Chapter 50: Bai Zhongsheng's Request

When Zhang Guodong rushed over, Zheng's father was already waiting, and there was an old man dressed as a scholar next to him, staring at Zhang Guodong with burning eyes, very eager. (三五Chinese .com.)

Zhang Guodong felt that this old man was interesting, and after saying hello to Zheng's father, Zheng's father smiled and immediately introduced the one next to him: "Academician of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Professor Bai Zhongsheng, is my good friend!" ”

Bai Zhongsheng didn't wait for Zheng's father to introduce Zhang Guodong, so he enthusiastically stretched out his hand: "You are Xiao Zhang, right?" ”

"Hello Professor Bai!" Zhang Guodong nodded and immediately said hello. Academician of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences? Damn, scientists! These people are worthy of respect.

"Good, good!"

"Guodong, sit down, come, have a cup of tea first, this tea is still brought out by Lao Bai from the base, although it is different from West Lake Longjing, Tieguanyin and other precious, but some Chinese herbs are added to it, and it is brought to the mountain spring water bubble, the taste is unique, ordinary people can not drink!" Dad Zheng smiled and gave Zhang Guodong a small cup of tea.

The color is slightly yellow, the smell is slightly bitter, after drinking it, the bitterness hovers on the taste buds for a while, and then the mouth is fragrant, concocted with 100 degrees of mountain spring water, and the body is warm and dry when you drink it.

Zhang Guodong has no research on tea, even if he drinks tea occasionally, it is wasted with cow drinking. Looking at the cup of tea in his hand, Zhang Guodong couldn't help but think of the hundred-year-old camellia tree and the hundred-year-old pepper tree in Taoyuan.

Since that digging pit and planting it, he has basically not managed it anymore, only occasionally pouring some space water.

But even so, the two century-old plants have now changed greatly, scattered branches and sprouts, and many branches more than a meter long extend from the thick trunk, fluffy and upward, a new green.

It's strange to say.

Most of the branches of the hundred-year-old camellia tree selectively stretch towards the 'sky' of Taoyuan, as if to welcome something, but in this way, Zhang Guodong's worries are gone, and if they stretch out to the surroundings, they will occupy a lot of space.

Every time you go in, you can smell a unique fragrance in Taoyuan, which can make people's bodies feel comfortable.

As for the hundred-year-old pepper tree, the branches are hideous, and the growth rate is much slower than that of the camellia tree, but the branches are long and solid, with hard thorns. It's more hideous!

The growth cycle of the pepper tree is very long, and even after the growth in the peach source is accelerated, it cannot be compared with the camellia tree.

However, similar to the camellia tree, the pepper tree also grows small leaves, the size of a fingernail, dense, but crystal round, full of mesophyll, and lustrous.

These leaves don't seem to grow anymore.

Zhang Guodong searched the Internet about the characteristics of camellia and pepper trees, but none of them were similar to them, and it is clear that two century-old wild trees have undergone unknown mutations here.

But the growth should be healthy, a little bit to look forward to.

"Good tea, although I can't drink what is called good tea, but I feel that it is good tea-" Zhang Guodong said.

This sentence made Zheng's father and Professor Bai laugh.

Professor Bai smiled and said: "Tea is a thing, just drink it comfortably, how comfortable it is, and as for tea tasting, just leave it to a professional person!" ”

"What I said is that someone gave me Shifeng Longjing at the beginning, although it was only a few taels, but in addition to feeling delicious, I really didn't find anything more special, I can't say it!" Dad Zheng smiled.

Zhang Guodong could only laugh.

The heart said, wouldn't it be to talk about tea today? Zhang Guodong doesn't understand the study of tea tasting or tea culture at all.

Sure enough, the conversation immediately got to the point.

Dad Zheng said: "Guodong, I asked you to come here today because Lao Bai wanted to ask about the two wild ginseng and wild He Shou Wu that you gave me last time——"

Zhang Guodong pretended to be stupid and asked anxiously: "Uncle Zheng, isn't it wild?" ”

This is a muddy attack, why is he not clear about the origin of those two medicinal herbs? Not to mention wild, it is still grown in a peach source!

Zhang Guodong is most afraid that someone will ask him the word 'source'. The source of vegetables and aquatic products is that he made up a lie that it was provided by friends in the countryside, but the purchase was a process of going around the market; In terms of medicinal herbs, he has been to Qingwolf Mountain. It's just that there is a number of harvests on the Green Wolf Mountain, and according to the original amount, it should be almost consumed now.

I gave myself a warning in my heart, next time I can't easily take out ginseng or He Shou Wu or something, so as not to make people worry!

Dad Zheng glanced at Professor Bai.

Seeing Professor Bai said solemnly: "No, it is indeed wild, and the growth condition is very good, I want to ask Xiao Zhang, where was this wild variety found?" ”

"Of course, it's a bit presumptuous to ask—"

A bit presumptuous? Zhang Guodong rolled his eyes in his heart, and you still asked? Of course, you wouldn't have said anything to me even if you asked. When it comes to the biggest secret in his heart, no one has to discuss.

"You know, wild varieties of ginseng are extremely rare nowadays, and there are many artificial cultivations, but many precious medicinal materials are seasonal and have high requirements for the living environment, such as temperature, moisture, sunlight, etc., so that ginseng should have just been dug up, right? Ginseng grows vigorously in winter and spring in the north, like summer and autumn, which is very rare! ”

So that's what happened. The growth of medicinal herbs is a bit abnormal?

