Chapter 1729
He really deserves a beating
Seeing that all three sections of the reed had appeared, but the complete reed head was not yet fully exposed, the corners of Wang An's and the other three couldn't help but turn up slightly.
After a while, seeing that the complete rhizome had still not appeared, but two jujube-shaped jujube pits resembling ginseng had appeared on the rhizome, Wang An whispered to Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong:
"Why don't we eat first, and then carry it out? I think there's still a piece of the reed head buried in the soil, and it'll take some time to get it out."
The term "艼" is also called "芋", and either name is acceptable.
This thing is actually the rootlets on the ginseng rhizome, a general term for adventitious roots, whose main function is to help the ginseng absorb nutrients as a whole.
The small, fine tendrils on the head of the plant are called "hairy taro" or "hairy taro".
Those that are over ten years old are called "Shunchangteng" or "Shunchangyu", and are generally conical or uniform in thickness.
Those that are over 15 years old are called "garlic clove taro" or "garlic clove taro," with an enlarged middle section and obvious ginseng-like characteristics.
Only those that are 20 or 30 years old or older are called "jujube-kernel taro" or "jujube-kernel taro," and they are typically spindle-shaped.
It is worth noting that people who do not understand ginseng may mistakenly believe that the jujube pit is the main body of ginseng.
However, in fact, the root of wild ginseng is the root and the main body are the main body, and they should never be confused.
Although the rootstock is part of ginseng, it is a fibrous root that grows from the rhizome of the ginseng, and its age may be very different from that of the main ginseng.
Of course, some wild ginseng roots are destroyed, leaving only a few stems to support the root head and ginseng stalks. Such ginseng roots, if they are old enough and have a good shape, are still very valuable.
Mu Xueli was the first to retract the deer bone skewer in her hand, and sighed:
"I was wondering if the head of the herb had been dug out by the time you arrived, but I didn't expect two more to come out."
But then, Mu Xueli laughed again and said:
"Just by looking at this long root and these two large jujube-shaped roots, I think this ginseng baby must weigh a lot, definitely more than half a pound."
Wang An's expression shifted, and he said with considerable disbelief:
"More than half a jin? Holy crap! Does that mean it's worth eight liang (400 grams)? That's incredible!"
Mu Xueli chuckled and said:
"Hmm, I think it's about right. Look at the rhizomes that are showing now, they're already a year and a half as long as the rhizomes of that six-leaf plant from yesterday. These two jujube-shaped shoots are also quite large. Brother-in-law, do you think the main body below will be as big as a carrot? Hehehehe."
Upon hearing this, Wang An grinned from ear to ear, carefully examined the portion of the rhizome that had already been dug out of the pit, then gave Mu Xueli a thumbs-up and said:
"That makes sense, your analysis is spot on. If it really weighs more than half a jin, this one ginseng seedling alone could sell for over ten thousand, hahaha."
After saying that, Wang An squatted down again, craned his neck to examine the rhizome of this rare ginseng seedling once more.
Upon hearing that this ginseng seedling could fetch an astronomical price of over 100,000 yuan, Wang Li, Mu Xueli, and Huang Zhong all showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Because if the profit sharing is calculated according to Wang An's plan, even Huang Zhong could get at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
That's twenty or thirty thousand yuan in the 80s! What does that mean? It was practically enough to achieve financial freedom in an instant!
After examining it for a while while still lying on the ground, Wang An suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Eat! Eat first! After we eat, we'll carry it out properly. Damn, this time we've really struck gold! Hahahaha!"
After Wang An finished speaking, the four of them took turns using watering cans to help each other wash their hands. Then, they each took out pots, canned meat, and pickled vegetables from their bags and began to eat them heartily.
I must say, this white flour hot pot is really delicious; at least it doesn't make your jaw tired when you chew it.
In less than 10 minutes, the four of them finished the battle, and handed the remaining pots to Xiaobai and Xiaohei. Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong continued to squat next to the ginseng seedling and dig.
Wang An and Wang Li stood by and observed for quite a while before the entire rhizome of the ginseng seedling finally revealed its graceful shape.
The moment the entire rhizome was completely unearthed, Wang Li couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"Holy crap, this glans is really long, it's almost as long as a donkey's penis."
As soon as Wang Li said those words, Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong's hands, which were digging for ginseng, both trembled involuntarily.
The two men probably sensed that something was wrong with them, and immediately put away the deer bone skewers they were holding.
When digging for ginseng, one must be calm, focused, and free from emotional fluctuations.
Otherwise, if you're not careful, the deer bone skewer in your hand will break the ginseng rootlets.
Immediately afterwards, both of them raised their heads and stared at Wang Li's large face with hostile eyes.
Wang An was pondering how big the ginseng seedling must be when he was taken aback by Wang Li's words.
It's mainly because of what Wang Li said; it just sounds so jarring.
It's so good and so long, and it even has a three-section reed head. How can it be associated with a donkey's penis?
Subconsciously, Wang An also glanced at Wang Li with an unfriendly look.
Feeling the intense, deathly stares of three people simultaneously, Wang Li awkwardly forced a smile and stammered:
"Hehe, hehehe, you guys, why are you looking at me like that? Look at this head, its shape, doesn't it look like a donkey's genitals, that dangling thing?"
Without saying a word, Wang An threw a punch directly at him.
Wang Li, who was squatting there looking embarrassed, was suddenly knocked to the ground by Wang An's punch.
After delivering the punch, Wang An said with a look of annoyance:
"Can't you even speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then shut your ass up. And you keep saying 'that thing rattling down there,' I think you're just that thing rattling down there, you damn bastard."
As he spoke, Wang An became increasingly angry. He stood up, walked over, and started kicking Wang Li with his big foot.
Only after kicking Wang Li until he cried out in pain and begged for mercy did Wang An point at Wang Li's nose again, gritting his teeth and cursing:
“Let me tell you, Xiao Wangli, when those two are carrying the clubs, you can’t say a word, you hear me? If you keep talking nonsense next to them, I’ll stuff two stinky socks into your mouth and shut you up.”
Although Wang Li was just making a casual remark, without any intention or purpose, Wang An was still very angry.
The main problem is that Wang Li's words were really too inappropriate.
It's one thing to spout nonsense normally, but to spout it at such an important time as ginseng digging is truly infuriating! (End of Chapter)
