Chapter 48 Ginseng
Tan Yanlu's tears are good things. They are excellent tonics for both the human body and plants.
When she was in the city, Tan Yanlu once used her tears to cultivate flowers. The flowers grew exceptionally vigorous, bloomed lushly and beautifully, and even some color-changing varieties appeared.
Now that these ginseng seeds are in front of her, how can she let them go?
If this crop can be grown and sold on the black market, it would be an income that can just fill her already empty wallet.
When Tan Yanlu thought about the little money she had, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional. This was the first time in her life that she felt like having no money to spend!
Tan Yanlu has been thinking about ways to make money recently, and she also wanted to find an opportunity to go to the town to see if the supply and marketing cooperative sells any medicinal seeds!
When the time comes, I will use my tears to take good care of it. It will not affect her body as long as I don't shed too many tears at one time. After it grows, I will take it to the purchasing station in town to sell it and add some income to myself.
However, she didn't expect that after searching for a long time, she actually found the ginseng seeds without any effort. Naturally, Tan Yanlu would not miss this opportunity.
So Tan Yanlu said, "Aunt Huniu, can you give me these seeds as well? I want to take them back and plant them for fun to see if I can grow them."
Hu Niu's mother was very surprised, but these were medicinal seeds, and they were found by her father-in-law, so she didn't dare to make the decision to give the seeds to Tan Yanlu: "If you want these seeds, I have to ask my father-in-law. After all, they are his things. I dare not make a decision without asking him."
Tan Yanlu naturally didn't dare to show how eager she was, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then go and ask. This is the first time I've seen ginseng seeds, and I think they're so interesting that I want to plant some for fun."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go ask my father-in-law." Hu Niu's mother turned and went into her parents-in-law's room, and didn't come out until a long time later.
Hu Niu's mother said with a little embarrassment: "Tan Zhiqing, my father-in-law said that it's okay to give you these seeds, but these seeds are wild.
Moreover, ginseng seeds can be used as medicinal materials and can be worth a few dollars if sent to a purchasing station.
My father-in-law said that if you want it, you can exchange two eggs for one seed. ”
Hu Niu's mother's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. She felt that the price was too high. Even if the seeds were worth some money, they would not be worth much if sent to the purchasing station. These six or seven seeds would cost more than a dozen eggs.
Now eggs in the supply and marketing cooperatives are five cents each, and a pound is 48 cents. A dozen eggs are almost a pound, nearly two pounds, which costs almost one dollar.
No matter how valuable the ginseng seeds are, they can't be worth just one dollar!
When Tan Yanlu heard this, she frowned. She was not an out-of-touch person. After some calculation in her mind, she knew that the old man was asking for too much.
However, even if she was being blackmailed, Tan Yanlu had to buy the ginseng seeds, but she didn't need to buy all of them.
Who made her golden finger so powerful! As long as she has one seed, Tan Yanlu can cultivate countless seeds.
Tan Yanlu pretended to be in deep thought: "Is that so? Then I'll just change a seed. I'm just growing it for fun out of curiosity, so I don't need so many seeds.
But I don’t have any eggs with me, so I’ll ask Hu Niu to go back with me to get some eggs. ”
Hu Niu's mother originally thought that if she wanted to exchange these ginseng seeds for so many eggs, Tan Yanlu would definitely not want them.
She was still thinking about when to take the seeds to the purchasing station to exchange for some money. She didn't expect that Tan Yanlu was willing to exchange seeds. Although it was only one seed, it was still a profit.
Jiang Panyu naturally didn’t know about these things, but even if she knew, she would pretend not to know. This was someone else’s golden finger, and it could not be envied.
After Tan Yanlu got the ginseng seeds, she couldn't wait to plant them.
Although it was freezing cold, she still ran outside to dig some frozen soil and put it in a broken clay pot that no one wanted. She placed it on the kang and left it there overnight until the soil thawed.
Then he poured most of the clean water into it, and then he blinked a tear and fell into the bowl. The clean water turned into spiritual spring water. Tan Yanlu thought of using the spiritual spring water to nourish the soil first.
He also found a bowl for the ginseng seeds and soaked them in spiritual spring water. After a day and a night, he planted the seeds in a clay pot and then solemnly placed it next to the kang where he slept.
Although there was no sunlight, the temperature indoors was pleasant, and the ginseng seeds sprouted within a day and a night after being planted.
When she saw the tender little sprouts, Tan Yanlu felt as if she saw banknotes waving at her and her mood was very happy.
When her mood was good, Tan Yanlu's cooking skills improved rapidly. Jiang Panyu's cheeks were bulging from eating so much. She couldn't understand how Tan Yanlu could make these ordinary ingredients so delicious?
Thinking about the big pot meals I made at the educated youth camp before, I wouldn’t say they were bad, but compared with Tan Yanlu’s cooking skills, I really felt sorry for my stomach.
Panyu really admired Tan Yanlu's endurance. She had eaten the food for two or three months without batting an eyelid. If she had half of Tan Yanlu's cooking skills, she would have moved out to live on her own long ago!
Ever since the ginseng seeds sprouted, Tan Yanlu has focused her life on them. It is not an exaggeration to say that she takes good care of them. After all, she is still hoping that the ginseng will grow and she can exchange it for some money to spend. How can she not pay attention to it!
The ginseng watered with the magical spring water underwent a drastic change in just half a month. It had quickly grown from a small tender bud into a plant.
Just by looking at the stems and leaves, you can tell how thick the ginseng buried in the soil is. During this period, Tan Yanlu also collected seeds and counted more than 20.
The plants grown with the spiritual spring are very good, especially the medicinal herbs, which have purer medicinal effects. Now that she has new ginseng seeds, Tan Yanlu naturally has no plans to sit idle, and she got a few clay jars to plant ginseng. As long as her portable spiritual spring is still there, Tan Yanlu can keep planting ginseng, and it is not impossible for her to rely on this to get rich.
Jiang Panyu naturally noticed Tan Yanlu's little action, but she could only pretend not to know.
During this period of time, Gao Shaolin and Gao Dasao got married. Their marriage was very low-key. They simply notified a few relatives, made some brown sugar water, and gave a bowl of it to the relatives who came to congratulate them. That was the end of the matter.
Mrs. Gao quietly moved the clothes to Gao Shaolin's room, and the two children also changed their way of calling Gao Shaolin "Dad". Now they really became a proper family of four.
Jiang Panyu didn't care about the Gao family's affairs. What she wanted to think about now was that when Tan Yanlu brought the ginseng she grew to the town, the third event point would be activated. What should she do then?
You must know that this is a critical moment that could cost Tan Yanlu her life, and we cannot be careless.
