This fragrance was different from ordinary fragrances, just by smelling it, Shi Chen felt the fatigue in his body caused by the afternoon pranayama slowly dissipate.

With doubts, Shi Chen pushed open the door of the main room.

The décor in the room is quaint and the lighting is a very old-fashioned yellow bulb.

In the middle of the room, there was a wooden table, and Lin Baicao and an old man with gray hair sat on either side of the table.

"Let me introduce you, this is the Shi Chen I just told you. After he came back from the Medical God Cup, he rested in our hospital for a few days, just in time for this auction, so I brought him with me. ”

Seeing Shi Chen coming in, Lin Baicao also hurriedly got up, pulled Shi Chen in front of the old man, and introduced with a smile.

Shi Chen politely bent down at the old man, "Seniors are good." ”

"Don't talk about any seniors or seniors, I never talk about those nonsense. The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since you can use Chinese medicine to suppress those modern medical skills, you must have been accomplished in this area, and you don't know where to throw us old things for a long time." ”

"This is Su Liben, a friend of mine for decades and now the president of the South Vietnamese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After introducing Shi Chen, Lin Baicao pointed to the old man and introduced.

"Since Su Lao is the president of the South Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, he has to be called a senior. Shi Chen smiled and arched his hand and sat on the wooden bench next to Lin Baicao.

Su Liben shook his head with a smile, "What Su Lao, if Xiaoyou doesn't dislike it, just call me Lao Su." ”

Although he said that he didn't like these nonsense, seeing the young and promising Shi Chen respect himself so much, Su Liben's heart couldn't help but blossom with vulgarity.

The three of them sat together, and the next person brought the meal that had already been prepared to the table, which was full of color, flavor and taste, which was very pleasing to the eye.

These are all fruits and vegetables that Su Liben personally planted in the village, and the oil used is also the vegetable oil pushed out by a stone mill.

Su Liben gave the chopsticks to Shi Chen and asked casually, "I don't know if Xiaoyou has any pleasant auction items at our auction in South Vietnam this time?"

Shi Chen took the chopsticks and nodded slightly, "Oh, don't hide it from Old Su, my goal is that three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng." ”

Since he was Lin Baicao's old friend for decades, Shi Chen naturally wouldn't be too vigilant.

Moreover, he only stated that he needed wild ginseng, but he did not say why he needed it.

"Oh?" Su Liben's face froze, "Xiaoyou's appetite is not small, this three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng is not so easy to photograph." ”

"I use it urgently, I have to get it. Shi Chen spoke lightly, his tone very confident.

"It's good to have self-confidence, but it's not easy to take wild ginseng away from those people. ”

The people in Su Liben's mouth naturally refer to those who have the same thoughts about the 300-year-old wild ginseng.

"Well, I have a hundred and fifty year old plant here, and if you like it, you can use it. Wild ginseng, if it is not of great use, a hundred years of medicinal effect is enough. ”

Su Liben pondered for a while, slowly got up and walked into the room with the wooden table, and after a while, he walked out with a wooden box and put it in front of Shi Chen.

"Old Su, what are you doing here?" Lin Baicao asked with a frown.

"It doesn't mean anything else, wild ginseng is really rare, but I can't use it. Instead of selling it, it is better to give it to Xiaoyou to save the emergency. Su Liben smiled and waved his hand, "To outsiders, this wild ginseng is a rare treasure. But to me, he's just a place-taking herb. ”

Shi Chen held the wooden box with both hands and opened it gently, and there was only a well-preserved wild ginseng lying inside.

This wild ginseng is in excellent condition, and even the whiskers and roots have not fallen.

There are two protruding circles on the head of the ginseng, one is clearly visible, and the other is slightly lighter.

Wild ginseng, a circle every 100 years, this is the best way to identify.

But it can be seen from these two circles that what Su Liben said is not nonsense.

This excellent wild ginseng is indeed 150 years old.

Seeing Shi Chen staring at the box for a long time, Su Liben smiled and waved his hand, "If you like it, you can use it." ”

"Thank you Elder Su for your kindness, I can't take this wild mountain ginseng," Shi Chen exhaled a turbid breath, shook his head and sighed, "One hundred and fifty years is rare and rare, but I still need three hundred years." ”

In that prescription, it was clearly written that there were three hundred years of wild ginseng, and Shi Chen was worried that if he used it for one hundred and fifty years to save trouble, he was afraid that the effect of the medicine would not meet expectations.

It is even very likely that even the other eight-flavor herbs will not be able to exert their medicinal effects.

Su Liben was a little surprised, "You only need three hundred years?"

"That's right, I only need three hundred years," Shi Chen nodded, buttoned the wooden box, and handed it to Su Liben with both hands with a little apology, "So, thank you Su Lao for your kindness." ”

Su Liben casually put the wooden box in the corner of the wall and asked curiously, "Little friend, take the liberty of asking, what kind of medicine do you need for three hundred years of wild ginseng?"

Shi Chen shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what the medicine is, and even I don't know if it can be successfully refined." ”

"It must be 300 years old wild ginseng, and presumably the medicine and other auxiliary medicines must be quite rare. But if wild ginseng is an adjuvant, it is a little scary. ”

Su Liben only thought for a moment, and then he felt surprised, he had dealt with Chinese medicine all his life, and he had never seen this type of prescription a few times.

Shi Chen didn't answer this time, just smiled and nodded, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but if he says it, Lin Baicao may not believe it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Lin Baicao hurriedly diverted the topic, "Lao Su, Xiao Chen, let's eat first." ”

"That's right, eat and eat, and when it's cold, it won't taste good. Su Liben smiled and pushed a few dishes in front of Shi Chen.

"Old Su, are you from Huaxia?" Shi Chen sandwiched the green vegetables on the plate, although the taste was not particularly good, but there was a unique fragrance.

It is estimated that ordinary vegetables are planted together with Chinese herbal medicines, and there have been slight changes.

"That's right, I'm Chinese, but I've only lived in South Vietnam for so many years. Su Liben nodded, "I think that when I was young, I studied with Lao Lin and the old man of your Gongsun family in Donglai Province, all under the disciple of the Medicine King. Later, I went to South Vietnam in search of a herb, and I thought I would be able to go back in a few years, but I didn't expect it to be decades. ”

Shi Chen was quite interested, and asked casually, "Oh, I don't know what herbs are?"

"You may not know that it's a rhodiola. Su Liben looked out the window, recalling the past decades ago.

"Isn't Rhodiola an ordinary Chinese herbal medicine?" Shi Chen was a little puzzled.

Although Rhodiola rosea is rare, it is far from the status that Su Li has been looking for in South Vietnam for decades.

"Well, Rhodiola is ordinary, but what I need is a variant of Rhodiola - Thousand Rhodiola. Su Liben sighed, "This herb can withstand cold and heat, no matter how complex the growing conditions are, it can survive, and its medicinal effect is also very domineering, it can reshape people's lung organs." ”
