70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 123 Ginseng
Xie Xiaonian looked at the empty room again, feeling like it was just a dream.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no more medicine in her space, and less dried and dried meat, she would have suspected that everything just now was fake.

Xie Xiaonian didn't have any thoughts of continuing to sleep at this time, and entered the space after closing the door.

In order to prevent himself from missing Xu Zhongjun all the time, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly found work for himself in the space to keep himself busy, so that he would have no time to think about other things.

And Xu Zhongjun here left the village and walked a long way before getting into the military vehicle that had been waiting there by the side of the road.

"Are you going to Fangzi?" As soon as Xu Zhongjun got into the car, Director Zhao, the doctor accompanying the army, asked anxiously.

"Here!" Xu Zhongjun took out the prescription from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

Director Zhao hurriedly took it over excitedly, and after carefully reading it twice with the light of the flashlight, he said happily: "It's really great. I'll call people to start making and experimenting immediately when I get back. If the medicine is really effective If it’s better than what I’m using now, I’ll definitely apply to the army and give your wife a credit.”

"It doesn't matter whether you remember the merit or not, as long as the medicine is useful and can help your comrades in arms. This is a new medicine prepared by my wife. If you see which one is in short supply, use it first." Xu Zhongjun took the largest cloth bag in his hand Handed it to Director Zhao.

Xu Zhongjun didn't say to give him all the medicine. After all, it was the medicine his wife made for him. Now it's not an emergency, so he has to keep some.

As for the matter of credit, Xu Zhongjun didn't take it to heart.

"What's in here? Why do I smell the smell of meat?" Zhang Fengyu, who was on the mission together, has a particularly sharp nose. He could smell the smell of meat from the moment Xu Zhongjun got into the car.

Although Xie Xiaonian made it for himself, Xu Zhongjun is not a stingy person, so he directly opened the cloth bag and took out the oiled paper bag inside.

As soon as the oiled paper bag was taken out, a spicy and spicy smell came out, causing people to swallow their saliva unconsciously.

Although Xie Xiaonian said that there were jerky and dried meat inside, Xu Zhongjun hadn't opened it yet, so he didn't know what was inside.

After Xu Zhongjun opened it, he saw dried meat inside, cut into square red meat slices, dotted with red chili powder and white sesame seeds, the surface was shiny and the color was very attractive.

When the others saw how delicious it was, and it was still meat, one by one, they immediately reached out, picked up a piece and put it in their own mouths.

After taking a bite, I realized that it was so delicious, and I couldn't help but speed up my eating.

In the compartment where Xu Zhongjun was sitting, there were 10 people in total, including Director Zhao who was waiting here, a total of 11 people. These people ate up a large bag of dried pork in a short time.

After eating one by one, still not satisfied, staring at the cloth bag in Xu Zhongjun's hand like a wolf.

There were two paper bags in the cloth bag, the one that was eaten up was dried meat, and the other one was probably dried meat.

However, Xu Zhongjun didn't plan to share the remaining jerky with his comrades, otherwise he would definitely not be able to eat as much as before.

The main reason was that Xie Xiaonian was afraid that Xu Zhongjun would suspect the origin of the meat, so he didn't pretend to be much, so it should be a treasure like Xu Zhongjun, and it would be gone after eating it.

Seeing that Xu Zhongjun put away the cloth bag and didn't plan to feed them any more, all of them showed disappointed eyes, but fortunately, everyone was more content, even if they couldn't eat, they didn't say anything, after all, they just ate There are quite a few.

Then one by one, they began to exaggerate Xie Xiaonian's craftsmanship.

"I didn't expect my sister-in-law not only to be good at medicine, but also to be so good at it."

"That's right, it's really profitable to find such an excellent daughter-in-law."

"That's right, I can't wait to meet my sister-in-law, to see what kind of girl is so capable."

Listening to the discussions of his comrades, Xu Zhongjun felt very happy, even the little sadness of being eaten up just now was gone.

Although Xu Zhongjun only came back for a while, Xie Xiaonian was still in a good mood the next day, with a smile on his face when he went up the mountain.

"What's good about you, so happy?" Seeing that Xie Xiaonian was in such a good mood, Li Zhenzhu asked curiously.

"Could it be that Xu Zhongjun sent a letter back?" Liu Yifan also guessed.

Because before Xu Zhongjun sent a letter back, Xie Xiaonian would be in a good mood, so Liu Yifan guessed like this.

"I won't tell you guys!" Xie Xiaonian smiled mysteriously, and said confidentially.

The matter of Xu Zhongjun's return cannot be revealed to the outside world, but even if no one shares it, Xie Xiaonian is still in a good mood.

Because he was in a good mood, Xie Xiaonian cooked a lot of delicious food at noon, the three of them didn't finish the meal for the first time.

After eating, Xie Xiaonian said: "I haven't been to my uncle's house for a long time, I will go tomorrow, so I won't be with you."

"It's good to have relatives. If you have nothing to do, you can go and see." Li Zhenzhu said dejectedly.

