Of course, this is all ideal.
Chi Xingyue didn't really put his hopes on nature. He just had to look for it anyway. He had to try it before he could know how valuable his action of obtaining the fungus strain was.
In addition, I also took the opportunity to stock up on some goods.
For example, winter mushrooms and the soil around them should be able to grow well in the current environment.
The little fairy instantly transformed into a Pixiu and was completely unable to control her desire to stock up.
Seeing that everyone was busy, he and Ling Jiheng strolled around.
The Ling family's actions puzzled everyone in Qingshan Village. They didn't understand why they were digging. They just stood by and watched, but no one offered to help.
Song Lizheng arrived quickly and knew at a glance that the other party was planning something big. However, with his limited knowledge, he really didn't understand why they had to come so far just to dig some dirt.
For the happy life of the villagers, I had no choice but to ask with a flattering face.
Mr. Ling was a little hesitant, but Mrs. Ling told the truth: "My granddaughter-in-law wants to try to grow mushrooms at home!"
"What? Growing mushrooms? This kind of mushroom can even be grown?" There was an uproar at the scene, all filled with disbelief.
The old lady ignored the looks from her two daughters-in-law and said firmly, "It should be possible. Let's give it a try. There's nothing to lose."
The old lady had a clear idea: once the harvest came, she would no longer be able to hide the fact that she was growing mushrooms. Rather than hiding it, she decided to be forthright.
If anyone in Qingshan Village wanted to learn, she would ask her granddaughter-in-law to teach them. Anyway, her family only farmed for one season, and next year, they would stop.
Besides, Yunrou County is so large, how many mushrooms can her family produce? It won't affect the market at all. Why not do it as a favor and give it to Qingshan Village?
Of course, you can't be too proactive, otherwise people will look down on you or take advantage of you.
The old lady struck a good balance, throwing out bait without making any promises.
Song Lizheng and the people in Qingshan Village were itching to continue listening, but they found that the other person had stopped talking.
"Madam, can this fungus really be grown? Can you just dig up some soil and grow mushrooms?"
The old lady rolled her eyes at Song Lizheng and thought, if it was really that simple, why hadn't anyone discovered the method before, and why did it have to be proposed by her granddaughter-in-law?
There must be some unknown techniques involved, and this is the key to negotiating terms with Song Lizheng.
Seeing that the old lady was determined not to speak, Song Lizheng became anxious. He scratched his head and bowed: "Old lady, can you teach the villagers how to grow mushrooms? What are the conditions? Tell me!"
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Song Lizheng took a step back: "Or, if your family needs any labor, you can find a young man in the village to do it. They are both hardworking and cheap."
The old lady teased: "Why, you want to steal my skills?"
"I wouldn't dare, I just want to bring in more money. You can see, there are indeed a few families in the village who are so poor that they can't even afford to eat. As the head of the village, I can't just stand by and watch."
The old lady nodded: "It's time to think of a solution."
Song Lizheng thought the other party agreed, and asked expectantly: "So..."
The old lady smiled and said, "I'll ask you for help if I need anything."
Song Lizheng: “…”
***
Chi Xingyue had no idea that her grandmother was so broad-minded and was already negotiating business for her.
She and Ling Jiheng walked deeper and deeper into the forest. They always felt that with the luck of two time travelers, they shouldn't be unable to find anything good.
With this mindset, the two of them went deeper and deeper, and finally found two Ganoderma lucidum on a dead tree.
Chi Xingyue was so surprised that she quickly picked the Ganoderma lucidum.
Ling Jiheng pretended to dig some soil around him, cut off the piece of wood where the Ganoderma lucidum was growing, and put it in his backpack.
Chi Xingyue pinched the Ganoderma lucidum and looked at it while asking, "Do you think there is ginseng in this mountain?"
Ling Jiheng shook his head. "I don't know. From what I know, ginseng grows in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. But this is the Great Yong Dynasty, and the climate is different from later times. It's hard to say whether there is ginseng in the deep mountains.
The ginseng at home is mostly produced in Beiliao. Because of its high quality and low yield, it is very expensive.
My grandfather exhausted all his connections back then, but he could only get a few of these."
The ginseng Ling Jiheng was referring to was a century-old ginseng. There were younger ones available, but they weren't as potent as the century-old ones.
Compared to this, the Third Prince was much richer. His treasury not only contained nourishing foods like snow frog, fish maw, and bird's nest, but also an incredible amount of century-old ginseng.
After a rough count, there were actually thirty or fifty of them. I don't know where they came from. I wonder if there are more than those in the imperial palace treasury.
Chi Xingyue's guess turned out to be the truth. The Third Prince was very ambitious. Not only had he stockpiled food and troops early on, but he had also secured several suppliers of medicinal herbs at the suggestion of his wife.
He obtained the best quality Chinese herbal medicines from the source and stockpiled a whole warehouse, but ended up getting taken away by Chi Xingyue.
Finding something this good these days is, in a word, difficult. Moreover, he has no money.
Of course, Chi Xingyue didn’t know any of this.
She just asked, not desperate to know the answer. After all, there were two mountains of medicinal herbs in the space, so there was nothing she couldn't find.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them headed back.
I was quite surprised to see Song Li being courteous before I even got close.
After a quick thought, I understood what the other person meant.
Chi Xingyue didn't mind telling the other party the method, but he had to consider the opinions of the Ling family, so he didn't say anything.
Ling Jiheng did the same, greeted the old lady, and stood aside.
When Song Lizheng saw Chi Xingyue coming back and was about to approach her to get closer, he noticed the Ganoderma lucidum in her hand.
His eyes widened in surprise: "Is this the legendary magical herb, Ganoderma lucidum?"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Yes, I picked them from the tree over there."
The direction Chi Xingyue pointed to was not very remote, but no one had ever been there.
No, some people have been there, but they don’t recognize it.
Just now, the aunt who had led the Ling family on the road slapped her thigh and cried, "Is this Ganoderma lucidum? I passed by it several times and thought it was just a lump of wood, so I didn't pick it.
Ahhh, God, you are blind."
Chi Xingyue was very upset, but he had no intention of "returning" the Ganoderma lucidum to the other party.
The little eye roll in my heart went up to the sky, and when the other party was crying, I said: "So you have to read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and broaden your horizons, so that you can get rich quickly."
Just like Cui Wan'er, who was literate and had some knowledge of pharmacology, she was able to collect Ganoderma lucidum and sell it in the pharmacy.
Of course, Chi Xingyue didn't know this. But the truth is the same: if you don't have sufficient knowledge, you won't be able to seize the opportunity even if it's right in front of you.
Chi Xingyue's remarks planted a seed called the imperial examination in the hearts of some people.
In the past, they only knew how to have enough food and clothes, and as farmers, they never dared to dream of becoming officials in the court.
What's more, those people in Dahe Village were exiled because they made mistakes.
With such real examples right in front of us, who would dare to say that studying is useful?
But the arrival of the Ling family was like a drop of hot oil dropped into cold water, making this village, which had been silent for a long time, boil.
It also destined Qingshan Village to be extraordinary in the future.
