Chapter 27 Mom, you are so awesome.
After hearing this, the two little guys breathed a sigh of relief.
But I am still absent-minded.
Only Sanbao didn't think as much as his two brothers. He sat on Jiang Lianzhu's shoulder, sucking his fingers and looking at the man selling candied haws with envy.
Without saying a word, Jiang Lianzhu bought a string of candied haws for each of the three children.
First go to the clinic to buy herbs, and then buy some medicinal materials such as Fritillaria cirrhosa and Momordica grosvenori to make autumn pear paste.
When I arrived at the clinic, the same young man from last time was busy there.
Jiang Lianzhu explained her purpose.
When the young man saw that she was carrying three children on her shoulders and carrying her herbs, he agreed to buy her herbs without saying a word.
"Take out the herbs and let me see what you have. Let me make it clear first, not everything can be sold for money. If I take in too much, the shopkeeper will deduct my money."
Jiang Lianzhu first took out the common honeysuckle, atractylodes, bupleurum, asarum, etc.
The young man was surprised and said, "Not bad, not bad, these are all. The young lady knows quite a lot of medicinal herbs."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "It's just so-so."
Dabao was watching coldly from the side without saying much, but Erbao was amazed and kept praising, "Mom, you are so amazing."
Sanbao held her candied haws and looked around. Her big grape-like eyes were full of curiosity about the different environment outside.
Jiang Lianzhu collected many kinds of medicinal herbs, but the quantity was not large. The boy calculated a total of more than 30 cents for her.
Jiang Lianzhu took out the centipedes that Erbao had caught in the past two days and asked, "Do you still want to collect centipedes?"
"Yes, but it was urgent a few days ago, but now it's not urgent. I can buy two pieces for a penny."
A dozen centipedes sold for seven cents.
Jiang Lianzhu handed Erbao seven coins and said, "Here, take it. Mother has money now, so we don't need these coins to supplement the family expenses."
Erbao thought so too. His mother could easily turn the wild pears that no one ate in the mountains into autumn pear paste and sell it for silver, so his few cents wouldn't be a big deal.
I accepted it happily.
"Thank you, Mom." He was overjoyed and delighted.
When Dabao saw this, he stood like a little adult, with his hands behind his back, and glared at Erbao with contempt.
Erbao immediately restrained his smile.
If he laughs any longer, his front teeth will almost fall out.
Finally, Jiang Lianzhu took out her most valuable treasure, a century-old ginseng.
"Young Master, is your master here? I have an old ginseng. Can you help me see how old it is? How much is it worth?"
This ginseng does not necessarily have to be sold to this clinic. After all, the spending power in the town is limited.
Most of them are from poor families, and not many of them can afford tonic medicinal herbs.
If the price offered by the clinic is not high, she will go to the county town to sell it when she has time.
Anyway, there is no rush to sell it for money.
The friend's eyes lit up when he saw the intact wild ginseng. "My master is out seeing patients and is not in the clinic. I can judge this ginseng without his help. You are really lucky, young lady. This ginseng should be a hundred or eighty years old. If you want to sell it, just wait here for my master to come back and give you an estimate. It's expensive, so I dare not make an offer."
Jiang Lianzhu is considering it.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the clinic.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
It was the old doctor from the clinic who came back, with white beard, long eyebrows and mustache.
With him was a tall young man in a green shirt, with a heroic look between his brows, a strong body, and a sense of tension. It was obvious that he was a person who had practiced martial arts for a long time.
Jiang Lianzhu secretly wondered, are there other people like this in this small town?
The two talked as they walked.
"Your master is seriously injured and has been poisoned. After so long, even the best body would be weakened. It would be best if he could take some tonic medicine. I don't have anything tonic in my shop. If it's convenient for you, please go to the county town and buy some wild ginseng that is over a hundred years old or something like that. Give him lozenges for morning and night..."
"Okay, thank you, doctor. Please prescribe me some other medicine first. I'll go back and have someone boil it. I'll rush to the county town to buy wild ginseng now."
…
When the young man heard this, he said, "Master, this young lady just dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng and wants to sell it..."
The old doctor and Xiang Zuo were both stunned and hurried over.
"This hundred-year-old ginseng is not something you can dig up easily. You must have made a mistake..." The old doctor didn't believe it.
The young man quickly handed the wild ginseng to the old doctor.
The old doctor took it and flipped through it, and was pleasantly surprised. "It really is, a century-old ingredient. Young lady, did your family dig this ginseng? Where did you dig it?"
Erbao squinted his eyes, "Then it must have been dug by my mother! As for where it was dug, why do you have to ask so much? We can't tell outsiders. Next time there's wild ginseng, it'll still be from my mother."
The old doctor laughed. "You kid! Very good. You dug this wild ginseng with skill. It's intact. Not bad. Mr. Xiang, it looks like you don't need to go to the county town. This wild ginseng will do."
Jiang Lianzhu felt that she was very lucky today. If there was a rich buyer, she could sell it as long as the price was reasonable.
"Doctor, how much silver can this ginseng of mine be sold for? We, my mother, depend on this ginseng for our livelihood." Seeing that this Mr. Xiang must be a wealthy man with plenty of money, she had to speak in a pitiful way and ask the old doctor to quote them a higher price.
After all, she has three cubs to raise, so face and other things should be put second.
The old doctor said, "This ginseng you have is of very good quality. Although it is not a rare species, it can still be sold for fifty taels of silver."
Fifty taels!
Dabao, Erbao and the others were all shocked.
Dabao is a boy with a blank expression and a dark heart. He was surprised inside, but it didn't show on his face.
Erbao was different. His eyes were wide open and he gently tugged at Jiang Lianzhu's clothes.
It's exciting.
Fifty taels! They had never seen or even heard of such a large amount of silver.
Such a huge amount of silver is simply a huge sum of money dropped from the sky.
A poor family can marry ten wives.
They often went into that wild mountain, but how come they couldn't find such valuable medicinal herbs? Of course, they didn't even recognize the medicinal herbs. Even if the ginseng was placed in front of them, they wouldn't recognize it.
Mother is still the best!
As for Jiang Lianzhu, she was very satisfied with the fifty taels.
But it depends on whether the other party wants it or not?
So, she didn't speak.
Looking to the left, I saw Jiang Lianzhu as steady as a rock, and then I looked at the three cubs of different sizes behind her. I felt that fifty taels was still not enough.
A century-old ginseng like this cannot be bought in the capital without a hundred taels of silver.
"Young lady, I'll give you sixty taels. Can you sell it to me?"
Jiang Lianzhu... Eh? She's a wealthy woman indeed!
"I'm so sorry! The doctor said it's only worth fifty taels, and you're offering sixty. You have a patient at home, so doesn't that make me look like I'm taking advantage of the situation? I'm not that kind of person! Although it wasn't easy for me to dig it up, and I've only dug up one like it in my lifetime, I'm not someone who goes against his conscience. Well, forget it. Since you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you for sixty taels! Let me make it clear first, I don't sell on credit! Once the payment is settled, there's no refund or exchange..."
