144. Medicinal Herbs Market
When I came to the medicinal herb market by the riverside, I plunged into a well-decorated Chinese herbal medicine shop.
A handsome waiter in his twenties greeted him, "Sir, what do you want to buy?" ”
"I want to see wild ginseng, I wonder if you have any here?" Jiangbe said.
As soon as Jiangbian spoke, the waiter laughed, "Wild ginseng? There aren't many wild ginseng nowadays, but we do have it in our store, but the price is a bit high. ”
The waiter saw that Jiangbian looked younger than her, so it was naturally unlikely that he could afford wild ginseng, probably because he heard the price of that kind of garden ginseng, and thought that wild ginseng was very cheap.
"Oh, it's expensive, how expensive?" Ebebe asked.
"At a recent ginseng auction, a 30-gram wild ginseng that has grown for 100 years was auctioned at a sky-high price of 3 million yuan. Of course, the price of wild ginseng that is not very long is not so high, but the efficacy varies greatly. Although the waiter thought that Ebebe would not be able to afford ginseng, he patiently explained to Ebe.
"Then tell me, how old is the wild ginseng in your store?" Ebebe asked.
"Where are there so many wild ginseng now? Those who hang signs saying that they are wild ginseng are just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, but in fact, they are all artificially grown. However, the price of selling can be dozens of times higher than that of artificial cultivation. An elderly man next to him said.
The waiter smiled a little awkwardly, "The wild ginseng in our store has been authenticated by the authoritative department!" ”
"I didn't say that the ones in your store are fake, I just said that there aren't many real wild ginseng now, young man, you'd better read carefully!" The old man laughed.
Jiangbian nodded, "Thank you for your advice." I'm just curious and ask about the ginseng price. ”
Jiangbian didn't really plan to buy ginseng, but just asked about the price, and when he went back, he had something to say.
The waiter saw Jiangbian say this, and said lightly, "If you want to look at the price, you can go to the front counter to see, and the price is clearly marked on it." ”
Jiang Bian nodded, walked to the counter, and found that there were indeed a lot of ginseng in the glass counter, all of which were packed in very delicate boxes. These ginsengs have already been dried, and the form is very similar to the ginseng grown in the space.
The price of this ginseng is indeed not low, it is often thousands, and the higher ones are tens of thousands. Looking at the riverside, it is really hard to determine whether it is wild or not.
However, Jiangbian felt that something was wrong with the fact that although wild ginseng is buried in the soil, it cannot avoid that the epidermis will be partially damaged in the process of growing in the wild, while the cultivated ginseng can basically remain intact due to proper management of water and fertilizer.
But the wild ginseng in this shop seems to be a little too complete, and there is not a trace of flaw on the top and bottom, which makes the riverside look a little unreal.
After remembering the price a little, I visited several pharmacies by the riverside, and almost every one of them will put a few wild ginseng, which makes the riverside a little surprised, is this wild ginseng so easy to find?
Of course, wild ginseng is not so easy to find, and the so-called wild ginseng in this store is almost the same as the one in the previous pharmacy, and even the shape seems to be carved out of a mold.
Due to the complex environment in which each wild ginseng grows, it is impossible for two wild ginsengs to be identical, and it is not easy to even be similar in shape.
Jiang Bian shook his head, it seems that Xiao Yalin is right, this wild ginseng is not so easy to find, fortunately, he didn't really come out to find wild ginseng, but just made an excuse.
When I walked forward by the riverside, I heard a salesman in the store shouting, "Authentic wild ginseng seeds, if they are fake, they will be punished by ten for one fake!" Authentic wild ginseng seeds! If false"
Although Jiangbian does not know much about medicinal herbs, he also knows that the ginseng in his space is not authentic wild ginseng, but a variety that has been cultivated for an unknown number of years. Fortunately, the role of space is relatively powerful, and it can have such a great effect. If you plant authentic wild ginseng seeds, what will happen to you, and Kawabe is really looking forward to it.
When I looked over there by the river, I found that this shop was actually buying Chinese herbal medicine seeds. In fact, many Chinese medicinal materials can also be used as ornamental crops, so the seeds are also relatively marketable.
Although the salesperson shouted vigorously, he attracted no customers. shouted for a while, but seeing that no one paid attention, he put down the horn stupidly, pulled a stool and sat down.
Jiangbian walked over quickly, "How did you sell this wild ginseng seed?" ”
The salesman had obviously not recovered from his disappointment, and he didn't even hear Jiangbian's words, and he only reacted when he saw Jiangbian crouching down to look at the ginseng seeds.
