Chapter 420: Uncle Sun's Magic Herb
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun asked Sun Shan all kinds of questions. Of course, the most common question they asked was whether he had confidence in the provincial examination and whether he could pass the examination and bring honor to Sunjia Village.
Sun Shan was afraid that if he said he had no confidence and would not pass the exam, his uncle Sun would secretly chase him and ask for the 10 taels back.
Sun Shan tried his best to keep smiling and said calmly, "Uncle San, Aunt San, I will try my best."
Who will guarantee such a thing?
Sun Shan is not a fool.
But in Uncle Sun's eyes, Sun Shan's calm expression gave him endless hope.
If he had no confidence, he would definitely say that he would have a hard time taking the exam, but Sun Shan said that he worked hard, proving that he was very confident.
Uncle Sun said cheerfully, "Shanzi, wait for me. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he ran away, leaving Sun Shan confused.
An hour later, I saw Uncle Sun again.
Uncle Sun sneaked into the Sun family's old house, quietly found Sun Shan, and whispered, "Shanzi, Shanzi, come out."
Sun Shan looked at him in confusion. His chest was bulging, and it was obvious that he was hiding something.
Uncle Sun looked at Sun Shan, who looked stupid and unremarkable.
He said angrily, "Shanzi, come out."
Just like the old sweet potato, Uncle Sun would not have cared so much about Sun Shan if he couldn't find anyone else.
Sun Shan walked out helplessly. Uncle Sun told Sun Shan to wait for him, but he finally saw him after waiting for an hour. He didn't know where he was going or what he was doing.
Sun Shan put down the book, and kept a gentleman's smile at all times, as warm as jade, and smiled in a very pretentious way: "Third Uncle, where have you been? I waited and waited, but I couldn't see you, so I went back to the study to read. You know, I'm going to take the provincial examination soon, and I have to study every minute."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Sun nodded with great satisfaction: "Shanzi, you did a good job. You really need to study hard. The provincial examination is coming soon, and you should remember what you haven't memorized yet so that you can perform well in the examination. Not bad, not bad, no wonder you are so different this time. Judging from your appearance, you will have no problem passing the examination."
Uncle Sun forgave Sun Shan for his rude behavior just now.
Nerd, nerd, how can you read well if you are not a nerd? Reading requires you to be quiet and not active, so you look like a nerd.
Uncle Sun compared Sun Shan and De Ge'er and found that the more lively and active a child is, the worse he is at studying. People like Sun Shan who are simple-minded are the most suitable for studying.
Uncle Sun said with satisfaction: "Shanzi, it's a good thing that you love reading so much. Not bad, not bad."
Then he changed the subject: "But studying is not enough just by using your brain."
Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "Uncle San, what's the point of studying then?"
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes at Sun Shan, who was studying too hard, and said very seriously, "Of course, I still use my brain to study, but have you ever heard of overusing the brain? If you use your brain too much, you must replenish it, don't you understand?"
Sun Shan suspected that Uncle Sun wanted to "cure the body with like", so in order to replenish his brain, he needed to eat pig brains.
Uncle Sun carefully took out a yellow-brown Ganoderma lucidum from his arms.
Sun Shan stared at it and saw that it was a very large Ganoderma lucidum, weighing definitely at least 500 grams.
The most important thing is that this is pure wild Ganoderma lucidum, not industrial Ganoderma lucidum.
Sun Shan stared at the Ganoderma lucidum and asked curiously, "Uncle San, this is a good thing. Where did you get it?"
Uncle Sun stroked the Ganoderma lucidum carefully and said proudly, "Your uncle has everything. Haha, I got this magic herb from a mountain farmer. I fell several times while trying to get it, and wore out several pairs of shoes."
As soon as Sun Shan heard it, he knew that Uncle Sun was just bragging again.
There are indeed mountain dwellers in Huangyang County, but entering the mountains is not as difficult as Uncle Sun said.
Sun Shan's maternal grandfather lived in the mountains. Sun Shan was not a city dweller, he was a mountain dweller. He thought that the mountain roads in Huangyang County were much easier to walk on than Qitianling.
Sun Shan did not expose Uncle Sun San, but said with a smile: "Uncle San, good job, you found such a good magic herb, you are amazing."
The Shennong's Herbal Classic classifies Ganoderma lucidum as a top-grade medicine, advocating that top-grade medicine "nourishes life in response to the will of heaven, is non-toxic, and does not harm people when taken in large quantities or for a long time. It is used for those who want to lose weight, improve their energy, and prolong their life."
Lingzhi can “calm the mind”, “calm the soul”, “increase wisdom and prevent forgetfulness”.
It is deeply loved by men, women, young and old in Daqian.
Uncle Sun was even more proud, his mouth corners raised, he winked at Sun Shan, and whispered: "Guess how much this Ganoderma lucidum is worth?"
How could Sun Shan guess that his family didn't sell Ganoderma lucidum.
Sun Shan had indeed eaten Ganoderma lucidum soup, which was brought back by Aunt Sun, but it was all fragments and of very poor quality.
I’ve only seen a flower as big and perfect as Uncle Sun’s in a store.
As for the value, only experienced people can evaluate it, but Sun Shan cannot see it.
But it’s certainly not cheap.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Uncle San, how would I know? By the way, Uncle San, how much did you spend to get it back?"
Uncle Sun looked at Sun Shan with a proud smile, and his proud smile filled the entire Sun family's old house. He said proudly, "Shanzi, haha, I only spent 1 tael to get it back. Hahaha, those mountain guys don't know what's good. In their eyes, good things are not as good as a load of rice. Haha, your uncle is awesome, right?"
Then he continued to ask: "Shanzi, guess how much this Ganoderma lucidum can be sold for?"
Uncle Sun’s eyes were sharp.
Sun Shan knew that he wanted to show off, so he urged him to guess the price.
Sun Shan, considering that his uncle secretly gave him 10 taels, guessed the lower price: "Uncle, I think it's worth 5 taels. If I take back 1 tael and sell it for 5 taels, I'll make 5 times the profit."
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes at Sun Shan, as if to say he didn't know him. He said impatiently, "Shanzi, have you become stupid from studying so much? Selling such a beautiful fairy herb for 5 taels? Only a fool would sell it for that!"
Sun Shan was helpless. He also wanted to guess a high price, but guessing that way would make Uncle Sun feel very unfulfilled and he wouldn't be able to show off.
Then he said, "Uncle San, 10 taels, right?"
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes at Sun Shan several times and said unhappily, "This is such a precious immortal herb. I'll take whatever you can get for 10 taels."
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Sun Shan pleaded, "Uncle San, I can't guess. Please tell me how much it can be sold for."
Seeing that Sun Shan really wanted to know the answer, Uncle Sun stopped teasing him and held up five fingers with a proud look on his face, saying with a beaming face, "5 taels!"
Sun Shan was stunned. It turned out to be worth only 50 taels. He thought it was worth 500 taels.
It seems that Ganoderma lucidum is cheaper than imagined, even if it is pure natural and wild.
Sun Shan pretended to be happy and said, "Uncle San, this flower is worth 50 taels? It's so expensive. I can build a house in Sunjia Village with it."
After hearing this, Uncle Sun was even more pleased with himself: "I took the Xianzhi and ran to ask Uncle Jing'er. He said it was worth at least 50 taels. If I met someone who knew the value of it and was willing to spend the money, I could sell it for 100 taels."
Then he said regretfully: "What a pity, I only received this beautiful one, the others are small and not worth much."
