Chapter 48 Uncle Xiangjiang buys ginseng
In the side hall of Lin's ancestral hall, Lin Heming, a clan relative from Xiangjiang, held a ginseng box in his hand and was amazed.
"Asen, is this a hundred-year-old wild ginseng? You are really wild, you can do all this."
Lin Musen quickly stood up and said modestly:
“Don’t worry, Fifth Uncle, this wild ginseng is over 115 years old. It was collected from the virgin forest deep in Changbai Mountain. It is not easy for me to get it.”
"Don't worry, don't worry, we are all a family, how can I not be worried, hehehe~~~"
Lin Heming spoke politely and pretended to pass the ginseng to an old gentleman next to him inadvertently:
"Ah Sen, this is Wu Sheng, the second shopkeeper of Xiangjiang Miaochun Tang. He also came to the mainland with me to watch the dragon boat race this time. He said that he had never seen wild ginseng that was a hundred years old, so I asked him to see it. ”
Lin Musen knew in his heart that his fifth uncle didn't trust him, so he specially hired a master from Xiangjiang to look after him.
But he can also understand that, let alone distant relatives, even brothers are unreliable when they are unreliable. It is not uncommon in society to kill acquaintances. Those insurance companies are specifically designed to deceive one's relatives and friends.
After all, it’s a multi-million dollar business, so it’s normal to be careful.
Lin Musen is absolutely sure of the quality of ginseng. Real gold is not afraid of fire.
"Hello Wu Sheng, this ginseng is from 115 years old. I also have a 150 year old ginseng. If you are interested, I can show it to you."
Understanding is understanding, but it’s always unpleasant to be questioned, so Lin Musen decided to show off his muscles a little.
Lin Heming and Master Wu were shocked when they heard what Lin Musen said. They had doubts about Lin Musen's words, wondering where could a mainlander come from these rare Chinese medicinal materials?
"Then I will have long eyes, haha."
Master Wu said it politely. He placed the ginseng on the table and examined it carefully.
No one in the side hall spoke. Firstly, they didn't want to disturb Master Wu's inspection of the goods. Secondly, the screams outside the ancestral hall made everyone feel numb.
At this time, in the small square outside Lin's Ancestral Hall, all 40 dragon boat team members were kneeling in a row. The expressions on everyone's faces were one of shame.
They lost the dragon boat race, and they lost to the feuding Pingle Village, which made Lin's crew members embarrassed to see Jiangdong's elders.
The clan leader, Uncle Lin, held an ancestral bamboo whip and looked fiercely at the Lin family's children in front of him.
"You losers, didn't you have enough food in the morning? Did you try your best? Pingle Village has lost to us for 15 consecutive years, and it will be lost to you this year. You have shamed our ancestors, and Lingpai is going to be so angry. Jump down~~”
After saying that, Grandpa Lin, who was trembling with anger, hit Lin Yangping on the back with a whip.
"Pingzi, you are the boss of this generation, how do you take care of your younger brother like this?"
Lin Yangping, the deputy director of the Personnel Bureau and the superior leader of the unit, was also crying a lot at this time.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry!"
Grandpa Lin whipped Lin Pingyang on the back again, causing the onlookers of the villagers to exclaim:
"Grandpa will beat you, will you accept it?"
Lin Pingyang was also a bachelor and shouted loudly: "Submit!"
Grandpa Lin’s third whip struck his back again:
"Have you remembered the lesson?"
"Thanks for the fight, grandpa!"
The eldest brother was whipped, and the third brother, Lin Hang, and the sixth brother, Lin Qiang, who were kneeling not far away, were already shaking a little:
"It's over, it's over. How come we're only 20 seconds behind? Why did we lose to those people in Pingle Village? Lao San, will we be beaten to death?"
Lin Chen is the boss of a real estate company. He is a second-generation rich man. He has lived in luxury since he was a child. This time he finally got the qualification to be a member of the dragon boat team. But he lost. Lin Chen almost cried. "Qiang Zai, the general rule is, how many whips should we get?"
Lin Qiang replied softly: "Usually the big brother who takes the lead gets 10 lashes. We have less and still have to get 5 lashes. But you can pretend to faint, so you don't have to get spanked."
Lin Hang was furious after hearing this: "Fart, I dare to cheat in front of my ancestors and grandpa? Do you want me to be expelled from the family tree?"
Lin Qiang chuckled: "Then bear with it, now you are not Mr. Lin, but General Lin."
"Oh, Mr. Yin, half of my life is gone~~~."
Lin Sanqi stood on the periphery, watching his brothers being whipped by the clan leader. He was constantly rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he was studying and did not have to participate in the dragon boat race.
Contemporary college students are quite Buddhist and do not participate if they can, pretending to be transparent.
What he didn't know was that other brothers from the clan were selected through layers of ranks in order to join the Dragon Boat Team and gain this opportunity to honor their ancestors. Those who were unqualified like Lin Hang had to open the back door.
Lin Sanqi was still rejoicing, but Grandpa Lin quit.
Seeing that the young people in the village were all gloating about their misfortune, Grandpa Lin began to direct his fire at the onlookers.
"You, you, you, all men under the age of 35 and over 18, get out."
Lin Sanqi, who was still looking happy at first, thought it was over when she heard this. She knew she wouldn't come to see the fun, so now she got involved.
Just as Lin Hai wanted to disappear secretly from the crowd, his father kicked him in the butt:
"Get over here, and you Qizai, get over here too!"
Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai looked at each other and knew they couldn't run away, so they pretended to be serious and stood in the center of the square. By this time, more than 100 young men had already come out.
With a strong sense of oppression, Uncle Lin walked up to the crowd with a whip in his hand, patrolling his people like a lion.
Every young man who is being targeted by Grandpa will unconsciously want to shake his legs.
When Grandpa Lin stared at Lin Sanqi, Lin Sanqi showed a very forced smile:
"Grandpa, please calm down. Next year we will definitely defeat those losers in Pingle Village."
Uncle Lin sneered:
"Okay, you have ambition, but it's not enough to just talk without practice. I think you are a good candidate for the dragon boat team because you are strong and strong. This year you are in college and grandpa didn't let you participate. Next year, you, and you!"
Uncle Lin nodded again at Lin Hai, who was shivering behind Lin Sanqi:
"Except for the students, everyone else will participate in the dragon boat training for me. No one can be absent. The children of the Lin family must stand up at critical moments. If anyone is cheating and is not proud of the clan, I will stop his dividends. Listen. Do you understand? ”
A sparse echo: "I heard it!"
Grandpa Lin suddenly raised his bamboo whip, slapped Lin Sanqi on the back hard, and shouted to everyone:
"No food? Did you hear that?"
"I heard it~~~~" the sound was like a loud bell.
Lin Sanqi, the killed chicken, really wanted to cry but couldn't. It was such a disaster. He just stood a little closer to Grandpa.
Lin Hai patted his chest and looked happy. Fortunately, he was hiding behind Qizai.
At this time, Lin Musen walked out of the ancestral hall and waved when he saw his son:
"Qizai, go home quickly and bring the best ginseng at home. My uncle in Xiangjiang wants to see it!"
