Chương 11: Chapter 0009: Delicious
After re-entering the traditional Chinese medicine shop, Wu Fengqing led Li Xiaobao into a quiet room, where someone brewed a pot of fine tea.
"Little brother, I'd like to ask, how much ginseng of this quality do you still have?" Wu Fengqing asked expectantly.
"How much? I'm not sure exactly, but at least ten or eight carts' worth." Li Xiaobao said while sipping tea.
"What?" Upon hearing Li Xiaobao's words, Wu Fengqing, who had just taken a sip of tea, nearly spat it out. Although Li Xiaobao's tricycle was not very big, the amount of ten or eight carts was clear in Wu Fengqing's mind.
"However, if you want more, you can have it, but you'll have to wait a few days," Li Xiaobao said to Wu Fengqing again.
"Little brother, no matter how much ginseng you have of this kind, I want it all," Wu Fengqing said eagerly, not wanting to miss this opportunity.
In the end, Li Xiaobao and Wu Fengqing agreed on a price three times higher than the market value for Li Xiaobao's cart of ginseng.
"The Five Elemental Space really is a treasure." Li Xiaobao, pocketing ten thousand yuan, happily headed home.
When he arrived home, it was already afternoon, and because there was not much work in the fields today, Zhou Cuihua hadn't gone out to the fields either.
"Mom, I'm starving." As soon as he got home, Li Xiaobao started complaining of hunger, after all, from going out in the morning until his return in the afternoon, he had eaten nothing but a sip of water in the medicine shop.
"Wait a bit, after your dad comes back, I'll go make you something," Zhou Cuihua said with a amused smile at Li Xiaobao's hungry complaints, as Li Detian had just gone out and hadn't returned yet.
While they were speaking, Li Detian came back, leaning on his crutch. He had just entered the courtyard when he saw the now empty three-wheeled cart and was immediately surprised, wondering if Li Xiaobao really had sold that morning's cartful of ginseng.
"Dad, you're back," Li Xiaobao said excitedly, getting up.
"Mhm!" Li Detian saw Li Xiaobao's excited face and nodded coldly, saying, "You rascal, doing nothing serious every day, what nonsense have you been up to?"
"Dad, I haven't been messing around," Li Xiaobao said, very dissatisfied.
"Haven't been messing around, yet I haven't seen you achieve much," Li Detian huffed coldly, sitting down and lighting a cigarette.
"Dad, look," Li Xiaobao said, placing the ten thousand yuan from his pocket onto the table.
"This... this..." Li Detian, looking at the ten thousand yuan Li Xiaobao put on the table, was stunned, and the cigarette in his mouth dropped to the floor.
"Xiaobao, where did you get so much money?" Luo Guiying was also amazed and speechless at the sight of the ten thousand yuan on the table.
Ten thousand yuan could be said to be the most money the Li family had ever seen.
"It's just from selling this morning's cart of ginseng," Li Xiaobao indifferently told Li Detian and Luo Guiying. In fact, when he received that ten thousand yuan from the shop owner that morning, Li Xiaobao's heart had also trembled for a long time.
"Really? I always said Xiaobao was sure to be someone who does great things," Zhou Cuihua said with a face full of smiles upon hearing this.
"Really? Xiaobao, you aren't lying to me?" Li Detian was completely astounded by now, shakily extending his hands to touch the ten thousand yuan on the table.
"Dad, why would I lie to you? You take care of this ten thousand first. I've already made an arrangement with them, they will come tomorrow to take the rest of the ginseng. Then I'll get you another hundred or eighty thousand," Li Xiaobao chuckled.
"Bastard, where did you go to get so many ginsengs for someone?" Li Detian was startled, as he still had no idea where Li Xiaobao had got a truckload of ginseng last time.
Li Xiaobao spoke lightly, but Li Detian understood that a hundred thousand or eighty thousand yuan meant a dozen trucks, let alone a dozen trucks; they couldn't even come up with one right now.
"Hehe, dad, you don't have to worry about that, I have my ways." Li Xiaobao hehe'd with a smile, looking at Li Detian, then started to grumble about being hungry again.
"I'll go make you something to eat right now." Zhou Cuihua smiled and ran into the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, wait up, I'll get you some veggies." Seeing Zhou Cuihua run into the kitchen, Li Xiaobao quickly entered his own room and took out a few cabbages from the Five Elemental Space.
Actually, the cabbages he was holding were mixed with the ginseng seeds. He planted them together by mistake when he was planting ginseng.
Looking at the two huge cabbages Li Xiaobao brought over, Zhou Cuihua was stunned there and then, asking Li Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, where did you get such big cabbages?"
"You don't need to worry about that, sister-in-law, just cook them." Li Xiaobao chuckled and simply placed the cabbages in the kitchen.
"This kid." Zhou Cuihua watched Li Xiaobao's retreating figure, smiled sweetly, and began cooking.
When Zhou Cuihua brought up a big bowl of cabbage, the whole room was suddenly filled with a delicious aroma, and Li Xiaobao instantly wolfed down his food.
"Sister-in-law, the food you make is really delicious." Li Xiaobao stuffed cabbage into his mouth and said vaguely.
"It's all thanks to your cabbage. You know, it's strange, I never thought cabbage could taste this good before." Zhou Cuihua watched Li Xiaobao eating with such relish that she couldn't help but eat a bit more herself.
"Delicious! Really delicious!" Luo Guiying and Li Detian also couldn't stop praising the cabbage Zhou Cuihua had made.
However, what they did not expect was that right after they finished their meal, they suddenly felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, and the fatigue of the day disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Cuihua knew it was all because of the cabbages. Already very optimistic about Li Xiaobao, she came to believe even more in his abilities.
"Dad, how's your leg feeling? Let me massage it again for you, I reckon it will be completely better after another two or three sessions." Li Xiaobao said while placing his palms on Li Detian's legs.
Li Detian, of course, did not resist. His leg was almost completely healed after several massages from Li Xiaobao.
After some massage from Li Xiaobao, Li Detian felt his leg become more flexible, and slowly he began to change his impressions of Li Xiaobao; however, he was still somewhat worried about Li Xiaobao's ginseng selling business, as they clearly had none at home currently, and he wondered what to say if someone came asking for it.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about those things." After massaging Li Detian, Li Xiaobao comforted him for a while then returned to his room.
Li Xiaobao lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, feeling more and more that his Five Elemental Space was extraordinary. The seeds he had just planted the day before yesterday had yielded a harvest in just one day, and a bumper one at that,
"I finally understand what it means to be guaranteed a good harvest regardless of the weather." Li Xiaobao thought, chuckling to himself, and decided that once he sold all the ginseng from the Five Elemental Space, he would start with something else.
Zhang Ling wanted to help the whole village prosper, didn't she? As long as his experiment was a success, there shouldn't be any big problem.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaobao turned over and got out of bed, then headed towards the kitchen.
