Chapter 170: Sky-high Price (4)

Different from the garden ginseng and understory ginseng in the previous competition, these wild ginseng are all placed in a wooden frame about 1.2 meters long, more than 80 centimeters wide, and 10 centimeters thick.

The ginseng body of wild ginseng is fixed on a piece of red flannel, and it poses in different shapes according to the shape of natural growth, and the shape is smart from a distance, and the skin color is golden, especially those ginseng whiskers of different lengths are all scattered, and the elegant and graceful posture reveals the incomparable Zhong Lingyuxiu.

This year, a total of eight seedlings and wild ginseng participated in the competition, and they were erected in a row at the forefront of the rostrum.

At the time of the primary selection, the judges of the organizing committee have made a detailed identification and evaluation of the eight ginseng seedlings, and numbered them according to the value of the ginseng seedlings, that is to say, from the number of these eight ginseng seedlings, it has been possible to judge the ownership of the ginseng king of this competition.

According to the serial number on the ginseng seedlings, the host started from the lowest-ranked No. 8 ginseng, and introduced the basic information of each ginseng seedling one by one, such as body length, weight, and ginseng age.

With the introduction of the host, everyone's attention is also rising.

When the host introduced the No. 5 ginseng seedling, the emotions of some people in the scene suddenly rose.

Because this No. 5 ginseng seedling is the first ginseng that has reached more than 100 years old ginseng in this competition, and its ranking is only in the middle.

There is no doubt that the ginseng that is ranked before him must be above it at the age of growth.

In other words, in this year's Ginseng King Competition, there were five old ginseng branches that were more than 100 years old.

This is undoubtedly uplifting news.

According to the experience of the previous competitions, there were only two sessions with the most ginseng seedlings of more than 100 years, and there were several sessions where there was not even one. And the number of appearances in this session almost covers the total number of previous sessions.

Someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim: My mother, how can there be so many hundred-year-old ginseng, could it be that they are all rushing here to gather here this year!

"No. 5 ginseng, fresh weight of 463 grams, the main body is 13 centimeters long, the longest fibrous root is 65 centimeters, this ginseng is multi-stemmed and multi-body ginseng, goose neck reed, thick legs, full of vitality, from top to bottom are "herringbone whiskers", tough and strong.

Three sections of reed, the reed head is powerful, the reed bowl is clear, the font is human, the legs are vigorous and powerful, the skin is old and deep, the leather strip must be delicate and powerful, it is natural, there is the momentum of the tiger and dragon, the atmosphere is majestic, the beauty is incomparable, it is a rare and excellent ginseng.

Age-"

Speaking of this, the host suddenly stopped, and after glancing at the entire main venue under the stage, he said slowly: "Between three hundred and seventy years and three hundred and ninety years!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar.

"Oh my God! This is what someone who hit the big luck did!"

"I've never seen ginseng for nearly 400 years!"

"Who is this ginseng, will it be put up for auction later! If it is auctioned, no matter how much it is, I will decide!"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Ling Zikai and Du Juan looked at each other for a while, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces.

That's right, this No. 2 ginseng is the reincarnation ginseng they entrusted the old mallet to auction.

Looking at the people in the venue, Du Juan asked Ling Zikai in a low voice, "You say, how much can it be worth when it is auctioned later?"

Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "This is not good, but I think it should be no problem to shoot five or six million." If there is another madman like that dead stick and raises the price dozens of times, then we will make a fortune!"

"You think you're beautiful! You think everybody is a fool. ”

"There are a lot of stupid people in the world! When the time comes, I'll be a trust again, won't it!"

"You can save it! If you raise the price and people suddenly stop it, you can find a place to cry and go! If you can sell it for five or six million, don't we still have four, and there are more than 20 million yuan in total, so it would be good if you could pay off the loan first!"

Ling Zikai looked at Du Juan's satisfied appearance, shook his head with a smile, turned to He Wandong and asked, "Uncle He, how much do you think this No. 2 ginseng is worth?"

"If you use the market price, old ginseng like this should not be less than five million. In the case of auctions, there will be more competition, and the price will continue to rise. However, it is difficult to meet such an old ginseng now, and if you miss this opportunity, you may never meet it again in your life. When it comes to the auction, it is hard to guarantee that some people will lose their minds, and it is possible that the price will increase several times! Moreover, it is not certain that the owner of the ginseng will be reluctant to sell it!"

Seeing He Wandong's somewhat regretful look, Ling Zikai smiled and said, "What, Uncle He, you are also moved?"

He Wandong said with a smile: "Although I have dealt with ginseng all my life, and I don't know how many old ginseng I have seen, but it is the first time I have encountered it for more than three hundred years, and if it is possible, I really want to bring it back." ”

Ling Zikai pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Uncle He, I advise you not to make a move when the time comes." Give this auction opportunity to someone else!"

