Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Hundred Years of Ginseng

Chapter Ninety-Nine

As if seeing the disbelief of his parents, as soon as he let go of his hands, the box fell to the ground, only to hear the box "pop" and fell to the ground, and then was stepped on by Zhou Yang fiercely, and Zhou Aimin and Zhang Lianzhi who saw it were distressed.

"Alas, alas, you kid, what are you doing with the good box, didn't you just say that this box is quite valuable!" Zhang Lianzhi grabbed Zhou Yang and said distressedly.

It's not that I feel sorry for my son, it's that I feel sorry for the box under my son's feet.

Zhou Aimin was also distressed, he really didn't expect that the baby who had just been praised by his son would immediately become a different scene and be stepped on!

Zhou Yang smiled slightly, and after stepping on it, he gently touched it with his foot, and with a toe pick, the box returned to Zhou Yang's hand steadily.

"See, this box is so strong, no matter how much you fall, you can't break it, only in this way will the medicinal materials and things placed in it not be lost, and the box will not suddenly break on the way to the doctor." Zhou Yang patted the dust on it with his hand and said.

You must know that the medicine cabinet of the imperial doctor of the Lu Dao usually has a lot of precious medicinal materials in it, which is also used to hang his life in times of crisis when treating the emperor.

Seeing that the box was safe and sound, Zhou Aimin and Zhang Lianzhi couldn't believe it, their son was a martial arts student, and the strength to look at that foot was not small, even if it was their own dinner table, it was estimated that they could step on it, but they didn't expect this small box to be stepped on by their son several times without any trouble, it was strange enough to be strong.

"And what are you going to do with this box?" Zhang Lianzhi asked.

This box can't be kept at home as a work of art, right?

Besides, even if it's a work of art, no one will believe it.

"Mom, have you forgotten what I do? I'm a doctor and a Chinese medicine practitioner now, and I just need a medical box, and there should be a lot of good things in this box! Zhou Yang was in a good mood and said.

"Good stuff? What's good? If there's something good in it, will the stall owner sell it to you? It's not long before it's gone. Zhou Aimin said in disbelief.

"Dad, the stall owner probably doesn't know that there are good things in this small box of Lu Dao, you must know that the medicine box of the imperial doctor of Lu Dao is not an ordinary medicine box, it is designed with a mechanism, and people who don't understand it will never be able to open it." Zhou Yang explained.

As he spoke, Zhou Yang kept groping with both hands on the box, and then his left hand touched a lotus pattern on the edge of the box at random, and then gently pressed it on the stamen of the lotus, only listening

There was a soft sound, and the box was opened by Zhou Yang.

"This box still has a trap?" Zhou Aimin and Zhang Lianzhi were both a little dumbfounded.

"Of course, how could the imperial doctor's medicine box not have a mechanism, if that case, wouldn't anyone be able to use it?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"You just said there was something good in it? So open it up and see what's good? Zhang Lianzhi said curiously.

"What other good things can there be, what else can there be in the imperial doctor's medicine box besides some medicinal materials." Zhou Yang couldn't cry or laugh, but Hai opened the box.

Seeing the things inside, Zhou Yang's face changed, not that there was nothing in it, nor was it poisonous, but that there were too many things in it, and it was too valuable.

In addition to some essential medicines, there is also a set of gold and silver needles commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, which are naturally not the kind of needles used in modern hospitals, but a set of very strict acupuncture needles, with detailed distinctions in length and size.

There is a very strict distinction between general acupuncture needles, and the earliest prototype of acupuncture needles is a needle stone. Acupuncture treatment is like a person holding a sharp instrument in the oracle bone of Yin Shang to treat the patient's abdominal disease. Yin Shang to the Western Zhou Dynasty acupuncture treatment, or the use of stone, Sui Dynasty physician Quan Yuanqi believed: "Stone is the ancient method of external treatment,......, ancient failed to cast iron, so the stone is used as a needle, so the needle stone." ”

In fact, it can be said that the acupuncture needles in ancient times can be regarded as the best, and the imperial doctor in the palace can be said to be the best among them, and the two sets of gold needles and silver needles in the medicine box are undoubtedly the best choice in terms of craftsmanship and techniques.

With this set of gold and silver needles, the value of this chest can be said to be incomparably precious. Not to mention that there are other things in there.

In addition to these two sets of needles, there are many very cherished Chinese medicinal materials in the box, among which there is a well-preserved century-old ginseng, which Zhou Yang can't see the specific ginseng age, but it is certain that it has been a hundred years.

And the preservation is still quite complete, obviously it was handled before, Zhou Yang picked up the ginseng and put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

"Fortunately, this ginseng has been processed very well before, and the medicinal effect has not been lost." Zhou Yang said excitedly.

"It's all an old box, and after all this time, this ginseng can still be used? Also, is this ginseng valuable? Zhou Aimin was puzzled.

"Dad, as long as this ginseng is handled well and does not lose its efficacy, it will definitely be used, and it has nothing to do with time. If you want to talk about the value, it is worth about a million, but this is not the main thing, the main thing is that this ginseng can be used to save your life in times of crisis, which is not measured by money. Zhou Yang said.

Million? So valuable?

"I heard that this ginseng depends on age, how old is this ginseng? Is it a thousand-year-old ginseng? Zhang Lianzhi said curiously.

In her opinion, this ginseng is so valuable, it must be the same age as the legendary thousand-year-old king 80,000-year-old turtle.

"I also think that it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, if it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, it will be worth hundreds of millions, it depends on whether I am willing to sell it, I haven't looked at this ginseng specifically, it must be over a hundred years after a rough knock, and I will have to take a closer look at how many years it is." Zhou Yang said.

Judging the age of ginseng, Zhou Yang is a good person, and generally the age of ginseng depends on the reed, vessel, body, whiskers and pearl points of ginseng

The reed of ginseng grows on the reed, usually one a year, and the higher the density of the reed bowl, the longer the age of the ginseng. The round reed at the bottom takes more than 30 years to grow before it can show its shape. Moreover, ginseng usually does not have ring lines on the mouth, and only ginseng that is particularly old will have lines on the mouth. In addition, looking at the skin is also a method used to determine the age of ginseng. Ginseng grows in a harsh natural environment for decades or even hundreds of years, and the older the skin on the ginseng body, the darker the color, and the older the ginseng. Ginseng is used by ginseng to absorb nutrients, and the older the ginseng, the rarer the ginseng beard, so the old ginseng must be concise and refreshing. Ginseng grows underground for decades, and many ginseng whiskers will rot and grow again, and the rotten ginseng whiskers will leave scars, that is, pearl spots, so the more pearl spots, the older the ginseng will be.

The older the ginseng, the higher the value, and ginseng weighing more than 50 grams will take decades to grow, and the larger ones will take one or two hundred years. As the saying goes: seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures.

And the ginseng in Zhou Yang's hand, the reeds are round and long, the skin is old and yellow, the lines are fine, the body is beautiful, the whip beard, and the pearl knots are numerous, these characteristics are consistent with these characteristics of Zhou Yang's Zhilu Dao, and it must be a ginseng that is more than 100 years old.

Zhou Yang had already thought about the use of this ginseng, and thinking of this, Zhou Yang looked at his parents beside him, and couldn't help but show a strange smile on his face...... ps: You can take a look at some of the judgment characteristics of century-old ginseng, when you have nothing to do, go to the deep mountains and old forests to find some digging, and you may be able to make a daughter-in-law's money~ Moreover, ginseng is still a big supplement~Big supplement~
