Chapter 38 Centennial Ginseng
Zhou Ran followed Shen Zhian, and they went up the mountain together.
After walking for a while, I didn't see anything.
Shen Zhian was not in a hurry, but Zhou Ran became anxious.
It seems that picking up the hare and catching the fish was just a coincidence. I don't have the luck of the koi like Xu Jingya.
I continued walking for a while and didn't encounter any game, but I didn't get nothing. There were a lot of fungi on the mountain, and there were also bamboo shoots.
In the spring season, the taste of these spring bamboo shoots is very good.
Zhou Ran dug half a basket of spring bamboo shoots. If it wasn't too heavy, she could dig some more and take them back.
After all, it was not convenient to walk on a mountain road. She was not very strong and it was a bit unbearable to carry things and heavy loads.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Ran stopped to take a breath.
Oops, climbing a mountain is so tiring, especially when you are carrying something on your back.
Seeing Zhou Ran like this, Shen Zhian knew that the little girl probably had no strength, so he stretched out his hand and took the basket from Zhou Ran.
"I'll help you carry it."
Before Zhou Ran could refuse, the basket was already in Shen Zhian's hands, so he didn't even have time to say no.
"Well, Shen Zhiqing, I'd better carry it myself. I've already asked you to accompany me up the mountain. How can I ask you to help me carry something again..."
But Shen Zhian said with a nonchalant look, "It's okay, I'm strong, I'll carry it. Now that you've used up all your strength, we can't continue going up the mountain."
Zhou Ran knew how much he weighed.
If she insists on not letting Shen Zhian help, it will only bring more trouble to others.
Forget it, let him carry the things on his back.
These things were a bit heavy for Zhou Ran, but Shen Zhian didn't seem to feel the weight.
The two of them walked about a few hundred meters when Shen Zhian suddenly stopped and Zhou Ran bumped into him without paying attention.
This man's figure was really as strong as a stone pillar. Shen Zhian still remained unmoved when he was hit by such a big body.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ran asked quietly.
Shen Zhian whispered, "There is movement in the grass."
Zhou Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, it could be game.
Thinking this way, Zhou Ran became excited.
"I'll go take a look." Shen Zhian said.
"good!"
Zhou Ran obediently stayed where he was, trying not to make any noise so as not to startle things in the grass.
Waiting for Shen Zhian to walk over, he opened up the grass and found two pheasants and a nest of pheasant eggs.
Shen Zhian caught the two pheasants with quick eyes and hands. When Zhou Ran saw that he had caught the pheasants, he stepped forward and picked up all the pheasants in the nest.
There are quite a lot of wild eggs.
It's just that the size of wild eggs is too small, not as good as normal eggs, but slightly larger than quail eggs.
Zhou Ran counted them, and there were twenty-three in total. They were a little too small, but they were enough for two meals.
"Shen Zhiqing, we are really lucky." Zhou Ran said with excitement on his face.
Zhou Ran suddenly realized something at this moment, his and Xu Jingya's koi luck seemed to be different.
In the original work, Xu Jingya can knock down these good things alone.
As for myself, the few times I encountered wild game, it was always when I was with Shen Zhian.
The first time she went up the mountain, she met the hare alone, but Shen Zhian was on the mountain at that time.
The next few times Zhou Ran went out to hunt hogweed alone with the little carrot head at home, he didn't encounter any game on the mountain.
So, to unlock the luck of the koi carp, she must work with Shen Zhian?
Zhou Ran felt that it was now deviating further and further away from the original plot.
In the original novel, the scheming male co-star was originally her nemesis, but now, luckily, he has become her lucky star.
Shen Zhian held the heavy wild boar in his hand, nodded and said, "Yes."
When he went up the mountain alone, he encountered wild game after several visits.
Zhou Ran and I got two pheasants on our last trip to the mountain. We were really lucky.
After harvesting two pheasants and a nest of eggs, Zhou Ran planned to go back down the mountain with Shen Zhian.
Two pheasants, one for each person, the Zhou family can have extra meat today.
I originally thought this trip would be fruitful, but I didn't expect another surprise when I came down the mountain.
Shen Zhian squatted down.
"Shen Zhiqing, what did you discover again?"
Shen Zhiqing pointed to the ground and said, "There is a ginseng plant here."
Zhou Ran; "!!!"
Look, isn’t this luck just coming?
Ginseng is a valuable thing.
Shen Zhian had already squatted down and started digging.
Zhou Ran accompanied him excitedly.
It took a while before Shen Zhian dug out the ginseng.
Zhou Ran didn't know much about ginseng. He was a science student and grew up as an orphan. How could he understand these things?
However, she saw that the ginseng in Shen Zhi Anshou's hand was quite large, in good condition, and well dug.
Zhou Ran said, "The vintage of this ginseng should be pretty good, right?"
Shen Zhian nodded, "Well, this one is at least a hundred years old."
Zhou Ran took a deep breath.
My luck today is incredible.
Centenary-year-old ginseng.
She just doesn't understand the market, but she also knows common sense.
Ginseng is inherently good, but the older it is, the more expensive it is.
A century-old ginseng like this could be sold for millions in the 21st century.
A suite in a second-tier city.
Even in this day and age, there shouldn't be any problem selling a hundred-year-old ginseng for hundreds or even thousands.
Shen Zhian took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the ginseng.
The two continued down the mountain.
On the way, Shen Zhian asked, "What are you going to do with this ginseng? Will you keep it for yourself or sell it?"
Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, "Ah? You ask me? You discovered this ginseng, you dug it, it should be yours, it's up to you to decide what to do with it."
Although he knew that ginseng was a good thing and could be worth a lot of money, Zhou Ran didn't care about it.
She knew that if Shen Zhian hadn't discovered it, there would be no reason to divide her.
Therefore, it is only natural that this ginseng should be returned to Shen Zhian.
Today, she was accompanied up the mountain and she was very satisfied to get a pheasant.
Shen Zhian said, "We went up the mountain together, so we should share our things together. If I didn't come with you, I wouldn't be able to find out."
Shen Zhian said it very seriously, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to break up even if she didn't want to.
It would be a waste to keep such good ginseng for yourself. Both the Zhou family and Shen Zhian are short of money at the moment.
A 100-year-old ginseng should be able to fetch a high price, and Zhou Ran thought it would be best to sell it in exchange for some money.
So Zhou Ran said, "Then sell it."
Shen Zhian also agreed to sell it.
Seeing that Zhou Ran had the same idea as him, he said, "I'll go to the county town tomorrow and ask about the price. If the price is right, I'll make the move."
"Okay." Zhou Ran couldn't hide his excitement.
In this era, there is hope.
If I can go to the mountains with Shen Zhi'an more often in the future, I guess I can make a fortune and lead the Zhou family to live a good life.
