There is a mountain in her arms

Although I talked about the plan yesterday, I can’t spend so much money at once. I have to find a way to make a living with money.

Jiang Yichen took Achu to the place where it was born and dug up two old ginsengs.

Grandpa Jiang sent a message to Gu Yanbang, asking him to come home, and then took the siblings to catch lobsters in the small river at the door.

Lobsters were breeding quickly at that time. Jiang Yichen had rarely walked by the river before, so she didn't know there were lobsters in the river. She only saw them when she caught An An when he could run when he was a child.

When Jiang Yichen saw the lobster, she thought of the delicacy from later generations. However, Grandpa Jiang told her that he didn't know that this thing was edible.

She was so amazed at the time that she caught a big basin of it herself and taught her grandmother how to make it. The whole family fell in love with it.

The next year, the villagers saw them catching lobsters frequently and thought they were running out of food.

Grandpa Jiang specially brought a bag of food to their doorstep and complained that they had nothing to eat but didn't say anything, which confused Grandpa Jiang.

After finally understanding the situation, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He hurriedly explained everything to his elder brother and even invited him to a lobster dinner.

After Grandpa Jiang went home and dispelled the rumor, Jiang Weitong, who was at home for summer vacation at the time, became so greedy that he took his two boys to catch a big bucket and cook a meal at home.

It tastes good, but it uses too much seasoning and oil. He kept saying he wanted to eat it, but his family couldn't bear to let him. However, they still made a few meals every year to satisfy his hunger.

The stream itself is not deep, and under the scorching sun every day, the water in the river has receded a lot.

When Grandpa Jiang and his two children were catching lobsters in the river, they were seen by the villagers. Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zixiao, who were at home, heard the news and joined in.

Jiang Zitao is going to be a senior in high school, and he has already reported to school in advance.

"Second Grandpa, can I have dinner at your house later?"

Jiang Zixiao never beat around the bush when talking to Grandpa Jiang and always stated his request directly.

"Okay! You and your sister come, but you have to help wash the lobsters."

"it is good!"

Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zixiao answered in unison that they both liked to eat lobsters, but they didn't have much at home.

Grandma Jiang had already taken the ones she caught back to deal with, and when Grandpa Jiang saw that it was almost done, he drove them ashore.

Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zixiao didn't want to go home, for fear that their families would find out and they would not be able to leave the house, so they just washed casually.

Jiang Yicheng and An An even took a shower and changed into clean clothes before coming out to help.

Washing lobsters is a tedious job. They caught two large basins, and with so many people working together, it took a long time.

Just as they were busy, Gu Yanbang and Jiang Fengying came in carrying things. They were a little surprised to see that they were all washing lobsters.

"Uncle and aunt, this stuff doesn't taste good. Why did you make so much? Do you want to eat meat? We bought some."

Jiang Fengying really loves them. In the past few years, Jiang Yichen and An An have always been in front of them, and she really loves them.

"Aunt Ying, you don't know this. I'll give you a surprise later. Uncle Gu, you probably haven't eaten it either. I'll open your eyes to it."

"Okay, I'll wait."

"Grandpa, why don't you go catch some more and we'll wash them here."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Grandpa Jiang hadn't washed yet, so he went out without saying a word, and Gu Yanbang quickly followed him.

"I'll go too. It'll be quicker for two of us."

Jiang Fengying took Grandpa Jiang's place. Jiang Yichen taught her how to avoid getting hurt, and she quickly got the hang of it.

With Jiang Fengying's help, Grandma Jiang stepped out to prepare the seasonings and also fried a few dishes.

Today's lunch was a little late. There were two large pots of lobster on the table, a plate of beans and eggplant, a plate of tiger skin peppers, a plate of bitter melon scrambled eggs, and a small pot of tomato and egg soup.

"Auntie, your cooking skills are amazing. Just looking at it makes me drool. The bright red lobsters are making me hungry."

Gu Yanbang was very happy when he saw the delicious dishes on the table. Jiang Fengying also agreed and helped to set the table.

"Of course. I just helped Auntie in the kitchen and tasted it secretly. It was really delicious. You can even open a shop."

"What are you waiting for? Let's eat! We've been busy for so long, isn't it just for this meal? Xiao Gu, Xiao Jiang, sit down and eat. Children, help yourselves."

Grandpa Jiang asked them to sit down, and the children waited for their adults to sit down before finding a seat.

Grandma Jiang steamed a big pot of white rice, and some porridge that she didn’t finish eating in the morning. It’s more delicious now that it’s cold.

Now there is no need to hide the white rice you eat, because after the land was distributed to each household, every household has a surplus of food, so there is no need to eat so hard.

"Hmm! Auntie, how come it tastes so good? I heard from my comrades that this thing is not tasty and has an earthy smell."

