Chapter 13, Buying Seeds

Lin Xiaobo has long heard of yew, which is the hottest new anti-cancer drug today, the raw material plant of paclitaxel, and is the "last line of defense" for the treatment of advanced cancer patients. Known as the "living fossil" of the plant kingdom, it is a rare and endangered species in the world and a national first-class protected plant in China.

Yew belongs to CAM plants, this kind of plant belongs to the 24 hours a day in the exhalation of carbon dioxide and exhalation of oxygen, while other plants in photosynthesis can only exhale carbon dioxide during the day to exhale oxygen, at night inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, in the room and people compete for oxygen, so the biggest advantage of yew is suitable for indoor placement, belonging to this category of plants aloe vera, cactus and so on.

Lin Xiaobo was naturally very happy to get yew seeds, and the reason for this was not only because of one more rare plant, but also because of the price of paclitaxel.

Although paclitaxel has a miraculous effect, it is extremely difficult to extract, generally speaking, one kilogram of 100-year-old bark can only obtain 50 to 100 milligrams of paclitaxel, and the world only produces about 250 kilograms per year.

Internationally, the price of paclitaxel reaches $400,000 per kilogram or more. In other words, 400 dollars a gram shows its preciousness.

After thanking Li Baolai again, and talking to the hospitable Li Bao, Lin Xiaobo left the store with two large bags of seeds and rushed to the next seed store.

After leaving the store, it was almost half past ten, Lin Xiaobo looked at the map and found that the next location was at the intersection of Qinglin Road and Fengchuan Road, and Li Baolai's seed store was not far away.

Look at the information provided by the housekeeper, who also sells vegetable seeds. Despite this, Lin Xiaobo still went there to have a look, and the reason why this was the case was because if he didn't go to that one and continued to the next one, he would still have to pass by the door of the vegetable seed store.

Next, Lin Xiaobo visited four or five vegetable seed stores in a row, and as long as he saw something that was not available, he bought it. However, since the third store, Lin Xiaobo has not been able to find a type that he does not have.

Lin Xiaobo stood at the door of the sixth seed store and found that the store called Jiahui Seed Store was quite large, the largest of the six stores Lin Xiaobo saw, with a hundred or ten square meters.

Lin Xiaobo didn't go in directly, first looked at the publicity at the door, Lin Xiaobo planned that if he was still selling vegetables, he wouldn't go in, and went directly to the next one. But fortunately, Lin Xiaobo found that this shop mainly sells medicinal seeds, so he became interested and entered the store to take a look.

After entering the seed store, Lin Xiaobo found that there were not a few customers inside, the store was arranged like a supermarket, several rows of shelves, and there were many bags of seeds on each row of shelves.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came over and said, "Hello, I don't know what medicinal herb seeds you want to buy?" ”

"Well, I want to buy some medicinal herb seeds and plant them for fun, I wonder what seeds you have here?" Lin Xiaobo asked.

Hearing Lin Xiaobo's question, the middle-aged woman said proudly: "We are the most complete store of medicinal seeds in the neighborhood, if you want to plant some ornamental seeds, I will recommend a few to you." ”

Subsequently, the middle-aged woman took Lin Xiaobo to take a general look at the shelves, and finally, Lin Xiaobo didn't care about the middle-aged woman's surprise, waved his hand, and gave a pack of each of them as he bought vegetable seeds.

In the end, when Lin Xiaobo left two thousand oceans and left with a large bag of seeds satisfied, he left behind the chattering clerks, Lin Xiaobo didn't care about this, found a small road, put things in the space, and continued to shop.

While shopping, Lin Xiaobo asked the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, how many kinds of medicinal herb seeds did you buy just now?" "Because when he bought it, Lin Xiaobo didn't calculate, so he asked the housekeeper.

The steward replied, "Master, there are thirty-two of these seeds, and eighty-two of them in all. ”

"Yes, that's good." Lin Xiaobo nodded with great satisfaction, and said to the housekeeper: "I'll go to a few more places later, if not, you can remind me." ”

"Yes, master." The butler agreed.

Lin Xiaobo was very satisfied with the harvest of the medicinal herb store this time, just now Lin Xiaobo took a general look, like ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum or something, and what made Lin Xiaobo pay more attention to saffron seeds.

Saffron is a perennial flower of the genus Saffron in the iris family and a common spice. By weight, saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" also includes it as a medicine, and it is cultivated in Zhejiang, China and other places. It is a valuable Chinese herbal medicine, with strong physiological activity, its stigma in Asia and Europe as a medicinal use, has sedative, expectorant, antispasmodic effects, for the treatment of stomach disease, menstrual regulation, measles, fever, yellow bile, hepatosplenomegaly, etc.

