Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Inside the Kaitang County Medical Bureau.

Mao Xi brought all the dried Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium and asked the medical officer of Huimin Medical Bureau to evaluate them.

"Ms. Ah Miao, your Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium are of the highest quality, but do you still have some in stock?"

Mao Xi knows that rare things are more valuable, and the Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium in the greenhouse have not yet been successfully cultivated, so she only brought half of the inventory to sell here.

"Medical Officer Song, you also know that these medicinal materials grow in deep mountains and are difficult to collect. These good-quality medicinal materials are carefully selected. I use the small pieces of Ganoderma lucidum to make stew and sell it. "

Medical Officer Song held the largest Ganoderma lucidum and said to Shu Xi: "If there is a Ganoderma lucidum of this quality in the future, remember to leave it to me and I promise not to treat you badly."

The Gongzhong Pharmacy Bureau has a large demand for Ganoderma lucidum, and Medical Officer Song is worried that there is no good Ganoderma lucidum to pay tribute this year. For this batch of Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium, he paid ten thousand dollars to Mao Xi.

Ten coins equals one gold, so she can collect just enough twenty gold to buy a small house in Lihua Town. She has already scouted the house with Fang Ya, and the transfer amount is exactly twenty gold.

Mao Xi was about to leave the pharmacy when Doctor Song called out to him again.

"Ms. Ah Miao, I wonder if you have wild ginseng. The pharmacy is in short supply. A whole wild ginseng is worth fifty taels."

Medical Officer Song opened his palm and waved it in front of Mao Xi's eyes.

"Five taels! So valuable? But there are many venomous snakes in the Nagano mountain ginseng area, which is too dangerous, so I rarely collect it." Mao Xi said worriedly.

Doctor Song turned around and took a bottle of elixir and realgar powder from the medical cabinet and gave it to Mao Xi, saying: "This is the "snake bite solution". If you are unfortunately bitten by a snake, just squeeze out the poisonous blood and drink this elixir to cure it." Snake venom; this is realgar powder, as long as you sprinkle it next to wild ginseng, there will be no poisonous snakes within three feet."

Mao Xi gladly accepted the antidote and realgar powder: "Thank you so much, medical officer! I'll go up the mountain to try my luck tomorrow."

Mao Xi thought in her heart: As long as she picked two more wild ginseng, the running money of the two shops would be enough.

At this time, an expert snake catcher happened to come to the hospital to sell snake gallbladder to Medical Officer Song. He saw that Medical Officer Song gave "Snake Bite Solution" and realgar powder to Mao Xi, and reminded:

"Little lady, my grandfather used to be a ginseng picker. Now it's hard to find wild ginseng. Otherwise, I wouldn't have changed my career and caught snakes. The mountains are dangerous, not only snakes but also beasts. If you're unlucky, a piece of rotten wood will fall from a high place." If it falls everywhere, it will kill you.

If you are afraid of snake bites, before entering the mountain, remember to build a door-shaped mansion with three stones, insert a few twigs, and kneel down to worship the old master in the mountain; for odd-numbered people entering the mountain, one ginseng counts as one person, and for even-numbered people leaving the mountain , I guarantee that everything goes smoothly for you. "

"Thanks for the reminder, uncle." Mao Xi silently wrote down the old expert's warning.

Recalling that she was almost bitten by a snake when she went into the mountains to dig ginseng, Shui Xi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It was Brother Mu who killed the snake in time that day and saved him.

Early the next morning, Mao Xi told Chen and Lou Laner about their plan to go up the mountain to collect ginseng, and then went up the mountain alone with a basket on his back.

She brought rhubarb and small rat bamboo tubes with her. This time, she took the same old path she had taken before picking ginseng.

Before entering the mountain, Mao Xi followed the reminder of the old snake-catching expert and built an old man's house with stones at the place where he entered the mountain. He inserted a few twigs in front, knelt down three times and said silently: "I hope that today's ginseng harvesting will go well." .”

