Chapter 55 Digging for Ginseng
It's perfectly fine not to keep the ginseng, because it's not of much use to Yun Shu and the others.
Firstly, both Yun Shu and Lin Jing Shu possess secret superpowers that allow them to take good care of themselves, so they don't need this thing. Secondly, Fengsheng Brigade isn't far from the county town, so they can easily ride bicycles to the hospital for serious illnesses or emergencies without wasting much time. Thirdly, and most importantly, none of them know how to use this thing, and they can't easily let this big stick see the light of day.
Otherwise, it might attract a bunch of envious people.
Of course, Yun Shu understood why Pei Wenyuan said he would share the money with them.
Perhaps in Pei Wenyuan's view, he had neither the childhood friendship with Jiang Xiucheng and Chen Ming nor the 'love at first sight' best friend relationship with Yun Shu and Lin Jingshu in the group of five. Therefore, he acted as a lone wolf in the group of five, and seemed a bit detached.
However, during their time in the countryside, they got along quite well, a thousand times better than the backstabbing and infighting he had worried about in the city, so well that it felt somewhat unreal to him.
Pei Wenyuan was not a clueless person. Compared to the seemingly calm but actually scheming old educated youth, he preferred the relaxed and comfortable relationship with Yun Shu and the others.
So within this small group, he always unconsciously gave more. This was true when he stood in front of her and Jingshu when they were being robbed in the county town, and it was also true when he found them a coal stove.
It is obvious that Pei Wenyuan is intelligent and knows his limits, which is why Jiang Xiucheng and Chen Ming were able to accept him so quickly.
But this is no excuse for Yun Shu and the others to pretend they don't know and take advantage of Pei Wenyuan. Friendship is a two-way street; unilateral effort from either side will not last.
Therefore, even if Pei Wenyuan were to share the ginseng harvest with them now, Yun Shu would not be able to accept it readily.
After Yun Shu refused, Lin Jing Shu and Jiang Xiu Cheng also expressed their opinions. It was unreasonable for them to stipulate that everyone should share in the spoils just because they were a small group.
This ginseng is no small item. If Pei Wenyuan hadn't discovered it, who could say anything? Even Yun Shu might not have had time to dig up this ginseng, number seven.
Chen Ming, who had just been excitedly saying he had struck it rich, was now unusually serious. He patted Pei Wenyuan on the shoulder and joked with him.
"Old Pei, once you sell this ginseng, you absolutely have to treat us to a good meal!"
"Ever since I bought a bicycle, my standard of living has plummeted. I'm practically broke, and even when I want to eat meat... I'm too embarrassed to take too much, hehe. So I can only rely on you, bro~"
"Wait until next month! My mom will send money next month, and then my brother can continue to live a good life!"
……
Of the five people, four expressed their opposition to him, which actually touched Pei Wenyuan.
Looking at the sincere faces before him, Pei Wenyuan's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, couldn't help but become slightly moist, but he quickly concealed it by bending down and brushing away at the grass.
After clearing away all the weeds around the ginseng, Pei Wenyuan calmly raised his head to look at his friends.
"Okay, then I'll treat you to a big meal after I exchange the money. We'll go to a state-run restaurant, one dish for each of us, and we won't order any vegetarian dishes!"
"It's a deal, so we'll risk our lives to accompany you. At worst, we'll just have to eat a couple more cloves of garlic!"
Holding up a small shovel, Yun Shu jokingly chimed in, and everyone burst into laughter.
After the laughter subsided, it was time to dig for ginseng. Just as the three male educated youths had worried, it was indeed a delicate task. The three rough and clumsy men couldn't get a hand in it, so the two female educated youths had to lie on the ground through the sacks, carefully figuring out how to start.
Yun Shu remembered that in the novels she had read, the protagonists would use small brushes to brush off the dirt when digging for ginseng, but they didn't really have that many tools. They could only pick a few foxtail grasses from the side and then take out a hair tie from their pocket to tie the foxtail grasses together.
“I’ve heard my parents say that it’s best to use a brush to dig for ginseng, but we didn’t bring that up the mountain, so we can only use this.”
Lin Jingshu gave her best friend an appreciative look, and then took out a red ribbon from her pocket.
"We still have red string, but we don't have any of those, so let's use this instead."
"Okay, let's get started."
"Ok!"
Like archaeologists from later generations, Yun Shu and her companion were working up a sweat on the ground. The three male educated youths weren't idle either. Pei Wenyuan stayed behind to keep watch, while Jiang Xiucheng and Chen Ming searched the surrounding area together, preparing to cover up Chen Ming's half-hearted lie.
They worked from dawn till noon, moving from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
Until Yang Yue's distinctive scream came from the distant woods, she finally found her "long-awaited" "accomplice" Xie Guolei, after failing to find Jiang Xiucheng to throw himself into her arms. Jiang Xiucheng and Chen Ming also brought out two sacks of mountain goods, and Yun Shu and the other two finally managed to completely clear the last ginseng root from the ground.
It is about 25 centimeters long, and with the small red fruit on its head, it is about 50 centimeters long. It looks very much like the prototype of the little ginseng spirit in the TV series that Yun Shu watched.
Of course, this also indirectly confirms that ginseng is indeed quite precious.
The ginseng was sold to the county hospital, but the ginseng seeds that look like red beans could be kept for ourselves. They don't need much processing; just drying them is enough. Adding one seed to boiling water is also very beneficial to the body.
So the group carefully picked the ginseng, then wrapped it in a handkerchief, planning to have Pei Wenyuan ride his bicycle to the county town first thing the next morning to sell the ginseng as soon as possible.
Of course, what's more important right now isn't the ginseng, but Yang Yue, who's still calling for help in the distance.
……
This wolf, Qingshan, is neither small nor large; at least now, even if Yang Yue shouts at the top of her lungs, they can still hear her.
Others might not know who Yang Yue was trying to save, but Jiang Xiucheng and his group, who had come from that direction that morning, certainly did. They hadn't expected the snake to be so potent; Xie Guolei still hadn't woken up. Or perhaps they had been too rough and injured Xie Guolei?
Seeing that there were already voices of agreement from all directions, Pei Wenyuan carefully put the ginseng into the sack inconspicuously, and then the group headed in that direction.
After beating him up in the morning, they left that scumbag there to fend for himself. Logically speaking, since the snake only bit Xie Guolei, those two thugs shouldn't have woken up that late, and they should have taken Xie Guolei down the mountain to find the team doctor long ago.
But hearing Yang Yue's shrill cries, Jiang Xiucheng and the others felt that they still had to go and see what was going on, otherwise they might be in trouble if something went wrong.
