Chapter 643: Ginseng Seedlings
Wang Li looked at these two ginseng roots and was also speechless.
After a while, Wang Li asked Wang An with a confused face:
"Fourth Brother, after all this time, you don't know how to lift ginseng either?"
Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said very righteously: "When did I ever say I knew how? Our two families aren't far apart; have you ever seen me lift ginseng?"
Wang Li whispered upon hearing this: "I just saw you acting all high and mighty, so I thought you knew how to lift this thing."
Upon hearing this, Wang An kicked Wang Li with a "bang" and said very dissatisfied: "How are you talking to your brother? Are you looking for a kick? Don't you have to learn everything you don't know? You useless thing."
Wang Li, who had been kicked, immediately became obedient, hanging his head dejectedly, and muttered:
"Then... then you haven't learned it either!"
Upon hearing this, Wang An kicked Wang Li again with a "bang" and said: "Who can teach me this thing? Who can I learn from?"
This time Wang Li didn't speak and just shut his mouth.
After kicking Wang Li, Wang An looked at the two ginseng roots in his hand, sighed long, and then handed one to Wang Li. While handing the ginseng, Wang An also said:
"Forget it, anyway, we're not short of this money. Just take this ginseng home, wash it, and soak it in wine. Oh, stewing it with a small chicken is also fine. I heard that stewing this thing with a small chicken is very nourishing, but don't drink the chicken soup; if you drink it, your nose will probably bleed."
After Wang Li took the ginseng, he brushed the broken root hairs on the ginseng and muttered to the ginseng: "Why did you break? Even if I don't know how to dig, you shouldn't break. You useless thing, not sturdy at all."
Seeing this, Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:
"Alright, stop showing off. There must be quite a few ginseng roots around here. Hurry up and find them."
After saying this, Wang An hunched his back and started looking on the ground.
It must be said that only until now did Wang An know what a real "ginseng market" was.
Because although the branches and leaves of ginseng are small at this time, they are different from the small green buds of various plants. As long as one can distinguish this difference, it becomes not so difficult to find ginseng.
The young bud of ginseng that has just sprouted from the soil is curved, a bit like the bud of a newly sprouted bean, but unlike a newly sprouted bean sprout, the young bud of ginseng is hook-shaped and has a small bump at the tip.
And this small bump is actually the branches and leaves that have not yet grown.
It's just that whether it's the young bud of ginseng or the young bud of other plants, they are all very small. If your eyesight is not good, you definitely won't be able to see them.
Of course, besides this, this kind of young bud is also very fragile and is very likely to be trampled by animals that have passed by before, or trampled by Wang An and Wang Li, causing the young bud that finally sprouted to break directly.
But unlike other plants, after the young bud of ginseng breaks, it will not grow new buds again this year, and this ginseng will be very difficult to be found this year.
When Wang An found the third ginseng root of this mountain trip, Wang Li hadn't found one yet, so Wang An immediately shouted to Wang Li: "Old Five, come here, hurry up."
Wang Li, who was not far from Wang An, heard Wang An's shout, immediately stood up and ran toward Wang An, saying while running: "What's wrong, Fourth Brother? Did you find another ginseng root?"
When Wang Li ran to the front, Wang An said:
"Take a good look, this is the small seedling of ginseng. The previous two seemed to have had this small bump brushed off by the hunting knife. This time..."
Before Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li interrupted anxiously: "This is ginseng? Is this a joke? I just saw a bunch of these! Fourth Brother, why didn't you tell me what ginseng looks like earlier?" Wang An was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and his first reaction was, why didn't he tell Wang Li what ginseng looks like?
But immediately after, Wang An felt something was wrong. That is, for such a long time, since Wang Li didn't know ginseng, why didn't he ask him? Most importantly, Wang Li didn't know ginseng, so what was he brushing on the ground? Thinking of this, Wang An kicked Wang Li with a "bang" and asked with wide eyes:
"You don't know what ginseng looks like, so what are you brushing there? You don't know what ginseng looks like, why didn't you ask me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li took out the ginseng in his pocket and pointed to the ginseng in his hand and said to Wang An:
"I thought the small seedling of ginseng looked like this!"
When Wang An saw the young bud of the ginseng in Wang Li's hand, he instantly felt that his kick was a bit unfair to Wang Li.
Because the young bud of the ginseng in Wang Li's hand, mainly the small bump at the tip, might have developed a bit late, or it forgot to develop, and it was not a fluffy ball shape, but like a fishhook without a tip.
Wang An asked subconsciously:
"Then why don't you dig the soil and see? Why are you so stupid?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li said very indignantly:
"Ginseng is so precious, I thought this thing couldn't grow in a bunch!"
It could be heard that Wang Li was also very uncomfortable at this time, uncomfortable because he "thought too much."
It's just that after Wang An heard this sentence, he was stunned for a moment. Mainly because when Wang Li said the word "bunch" before, Wang An didn't pay attention. This time Wang Li said the word "bunch" again, and Wang An suddenly realized one thing.
That is, what is the concept of a bunch of ginseng? This is obviously getting rich!
Damn! A bunch! This... Thinking of this, Wang An grabbed Wang Li by the back of his collar and pulled Wang Li, who was squatting on the ground looking at the ginseng buds, up, and asked excitedly and urgently: "You just said a bunch of ginseng seedlings? Where are they? Hurry, hurry, hurry, take me to see."
Wang Li was suddenly grabbed by the collar by Wang An and pulled up, and was a bit dumbfounded. Because only until now did Wang Li realize why Wang An was so good at fighting; it was mainly because Wang An's strength was really great.
However, soon, Wang Li also suddenly realized what he had missed before.
So Wang Li, who had reacted, instantly became bright-eyed, his face flushed, and then he pulled Wang An's clothes and turned to leave.
He said while walking:
"Not far, just a few steps away. I tell you, Fourth Brother, it's a really big bunch."
Indeed, as Wang Li said, it was really just a few steps away.
Because as soon as Wang Li finished speaking, Wang Li immediately pointed to a piece of dead grass and said: "Look, Fourth Brother, it's right here, a big bunch."
After Wang Li finished speaking, he squatted down, and Wang An naturally did the same.
Then the two brothers brushed aside the dead grass and looked under the dead grass!
Wang An took a look and was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 644 =====
