Chapter 46 Weeds
When entering the door, Huaying happened to run into shopkeeper Sun who was counting the goods in the pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Sun stood next to a few old farmers with medicine bags on their backs. Seeing his bargaining appearance, he seemed to be negotiating with these old farmers to buy medicinal materials.

This scene aroused Huaying's curiosity. At a glance, she saw that the old farmers were carrying freshly picked medicinal herbs instead of dried medicinal herbs. They were obviously picked from the nearby mountains and brought to the city. Look for shops selling them here.

"No, no, no, this herb is all wet, so how can it be calculated according to the price after drying. Moreover, there are still mud on the roots of these plants. I think it can be a penny a catty at most. If it is too little, go to another place. Let's sell it somewhere."

Shopkeeper Sun is usually in the business of medicinal materials, but today is a good time, just in time for the Chinese New Year, and unexpectedly met a few old farmers who went to the city to sell their goods for money. Normally, he would ignore them. Seeing these people are pitiful now. He also agreed to accept it.

However, the price must not be high, who made these wet herbs, at least half of the weight after drying, or even more.The few boxes of medicinal herbs in front of him probably won't have much weight after drying.

"Shopkeeper, can you add some more money? These are all good things. We picked them out from the cracks of the cliff bit by bit. The place is so high that people who go into the mountains to collect herbs don't want to buy it." Go, hang it on the cliff with a rope by the rest of us, and finally get it, it can't be cheap."

Although these old farmers couldn't name the medicinal herbs, they all knew that the things growing on the cliff were quite valuable. Seeing that the price given by shopkeeper Sun was too low, they were all unhappy.

Shopkeeper Sun was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, pointed at Yaolou and said, "Where did you get the good stuff? It's just some weeds, and these few eagle grasses are worth a little money. I don't want to give the rest to me."

"Shopkeeper, take a closer look. Isn't this a good thing? It looks so spiritual. We have never seen such a strange grass in our decades of crops. This must be very valuable."

The leading old farmer grabbed a green unknown herb in Yaolou, and directly argued with Shopkeeper Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun just glanced at it, and immediately said with disdain: "Isn't this just a weed! No matter how good-looking it is, what's the use of it, and you can't eat it!"

"Weed? Isn't it really a herb?"

"Hey, can my shopkeeper lie to you for such a trivial matter? If it's a weed, it's a weed. Anyway, I've never seen any medicine shop that collects this kind of weed in my life. If you don't believe me, you can go to another place. Don't delay the little one." store business."

Shopkeeper Sun vowed.

At this moment, the old farmer was not very confident. He lowered his head and looked at it with cloudy eyes for a long time, and finally said in a low voice, "That's not only a penny a catty, at least two cents."

"One and a half cents at most. If you want, you can sell it. If you don't, you can leave quickly." Shopkeeper Sun was very impatient, and immediately prepared to chase away customers.

"Sell it, sell it, you don't look like a profiteer, we just sell it to you."

The two sides finally reached an agreement, and weighed several boxes of medicinal herbs, and it was exactly seven catties, which was one to two fifty cents in silver.

Shopkeeper Sun was kind and kind, seeing some old farmers was not easy, so he simply gave one tael and one silver, and those old farmers happily left.

More than one tael of silver is enough to cover the expenses of a family in their village for several months.

These old farmers passed by Huaying, Huaying stopped them and asked softly, "Old man, where did you come from?"

"Girl, we are from Niutoushan, not far from this city."

"Thank you Niutoushan, let's walk slowly on the road."

Secretly remembering this place in her heart, Huaying walked towards the shopkeeper Sun after seeing off a few people.

At this time, shopkeeper Sun also saw Huaying who came back, and was about to say hello, but Huaying squatted next to the pile of fresh herbs lying on the ground, and pointed to a green herb among them with a curious expression on her face. asked:

"Shopkeeper Sun, is this really a weed? It looks quite unusual."

"Girl, you don't know. No matter how unique this weed grows, it has no medicinal value. It's just a useless weed without a decent name. I don't know where those old farmers found it. Yes, Sun has not seen this kind of grass for many years."

"That's right."

Huaying carefully looked at this weed, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Intuition told her that this weed is definitely a good thing, and it is a good food that can be eaten.Putting it under the nose and smelling it, there is also a special aroma, which is refreshing.

"Shopkeeper Sun, since it's a weed, why don't you give it to me?" After a while, Huaying stood up, smiling at Shopkeeper Sun, and suggested.

"This"

Shopkeeper Sun obviously didn't expect that the other party had been working on it for such a trivial matter for a long time, and without any reason, he immediately made a decision and said:

"Since the girl likes it, what's the harm in giving all the herbs to the girl?"

"I don't need anything else, I just need these few weeds." Huaying thanked her, then knelt down and picked out the remaining weeds from the pile of herbs.

Counting carefully, there are five plants, and the rhizomes of each wild grass are intact, and there is still some moist soil on it.

Now planted, survival should not be a problem.

After bidding farewell to shopkeeper Sun, Huaying returned to her room, closed the doors and windows, and then rushed into Yupei's space.

At this time, the land in the jade pendant space is quite different from before.

The red fruit trees were gone, and the vegetable garden had been planed clean. Only dozens of Qingzhi leaves and some other green leafy plants were sparsely planted in the remaining medicine garden.

There are only leaves on the ground of yellow ginseng, and other parts are buried in the ground. The growth methods are different, so the growth speed is also different.

Compared to before, this half-acre of land is now pitifully desolate.It used to be colorful, with fruits and vegetables, how beautiful it was. Every time I came in, I could smell the fruity aroma.But now, in addition to herbs, they are herbs, which is very monotonous.

There is no way to do this, the land is not fertile enough, and the things that can be planted can only be reduced again and again.As far as this is concerned, Huaying still dare not grow more varieties. Both yellow ginseng and Qingzhi leaves are kept at a very low level, even if they are taken for daily practice, they are very reluctant.

As long as the planting quantity is increased, the growth rate of the herbs will slow down, and the maturity cycle will also be lengthened, which is very annoying.

"Ugh."

Every time she came in, Huaying would stare blankly at the land and worry about it. Because of this, her hair is now quite grey.

However, worrying is nothing but worrying, she has to continue to do what she should do, and she still hopes to discover something new so that her cultivation realm can break through to the fourth floor smoothly.

"Weeds, weeds, I hope you can bring me some surprises."

Digging, digging, planting, filling.

After a set of operations, the five weeds were safely planted in the ground, and then it was time to wait for growth.With the current fertility of the land, I am afraid that there will be no movement in a short time.
