Chapter 28

Before his downfall, the Yun family had been doing the business of reselling medicinal materials, but unexpectedly, the foundation laid by his father had been ruined by his son.

"Let me see." Father Yun is very familiar with medicinal materials and very sensitive. When he heard that Yun Xiuqing had found ginseng, his eyes lit up instantly.

Father Yun lights the candlestick and opens the handkerchief carefully. Father Yun gently picks up the ginseng and stands by the candlestick to watch carefully.

"Dad, do you know ginseng?" Yunxiuqing see cloud father serious appearance, very curious asked.

Father Yun looked carefully with a ginseng in his hand. Hearing Yun Xiuqing's question, he raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Xiuqing: "pure nonsense, what did we do in our family before, do you forget?"

Yunxiuqing had forgotten about it. When his father asked, yunxiuqing remembered that his family used to sell medicinal materials for a living: "well, Dad, please show me how much the ginseng I dug is worth?"

Yun's father nodded and finished the ginseng. He looked back and forth several times. He nodded with his beard, which made Yun Xiuqing very anxious: "Dad, don't look at it by yourself. You have to tell me how much this ginseng is worth."

Father Yun laughingly looked at Yun Xiuqing: "the ginseng leaf of this ginseng has four grades of leaves. It should have been four years, but its leaves are damaged. Look, is there a leaf missing here?"

Yun Xiuqing poked her head and took a serious look. There was a piece missing from the root of the ginseng leaf. The rest of the ginseng leaf was dark green. Only this piece was turquoise green. When she dug it, she didn't see it: "Dad, is this missing leaf affecting the price of ginseng?"

Father Yun shook his head and calmly explained to Yun Xiuqing, "it has an impact. It doesn't have any impact in the eyes of ordinary people. But if you sell ginseng to the pharmacy, it will have an impact. They will say how much damage there is. So how much money should I deduct for you? My father used to be a druggist. Only in this way can I earn money. Do you understand?"

Yun Xiuqing nods, grabs the snake which is lying on the ground and faints. She slaps the snake on the head with her hand. The snake which is about to wake up is knocked unconscious again.

Father Yun was jumped by Yun Xiuqing's action. Although it was dark and he didn't look at the snake carefully, he could also see that it was a poisonous snake: "Oh, qingniang, you should be careful. Don't kill the snake. If the snake is dead, it's not worth money first, and it's not easy to eat second."

Yun Xiuqing touched her head and gave a shy smile. She was angry and wanted to vent her anger, but she was not prepared to explain to father Yun, so that father Yun could not stop nagging: "Dad, don't talk about the snake. You can tell me the price of the ginseng first. I can sell it in the middle of the city in two days."

As soon as yunxiuqing interrupted him, he forgot what he was about to ask and explained to yunxiuqing: "qingniang, you can see that this ginseng has been at least five years. You can see that there is a pit bitten by insects on its main root. There are five kinds of pits from the deepest to the shallowest, which means that it has been at least five years."

"Really?" Yun Xiuqing was surprised to see the ginseng in father Yun's hand, but she didn't see anything for a long time. She was still concerned about the price of the ginseng: "Dad, how much can the ginseng sell?"

"You dig this ginseng very well, and it doesn't hurt the fibrous roots. You can sell it for a good price, at least 300 Liang." Father Yun carefully put it on the table and stretched out three fingers to Yun Xiuqing.

The price was the same as what Yun Xiuqing thought. Yun Xiuqing was not surprised or disappointed. She just felt that she was suddenly hungry: "Dad, I'll cook first, and then I'll continue to talk at the table after I've finished my meal."
