Chapter 37
Bai Zhi looked at the wild ginseng in her hand. Such a hundred-year-old wild ginseng could sell for at least 200,000 in modern times.
In the 23rd century, there were ginseng farmers who specialized in growing ginseng. The kind of ginseng that was artificially cultivated, with good quality, was only a few hundred thousand dollars a piece. The real 100-year-old wild ginseng has almost been dug by humans. Absolutely, wild ginseng sold on the market is almost all fake, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it.
"Hu Feng, how much do you think this wild ginseng can sell for?" she asked with a smile.
Hu Feng shook his head again: "I don't know."
"No matter how much you can sell, I'll give you half."
Hu Feng raised his eyebrows, this girl is very generous, thinking that we should protect her and give her half, she did not refuse, after all, the family is really too poor and needs money.
She wrapped the ginseng in leaves, put it in a basket, and covered it with some ordinary herbs so that no one could see it when she went back.
Now that she and the Bai family, Jipin, have not separated, if they know about this, will she be able to leave a child behind? Obviously not.
The two returned the same way, but luck came back. On the way back, Hu Feng hunted two pheasants. Although they were not worth much, they were able to sell them to supplement some households.
After going down the mountain, they drank water and rested by the stream. By the way, they dug a pit of yacon, washed them all and put them in the back basket.
Seeing that there was a bamboo forest not far away, Bai Zhi asked Hu Feng to chop down a bamboo as thick as an adult's arm.
Hu Feng chopped the bamboo and threw it in front of her and asked, "What do you want this for?"
She pointed to the stream next to her and smiled: "Uncle Hu and my mother are working in the fields, we are tired and hungry, and the weather is so hot, the water we brought here must be almost enough to drink, the water here is so cool. , let's bring them some past to relieve the heat."
Hu Feng understood, "You are very careful." He took a few bamboo tubes from the moso bamboo, filled them with water after they were fresh and clean, put them in the back basket, and then covered them with leaves and grass.
The basket has sunk a lot again, and Bai Zhi's shoulder is still injured, and every step she takes with the basket is tormented.
She gritted her teeth and endured it, never screaming tired and painful.
Hu Feng was originally walking in the front, but he has deliberately slowed down his pace, but the girl behind him has never been able to keep up with his pace.
He stopped and turned to look at the slender figure walking towards him step by step. Under the sun, her face full of bruises and bruises exuded tenacity and forbearance that ordinary girls do not have.
She frowned all the time, pursed her lips tightly, and supported the bottom of the basket with both hands, as if trying to lighten some weight on her shoulders.
Despite this, bright red blood still oozes from the blue shirt on her shoulders.
He frowned slightly, walked towards her quickly, reached out to grab the basket, and removed it from her back.
With a light back, she looked up at him, sweat almost blinded her eyes, but his tall and fuzzy figure still brought her peace of mind.
"What are you doing?" She rubbed her sore shoulder and looked at Hu Feng in confusion.
Hu Feng took out a pheasant from the cloth bag on his back, "You take this, I'll carry the basket."
He originally carried two big gray rabbits, two pheasants, and a sturdy flower-backed poisonous snake, which was full of cloth bags, all of which were much heavier than her basket, and now he carried the basket on his back.
Hu Feng didn't say much, he turned around and left with the basket on his back.
