Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu led four dogs up the hillside, tying them to four separate trees. Then, they began to dig up the Ginseng.
Pushing aside the dead branches and rotten leaves, Zhao Jun gazed at the small plant with its six folded leaf stems and gestured to Li Baoyu.
Li Baoyu took a deerskin roll from his satchel, unrolled it, and revealed the Deer Antler Key inside.
Zhao Jun knelt on the ground, bent over, and carefully began to push away the soil with the Deer Antler Key.
The quality of Ginseng is judged by its head, texture, roots, shape, and body.
If even a single root of a Ginseng plant was broken during digging, its price would plummet.
Zhao Jun patiently and slowly pushed away the soil, using the Deer Antler Key to lift out one complete Ginseng Root before moving on to the next.
