Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

Tao'er wondered to herself: Could this bag contain ginseng seeds?

No way?

It looks like it's still wild?

Tao'er knew a little about ginseng.

Wild ginseng seeds are extremely rare and very difficult to collect.

If it really is a ginseng seed, then she could use it to save lives, and of course, she could also use it to make a fortune.

Tao rubbed her eyes. No, I need to take another look.

Perhaps it's just a resemblance, or perhaps I'm seeing things.

She dared not be careless, and carefully examined the seeds for a long time before pouring them out of the bag and looking at each one against the picture in the book.

That's right!

Size, color, and shape are exactly the same.

These are ginseng seeds.

OMG!

She really got incredibly lucky!

We actually found such good stuff in a bandit's den!

This thing is far more precious and rare than gold and silver jewelry!

Ginseng is something that's expensive but unavailable!

Moreover, the wild ginseng grown in her spiritual field is priceless.

Awesome, so awesome!

Let me take a closer look, haha...

Tao'er carefully put the ginseng seeds back into the cloth bag, not wanting to lose a single one.

What is ginseng?

It's the king of medicinal herbs, a treasure more precious than gold; she can't afford to miss it.

She had heard from the former third wife that an old ginseng could sell for several hundred taels of silver, and a good one could fetch over a thousand taels.

She had never seen it before, and never imagined that she would be able to grow it one day, so she was a little excited, and her hands were trembling slightly.

She was even somewhat looking forward to seeing what the ginseng would look like after it grew.

Tao'er carefully examined how to cultivate ginseng, and after watching for a while, she memorized it.

It's not complicated; it's similar to growing white radishes.

She turned to the next page.

It turned out to be an introduction to saffron.

Saffron's characteristics are too obvious.

The purplish-brown bulb, flat and round, looks like a miniature garlic clove, as clearly depicted in the book.

Tao poured out the stem bulbs from the second cloth bag and examined them one by one.

That's right.

This really is saffron.

Tao'er was at a loss for words.

This is another money-making opportunity!

It can be sold to wealthy women. I've heard that saffron can replenish qi and blood, beautify the skin, and boost immunity, making it especially suitable for women.

She looked at the bag of lotus seeds and then flipped through a few more pages of her book.

There are several pages of illustrations of lotus seeds, including white lotus, red lotus, and water lily, all with depictions of seeds.

But the lotus seeds in her hand were larger and darker in color than these, and none of them were exactly the same in the book.

Tao thought about it and stopped worrying about it.

No matter what kind of lotus it is, if it can be placed alongside ginseng and saffron, it can't be an ordinary lotus seed.

You'll know once you plant it.

Tao'er carefully put away the three bags of seeds, then took the medical book and left the house.

The herb field is in the east; it was a newbie gift pack given by the system a few days ago, and I just opened it.

However, she hasn't had time to plant the medicinal herb seeds yet.

She didn't know how to farm before, but the space provided a ready-made field with dark, soft soil that was so tender you could squeeze oil out of it.

She only planted a few common herbs in it: angelica, astragalus, and licorice, which are said to be easy to grow according to medical books.

That field is still mostly empty.

Tao'er squatted by the field and untied the cloth bag.

She planted ginseng first.

Medical books say that ginseng prefers shade and should not be exposed to direct sunlight; it should be planted under the shade of trees.

But her medicinal herb field was bare, with no big trees at all.

Tao'er thought for a moment. Her medicinal herb field was a gift from the space, so it shouldn't need to be the same as the outside environment.

Growing ginseng shouldn't be a problem; at worst, she can just water them with some spiritual spring water.

Just do it!

She dug a row of shallow holes with a shovel, carefully scattered the seeds, covered them with a thin layer of soil, and then laid some withered leaves on top.

She didn't know anything about farming, but she did know that seeds are afraid of the sun.

Saffron is simpler.

Tao'er chose the very center of the medicinal herb field and pressed the stem bulbs one by one into the soil, leaving wide gaps between them.

Finally, lotus seeds.

Tao'er held the heavy bag of lotus seeds, feeling troubled.

Lotus seeds should be planted in water.

However, there was no pond in the space, only a medicinal field and a spiritual spring well.

Otherwise, we could try planting medicinal herbs in the field.

She felt that these were not the lotus seeds she usually ate.

It resembles a medicinal herb because it emits a medicinal fragrance.

Anyway, there aren't many of these seeds, only about ten.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't sprout; just consider it as the seed having gone bad due to age.

Thinking of this, Tao'er planted the ten seeds that looked like lotus seeds.

After planting the medicinal herbs, Tao'er lay down to rest.

I stretched and kicked, accidentally knocking over the small box containing the seeds—or rather, a whole box.

Because it is significantly smaller than the others.

She saw that something from a compartment had fallen out of the small box.

Tao clapped her hands, stood up, and thought to herself that there was actually a compartment inside, which meant that there were other good things hidden in this small wooden box.

Isn't that how it's usually portrayed in novels and TV dramas?

Thinking about this, Tao'er felt a sense of anticipation and excitement.

Just then, Ayan's voice came from outside, "Sister Tao'er..."

where are you?

Sister Peach..."

Tao'er was startled. Could it be that someone had come to assassinate her?

Thinking of this, Tao'er didn't bother to look at the small wooden box and quickly flashed out of the space.

Nothing is more important than Ayan's safety.

Because if Ayan doesn't survive, she'll have to die too.

She returned to the house and found that Ayan was still asleep; it turned out that the guy was talking in his sleep again.

It seems this kid is afraid of being abandoned, or he has developed a deep dependence on me.

Dongkui was fast asleep, and Tao'er thought to herself that she couldn't let the girl drink alcohol next time.

My alcohol tolerance is too low!

He got drunk after just one drink.

She walked over, took out a handkerchief to wipe the fine beads of sweat from Ayan's forehead, and patted his back.

He hummed a nursery rhyme softly, and soon stopped talking in his sleep and fell back asleep.

Tao sighed, looked at the sky outside. It was almost dawn, so she decided to go to sleep.

Anyway, the little box is in the space, so nothing can escape.

Thinking of this, Tao'er lay down and fell asleep soon after.
