Chapter 37 Wild Ginseng
"Master, is there any wild ginseng in this mountain?" When everyone was resting, Yao Jiazhe came to Jin Cheng and asked.
"Yes, I'll show you when I find it. Jia Zhe, are you tired? Jin Cheng replied with a smile.
"I'm fine, Master, does my dad need wild ginseng to replenish his body?" Yao Jiazhe continued to ask.
"Yes, wild ginseng can greatly replenish vitality, but at least more than ten years, everyone listen, I will set a rule for you, that is, wild ginseng less than ten years should not be picked, and other immature medicinal materials are the same, because the effect of wild ginseng with less years is insufficient, and it is also to protect resources, if it is like bandits, it will be swept away everywhere, then it will not take a few years, and the medicinal materials of this peripheral mountain range will be exhausted."
"I think you look like a bandit." Du Xiaoyue said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, today's task is to pick a wild ginseng that has been more than ten years old and give it to Jia Zhe's father, you hurry up!" β
"Xiaoyue's mention is good, is my brother sure?" Qi Jingshan nodded and said.
"No, how can the wild ginseng found by Dr. Jin be given to my home, as long as Dr. Jin teaches us, we will definitely be able to find it ourselves in the future." Li Laifang hurriedly pushed back, she was not embarrassed to owe Jin Cheng any more affection.
"It's okay, I'll give it to Brother Yao to replenish my body today, Sister Du, now I can tell SΓΉ where the money to buy a motorcycle came from." Jin Cheng said that it was an inspiration.
"Where did it come from?" Du Xiaoyue asked suspiciously.
"It was the money to pick wild ginseng and sell it, a fifty-year-old one, sold for 20,000 yuan." Jin Cheng is glad that she finally found a perfect excuse, this is her specialty, she has to believe it if she doesn't believe it.
"Then why didn't you say it before? When I find wild ginseng, I will believe you. Du Xiaoyue looked at Jin Cheng suspiciously and said.
"I was really defeated by you, and I couldn't find anyone who met the requirements within five minutes, even if I lost, I would listen to you for anything in the future; If I find it in five minutes, then ......," Jin said with a deep smile.
"It's all up to you. I don't believe you, okay, now let's start the five-minute countdown. Du Xiaoyue readily agreed, and took out her mobile phone to time it.
Jin Cheng smiled and said unhurriedly: "Ginseng is a perennial herbaceous plant, which likes cool and humid climates, and mostly grows in coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests or mixed forests on gentle slopes or slopes of mountains with a small temperature difference between day and night at an altitude of 500~1100 meters. β
"Let's go, keep up with me, and speed up from now on." Jin Cheng didn't wait for everyone to answer, and took the lead in opening the way.
In fact, this mountain, Jin Cheng has been here before, and now the route he takes is also to revisit the old place, and he passed through here to go to that mysterious waterhole, so he is clear about every grass and tree within 80 meters around this road, and it is natural to find a wild ginseng.
"Ginseng usually blooms in three years and bears fruit in five ~ six years, you see that this plant is wild ginseng, which has already bloomed, but this wild ginseng is not old enough, only about six years." Every year in July and August is the ginseng flowering season, Jin Cheng pointed to a green plant with a height of 50 centimeters, and introduced to everyone, the purple-white flowers at the top of the plant bear bright red berries, which is very attractive.
"It's really hard to find a place where wild ginseng grows...... Du Xiaoyue's words didn't finish when she found that Jin Cheng had already gone ahead, so she had to speed up and keep up.
Jin Cheng took a firewood knife to cut through thorns and thorns in front, and led everyone to shuttle in the dense forest, and after walking dozens of meters, he stopped in a miscellaneous forest, took out a small hoe from his backpack, and started digging on the ground.
After a while, a spindle-shaped wild ginseng was unearthed, Jin Cheng took it in his hand and said to everyone: "This wild ginseng has twelve years, in the future, you must pay attention to keeping the integrity of the roots as much as possible when digging, once it is missing, the quality will decline, and the price will naturally vary a lot, so a wild ginseng will be sold for at least 1,000 yuan in the market, and the longer the year, the price will double, such as: 3,000 for 20 years, 8,000 for 35 years, and 20,000 for 50 years." If you can dig up a thousand years of wild ginseng, then you will become a multi-millionaire all of a sudden, haha. β
"Brother, it's too easy for you to make money, what kind of doctor are you doing, you can make a fortune by collecting medicine." Qi Jingshan was also surprised to see that Jin Cheng had indeed found ten years of wild ginseng in five minutes, and at the same time he was deeply interested in the beautiful blueprint described by Jin Cheng......
