Now he is really, really, really happy.
If only Dad were here too.
Gu Zhen clenched his hands and said that he would repay Gu Dad and the others in the future and take good care of his father.
"You kid, get up!"
Gu Zhen was helped up by Gu Xiangbei and Jiang Xiaoqiao. Gu Jinhua said that Gu Zhen was a fool. Looking at the red mark on his forehead, she asked He Zhaodi to boil two eggs and roll them on his forehead to remove the mark.
Gu Weimin also said: "Gu Zhen, you are the child of our family. We are a family. You don't need to be like this in the future."
Gu Xiangbei also reached out and gently tapped Gu Zhen's forehead, telling him not to do that again next time.
Gu Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, a shy and somewhat silly smile appearing on his face.
Because of this, no one in the Gu family actually slept much during the lunch break that day.
Gu Jinhua was both happy and worried. She was happy because she had two ginseng plants at home, but she was worried because Gu Zhen had to take the medicine for three months in a row, and there would not be enough ginseng.
He Zhaodi and Gu Xiangdong didn't have any thoughts on the matter. They just said that Gu Zhen was a poor child and was lucky to have met Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Otherwise, I don’t know how long I can live.
It was a blessing that he met Jiang Xiaoqiao. If he hadn't, according to Gu Zhen's current physical condition, he could only live to the age of ten at most.
After lunch, Gu Weimin, Gu Xiangdong and He Zhaodi went to work, Gu Xiangbei and Jiang Xiaoqiao went up the mountain to look for ginseng, and Gu Jinhua stayed at home to take care of the children.
Before going up the mountain, Gu Xiangbei and Jiang Xiaoqiao turned and went to the health center to find Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou looks quite old, but I didn’t expect that he still has good physical strength. He walked a long way up the mountain without feeling out of breath or tired.
Jiang Xiaoqiao gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "Mr. Zhou, your physical fitness is not inferior to that of young men."
The corners of Mr. Zhou's lips curled up high, but he said modestly: "It's not bad, it's not bad, but it's still not as good as you young people."
With Gu Xiangbei around, Jiang Xiaoqiao and Zhou Lao walked a little deeper and were almost approaching the inner area.
But most of the herbs on the periphery are ordinary herbs, and it is impossible to pick good herbs like ginseng.
Zhou Laodao: "If you don't go deep into the mountains to collect herbs, how can you possibly collect good herbs?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao nodded in agreement and said, "Since ancient times, herbalists have found good herbs on cliffs. Let's go north and walk a little further in."
With Gu Xiangbei accompanying her to collect herbs, and given his alertness, Jiang Xiaoqiao would never be able to take the opportunity to exchange the ginseng from the system mall.
The most appropriate way is to collect wild ginseng first, and then mix it with the cultivatable ginseng produced by the system mall during the cultivation process.
The medicinal herbs that Gu Weimin and Mr. Zhou brought out had all been processed, and Jiang Xiaoqiao had no chance to tamper with them.
Gu Xiangbei looked at the two of them, then looked at the figure in the dark corner, nodded, and continued to lead the way.
After entering the inner area, Jiang Xiaoqiao could clearly feel that the surrounding environment had changed.
It seems that the closer you get, the closer you can get to the mountain and feel its breath.
Mr. Zhou took this opportunity to collect many medicinal herbs that are usually not seen outside.
Several precious medicinal herbs were collected, but there was still no trace of wild ginseng.
Jiang Xiaoqiao was feeling a little anxious. At this moment, 5200 came online.
[Host, I have a solution! I can plant the ginseng without any of you noticing, and then tell you the location. You just need to go dig it!]
[5200, great! If you can do this, why did you wait until now to tell me?]
5200 laughed twice, and Jiang Xiaoqiao asked helplessly in his mind while checking the surrounding environment.
[Tell me, how many heartbeats are needed? ]
【whee! 】
[I just remembered this. If you want to do this, host, you have to give me two hundred heartbeat points. One hundred is for me to buy ginseng for you, and one hundred is for me to plant the ginseng in the soil.]
[Oh, yes, host, you still have to pay for the ginseng.]
"Got it. Two hundred is two hundred. Plant two ginseng plants together for me."
By then, one plant will be used as medicine and the other will be cultivated.
[Okay, host.]
In less than three seconds, Jiang Xiaoqiao heard the sound of the heart rate being deducted.
[Host, host, everything is ready. It's just behind the bushes five meters to your right.]
[Okay, thanks.]
5200 reported the specific location, but Jiang Xiaoqiao did not go there immediately. Instead, he went to dig up a salt bran plant he had just seen.
Gu Xiangbei said: "I'll do it."
Seeing his eagerness, Old Zhou said, "Xiao Qiao, let him work. Once he learns, let him go up the mountain to collect herbs."
Gu Xiangbei said: "Okay, I will go up the mountain to collect herbs from now on."
There was no falsehood in what he said; he meant it sincerely.
There are many dangers in the deep mountains, and he is worried about either Jiang Xiaoqiao or Zhou Lao going up the mountain.
While Mr. Zhou was instructing Gu Xiangbei to dig herbs, Jiang Xiaoqiao walked forward.
After a moment, she exclaimed: "Mr. Zhou, Xiangbei, come quickly! I found ginseng!"
After hearing what Jiang Xiaoqiao said, Zhou Lao and Gu Xiangbei decisively left the salt bran behind and stepped forward.
At first glance, it turned out to be ginseng, and two ginseng plants at that!
"This is strange. Don't ginseng usually grow alone? Or is there only one plant within a ten-mile radius? Why are these two ginsengs right next to each other?"
After hearing what Mr. Zhou said, Jiang Xiaoqiao felt a little guilty.
Gu Xiangbei said: "Isn't it a good thing to have two?"
Gu Xiangbei didn’t understand pharmacology or the growth habits of medicinal herbs, but he knew that two ginseng plants were better than one!
After all, Gu Zhen has to take medicine for a long time, so of course the more the better.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Maybe there's something special about these two ginsengs. I can try to grow them when I get back."
There was a small piece of land in the backyard of the Gu family, near her and Gu Xiangbei's room, which was not planted with vegetables.
Now we can start making arrangements and plant ginseng!
When Mr. Zhou heard that Jiang Xiaoqiao wanted to grow ginseng, he was a little shocked and asked doubtfully: "Can it work?"
Gu Xiangbei believed whatever Jiang Xiaoqiao said, so he said, "Okay, let's try it."
At worst, he could go into the mountains alone next time and walk deeper, and he would definitely be able to find two or three more ginseng plants.
Jiang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Well, let's give it a try. If we can grow it, Gu Zhen won't have to worry about medicine anymore."
In fact, there are methods to grow ginseng in later generations, but it takes three to four months to grow.
But Jiang Xiaoqiao can use some tricks to make the ginseng mature within a month.
In this way, there is no need to worry about ginseng in the next two months, and ginseng can be used to make tonic pills and cook medicinal meals to nourish Gu Zhen and his family.
Mr. Zhou carefully dug out the two ginseng plants, wrapped them in cloth and handed them to Jiang Xiaoqiao.
