Chapter 5 Laoshan Ginseng Part 1
Pingchuan County is a small county in the Yellow River Basin. It is located in a remote area and has inconvenient transportation. The only way to connect the outside is a highway, so the bus station in the county is the most lively and mixed place. The station covering an area of less than 500 square meters is always crowded with people coming and going, and the air seems to be filled with a smell of sweat.
The entrances and exits of the station are the most lively. In addition to the guests who want to take the bus, the most common ones are hawkers: a small car has a coal ball stove, a basin is placed, and corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes and the like are boiled in the basin.
In addition, it is "sucking a guest". As long as there is a station, there are so-called "black cars". Simply put, it is those cars that do not enter the station and do not pay related fees. Of course, the fare is cheaper than the cars sent in the station. Because the "black cars" do not enter the station, they ask people to squat at the door of the station. When they see someone who wants to take a bus, they go up and take someone else to take a bus. This is the so-called "sucking a guest". Sucking a guest is made by getting a commission.
Gu'an is one of them. He is exposed to the sun all year round, his skin is dark red, he is wearing a half-new and not old clothes, his hair is messy, like a chicken coop, and he is leaning against the iron railing at the entrance and exit of the station.
"Fifth Brother, how is the business?"
Bao Fang was carrying a red plastic bag in his left hand, and took out a cigarette from his pocket with his right hand and threw it to Gu An. Gu An ranked fifth at home, so he called him the fifth brother.
"Bang!"
After lit the cigarette, he took a sip and sprayed out a large ball of smoke. Gu An leaned lazily on the iron railing, shook his head, and said, "Grandma, I haven't pulled a single guest."
Gu An got up from the bed early in the morning and hoped to attract a few customers for Ma Zhuang's "black car" to make some money to buy a gold necklace for Ma Zi. As a result, as the sun was getting higher and higher, no customer was pulled up. How could he not be depressed?
Pointing to the loudspeaker on the top of the station for a moment, Bao Fang said: "That thing is shouting all day long, 'Please be careful, don't take illegally operated black cars', and repeating it all the time, where is our way to live?"
"Yes, I can't get through this day. Ma Zi said that Christmas is coming and I want a gold necklace as a gift. I can't figure out what the old man is doing with Chinese people. He is not as good as the white gold stars. Not to mention anything else, the long strands of long beard of the old man are more cool than the messy beard of the leftover eggs."
Thinking of Ma Zi's attitude that he would not give up last night when he couldn't get the gold necklace, Gu An suddenly became irritated.
"Fifth brother, I have a way to make money, let alone brothers who don't take care of you."
"ah?"
Turning his head to look at Bao Fang, Gu An shook his head and said, "I won't do anything illegal, I will do something dead."
I will be so happy that I will be locked up for a few days after being arrested. I will lose my head if I do pornography, gambling and drugs.
"Fifth Brother, do you think what kind of thing I do?"
Gu An thought for a while and was also happy. The two of them grew up naked. In their impression, Bao Fang was even more timid than him and definitely did not dare to kill the business of his head.
"What are the ways to make money? Tell me."
Bao Fang handed the bag in his hand to Gu An and said, "Fifth Brother, you take a look first."
"What? So mysterious?"
While saying that, Gu An took out the things in the bag. He glanced at it, curled his lips and said, "Ah? Is this thing? Child ginseng? There are a lot of such things in our Luoshan Town, and it can't be sold for a lot of money."
Luoshan Town is a backing town in Pingchuan County. Because the geographical environment is suitable for growing ginseng - it looks like a baby, so it is also called ginseng. Therefore, the ginseng garden is full of things. It is not rare to have too many things, and the same is true for ginseng - dozens of gardens are all grown in this thing, and when pulled, they are all trucks. No one in the local area thinks this thing is valuable.
"Hey, you don't understand this. The child in your hand weighs 6 taels, and it will take more than 500 years to grow so big!"
With a trembling hand, he almost threw the ginseng in his hand aside. Gu An didn't speak naturally, saying:
"Well...isn't it worth a lot of money?"
“Millions are always there.”
"ah!!!"
Gu An shouted, then looked at the child in his hand silly, his mind blank.
Seeing Gu An like this, Bao Fang was startled and said, "Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you?"
As if he hadn't heard Bao Fang's words, Gu An smirked after a while:
"Hehe...this...is getting rich..."
Bao Fang saw that he had been playing big, so he quickly said, "Fifth Brother, this kid's ginseng... was planted in the garden."
"I planted in the garden? I have been planted for 500 years?"
