Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Chapter 157 If there is an elder in the family, what if there is a treasure?

"The risk is too great and not worth it!" Han Li thought about it all the way but couldn't think of a more perfect solution.

He also thought about getting some relatives to buy a cross-courtyard house together and then rebuild it; that would indeed be affordable, but the problem is that the subsequent reconstruction would require a large sum of money, which he probably couldn't afford.

Han Li was worried that if he bought the land across the courtyard and still couldn't activate the system, that would be a disaster for both himself and others.

In the end, I had to give up the idea.

The most important thing is that you don’t know until you think about it. Once you think about it, you will be shocked. Han Li was surprised to find that he had almost lost his source of income.

Being a closed disciple brought no benefits, and being a tutor in the Lou family also meant no income. He could only earn a little extra money occasionally to make ends meet.

It's not enough to describe it with just one word: "miserable"!

There was nothing he could do; Han Li could only smile bitterly and let go of the harm that fate had inflicted on him.

As soon as he returned to the front yard of No. 95 Siheyuan, Han Li smelled the aroma of meat, which came from his own house. He couldn't help but mutter curiously: "What good day is today? You are willing to buy meat to improve the food? Is it someone's birthday?"

Han Xiaoxiao ran to the door excitedly: "Big pot~"

Han Li smiled at his sister and was about to park the car when he saw a familiar figure appear in the house, which surprised him so much that he was dazed.

"Master Xiao Han."

After coming to his senses, Han Li suddenly realized that something was wrong. If Qin Dachun hadn't had something important to do, he wouldn't have come to the capital, but this door wasn't the place to talk.

Han Li parked the car and greeted him with a warm smile, "Brother Dachun, come and sit down."

After entering the room, he saw that there was already tea and some candies and snacks on the table. It was obvious that Qin Dachun was being treated as a distinguished guest.

Qin Dachun looked outside the door and obviously looked like he wanted to say something.

Han Li grabbed a candy and gave it to his sister: "Xiaoxiao, go play at the door for a while."

"Okay!" Han Xiaoxiao took the candy and ran away happily.

"Master Xiao Han, my cousin dug up a ginseng. He has never sold such a valuable herb before, and he doesn't trust others, so he came to me and asked me to help him find a buyer."

After saying that, Qin Dachun carefully took off his coat and placed the clothes on the table.

Han Li knew that this was for safety reasons. The ginseng was sewn on the clothes, so he spoke out to stop them: "Don't take it out in a hurry, wait a while. By the way, how old do you think this thing is?"

Seeing Qin Dachun's badly worn vest, Han Li felt really bad. He just hoped that the ginseng could be of a higher age so that Qin Dachun's family's predicament could be improved as soon as possible.

After all, as long as the ginseng is of high age, Qin Dachun can get a commission by selling it directly to Boss Lou without any middlemen making a profit from the difference.

"It must be at least 20 to 30 years. This is the first time I've seen such a big ginseng, so I can't be sure."

Han Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, take your things and follow me."

Then, Han Li brought Qin Dachun to the outer courtyard.

After Qin Dachun took out the ginseng sewn into his clothes, Han Li took the ginseng and observed it carefully for a while. He found that the ginseng was of good quality, with intact roots, and was thirty-three years old.

After thinking for a while, Han Li said solemnly: "How about this, I will give you 10 yuan first, so that you can give an explanation to your cousin when you go back. After the ginseng is sold, I will give you the rest of the money."

"Okay. I'll do as you say."

"You keep coming and going with me. It's so strange. Let's go. The meal should be ready by now. Let's go eat first."

On the way back to the front yard, Han Li specifically reminded him: "This is a favor, but the amount must be clear. Don't just think about helping others, you also have to find a way to make some money to make your life better."

"Master Xiao Han, I understand." Qin Dachun is not a stubborn person. Moreover, his family is in need of money right now, so he must get the errand fee he deserves.

At this moment, Han Li suddenly thought of an idea to make money: "Brother Dachun, when you go back, find your trusted neighbors and relatives to collect cypress leaves and mulberry leaves... You can also tell the villagers with good character about this news when you practice medicine."

All he talked about were common medicinal materials needed in traditional shampoo. When Boss Lou opens a factory to make shampoo in the future, he will be able to make a small profit.

Qin Dachun's face was full of gratitude, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Since meeting Master Xiao Han, his family's life has improved visibly, and they have become more and more hopeful about their days.

After lunch, Han Li rode his bike to take Qin Dachun to the station. On the way, he taught him some medical skills and how to purchase precious medicinal materials.

Originally, Han Li planned to wait until Qin Dachun became familiar with the environment before making any move, but now it seems that this is something that will benefit both of them.

Besides, there is always a first time for everything, so it would be good to let Qin Dachun adapt early.

In addition, whenever Qin Dachun came to the city to deliver medicinal materials, Master Xiao Han would teach him medical skills, which was killing two birds with one stone.

Afterwards, Han Li went to Daguang's house to pick up his aunt and asked the master to treat her.

The good news is that the old man can cure my aunt's illness. The bad news is that it will cost a lot of money to cure it because many precious medicinal materials will be used.

After the diagnosis and treatment, Han Li sent his aunt back with mixed feelings. After all, her son had a blind date that afternoon, and she had to make preparations in advance.

My aunt-in-law expressed her gratitude many times for this matter, and Han Li felt a little embarrassed by her gratitude.

I have to say that having a bicycle is very convenient and it saves Han a lot of time.

After returning to the Xue family courtyard, Han Li obediently became the last disciple.

"You have ginseng with you?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Han Li took out the ginseng and handed it over: "Master, I think it is a 33-year-old ginseng. Can you tell me if it is correct?"

Mr. Xue took the ginseng and looked at it carefully, then said calmly, "Your eyesight is okay."

Then, the old man asked casually: "What are you going to do with this ginseng?"

"Someone is afraid of losing money on the sale, so he asked me to help find a buyer."

Han Li deliberately concealed Qin Dachun's identity, for he was really afraid that the old man would say, "How can you have the nerve to take on an apprentice with your half-baked skills?" That would be really embarrassing, and it would be extremely embarrassing.

"You are planning to sell it to Lou Zhenhua, right?" The old man raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "The Lou family doesn't lack this thing. If you don't plan to be the son-in-law of the Lou family, don't go and make a fool of yourself!"

After being reminded by his master, Han Li suddenly remembered that ginseng that was more than 30 years old was not rare to the Lou family. There was a soup made with ginseng in the last banquet, and it seemed that it was of quite high age.

This means that when the thirty-year-old ginseng was sent to the Lou family, Boss Lou accepted it only out of consideration for their friendship, and not because the ginseng was so precious.

What you think is precious may seem insignificant in the eyes of others.

By then, you will really make a fool of yourself without even realizing it.

After thinking this through, Han Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "It really is true that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure!"
