Chapter 171 Ganoderma lucidum

"I heard that the prince bought some old Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng and other things, but I don't know how much it costs." The old man laughed. Listening to this tone, there seemed to be a lot of inventory. Xiao Ran didn't want to search for herbs everywhere and said, "5,000 taels of silver goods."

The old man was upright and again had a large number of Xiao Ran. He knew which powerful man he was and said, "Mr. Xiao is not a local, is he?"

"Xiao has a distant uncle doing business in Yangzhou. Come and have a look."

"Oh, I'm going to order people to prepare. Thirteen 300-year-old goods. Xiao Ran nodded with a smile. It seemed that he deliberately blurred his identity just now, which made this person have some scruples and broke the idea of blacking himself. The medicinal materials of 5,000 taels of silver tickets are only enough for the appetite of two beasts for half a month. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran is a little heartbroken. It seems that he has to go to the mountain once when he is free.

It was not until Xiao Ran, a remote village, summoned out Xiao Jin and Xiaobai and fed a ginseng each. The head of the golden python was already thick and thin. Just revealing the python's head, it occupied a large area of open space. A pair of fist-sized eyes dripped and made a baby-like cry. White-winged Dapeng also stared straight at the burden behind Xiong Anran. Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly and took out two Ganoderma lucidum from the bag and ran out.

"If you eat in this way, no matter how big the family business is, it will be eaten poor." After eating the second medicinal herd, Dapeng rose into the air, and the golden python fell asleep again.

The village ahead is not big, with only 30 or 40 households living in a low thatched house. There is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Each door is open, and there are several big yellow dogs in the courtyard. Seeing a stranger barking wildly. Hearing the dog barking, the sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl walked out of the room, with a thick cloth shirt, but she was about to look watery.

"Rhubarb, don't scare the guests."

The woman moved the yellow dog aside, walked to Xiao Ran and said, "This gentleman, what's the matter?"

Xiao Ran pointed to the well in the yard and said, "Go through here and ask the girl for a bowl of water to drink."

Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't look like waiting for the prodigal son, the girl nodded and said, "Wait, I'll get the bucket."

The well water is sweet and beneficial to people. It has a wide range of functions and is also a must-have for many prescriptions. Reach out to replace the bowl. Xiao Ran took out a few taels of silver, but was returned by the woman with a smile: "This thing is not worth much money. You don't have to be polite."

Xiao Ran smiled, which was indeed simple. He said, "Why are there not many people in the big village? There should be no one farming in winter."

"Uncle Wang's house was built, and the villagers went to help. Dad went to the mountain to collect medicine and left me to cook for everyone at home. I guess it's about time to take a lunch break.

The sound of footsteps is from far to near, and Xiao Ran's ear power is extremely good. Looking towards the entrance of the village, I saw a 40-year-old farmer hurried here with a big basket on his back and a cloth bag in his hand. The girl doubted, "Didn't Dad say he would come back in the afternoon?"

The man didn't care about Xiao Ran's presence. He handed the cloth in his hand to the girl and said, "Quickly, put this thing in the inner room and hide it. This year's tax depends on it.

The girl had not recovered and had been pushed into the house by the man. Before she could ask Xiao Ran's identity, six or seven men in unified cyan clothes had come, and the man's face became ugly in an instant.

"Mr. Ge, why do you have time to come to this poor eraser, do it, Xiuer, get some tea to entertain the guests."

The man called Uncle Ge kicked the word and said, "Liu Laosan, I won't talk nonsense with you. For the sake of all the villagers, as long as you hand over the old mountain ginseng, I won't bother you.

"Well... How can it be? Uncle Ge probably heard it wrong."

"Fot, what my people have seen with their own eyes, and it can't be added."

Uncle Ge looked at Xiuer hiding behind Liu Laosan and said, "Or you will be my little wife, and this mountain ginseng will be regarded as filial to your father-in-law. You can choose by yourself."

Liu Xiu stepped back a few steps again, pulled Liu Laosan's arm, and whispered in his ear, "Dad, just give it to them."

