Digging Up Ginseng

Qiao Qiang walked a few more miles into the mountains and suddenly saw lush grass growing under a pine tree. The grass at the other places were not so densely packed.

He took a closer look and realized that there was a ginseng in the middle of the grass patch. There were even red small fruits growing on it!

Qiao Qiang calmly took out a red string from his bag and gently tied it around the ginseng. The older generation all said that ginseng had spiritual energy. If he did not tie it with the red string, it would run away if he was not careful!

He placed his tools on the ground one by one. Then he took out a straw mat and sat on it, carefully digging up the ginseng.

Ginseng was expensive partly because of its age. The older it was, the more valuable it would become. On the other hand, it also depended on the quality of the ginseng. Even if the main ginseng was intact, but the roots were damaged, the price would drop a lot!
