Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao could not recognize those plants, but Qiao Xuan had the impression, because she had bought them for the senior member of the family in her previous life.
True, here they were.
“Fifth Sister-in-law, is it a good thing?”
“Can we sell them for money?”
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao did not care if they recognized the plants, as long as their fifth sister-in-law was glad. It meant that the plants were definitely going to be precious.
Qiao Xuan nodded as she rubbed her hands. “These are excellent things, precious medical herbs, which can be sold at a really good price in the pharmacy.”
Gastrodia elatas had always been sold at a high price starting from the ancient time.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao cheered.
“What are we waiting for, go and grab them! Fifth Sister-in-law, what are they called? We will dig them all up!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “They are called Gastrodia elata, growing in the earth. You have to be very careful when digging them. You should not hurt them, or they will lose all their value.”
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao nodded.
Shao Taotao asked again. “Fifth Sister-in-law, how much can they be sold for?”
Qiao Xuan thought for a while and shook her head. “I am not very sure… but I think that it should be more valuable than honey!”
Their eyes widened upon listening to her, and they gasped. Both of them became even more motivated and careful hearing that.
The brother and sister were fully prepared. “Fifth Sister-in-law, don’t worry, we promise to be careful!”
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. “Good that you are careful, but a little twisted stems are okay, don’t get too nervous!”
Qiao Xuan suddenly thought that she maybe able to repair the damaged plants with her superpower. She wondered whether that method worked.
Even if she could not, small damages were fine. She could use her superpower to avoid the damage in the stems. But Taotao and Qi would not able to do so, they were not real professionals.
However, Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were not convinced by Qiao Xuan.
“We will definitely remain cautious!”
“Yes, we will not hurt the stem!”
That was all potential money, far more valuable than wild honey!
The three of them did not bring any shovels on this day, only blades. They needed to chop the plants away so as to make a path across the wilderness.
Soon, Shao Xiaoqi sharpened a sharp-tip twig and the digging started.
The terrain was low and flat in the woods, and the soil was not too wet or too dry. The plants were growing really well. As a result, it was much easier for them to dig out things.
Soon, they managed to get a good harvest.
All the plants looked ripe and weighed heavily, with some soil stuck to them. The plants had a fragrant and fresh fragrance but their noses could only smell money!
Twenty mu plants were not easy to be dug fully, and they could not possibly carry everything back even when they were done.
They had just completed digging one mu when their baskets were full.
They were not strong enough to take away everything.
Shao Xiaoqi said, “I will bear this place in mind. Let’s go home first. What are we going to do with this plant? Sundry it too?”
Qiao Xuan had just tested that her superpower was able to repair the damage of plants, but the wounds could not be too large or deep.
She was in a good mood.
Hearing what Shao Xiaoqi said, Qiao Xuan thought for a while and said, “We can’t do this again and again. Let’s go home first, and bring Third Brother, Elder Brother and Elder Sister-in-law here tomorrow.”