Gu An felt something was wrong, but he couldn't turn around for a while.
"Ah...this..."
Looking at Bao Fang who couldn't speak, Gu An finally came to his senses, grabbed Bao Fang's collar, and said, "Didn't you just say that this kid weighs 6 taels and takes 500 years to grow like this? How could such a thing be planted in the garden?"
"But this is indeed something in the garden. My cousin knew if he had an hour to go to the garden? He dug out this ginseng from the field. It looked quite large, so he took it back and showed it to me for a rare look."
"Bang!"
Gu An slapped the head hard on the wall, and then shouted: "Grandma, I used this thing to fool me, which made me think I'm making a fortune and I'm looking for death!"
Bao Fang’s cousin is Guan Fei. Last year, he opened a small ginseng garden, which is less than 10 acres, and the location is not good and very remote. What good things can be found there?
Bao Fang's neck shrank, and he was in a position to be in trouble and could not say anything.
"But this is a bit weird. I also worked in the garden for a while two years ago. I have never seen such a big child ginseng."
Gu An, who calmed down, looked at the ginseng as thick as a carrot and found it too incredible.
He curled his lips and said, "What's so strange about this? Look at how fast the eels fed contraceptives grow. Can that thing have such speed in the wild?"
Real wild ginseng has basically been dug out. In order to meet the needs, people will naturally grow it. It is normal to add some fertilizer to grow an amazing size in this process.
"Hey, you're right, it's nothing strange if you're such a big kid."
With a "bang", the ginseng in my hand was thrown back into the bag. Gu An said, "What a pity, if it really has been 500 years, we two will make a fortune."
"Don't, Brother Fifth, although it's not a 500-year-old child, it can still be sold for some money."
Shaking his head, Gu An said, "It's only a hundred or dozens. It's all about Lao Niu's nose. I can still concentrate on attracting customers."
Throwing the bag back to Bao Fang, Gu An leaned against the iron railing again, staring at the people passing by the station, and seeing who was suitable for starting.
"Fifth brother, there is no need to think about this kid who has ginseng for millions. It's okay to sell it for a few thousand... For example, those foreigners may be able to sell it after a trick."
Gu An was stunned, pinched his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You really don't want to say it, this may happen."
The ginseng in Bao Fang's hand is big enough. Maybe some people really believe that it is a century-old ginseng or something. If you fool it, you will not have any trouble if you sell it to a foreigner.
"Hehehe~ Brother Fifth, you are very polite, so you have to take the lead in this matter. I beat the side drum. After selling the money, we will add five to two or one. How about sharing the same amount?"
Seeing Gu An agreeing, Bao Fang was also very happy. Two people had to play double acts in this kind of thing, and he couldn't play alone.
Luo Tian held more than a dozen tickets he had just bought. Three days ago, Jiang Tiesheng suffered from a sudden heart attack and finally decided to stop all his work first and return to Guanghai City.
There is only one way to leave. Just like when I came, I took a bus at the Pingchuan County Washing Station, then changed to a train after arriving at Zhanhua City, and then took a plane back to Guanghai City at the provincial capital, Jiangle Provincial Airport.
After leaving the station's door, Luo Tian walked towards Fang Ru and others who were gathering together on the side.
"Have you bought the ticket?"
Fang Ru saw Luo Tian coming and immediately came over.
Nodded, Luo Tian said, "Yes, Teacher Jiang, how do you feel? If you don't feel comfortable, we can leave another day."
In fact, after eating the Ba Du Red meatballs for three days, Luo Tian could no longer see the black gas in Jiang Tiesheng's heart. At this time, the inquiry was for the sake of safety.
"Ha, Mr. Luo, I feel like I'm not doing anything, and I seem to be better than before."
When it comes to this matter, Jiang Tiesheng himself found it incredible. It would be good if he had a sudden heart attack at his age to save his old life. His body would definitely become extremely weak afterwards, but he felt that his spirit was even stronger than before!
Improper treatment of heart disease will definitely cause great damage to the body, even more so for older people. However, after Luo Tian used witchcraft to treat it, he added the effect of Bapo Red Pigs to save the heart, so it is not surprising that Jiang Tiesheng has this feeling.
"Okay, then let's go into the station. The car will drive in half an hour."
Luo Tian said as he wanted to pick up the luggage placed on the ground.
"This... do you want ginseng?"
Luo Tian was stunned, straightened his body and looked back, and found that there was a person standing beside Fang Ru at some point. He was not tall, a little thin, with a messy hair like a chicken coop, wearing used ordinary clothes, and holding a plastic bag in his hand.;
