Five acres of medicine fields, Chu Xintian let people plant a total of five kinds of medicines.

These five medicinal herbs are all cultivated artificially and watered with water from the Black Pond of Beishan, and they grow very well. They are two to three times larger than the wild herbs collected in the mountains. Therefore, a large number of mature medicinal herbs were harvested on these five acres of land.

Before the medicinal herbs were harvested, Chu Xintian experimented with these cultivated medicinal herbs. He made pills from cultivated and wild herbs collected in the mountains and distributed them to patients with related diseases. The experimental results showed that the medicinal effect of the pills made from the cultivated medicinal herbs was no worse than that of the pills made from the wild medicinal herbs harvested in the mountains, and the efficacy was stronger.

It was through such experiments that Chu Xintian and Lu Weichuan were confident that they could bring their dried herbs to the market.

Of course, Lu Weichuan went to take charge of selling herbs.

Their herbs are more curative than the wild herbs in the mountains, but the price is not higher than the wild herbs, so there is no need to worry about the market.

Soon, Lu Weichuan sold all the output of five acres of land and received many orders.

In the first quarter of this year, the gross profit from the sale of Chinese herbal medicines, excluding some costs and expenses, was 1,000 taels of silver. According to the agreement between Chu Xintian and Lu Weichuan, each of them received a dividend of five hundred taels.

Of course, the sale of the first batch of medicinal herbs was only a small test for their cattle knives. Then, the big head is still behind.

In addition to the five acres of medicinal herbs, Chu Xintian also planted ginseng and He Xianghua, as well as a small medicinal field dedicated to cultivating magical medicinal herbs.

At the beginning of the experiment, Chu Xintian discovered two medicinal herbs, ginseng and Polygonum multiflori. They are two types of medicinal herbs that are extremely difficult to cultivate. It is no wonder that when people go up the mountain to collect medicine, it is difficult to find such precious medicinal materials.

In an ordinary environment with plenty of sunlight and sufficient moisture, after planting ginseng and Polygonum multiflori, they do not like to grow very much, and the seedlings are short and small. Even when they irrigated the Black Pond water in Beishan, there was not much progress.

Chu Xintian hopes that these two high-priced drugs can bring them higher profits. But after sowing, Chu Xintian was a little worried about the result. He was worried that he had wasted the seeds and had not yet planted the fruit.

Chu Xintian asked Grandma Li if there was a way to make these two herbs grow healthily like the others.

Grandma Li has lived for decades. She was first introduced to growing herbs. Actually, he used to grow vegetables, but now it is Chinese medicine. These are two very different industries. Vegetables in the garden come and go, that is, those kinds. Grandma Li has accumulated decades of experience, which has allowed her to know how to grow cucumbers and how to handle eggplants even with her eyes closed.

It is different from medicine.

However, Grandma Li is very experienced. She didn't know how to grow ginseng and He Shou Wu, but she gave Chu Xintian a useful advice.

"Yongjing, different things may have different preferences. I have been growing vegetables all these years. My favorite in the last few years has been flowers. Many flowers and plants have different preferences. Some like yin, some like yang, some like water, some like drought......"

Under Grandma Li's reminder, Chu Xintian immediately responded. It seems that their method of cultivation is wrong.

Chu Xintian still remembered that the He Shou Wu she found under the big tree in the Fang Clan's tomb in Beishan was in the shadow of the big tree, barely directly exposed to the sun. Even if there is light, it should be for a short period of time every day.

In other words, Polygonum multiflorum should be a shade-loving plant.

In order to find out what ginseng likes, Chu Xintian asked Lu Weichuan about ginseng.

After all, Lu Weichuan had already gone to Changbai Mountain to buy ginseng. He should know the origin of ginseng.

Sure enough, Chu Xintian asked Lu Weichuan if there was any problem. Lu Weichuan told her that wild ginseng generally grows in Beishan. Changbai Mountain has short summers and long winters. For half a year, the northern side of the mountain was covered with snow and ice. Therefore, this poses a great difficulty for ginseng collectors. Ginseng is also becoming more and more difficult to pick, so the price is also rising.