Ginseng likes moist shady slopes or dense grass in the forest. She held a long branch and carefully plucked the grass along the way, for fear of missing a single ginseng.

After searching for two hours in the deep mountains, no wild ginseng was found.

Just when she was about to give up, Rhubarb barked in front of her, and the little squirrel also burrowed into the grass.

Mao Xi ran over, and his hard work paid off! Finally, I found red ginseng fruit among the dense grass.

She sprinkled some realgar powder around, squatted down, and used a bamboo piece to dig out the ginseng roots from the soil bit by bit until the entire root was dug out.

Mao Xi dug out a piece of moist moss from the edge, wrapped the ginseng in it to keep it fresh, tied it up and put it in a bamboo basket.

Then she continued to search forward. She gave the ginseng fruit to the little rat and the big yellow, and the two pets ran away and searched in the grass.

"Zhizhi!" came the cry of the little spirit rat from the front.

The second wild ginseng was found quickly. Mao Xi sprinkled some more realgar powder and dug the soil on her stomach.

"Ah Shao! Are you there?"

Mu Zhiyuan's voice came to his ears.

"Brother Mu, I'm here!" Shui Xi stood up.

When Mu Zhiyuan saw Shu Xi, he ran over: "Ah Shu, why did you come here alone to pick ginseng?"

Mao Xi lay down and continued to dig the soil with the bamboo blade: "The ginseng market has been good recently, so it can be sold at a good price! Brother Mu, how did you know I was picking ginseng here?"

Mu Zhiyuan stood and looked around, fearing that another ginseng-guarding snake would appear: "I didn't see you in the shop today. Aunt Chen said you went into the mountains to collect ginseng, so I followed the mark you left."

Mao Xi dug out another piece of moss, wrapped the ginseng, tied it up and put it in a bamboo basket.

"Oh, what's wrong!" Mao Xi suddenly shouted out, "The old snake-catching expert said that when entering the mountain, odd-numbered people should enter and even-numbered people should leave. Now I went into the mountain alone and picked two ginseng. I even picked ginseng. There are three people in total, and it’s an odd number! It’s unlucky.”

"This is not easy!" Mu Zhiyuan took a ginseng from the basket on Mao Xi's back and put it in his hand, "You take one and leave the mountain first, and I take one and then leave the mountain, that's all!"

After successfully getting out of the mountain, Mu Zhiyuan accompanied Shui Xi to Kaitang County to find Dr. Song from Huimin Medical Bureau.

Doctor Song stroked the wild ginseng with both hands and couldn't put it down: "Oh, I have never seen such a good-looking wild ginseng. You even wrapped it in wet moss for me. This kind of fresh wild ginseng can be preserved for several months." Where’s the moon!”

Medical Officer Song gave Mao Xi ten taels of silver as agreed. Because the food that Mao Xi brought was in good condition, fresh and wrapped in moss, the medical office gave him an extra taels of silver.

Today, he went to the mountain to pick ginseng and earned a full gold or tael from two ginseng. Now, Mao Xi had the confidence to go to Lihua Town and buy that small house.

"Ah Shu, you haven't told me yet why you ventured into the mountains to dig ginseng today?" Mu Zhiyuan asked along the way.

"Brother Mu, I want to buy a house in Lihua Town!" Shui Xi smiled and got on the donkey cart, and rushed to Liu's Fruit Cake Shop with Mu Zhiyuan to find Fang Ya and the landlord with Chen.

Since the price of selling the house had been negotiated with the landlord before, Shuang Xi gave the landlord 20 gold and gave Fang Ya 10% of the dental fee in total, which was 20 taels. He also had to pay a tax of 4 taels to the government. Also handed over to Fang Ya.

Mao Xi thought to herself, the intermediary fees in ancient times were so expensive!

After going to the government office to transfer the property and successfully obtain the house deed, Mao Xi quickly found the carpenter foreman and asked him to make three new beds and some furniture.
