Jiagu is in the market, and the investment of 100 million yuan is enough to stir up a strong wave in the Northeast ginseng market.

At the same time, Qi Zheng and Zhang Zehong took the hired team of "mountain releasers" and plunged headlong into the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain.

Zhang Zehong has a great interest in exploring treasures, and he will participate in this kind of "treasure digging" moment.

Who doesn't have a dream of getting an "adventure"? As long as he is not afraid of hard work, he will come, and Qi Zheng has no opinion.

The reckless forests of Changbai Mountain are full of infinite vitality, but this vitality is very small for wild ginseng, and the survival of wild ginseng is on the verge of despair in the face of human insatiable desires.

But in the eyes of those who are engaged in the "mountain-reliding" industry, the dense primeval forest of Changbai Mountain is their cornucopia.

"Putting the mountain" is the name of the industry of mining wild ginseng in the northeast region. This industry has existed since ancient times, and it has formed a considerable scale during the Qing Dynasty.

Driven by profits, people have no scruples about harvesting this rare plant. As a result, the Qing Dynasty government had to stop the trend of indiscriminate mining, and in the Kangxi period, it implemented invoice ginseng collection, and strictly prohibited private mining. This is the earliest measure taken by the government to protect wild ginseng resources in history.

But the Qing government's protective measures did not fully control the private collection of ginseng. Over the years, wild ginseng has been indiscriminately harvested, and today, wild ginseng resources are already rare.

Even so, there are still a very small number of people who pick ginseng every year, and they get a considerable windfall because of a small wild ginseng.

The story of making a fortune by selling ginseng has been spread by the local people, and those persistent "mountain" people are also like looking for a dream, looking for the ethereal and mysterious wild ginseng.

Cui Zhongming, who is over fifty years old, is a "ginseng leader" who has been collecting ginseng for more than 30 years. "Toutou" is the honorific title of those who have experienced in the mountain for many years, and is the leading brother of the ginseng picking team.

He is the leader of Jiagu's heavy investment. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net

On the way to the destination, Cui Zhongming talked to Qi Zheng and Zhang Zehong about the legendary story of Changbai Mountain ginseng.

"During the Qing Dynasty, the price of a high-quality wild ginseng plant was much higher than that of the same weight of gold. As an ethnic minority in the northeast, the Manchus were able to rise because of the ginseng harvested from the mountains. ”

"Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to the medicinal and health benefits of wild ginseng, and this realization has directly led to the endangerment of wild ginseng. Now, it is a miracle that wild ginseng can be found in the wild. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Zhongming glanced at Qi Zheng, and he had always been skeptical of Qi Zheng's claim that "a few" wild ginseng had been found in Changbai Mountain.

To be honest, now you can find a slightly older wild ginseng, all of which are blessed by the ancestors, how many plants?

He is more inclined to Qi Zheng, but he is wrong!

Urbanites who rarely come into contact with wild ginseng without the guidance of someone who knows how to do it will not attract attention even if they are lucky enough to encounter it on a trip through the primeval forest.

Especially for ginseng plants that do not bloom and bear fruit, and the leaves are flat and spread out, there is no obvious difference from the surrounding grass. Even if you see it, you don't know that what you are missing is a wild ginseng that is worth a lot of money.

Therefore, in his eyes, the "son-in-law" Qi Zheng was probably dazzled by the legend of wild ginseng.

However, the reward given by Jiagu was so generous that even if he had long since stopped crossing the mountains to find wild ginseng, he couldn't be moved.

Even if it's to accompany "Brother Childe" on an outdoor trip! Cui Zhongming comforted himself like this.

However, he couldn't cry or laugh at such a large team led by Qi Zheng, wasn't he just looking for a few so-called "wild mountain ginseng"? As for such a big battle? He could only say that he really didn't understand the habits of rich people.

......

The "mountain" industry, which has been inherited for many years, has unique rules.

It is very difficult to harvest wild ginseng, and it takes dozens of days to "release the mountain" for a few days, or several months, and the ginseng pickers must bring a large number of living utensils and digging utensils.

Qi Zheng looked curiously at the ginseng-digging tools that Cui Zhongming had brought with him, including solo sticks, small hand axes, daggers, scissors, shovels, deer bone needles (or made of other animal bones), and several sticks and mallet locks.

Cui Zhongming saw that Qi Zheng was interested, so he explained to him one by one that the Solo stick was very important, it was made of hardwood, used to pull grass and look for ginseng, and the mallet lock was a red thread rope, and two large copper pieces were tied at each end, and the words "Daoguang" and "Guangxu" were not used in the big copper coins, and they disappeared because of the taboo of people attending the meeting......

Qi Zheng "......"

"Now, with the endangerment of wild ginseng and the development of artificial ginseng cultivation technology, the ancient custom of picking ginseng has gradually disappeared and is about to become history!" Cui Zhongming looked indescribably lonely.

"But in fact, that's fine, at the very least, let's give wild ginseng a way to live! God has created this kind of 'grass that can cure all diseases' for us, what reason do we have to make it endangered?" Cui Zhongming, who has been digging wild ginseng for decades, seems to have become a philosopher at this moment.

Qi Zheng cruelly interrupted his prospects: "As long as there are great benefits, even if the possibility is slim, people will never give up looking for wild ginseng." The world is so big that there is nowhere to be the habitat of wild ginseng. ”

Cui Zhongming choked and glared at Qi Zheng angrily.

"Let me tell you, ginseng is a plant that has high requirements for water quality and soil, and only about 100 of 10,000 seeds can survive after 15 years. ”

"The growth of wild ginseng is particularly slow, and if the woodland soil is thin and there is little fertilizer, the weight accumulation of roots is even slower, and it takes years or even decades to add a compound leaf. ”

"So you said that what you found was 'Liupinye' wild ginseng, if it's true, it's too rare. It was only when I was young that I was fortunate enough to dig a 100-year-old wild ginseng plant......"

Qi Zheng heard Cui Zhongming's strong distrust, and smiled without saying a word.

He didn't show Cui Zhongming the photos he took in advance, for fear that there would be too many people to talk and make a fuss.

Now that you are in the mountains, it is good to go directly to the destination to see, and it is useless to say more.

Qi Zheng only hoped that Cui Zhongming's nerves would be able to hold on to it by then.

Speaking of his achievements, Cui Zhongming was full of interest, "After you come down the mountain, you will come to my house as a guest, and I will invite you to drink one or two glasses of ginseng wine." Although it is not wild ginseng, it is also selected high-quality old ginseng soaked for several years, and if you taste it carefully, in the spicy taste of the wine, there is a little bit of sweetness and a slight bitterness, that is the taste of ginseng. ”

Qi Zheng casually accepted his invitation.

In many homes in Northeast China, you can see a large glassware containing local home-made soju, and one or several white and fat ginseng soaks in the middle.

This is a must-have tonic for many Northeast people, and it is also a unique home furnishing for Northeast villagers.

Here, ginseng is not only a tonic, but also a strong spiritual nourishment.

The long journey was spent in such conversations, until they came to the place of "Tibetan ginseng" arranged by Qi Zheng.

After hearing what Qi Zheng said, Zhang Zehong only felt that his exhaustion was swept away, and his eyes looked around.

Cui Zhongming, the "head of the ginseng", also looked solemn, regardless of whether Qi Zheng found a wild ginseng or not, the real "mountain" people must show at least respect for nature.

Under the leadership of Qi Zheng, the group overcame obstacles and went straight to the groove of "Tibetan ginseng".

Suddenly seeing the scene in front of him, Cui Zhongming was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth......