Professor Bai and Dad Zheng both looked at Zhang Guodong with a little expectation.

Zhang Guodong had a bottom in his heart, scratched his head and said: "This, I don't know very well, last time I went hunting with my friends, I was lucky, I dug up a few ginseng and He Shou Wu, and I didn't know where to put it when I came back, so I put a flower pot next to the radiator and planted it in, I didn't care, I didn't expect it to grow leaves, hehe!" ”

"Where to hunt? What time? Professor Bai immediately asked.

"That place is called Qingwolf Mountain, in the Qinling Mountains, a few years ago, it would have been a heavy snowfall—" Zhang Guodong said. But in his heart, he said, this is not a lie, is it? As for the ginseng with long leaves there, this lie is harmless, right? Anyway, the place is so big, it's not my business if I can't find it.

"Qinling Mountains? Green Wolf Mountain? Professor Bai and Dad Zheng looked puzzled, obviously they hadn't heard of this place.

"Maybe it's the name of the mountain named by the local villagers, don't you know?" Zhang Guodong said.

Professor Bai nodded: "There is this possibility, the Qinling Mountains are too big, and it is possible that some inconspicuous mountains will appear, or they will be called differently in the name of the mountain!" ”

"So, there may be wild ginseng in the Green Wolf Mountain?" Dad Zheng was moved.

Since his retirement, he has had a lot more time, and Zhang Guodong said that hunting, ginseng, and He Shou Wu These precious medicinal materials actually exist there, and it is strange that there is no curiosity.

Of course, people like Zheng's father, they are just curious, purely curious. Don't you really want to dig up these treasures to sell them for money or something.

Zhang Guodong said haha: "Uncle Zheng, there must be, but how much is not necessarily, we ran nearly ten square kilometers to dig a few plants, and the year is not high, it may be that some bird fell to the seed, right?" However, there are many wild boars, hares, pheasants, and other animals there, which are the best for hunting, and in addition, there are wolves in the mountains, and even local hunters rarely go in the mountains, so it is said that there are large beasts infested, so it is more dangerous! ”

People outside the mountains really encounter wolves in the mountains and forests, and the effect is not great, and the effect of bows and arrows is even worse. That's really dangerous, as soon as Zhang Guodong said it, Zheng's father sighed.

When you get older, your physical strength is poor, and it is very dangerous to go up to the mountains to hunt.

"It's possible, some birds like to eat seeds like ginseng, this phenomenon is common in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, according to Xiao Zhang, there may be these medicinal materials in the deep mountains of the Green Wolf Mountain," Professor Bai analyzed seriously. "Or maybe we can organize a field trip or something—"

These words startled Zhang Guodong.

That place heard Lao Ying mention, the jungle is dense, although lush, but the geographical environment is very poor, cliffs and steep slopes, streams and bad water, there are also some sinkholes and other holes, not only is it difficult to move forward if you go deep, but once trapped in the deep mountains, it is called every day, and the earth is not spiritual.

And there are other dangerous existences in the forest, such as bears, poisonous snakes, etc., and some poisonous insects such as soil spiders, or some poisonous flowers and plants, which can be said to be traps everywhere, and they are all natural. Even Lao Ying and Lao Zhao, the most experienced hunters in the local area, generally do not dare to go into the deep mountains and forests alone.

"Professor Bai, even if there is, it may not be collected, in the Qinling Mountains, you should know that it is easy to encounter danger, not to mention that people in many places can't get in, even if they go in, it is difficult to get out, and the most experienced hunters in the local area are not willing to go into the deep mountains!" Zhang Guodong persuaded.

Nowadays, the economy is developing rapidly, but some precious medicinal materials on the earth are extinct in a large area, not because no one wants to find a new drug-producing area, but it is impossible to collect them at all, otherwise some places in the Qinling Mountains would have already set foot in some places.

Just like the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest, where the environment is barren and inhabited, the environment is worse than that of the Qinling Mountains, and those who enter it can come out alive even if they are extremely lucky.

Zhang Guodong didn't want his half-truths to cost people his life.

Professor Bai smiled and said: "Haha, it's just talking, if you really investigate something, once it leaks out, it is estimated that some businessmen will destroy this treasure land again, but——"

"Xiao Zhang, I have a request for you! I don't know if I can say yes? ”

What is this old white going to do?

"Can you take me to your place to take a look, the flower pot should still be there, right?" Professor Bai continued.

"No way!" Zhang Guodong immediately refused.

How can this work? This paragraph is made up, and if it is not good, it will be exposed. Thinking quickly, he immediately explained: "You don't know, I dug up a few medicinal herbs last time, but now I send them to the elders for my own use, and now they are all used up, and the two plants sent to Uncle Zheng are the last, and the flower pots are in the way of eyes, so they are thrown away, so you can't see them if you want to!" ”

Is this the result? Lost?

"That's it, forget it!" Professor Bai said with regret.

It's not crucial to think that as long as the basic conditions such as temperature are right, it may be possible to actually grow plants indoors. His main concern is whether he can discover new wild ginseng producing areas, such as Qinling ginseng, which is an extremely important discovery.

PS: The second update is here! To be clear, the uploaded "shelf time prediction" is just an idea, and after talking nonsense with my editor today, it is determined that the shelf will be postponed for a few days, which means that it is not planned to be on February 1st, it may be around the 3rd, hehe, I borrowed the end of the chapter to notify it, sorry, there will be as little as possible later.
