Chapter 107 No ginseng, a wasted trip
Ox carts had to pay to enter the city, so Gu Laosan usually parked them outside the city gate.
Yang Fenglan carried her basket on her back and went to the clinic she had visited before.
The quality of the honeysuckle is the same as last time, and the price is also the same, 25 wen per jin. There are a total of 32 jin of dried honeysuckle, which cost 800 wen.
Fresh dendrobium needs to be processed, which greatly reduces its weight, so the unit price is not high, and it sold for a total of two hundred coins.
It was quite a coincidence; the total came to one string of cash.
I finally made a big profit!
Yang Fenglan was overjoyed.
There was still grain at home, and Shen Yu still had some meat left, so Yang Fenglan bought a pot of soy sauce, two catties of coarse salt, and a few strings of candied hawthorns before heading out of town.
The fare was fifteen coins, but Gu Laosan insisted on only twelve coins. He said that other people also paid twelve coins for a chartered car, and he couldn't charge more.
Yang Fenglan thanked her and then carried her basket home.
She deliberately passed by the Xu family's house, but didn't see her best friend, and looked disappointed.
When she got home, Shen Yu was nowhere to be seen. After putting down the things she had bought, she went back to her room to count the money.
……
At this moment, Nanshan.
Shen Yu searched for the so-called ginseng all morning, following the location Long Aotian had indicated, but still couldn't find it.
"Three large soapberry trees a hundred feet to the west..."
The mountains and forests were quiet, and Shen Yu felt a little scared being alone.
He coughed twice, then raised his voice to encourage himself, "Long Aotian, are you lying to me? All I can see are trees, how am I supposed to find three locust trees!"
Sure enough, the sound gave me more courage.
Shen Yu continued up the mountain.
Dozens of meters behind her, a head popped out from behind a large tree trunk.
"Long Aotian?" Xu Yingying frowned. How would Shen Yu know about Long Aotian?
Could it be that her best friend let it slip?
Since Shen Yu mentioned Long Aotian and went into the mountains to look for something, what she found must be something good.
"Three locust trees are about 100 zhang to the west. How many meters is 100 zhang?"
Xu Yingying did the calculations while following Shen Yu.
In the woods, the direction of the sun's movement was not visible. Xu Yingying did not know how long she had walked, only that she had crossed two or three hills.
"Found it!" Shen Yu exclaimed and ran forward.
Xu Yingying noticed three large trees covered in sharp thorns not far away.
Is this the soapberry tree that Shen Yu was talking about?
That leads west to Baizhang...
Xu Yingying crouched down and quietly slipped away.
There were many fresh wild vegetables near the soapberry tree. Shen Yu put down her basket and began to pick wild vegetables.
There was no one in Nanshan, so things wouldn't run away, and she wasn't in a hurry.
I'll pick some wild vegetables so I'll have something to show for myself when I get home.
Shen Yu picked a small portion of wild vegetables from his basket before calmly heading west.
After walking for more than a hundred feet, we didn't see any ginseng branches or leaves at all.
Long Aotian described it at the time: The ginseng leaf is composed of three five-petaled compound leaves, which is a characteristic of 30-year-old ginseng.
In other words, it's not just a bare rod.
Shen Yu searched every inch of the surrounding greenery, but couldn't find a single ginseng leaf.
I did see signs that it had been dug up.
The soil is still fresh.
Someone beat them to it?
Shen Yu felt a tightness in her chest, and she couldn't quite put her finger on how angry she was.
Having gained nothing, he returned home dejectedly.
Yang Fenglan had already cooked the rice.
"Xiaoyu, you're back. Wash your hands and have dinner."
"Hmm." Shen Yu put down her basket and listlessly fetched water to wash her hands.
After finishing her meal, Yang Fenglan went back into the house and brought out a string of copper coins and a remaining candied hawthorn skewer, which she handed to Shen Yu.
In front of Zhou Jingyi, they began to settle accounts.
"I sold the honeysuckle for 800 coins. I spent 80 coins on salt, soy sauce, and transportation, so I have 720 coins left."
"Divide it into three portions, two hundred and forty for each person. Jingyi has the medicine, so he can save it for next time and for household expenses."
Yang Fenglan counted out Shen Yu's portion and gave it to her.
"In addition, the dendrobium sold for two hundred coins, and you also shared the money with me for the lingzhi you found. Although two hundred coins is not much, it should still be shared with you. You get seventy, I get seventy, and the remaining sixty can be used for household expenses."
