693 Entering the Mountain
Besides, how was she going to explain to He Ning that she had hundreds or even thousands of 100-year-old ginsengs? Was she here to do wholesale?
With He Ning’s intelligence, he would soon be able to sense that there was something wrong with her. When he discovered her special ability, she would probably be rumored to be a “spirit” and it was even possible that she would get sent to be dissected.
“Grandfather, be careful when you enter the mountain.” Qiao Mei handed the backpack to Qiao Qiang. Not only did it contain the food and drinks she had prepared for Qiao Qiang, but it also contained the tools he needed to dig up the ginseng.
Qiao Qiang put on his straw hat and walked happily into the mountain. The sun had not fully risen yet and there was some morning dew hanging on the plants. Not long after, the hem of Qiao Qiang’s pants were all wet.!!
He waited until he walked three to four miles, when he was halfway up the mountain, before he started to patiently search for traces of ginseng. The area at the foot of the mountain had already been searched by others, so there would not be any good quality ginseng there.
Even if there was any, it would have been poached long ago.
Qiao Qiang did not find any trace of any ginseng even at noon, but he was not in a hurry. Finding ginseng needed patience and one could not be anxious. The more anxious one was, the more one would not be able to find it.
Qiao Mei did not idle around the entire morning. She went to look for Li Gui with the seeds she had picked out. Although Li Gui was still a little weak, she looked much better after eating a few full meals.
Zhang Wei brought Qiao Mei a glass of water. Qiao Mei secretly took out the small bottle containing the 1,000-year-old ginseng juice and gently poured a little into it. The amount was almost negligible.
However, this little bit was still better than 10 drops of 100-year-old ginseng juice.
Li Gui coughed all the time and would occasionally have gastric pains. Since she did not have money to go for treatment, she could be Qiao Mei’s second “guinea pig”.
“Drink some water.” Qiao Mei handed the glass of water to Li Gui, who obediently drank it all in one gulp.
Now, she listened to everything Qiao Mei said. If she had a different opinion, she would discuss it with Qiao Mei.
“Why is this water different from what I usually drink? It smells a little fragrant.” Li Gui looked at the glass in surprise.
After drinking the water, she instantly felt energetic and refreshed. It felt as if she could even walk 50 miles without any problem.
Over the past few days, her waist had been sore and her body felt weak. After drinking the water, these symptoms seemed to have disappeared.
“Is there any difference? Isn’t it just water from home? Then how do you feel?” Qiao Mei probed.
“I feel so energetic after drinking it. If I had known earlier, I would drink less. I could have let Zhang Miao drink some too. This way, she’ll recover faster,” Li Gui said regretfully.
It was all her fault for being greedy. Otherwise, she could have given some to Zhang Miao.
Qiao Mei originally did not intend to give it to Zhang Miao, but after hearing what Li Gui said, she had a new idea. Yesterday, she had sprinkled ginseng juice on the plants and they could all be revived.
So if she heated up the ginseng juice and soaked the towel in it before applying it to Zhang Miao’s ribs, would it have the same effect?
Zhang Miao was still so young, so the 100-year-old ginseng juice would definitely be too strong for her. Qiao Mei would have to find some time to go to the cave to cultivate more 10 to 20 years old ginseng to extract the juice and then dilute it with water before applying it to Zhang Miao like a medicine.
This way, maybe Zhang Miao would be able to stand up and go to school with Zhang Wei and the others in less than a month.
“What are you holding in your hand?” Li Gui asked.
Qiao Mei reached into the bag and took out a handful of melon seeds. The shiny melon seeds immediately attracted Li Gui’s attention. This was the first time she had seen such big and good quality melon seeds.
“Did you grow this? I’ve never seen such big ones! This is really good stuff!” Li Gui said excitedly.
“I bought this from the capital. Our local melon seeds can produce about 300 catties per mu of land. If the land is fertile, then maybe a maximum of 500 catties. The person who sold me this in the capital said that this variety of melon seeds can produce at least 800 catties per mu!” Qiao Mei said.
An amount of 800 catties! That was worth a lot of money!
If she planted them in the two mu of land in the courtyard, she would be able to harvest at least 1,600 catties!
It was almost the end of the year and every family would need to buy things for the new year. Even poor people like them would buy melon seeds for the festive season, let alone the families in the county city.
If she could really grow these melon seeds, she would definitely be able to earn a lot of money! It would be at least 300 dollars!
“But it’s going to snow soon. If we want to plant it, we can only do it next year,” Li Gui said regretfully.