"What do you say? You just told me? The salesperson asked.
Jiangbian nodded, "This is the ginseng seed?" ”
"Ginseng seeds are not like this, what else can they look like? Tell you, this is an authentic Shandong wild ginseng seed! The salesman said.
"Is there so much wild ginseng now? Where did so many seeds come from? Ebebe asked.
"Ugh! This is the case, although this seed is not picked from the wild, it is an authentic wild ginseng seed, because it is a descendant bred from wild ginseng seeds, and there is no breeding technology treatment. And now, after years of breeding, the cultivated surname has improved a lot, but the seeds are no longer pure, and the ginseng medicinal surname has naturally decreased a lot. The salesperson explained.
Only then did Jiangbian understand, "How did you sell your wild ginseng seeds?" ”
"Three hundred and one catties, don't be too expensive, authentic wild ginseng seeds are all at this price, this is the reserve price, you go to other places to ask, they may be able to give you a hundred yuan a catty, but those are those bred seeds." The salesman said.
Jiangbian nodded, "Okay, I want ten catties!" ”
Last time, I didn't buy all the ginseng by the riverside, and I regretted it a little, this time, I saw the wild ginseng seeds, and I simply bought enough at one time, but the space is constantly expanding, and this time the cultivation should be improved a lot, so the space should have a lot of room for expansion. Maybe you can plant these ginseng seeds.
This made the salesman a little overjoyed, and he sold more than 5,000 goods at once.
But he was still not satisfied, "I see that you are a person who likes to grow Chinese herbal medicines, and I have some other Chinese herbal medicine seeds here, do you need them?" ”
Eabe was quite interested, "Oh, what seeds are there?" ”
"You look at the saffron bulbs in the top ten precious Chinese medicines, I also have them here, you see, how strong this bulb is, one will definitely survive." The salesman took out a saffron bulb and handed it to the riverside.
Where have you seen any saffron by the river? When I held it in my hand and looked at it, I said, "Why do I look like garlic balls?" ”
"Brother, what about your stupid eyes? This is a real saffron bulb, but there is nothing fake about it. The price is not expensive, 50 yuan a kilogram, how much do you want, brother? The salesperson asked.
Jiangbian thought about it, this fifty-one kilogram is indeed not expensive, of course, this is also the case that he does not know the market situation, in fact, the price of ordinary saffron bulbs on the market is not high, and many people are confused by the name of this saffron.
Saffron is indeed precious, but it is also so expensive for saffron of a certain quality, ordinary saffron can not be sold for a price, and low-quality saffron is even more worthless.
As the cultivation area expands, this bulb is even cheaper.
Jiangbian used the price of ginseng seeds to compare saffron bulbs, and naturally felt that this saffron seed seemed to be very cheap, but he didn't expect that there were only a total of how many saffron bulbs were in this kilogram.
Jiangbian was originally a person who didn't care much about money, "Come on twenty catties!" ”
The salesman almost didn't jump, and in a few words, he had an extra thousand yuan in performance, and he also sold the highest price. This time, the income is really a lot. Since such a person is stupid and has a lot of money, the salesperson naturally refuses to let it go easily.
"There's one more thing you can't miss!" The salesman said, and Kawabe asked, "What?" ”
"Do you know cordyceps?" The salesperson asked.
"Well, I know. Do you still have Cordyceps seeds here? Ebebe asked.
The salesman smiled awkwardly, "Of course not." This Cordyceps sinensis is not a grass but a fungus, which is a pseudosclerotia formed by the fungus of the genus Cordyceps parasitic in the larvae of the bat moth, that is, a mixture of hyphae and worms, and the shape of the larvae remains unchanged. Alpine meadows are rich in knotweeds, which provide sufficient food for insects, which is the basic guarantee for the completion of the life cycle of Cordyceps. Fungi, insects, and grasses are indispensable. ”
The salesperson paused and continued, "Therefore, insect cultivation, cultivation and grass cultivation are necessary conditions for artificial cultivation of Cordyceps. As long as these three conditions are met, Cordyceps sinensis can be planted! ”
Jiangbian heard it in a fog, he didn't understand this thing at all, "Just tell me what you have here!" ”
"Okay, let me tell you, I have ready-made seeds for these three things, and if you get these three things done, you can grow Cordyceps." The salesman said.
"How is this sold?" Ebebe asked.
