Chapter 645: Can't Dig Anymore

Wang An heard this and said with a smile:

"Yeah, six-leaf, the legendary six-leaf, we actually encountered it, hahahaha... We really had invincible good luck."

Wang Li didn't laugh when he heard this, but urged Wang An:

"Fourth Brother, let's find it quickly. I remember the supply and marketing cooperative pays at least 5,000 yuan for a six-leaf ginseng."

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li when he heard this and said:

"Look at your unpromising appearance. How much is all the gold in your house worth? You useless thing, let alone 5,000, I wouldn't sell it for 50,000."

Wang Li was a bit confused when he heard this, scratched his head and asked:

"Then we keep it for ourselves, it's useless except for soaking in wine."

Wang An said subconsciously:

"Keep it for soaking in wine and don't sell it, we're not short of money."

Although Wang Li didn't understand why Wang An would say this, he still echoed:

"Then if you don't sell it, I won't sell it either."

Wang An nodded casually, but didn't explain why he didn't sell the ginseng.

In fact, the main reason Wang An didn't want to sell the ginseng was that he wasn't short of money.

On the other hand, it was because Wang An, as a reborn person, knew too well how precious wild ginseng was.

The price of this thing would only get higher and higher; there was absolutely no such thing as a price drop.

You have to know that before Wang An entered the fence in his previous life, even a wild ginseng over 80 years old, which was a five-leaf ginseng, could be auctioned for over 500,000 as long as the quality was good.

You have to know that it was the 90s, and 500,000 in the 90s could easily buy a house of over 100 square meters even in a first-tier city.

Of course, this refers to ordinary buildings, not those courtyard houses.

And for those over a hundred years old, which is six-leaf ginseng, as long as the quality is a little better, the price is already beyond the imagination of ordinary people, because the auction price is as high as over 2 million.

However, Wang An didn't know the price after 1995, because at that time, Wang An had already been in the fence, and he was neither concerned nor had the conditions to be concerned about these things.

Without continuing to discuss whether to sell the ginseng or not, Wang An and Wang Li, the two brothers, began to dig carefully with wooden sticks.

To be honest, so many ginseng young buds made Wang An and Wang Li feel a bit overwhelmed, and they could only brush the soil bit by bit from the very edge.

Han Shuisheng once said that digging for ginseng is a very, very slow job, and it consumes both energy and physical strength.

Because the head of their ginseng gang back then would easily spend two, three, or even three or four hours digging up a three-leaf ginseng root.

If it were four-leaf grade, six or seven hours or seven or eight hours were normal situations.

The most awesome time was when their ginseng gang head spent two and a half days digging up a five-leaf ginseng root.

The main thing was that the ginseng was relatively special, with a large reed head, but a thin main root, three arms, and five side roots, and the number of root hairs was countless.

Of course, terms like "reed head" and "main root" are names for various parts of ginseng.

Simply put, it's because ginseng and humans are relatively similar in shape.

So the "reed head" of ginseng is actually the head, the "main root" is the body, the "arm" is the arm, the "side root" is the thigh, and the "root hair" is the sweat hair and feet. To be honest, such ginseng is really rare, because five-leaf ginseng is already rare, and it is even more difficult for such strange-shaped ginseng to appear.

But it must be said that although such ginseng is difficult to dig, the price is also very amazing.

In fact, even for normal ginseng, it is quite difficult to dig it out completely. This point can be seen from the three-leaf ginseng dug by Wang An and Wang Li respectively.

So Wang An and Wang Li, although full of expectations for the six-leaf ginseng, soon sadly discovered that relying solely on wooden sticks to dig for ginseng was really too difficult!

Only until now did Wang An realize how important the set of ginseng-digging tools Han Shuisheng gave him was for digging ginseng.

When Wang An brushed two root hairs off a two-year-old ginseng root at the very edge, Wang An finally couldn't help but say to Wang Li:

"Old Five, we can't dig anymore. If we keep doing this, these ginseng roots will all be scrapped by us."

Hearing Wang An's words, Wang Li, who was carefully brushing the soil, withdrew the wooden stick from the soil and blinked his eyelids several times and said:

"Oh my god, staring at the root hairs like this, my eyes are tired."

After saying this, Wang Li shook his head hard, as if to let his head relax, and then said to Wang An:

"Then what should we do, Fourth Brother? If we go back to find my brother Mu, we definitely won't be able to come today, so we have to come tomorrow."

Wang An nodded and said: "Yeah, we have to come early tomorrow, and we have to plan to spend the night here."

Wang Li looked at the ginseng young buds all over the ground and suddenly said with full worry:

"What if someone comes after noon? Won't they secretly dig away these ginseng roots?"

Wang An also looked at the ginseng young buds, and his eyebrows frowned tightly.

In fact, this is exactly what Wang An was worried about, because every year during this period, those ginseng gangs that specialize in calling the mountain have basically all entered the mountain to catch this "ginseng market."

If they encounter them, there will inevitably be a fierce fight.

To say what Wang An was most worried about, it was actually the kind of ginseng gang that accidentally found this place. As for the descendants of those ginseng gangs who cut markers on this old patch, Wang An was no longer worried at this time.

Because if their descendants often visited this old patch, then this old patch would definitely not have six-leaf ginseng, which is already a top-notch big good in ginseng.

You have to know that over 5,000 yuan in this era is a genuine huge sum of money.

So Wang An believed that their descendants would not come.

After thinking for a long time, Wang An said:

"Let's find other places first. If there are other two-year-olds or lamp stands, we will dig them all to practice, and then we will leave before dark."

Wang An made a decision, and Wang Li generally wouldn't refute it, because in Wang Li's cognition, Fourth Brother's decisions were always right, and mainly there were really very few mistakes.

Wang Li nodded and said:

"Mm-hmm, Fourth Brother."

As they spoke, the two of them worked together to fill the soil they had brushed out back, and covered the ginseng young buds with soil.

Finally, the two brothers picked out all the dried ginseng seedlings mixed in the dead grass, and covered the dead grass on top again.

It must be said that after such a toss, even a professional ginseng gang might not be able to see it at a glance.
