Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality
Chapter 20 Annual Ginseng
As a result, the public security situation in Wanglai Street immediately improved, and even the street became visibly lively.
The merchants were naturally very grateful to He Ling, but they were also afraid of He Ling's methods. After all, it had only been a few days, and the once huge Tiger Fang Gang disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The very next day after the Tiger Tooth Gang disappeared, merchants lined up in front of He Ling's house to give her regular money.
He Ling didn't want to accept it at first, but those merchants were like they had lost their parents and cried in front of He Ling. In the end, He Ling had no choice but to accept it.
The merchants are not stupid. Although He Ling is acting honestly now, people still need to eat. If He Ling changes his mind, those who did not give money will become targets.
Moreover, this woman's methods are much more powerful than those of the Tiger Tooth Gang. If you really want to make someone disappear, you will probably just have to wait for death.
No merchant is a fool. They all understand one thing: you can refuse to accept it, but I cannot refuse to give it to you.
One day, a woman in police uniform came to a pharmacy.
The plaque in front of the door read Rensi Hall. When the waiter saw He Ling, he respectfully called out, "Inspector He."
He Ling nodded and said, "Call out your shopkeeper."
The waiter responded and went to the back hall.
After a while, a slightly plump middle-aged man came out.
The shopkeeper smiled at He Ling as he came out, "Detective He, I wonder what brings you here today? But do you think this month's pay is too little?"
Although He Ling collected the regular fee, it was only a symbolic amount. The merchants always thought that He Ling would raise the price at some point, so the owner of the pharmacy said this.
He Ling took out a piece of yellow paper and handed it to the shopkeeper. "This is not about the regular money. Please see if you have any of these herbs. If you do, give me some seeds as well."
The shopkeeper took the yellow paper and looked at it. "Ambergris, flamingo, golden tail flower, rehmannia glutinosa..."
"Hiss..." The shopkeeper's expression changed.
"Constable He, these are first-rate, precious medicinal herbs. Even in my shop, which has been around for over ten years, we only have these two: Rehmannia and Snow Lotus. As for the Snow Lotus seeds, they've been dried and soaked, so I'm afraid they're already dead."
He Ling's expression remained unchanged. If he didn't cherish them, He Ling would have collected them all in the town long ago.
"I want the two herbs in your store. Can you find a way to get the others for me?"
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, "This... Constable He, these things are treasures that can be passed down from generation to generation. Getting them would be... "
He Ling chuckled and took out a wooden box. "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. Do you think this is enough for the deposit?"
The shopkeeper took the wooden box with some curiosity, opened it and saw that it contained a plump blood-red ginseng. The ginseng had almost taken the shape of a human, with its hands and feet being lifelike, except for the head which still looked like whiskers.
The moment he saw the ginseng, the shopkeeper's hands began to tremble. He looked at He Ling in disbelief, swallowed hard, and then said:
"Detective He, could this be the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng?"
"Shopkeeper Wu has seen a lot, and he actually recognized this thing. Yes, this is the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng that can bring the dead back to life." He Ling continued.
"How about Shopkeeper Wu? If you can help me collect all the herbs, I will give you a thousand-year-old ginseng as a gift."
Shopkeeper Wu's breathing became a little rapid. This thousand-year-old ginseng was a rare medical treasure. If one discovered such a thing and presented it to the current emperor, it could be exchanged for an official position or a thousand taels of gold.
Even if he kept it for himself, it would be a life-saving magical item, and the woman in front of him said that she actually had another one!
Shopkeeper Wu agreed without much thought.
Then Shopkeeper Wu took out two exquisite small boxes and handed them to He Ling, and said that he would notify He Ling as soon as there was any news.
Thousand-year-old ginseng is no longer a precious medicinal material to He Ling. Her body can now produce fifteen drops of precious spring water a day, which can increase the medicinal age of the plant by fifteen years a day.
It only takes two months to obtain a thousand-year-old ginseng, and she has endless time, so it is equivalent to a zero-cost business.
So He Ling just nodded and returned to the yard.
Rehmannia glutinosa is a stone that is completely yellow and looks a bit like ox treasure.
The snow lotus looked like a lotus flower and had been dried and soaked. He Ling checked the center of the flower and found two dried and fried seeds.
However, the seeds have been dehydrated for so long that He Ling is not sure whether they can survive.
Dig a small hole in the yard, hold your finger over it, and a drop of Baoquan spring water will fall down.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement. He then dropped another drop of the precious spring on another seed, but there was still no movement.
He Ling sighed slightly, things were indeed not that easy.
But this was also expected. After a while, He Ling started thinking about what to eat.
It is a hot summer day now. At night, He Ling lies on a lounge chair.
The moonlight was just right, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the moon was a full circle, the size of a large plate.
At this moment, a breeze blew He Ling's hair, bringing back many memories of the past.
He Ling sighed softly. Reminiscing about the past made her feel a little older. She suddenly wanted to taste what the wine tasted like.
But after looking at the sky, he gave up the idea.
Just as I was thinking about eating something, I saw a date tree next to me with all its leaves fallen off.
After thinking about it, she realized that it was a waste to waste the treasure spring every day, so she might as well feed it to the jujube tree. Then she could still eat two dates.
Raising her white and tender fingers towards the roots of the jujube tree, a dozen drops of water with a faint golden-green glow fell.
The jujube tree changed immediately. The leaves that had fallen off sprouted green buds in the blink of an eye, and then green leaves grew. The jujube tree also grew taller, and several branches were generated, and the overall tree became much thicker.
In the blink of an eye, it grew from a half-grown sapling into a tree as thick as a person.
Then it stretched out its buds, quickly blossomed and bore fruit, and red dates hung on the branches.
He Ling picked one and tasted it. It tasted good. He ate about twenty of them before stopping, feeling unsatisfied.
He Ling knows very well that eating too much can easily lead to insomnia at night.
The next day, He Ling put on his constable uniform and went to patrol Wanglai Street. The government rarely interfered with the constables, only requiring them to patrol once in the morning and once in the evening, and to ensure that there were no casualties or property thefts.
People living in Wanglai Street are generally not very wealthy, everyone is poor, but theft rarely happens.
So He Ling is quite free throughout the day.
On the way home, she went to Rensitang to ask again, but there was still no news. He Ling had expected this result, so she only mentioned it in passing.
When I returned to the yard, I thought that the medicinal herbs I wanted to cultivate had almost been cultivated, and there was still a lot of Baoquan left that was not used today. After thinking about it, I simply dripped it all on the jujube tree.
It's better to use it than not to use it.
