Chapter 344 A Century-Old Ginseng 3
"That's true."
Ma Xiulian nodded, closed her eyes, and continued sleeping.
Anyway, the truth can't be hidden, and the false can't be made true. Ginseng can't just grow legs and run away from the locked cabinet.
The next day, the first thing Ma Xiulian did upon opening her eyes was to quickly get out of bed and open the cabinet to see if the ginseng was still there.
She took out the cloth bag, opened it nervously, and immediately saw the ginseng inside.
It's not a dream!
He couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Old man, wake up! We weren't dreaming last night!"
"Yes!" Chen Dazhu responded calmly.
Hearing her grandparents' voices, Helian Jiao rubbed her eyes with her chubby little hands and called out in a soft, childlike voice, "Grandma~"
"My baby's awake!"
Ma Xiulian walked over with the ginseng, looked at her little granddaughter who still had a slightly confused look in her eyes, and unconsciously softened her voice, saying, "Look, this is a good thing that the monkey brought you last night."
"What good stuff is it?"
Helian Jiao blinked twice before she could see that her grandmother was holding a small ginseng root. A look of disgust immediately appeared on her rosy face.
This ginseng is only a little over a hundred years old, and its quality can only be considered average. It only has some effect when consumed by humans.
The next second, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately decided, "I want to give this to Gu Tingyun as a birthday present."
In the past, the little princess wouldn't have given such ginseng a second glance, but in this world where spiritual energy is scarce, it's considered a rare and precious item.
Most importantly, she knew that the Great Bad Dragon's family didn't have any ginseng.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian's eyes widened instantly, and she tentatively asked, "Sweetie, do you know what this is?"
Helian Jiao nodded and said in a childish voice, "I know, a little ginseng."
Little ginseng? !
Ma Xiulian choked on her saliva. Seeing her nonchalant attitude, she secretly marveled at her daughter's boldness. Indeed, immortals are different from mortals like them.
That makes sense. There are plenty of rare treasures in the sky. What are rare items in their eyes are just ordinary things that Guabao would give away casually.
But she was reluctant to part with it; it pained her to part with it!
This isn't a regular white radish; it's ginseng that can sell for a thousand yuan!
Helian Jiao could see that her grandmother was reluctant to part with the ginseng, so she said, "If Grandma likes it, then I won't give it to her. I'll give this ginseng to Grandma instead."
Anyway, compared to these things, the big bad dragon still prefers to sleep with her as his pillow.
The little princess pinched her soft little belly, thinking sadly.
Ma Xiulian paused for a moment, then looked at her innocent and naive face, her heart softened, and she instantly felt relieved: "Let's give it to Tingyun as a gift."
One shouldn't be too greedy. The whole Gu family buys food and clothes for their precious baby, which adds up to several hundred yuan a year.
They even take me to town to play from time to time. Who knows how much more I'll spend in the future? One ginseng wouldn't be enough to repay this favor.
Moreover, they love their baby like their own daughter; that kind of love alone is something no ginseng can match.
Chen Dazhu, who was standing to the side, did not object, but he was taking a deep drag on the mouthpiece of his pipe, a clear look of heartache on his dark face.
That's over a thousand yuan; giving it away like that would be painful for anyone.
"Don't tell anyone about this ginseng yet, my dear. We need to give Tingyun a surprise."
I'm typing, but I'm stuck. It's a bit painful to write, and the quality isn't great because I'm forcing it out word by word. Please understand, my little darlings. I'll update later.
