Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 20 Selling Ginseng

With the discovery of yam, Jing Yi began to pay attention to the plants along the way.Soon she found a clump of wild vegetables that looked like rapeseed by a small stream. She held the wild vegetables and used her powers to learn that the wild vegetables were not poisonous and could be eaten.

Jingyi was very happy to find a new vegetable. She used her ability to make the wild rapeseed continue to grow. Soon the rapeseed grew moss, and then many small flower buds grew on the branches of the moss, and then blossomed. Golden yellow flowers.

Jing Yi looked at this piece of golden rapeseed flowers and was very happy.She continued to use her abilities, and soon the flowers withered and produced seeds.Then Jing Yi put away all the rapeseed.

Jing Yi thinks she can grow some rapeseed as vegetables this year.Next year she can grow some rapeseed flowers and raise some bees.At that time, honey can be harvested, and rapeseed can be harvested for oil.

Many foods in this era have not been discovered, such as peppers, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. These foods may not have been discovered, or they may not have been introduced from foreign countries, but she has not seen them yet. these things.Be more careful in the future.

For example, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are high-yield crops that can greatly improve people's lives.

Most of the vegetables on the dining table of ordinary people in this era are wild vegetables, and only a few are artificially grown vegetables.For example, garlic, coriander, and cucumber were introduced from foreign countries not many years ago.But it also enriches people's dining table.

Jing Yi put away the rapeseed and continued to move forward. Suddenly, there was a noise in front of him, and a pheasant flew up. Seeing this, Jing Yi opened his bow and shot an arrow, and shot down the pheasant precisely.She picked up the pheasant and saw that it was quite fat, and put it in the quilt basket behind her.

She walked for a while and put down the basket to look around, then took out the small ginseng that she bought from the county medical center yesterday.

She dug a hole in the ground, buried the small ginseng in the soil, and then began to use the wood-type ability. The small ginseng buried in the soil sprouted and grew branches and leaves, and then the branches and leaves of ginseng grew rapidly, and soon the branches and leaves Small flowers bloomed in the middle and finally produced small red fruits.This is the ginseng seed.

Jing Yi collected ginseng seeds and planted them in the soil, and then continued to use the ability, and a ginseng seedling grew in the ground.Driven by Jingyi's ability, ginseng has blossomed and bear fruit many times.There are several plants that are equivalent to hundreds of years old.

Jing Yi finally harvested a lot of ginseng seeds for later use, and then she dug out the largest ginseng plant.According to visual estimation, this ginseng plant is equivalent to 500-year-old ginseng. Selling this ginseng can solve her economic crisis.

Jing Yi dug out several other big ginseng plants, and left the other small seedlings in the ground to let them continue to grow.

This region belongs to the temperate zone, and ginseng can also grow, but it is not as good as the northeast region.

Jing Yi wrapped the ginseng in cloth and put it in the quilt basket and continued walking.Soon she met another rabbit, which also became her prey.

Jing Yi also found a lot of herbs, she picked some good ones, picked some, and then processed it when she went back to use it.

Today, she mainly comes to the mountains to grow ginseng and gather herbs, and hunting is by the way.She also discovered yam and rapeseed, and the harvest was not small.

While walking back, Jing Yi hunted another pheasant, and she was very satisfied with today's harvest.

Walking to the place where the yams grew, Jing Yi dug a lot of yams and put them in the basket on his back, and walked back with the things on his back.At the door of the house, she first took out the ginseng wrapped in a soft cloth, hugged it in her arms, and then knocked on the door.

Qiao Hong opened the gate and quickly took the carrying basket on his young master's back, "Young master, let me follow you when you go into the mountains, and I can carry the basket for you too."

Jing Yi said: "Let's talk about it after you have learned kung fu, otherwise I will have to protect you when I meet wild animals in the mountains."

Qiao Hong also knew that his following him into the mountain was also a drag on the young master, so he made up his mind to learn kung fu hard, "Young master, don't worry, I will definitely learn kung fu hard and try to protect the young master as soon as possible."

Jing Yi pointed to the pheasant in the basket and said, "Go and pick up a pheasant. For lunch, let's make chicken stewed with mushrooms."

Qiao Hong was overjoyed when he heard that, "Hey, I'll clean it up right away."

Qiao Hong went to clean up the pheasants, and Jing Yi carried the ginseng into the main house's mother's room.

Seeing her daughter came back, Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Yan, did you encounter any danger when you entered the mountain?"

Jing Yi said: "Mother, you still don't know what I'm capable of. What do you think I got back?"

Speaking of which, Jing Yi put the cloth bag on the table, opened it, and inside was a large ginseng and several smaller ginseng.

Mrs. Liu was shocked when she saw it, "So many ginseng? This big one must be hundreds of years old. Did you find it from the mountains?"

Jing Yi said: "I bought a small ginseng in the county before, which is the big one now. The other ginsengs are all descendants of it."

As soon as Liu heard this, she thought of her daughter's miraculous ability, "Mother knows your ability, but you will use it less in the future. What if you are not healthy. We can live a peaceful life with simple food and drink."

Jing Yi nodded and said: "Mother, I understand what you mean. After I sell this ginseng, we can buy it with tens of acres of land and have a stable income, and living expenses will be no problem. "

Mrs. Liu said: "Such a large ginseng is very precious, and it costs several thousand taels of silver. Don't be deceived by others when you sell it."

At noon, Jing Yi made stewed chicken with mushrooms. He bought a lot of seasonings in the county before, but this time the taste of the dish was much better.Jing Yi shared some with Qiao Hong and his sister, which moved them very much.

They can eat the same food as the master's family every day, and it is still such a delicious meal. They have fallen into the nest of happiness.

After breakfast the next day, Jing Yi went to the county seat alone with a basket on her back and ginseng.On the way, she went into the woods and changed her clothes, also to reduce some troubles.

When she arrived at the county seat, she went to the medical center first, walked to the counter and said, "Little brother, is your shopkeeper there? I have good medicinal materials for sale."

The guy at the counter glanced at Jing Yi, "Do you have any medicinal materials to buy?"

Jing Yi put the cloth bag wrapped in ginseng on the counter, and opened a corner to reveal some ginseng whiskers.

The guy opened his eyes wide and said immediately, "Wait a minute, I'll call the shopkeeper."

Soon the boy ran back.Not long after, I followed a middle-aged man, who should belong to the shopkeeper.

The clerk came over and said, "My lord, this is our shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang said: "Young master wants to buy medicinal materials, please follow me to the back."

Jing Yi followed shopkeeper Wang to the back.Shopkeeper Wang was pleasantly surprised when he saw Jingyi's ginseng.During this time, someone asked them to find ginseng with a high age, and this ginseng came at the right time.

Because shopkeeper Wang wanted to buy it wholeheartedly, after bargaining, the deal was finally settled at 5000 taels of silver.Jing Yi asked for some silver coins, and for the rest she asked for bank notes, so it was convenient to carry them.
