He sold a few ginseng roots, then went to Jiangnan County to collect the silver from the two branch stores, as well as the revenue from the restaurant and his own pastry shop.
Just enough to buy the land.
"Let's go, Xiongxiong will take you there."
Fat Bear gestured for Yan Xia to "get in the car."
Yan Xia sat on its back once again.
I ran for five minutes.
We've arrived.
This place is close to a cliff.
"Lanlan should be sleeping. Don't wake her up, or she'll start bothering Xiongxiong. Xiongxiong is so annoying."
When Fat Bear spoke, his voice became much lower.
You can tell that it really dislikes this grizzly bear named Lanlan.
"good."
Yan Xia responded softly.
She came to the ginseng flower and slowly squatted down.
This flower is not as vibrant as the previous one; it's a deep, muted red.
The rhizome is very thick, extremely thick.
It may be ginseng that is over 500 years old.
Yan Xia dug even more carefully.
It took half an hour to dig out the ginseng.
It was as big as an arm.
Like a newborn baby.
Lifelike.
"Damn, this is more than five hundred years, it's at least a thousand years."
Yan Xia sighed.
A 500-year-old ginseng is worth 500 taels of silver.
But a thousand-year-old ginseng wouldn't be worth a thousand taels.
The older the age, the rarer it becomes.
A thousand-year-old ginseng, if sold in a county in Jiangnan or near the capital.
It could easily fetch over two thousand taels.
Yan Xia placed the ginseng in her spatial dimension.
Suppressing my excitement, I looked around.
After walking seven or eight meters, we found another spot where two ginseng plants were growing side by side.
The fat bear got tired of waiting and leaned against the tree to take a nap.
They dug for more than an hour.
Yan Xia acquired a total of two 300-year-old ginseng plants, two 200-year-old ginseng plants, one 500-year-old ginseng plant, and one 1000-year-old ginseng plant.
I don't know what kind of auspicious place this is, that so many ginseng plants grow here.
It's probably because there are very few people who come to the mountains, and the fat bear said that it was born here and its parents lived here before they died, so this place is dangerous and no one dares to come here.
As a result, ginseng has been able to grow steadily for so many years.
Yan Xia explored the entire neighborhood.
Only after all traces of ginseng were gone did she let Fat Bear take her away.
Back to square one.
Yan Xia got off the fat bear.
"Next time I come up the mountain, I'll come find you myself. Don't wander off to the outer areas, understand? I'll give you another task: keep an eye on your cousin and don't let him eat people. If you see any wild animals bullying people, you must save them, understand?"
"Yes, Master—"
While on the road, Yan Xia successfully tricked Fatty Bear into changing his mind.
What beautiful bear?
She's not a bear.
"Go back, I'll watch you leave."
Yan Xia watched the fat bear until it disappeared from sight before heading down the mountain.
It's already afternoon.
Her stomach was growling loudly with hunger.
“Auntie, you’re finally out! Aunt Zhao has come to ask several times. She said you must be starving and didn’t have time to cook, so she prepared your food and is keeping it warm in the kitchen. She asked me to tell you to remember to eat.”
Zhao Zirong looked at Yan Xia's hands, which were covered in mud.
I was a little curious about what she was doing in the mountains.
However, he was very tactful and did not ask, but instead relayed Zhao Xinrong's words to her.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
After speaking with Zhao Zirong, Yan Xia returned home.
The gate was closed.
Pushing open the door and stepping into the kitchen, you can smell the aroma of food.
I opened the pot and found half a bowl of rice, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of stir-fried cured pork with chili peppers, and a bowl of soup.
Yan Xia quickly washed her hands and sat down in the kitchen to start eating.
They starved to death.
I'm so hungry.
It's almost dinner time, and she hasn't even had lunch yet.
Just thinking about the ginseng in the space made her feel as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
........
At that time, Jin Yu had just returned from outside the city.
He sat in the carriage, with the yamen servant beside him being very attentive.
"Young Master Jinyu, what do you think of that piece of land? Don't worry, Manager Yan and I are acquaintances, I won't cheat you. If you like it, I'll lower the price by ten taels of silver."
He shook his head cautiously.
“Although that piece of land is 500 mu, it is far away and scattered. Although it is in the same village, it is scattered here and there, making it difficult to manage. Kongya people, please help us find some other land.”
"Okay, then I'll keep an eye on it for you. I'll come to Yan's Pastry Shop to find you if I get any news."
"Okay, just drop me off at the shop entrance."
Jin Yu remained calm and composed, showing no fear or trepidation at the flattery of the Confucian scribe.
Having been served by a bunch of servants since childhood, and then framed and killed, his family was destroyed, and he went from being the son of a third-rank official to a lowly status. How could his state of mind be compared to that of an ordinary person?
Back to the pharmacy.
Kong Yaren rubbed his face, which had stiffened from smiling.
"Brother Kong, why are you being so humble? He's just Manager Yan's subordinate. Is he worth serving like that?"
Another broker, Xu, witnessed Kong's change in attitude that morning.
"You know nothing! Do you know how many acres he wants to buy? A thousand acres! That's a thousand acres! If the deal goes through, I'll get at least fifty taels in commission. What do you know? What's wrong with my subordinate? Look at that young master's demeanor and appearance. Is he an ordinary person? Manager Yan entrusts such an important matter to him. What does that mean? It means that this handsome young master is her confidant! Her confidant! If we serve him well, what will we have to worry about in the future?"
"What? A thousand acres? My goodness, is Manager Yan's pastry shop really that profitable? It's only been open for a year and she's already made so much money. Didn't she just buy two houses? And now she's buying land again?"
Xu Yaren's mouth was wide open.
Everyone was stunned.
"Of course it'll make money! Haven't you heard the rumors? Manager Yan has opened a branch shop in Jiangnan County! That's Jiangnan County! You can make a fortune even selling a lousy pancake there! Besides, Manager Yan's pastries are so delicious, how could they not sell? People in Jiangnan County will probably be scrambling to buy them. Just you wait and see, I'll be able to live in a two-courtyard mansion sooner or later thanks to Manager Yan. Don't be envious of me then!"
Xu Yaren's attitude changed abruptly.
She bent down and poured a cup of tea for the quack.
Although it was a cheap, low-grade tea that was worthless in the tea brokerage business.
But the people of Kongya drank it with great relish.
"Brother Kong, please take good care of me. If you rise to prominence in the future and have any guests you don't like, feel free to leave them to me."
"Tsk, no problem, no problem."
Kong Yaren took a big sip of tea.
I felt incredibly happy.
He had his legs crossed, looking like a chief eunuch.
"Is anyone here? I'd like to sell a shop—"
This appearance disappears instantly after a new customer enters the store.
What brotherhood?
Kong Yaren put down his teacup, ignoring Xu Yaren beside him.
He rushed ahead to the guest who had just entered.
He said solicitously, "Sir, my surname is Kong. May I ask which shop you wish to sell?"
“............”
Xu Ya was so angry he wanted to smash the teacup on the table.
