Chapter 25 Two ginseng

   After all, mother and child are connected. No matter how calm Xu Shiyan said, Zhou Guilan knew that things were not that simple.

   Thinking of her son meeting a black blind man on the mountain, and not knowing how many dangers he went through to save his life and get these things back, Zhou Guilan couldn't help crying.

   "San'er, don't go into the mountains in the future, it's too dangerous and scary."

  As a mother, I only hope that my son is safe and sound.

   No matter how much money you earn, if something happens to someone, you will not be able to survive this day.

  When Xu Shiyan saw his mother like this, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "Mom, I will pay attention to it in the future, don't worry."

   This time it was indeed enough. If it hadn't been for running to the edge of Lazi, if it hadn't been for that pine tree, Xu Shiyan probably would have confessed.

  Of course, without the blind man chasing after him, if the blind man hadn't happened to land on the platform, he wouldn't have been able to meet those wild ginseng trees.

  Maybe this is what people say, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune later."

  Anyway, not only did he come back with all his beard and tail, but he also gained a lot. Even if he experienced a little danger, it was worth it.

  Of course, he has to pay attention in the future, he can’t go into the mountains empty-handed, it’s better to get a gun, even if it’s not semi-automatic, a stick will do.

  Zhou Guilan didn't know what her son was thinking. If she knew, it might not be as simple as kicking him.

  The son returned safely, and got his son's guarantee again, Zhou Guilan felt more at ease, and now seeing these things on the kang, she felt a little happy.

   "By the way, Mom, I also dug up two ginseng trees, look."

  Xu Shiyan knew that the brothers behind him were all waiting to see the stick, so he stopped hiding and took out two ginseng bags.

  The three big ones were pressed at the bottom of the rucksack, and they were covered tightly with torn clothes, so that they were not exposed at all.

  The ginseng bag was opened, revealing two human-shaped mallets inside, and the room suddenly gasped.

   These two ginseng trees are very beautiful in shape.

  Look at Lu first.

  The big one is bamboo reed, the stem scars have not grown flat after a long time, and there are ring-shaped protrusions at certain intervals, shaped like bamboo knots.

  The smaller one is horse-toothed reed, with obvious stem scars, alternately arranged sparsely and large, with pockets on the edges, shaped like horse teeth.

   Look at the body again, which is the taproot of ginseng.

  The body is exquisite and exquisite, the body and legs are well-proportioned, and the two legs are naturally separated. This is an obvious spiritual body.

  Then comes the bark, which is the outer skin of the root.

  The big tree has firm and delicate skin, yellowish-white and shiny. This is brocade skin. The skin of the small one is delicate, white and shiny, which is tender skin.

   There are also stripes, mainly referring to the ring-shaped horizontal stripes at the tip of the main root. The older the ginseng, the tighter the stripes.

  The last is the fibrous root, which is the root growing on the branch root, called the fibrous root. The tumor-like protrusions on the fibrous roots are called pearl bumps.

  The ginseng whiskers of these two ginseng trees are uniform in thickness, slender, clear and not messy, flexible but not brittle, like leather strips, with obvious pearl bumps on them, which are called pimp whiskers.

  In general, the two ginseng trees, one big and one small, are both top-grade in every respect, the difference is only in weight.

   "Old man, hurry to Jiagui's place, borrow a ginseng, and weigh these two ginseng trees." Xu Shixian couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly sent Xu Shixiang to borrow a ginseng.

  戥子 is the kind of small scale used by pharmacies to weigh medicines in the past.

  Ginseng is light in weight and cannot be accurately weighed with ordinary scales. There are no electronic scales in this year, so only a scorpion can be used.

  Wang Jiagui is a barefoot doctor in the village. He has a son in his family. That's why Xu Shixian sent Xu Shixiang to borrow it.

  Xu Shixiang couldn't hold his breath anymore, and ran to Wang's house in a hurry.

   It happened that Wang Jiagui didn't go out. When he heard that he was borrowing a stick to weigh the stick, Wang Jiagui was so trustworthy that he followed him.

  Wang Jiagui's eyes widened when he saw the two sticks at Xu's house, "Oh my god, why are these two ginseng trees so beautiful?"

  Xu Shiyan didn't let others do it, he carefully picked up the ginseng, put it on the scorpion and weighed it.

  The small ones cost one or two or three dollars, and the big ones weigh three or two and a half dollars. Xu Shiyan made a rough estimate in his mind.

   There is also bear gallbladder, which is a copper gallbladder, and it is not light in weight. If it is calculated, more than two thousand yuan is not lost.

  Not only Xu Shiyan knows it well, but other people can roughly figure it out in their hearts, one or two thousand yuan, who wouldn't be envious after seeing it?

   "Ahem, mom, why don't you let the third child and younger siblings come back to live?" Xu Shixian coughed twice and said.

   "Siblings are pregnant with children, it's not good to be pregnant, they can't live alone outside.

  It's better to move back, have a mother and Xiulin and the second sibling to take care of it, it's good for the third sibling and the children. "Xu Shixian found a perfect excuse.

   "Yes, yes, Mom, let Yingzi and the third child come back."

   Xue Xiulin, who had been watching the excitement in the outer room, couldn't help it anymore, stepped into the east room, and said with a smile on his face.

   "You see, I can't work in the field while taking care of Dabin, so it's convenient to take care of Yingzi along the way." Xue Xiulin was talking, but her eyes were fixed on the two ginseng trees.

   "Yes, sister-in-law is right, Yingzi is pregnant, so she can't give birth to confinement in someone else's house, so let them move back."

   Wei Mingrong reacted a step too late, annoyed, and hastily followed suit.

   "At the beginning, it was all just talking and talking. How can the family hold grudges? It's better to move back."

  Zhou Guilan is old, but she is not yet confused. She knows what her son and daughter-in-law are thinking.

  These few are also worried. When the youngest couple moved out, they all watched the fun with heart.

  The youngest couple moved away for such a long time, and they didn’t see the elder brother and sister-in-law who went to see if they needed help.

   Now that the third child is well-developed, a few of them rush to help talk, so is it the third child and his wife? That was clearly aimed at two ginseng plants and a bear bile.

   "San'er, what do you think?" Zhou Guilan looked at the third son, she couldn't decide this matter.

   "Mom, elder brother and second brother, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, thank you for your kindness." Xu Shiyan nodded towards those few and pulled out a smile.

   "But the two of us have separated, so there is no reason to come back."

   Really think he is stupid? If he nods his head and agrees to come back, then the ginseng and bear bile will become the family's, and everyone will have a share at that time.

  Why? He worked his life out in exchange for it. These people didn't do anything, so why should they divide it? dream.

   "Mom, I want to take Yingzi to Tonghua Hospital to have a look. This is the first time she has a child, so I'm not at ease."

   This is the most important thing. While the month is still young, go to the hospital for a checkup, maybe you can keep the baby.

   "Huh? Go to the hospital? You have to go to Tonghua? No need?" Zhou Guilan was stunned. How could this be about seeing a doctor?
