After everyone was seated in the main hall, Xu Yicheng teased Qibao with a smile, "Daughter, did you find something delicious in the mountains and bring it back for your father?"
Qibao smiled and shook his head, then reached into his inner garment and took out the ginseng that was placed close to his body! Everyone was stunned at first, not knowing what this doll-like thing was, and they all looked confused.
At this time, the second uncle looked incredulous and stammered, "This, this, is it ginseng??" The second uncle was the smartest of the three brothers, so he worked in the town before getting married. There was a drug store next to his job. Once, the drug store received a wild ginseng. The owner of the drug store was so excited that he was incoherent. When many people in the town heard about this, they went to join in the fun. Xu Yihua took advantage of the fact that the host was away and he was close by, so he was curious to see what the precious ginseng looked like, so he thought that what Qibao brought back should be ginseng.
"What! What did you say, second brother? Is this really ginseng?" Xu Dashan was shocked! The other people in the family were also stunned. Ginseng is a precious thing. It is said that as long as there is a breath of air, it can save a person. They, the farmers, could not imagine that this thing would appear in their own home one day.
"Yes, Dad, I've seen this ginseng in the medicine shop next door to where I work. The one in Qibao's hand looks bigger than any I've seen, and it's older." Xu Yihua breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang heard her second son say this, "The seven treasures he brought back are worth a lot of money, right?"
"Mom, the ginseng I saw at the medicine shop was eighty years old, and the owner said it was sold for three hundred taels. The one Qibao brought back is definitely more than eighty years old."
The whole family gasped when they heard him say that! Three hundred taels? They wanted to spend every penny carefully. After all the hard work and food rations, they only saved less than ten taels. They could never earn that much money in their lifetime.
Xu Dashan also breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down a little, and turned to look at Qibao, "Baoer, where did you dig this ginseng?" When everyone heard the old man ask this, they all looked at Qibao.
"Grandpa, I saw it where I caught pheasants."
"Then how do you know it's ginseng? How do you know it's a valuable treasure?" Xu Dashan asked again. He was already old, but this was the first time he'd seen ginseng. Qibao was only five years old and had never even been to town. How could he recognize ginseng?
"Master told me," Qibao said, blinking her eyes. She wanted to give a source for the treasure in the space so she could take it out later.
"Master? What master?" Everyone looked at Qibao with confusion.
"It's the master in my dream. The master is so good to me. When I was injured and unconscious, the master appeared in my dream. The master was a man wearing white clothes and had a long white beard. He flew in the sky with Qibao. The master's place was very beautiful, like a fairyland. The master taught me a lot of things I didn't know before, and also taught me to recognize words. There are also many delicious foods." Qibao pretended to lick his lips while speaking.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other again, "Qibao, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. My master has some beautiful gems, which he gave to me. I can get them anytime I want. I didn't dare to tell you when I woke up, for fear that you would mistake me for a monster." After saying this, his big eyes were filled with mist.
"Whoever says that my Qibao is a monster, I will tear his mouth apart!" Wang said gritting her teeth.
