Jiang Youzhi whispered: "I've been looking for a way for a day today, and I finally got in touch with a steward of King Kang's Mansion. He heard that it was wild ginseng that has been around for more than 300 years. , they want it."

He continued, "I made an appointment with the steward tomorrow."

"Tomorrow morning, I plan to take Ah Hu to Prince Kang's mansion, so don't go there, just wait at the inn."

Gu Yunjiao nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

She thought for a while, "However, Prince Kang's mansion may not be willing to pay 8,000 taels of silver, even if it is less, it doesn't matter."

"Besides, since it's the palace, if they make a bid, we won't sell it, I'm afraid it won't work."

Jiang Youzhi smiled, "Don't worry, King Kang's reputation in Xiangcheng is very good, and he never bullies men and women."

Gu Yunjiao knew that the powerful and powerful of this era can kill people with the touch of a finger, so she said worriedly, "Then be careful yourself."

Jiang Youzhi naturally knew that this was the reason why he didn't let Gu Yunjiao go.

He nodded, "However, you have to tell me what this ginseng has to say, otherwise I will go tomorrow, and people will ask me, but I don't know."

The two went upstairs again, Gu Yunjiao asked Jiang Youzhi to bring the oil lamp from his room, and then closed the door.

Only then did he take out the bag and open it, and inside was a brocade box.

Seeing this box, Chen shi was amazed. This brocade seems to be cloud brocade, which shows that the Dingxi here must be very precious.

Gu Yunjiao carefully opened the box.

I saw a piece of ginseng lying on the fleece inside.

Every root of ginseng is stretched out neatly, and the longest root is tens of centimeters long.

Gu Yunjiao pointed at the reed head of ginseng and said, "Look at the age of ginseng from these aspects."

"The older the ginseng is, the more yellow it becomes."

"The texture is also finer."

"Lu Yuan will grow longer and longer here."

"Look at the reed bowl. Look here, there is a small trace."

"Ginseng grows new stems from the reed head every year. After it withers and falls off in autumn, there will be a trace left here. This is called the reed bowl."

"Basically, you can tell how many years the ginseng has grown by counting the reed bowls on the reed head."

"There are also some reed bowls that are not very clear, and this has to be judged in combination with other parts."

Gu Yunjiao then said a lot to Jiang Youzhi, telling him how to judge whether a ginseng is wild ginseng from various angles.

After Gu Yunjiao finished speaking, Jiang Youzhi handed her the tea on the table and nodded, "Well, I generally know."

"Put things away first, I'll come and get them tomorrow morning."

Gu Yunjiao took a sip of tea, closed the box, and wrapped it in a furoshiki as it was.

Chen shi looked at the burden, and his breathing was a little hard.

She is also somewhat knowledgeable. Looking at such a large piece of ginseng, she knows that it must cost a lot of money.

She also understood just now that this thing is going to be sold tomorrow.

She decided not to sleep tonight and just guarded the box.

When she woke up the next morning, Gu Yunjiao found that Chen's face was blue, her eyes were dark, and she kept yawning.

Gu Yunjiao said, "Mother, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Chen Shi waved his hand, "I didn't sleep well, I'll catch up later."

Gu Yunjiao called her to go down for breakfast, but the Chen family refused to leave, "You guys eat first, I'll have something to eat later."

Gu Yunjiao didn't know what happened to the Chen family. Seeing that she didn't seem to be sick, she went downstairs by herself.
