Chapter 18 Unexpectedly, I got a little black dog!
In the evening, the ginseng dealer went directly to Uncle Liu's house to buy ginseng.
Xu Hongshan also followed.
Many people say that wild ginseng is a scam.
However, the value of ginseng has continued from ancient times to the present, and the practice of picking ginseng has existed since ancient times. The scam cannot last that long.
What's more, whenever a family collects ginseng, the ginseng dealer will go over that same evening to quote a price and negotiate the price on the spot.
These ginseng dealers are people who will not do anything without profit.
Xu Yang did not advertise that he had picked ginseng.
After he got home, he got in his van and drove to the big pharmacy in town.
There are many pharmacies in the town.
The main business of these pharmacies is not only selling medicines, but also buying medicines.
They are all shops under big brands, specializing in purchasing wild mountain products here.
For example, Tongrentang, Guangshengtang, Tianyitang, Aodong Pharmaceutical, Harbin Pharmaceutical Factory No. 6, etc.
Xu Yang compared prices from three different shops and first took the Polygonum multiflorum to ask the price from each shop.
The Polygonum multiflorum that Xu Yang dug up was weighed and weighed 13.6 kilograms. It was very large. It was also wild Polygonum multiflorum, a rare Chinese herbal medicine.
Ordinary Polygonum multiflorum weighs only about 30 to 41 kilograms, but this large wild Polygonum multiflorum is expensive.
After all, wealthy people seek quality in medicine and pay more.
Finally, Xu Yang sold Polygonum multiflorum to Guangshengtang for a total price of 4500 yuan.
Seeing that the price offered by the other party was high, Xu Yang took out the ginseng again and asked the price.
The market price of ginseng is open and transparent. This kind of wild ginseng with five-grade leaves that is over 40 years old costs at least tens of thousands of yuan.
The drug dealer looked at the ginseng that Xu Yang took out with surprise. He took out a magnifying glass and examined it carefully.
"You are lucky. This is indeed pure wild ginseng."
"I counted the number of knots. It looks like it's at least forty years old."
After looking at it for a while, the drug dealer confirmed:
"More than forty years, five roots, fifty years, that's pretty good."
"It's almost a spirit."
The drug dealer's face was filled with excitement.
After seeing so many ordinary forest ginsengs, you will inevitably like wild ginseng when you see it.
This stuff is becoming increasingly hard to find.
The areas that need to be dug have all been dug, so if we want to dig more, we have to go deeper into the mountains.
It’s not easy to get into the depths of Changbai Mountain.
"5, how about that?"
"The price is fair, isn't it?"
The drug dealer gave a price.
"It was almost the same situation last year, and I understand it."
"But now wild ginseng is becoming less and less, and we don't know what the situation will be this year."
“I won’t sell it for less than 7.”
Xu Yang responded.
The two of them haggled for a while, and finally reached a deal at a price of 7.
Xu Yang returned home and listened to his parents' chat while eating dinner. The ginseng harvested by the ginseng picking team was sold today. There were four ginseng harvested today, and the total sales amounted to 4 yuan.
Each person can get two to three thousand.
Everyone is happy.
The people in the village have low incomes, and everyone is happy to make some money every year by picking ginseng.
The ginseng picking team will set out at six o'clock tomorrow.
This time, Xu Yang didn’t plan to follow them. It would be better to go into the mountains by himself.
It is also relatively safe.
Xu Yang planned to make some money first, and open a small farm when he had saved enough. He couldn't just rely on going into the mountains to find mountain products to survive.
You still have to have your own business.
His family conditions are ordinary, but his parents treat him very well. Xu Yang doesn't want to add financial burden to his parents, so he still relies on himself.
Around 8pm.
Xu Yang was alone in the yard.
At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and it was Dahuang who came back strolling from outside.
The dogs in the mountain village are free-range. When people are around, the courtyard door is not locked and Dahuang can go in and out at any time.
There were dog thieves in the past, but there is only a mountain road leading into the village, and there are some old people watching at the entrance of the village, so the dog thieves’ vans dare not come in, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the dogs.
"Dahuang, come here and eat." Xu Yang shouted to Dahuang.
Dahuang, who used to be full of energy and would run over when he heard about food, seemed a little reserved today for some reason.
It lowered its head, raised its eyes, and looked at Xu Yang as if it had made some mistake.
Then it looked towards the door again, as if calling for something.
"what happened?"
Xu Yang asked with a smile.
Dahuang pushed the gate open a little and walked in slowly.
Then it turned its head, as if waiting for something.
Xu Yang stood up and looked outside the door.
Then he saw a pitch-black puppy struggling to climb up from the threshold of the courtyard gate, then tumbling into the yard.
The threshold of Xu Yang's house is not high, but the little black dog is very small, so it needs to crawl in.
It looks to be only three months old, and must have just been weaned.
"Where did the puppy come from?"
Xu Yang walked over immediately, and Da Huang wagged his tail at Xu Yang with a smile on his face, trying to please him.
Xu Yang finally realized that Da Huang wanted him to take in the little black dog.
The little black dog is so cute. It is completely black, but the hair on its chest is white, and its four little paws are also white. This kind of dog is very good-looking, and its scientific name is 'Dark Clouds Stepping on Snow'.
From above, it looks like a little black bear, dark and shiny.
His limbs are exceptionally strong, and his body is solid and plump.
"Your son?"
"How did you get it here?"
Xu Yang squatted down, picked up the little black dog, and was a little confused.
Dahuang wagged his tail at Xu Yang to show his approval.
Xu Yang pushed open the door, walked out and looked outside.
He saw another big black dog, surrounded by four puppies, looking towards this side.
The four puppies were about the same size as the little black dog, but of different colors.
Xu Yang understood instantly. He looked at Da Huang and asked:
"Are those your wife and children? You can't raise so many at once. Do you want me to raise one?"
Dahuang wagged his tail quickly and smiled ingratiatingly.
Xu Yang looked at the little black dog carefully.
Very strong.
"And he even picked the strongest one. This little black guy has a really nice physique."
Xu Yang grew up in a mountain village and knows the rural dogs there very well. For people, you can tell a person's character by looking at him at the age of three, and for a dog, you can tell its talent by looking at its talent at the age of three.
This little black dog has a really good physique, with well-developed muscles, a good head-to-body ratio, and relatively strong legs.
It didn't struggle when Xu Yang grabbed it.
"Okay, I'll raise it."
Xu Yang put the little black dog down and led it into the yard.
The little black dog jumped and followed.
This guy recognized his master quickly.
I also know that there is meat to eat if I follow Xu Yang.
The mother dog outside the yard saw Xiao Hei following Xu Yang in, and turned around and ran away with the other puppies.
It probably had no choice but to bring the puppy here.
This is a good thing, it’s equivalent to finding a good home for the little black dog.
Animals have this kind of tendency, including cats and dogs.
If a kind-hearted person feeds a stray cat, then after the cat gives birth to puppies, if the cat cannot raise them itself, it will take the initiative to give its puppies to the kind-hearted person to raise.
Moreover, they usually choose the most beautiful one.
In the mother cat's mind, finding a good home for her child is the best thing she can do for her child.
The same is true for the little black dog's mother.
When it saw Xu Yang bringing Xiao Hei in, it felt relieved and continued wandering with the other puppies.
Life in the mountain village is always full of surprises and surprises.
Xu Yang returned to the yard, fed the little black dog a bottle of milk and fed Dahuang some leftover meat.
The little black dog and the big yellow dog sleep in the same doghouse, and there is enough space for them.
Then, Xu Yang was tired, so he washed up and went back to his room to rest.
