He Jun deliberately circled on the road, and after making sure that no one was following him, he rode his bicycle quickly back home.
"Xiaojun, did you get it?"
As soon as He Jun's father and brother received the news that there was wild high-aged ginseng, the father and son rushed back and also arranged for someone to invite an old Chinese doctor.
"Dad, brother, we got it." He Jun was small but very smart. He assigned his brother a task: "Brother, go see if there's anyone chasing us outside."
He Yao nodded, called the brother who had come to report the news earlier, and the two of them split up and went outside to check.
Soon, He Yao and his brother returned and saw that his younger brother had already taken out two ginseng roots. He didn't know how to identify medicinal herbs, but he could tell from the aroma that they were two high-quality ginseng roots. He asked him, "Xiao Jun, did Sister Ying give them to you?"
"Well, I didn't expect Sister Ying to have such a good thing. Luckily Brother Lu asked for help today, otherwise we would have to spend a lot of time and energy looking for it."
He Yao handed the ginseng to his father and thought, "Who is this Sister Ying?"
"Brother, don't ask about other people's affairs, and don't investigate them. Sister Ying is definitely not an ordinary citizen. She has a force behind her that she doesn't want to reveal."
He Jun had come into contact with her many times and believed in her character. He also said to his father: "Dad, Sister Ying said that we should use the medicine first. If it doesn't work, she will recommend us a famous hidden doctor."
"A famous hidden doctor?" He's father frowned slightly.
"Sister Ying has a farm behind her. She just told me that real masters of traditional Chinese medicine won't show up easily now." He Jun believed that his father could guess something.
He's father's eyes flickered slightly, and he had a guess in his mind. He said, "Okay, let's have the doctor come over and ask him to prescribe some medicine for the old man to drink and see the effect. If he doesn't recover well, we'll go ask her for help."
After saying this, he looked down at the two ginseng roots and arranged things for his son: "It's like having a doctor come over. Have him examine these two ginseng roots. If he confirms that they are a hundred years old, you, big brother, will immediately ask for leave from work and personally deliver these ginseng roots to Kyoto."
"good."
Doctor Yu was quickly brought in. His hair was gray, his back was hunched, and his face was covered with age spots. He was out of breath as he walked, looking like he was on the verge of death. However, when he saw the two ginseng roots, he suddenly became energetic and asked, "Comrade He, where did you get these two pieces of top-grade ginseng?"
Hearing the word "top-grade", the He family, father and son, breathed a sigh of relief. He's father also smiled and said, "Doctor Yu, have you seen clearly? These two ginseng roots are really top-grade?"
"Top quality, top quality. One root is seventy or eighty years old, and another is over a hundred years old. The person who dug the ginseng must have been an expert. It's not damaged at all. It's been well preserved and protected, and the medicinal properties haven't lost at all. Top quality ginseng like this is rare."
"This was sent by a friend of ours. We just couldn't believe it was real. Now that you've confirmed it, it's good."
He's father was really relieved now, and he even gave his most unruly youngest son a look of praise.
He Jun was very happy and patted Lu Ge's shoulder with a smile, "Brother Lu, today is all thanks to you. I won't say thank you to you as a brother. I will help you get your brother's job later."
"Little ghost, I will follow you and enjoy the best food and drink, but I won't be polite."
Brother Lu narrowed his eyes in a smile, thinking that they still had important things to do, and immediately said: "Uncle He, Brother Yao, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going back to sell the goods first. Feel free to call me if you need anything."
"Okay, Xiaolu, thank you for your hard work today." He's father said goodbye to him in a friendly manner.
After the doctor took the ginseng to prepare the medicine, He's father asked his son, "Xiaojun, did you pay for these two ginseng roots?"
"Not yet. Sister Ying just gave me some ginseng and told me to leave quickly, saying someone was following her. She said she would come back to talk to me about money next time."
He Jun actually didn't know the price of the ginseng. He just had a thousand yuan in cash on him and wanted to use it as a deposit, but when she said she would pay the bill next time they met and someone was following him, he didn't take it out.
He didn't know the price of ginseng, but He's father did know a little bit and estimated the price: "These two ginseng together are worth at least 18,000 yuan."
"Just now, Doctor Yu said that these are two top-quality ones. With such excellent quality, there will be a lot of people rushing to grab them if they are priced at 20,000."
He Yao really didn't expect that the friend he made in the black market had such good stuff in his hands, but considering that the transaction volume of a batch of goods from the other party was 10,000 or 20,000, he also guessed that there was an extraordinary force behind the other party.
He's father didn't say anything else. He went back to his room and took out a passbook and gave it to his youngest son. "There's over 20,000 yuan in this passbook. Your friend has helped the family a lot. Please give her more money and thank her on behalf of your father."
"Okay." He Jun responded.
Yun Huaying had returned to the team by then, and they had not concealed the fact that they were going to the county town to sell pine mushrooms. When the neighbors and educated youth in the team learned that they sold them for eight cents per pound, everyone now ran to the county town carrying their morning's harvest to sell their goods.
The price of eight cents per pound is relatively low, but they basically found most of the basket in the morning, so they can make a few cents.
The three of them did not go into the mountains in the afternoon. She had just lied and said that she had bought two old hens from a friend in the county town. Now she was at home making fresh Gastrodia elata steamed chicken produced in the space. She had been doing a lot of mental work recently, so she wanted to get some nutritional supplements to replenish her body.
Around five o'clock, the steamed chicken was ready, and Yun Huaying brought a portion to the Han family.
"Huaying, what delicious food is here?"
Grandpa Han was sitting at the gate reading a newspaper. When he saw her bringing food again, he smiled, put the newspaper down, and said to the kitchen next door, "Meishu, Huaying is here to bring food again."
Grandma Han was making fried rice. The two elders had decided to have a simple meal tonight, so they made some pickled cabbage fried rice. She saw that she had brought a whole chicken. "Huaying, you've been translating and reading lately, so keep this steamed chicken for yourself to nourish your body."
"Grandma Han, I just bought two chickens in the county town and steamed them together. One is enough for the three of us."
Yun Huaying placed the bowl on the table in the main hall and said, "I steamed it with some medicinal herbs. Eat it while it's hot. I'm going back to eat."
She was so kind, the two elders had no choice but to accept it. Grandma Han smiled and said, "Okay, go back and eat. I'll bring the bowl down later."
Lin Shan and the others had already set the table. In addition to the steamed chicken, there were also leftovers from the cured rabbit stewed with pine mushrooms from lunch. The three of them each shared half a bowl of the leftovers.
Yun Huaying washed her hands and came over. She used chopsticks to break off two chicken legs and put them in their bowls. "You guys have the legs, and I'll eat the wings."
"Yun Huaying, here's the chicken leg for you."
Jiang Yuan put the chicken in her bowl without saying a word. She bought the chicken and she refused to take the money just now. She felt embarrassed to eat the chicken leg.
Seeing that Lin Shan was about to take some, Yun Huaying stopped her and put the chicken leg back into Jiang Yuan's bowl: "Okay, stop picking it up. Next time we steam it, I'll eat the chicken leg and you can have the chicken wings."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed, and then said, "Lin Shan and I will come to buy chicken next time."
Lin Shan nodded: "Well, I'll buy it next month, and Jiang Yuan will buy it the month after next."
"Okay." Yun Huaying had no objection.