"Humph! Didn't you see how much trouble Auntie made it? She also added a lot of oil and seasonings. Most families wouldn't be willing to spend that much. But I learned how to do it today. When I have time in the future, I will cook it at home."

As soon as Gu Yanbang took a bite, he felt it was the most delicious food in the world. Jiang Fengying explained his doubts to him while they were eating.

Because everyone at the table was busy peeling lobsters, there was no time to talk.

The two pots of lobsters were finished in a short while, and Grandma Jiang went to the kitchen and got out two more pots.

Everyone's mouths were red from eating so much, but they kept saying it was delicious. Even Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zixiao refused to eat rice and only ate lobster. It was only when Grandpa Jiang said so that they ate half a bowl.

After lunch, the table was covered with records and piles of lobster shells.

Grandma Jiang didn’t touch much of the dishes she had cooked earlier, but she did finish the soup.

Grandma Jiang cleaned the table and cut two plates of watermelon and placed them on the table.

“It relieves the spiciness!”

An An couldn't help but eat a piece first. Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zixiao had never eaten it before, so they also took a piece.

Gu Yanbang and Jiang Fengying had eaten it before and each took a piece.

Jiang Zixiao took a bite and his eyes lit up. He finished it in a few bites and picked up another piece to start chewing.

Seeing that he liked it, Grandma Jiang specially cut another plate for him.

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang ate it often, so they only ate one piece and then stopped.

Gu Yanbang and Jiang Fengying didn't want to snatch it from the children, so they stopped after eating one piece.

The rest were shared by the four children. Jiang Zixiao ate the most. If Grandma Jiang hadn't told him that watermelon was a cold food and he shouldn't eat too much, he wouldn't have been able to control his eating habits.

Jiang Fengying helped Grandma Jiang clean up, while Jiang Ziqing and Jiang Zixiao sensibly said goodbye.

Grandma Jiang gave Jiang Zixiao a big watermelon and brought a big bowl of lobster to Jiang Ziqing.

"Go back and let your grandparents have a taste too."

"Thank you, Second Grandma!"

The two of them politely said goodbye. Jiang Fengying saw that Grandma Jiang gave her such a big watermelon as a gift and felt that the relationship between them was really good.

Jiang Yichen and An An went back to their room to read obediently, while Grandpa Jiang and Gu Yanbang talked about ginseng.

"Ginseng? Let me see."

Gu Yanbang was really surprised! He knew there must be ginseng on this mountain, but he didn't understand why he was called here specially.

"Right here."

Grandpa Jiang went to the room and took out something wrapped in newspaper.

The corners of Gu Yanbang's mouth twitched slightly. This is ginseng, ginseng, why is it just wrapped so casually?

"Hiss! Uncle, this ginseng must be quite old. It should be at least close to sixty years old."

Gu Yanbang's hands were shaking a little, and he felt that the newspaper in his hand was becoming more and more annoying.

"Yes! Otherwise I wouldn't have specially asked you to come here. I want you to find a way to sell it to us at a good price."

Grandpa Jiang said this calmly, without any reluctance. Jiang Fengying came in after finishing her work, saw the ginseng in Gu Yanbang's hand, and took a step closer to take a look.

"Uncle, why don't you keep one? It's a life-saving medicine."

"We are in good health! Over the years, Chengcheng has dug a lot of wild ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, dendrobium, and cordyceps in the mountains to nourish our bodies."

Gu Yanbang began to envy them after hearing this, but he felt better when he thought that Jiang Yichen was also good to them and had given them some gifts.

"Old Gu, I don't think such a good thing can be sold at a good price here. Why not send a letter to the old man at home and ask him. I will also send a letter to my old man at home. The old guys in Beijing are very careful about their lives now, and they will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money."

Jiang Fengying always considered the Jiang family, which touched the Jiang family deeply.

"Okay! I'll call when I get back. Uncle, you guys keep this thing. I'll come back to pick it up after I've received the letter."

"it is good!"

Grandpa Jiang was about to wrap up the newspaper, and Gu Yanbang couldn't help but ask him.

"Uncle, can't you use something else to hold it? Don't damage the roots, it will reduce the medicinal properties and reduce the price."

"Ah? That's how we packed the wild ginseng we dug before! What do we use to pack it?"

When Grandpa Jiang heard that there would be less money, he immediately felt distressed.

"Use a clean bottle or a box lined with flannel."

Grandma Jiang immediately found two clean glass bottles and put the two ginsengs in them.

Gu Yanbang and Jiang Fengying did not stay any longer and immediately rushed back to the county and made two phone calls to the capital.

"What? Ginseng that's at least sixty years old! Get it, we must get it."

Mr. Gu answered the phone, stood up in shock, and yelled into the microphone.

