Chapter 11 Baking Ginseng
Judging from the knowledge about ginseng that I have found on the Internet in the past few days, the two ginsengs in Li Yuan's hands are no different from the wild ginseng that grows naturally in the deep mountains and old forests.
Whether it is the overlapping reed bowl, the deep iron lines on the ginseng, or the obvious pearl grains on the roots, it shows that these two are not only authentic wild ginseng, but also have a long history.
Li Yuan liked these two ginseng more and more, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Not bad, yes, buddy, let's rely on these two ginseng to make a small fortune first!" ”
However, although Li Yuan is not familiar with the ginseng industry, he also knows that these two ginseng can't be sold at the moment. Because these two ginseng sticks are still fresh, if they are taken out like this, it will inevitably be a little too eye-catching.
However, this problem is difficult to **** source, and he has already found a solution on the Internet. Nowadays, many of the so-called raw dried ginseng are actually dried in the oven. Although Li Yuan does not have an oven, a small wooden box and a 200-watt light bulb form a simple oven.
For the next period of time, Li Yuan stayed at home almost all the time, paying attention to the drying process of ginseng. It may seem simple, but it's not easy to do it well. Not only should you always pay attention to the temperature and humidity in the wooden box, but also turn the ginseng frequently to ensure that it is evenly heated and dried, otherwise fresh ginseng with a lot of moisture is likely to be damaged and cracked due to uneven internal humidity.
What's more, as the ginseng slowly dries out and becomes brittle, it's also more likely to break off the fragile roots with each flip. This requires Li Yuan to be very careful, so as not to cause huge losses to himself if he does not pay attention.
For Li Yuan, everything related to money is definitely a big deal, and he will never take it lightly. So he has been carefully taking care of the two ginsengs, and deliberately set the alarm clock to turn the ginseng on time.
So Li Yuan's sleep was inevitably affected, and when he was bored at night, he couldn't help but take out the peach pit and look at it carefully. For Li Yuan, this peach pit is definitely the guarantee of soaring in the future, and he naturally attaches great importance to it.
Li Yuan looked at the peach pit in his hand over and over again, looked at every fine line on the peach pit seriously, and muttered to himself after a long time: "What is the origin of this peach pit, why can it pour gold beads from it, it's amazing......
Just when Li Yuan was talking about the golden beads, an accident happened. He inadvertently reversed the peach pit, and as a result, a golden bead slowly came out of the peach pit.
At first, Li Yuan was still thinking about the origin of the peach pit, and he didn't notice it at all. By the time he came to his senses, the gold beads were already falling.
"Oops!" Li Yuan exclaimed and hurriedly reached out to pick it up.
However, in a hurry, Li Yuan didn't catch it at all, and the golden bead fell directly on his chest. Li Yuan didn't think much about it, and instinctively slapped it down. The result was self-evident, the already fragile gold bead was immediately shattered by him, and the golden liquid in it immediately splashed out, all sprinkled on his body.
Li Yuan's room was not air-conditioned, and on this hot summer night, he only wore a pair of boxer shorts under his body. The liquid in the gold bead leaked out and immediately came into direct contact with Li Yuan's skin.
Li Yuan immediately felt that the place where the liquid was in contact was cool, and this coolness seemed to be rapidly penetrating into his body, making people feel very comfortable. But at the moment, his mood is both scared and nervous, God knows what effect the golden bead has on the human body, if something happens, it will be terrible.
"It's miserable!" So Li Yuan screamed and hurriedly went to find a tissue, trying to wipe off the little bit of golden liquid on his chest.
However, just like the last time the gold beads fell on the ginseng, when Li Yuan got the tissue, he found that there was no trace of golden liquid on his skin. If it weren't for the fact that the comfortable coolness hadn't completely disappeared, Li Yuan would have really suspected that it was his illusion just now.
"What can I do?" Li Yuan muttered to himself while turning out the mirror and looking at his chest. After looking left and right for a while, I was sure that there was nothing abnormal about the skin that had just touched the liquid inside the gold bead.
However, even so, Li Yuan couldn't put his mind at ease. He knew very well what would happen to the ginseng when it touched the gold beads. Li Yuan was most worried that Jin Zhu would have the same effect on himself, and that would be terrible.
Throwing the mirror aside, Li Yuan muttered worriedly: "I won't be like ginseng, I will be a hundred years old overnight, right?" But don't be like this, 100-year-old ginseng is worth a lot of money, centenarians...... That's better to be free. Dude is still young, and he still has to enjoy life! ”
However, Li Yuan has nothing to do about it. If he is sick or injured, he can go to the hospital, but at the moment, he can't tell anyone about his situation at all, so there is no other way to deal with it except to wait and see.
However, Li Yuan was poor and scared after all, although he was very worried about himself, he still went to turn ginseng on time and did his best to bake ginseng. In his opinion, even if he gets up early tomorrow morning, he has really become a centenarian, and he has to live this day. And if you want to live, money is indispensable, so these two ginseng branches still have to be taken care of.
In the following time, Li Yuan has been worrying. He hardly dared to sleep, for fear that when he opened his eyes, he would find that he had become an old man. However, it didn't take long for an irresistible sleepiness to hit, and Li Yuan still fell asleep involuntarily......
By the time Li Yuan woke up, it was already dark outside. He hurriedly reached out and touched his face and chin, but he didn't notice any difference from before, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the ceiling with wide eyes, Li Yuan muttered to himself: "It's okay, it doesn't seem to have changed." ”
However, Li Yuan said this too early, and as soon as the words fell, he found that there was actually a significant change - his eyesight had obviously improved!
Because he studied very hard in high school, Li Yuan had mild myopia, but he usually didn't wear glasses. Now, however, he has noticed that his eyesight is significantly better. Even if you are lying on the bed like this, if you look closely, you can clearly see the situation on the roof.
For example, right now, Li Yuan saw that in the corner of the roof, a small spider was struggling to build a web. He could even see the spider pulling its silk from its tail, something that would have been unimaginable before.
Looking at the busy spider, Li Yuan said to himself with joy on his face: "So...... Jin Zhu cured my myopia? ”
For Li Yuan, who is worried, this is definitely good news. He wanted to see if Jin Zhu had brought him any other benefits, so he jumped out of bed, and immediately became tragic. Li Yuan's head hit the wall next to the bed hard, making a muffled "bang".