When the salesperson saw the play, he was even more excited, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's not expensive!" I don't have much stock here, I'll make a package and sell it to you, you just give me 2,000 yuan! ”
Jiangbian doesn't know that this cordyceps sinensis also needs an important factor, that is, the climate and environment. In fact, so far, no one in the world has been able to grow Cordyceps. The so-called cordyceps promotion is not actually the real cordyceps. The unique plateau climate above the snowline of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is difficult to simulate in practice, and even if it can be simulated, the cost is quite high.
The riverside spent 6,000 yuan at once, but I didn't feel it at all.
The salesman also seemed to think that it was better to accept it when he saw it, so after selling this one, he didn't sell anything else to the riverside.
And for Jiangbian, no matter how much money you can buy this thing, as long as one thing is true, it is a good harvest. As for whether these things are expensive or not, it is not very important.
Jiangbian wandered around the medicinal herb market for a while, and bought some other Chinese medicine seeds, ginseng seeds alone bought several, with the idea of Jiangbian is that the big waves wash the sand, there is always a wild ginseng that can grow the true sect.
After everything was done by the riverside, he went back to his residence and entered the space.
This time I entered, and the riverside was startled. The space suddenly became empty, an area as large as a dozen acres of land, and the pool became as narrow as a ditch.
Jiangbian is not a hard-working person at all, no matter how large the territory in the space is, he has no intention of being a small landlord. He was going to enlarge the pool a little and then sprinkle the seeds he had bought directly into it.
As for whether it can grow or not, he doesn't really care, isn't it? The germination rate of 1 in 1,000 will not be empty. This is also the main reason why Jiangbian surnames buy so many seeds at one time.
However, how to expand the pond is a headache for the riverside, and it is said that you can get a water area of several acres wide, and you can raise larger fish in the future. But if you want to dig a pond of a few acres of fields, you can't muster up energy by the river.
"If only I could make this place whatever I wanted!" Jiangbian thought to himself, "Well, if that's the case, I'll make a river out of here and there, a mountain here, a flat ground here, and a deep water area here." Get two or three acres of land, and you can put a shark in later. ”
Jiang was thinking about it, but he didn't notice that the space really moved according to his intentions, and soon, a river formed, one side of the river grew into a hill, and the other side became a flat land, and a small lake formed at one end of the river.
The animals in the space were stunned and did not dare to move for a moment, watching their homes suddenly change their appearance, but they didn't know what was going on, and looked around stupidly.
But the initiators were still building, and they thought about it again and again, and as a result, the vines were moved four or five times, and the pear trees were moved seven or eight times, and the big gold and the little gold were so depressed that they couldn't do it, and their homes were exhausted because of the movement of the ginseng plant, all at once, all at once, all at once.
The dog general had been lying on the ground and shivering, and they didn't figure out how the new home, which had been indisputable, had suddenly become so terrifying.
Jiangbian didn't expect to think about the problem so hard today, so he thought about it for a while, changed the plan so many times, and felt dizzy, and fell directly into the bushes in the space, with his head down, his legs facing the sky, and his posture was quite a surname. Finally, the world is peaceful in space.
When Jiangbian woke up, the four dog generals were surrounding him, licking his face affectionately with his tongue from time to time, and his mouth was still humming.
Jiangbian felt a tingling in his heart, and his body rolled and rolled down from the bushes, and the thorns in the bushes scraped against his skin.
Jiangbian stood up with difficulty, looked around, and found that he had arrived in a strange and familiar place, "Where is this, why is it so familiar?" ”
Riverside naturally knows where he is, and these four dog generals are the most significant feature of the space.
"How did the space become like this?" Jiang Bian wondered in his heart.
When I suddenly remembered that I was unconscious, wasn't I imagining what the space would become? Is it possible to use the mind to control the topographical evolution of space?
Riverside is very familiar with the current shape of the space, because the space is designed according to the topography of the village. It's just a small half-mountain village!
"That's right!" Jiangbian slapped his thigh, and he still had important things to do! Jiangbian came out of the space, holding a ginseng taken out of the space in his hand, putting it in a plastic bag, and running out quickly.
Looking at the sweaty riverside, Xiao Yalin smiled, "Brother, did you buy that wild ginseng?" ”
Xiao Yalin naturally didn't believe that Jiangbian could buy wild ginseng back so easily.
Surprisingly, Jiangbian nodded and handed the plastic bag in his hand to Xiao Yalin, "Look, is it wild ginseng?" ”
What Jiangbian didn't notice was that the ginseng he was holding was a live one, and the leaves were still green.