"You have me and Liu Yifan here, we are your relatives, no, closer than relatives."

Seeing that Li Zhenzhu was a little depressed, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly comforted her.

"That's right, you still have us." Liu Yifan added, in fact, what he wanted to say was that you still have me, but he didn't have the courage yet.

Li Zhenzhu just felt a little emotional, seeing that the two of them took it seriously, she immediately said with a smile: "Yes, I still have you, there is nothing to be sad about, hehe."

Seeing that Li Zhenzhu had returned to her previous appearance, Xie Xiaonian felt relieved, she was really not very good at persuading others.

Because the uncle and the second uncle wanted to buy a dowry for themselves, so that they could hold their heads high in her in-law’s house, live happily, and no longer suffer like her mother, so they spent a lot of money on the dowry. A feeling of wanting to wipe out the family.

But the two families of the eldest uncle and the second uncle each have a large family, and the third cousin of the second uncle’s family has to prepare a dowry. Now the second uncle has spent so much money for her dowry. What can I do.

Although the third cousin will get married in the twelfth lunar month of next year, the second uncle's family can't save much money in a year.

So Xie Xiaonian took 3 roots of ginseng from the pharmacy in addition to preparing what he would bring to his uncle's house tomorrow.

It just so happens that the eldest cousin has a connection, and he can help sell it at that time, so that the uncle and the second uncle's family will not be so tight.

And Xie Xiaonian took out 3 sticks, not two, because she was afraid that her uncles would not want them. If she took out 3 sticks, plus she happened to have one for her family, it would be easier to convince the uncles to accept it.

Because there is indeed wild ginseng on the mountain here, and some people in the nearby villages dug it up a few years ago, and when Grandpa Xie Xiaonian was alive, he also dug up one, but the year was a little short, so he gave it to drink.

So it's not too abrupt for Xie Xiaonian to take out the ginseng.

The three ginsengs that Xie Xiaonian took were all about 3 years old. As the saying goes: "Seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures." The seven taels and eight taels here are calculated according to the old name of 100 taels. The current 16g.

As for the ginseng Xie Xiaonian took, each weighed more than 7 taels, but less than 8 taels, so that it wouldn't be too eye-catching, and it wouldn't be too expensive.

Because Xie Xiaonian's dowry, except for the furniture, is almost ready, and now is the season to store dried vegetables, so when Xie Xiaonian arrived at the uncle's house, the eldest sister-in-law and the two cousins ​​were busy drying beans at home.

Seeing Xie Xiaonian coming, the eldest concubine said, "Xiao Nian, why are you here at this time? Are you hungry? I'll cook for you." The eldest concubine still remembered that when Xie Xiaonian came last time, she was hungry in the middle of noon thing.

"I'm not hungry, eldest concubine, don't be too busy, I have something to come to you and uncle, it's best to call second uncle and second concubine too." Xie Xiaonian continued.

"What's the matter, Xiao Nian, I want to call your second uncle and the others here now, don't let anything happen." The eldest sister-in-law felt her legs were a little weak when she said that, and she was especially afraid that something might happen to Xiao Nian.

Sun Fengke had heard a lot about what happened to Li Zhi recently, and she was really afraid that Xie Xiaonian would be implicated by it.

And the two cousins ​​also looked at Xie Xiaonian worriedly, even the children in the yard stopped playing and looked straight at Xie Xiaonian.

Seeing everyone's actions, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly said: "Young lady, you don't have to worry, it's a good thing, you'll know later, and do I like to make trouble or let others bully me so much?" Xie Xiaonian said coquettishly.

And Xie Xiaonian insisted that the second uncle and the others be present because of her considerations.

Although the relationship between the uncle and the second uncle's family is very good, Xie Xiaonian doesn't want to use this to test the relationship between the two families.

In front of the uncle and the family members of the second uncle's family who took out the ginseng together, they would not be suspected of hiding the possibility of private possession. After all, this is a lot of wealth.

Although it feels a little unnecessary, Xie Xiaonian still wants to do this. After all, the money for this ginseng requires a large family to save for 4 or 5 years.

Seeing that Xie Xiaonian said it was a good thing, the elder concubine was a little relieved, and asked Guangmu to go to the second uncle's house to call someone.

After everyone arrived, leaving the children in the yard for Fu Ling to watch, Xie Xiaonian led the adults in the family to the main room. For safety's sake, Xie Xiaonian turned around and closed the door.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw a dozen people looking at her, waiting for her to speak.

Xie Xiaonian was so mysterious that everyone's curiosity was aroused.

At this time, Xie Xiaonian felt that she seemed to be a bit overdone, so without talking nonsense, she quickly took out the cloth bag containing ginseng, opened it and put it on the table.

After opening it, Xie Xiaonian saw that everyone in the room was staring at the 3 ginseng placed side by side on the table.

Then I heard the uncle say excitedly: "Xiao Nian, where did you get this, this is ginseng, there are still three."

"That's right, Xiao Nian, these ginsengs are all treasures." Because the second uncle has been practicing medicine all year round, he can see the value of these ginseng at a glance.
