Lao Liu's regret is not at the beginning, that is, the mouth owes is the mouth owes, why can't he manage his love to show off, if he wants to show off, he has to put the deer leg first. Look at this, his thighs are flying like this, he is still far from the acquisition task this month, his bonus.

However, seeing the piece of venison lying on the counter, the pain of losing the prize money seemed to be less serious, and he peeked at the door to make sure that there was no one, so he quietly hid the meat under the counter. Then a fierce psychological struggle began, whether to sneak this piece of venison from others after work and take it home to make up for it, or to buy it directly, add some odds to his distant task, and earn some private money by the way. Heck, it's so hard to choose, he's afraid he'll have to think about it all day.

Besides, Yuan Si, out of the door here, went directly to the room on the left, according to Lao Liu just now, this side is to collect medicinal materials.

When she entered the room, a silver-haired old man was sitting at the counter reading a book.

She stepped forward and glanced at the book the old man was reading, and the result was that the plants painted in the book seemed familiar.

"Children, are there any medicinal herbs to sell?" The uncle who was reading the book also saw Yuan Si, took off his reading glasses, and asked good-naturedly.

"What is this?" asked Yuan Si, gesturing to the book.

Uncle Yang saw that it was a child who had just reached the same height as the counter, and said with a slight smile: "This is ginseng, I haven't seen it, go back and study hard, and when you know the words, you can know ginseng." He thought it was a child who came to the house to play.

"Is ginseng very valuable?" Yuan Si had really heard of this name, and it was still in the last days, but she had never seen the real thing at that time, and the name and the thing did not match. I didn't expect to come to this world, but it was the other way around, she had seen the real thing first, but she didn't know what it was at the time.

"Worth it? Of course it's worth it. Just this little root can buy you a beautiful outfit. Uncle Yang pointed to the picture of ginseng in the book and said with a smile.

Yuan Si converted it in her heart, and felt that this ginseng was not that valuable. She bought so many clothes in the Soviet Union, and it didn't cost much in total.

Uncle Yang looked at Yuan Si's disapproving little face, and explained with a smile: "This ginseng is increasing in price in a stepped manner with different growth ages. The one you see is a three-year-old ginseng, and this one is not very valuable in traditional Chinese medicine, so you can only change a set of beautiful clothes, but if it's like this," Uncle Yang turned a page of the book, "This one is hundreds of years old, and if it happens to be good, this one can change the clothes you wear for the rest of your life." ”

Yuan Si listened and quickly looked at the pictures in the book, on the mountains of Su Kingdom, she had seen many such plants, otherwise she would have felt familiar with them at a glance just now. However, through the comparison of the two pictures before and after the old man, this thing should be worth more money the larger the root. I don't know how big it will be to sell for a good price. Well, if you go next time, you can get a few of the thickest ones back and sell them.

Uncle Yang looked at her carefully, and thought she was interested, so he took the opportunity to explain to her some knowledge of ginseng.

"In the "Shennong Materia Medica", it is recorded that ginseng has the effect of 'replenishing the five internal organs, calming the spirit, fixing the soul, stopping palpitations, removing evil spirits, brightening the eyes and being happy and intellectual'. ”

Yuan Si listened to the latter sentence, his eyes lit up, and the light body means that the speed will increase, right, that is to say, eating more ginseng can improve people's physical fitness, which is really a good thing.

Uncle Yang didn't know that Yuan Si understood it so straightforwardly, or he would give her a science popularization, the light body in Chinese medicine refers to the fact that there is no disease in the body, walking and working easily without a sense of fatigue, and the meaning of being light and ageless.

"Many people think that ginseng can become essence after growing for a long time, because they have the shape of a human being, but in fact, the so-called head is recorded in the book as a reed head, that is, this rhizome, the body is its taproot, the shoulder is the upper part of the root, and the leg is the example root. The common people have made up a lot of myths and stories according to the shape of ginseng, children, have you ever heard of ginseng dolls?" Uncle Yang coaxed the child very happily.

Yuan Si shook her head, in the last days, every day I thought about improving my ability to go out hunting, how could I have time to listen to stories.

"I haven't heard of it, don't worry, but grandpa wants to tell you, those who say how big the ginseng doll is fake, ginseng is not easy to grow, it can grow one gram or two grams every year, you think about it, when it grows to the size of a doll, it will not become a fairy." Hehe, anyway, I have touched the medicinal herbs all my life, and the largest wild ginseng I have ever received is only 204 grams. "Uncle Yang thinks about the hundred-year-old mountain ginseng that he once had, which is the greatest achievement in his life.

Yuan Si knew that the wild ginseng was bigger and more valuable, so she was impatient to listen to it anymore, and directly pointed to the book in front of the old man and asked, "Old man, can the plants in this book be sold to you for money?"

Uncle Yang looked down at the compendium of materia medica he was reading, then looked up at the serious girl in front of him, and smiled, "Of course, there are all medicinal materials here, and what I collect here are medicinal materials." ”

Yuan Si nodded understandingly, just now she had already swept the title of the book, "Compendium of Materia Medica", the man who lived with her white sika deer had also mentioned this book several times, it must be very good, and she will have to get one if she has the opportunity in the future.

"Can you tell me anything about the value?" asked Yuan Si.

"Hehe, that's a lot. For example, the ginseng we just talked about, as well as Ganoderma lucidum, are all rare natural treasures, as well as catechu, cloves, Sichuan Army, Tianlong ......"

Yuan Si heard the old man muttering a lot and hurriedly intercepted, "Old man, just tell me about those that are the most valuable." ”

"Hehe, it's hard to say, it depends on what kind of medicinal materials you need, but when you come to us to sell medicinal materials, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are relatively expensive......

"What about deer antlers, deer blood, deer whips?" Yuan Si asked everything she could get.

"Yes, these are also medicinal herbs, if you use them well, they can also regulate the body and save people's lives. By the way, the old man also talked about how to deal with these things in order to sell them at the best price, "Not only deer, but also some parts of many animals can be used in medicine. For example, tigers are also full of treasures. ”

The old man gave Yuan Si a lot of popular science again.

Yuan Si listened patiently, because she felt that what this old man said was much more practical than what the middle-aged old man who had just said to collect game. Especially in the treatment of certain medicinal materials, the price difference between treated and untreated can be half of the difference.
