Chapter 8: People are searching everywhere for wild ginseng

There is just one more issue; once Xiao Pang uses dragon saliva, his vitality is severely depleted, and he must rely on jade, which is not ideal. Moreover, he has also noticed that the better the jade, the greater its effect on Xiao Pang.

I only have 5,000 yuan left in my hands, and I do not understand the knowledge of jade and stone. Should I rely on luck again like the last time when I stumbled upon a piece of rose quartz?

Little Fatty

After the little chubby one, having eaten and drunk to satisfaction, fell asleep in the water basin for an hour, the immobilization spell was finally lifted

A large basin of braised pork was placed before us, and I watched helplessly as the little chubby one devoured it all, then contentedly wiggled his already plump body, now even more so, into the water basin to fall into a deep sleep.

Hong Ge quickly noticed the other person's confusion: "I have a friend who is an expert in this area; he told me. Look, this piece of jade was also recommended to me by him, and he helped me negotiate the price. Do you know the old Dong from Xiantao Village nearby?"

Dong Shanbei saw that Lei Huanxi had indeed come to visit him again, and he was as happy as could be, chatting with Lei Huanxi about everyday matters for quite a while. Taking a moment, he inquired, and it turned out that the jade pendant belonging to Brother Hong was indeed recommended by Dong Shanbei. The current price is estimated to be around 4000.

"Delighted." Brother Hong's voice rang out: "What brings you to town for breakfast?"

Little Fatty jumped into the pot with a swagger

The chubby little one, who had just been sound asleep, suddenly leaped to the edge of the water basin, its small head pecking incessantly like a chick pecking at grains, with drool flowing down the corner of its mouth...

Little Fatty finally has a conscience, as he did not go to extremes.

However, Lei Huanxi soon realized that he had overthought the matter

What do I lack the most right now? Money! ... If my ginseng could cure Zhu Guoxu's son's illness...

Thus, under the watchful eyes of Brother Huanxi, a large pot of porridge ultimately reduced to about a small bowl.

Going to the Yundong Antique Market? The people there are quite cunning, and those who are completely ignorant about jadeite must be thoroughly taken advantage of.

The tragic life of Lei Huanxi has begun

A pair of malicious little eyes is staring at oneself

There is a fortune teller in our village who said that this year will not be favorable for me

Wherever one raises a dragon, it is simply akin to raising an ancestor

Ginseng? Last night, Grandpa Dong happened to give me a packet of ginseng seeds. Of course, those are just the most ordinary ginseng seeds, but there is a treasure at home!

I saw some nutritional supplements for the elderly being sold, so I bought some as well and delivered them to Grandpa Dong

Hong Ge paused as if to build suspense: "What they want is wild ginseng that has grown at least one hundred years in the highest altitude of Changbai Mountain. Where do you think we can find such a thing?"

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal," Lei Huanxi scoffed. "Are you trying to flatter the big boss with wild ginseng? That big boss has everything; not to mention ginseng, what does he lack? Once the safe is opened, how many people line up to sell to him?"

Lei Huanxi fabricated a series of excuses on the spot

His son is 20 years old this year. In order to cure this illness, over the past 20 years, Zhu Guoxu has visited countless hospitals and consulted many renowned doctors both domestically and abroad, yet there has been no effect whatsoever

Brother Hong still has to busy himself with business, and after chatting for a few moments, he left

"Little Fatty, I will go out to buy some food and come back to make lunch for you, so don't leave," Lei Huanxi said pretentiously.

... ...

This? It's not worth much, bought for over 3000. Brother Hong didn't pay much attention: "This is called 'Xi Bi'. In ancient times, people had to wear two sets of this, with each set consisting of seven pieces of jade. Nowadays, there aren't so many requirements."

I do not know

"Where can I find ginseng? Xiantao Village doesn't produce ginseng." Lei Huanxi muttered, "Brother Hong, what do you need ginseng for?"

Yes, yes, it is him

Moreover, the doctor solemnly informed Zhu Guoxu that if things continued as they were, his son would lose his ability to conceive

Forget it, forget it, I will endure

Going to bed on an empty stomach, I woke up at dawn the next day. I quietly glanced at the basin, and Little Fatty was still sound asleep.

A bream fish, a piece of meat was cut, two vegetarian dishes were purchased, and some supplementary ingredients were added

"Two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge," Brother Hong said as he sat down at Lei Huanxi's table. "Huanxi, is there anyone in your village who has high-quality ginseng?"

As he drank the last small bowl of porridge, Lei Huanxi was on the verge of tears.

At this point, Lei Huanxi's gaze suddenly became fixed and unblinking

In this calculation, Brother Hong has indeed suffered some losses, and I also consider myself to owe Brother Hong this favor

Do you know this person, Zhu Guoxu

One cannot possibly tell others that having a dragon at home makes it so difficult to prepare something to eat

"What does it have to do with me? He doesn't have a daughter to marry me."

