Chapter 23 Stunned
Wu maintained a skeptical attitude: "Baby, is everything you said true?"

After all, she is her own daughter, how can she not know her sweet baby, how can she know what kind of ginseng, she must have picked up a weed and came back.

Xu Lingyue said: "Mother, let's go into the room and talk."

At this time, Mrs. Liu was cooking, and Mrs. Zhu was still sulking because of Xu Xiaoyao's incident, and she didn't know what she was doing in her own room.

The men of the Xu family are resting.

After entering the room, Xu Lingyue called out to them respectively: "Father, Big Brother, Third Brother, I'm back."

Old man Xu took a puff of his cigarette pipe, exhaled turbid air, and said kindly, "Ah Yue is back."

Tired all morning, the two brothers were lying on the recliner with their eyes closed, and they didn't react much after hearing Xu Lingyue's voice. The eldest opened his eyes, glanced at the person in front of him, and then closed them again.

Xu Lingyue told the people on the side: "A Bao, go and close the door."

After Xu Anbao went to close the door, old man Xu looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Ah Yue, what is this?"

Xu Lingyue said mysteriously: "Father, just wait, I will show you a treasure."

The two brothers at the side also heard it, and quickly opened their eyes and sat up, but after thinking about it, the baby that Xu Lingyue was talking about probably wasn't a good thing, so they lay down again.

Old man Xu obviously didn't believe it either, but in order to save face for his daughter, he still asked expectantly, "What baby?"

Although Mrs. Wu at the side didn't believe that she could really bring back ginseng, she showed her daughter face and said proudly, "Old man, just wait and see."

Afterwards, everyone saw Xu Lingyue take out something from the back basket, and upon closer inspection, it was a handkerchief wrapped in something.

Xu Lingyue slowly peeled off the veil, handed it to the old man Xu, and asked with some pride: "Father, take a look, is this a treasure?"

The old man Xu is getting old, his eyes are a bit cloudy at this time, he took the thing, looked carefully, after a long time, he suddenly became excited, stared at the thing with wide eyes, and said with a shocked expression: "This, is it Is it ginseng?"

The old man had been an apprentice in a pharmacy for a while when he was young, and he could recognize medicinal materials as long as they were not particularly rare.

Ben still closed his eyes and meditated, the two brothers sat up in an instant, and asked dumbfounded: "What, ginseng?"

Hearing what Old Man Xu said, Mrs. Wu was a little unbelievable, and asked in surprise: "Old man, is this really ginseng?"

Why did she really let her cute baby dig ginseng?
But why does this ginseng look so much like a weed root? If they hadn't said it, the Wu family might have regarded it as a weed.

Oh, my dear, but she heard that this ginseng is alive and dead, if it is sold, how much money will it be worth.

Mrs. Wu gasped, but still couldn't believe that this ginseng was dug up by her cute baby.

The old man answered everyone's questions seriously: "It is indeed ginseng."

After getting an affirmative answer, the youngest looked at Xu Lingyue expectantly, and asked eagerly, "Ah Yue, where did you dig it? Take the third brother to have a look, maybe we can meet again."

Before Xu Lingyue could reply, Mrs. Wu gave him a glaring face first, and scolded: "You boy, this is a treasure, not a weed root. How can you say that you will encounter it when you meet it."

"I'm not trying to try my luck, maybe I'll meet you if I'm lucky." Xu Qitian retorted with his face turning blue and turning pale.

Xu Lingyue said helplessly: "Third Brother, I've seen all the places around, and only this one."

This ginseng is not a rotten street existence, and her third brother is too natural. To put it bluntly, he doesn't even know ginseng, and he wants to dig it in delusional way.

Even she hesitated for a long time at that time, but luckily she didn't miss it.

But why don't they doubt how they know ginseng?Xu Lingyue suddenly felt a little strange.

However, what she didn't know was that the original owner was forced by the old man Xu to learn medical knowledge for a period of time when he was a child. Of course, recognizing herbs was the first step, but later the original owner couldn't bear the hardship, and the couple spoiled her again, so they finally gave up. up.

Xu Hongfu said with some rejoicing: "It's thanks to Dad who taught Ah Yue to recognize medicinal materials when he was a child."

At that time, the old man Xu was so focused on getting a doctor out of the children in the family to realize his dream, but unfortunately none of the children had this talent, and they couldn't even distinguish the most common medicinal materials. Until Xu Lingyue was born, he I finally saw hope, because this child is obviously very talented in this area, but who knows that she can't bear this hardship.

The old man Xu sighed with some pity: "It seems that Ah Yue is indeed extremely talented in this area."

Now that he is old, he has put it down, but sometimes he still sighs that it would be great if he could be more ruthless.

Hearing what the two said, Xu Lingyue retrieved from the original owner's memory the fragment of recognizing medicinal herbs when she was a child.

I finally understood why everyone didn't suspect why she knew ginseng.

Afraid that everyone would continue the discussion, if it comes to asking her to learn, she will not be crazy, she does not have the talent of the original owner, Xu Lingyue quickly changed the subject: "Father, how much do you think this ginseng is worth?"

Sure enough, the next moment, old man Xu stared at the ginseng and began to meditate, probably calculating the value of this ginseng.

Xu Lingyue has no idea about these, after all, she has only seen them in novels, and the setting of each novel is different, so she has seen many prices.

Moreover, the original book of this book did not mention any fragments about ginseng.

The old man Xu stroked his beard, and his eyes fell into memories: "More than 40 years ago, I once received a ginseng in the medicine shop. At that time, I gave the man five hundred taels of silver, which is about 300 years old."

After a pause, the old man Xu sighed: "At that time, there were years of wars, and the people suffered unspeakably. I also went to a pharmacy as an apprentice in order to beg for food. The next day, a man dressed in gold and expensive came to sell it. Ginseng, it is said that the family is in urgent need of money, compared to this ginseng, it is much more."

As soon as this was mentioned, Wu Shi recalled the time when he met old man Xu when he was young. Now that he thinks about it, so many years have passed, how time flies.

The old man Xu made a gesture, and then said seriously: "I don't dare to say more, but at least it's worth this amount."

The third child gasped, stunned, and asked somewhat stammeringly, "One, 100 taels?" Even after he finished speaking, his mouth was still slightly open.

After hearing what the third child said, everyone swallowed immediately, 100 taels, that's not a small amount.

Although the common people have some spare money in their hands nowadays, the average family only spends a dozen or so taels of silver at most throughout the year. If they save this 100 taels, it will be enough for them to spend ten years!