Liu Laosan gritted his teeth and said, "It's really not." If it hadn't been for Liu Laosan's knowledge of several medical skills, he would have been a little king in the village and robbed it. How could there be so much nonsense?

"If you don't drink a toast, you won't be punished. You have to hand it in today. If you don't call, you have to hand it in. Take people away!"

Two Chinese characters used to pull Liu Xiu, but were stopped by Xiao Ran. The two strong men were stopped by the seemingly soft Xiao Ran and could not advance an inch: "The world is so big that it is the imperial land, the shore of the earth, and the king's minister. Which official are you going to forcibly collect this mountain ginseng?

Grandpa Ge looked at Xiao Ran carefully and said, "Reader?"

Xiao Ran smiled and did not respond. Since it's a "eating" person's soft mouth, it's always difficult to turn a blind eye. Just think of it as helping them once.

"Books can read sages at ease and mind their own business!"

Xiao Ran took out the root of ginseng from the burden behind him and handed it over and said, "I bought this mountain ginseng. If you don't have to embarrass you two." Xiao Ran didn't want to punish these scoundrels, but what about after they were beaten away? Maybe for a while, Uncle Ge will definitely bring more people to seek revenge. It is impossible for me to stay in the village all the time. It is these people who suffer, but they are harmed. The current price is not less than this little money.

Uncle Ge was stunned, and the ginseng roots that had just been dug out were full of soil. And the ginseng taken out by Xiao Ran was washed white and slightly suffed. At a glance, it was bought at the pharmacy. The man looked up and down and said, "In this case, I will bypass you and won't be polite next time. Let's go!" Sometimes you have to pretend to be stupid when you know someone, since someone is forced to take the lead. Hundreds of silver ginsengs will be a simple scholar without blinking their eyes? I still know who should be provoked and who should not be provoked.

Liu Laosan looked at Xiao Ran gratefully and was about to kneel down to thank him, but he was lifted up by Xiao Ran: "There is no need to make such a big gift for things outside him. Just think of it as the reward of Xiuer's bowl of well water.

"I really met a nobleman. I must have lunch before leaving. Xiuer's uncle went up the mountain and sent a few pheasants yesterday. Don't dislike it.

Xiao Ran remembered that there was no inn along the way. At noon, the sun was shining again, so he nodded and promised: "Then Xiao is disrespectful."

Stir-fried vegetables, remove the outer old leaves, round and fat cabbage, because it is a dish beaten by frost in a snowy day, tastes sweet and smooth. The green leaves are fresh as if they were just picked from the thorns. Stewed pheasant in a pot, steaming hot casserole is on the square table. The casserole is rough and simple. Put some dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots on the chicken soup, and the soup is yellow and transparent. Tear chicken, dipped in the farmer's homemade soy sauce, with a trace of sweetness in the fresh fragrance, which greatly increases the appetite of Xiao Ran, who is used to eating pub food.

The wine is also a newly brewed sorghum wine, with a faint crimson. At first glance, it looks like wine. Seeing Xiao Ran chewing slowly and enjoying himself, Liu Xiu covered his mouth and smiled and said to himself, "You look like you enjoy eating. Scholars are strange."

With enough wine and food, Liu Xiu is cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the room. The door was knocked open by a young man with mud on his face: "No, Lao Wang Shu dug the foundation to play with a monster. Uncle Liu is well-informed. Go and have a look."

"Monster? Tell me what it looks like."

The young man didn't express it clearly for a long time, and finally said, "It's like a head who can't see his face clearly."

Liu Laosan was shocked and seemed to think of something. Suddenly, he slapped the table and said, "Oh, they are moving the earth on Taisui's head!" Take me to have a look."

"Taisui?" Xiao Ran's footsteps when he was about to turn around also stopped, and his heart was shocked: "Is it really the legendary Ganoderma lucidum? This is a rare treasure in a hundred years. With just a few words, Xiao Ran also followed Liu Laosan to the west of the village. The three square foundations have already been surrounded by lively villagers, and some even lie on the trees high and below zero. Seeing Liu Laosan's arrival, several old men made way.

"Uncle, you are a literate person in our village. Let's see what this is and why you can still move. It's scary."
