Shen Wanning suggested, "Mom, why don't we boil these quail eggs tonight and have one each? It will satisfy our cravings. As for the remaining eggs, how about making some vegetable and egg soup?"

"Yes, grandma, we have five chickens at home. Maybe we can pick five eggs every day in the future! Then we can eat eggs every day in the future!" Lin He imagined a beautiful future with a smile on his face.

"How can we waste food like this? We are not a wealthy family. No, no, we can't eat all these quail eggs at once. We have to eat them sparingly." Aunt Zhang shook her head and quickly put the quail eggs away, fearing that they would cook them now.

"Mom, don't worry, I still have something to tell you! Look, what good stuff have I found?" Shen Wanning said mysteriously, pushing aside the wild vegetables in the bamboo basket to reveal the ginseng underneath.

"Mom, look, I dug up a big ginseng today!" Shen Wanning took the initiative to reveal the secret.

Lin Dashan, who was usually not good at speaking, trembled with fear. "Oh, this... this is ginseng?"

He rubbed his hands and wanted to take the ginseng, but he didn't dare to do so for fear of breaking it.

Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she screamed and almost threw away the eggs and quail eggs in her arms.

"Ah! Wan Ning, this... this ginseng did you pick today? It's such a big one!"

Not only the two of them, but several other people were also staring at the ginseng in the bamboo basket, wanting to take it but not daring to.

Just as Shen Wanning reached out to pick up the ginseng, another hand got there first and picked up the ginseng to take a look.

Lin Jingyou observed it carefully for a while, "Mom, this is indeed ginseng. I saw a classmate taking it in the academy before. Although he took dried ginseng, it looks very similar to this one."

Fortunately, Shen Wanning was smart. Before taking out the ginseng, she smeared some moist soil on it, so there was no flaw.

"Oh my goodness! This is the first time I've ever seen ginseng in my life! I've heard that ginseng is very valuable. Third brother, do you know how much this ginseng can be sold for?"

When it comes to the current prices, Shen Wanning didn't know either, so she looked at Lin Jingyou.

Lin Jingyou shook his head. "I know very little about this, but judging by the size of this ginseng, it seems to be quite old. I'm sure it can be sold for a good price."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Wanning again. Logically speaking, Shen Wanning came from a wealthy family and should have seen ginseng before. She might know the value of this ginseng.

Shen Wanning opened her big, innocent eyes and shook her head. "I don't know about that either. I'll probably have to go to the pharmacy in town and ask."

"There is only one pharmacy in the town, and it is a small one. If you want to sell it at a high price, you probably have to go to the county or Fuzhou." Lin Jingyou replied.

Lin Dashan took out his pipe and took a few puffs, but he couldn't make up his mind. Even Aunt Zhang was silent, not knowing what to do.

After all, they had never left Qinghe County in their lives. If they were asked to go to Fuzhou to sell ginseng, they really didn't have the courage to do so.

"Why don't we go to the county and ask? If the price is right, we'll sell it right away. Fuzhou is too far away. It would take at least three days to go back and forth, and we might not get a high price."

Seeing that they were silent, Shen Wanning probably thought they were waiting for the owner of the ginseng to make the decision, so she opened her mouth and made a suggestion.

Lin Jingyou nodded and said, "I agree with Sister Wan Ning's suggestion. If we go to the county, a day will be enough for the round trip."

"If we go to Fuzhou, not only will the journey be too long, but we'll also have to rent a carriage from the town. With the drought, there might be a lot of refugees on the road. If they injure someone, it would be more trouble than good!"

Netizens in the livestream had originally suggested that Shen Wanning sell the ginseng in Fuzhou, where it could fetch a higher price. After hearing Lin Jingyou's explanation, they all marveled at the wisdom and thoughtfulness of ancient scholars.

This earned him another wave of favor among netizens, and netizens became even more eager to pair him up with Shen Wanning!

Finally, Aunt Zhang made the decision, "Okay, Third Brother, you're an educated person, so tomorrow you and your father will go to the county! Remember to ask around and compare prices! We can compare prices three ways and not get any worse off!"

When Shen Wanning heard they were going to the county, she quickly said, "Mom, why don't I go with my third brother? I know a bit about ginseng, so it would be easier for me to bargain with the people at the pharmacy."

She had been wanting to go to town or the county for a long time! She wanted to replace all the chipped bowls and chairs with missing legs at home with new ones! Oh no, she wanted to build a big house! And replace the furniture!

Oh, right, the most important thing now is to buy food. She wants to eat refined rice and no longer eat rice porridge mixed with bran. She also needs to buy meat and cloth for new clothes. Thinking about it, she really has too many things to buy. She doesn't know if this ginseng will be enough. Oh! If only I had brought two more.

Just as she was still regretting not taking more ginseng, Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, then Wan Ning and Lao San can go! You should go early and come back early, and be careful on the road!"

The ginseng sale was settled, and Aunt Zhang put the eggs in the cupboard. After some thought, she decided to put the quail eggs in a basket nearby to eat that evening.

After doing all this, Aunt Zhang went back into the house and took out a piece of navy blue cloth. She carefully wrapped the ginseng and put it in the house.

When everything was almost ready, Xu's meal was also ready. Each person had a piece of pancake and a bowl of chicken soup, which was a delicious meal.

"Since my aunt came to our house, our lives have been getting better and better. It would be great if we could eat meat every day!" Lin He sighed.

"What's the matter? Did I starve you before? You are the only one who talks too much. You don't want to drink the remaining chicken soup, right? If not, give it to Xiaohu!" Xu knocked him with his chopsticks and glared at him.

Lin He drank the rest of the chicken soup in one gulp and smacked his lips. "I'm definitely hungry. I only drink those few mouthfuls of porridge every day, and I'm hungry before I even finish it. Life is still good with my aunt around!"

Aunt Zhang felt comfortable hearing this. "That's because I know what pearls are. I knew Wan Ning was a good person. I felt close to her the moment I saw her. We have a connection. If I hadn't kept Wan Ning as my daughter, would you have been able to live such a good life?"

While speaking, he glanced at Xu specifically, implying that Xu did not quite agree with Shen Wanning staying at that time.

Xu smiled guiltily, "Mom, this is all in the past, why are you still bringing it up? Besides, I didn't say I didn't agree with Wan Ning staying, right, Miss Wan Ning?"

Shen Wanning curled her lips and smiled, "That's because my mother is kind-hearted and willing to take me in during this famine. And second brother, I never got to thank you for saving me from the mountain."

"Wan Ning, it's too formal for you to say that. We are all family now, so stop thanking me!" Lin Jingcheng smiled generously.