"Hahaha," Xiao Yalin laughed as she carried the bag.
Jiang Bian was a little puzzled, and looked at Xiao Yalin in confusion.
Xiao Yalin laughed for a while before stopping her laughter, "Brother, how much did you buy this wild ginseng?" ”
"A few thousand! It's almost ten thousand! Jiang Bian said, he tried to say that it was as expensive as possible, and wanted Xiao Yalin to think it was true.
Xiao Yalin tapped Jiangbian's forehead with her hand, "Fool, you have been deceived by others!" If this is really wild ginseng, how can it still be alive? Could it be that this is planted in Qiantang City? You see, the blades aren't dead yet! Maybe it just came out of the plate! ”
Jiang Bian said in his heart, "It's really just pulled out!" This woman's heart is fine! ”
"Besides, this wild ginseng is too fat, right? How heavy is that! The environment in the wild is so complicated, how can mountain ginseng grow so fat? And, behold, the skin is tender and tender, like a turnip. You must have bought a ginseng grown by someone else. Xiao Yalin said.
Jiang Bian scratched his head, except for the factor of space, Xiao Yalin said that everything was right.
"This garden ginseng will also have a little effect, right?" Jiang Bian asked weakly, although he knew that this thing must be effective, maybe better than ordinary wild ginseng, but he couldn't say it.
"The effect will be a little bit, but it is more than a little worse than wild ginseng." Xiao Yalin said.
"It doesn't hurt! I'm going to wash it, then cut a few slices, and try it in a bubble cup to see if it works? Jiang said as he walked into the room.
After a while, Jiangbian came out with a pot of tea, found two cups, and poured two cups, "Sister, you can also drink a cup and try it!" See if it works? ”
"Well, you're not asking me to see if this thing is poisonous, are you? You stinky boy, you actually let your sister test poison! Xiao Yalin said angrily.
Xiao Yalin made such a daughter, which made Jiangbian stunned, and the sister she recognized was really good-looking. If you can dress up well, you will definitely be much more beautiful than those movie stars.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Yalin asked softly, extremely gentle, but there were two red glows floating on her pretty face.
"No, didn't you see anything? Is my sister so beautiful? "As soon as the riverside was nervous, the Mandarin spoken became Banshan dialect.
Xiao Yalin pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the cup and put it to her lips, took a small sip, and her eyes immediately widened, "Brother, where did you buy this wild ginseng?" ”
"I bought it at the herb market! Didn't you say it was fake? Kawabe said.
"Hey, that's interesting, who sold this wild ginseng as a garden ginseng?" Xiao Yalin said.
"You say this is real wild ginseng?" Ebebe asked.
"It should be true, but the fake one doesn't have such a pure ginseng flavor!" Xiao Yalin said.
"Then it should be useful to give Yueji a drink?" Ebebe asked.
"Hmmm! It should be useful, Yueji just took the medicine, just fell asleep, wait for her to wake up, and then give her to drink, this ginseng tea brews a little longer, the effect is better. Your luck is really good, this is not an ordinary wild ginseng, it must be on the vintage, just now I seem to have seen several leaves on it, the year should not be short. I actually let you pick up this great luck. It can also be regarded as a blessing in the moon season. Xiao Yalin said.
Jiangbian didn't expect that he could get a root of ginseng out and be able to stir up such a high wave, why are the people in the city so rare and strange? At that time, when Liu Huijun was inside, people were not so surprised.
After waiting for a while, Li Yueji had already woken up, but her expression was still pale, but her eyes were a little more energetic, and it seemed that the Chinese medicine still played a certain role.
"Yueji, it just so happens that the river here made you a cup of ginseng tea, and you are about to drink it, which is very helpful for your recovery. Speaking of which, you are really blessed, my brother made a special trip to buy ginseng for you, I thought he would definitely not be able to buy it, but I didn't expect this guy to pick up a big leak and come back. At the price of cabbage, I bought an old ginseng and came back. Xiao Yalin said.
"That ginseng is expensive, isn't it? I don't dare to use something so expensive! Li Yueji said.
"Aren't you out of sight? The mountain ginseng has been cut into slices by the riverside, and besides, the riverside was originally bought for you, so are you reluctant to eat it? Xiao Yalin said.
Jiang Bian smiled, "What kind of girl are you, no matter how valuable things are, no one matters." If I need something, you will give it. ”
Li Yueji nodded, and said in her heart, "I am willing to sacrifice my life!" He took the ginseng tea from the riverside and drank it slowly.