"I work as a doctor as a hobby, not to make money, and I have a lot of free time, so I can go up the mountain every afternoon to collect medicine, which does not affect my income. In the future, you will collect medicine in the southeast direction of this side, and I will go to the southwest direction of the other side, which will not affect your income. But you must not run deep into the mountains, although there are good medicinal herbs, but they will also die. Brother Qi, you should know that you often hunt, Jiazhe and his mother and son will follow you to collect medicine in the future, and their safety will also be handed over to you. Jin Cheng said.
"Don't worry, I know, I can deal with ordinary beasts or anything." Qi Jingshan said with a smile.
"What about me?" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, Du Xiaoyue took Jin Cheng's arm and hurriedly asked.
"Sister Du, you lost the gambling contract, you have no autonomy, you have to listen to my arrangement in the future, and you will help me look after the store when I go up the mountain to collect medicine." Jin Cheng said.
"You think beautifully, but if you give me a ten-year wild ginseng every day, I will reluctantly agree." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"Forget it then, I'll close the door." The corners of Jingcheng's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: This girl broke the contract in person, and she can really open her mouth, and the wild ginseng you have been serving for ten years is a white radish!
"I'm kidding you, I want my dad to pick medicine with them, okay?" Du Xiaoyue saw that Jin Cheng was deflated, and she was in a very good mood.
"Of course you can, if there are many people, you can take care of each other, and I can rest assured." Jin Cheng's original idea was to let them find two more people, but they didn't call anyone else, Jin Cheng could also understand their feelings, one less person to compete, more gains.
It's just that they don't know that the area on the periphery of the nearby Miyun Mountain Range alone is large enough, as long as there is controlled picking, a hundred people will be fine for ten years, not to mention that there are a considerable number of mountain peaks with cliffs on all sides or cliffs on three sides, and it is extremely difficult to climb, and they must be climbed with the help of climbing tools, and the medicinal materials on these cliffs have almost not been damaged, and the reserves are even more considerable.
Of course, the medicinal materials on these cliffs can only be touched by professionals, and those with a certain foundation like Qi Jingshan are not difficult to get started, Jin Cheng also started the idea of these medicinal materials, which is also the purpose of ordering Flying Tiger Claws in the blacksmith shop.
Only in these places that ordinary people can't reach, it is possible to have precious medicinal materials that are very old, such as the rumored thousand-year-old wild ginseng, the market price is in the hundreds, tens of millions, but its real price Jin Cheng knows that it is definitely more than that.
According to records, the thousand-year-old wild ginseng is the main medicine for refining the Dengtian Pill, and the Dengtian Pill is a necessary pill to help the consummate martial artists in the late stage of Huajin break through the realm. In today's world, there is no alchemist as a profession, and martial artists can only boil the medicinal materials they find into a decoction, and then take the soup, which leads to a significant decrease in the efficacy of the medicine.
Originally, a pair of Dengtian Dan medicinal materials could be made into a maximum of twelve pills, because Dengtian Dan was not a pill in the strict sense, not even the lowest first-grade pill, and it was not difficult to refine, as long as it reached a first-grade alchemist, it could be easily refined.
Twelve pills can help twelve people, but the current soup boiling method can only help one person, and the effect is not half of the Ascending Pill. Huaxia warriors are a secret group, but their scale is huge, and there must be a lot of people who are stuck in the late stage of Huajin, and these people all need thousand-year-old wild ginseng into medicine, but the yield of thousand-year-old wild ginseng is extremely low, and there is at most one of them every year, and even a few years can not dig one.
When an item is far from meeting the needs of the market, and other things cannot be replaced, its price will rise sharply, according to Jin Cheng's estimate, the price of a thousand years of wild ginseng is at least 100 million RMB, or even higher.
Jin Cheng YY can dig up a few thousand-year-old wild ginseng or thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which is a shortcut to get rich quickly at this stage.
The dragon carp gave him a lot of gold, but it was still a lot of trouble to exchange that thing for money, and each gold brick was branded with a special mark, although Jin Cheng didn't know it, he could guess that it was the source.
If someone finds out, he can't explain it, so he won't use the gold bricks for the time being.
