Next, Yue Jiuyue took over the task of carefully searching for ginseng.
She didn't think there would be any ginseng here, since the protagonists in novels always found it in deep mountains and forests, and this was only the second mountain. If it weren't for the fear that wild boars might suddenly run out, Lin Chaodong and the others wouldn't have been so worried about her safety.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chaobei actually found it. Of course, she wanted to find it too. After all, ginseng is much more expensive than things like Polygala tenuifolia or Eleusine indica, and since it's wild ginseng, it's sure to fetch a good price!
Sure enough, not far from where Lin Chaobei found the ginseng, Yue Jiuyue actually found two more, which even had green ginseng seeds, causing Yue Jiuyue to be quite conflicted for a while.
Should we dig now, or wait until the ginseng seeds are mature?
"Fourth brother, did you throw away this ginseng seed just now?"
Yue Jiuyue suddenly remembered that the ginseng Lin Chaobei had shown her earlier was just ginseng, without leaves or seeds.
Lin Chaobei nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, Mother, I saw that you didn't take any of the ginseng, you just picked it all and threw it away."
Yue Jiuyue: ...
Every day, there are always a few moments when she is utterly speechless.
Well, she didn't know there was ginseng here, let alone that the ginseng had already passed its flowering season, and she would never have imagined that the ginseng had already produced seeds.
"Look, these green fruits are ginseng seeds. They turn red when ripe. They can be used to grow ginseng and also sold to clinics. These seeds also have medicinal value."
Yue Jiuyue took Lin Chaobei to the place where she found the ginseng and pointed it out to him.
"Mother, you know so much!"
Lin Chaobei was surprised that his mother knew so much! It seems that it was his mother who first brought up the idea of selling medicinal herbs in their village. His mother is really amazing!
"What do you know? Everyone knows the importance of seeds, let alone ginseng seeds."
Yue Jiuyue's explanation was casual and completely half-hearted.
"Yeah, that's true."
Thinking about what Yue Jiuyue said, Lin Chaobei realized that his actions just now made him seem like an idiot.
How could seeds not be important!
Without seeds, there are no crops; without crops, what will they eat? How will they survive?
He overlooked even such a simple thing, and even threw away the immature seeds on the ginseng.
Wait a minute! The ginseng his mother dug up didn't have any seeds, did it?
"Mother, did you throw away the seeds from the ginseng you just dug up?"
When Yue Jiuyue heard Lin Chaobei's question, her body stiffened instantly. How could she have forgotten about this!
"Ah, yes, I just remembered that too."
Although it was embarrassing, Yue Jiuyue felt that she could give up the face in order to receive mature ginseng seeds.
She wanted to see if she could grow ginseng from the ginseng seeds at home. If she could, it would at least bring in some extra income for the family. If she couldn't, it wouldn't matter; it would just be a waste of ginseng seeds and effort, since it was all free.
Of course, even if we were to try it, we would have to wait until the famine was over.
Lin Chaobei, standing nearby, didn't think too much about it. Hearing that Yue Jiuyue had also forgotten about the ginseng seeds, he suddenly realized that he wasn't so bad after all. Who wouldn't be excited to suddenly see ginseng? Forgetting it is only human nature.
Thinking this, Lin Chaobei looked at the two ginseng roots still in the soil, his eyes sparkling as if they held a pair of ¥ symbols.