He Wandong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

"Although this old ginseng is rare, it is not too difficult to get one!"

What kind of person is He Wandong, looking at Ling Zikai's casual appearance, he immediately thought of a possibility, and blurted out: "Could it be that the owner of this old ginseng is you, and there is more than this one in your hands?"

Ling Zikai didn't answer He Wandong's words, but just smiled at him secretly, then turned back and stopped talking to him.

He Wandong looked at Ling Zikai's back, took a deep breath, and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the host on the stage has already begun to introduce the No. 1 ginseng at the top:

"No. 1 ginseng, fresh weight 848 grams, body length 15 centimeters, fibrous roots up to 120 centimeters. This ginseng is in a clumping state in the growth process, with a total of three branches, different lengths, complex and changeable shapes, and stretches down the jujube core, the outer skin is uneven, the reed skin has five shapes, and the six bodies are bright and clear. ”

When the host said this, he glanced at Li Zhixian in the audience and said: "Here, let me first explain that this ginseng was selected by the Black Mountain Ginseng Industry Group of Bangzi Country. According to Mr. Li Zhixian, this is the goods they found in an old pit with a history of nearly 1,000 years, and it is 450 years old!"

As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion in the audience.

Everyone knows that the so-called old pit in the pit refers to the ginseng left behind after the artificial ginseng garden was abandoned, although it was artificially cultivated at the beginning, but after the ginseng garden was abandoned, it was also in a wild natural environment to grow, and there was no difference between wild ginseng and wild ginseng for a long time.

Especially like the 450-year-old ginseng in the scene, it is actually wild ginseng.

People who had not yet recovered from the surprise of the No. 2 ginseng were shocked by the No. 1 ginseng.

Li Zhixian pretended to be a little numb because he had been sitting for a long time and wanted to move his body, and stood up from his seat.

Its purpose is nothing more than to attract everyone's attention, and the smugness on his face is clearly saying to everyone:

Look, this is the ginseng seedlings sent by our big stick national election, more than 400 years old, haha, who of you can compare! I have decided on the ginseng king of this year. Isn't it a big joke that your Huaxia Kingdom held a contest to participate in the king, but our big stick country took away the crown of the king!

When Ling Zikai saw Li Zhixian's actions, he couldn't help sneering in his heart: "You think you want to take off the crown of King Sam just by virtue of your four hundred and fifty years of ginseng, dream!"

Some people at the venue also saw Li Zhixian's provocative look, but they were not as optimistic as Ling Zikai, and sighed in their hearts: It's over, if this King of Ginseng is taken away by the stick country, our Huaxia country's face will be lost to grandma's house!

In their thoughts, compared with the No. 1 ginseng, the No. 2 ginseng is sixty or seventy years less than the ginseng, and it is impossible to beat the other party no matter what.

At this time, even the faces of the leaders sitting in the VIP seats under the stage were a little difficult to look at.

As the world's largest ginseng origin, the ginseng taken out is not as simple as others, and this rumor is not only as simple as losing the face of the country, maybe the superiors will hold their leaders accountable.

Zhang Jiefang asked a little angrily: "What's going on with your organizing committee, who came forward to invite the Montenegrin Group of this stick country to participate in the competition?"

All the leaders present did not dare to speak when they saw that Governor Zhang was a little angry.

Zhang Jiefang looked at the provincial forestry director sitting beside him.

The director of the Forestry Department replied stubbornly: "No one came forward to invite them, they came to the door by themselves!"

"When they submitted the ginseng seedlings for the competition, didn't you identify the specific ginseng age?"

At that time, the specific age of ginseng seedlings had been discovered, and some comrades also put forward the opinion of refusing the other party's participation; some comrades said that it was a good thing that the stick country could come to participate in the competition, which could enhance international exchanges and cooperation, and there was no need to care who got the title of ginseng king. Some people also made an analogy, saying that this is like holding a sports meeting, and you can't refuse to participate because the other party may take away the championship!"

Zhang Jiefang smiled bitterly when he heard this, knowing that things had developed to this point, and there was no point in discussing this matter again, so he stopped talking.

The director of the Forestry Department knew what the governor was worried about, and said: "Don't worry, the governor said, I heard a few judges say that even if this ginseng seedling has 450 years of ginseng age, it may not be able to take away the ginseng king!"

After Zhang Jiefang sighed, he asked with some curiosity: "Is there anything else to say here?"

"It's still unclear what the specific reason is, let's take a look at the judges' scores first!"

Just as he was talking, the host on the stage said: "Now, we ask the judges to give bright points to all the participating ginseng seedlings and select the ginseng king of this competition!"
