Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 45: Is it cheating?

The embarrassed Li Qingzhu was calling his father and sister to come down quickly at the foot of the overgrown slope. When the father and daughter saw this, they thought that this boy might have discovered something good.

So without further delay, Li Dashan used a knife to clear away the weeds and vines, and then walked down while protecting his daughter.

Before coming down, Li Xiao would never have imagined what she was about to see.

And when she stood firm at the bottom of the slope and looked up to see the large red and green field not far away, she just wanted to say to Li Qingzhu: Brother, are you cheating?
The red and green fields in front of her were one of her favorite fruits in China: dragon fruit!

A big piece, more yams than before!And it’s still a ripe fruit!
You know, dragon fruit blooms twelve to fifteen times a year, and its fruit production period is from April to November. This is a fruit that can be eaten from late spring to late autumn!
When I got closer, I saw that there were indeed a lot of rotten fruits on the ground. What a waste of natural resources!
Li Xiao wanted to just open one and eat it, but thinking about eating oranges before, she still suppressed her excitement, grinned, and called her father and brother to come and pick the fruits!
After picking them, Li Xiao discovered that [-]% of the dragon fruits had white hearts, and only about [-]% had red hearts.

Oh, ask her why she knows?Just look at the appearance of the fruit!

As a child who grew up in a rural area in Guangxi Province, she still knows how to distinguish dragon fruit with white heart and red heart.

Because the backpacks couldn't hold too much, the three of them just filled Li Dashan's backpack.

Li Qingzhu's basket was originally empty on Li Xiao's back, but now it was filled with pepper and some shorter yam sections.

Li Xiao's small basket only contained a few kilograms of mushrooms and bamboo fungus.

Li Dashan held a knife in one hand and a yam tied with vines in the other. He told Li Qingzhu to take care of his sister, and the three of them hurried home.

It was already dark when they got home, so the three of them returned home quietly, put down their things and ate first.

After the meal, Li Dashan and his wife talked about yam and red fruits. Of course, pepper was not left behind either. After all, there were still a lot of peppers waiting for them to pick!

But the peppers and yams were not in a hurry, but the red fruits had to be picked as soon as they were ripe, otherwise his daughter would be heartbroken again.

That's right, when Li Xiao was picking dragon fruits today, she kept talking about what a pity it was and what a waste of natural resources, which made Li Dashan happy.

Li Xiao didn't care when his father teased him. When it's time to count the money, just remember to praise me.

Li Xiao was anxious to know the value of dragon fruit, as well as the selling price of yam and pepper, so he wanted to go to the town to have a look the next day.

As for the matsutake mushrooms and bamboo fungus, not many were picked, and they were both good things. Li Xiao thought it was better to keep them for home consumption.

Everyone didn't object to selling things, but Li Yuan also raised a question, this fruit is not bad for people, right?

This is also the reason why Li Xiao didn't dare to eat dragon fruit in the mountains.Farmers are wary of new things they have never seen before. This is normal.

So Li Xiao decided to "waste" two red dragon fruits and give them to her chickens!

Oh, don’t ask her why she’s not afraid of poisoning the chicken, just ask her why she’s so scared even though she knows it’s not poisonous!

So the chickens in the chicken pen were extremely happy and ate the dragon fruit before Li Xiao!

Early the next morning, Li Xiao ran out of the chicken pen in the backyard early, and then happily called his parents: "Dad, Mom, look, after eating a few unicorn fruits, the chickens are all fine. Qilin It’s not poisonous!”

Li Xiao gave the dragon fruit a new name last night, Qilin Fruit.There is no way. In this era, the word "dragon" is not so casual. To save trouble, it might be better to change the name.

Li Xiao still doesn't know that because of her compromise, the dragon fruit had a different name, but it became popular in Dali because of the name of the auspicious beast.And Dapo Village, because of the "Gu Nian" of Li Dashan's family, has lived a life as prosperous as dragon fruit!

Of course, this is not mentioned for the time being.

Li Dashan and his wife were amused by their daughter's hurried appearance, and they hurriedly coaxed her to cut one off and try it out!
After all, only after you have tasted the fruit can you sell the fruit better, right?
After dinner, Li Dashan took Li Xiao into the city, while Li Qingzhu was left at home to help his mother with work.

According to Li Xiao's suggestion, they went to Jishi Hall first this time.

In China, Gui Province, where Li Xiao was born, doesn’t like adding pepper to the diet, but the city where she went to university is obsessed with pepper.

Her local classmates also gave her some popular science about pepper, and the key word of the popular science was: precious!

Therefore, for such a precious treasure that has medicinal value and can also be used to make incense, Li Xiao decided to go to the drug store to explore the market.

However, she did leave a pound or two behind, and she would ask around at the restaurant later, so that she would not panic if she walked multiple ways!
Jishitang is indeed a good medicine shop that can truly help the world. It was only late in the morning when they arrived, and there were already people coming and going in the shop.

The guy didn't have much impression of Li Dashan, but he had some impression of Li Xiao.

Looking at the basket on Li Dashan's back, he asked tentatively: "Are you two still selling medicine?"

Li Xiao really admired the sharp eyesight of the ancient clerk, so he sweetly praised: "Brother is so awesome!" After saying that, he gave a thumbs up!

The waiter smiled, politely led the two of them into the side hall, poured tea, and then ran to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper and Dr. Sun arrived together this time.

Because the waiter didn’t ask about any medicinal materials, he only said that the farmer who sold Ganoderma lucidum last year came again with his daughter, and they happened to be together. Although he didn’t think the family could find precious medicinal materials like Ganoderma lucidum, they came together anyway.

The person who spoke this time was the shopkeeper, named Zhao. (Shopkeeper: I finally have a last name)
"If I remember correctly, my surname is Li, right?" Shopkeeper Zhao asked politely, and when Li Dashan nodded, he continued.

"Brother Li has found some medicinal materials this time. You can take them out first and let me and Mr. Sun take a look."

After Li Dashan and Li Xiao greeted the two of them, they took out the yams first.

About twenty kilograms of yams, except for the short ones, are eaten at home, and all the better-looking ones are brought over.

"The shopkeeper is also Old Doctor Sun. To be honest with you two, I found some yam in the mountains yesterday, but it's still a little old, so I only dug up a few. I'll bring it over to you first. Do you want to keep it?"

Shopkeeper Zhao and Mr. Sun recognized it as soon as they took it out.But I didn't expect that this farmer also recognized yam.

The two of them looked at the yam in front of them. It was indeed a little short of time, but it was still usable.

The two looked at each other, and Mr. Sun said: "Although this yam is still a little old, it doesn't affect its use as medicine."

"But because it's raw, the drug store can give you up to thirty cents per catty. How about it?"
