Chapter 218 Winter Passes and Spring Comes
Chen Qingqing thought that the drug had taken effect and the big black python had been knocked unconscious, but she still did not dare to be careless. While observing the movements of the big python, she tentatively took a few steps forward.
Suddenly, the big black python opened its eyes and pounced towards her like lightning, spitting out its long red core.
Chen Qingqing was so frightened by this sudden scene that she couldn't help but curse, "Your broken system is killing me! How dare you sell fake medicine!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a 'ding~~' sounded, and a reminder sounded, "Host, don't worry. Xiaojie never does anything dishonest. This python is too big, and it didn't absorb much of the powder, so the effect of the medicine was not fully exerted."
"I'm about to be eaten alive by a python, and you're telling me the medicine isn't working. The instructions clearly say it'll make you faint in three seconds, but why isn't it fainting?"
"You operated it improperly. The python inhaled too little and even blamed Xiaojie."
"Okay, okay, I misunderstood you. Tell me how to make this python completely unconscious."
"Hmph, it would have been better if you were so humble earlier." After Xiaojie finished speaking, Chen Qingqing felt that there was something extra in her hand. She looked down and found that it was a tranquilizer gun.
She was delighted and raised her hand to shoot into the big black python's mouth. With a bang, all the anesthetic was shot into the snake's mouth.
"Not bad, you shot pretty well." Xiao Jie said in a teasing tone, then immediately said seriously, "The countdown begins, three, two, one, down."
When it was still one meter away from Chen Qingqing, the big black python fell down.
Looking at the big black python so close, Chen Qingqing was so scared that she swallowed her saliva and her face turned pale. "You bastard, you almost killed me. Why didn't you take out this good thing earlier?"
“Host, please don’t be angry. Xiaojie will only randomly draw a weapon suitable for you when your life is at stake.
However, there is no free lunch in the world. The tranquilizer gun requires a payment of one hundred taels of silver. Please enter the transaction system and pay as soon as possible.
Warm reminder, this medicine is only effective for two hours, host, please go dig ginseng as soon as possible, otherwise you will miss the chance."
Chen Qingqing was anxious when she heard this. She knew that digging ginseng was very time-consuming, and she couldn't use shovels or knives. She could only use professional tools to dig it out little by little to ensure that the roots of the ginseng were not damaged.
She quickly took out the tools she was looking for and followed the steps for digging ginseng, carefully digging with the deer bones.
Time passed bit by bit, and after more than an hour of hard work, the ginseng was finally dug out.
At this moment, a "ding~~" sound came from my mind, "The host is happy to obtain a ninth-grade ginseng. Are you willing to sell it at a high price?"
"You greedy bastard, stay away, I won't sell it to you!"
"Host, what are you talking about? I'm not just after money. I'm sincere. As long as you're willing to sell, I can make you rich in a second with this ginseng!"
Chen Qingqing immediately became interested. As the saying goes, 'Seven ounces is ginseng, and eight ounces is treasure'.
This ginseng weighs more than one kilogram. It is the best among treasures. It may really bring people back to life at a critical moment.
She wanted to know how much silver this treasure, which was rare in the sky and hard to find on the earth, could be sold for.
"Get rich in a second. Tell me, how much silver can this ginseng sell for?"
"Five hundred thousand taels, host, are you willing to sell it?"
"Five hundred thousand taels of gold?"
"Host, you're dreaming. The maximum is 550,000 taels of silver. Will you sell it?"
“Not for sale.”
Chen Qingqing did not hesitate. This was a treasure that could not be bought with any amount of money. How could she sell it easily? Although 550,000 taels of silver was really tempting, she chose no without hesitation and exited the space.
How could she bear to sell such good ginseng?
She wrapped the ginseng and put it into the space, then got up and left.
Xiaoyu had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Seeing Chen Qingqing coming back, he hurried forward and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"
"I'm fine now, let's go down the mountain and go home."
"Okay, this crappy place is not fun at all. We can finally go home!" Xiaoyu walked forward holding Chen Qingqing's hand like a child.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but shake her head and smile when she saw this. Ever since Xiaoyu woke up, she has always insisted on giving him acupuncture every day, in order to help him recover his memory as soon as possible and help him find his family.
But there is still no improvement. All his physical indicators are qualified. I don’t know what the problem is.
Maybe this is his fate, he can only be a fool in this life.

Time flies, and winter is gone and spring is here in a blink of an eye.
Chen Qingqing stayed in Nanshan Village throughout the winter.
Since moving into their new house, Chen Zhanshan and his wife have always had smiles on their faces.
Chen Han's studies in the academy have also made remarkable progress. Because he has the ability to remember everything he reads, Master Ye is very optimistic about him and has encouraged him to take part in this year's Tongsheng examination.
Chen Feng came back and stayed for a few days during the Chinese New Year. He had already discussed with Chen Qingqing that he would officially leave Qingshui Restaurant by the end of March this year and planned to open a restaurant of his own.
Chen Dabao has mastered the delivery job very well, and in his spare time he reads and learns to read with Chen Qingqing.
After several months of training, he had no problem doing independent calculations or reading account books, so Chen Qingqing no longer cared about the delivery.
Dabao's salary also increased from 900 coins to 2 taels of silver per month.
But he was very shrewd. He didn't tell anyone else about this except Chen Qingqing.
As the weather gradually warms up, the Spring Equinox is approaching.
In order to expand production, Chen Qingqing mobilized the entire village to grow sugar beets.
After Wu Baoan's vigorous publicity, most people in the village showed great enthusiasm.
Chen Qingqing distributed beet seeds to registered villagers, demonstrated how to plant them, and told them how to save the seeds for the future.
On this day, dozens of villagers gathered at the village entrance and expressed their opinions on growing sugar beets.
"This is a great thing. I plan to plant all the fields at home with beets this year."
"You're right, Dalongzi. I think so too. Beets are only three cents a pound, and the yield is high. It's much more suitable than growing grain."
"That's true, but no one has ever grown beets before. If they don't grow, the whole family will be left with nothing."
"Yeah, if it really doesn't grow, then I'll have to beg for food."
"You are such a coward, you will never have a good life. As the saying goes, wealth and glory are achieved through risk. If you don't take some risks, you can make a lot of money. I don't care about you. Anyway, I believe in Qing girl. I will plant beets on all ten acres of land at home."
"What the sixth wife said is right. The person I admire most in Nanshan Village is Qing Yatou. I agree with everything she says. I also grow beets at home."