At the age of 22, it is precisely the time when one's appetite is large; a small bowl is simply insufficient

More than an hour had passed before Xiao Pang's "Binding Technique" was finally lifted ... Angered, Huanxi Ge could hardly contain his desire to give Xiao Pang a good beating right then and there, but the thought of the "Binding Technique" made him hesitate

The porridge has just been cooked, and if the little fatty jumps in, he will surely be scalded to death

Zhu Guoxu has only one son, how can he not be anxious

Before I could enjoy the aroma of the porridge, just as I was about to grab a bowl, I suddenly felt a slight itch on my neck. I reached out and grabbed it, and when I looked in front of me:

The other party was straightforward, and Lei Huanxi was also generous, immediately offering 3,000 yuan to Brother Hong

After all this time, it turns out that Brother Hong and Grandpa Dong are also acquainted, so this piece of jade should be fine

A mouthful of "keng"

Starving to death, I got out of bed quietly and stealthily, secretly washed the rice and cooked, as if I were a thief, a large pot of porridge.

Dong Shanbei insisted on having dinner with Lei Huanxi at home, but Lei Huanxi, preoccupied with thoughts of Xiao Pang and the ginseng, found an excuse, promising to accompany Grandpa Dong for dinner next time and even to cook personally. Only then did Dong Shanbei reluctantly see Lei Huanxi off at the door.

Having put away the jade pendant, I must say that my current funds are insufficient. After spending a few sums, I am left with only 2000. I will make do and buy a piece for Xiao Pang to manage with, though I am unsure if it will be useful or not

"Brother Hong... there is no rice at home," Lei Huanxi said perfunctorily.

What about Jun Cheng Group

I do not recognize it

Feigning nonchalance: "Brother Hong, the jade hanging at your waist looks quite beautiful."

Thinking about ginseng, Lei Huanxi was already eager to return home.

Freeze

The eyes were rolling around and soon landed on Brother Hong's waist

A piece of jade shaped like a half wall, with both ends resembling a solid form, is tied to the belt

Brother Hong actually understands this? Lei Huanxi did not expect that

"Little Fatty, I will fight you to the end!" Lei Huanxi cried out in despair, filled with immense grief.

Little Fatty not only did not get scalded to death, but instead began to swim joyfully in the porridge, swimming while the porridge rapidly diminished.

Thinking about getting a bit of ambergris from the lazy dragon, it seemed quite difficult given its personality. So, I simply went to the market.

Are you concerned whether someone is a fraud? In any case, Zhu Guoxu is now in a state of panic; he treats anyone who brings him ginseng as a distinguished guest, and it is unclear how much unnecessary money he has spent.

Be careful!" Lei Huanxi couldn't help but exclaim

What do you want to do with this? It is not a good thing

Old Dong? Dong Shanbei?

Little Fatty certainly cannot turn ginseng into a ginseng that is over one hundred years old from the highest point of Changbai Mountain, but if the ginseng seeds in his hands were to be nourished by dragon's saliva...

However, with a glutton who can never be satisfied at home, the risk factor is too high

Is that old Chinese doctor just a fraud?" Lei Huanxi muttered to himself

"What do you understand?" Brother Hong took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "A friend of mine works as a driver for Zhu Guoxu at Jun Cheng. Do you think he hasn't spent a lot of money? But he has special requirements. Do you think wild ginseng is easy to find? This kind of thing has a particularly long growth period, generally requiring several decades, or even one or two hundred years. Then there is the legendary thousand-year ginseng, which is said to have the ability to bring the dead back to life, and it is effective in greatly replenishing vital energy, benefiting the spleen and lungs, nourishing the blood, and calming the mind. Therefore, wild mountain ginseng is the most expensive and effective type of ginseng... The problem lies here..."

Therefore, wild mountain ginseng is the most expensive and effective type of ginseng... The problem lies here...

The impact of the outcome is that after the birth of Zhu Guoxu's son, his health has been poor, experiencing night sweats, frequent dizziness and headaches, extreme fatigue from even slight physical activity, and vomiting if he eats even a little too much

What is it, say?

"Don't say it, Zhu Guoxu really has a daughter, and I've heard she's quite beautiful, but for her to take a liking to you, the sun would have to rise in the west," Hong Ge joked with a smile. "However, my search for ginseng is indeed related to Zhu Guoxu. In addition to a daughter, he also has a son, and that son is quite unfortunate. When he was being carried, Zhu Guoxu's wife fell..."

Hong Ge does not doubt that stories about needing jade to ward off evil due to an unfavorable year are everywhere. However, jade nurtures people, and people nurture jade; this piece of jade has been with him for several years, and he feels somewhat reluctant to part with it

But when I think of the peaches grown by Lei Huanxi, I can think of nothing else at that moment, and I happily pluck the jade pendant: "Done, 3000, I will transfer it to you at the original price. But you must notify me first when you harvest peaches next time"

Eat, eat, it has nothing to do with me anyway

I said, "You've been in Yundong for several years, how can you not know anything?" Brother Hong smiled wryly and replied, "You actually don't know about such a big boss as Zhu Guoxu and such a famous company as Junchen Group?"

Unfortunately, he is now unable to move at all

Upon his return, a friend recommended a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to him. After an examination, the practitioner informed Zhu Guoxu that there was indeed a possibility of treatment, but it required high-quality wild ginseng

Could you please transfer this piece ... ... to me

The wind swept away the remnants of the clouds, and after consuming four buns, I let out a sigh of relief, no longer having to worry about a silkworm coming to snatch my food away.

Lei Huanxi hurriedly ran to the town, found a breakfast shop, and ordered four buns and a large bowl of porridge

"Brother Hong, you treated me last time, so this time, no matter what, I will take care of it." Lei Huanxi insisted on paying the bill and sat down with a smile, saying, "Brother Hong, let’s discuss something."
