Chapter 185: The First Harvest from the Herb Field!
The herb field was still the same herb field, filled with spiritual energy, even more refreshing than it had been in the early morning.
Tao'er walked quickly to the edge of the field and immediately saw the wine-red patch of saffron flowers, all of which were ripe.
It seems that the things planted in the space are growing very quickly.
She practically ran there.
Rows of saffron flowers stand tall and graceful, each flower displaying three deep red stigmas with a velvety sheen.
Tao'er squatted down, her fingers touching the soft petals, and an indescribable joy welled up in her heart.
She planted these herself, from tiny, inconspicuous bulbs, and they have grown into this magnificent sight today.
She began harvesting, her movements gentle yet swift.
The three pillars were carefully removed and placed into the prepared cloth bag.
One, two, three...
The medicinal herb field wasn't large, and only two rows of saffron were planted, but by the time the harvest was finished, a shallow layer had already accumulated in the cloth bag.
Tao'er weighed it in her hand; it was about two ounces.
She remembered that in her original world, top-quality saffron sold for tens or even hundreds of yuan per gram, so this small bag...
Saffron has long been known as "soft gold," hence its high price.
She didn't continue calculating because she still had work to do.
After harvesting, she planted the second batch of bulbs, reserving some of them, following the method in her mind.
Cover with soil, compact it, and pour in the spring water from the space.
After doing all that, she stood up, rubbed her lower back, and her gaze naturally fell on another spot.
There, twenty or thirty wild ginseng plants stood quietly in the medicinal herb field.
Tao walked over, squatted down, and took a closer look.
Each plant has six compound leaves, palmately spread out, with a flower stalk emerging from the center, bearing small, bright red fruits that are particularly eye-catching.
She remembered reading in the book that this was a characteristic of ginseng; it takes ginseng with five leaves and over six years of age to grow to this size.
But she had only planted this ginseng recently, how could it have grown so quickly...?
She shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
She had long since given up exploring the secrets of the space; she only cared about planting and harvesting, nothing else mattered.
After all, the growth patterns of plants inside the space are definitely different from those outside.
everything is possible!
The important thing is how much these ginseng roots are worth.
Tao looked at each one; these ginsengs were all quite large, with lush leaves and thick stems.
She didn't know how to tell the age of ginseng; she only knew that the older the ginseng, the more valuable it was.
But the part underground is not visible, so we can't just dig it all out.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally chose the one on the far side, which looked the smallest.
She squatted down and used her hands to carefully remove the soil bit by bit.
Ginseng roots are fine and long, and can easily break if you're not careful.
Tao'er didn't dare use tools, so she dug inch by inch with her fingers. The soil fell down, gradually revealing the pale yellow ginseng body.
Holding her breath, she slowly peeled away the roots, and after what seemed like an eternity, the entire ginseng plant was finally revealed before her.
It is about two fingers thick, and its main body is somewhat like a dried white radish, but with more wrinkles, dense roots, and some soil hanging at the end.
Tao'er held it in her hands and looked at it again and again. She couldn't tell the year, but she felt that the shape was similar to what she had seen in TV dramas before.
She carefully wrapped it with that soft cloth, not even shaking off the soil from the roots.
She remembered that only ginseng that was preserved intact was valuable.
"I wonder how old this plant is," she muttered to the soft cloth bag. "I'll take it to the pharmacy and ask how much it'll sell for."
After carefully storing the ginseng and saffron, she walked a few more steps deeper into the medicinal herb field.
There were also a dozen or so flowers there, which looked rather unusual.
The leaves are thick and spread out on the ground in a rosette shape, with a flower stalk emerging from the center and a bowl-sized flower blooming at the top.
The petals are so thin they are almost transparent, and under the soft light unique to the space, they shimmer with a faint pearly sheen.
Tao'er counted them; each flower had nine petals, and they were double petals, layer upon layer. The buds at the center of the flower were purplish-brown, contrasting beautifully with the emerald green stems and leaves, making them indescribably elegant and beautiful.
It resembles a lotus but isn't quite a lotus; in any case, it's pleasing to the eye!
"These flowers are so beautiful!" Tao'er couldn't help but exclaim.
She squatted in front of the flower and looked at it for a long time, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed.
Where have I seen this before?
She frowned and thought hard, then suddenly slapped her forehead and almost cried out, "This is a Tian Shan snow lotus!"
Yes, she had seen a description of the world she hadn't traveled to on TV.
They grow in extremely cold places, on the top of snow-capped mountains at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and are extremely rare.
The images on TV flashed by, and she only remembered that the petals were so thin they were translucent and the flower's center was purplish-brown. She never expected to see it here.
Tao'er was both surprised and delighted. She squatted there and looked at it again and again, unwilling to look away.
Tian Shan snow lotus, that's a legendary treasure, a medicinal herb, priceless.
Even in the 21st century, wild ones are almost impossible to find.
She actually managed to grow it?
Based on those inconspicuous seeds.
She clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
I've struck it rich...
This time they've really struck it rich...
After calming down for a while, Tao'er stood up and began to make plans.
Saffron, ginseng, and Tian Shan snow lotus—any one of these three things could fetch a good price at a pharmacy.
But she couldn't take them all out; she could just sell one of each kind and keep the rest in her space to plant and harvest slowly, a steady and sustainable way.
I need to go to the pharmacy tomorrow to get medicine for Young Master Chen.
Thinking of that man, Tao'er sighed helplessly!
That's a living ancestor.
I'm so lucky, I just saved someone and he turned out to be the crown prince.
His injuries hadn't fully healed yet, and although she had some anti-inflammatory medicine she found in her spatial storage, she didn't dare give it to him.
She understood the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime. Although the man had lost his memory, he was still sharp-minded and very shrewd.
If she gave him medicine of unknown origin, and he noticed something, she wouldn't be able to explain it.
Let's just go to the pharmacy and get some regular Chinese medicine.
The Crown Prince's injury is no longer a big problem; the poison has been neutralized.
Traditional Chinese medicine may be slower, but it is more reliable and its effects are more lasting.
Perfect timing! I'll take this opportunity while I'm getting my medicine ready to check the prices at the pharmacy.
Tao'er made up her mind and inspected the medicinal herb field again.
A new batch of saffron has been planted, and there are still twenty or thirty ginseng plants in the ground. The dozen or so snow lotus plants from Tian Shan also need to be well cared for.
Tao'er thought for a moment and then brought over another bucket of spiritual spring water. She poured some of the spiritual spring water on the herbs. As for fertilizing, she probably didn't need to!
The water from the sacred spring is better than any fertilizer!
She then looked at some other herbs, such as Panax notoginseng and Angelica sinensis, and harvested them as well, then planted a new batch.
After doing all that, she realized she was a little tired, so she left the space and went back into the house.
I sat on the edge of the bed, gazing out the window in a daze.
The moonlight outside was still dim, and dawn had not yet broken.
She lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, but the image of that medicinal herb field still lingered in her mind.
Wine-red saffron, emerald green ginseng leaves, and a dozen or so snow lotuses from the Tianshan Mountains with petals as thin as cicada wings.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
I slept soundly, and when I woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.
