Chapter 582: Collecting the Seeds
Everything is done. Chu Xintian felt a sense of accomplishment and patted the dirt in his hands. She was ready to pack up and get out of here.
At this time, a breeze blew in the bushes, and the leaves of He Shou Wu were blown by the wind. Chu Xintian found that there were some red things hidden under the green leaves.
Chu Xintian quickly squatted down again, approached He Shou Wu, and opened the covered leaves.
Now she could see clearly that the red thing was a small fruit, growing on a slender flower path, not much bigger than a mung bean.
Chu Xintian knew that this must be the fruit of He Shou Wu.
If there is fruit, there must be seed.
Chu Xintian stretched out his hand and picked a fruit. She pinched it gently. The peel is thin and quickly revealed. Hardcore comes from it.
Seeds, this is the seeds of He Shou Wu!
Chu Xintian immediately became excited. Without a fresh breeze, it would be difficult for her to find the seeds where they came from.
The seeds are already hard. At the touch of the hand, the small red fruit falls, which means that the seeds are fully ripe and ready for planting.
Chu Xintian hurriedly picked all the seeds on the flower path and put them in the palm of his hand.
In addition, she also observed that there were indeed many red seeds scattered on the ground under the leaves of Polygonum multiflorum, which should have matured and fallen off the flower stems.
Chu Xintian carefully picked up the seeds one by one. Finally, she counted. 105 in total.
Chu Xintian took off the handkerchief and carefully wrapped the seeds.
For Chu Xintian, it was a real surprise to discover these seeds.
She really needs such seeds. It's spring. The planting season is coming soon. Now she has the seed of He Shou Wu. I have to say that's a good thing.
As for why Chu Xintian is so happy, there are also reasons.
Although in order to grow the business of medicinal herb fields, Lu Weichuan had also collected a lot of medicinal herb seeds before, and he also gave them all to Chu Xintian without reservation.
It's just that the seeds collected by Lu Weichuan are more common in the medicinal materials market.
Except for the bag of ginseng seeds he collected in Changbai Mountain last time, there were not many precious seeds among the seeds he gave Chu Xintian.
Don't blame Lu Weichuan for collecting seeds, not paying attention, not working hard. But in this day and age, productivity is low. Few people like Lu Weichuan and Chu Xintian want to grow medicinal herbs on a large scale. Most of the herbs were collected in the mountains.
Of course, there are also many common herbs that are naturally harvested and sold in pharmacies. It's easier to collect herb seeds like this.
Similarly, precious, rare and hard-to-get herbs, naturally, very few seeds can be collected.
What's more, those who go to the mountains to collect herbs and dig herbs, where do they have such an idea as Chu Xintian, who is willing to keep the roots of herbs without digging them out.
If you see ginseng or Polygonum multiflorum, which is a very valuable medicine, where can you not dig it up like Chu Xintian?
The people who go to the mountains to dig medicine are also poor. They need money to support their families. Where do they go to understand the sustainable development of nature?
Therefore, it is very difficult or impossible to collect the seeds of precious medicinal herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng.
Now that Chu Xintian has met, this is also a coincidence. It's a fate. Of course, she will be happy.
As a kind of cash crop, the profit of medicinal materials is naturally higher than that of grain, vegetables and other crops.
However, those ordinary Chinese herbal medicines have a market price and cannot be higher than the market price, so the income is limited.
However, if it is ginseng, or He Shou Wu, etc., the market price of these precious medicinal materials would have been dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary medicinal materials. Even if they are cultivated, the price will be longer and lower than the wild vintage. However, they are also dozens of times higher than those ordinary herbs.
