Chapter 141 Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!
"Wild ginseng?!" Old man Wang's voice changed with surprise. He slapped Old man Tai aside and carefully picked up the birch bark.
"Fresh? Freshly dug?" He looked at it over and over as if it were a priceless treasure. Finally, he burst into a curse, "Who did this? Don't you know the rules of ginseng picking? Why is the ginseng root broken? You're wasting such a good thing! What a sin!"
Old Master Tai stood with Banxianer, touching his nose with a guilty and embarrassed look.
When they discovered the wild ginseng, they were so happy that they wanted to dig it out as soon as possible, and they didn't care about any rules.
Besides, if I bring back the whole ginseng, what else would I need?
It can only be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, ginseng is a treasure that can be sold for silver.
In the eyes of doctors, it is a magical thing that can save lives!
Banxian'er couldn't see ginseng, but he understood the ways of the world better than his old friend. It was obvious that this medical geek was thrilled to see the prey and didn't consider himself an outsider...
He quickly apologized to Grandpa Tai, "Brother, this... don't bother with this fool. He's been wandering around in the mountains for years and hasn't found any good ginseng. He suddenly saw it today and couldn't help but get excited."
Grandpa Tai was not afraid that Old Wang would go crazy, but he was afraid that he would not be interested. After all, he still needed to exchange this ginseng for something else.
He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own preferences. For example, I can't move when I see a good sword."
At this moment, Old Wang had already opened another birch bark package, revealing a ginseng that was a circle smaller.
He was so happy that he almost fainted, jumping up and down and shouting, "One plant grows every five hundred years, one plant grows every four hundred years! What kind of idiotic luck did your family have to have picked two? Sell them to me, you must sell them all to me, otherwise I will... I will not leave!"
Banxianer could no longer bear to watch, so he pulled up his sleeves to cover his face, wishing he didn't know this old scoundrel.
Instead, the old man walked forward with a smile and handed over the Ganoderma lucidum in the straw basket.
"Doctor Wang, can you help us take another look at this? Is it Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Yes, yes!" Old Man Wang was so ecstatic that he didn't know what to say. "Give it all to me, give it all to me!"
At the end of his speech, he almost wiped away tears. "Why am I so unlucky? I've been searching in the mountains for years and haven't seen a single good herb. And you found it so easily in your house. I'm so pissed off!"
As the old saying goes, comparison is the thief of joy.
He practiced medicine all his life and became very famous, but he had no luck in collecting herbs.
Every time we need medicinal herbs, we either have to buy them at a high price or ask the patients to find a way themselves, which is really embarrassing.
Now, when I suddenly see the Tai family like this, able to easily gain countless things, I can’t help but feel jealous and aggrieved!
Old Master Tai quickly signaled his son to take the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, and then asked Doctor Wang and Banxianer to sit down and have tea.
Doctor Wang's eyes followed Tai Jizu's movements, fearing that he would drop the treasure, and even more afraid that he would hide it and not give it to him.
"Oh, brother, you have to sell me these treasures! Don't look at my rags, but I have money. If you don't believe me, ask Banxian. You can name any price, I will never argue."
Banxianer was pulled so hard by his old friend that he staggered and no longer had the energy to be angry with him, so he just casually helped out with the guarantee.
"Yes, yes! Brother Tai, my old friend is just a little unkempt. He doesn't mind being poor, as he can earn a lot by treating patients."
After saying that, he fumbled to pick up the package beside him and said with a smile, "Here are two boxes of snacks and candied fruits. They were specially sent by the owner when I treated a patient the other day. I brought them here today for Zhuzhu to try!"
Then he shouted, "Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu! Grandpa Banxian is here and has brought you some delicious food!"
Zhuzhu was naughty in the forest, and even with Chunhong taking care of her, she acted like a wild child.
At this moment, she was taken downstairs to wash her hands and face, and her braids were re-combed, and she turned back into a cute chubby girl.
Hearing Banxianer's words, she ran over quickly from the backyard, her chubby legs moving very fast.
"The most skilled fortune teller, Grandpa Banxian, is here!" Zhuzhu's little mouth is so sweet that she can make Banxian open his heart to her with just one word when they meet.
He quickly fumbled to move the chair beside him, and then carried the two large boxes over.
Yang Lihua was afraid that her daughter would fall, so she helped open it.
The two boxes had four layers in total, filled with various snacks and candied fruits. Yang Lihua only took out one layer for her daughter to eat and put the rest away.
Zhuzhu kicked her chubby little legs and talked to Banxian while eating.
One of them has a baby voice, the other one is smiling, they seem like friends regardless of age.
Since others are willing to treat their own children well, the Tai family, young and old, are naturally happy and feel closer to Banxianer.
Old Wang was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, because Old Man Tai refused to confess. If such a good treasure was bought by someone else, he would be so angry that he would die.
Old Master Tai did not go too far, and after whetting Old Wang's appetite, he said, "Doctor Wang, don't worry. If our family sells these wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, we will definitely sell them to you.
"But right now, the most important thing is to heal my grandson's leg. Why don't you, Doctor Wang and Brother Banxian'er, stay at home for a few days and let me treat them well? Then we can discuss what to do with the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, okay?"
Old Wang was in a bad mood and wanted to say something but was stopped by Banxian.
"You idiot, why are you in such a hurry? The sky is waiting for you to patch the hole, otherwise the Milky Way will leak. Just listen to Brother Tai and stay here peacefully. Heal the child's leg. Brother Tai loves the child the most. Now that the child is cured, how can you be unhappy?"
"Oh, yes, yes, Brother Banxianer knows me best." Old Master Tai laughed and replied, "While digging for herbs, we also caught a few wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains. We will stew them tonight.
Later, let the boys go to the river to catch some small fish. We will make a stewed fish with sauce, which is perfect for drinking."
Before Banxianer and Old Man Wang could say anything, Zhuzhu clapped her hands with joy and shouted with a smile, "Eat fish, eat fish, the fish made by Second Aunt is delicious!"
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyong had already run out the door, found a scoop net and a wooden barrel, and headed straight to the river.
Tai Jizong remembered the last time and was afraid that the two boys would cause trouble in the whole village again, so he hurriedly followed them.
Seeing this, Old Man Wang had no choice but to give up "resistance"...
Old Master Tai called Tai Jizu to invite the clan leader, the third brother.
Firstly, life was better at home, and he always wanted to take his third brother to eat more good food, not for any other reason, but because he was old and should enjoy as much as he could eat.
Secondly, when guests come to the house, the clan leader accompanies them, which shows that he values the guests.
Ever since Uncle Tai San heard from his little grandson that his old brother and his family had returned, he has been walking around his yard with his hands behind his back.
As expected, he received the call from his old brother. He was so happy that his beard stood up high. He hurriedly gave some instructions and left.
The old lady, sitting under the eaves picking bean seeds, couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. She scolded with a smile, "This old man is never home all day. Let him move to the village entrance tomorrow!"
