Chapter 20 : Scarcity Makes Things More Valuable

Jiang Sui couldn’t hide her excitement because this kind of plot that only happened in novels was actually happening to her. Was her luck too good recently?

So, with this luck, would you consider doing some business in the future?

Jiang Sui wiped her hands on her clothes, then knelt on the ground carefully to pick those Ganoderma lucidum.

She was afraid of damaging the Ganoderma.

Xiao Hechuan saw his wife kneeling on the ground, digging for something. He was a little confused, so he walked behind her and squatted

“Wife, what are you doing?”

He suddenly spoke, which frightened Jiang Sui, who was concentrating so much that her body trembled. Fortunately, she had already picked all three Ganoderma lucidum and put them aside.

Seeing that his wife was frightened by him, Xiao Hechuan became a little nervous and apologized immediately

“I’m sorry, wife, I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Jiang Sui patted her heart, smiled, and shook her head

“It’s okay, I don’t blame you, I was just too focused.”

Xiao Hechuan was relieved to see that his wife didn’t blame him. He saw the three Ganoderma lucidum lying on the ground and his eyes lit up.

“Wow, my wife, what a big mushroom, so beautiful!”

As he spoke, he reached out to pick it up and look at it, but Jiang Sui held his hand and stopped him

“Don’t move, Hechuan, this is not a mushroom, it’s Ganoderma lucidum, which is many times more valuable than a mushroom. Don’t damage it.”

When Xiao Hechuan heard this, three big question marks appeared on his head

“What is lucidum?”

“Ganoderma lucidum is a traditional Chinese medicine, a very valuable traditional Chinese medicine, and it can save lives.” This was the only way Jiang Sui could explain it to him.

Xiao Hechuan nodded, not quite understanding, but to him, whatever his wife said was good, and if she said it was good, then it was good.

In order not to destroy the Ganoderma lucidum, Jiang Sui poured all the mushrooms in her basket into Xiao Hechuan’s backpack.

The two turned around to find Xiao Lanlan to tell her the good news. Lanlan was picking mushrooms seriously and had never thought that such great luck would come again.

When she saw the Ganoderma lucidum in the basket, she was stunned. She had only heard of this thing but had never seen it. She only knew that it was very valuable and nutritious, and only rich families could afford it.

“Oh my god, sister-in-law, you are possessed by a lucky star. How come you are so lucky?”

Xiao Lanlan covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement.

Jiang Sui scratched her head embarrassedly

“I don’t know either. Anyway, I found them. I estimate that these Ganoderma lucidum must be at least six or seven years old. I just don’t know how much they are worth. It would be best if I could sell them quickly while they are fresh, so I can get more money.”

Xiao Lanlan heard this and nodded in approval

“Well, you’re right. Should we continue looking around here? Just like you said, if it appears, it means there must be more nearby.”

Xiao Lanlan remembered what Jiang Sui had said when they were picking ear mushroom the day before yesterday and put it into practice immediately.

However, this Ganoderma lucidum is not a wood ear mushroom that can grow in tree. Jiang Sui smiled and said

“Lanlan, the reason why this Ganoderma lucidum is rare is because it is not a common thing like mushrooms and wood ears. Scarcity makes things valuable. It is luck to encounter this thing. If it is everywhere, can it still be considered rare?”

There is nothing wrong with what Jiang Sui said. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

“That’s right, Sister-in-law, you really know a lot. I’m a bit vulgar, but I think we should still look for it.”

Xiao Lanlan still wanted to keep looking. Who can resist money?

In this case, Jiang Sui had no choice but to follow her lead, and the three of them started a carpet search with sticks. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time and finding a lot of mushrooms, they never saw any Ganoderma lucidum.

Just when Xiao Lanlan was about to give up, she heard Jiang Sui’s exclamation again not far away. She thought she had found Ganoderma lucidum again, so she ran towards her excitedly and accidentally fell.

When she arrived, she saw Jiang Sui squatting on the ground, Xiao Hechuan standing aside, and no trace of Lingzhi was seen around.

“Where is the Ganoderma lucidum? Where is it?” Xiao Lanlan asked anxiously.

Jiang Sui smiled with her eyes curved, pointed at the two blades of grass in front of her, and said

“We don’t have Ganoderma, but we do have Ginseng!”

Ah? Ginseng? Where is it?

Xiao Lanlan was confused. This was what she thought in her heart and what she actually asked.

“Yes, this is ginseng!”

Jiang Sui continued to point at the two blades of grass in front of her and laughed. In the eyes of Xiao Lanlan and Xiao Hechuan, these were just two ordinary blades of grass with some ordinary leaves growing on them. There was nothing special about them.

Although Xiao Lanlan had never seen it with her own eyes, she had heard people talk about what ginseng looked like. Anyway, it should not look like this.

“Sister-in-law, are you sure you’re not kidding me?”

“Of course I’m not kidding, because ginseng grows under this tree, and you need to be patient to dig it out. Wait, I’ll dig it out for you to see.”

Jiang Sui knelt on the ground again. Fortunately, she brought a small hoe with her when she went out. Otherwise, the soil on the surface was so hard that it would be difficult to scrape it with bare hands.

Jiang Sui used the hoe to loosen the soil on the surface, and then began to dig with her bare hands, removing the soil bit by bit, very carefully, for fear of damaging the rhizome of the ginseng, affecting its perfection, and causing a difference in the price.

Slow work brings out fine work, she herself didn’t know how long she had been pulling, until the nails of both hands were filled with mud, and the ginseng had revealed its true appearance.

After Xiao Lanlan saw it, the appearance of the ginseng gradually overlapped with the descriptions she had heard from others.

Xiao Hechuan was propping his head up and was already drowsy.

Jiang Sui worked there for nearly an hour and finally dug out two ginsengs. Unfortunately, because it was her first time doing this, she broke the roots of one ginseng, so it was not perfect.

The whiskers of these two ginsengs are very dense and long, and the size of the trunks also shows that they are of high quality.

Ginseng is the most demanding, and the roots must be perfectly preserved to be sold at a high price. She was a little frustrated, wondering why she couldn’t be more careful.

“I accidentally broke one of them. We will lose a few taels of silver.”

Xiao Lanlan was distressed, but if it weren’t for Jiang Sui, she wouldn’t know what ginseng was and wouldn’t have made the money, so she consoled her

“Fourth sister-in-law, don’t be sad. Think about it. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to make even one ounce, let alone a few ounces less. It’s better to have something than nothing. Just be more open-minded!”