As soon as this ginseng tea was in his mouth, he felt a hot current flowing in his body, and the refreshing feeling in his body disappeared without a trace.
"I didn't expect this ginseng tea to work so well, I feel much more comfortable now!" It didn't take long for Li Yueji to put down the teacup and said in surprise.
"Well, this ginseng tea is indeed magical, and it may have a lot to do with the fact that this wild ginseng is still alive." Xiao Yalin said.
In fact, this pot of tea has already been mixed by Jiangbian, and the pot that was brewed last night was taken out, and the water in the space was also used, and the brewing time was already very long, and Jiangbian only warmed the tea a little. This works well.
"Since the effect is good, these days, you drink some ginseng tea every day to recuperate your body as soon as possible." Jiangbe said.
"Hmm!" Li Yueji responded.
At night, Li Yueji's mental state improved a lot, and she felt sleepy very early, and she went to bed early.
Xiao Yalin was actually also frightened that day, although it was not as serious as Li Yueji, but her mental state was not better, and she drank ginseng tea with Xiao Yalin a few times, and her condition completely recovered. On top of the beautiful face, there is a little more coquettishness.
After waiting for Xiao Yalin and Li Yueji to sleep, Jiangbian entered his room, hurriedly closed the door, and entered the space.
When I entered the riverside, I was still amazed by the transformation of space. From the size of the base at the beginning, it has grown to such a large scale. Jiangbian doesn't know if there will be a limit in the future, if every time he improves his cultivation, there can be such a big change, then will the space in the future be as boundless as the outside?
Jiangbian didn't bother too much to think about such a complex issue. He walked into the space, picked up the bags of seeds that had been thrown on the ground at random, and with a thought, the seeds in the bags automatically flew over the hill and fell into the hill like rain, making a gurgling sound everywhere.
When the ginseng seeds fell to the ground, they plunged headlong into the soil like elves. The saffron bulbs fell automatically on the flat ground on the other side of the river, and the soil covered them up.
Boom, it really rained in the space, wetting all the soil, leaving only a place by the river, which remained dry.
In the end, there were three kinds of seeds left, such as fungus, insect and grass that grow Cordyceps, and they were scattered to a corner of the flat ground at will, and the matter was hastily done. Jiangbian will not study how to plant Cordyceps sinensis through artificial methods.
To be honest, if Jiang Bian didn't feel that planting these rare plants might be of great help to the growth of the space, and it might also be helpful to his own cultivation, he wouldn't have bothered to get so many things. The money he earned now is enough for him, and there is no need to put too much thought into it.
Jiangbian's ability is strong, but his ambition has not become ambitious, his ambition is still a small western-style building in the middle of the village, marrying a beautiful mother-in-law, and giving birth to a litter of smart dolls.
The space becomes more harmonious, and the animals don't have to be crowded into a pile. Not all animals are happy, though.
As soon as General Gray saw Jiangbian coming in, he showed a resentful expression, and hummed and chirped around Jiangbian.
Jiangbian was stared at by the gray general's eyes and his scalp was a little numb, this guy didn't look like a dog now, but more like a wild wolf rarely seen in the heron mountain.
Jiangbian once heard the turtle king say that the wolf king on the heron mountain has a strand of golden hair on the top of his head, which is the main difference between it and ordinary gray wolves.
When I looked at the gray general by the river, wasn't there a strand of golden hair in the middle of the top of his head? This guy turned out to be the wolf king?
Jiangbian then remembered that General Gray had picked it up from the Lulu River by himself, and at that time, he hadn't heard of a female dog in Banshan Village holding a cub. Could it be that it is a wolf cub that ran down from Heron Mountain?
Jiangbian thought about it, he was really a little afraid, if he let the wolf king come to the door at that time, he would definitely not be able to get rid of the wild wolf in Lulu Mountain!
But why can't this gray general get along with himself today? Jiangbian thought about it, and finally thought of the real reason, he actually took away the ginseng guarded by the gray general in a hurry, no wonder the gray general was so resentful.
"Get out, go aside, here, you're not a wolf king, I'm the king here! If you don't leave, I'll eat your dog meat! Jiangbian scolded.
General Gray also seemed to understand that the ginseng was already a vegetable bun and a dog, and there was no return, so he had to find another place with a few ginseng plants and lie there. Temporarily, he glanced back at the riverside with resentment, which made the riverside extremely cold.
(To be continued)
