Chapter 8 The Immortal God
Tang Qingshan and Tang Dalang all came over to watch.
I saw a big half-yellow, not white, stubble-soggy flesh in the soil pit, because the root of the tree was dead, and there was a big hole. The thing was embedded under the root of the tree, and it looked quite intact.
Grandpa put his heads together and looked in amazement: "What is this? It looks so alive."
Nai Duanzi struggled, and wanted to go and have a look by herself, Mrs. Lin hurriedly covered her daughter's eyes: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, let's not look at it, Xinbao is not afraid, there is a mother here."
While talking, he went over to take a look: "Oh, what is this? It looks so disgusting, Bala."
Nai Duanzi shook his little head, but didn't shake his mother's hand away, just muttered: "Large slime mold complex..."
Ms. Lin didn't hear clearly, but she didn't dare to read any more, so she hurriedly carried her back to the house.
Brother Tang San suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, Dad! Dad! Why is this thing still moving! It's alive! It won't bite, right?"
He ran and jumped away.
Silly son was startled, Tang Qingshan frowned and took a closer look.
Seeing that the thing looked like it was alive, he was suddenly blessed: "It's Tai Sui! This is Tai Sui!"
Second brother Tang took a few glances from a distance, and suddenly realized: "That's right! This is Tai Sui! Meat Ganoderma lucidum!"
Nai Tuanzi was covered with eyes, listening to the voices of his father and brother outside, very proud.
She knew it! There must be something good!
She is famously lucky in the circle, no matter how rare and rare a plant is, as long as it exists, as long as it is there, she will definitely be able to find it!
It takes three to five months for others to find it, but it only takes three to five minutes for her to find it, so her companions joked that she was a treasure hunter, and asked her to go over mountains and mountains together every day.
But she didn't think it was Tai Sui at first.
Tai Sui is really famous.
There is a record of Tai Sui in "Shan Hai Jing", which calls Tai Sui "shirou" and "rouzhi"; Shennong’s Materia Medica once said that “flesh Ganoderma lucidum, non-toxic, nourishes the middle, improves essence, increases wisdom, cures knots in the chest, long-term use makes light of body and does not grow old” and so on.
This thing is known as "the end of food, the recovery of life as before", "eating one piece after another", that is to say, if you cut off a piece, it will grow back soon, which is simply miraculous in the eyes of the ancients.
So in ancient times, this was a fairy medicine exclusive to emperors, and it was claimed that taking it would make you immortal and free from all diseases.
Many people say that emperors such as Yao, Shun, and Yu were over a hundred years old because they ate this thing. The ancestor dragon Qin Shihuang also led a group of people eastward in order to find this thing, and ordered the genius doctor Xu Fu to bring thousands of virgins. Traveling to Yingzhou eastward left behind an eternal mystery.
All in all, all in all.
This thing is expensive, very expensive, very expensive! Worth a lot of silver!
This is really a pillow when you want to doze off, the masters are really full of energy, let's do it together.
While digging, many people from the village came to inquire.
After all, the Tang family is still the focus of gossip in the village at the moment. Whether it is a good intention to come to deliver some food, or a smooth running to see how their lives are going, someone will always come and hang around.
As soon as I heard that Tai Sui was digging, there was a sensation in the village at that time. Everyone couldn't eat breakfast in time, and ran over to watch the excitement.
It wasn’t too deep at first, but it was quickly dug out and placed on the ground quite completely.
Looking at a weight of seventy to eighty catties, it looks like a piece of hard fat, and also like a slightly soft tree stump, fresh, complete and terrifying.
People in the village gathered around and discussed, many people said: "How much money will this cost!"
"What kind of luck is this! When the front foot moved, the back foot dug out Tai Sui!"
Tang Qingshan was in a good mood at first, but after listening to the discussions of the people around him, he gradually became deep again.
Although he doesn't talk much, he is a man with a plan in his heart. He knows very well that in a place like the village, there are many cases of enmity over a penny, and money touches people's hearts!
Moreover, Yutang Village is really poor.
If food is not grown well, people will be poor, and if they are poor, they cannot be counted.
Besides, what they said made sense, this place is indeed not their home!
If there is going to be a dispute sooner or later, then, instead of waiting for the villagers to speak out, it is better for him to take the initiative himself!
Tang Qingshan quickly made up his mind and said, "Fan'er, go invite the patriarch."
Brother Tang was taken aback for a moment, glanced at his father, and left without saying anything.
Er Tang lowered his eyes, and he also thought about it in his heart, so he didn't speak.
The third brother Hanhan just grinned and bragged to his familiar friends in the village: "My sister found it! My sister is so smart! She pointed, and I dug it out..."
This fool never thought about what it meant for his father to call the patriarch.
Er Tang took a few steps towards him, thinking he had to talk to this Tie Hanhan first, otherwise he would jump up in a flash after talking, and the matter would not be a good one.
So he said: "Sanlang, Xinbao is calling you."
"Huh?" The excited Tang San brother who was blowing immediately turned his head, and then jumped into the house. Tang Er brother glanced at the courtyard and followed inside.
After a while, the old patriarch came over.
These are old and mature people. No matter what they think in their hearts, they are all good-looking, and they say congratulations as soon as they come.
Tang Qingshan said calmly: "Tongxi, uncle patriarch, I invited you here to discuss with you how to deal with this thing."
"What are you discussing!" The old patriarch said: "This courtyard is given to you to live in, so it belongs to you, and the things dug out naturally belong to you."
"Thank you, old uncle, for your kindness," Tang Qingshan said, "but I'm just borrowing this courtyard. This is the old courtyard of our Tang family. The ancestors of the old Tang family have accumulated virtues to have such a treasure. Born by my hand, it will naturally be handed over to the clan for disposal."
The old patriarch secretly admired him.
This is someone who has been around outside, and usually doesn't say a word, but when it comes to things, the scene is smooth.
So he said a few more words of humility, and then he asked someone to invite the clan elders over.
Tang Qingshan's foresight and insight are much better than those of these clan elders, Fei Ye seemed to tell what Tai Sui is and how precious it is.
At the same time, he said: "Old patriarch, uncles, there is something that I may have thought too much, let me tell you everyone first. This thing is a rare thing, what is it called in the book, I heard that the expensive ones above People are very caring, if it gets out and the government comes to take it away, they will get promoted and get rich, but we, if it’s good, we can get a plaque, if it’s not good, we won’t get anything.”
He paused for a moment, seeing that they all understood, and said again: "But our little people are really in trouble, so there is nothing we can do. So it's best to find a pharmacy and sell it quickly before the government finds out. It won’t be too high, but after it’s sold, it’s the pharmacy’s business and the higher-ups’ business, so it doesn’t bother us. Even if the government wants to investigate, we are ignorant ordinary people, so we don’t know This thing can still be offered up, and the law does not blame the public. Do you think so?"
A few old men think so.
Then a few people agreed quickly.
In this village, there are more than 300 households, mainly those with the surname Tang, and there are only a few households with other surnames. There are more than 260 households with the surname Tang.
Let’s divide the meat. One is that I don’t know how to eat it, and the other is that I don’t know how long it can be stored, so I discussed and asked everyone to choose by themselves. When it is sold, the money is divided, but no one knows how much it can be sold for. It is only heard that a catty can be sold for a dozen taels.
After coming out, the patriarch told people about the matter, and then asked everyone to go back to discuss it. After half an hour, they went to the threshing ground to talk about it.
Everyone left in a hurry.
There was only one little widow surnamed Chen, her eyes flickered, and she went to the old house of the Tang family.
