“Ginseng, what ginseng?” Qin Shuanglu rushed out, not even finishing her meat, and her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Qin Baishi holding a ginseng root.
“What’s your rush? Don’t break it.” Qin Baishi irritably pushed Qin Shuanglu’s hand away as she reached for the ginseng, carefully placing it on the table.
The Qin family members all stared wide-eyed at the ginseng in front of them, incredulous.
“My goodness, Grandma, are you sure you dug this up from the vegetable garden?” Qin Yang scratched the back of his head, finding it all so fantastical. He’d never heard of ginseng growing in a vegetable garden before.
“Or did I conjure it up?” Qin Baishi snorted. She also found it strange; she hadn’t seen it when picking scallions yesterday, and it suddenly appeared today.
Qin Gang chuckled, “That’s like a windfall! It’s probably a gift from heaven because we’re so poor. This year is our lucky year.”
Yun Zheng smiled knowingly and suggested, “Grandma, I’ve seen this kind of ginseng in a medical book. It must be a hundred years old. Let’s sell it.”
“Yes, we should sell it! That’s a lot of money!” Qin Shuanglu was the first to agree. The family was short of money; with money, they could buy new clothes and eat meat every day!
“A hundred years old, its nutritional value must be very high, right?” Qin Baishi’s eyes darted around, looking at Yun Zheng with affection. “I think we should use it to make soup for Nannan. She’s too thin and needs to be properly nourished.”
Qin Shuanglu shouted excitedly, “Mom, are you crazy? You’re going to use something so valuable to make soup? Do you think Yun Zheng is a princess? You can buy whatever nourishing food you want with the money from selling it. Don’t be so foolish!”
“Shut up!” Qin Baishi glared. “Do you even have a right to speak now?”
Yun Zheng hugged Qin Baishi’s arm and shook it gently, saying coquettishly, “Grandma, I’m perfectly healthy now. We need money at home, so let’s sell it.”
She had gone through so much trouble to get this, she couldn’t really use it to make soup.
“Alright, then I’ll sell it.” Qin Baishi thought for a few minutes, then handed the ginseng to Qin Gang.
“Gangzi, you’re fast on your feet. Take it to the pharmacy in town. I know a good person there; he won’t cheat you. He’ll definitely pay for it.”
“Mom, why don’t I go? I’m fast too,” Qin Shuanglu said with a grin. She figured the money would definitely go to Qin Baishi, and if she sold it, she could always squeeze out some for herself.
Qin Baishi knew exactly what Qin Shuanglu was thinking, but she didn’t care.
The next day, Qin Gang returned with a stack of money. The ginseng had sold for two thousand yuan.
In later times, this might seem insignificant, but in this era, money was very valuable. Two thousand yuan was a huge sum, equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan in later times.
For the Qin family, who had spent half their lives farming, two thousand yuan was a sum they had never seen before. Qin Gang’s hands trembled as he brought the money back. He had no concept of medicinal herbs and initially thought it would only cost a few hundred yuan at most. The fact that the shopkeeper had given him two thousand was like a dream.
Not only him, but the entire Qin family was stunned by the amount, standing there speechless for a long time.
“We’re rich! We’re rich! Our family is rich now!” Qin Shuanglu exclaimed excitedly, her face flushed, rubbing her hands together.
“Mom, let’s go to the market tomorrow and buy some fresh meat, or go out to eat. This money will last us a long time!”
“Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating!” Qin Baishi put the money away, her gaze sweeping over her family members.
“This money… let me make it clear first, the family hasn’t been divided yet, so it’s under my control. Nannan is getting married in a few years, and this money needs to be saved for her dowry, understand?”