In the market, the top saffron is thousands of yuan per gram, and it is expensive, now due to the destruction of the natural environment, the wild best saffron is even more rare, most of the market is artificially planted, its medicinal effect is naturally smaller, and the price is relatively cheap. Lin Xiaobo wanted to try it, if he could get the best saffron, it would be excellent whether it was used as a gift or for himself.

Subsequently, Lin Xiaobo, who had nothing to do, wandered around on Fengchan Road again, compared with Chaoyang Road and Qinglin Road, there were obviously a lot fewer people on Fengchan Road, all kinds of fertilizers, feed, seeds, pesticides and so on.

After shopping, there were a lot of flower seeds, tree seeds, and some medicinal herbs and vegetable seeds that were not available before, and before he knew it, Lin Xiaobo took out 4,100 yuan and left 300 yuan, and when the housekeeper reminded him, he suddenly realized that he had spent so much money.

Looking at the three hundred yuan in his hand, Lin Xiaobo was very speechless, from childhood to adulthood, it was the first time for Lin Xiaobo to spend this huge amount of money in only half a day.

"Hey, if you spend it, you can spend it." Lin Xiaobo could only sigh helplessly now, but seeing the piles of seeds in the space, Lin Xiaobo was full of confidence again, and after a while, he fantasized about himself, and he would eat and drink without worrying if he sold something casually.

looked at the time, found that it was already twelve o'clock unconsciously, rubbed his stomach, Lin Xiaobo also felt a little hungry, of course, this is just Lin Xiaobo's own feeling, in fact, there is space, every thing he eats, every millimeter will be completely absorbed by the space, 100% used, directly converted into energy, and then used to support Lin Xiaobo's daily activities, so Lin Xiaobo only needs to eat a little bit every day, which is enough for him to need for a day.

Since Lin Xiaobo was transformed by the ontological master, his physical fitness has been greatly enhanced, and for Lin Xiaobo, eating now is just to taste the taste, and it is not too important whether he is full or not. The reason why I feel hungry now is just because of the habit of eating three meals a day, and if I don't eat one meal, I really don't get used to it.

Back on Qinglin Road, Lin Xiaobo found a bridge rice money and ate a meal of bridge rice noodles that were not too authentic, but tasted good.

Since Lin Chengjie and the others would not be able to come back until the afternoon, after eating, Lin Xiaobo came to the last street of Xiaomo Town, Nongmao Street. The main selling of poultry and livestock on the farmer's street is that the taste of these things is relatively large, and there will be a long-lasting smell over time, so the poultry market is placed in this relatively remote place.

Lin Xiaobo casually found a direction, and wandered around, because of the effect of the field, Lin Xiaobo did not smell the smell, so he was in a very good mood to go shopping.

Since today is not the time to catch the market, there are fewer people selling livestock and poultry, but there are more people selling game, although they are all pheasants, hares and the like, but it also makes Lin Xiaobo watch with relish.

These wild game sellers are all individuals, who occasionally go up the mountain and hunt some pheasants and hares, and if there are more of them, they will be sent here to sell them and make some extra money. Those who have connections and connections will also sell them directly to small restaurants on the street.

Lin Xiaobo looked at it and found that there were not many people selling wild meat, and there were relatively few people buying it. In fact, for locals, there is not much interest in buying game, on the one hand, although game is delicious, it is more difficult to feed; In addition, if the locals want to eat, they can just go to the mountains to catch it, that is, they can play and gain something.

In addition to selling game, most of the others sell chickens and ducks, and Lin Xiaobo is not interested in those adult chickens and ducks, but is more interested in some chicks and duck seedlings.

On the street, Lin Xiaobo saw several shops selling chicks and ducklings, and the newly hatched chicks and ducklings were packed in baskets and placed on the ground in baskets for people to choose.

Because the weather is suitable for the growth of chickens and ducklings, many people choose to buy there and prepare to buy them back, so that they can eat safe meat in the future, and they can eat green eggs and salted duck eggs without adding strange things.

Lin Xiaobo looked energetically, found a stall with more people, and went up to join in the fun, for these cute chickens and ducks, Lin Xiaobo only saw a lot when he was a child in his hometown, and when he returned to the city with his parents, he saw less.

Although I really want to buy a few, but considering that there is nothing in the space, if I buy it, although there is a place to put it, but there is nothing to feed, so Lin Xiaobo just plans to have a good time, but looking at these lively chickens and ducklings, Lin Xiaobo, who is itching, has a plan to buy a few.

However, seeing his pitiful 300 yuan, Lin Xiaobo's heart still struggled for a while, but he thought about it again, if he invested a few yuan to buy one now, he might be able to sell it for hundreds in the future, wouldn't it be a wise investment.

In self-comfort, Lin Xiaobo decided to buy it.
