Chapter 180: Your Ginseng Is Too Fake?
Cui Zhongming was relieved to complete the transplanting of wild ginseng before the soil freezes and reduce the factors that affect its survival.
But this is just the beginning, whether the wild ginseng can survive smoothly depends on the follow-up care.
Cui Zhongming has been hired by Qi Zheng as the head of the cultivation and management of wild ginseng, and he also has the support of professional and technical personnel from the Forestry Department.
Wild ginseng is a national first-class protected plant, second-class protected wild medicinal materials, its collection must hold a collection certificate and felling certificate, as a formal enterprise, Jiagu of course is in advance to obtain the relevant collection certificate, Qi Zheng only started to collect.
Wild ginseng resources are also one of the conditions for cooperation with relevant research institutes.
With such a high-value medicinal material as a century-old wild ginseng, under the witness of so many people, the news cannot be concealed, the benefits are moving, and the possibility of stealing is quite high. Therefore, the current safety measures of Jiagu's ginseng plantation are not enough, and Qi Zheng must first strengthen the construction of the protection system of the wild ginseng plantation.
After arranging the miscellaneous work, Qi Zheng had time to process the few hundred-year-old wild ginseng plants that were excavated.
The ginseng that looked like a thousand years old had also been dug up, but there was no way, its appearance was too amazing.
This wild mountain ginseng has 3 reed heads and 6 "arms", two of which are in the shape of a pile of flowers, and the other is shaped like a horse's teeth. The stout body naturally extends out with six "arms". The most amazing thing is that the length of one of the "arms" exceeds the length of the main body of ginseng, with a total length of nearly 15 meters, which is really rare.
Because of this, the difficulty of transplanting is too high, and it has to be excavated.
Cui Zhongming was glad, to be honest, if this thousand-year-old ginseng was removed because of transplanting, he would definitely vomit blood in heartache.
In addition, seven century-old ginseng plants were also dug up because the growing location was not suitable for transplanting.
Of course, everyone only estimates the ginseng age of these ginseng strains, and if you want to really judge the accurate ginseng age, you need ginseng experts to identify it.
Cao Bin is a professional ginseng expert.
When Qi Zheng came to the door and asked him to help evaluate a few wild ginseng plants, he was unimpressed.
The unit of measurement of "a few plants", in his imagination, means that it will not be too precious ginseng.
Besides, there are so many wild ginseng in the market now, most of which are deceived by unknown people. See. Wool, Chinese net
When he saw the mallets he had brought, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
Damn, are you a wild ginseng? Are you sure it's not a big radish?
Ginseng is precious precisely because of its long growth cycle. In particular, wild ginseng, from germination to flowering and bearing seeds, has grown underground for decades or even hundreds of years, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, in order to be worth a hundred times.
The older the ginseng, the higher its value, and the better the health care results. Ginseng that is only 1 or 2 years old has no nutritional value.
Generally, the average annual growth of ginseng within 50 years is about half a gram, the average annual growth is about 1 gram for those who are 50~100 years, and the average annual growth is about 2 grams for those who are more than 100 years. In other words, it takes decades for more than 50 grams of wild ginseng to grow, and it takes one or two hundred years for larger ones.
Based on visual inspection alone, Cao Bin estimated that the smallest of the ginseng brought by Qi Zheng weighed about 100 grams, and the largest one was definitely more than 300 grams.
As the saying goes, "seven taels are ginseng, eight taels are treasures", according to the previous name, eight taels is equal to half a catty now, that is, two hundred and fifty grams.
What is the concept of 300 grams? According to the saying, this is not ginseng, but a treasure of heaven and earth.
If it's all real wild ginseng, it's terrifying.
Cao Bin couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this ginseng is too fake, it's too hard!
But it looks like it looks good.
After getting his hands on it, Cao Bin didn't dare to be sure. Because...... It feels all too real.
In the history of mankind, all good and precious things do not exist alone, they are accompanied by fakes and imitations, and this is especially true of wild ginseng, the king of herbs.
Since the discovery and use of ginseng thousands of years ago, black-hearted merchants have learned to use shoddy and fake to confuse the true, and the history of ginseng fraud has been passed down with the history of ginseng development to this day, and it has been repeatedly banned.
For example, if it is really used as a handicraft display and sales, it is beyond reproach, but it is not shallow to sell wild ginseng.
This kind of ginseng is spliced into a "wild ginseng" with beautiful five elements through methods such as inserting reeds, grafting reeds, connecting legs, grafting, and carving. And the splicing skills are exquisite, ordinary consumers can't see the flaws at all, and even some connoisseurs have eye-catching times.