"Money is not a problem. I'll arrange for someone to take it over."

When Jiang Fengying called home, Old Man Jiang was equally excited. He also expressed his determination to get it, no matter how much it cost.

Gu Yanbang's family and Jiang Fengying's family also have a place in the capital.

The two of them were in a marriage of arrangement, but they knew each other before and got along well with each other. Compared to finding a random stranger to marry, it was of course better to know each other.

Both of them are quite insightful, so over the years, they have understood and tolerated each other and have lived a good life.

The reason why Jiang Fengying mentioned her family in Beijing was because it was nice to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

If the elders of both families lived longer, it would be a kind of protection for them.

Gu Yanbang's elder brother and Jiang Fengying's younger brother both came to Daluo County with a connoisseur. They were afraid that the news would leak out, so they set off overnight.

The next day, the two of them blocked the entrance of the Public Security Bureau at the same time, and they couldn't help but be wary of each other.

Gu Yanbang didn't expect them to be so fast, so he took the four of them home and asked Jiang Fengying to entertain them. He rushed to Jiang's house to get the ginseng. If he had known they were so fast, he would have brought it back earlier.

Jiang Fengying works in the Education Bureau. Her job is easy and there are not many time restrictions.

Jiang Fengying's brother Jiang Tianhua pulled his sister aside and whispered to her, "Why did you notify the Gu family as well? Then both our families will fight over it, and it will be embarrassing for you."

"It's okay. There are two. You can take one each."

"Two?"

Jiang Tianhua failed to control the volume of his voice, and Gu Yanan, who had been paying attention to them, heard it, and couldn't help but frown.

In fact, he was also blaming his brother for not handling the matter reliably. Why bother notifying the Jiang family when he had already told the Gu family?

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean two? Two ginsengs?"

Jiang Tianhua was a little annoyed, but now he was no longer nervous. He walked over and sat down with a relaxed look.

"My sister said there are two ginsengs. We can each get one. There's no need to fight over it."

Gu Yanan was also happy when he heard this. The two families were in-laws and helped each other. It would not be good if they fell out because of this ginseng.

“But they are all of similar vintage?”

Gu Yanan's words made Jiang Tianhua feel nervous. Why didn't he think of asking first?

"I've seen it, it's about the same, on par with the others."

Only then did the two of them finally relax and the conversation became much more harmonious.

Gu Yanbang drove the car that his elder brother had brought over directly to Jiangcha Village.

He took the ginseng and was about to leave. Jiang Yichen couldn't help but ask him if he could make a request.

Gu Yanbang was a little surprised and asked her to speak frankly.

Jiang Yichen asked them for help in getting approval for the road construction in Jiangcha Village.

Because road construction belongs to the country, if they want to build a road, they need permission, especially if they want to build the road at their own expense.

Gu Yanbang didn't expect them to be so broad-minded, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Did you guys discover this ginseng a long time ago? Did you dig it out and sell it because you wanted to build a road?"

"Yes! My grandfather said that when drinking water, one should remember the well digger. Our lives are getting better now, but the lives of the villagers are not much better. Especially since most of the people in this village are Jiang clan members, they should lend a hand."

"Your grandfather is really broad-minded. I understand. I will make this happen."

"Thank you Uncle Gu!"

As soon as Gu Yanbang returned home with the ginseng, he was stared at by four pairs of eyes at home, and he couldn't help but make a joke.

"Take your eyes off me. You don't have to be so enthusiastic. I'm getting goosebumps."

"Don't waste time, take it out and let them see it. We have to go back and have a lot of things to do at home."

Gu Yanan gave him a warning look and said seriously.

Gu Yanbang was a little helpless, as politicians love to do these things. But he still opened the package in his hand, and there were two glass bottles of ginseng inside.

"Ouch! Why do you use such a simple thing to store ginseng?"

The two experts each took a bottle the moment Gu Yanbang opened it and gave him a blank look.

Gu Yanbang touched his nose and smiled at Jiang Fengying. They both wanted to say at the same time, don't you know that they just wrapped it with newspapers at the beginning.

The two men carefully took out the ginseng, examined it carefully with a magnifying glass, and kept sighing.

Although Gu Yanan and Jiang Tianhua didn't quite understand, they knew it was good news when they heard such an exclamation.

"You two did a great job this time. If there is such an opportunity again in the future, you must notify us as soon as possible like you did this time."

Gu Yanan's expression also softened at this moment. As the future head of the Gu family, he became abnormal at the first moment.

"That's right, sister and brother-in-law. If the old man doesn't fall, the family will have more time to develop, and you will also benefit."

Jiang Tianhua, as the next generation leader of the Jiang family, also agreed with Gu Yan'an's words.

Gu Yanbang shrugged and Jiang Fengying smiled gently.
