Wei Mo continued clearing away the surrounding debris, working slowly and meticulously. His family members nearby chimed in with comments.
"Do you need our help?"
Seeing that Wei Mo's cleaning was not progressing quickly, the others were getting anxious, but Wei Mo spoke up.
"No need, no need, I can do this myself. This is old enough, even a single root has great medicinal effect."
The others could only watch anxiously from the sidelines. As time slowly passed, Wei Mo finally dug the entire ginseng out of the ground.
Including the roots, the entire plant is at least 30 centimeters long. This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Wei Mo was overjoyed as he looked at the ginseng in his hand.
"The ginseng is of extremely perfect quality," Wei Mo said to everyone.
"It's this ginseng. This thing can save a life, even many lives, in critical moments."
The family members nodded, and then Wei Mo carefully wrapped the ginseng and put it in his arms.
Then everyone started searching for ginseng, as the wild ginseng from Northeast China has particularly high medicinal value.
However, the overdevelopment of later generations is not so easy to find, but in this day and age, there are still quite a few of these things.
As the family dispersed, not long after, Li Xiuxiu exclaimed in surprise. Sure enough, it was another ginseng. The others, seeing this, were also anxious and stopped looking at it, instead starting to search carefully around the area.
“Aunt Xiuxiu, you are so lucky. This ginseng is at least twenty or thirty years old.”
After cleaning the ginseng, Wei Mo spoke to Li Xiuxiu, who was standing beside him. Li Xiuxiu smiled and replied to Wei Mo,
"As long as it's useful and can help you, that's fine."
Seeing Li Xiuxiu's expression, Wei Mo was quite happy. He then said,
"Aunt Xiuxiu, do you know how much this ginseng is worth?"
Li Xiuxiu shook her head, but Wei Mo slowly spoke.
"This ginseng would cost at least five small yellow croakers even on the black market."
Upon hearing this news, Li Xiuxiu's eyes widened!
What? This single blade of grass is worth five small yellow croakers!
Although Li Xiuxiu was wealthy, she started searching again after learning how valuable the item was.
Wei Mo also began searching and collecting other medicinal herbs.
Whenever a new medicinal herb is collected, everyone is gathered together to see the shape of the new herb.
The activity continued until noon before everyone prepared to go home. A total of four ginseng plants were collected, two of which were discovered by Li Xiuxiu.
There is also the one that Wei Xiaomin found, and of course, the first one that the old man found, which was the oldest one.
After returning home, Wei Mo happily dried all the medicinal herbs, and instructed his family to keep them safe.
Qian Manman had already started cooking, while the others were tidying up other things in the house.
Five of the chicks Wei Mo bought have died, but the remaining ten have grown quite large and are expected to lay eggs soon.
The thought of being able to openly and legitimately take out the eggs in the future made Wei Mo very happy.
However, as the weather grew cooler, even the house became a bit chilly. Wei Mo pondered how to solve this problem. After thinking for a while, Wei Mo called over the old man.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, can you get some? A sheet of metal or a metal bucket?"
Seeing his eldest grandson asking questions, the old man thought about it seriously. Steel is a scarce resource, and it is not easy to obtain. The old man would do his best to meet his grandson's needs.
"Then I'll try my best. What do you need these for?"
Wei Mo smiled, looked at the old man in front of him, and slowly spoke.
"Winter is coming soon, and it's getting a bit chilly inside. I'm thinking of building a heater or a heated wall inside the house."
After hearing Wei Mo's idea, the old man nodded and said to Wei Mo,
"That's fine, I'll do my best. Grandson, wait for my news at home."
In fact, Wei Mo had a solution: to buy things from the space store. However, he had to come up with a good reason every time he took something out.
In particular, how should we explain the brand-new tin chimney and the brand-new grate? We can only wait for news from the old man for the time being.
Wei Mo told Wang Zhenhua and Li Xiuxiu about his idea and asked them if they had any suggestions.
"Aunt Xiuxiu, Mom, do you think I should get some tin chimneys? But I don't know how to explain it."
Li Xiuxiu frowned and spoke to Sister Wang beside her.
"Sister Wang, I think we shouldn't take it out yet. Let's see if Godfather can get it back. If he can't, then we'll think of another way."
Wang Zhenhua nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's do it this way. But we can build the others first. After all, it's still too cold in winter. The warmer the house is, the fewer illnesses we'll get."
The group reached a consensus and then waited for the old man to return.
But when the old man returned, he was empty-handed, with absolutely nothing in his possession. Such things were extremely scarce in Northeast China.
The old man was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said to his eldest grandson.
"Xiao Weimo, this thing is so scarce, you can't find any of these at all."
However, Wei Mo didn't mind. He took the old man's hand and gestured for him to squat down. After the old man squatted down, Wei Mo whispered something in his ear.
“Sir, I asked Li Taiping to do it for us. It cost a little money, but it will save us from suffering in the winter.”
When the old man heard Wei Mo mention Li Taiping, he frowned slightly, but considering it was for the sake of his family, he didn't say anything more.
She simply nodded to Wei Mo, somewhat worried.
"Okay, I'll be a little careful then."
Seeing that the old man did not refuse, Wei Mo agreed with his statement and said to the old man,
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you and Grandma should move in with us in a few days. After all, the weather is getting colder. I'll try to make sure the house is heated. Why are you staying there freezing instead of moving in?"
Wang Zhenhua, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and quickly picked up where Wei Mo left off.
"Yes, yes, godfather, why don't you move in? Our house is big enough, and Xiuxiu is all better now. No, let Wei Mo and Xiuxiu come to my room."
"Then you and your godmother, you two will stay in Weimona's house for now."
The old man seemed to be struggling, and his other goddaughters, such as Qian Manman, Yu Juan, and Wang Ling, came up to persuade him.
Grandma Wang, who was standing to the side, didn't offer any opinion, intending to listen to her husbands. The old man thought for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Oh well."
Upon receiving the old man's reply, everyone's eyes lit up, after all, the old man was getting on in years, and the old house there would be quite cold in winter.
If we move to the new house, the whole family can rest assured.
"That's great, let's start moving things then."
After Wei Mo finished speaking, Wei Xiaomin cheered from the side.
"Oh, moving, going to help Grandma and Grandpa move,"
Then the whole family walked in a large procession toward the old man's house.