In addition, some of them are spliced with pure wild ginseng. Due to the imperfection of the five elements of wild ginseng, or the lack of five elements, or the loss of beards, the missing part is grafted with other wild ginseng, and a perfect "wild ginseng" can also be obtained.
Therefore, Cao Bin did not dare to be careless and tasted carefully.
However......
This one is fine, that one doesn't seem to be fake, and another one...... I didn't find any mistakes, I couldn't see the slightest illusion, and in particular, this was all true!
Cao Bin took a deep breath to ease the shock in his heart.
He looked up a few times at Qi Zheng, who had a calm face, and said in his heart where did this freak come from? This ginseng is obviously just unearthed, which means that this guy in front of him has obtained so many wild ginseng at the same time?
What a piece of shit luck this is! In the ginseng industry, it's unheard of.
Without Qi Zheng's urging, he continued to taste the ginseng age.
There are generally two ways to determine the age of ginseng, one is to look at the stem, leaves, and fruits, and the other is to look at the root of ginseng.
However, the use of ginseng stems, leaves, and fruits to identify ginseng age is less reliable. Generally, ginseng roots are used to identify the age of ginseng.
The ginseng root resembles a human shape and is composed of reeds, yams, taproots, lateral roots, fibrous roots, etc. The reed head, skin color, and texture of ginseng root can be used as the basis for identifying ginseng age, but the number of reed bowls shall prevail.
The reed bowl is the scar left by the rebirth of the stems and leaves of the upper part of the ginseng year by year, and there are several reed bowls, which can be considered to be several years old. But this is also relatively speaking, because the reed bowl three years before the growth of garden ginseng and the first few decades of growth of mountain ginseng has often disappeared or is not very obvious, which requires empirical reference to the comprehensive conditions to identify the age of ginseng.
And his identification results are that among the eight ginseng strains, the youngest is about 130 years old, the others are mostly two or three hundred years old, and the most important is the largest ginseng, judging by his experience, the ginseng has at least a thousand years of history in the ground!
No, I'll have to ...... slowly
Cao Bin was shocked and excited, it was a kind of awe in the face of the real treasure of heaven and earth.
He was thoroughly in working mode, grading these wild ginsengs with a sacred attitude.
In the long growth process, a wild ginseng encounters different degrees of environmental stress, and the nutrients in the place where it is located will affect its "weight" and also affect its "shape".
Nowadays, China divides the specifications of wild ginseng into 8 grades: special grade, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, and seventh grade.
Purity refers to the behavior that can not be mixed with any human interference during the whole growth process of wild ginseng, otherwise the ginseng will be impure.
Well, it is said that this is a product from the deep mountains, and he can't see any traces of artificially accelerated growth - good product!
Needless to say, the longer the ginseng age, the higher the value - good product!
Needless to say, all other factors being equal, the heavier the ginseng root, the higher the grade - a good product!
The value of wild ginseng largely depends on its aesthetic form, and the one with complete root shape, five shapes and beautiful spirit is the best product, and the quality standards of wild ginseng in China have made strict requirements for the shape of the special, first and second class wild ginseng.
These wild ginseng plants are all beautiful in five shapes, with few and clear lines, and the legs are stretched out in a herringbone manner, just like "fairy light" - absolutely good!
There is also the intrinsic quality, which is good for those with a solid feel and sufficient slurry, and can also be evaluated in combination with specific data such as ginsenoside content, heavy metals, and pesticide residues.
Although the physical and chemical indicators of these wild ginseng have not been tested, Cao Bin can already conclude that it is a good product!
Taken together, all of them have reached the standard of premium wild ginseng!
Cao Bin "......"
He couldn't help but wonder if he had set his standards too low.
In retrospect, no, it can only be said that these wild ginseng are really in perfect condition.
Cao Bin could already imagine how much of a sensation it would cause after the news got out.
He grabbed Qi Zheng's hand and said excitedly, "Mr. Qi, these wild ginsengs are in good condition, they must be processed and preserved in the best, I suggest that you entrust domestic people to participate in the processing of Zixing Pharmaceutical, which has the most advanced technology, otherwise I am so sorry for these treasures......"
Fresh ginseng can not be stored for too long, of course, it should be processed into ginseng products in time for preservation.
Therefore, Cao Bin has this statement.
"Purple Star Pharmaceutical?" Qi Zheng smiled slightly, he had this intention.
