Chapter 47 The Current Situation and Value of Heavy Buildings
Bai Yi's excited tone did not make Wang Dahai and the uncle excited. After all, for the uncle, this medicinal material is just a snake poison, and almost every mountain person used to have it, but now it is rarely necessary to enter the mountain, so it is not much kept.
As for Wang Dahai, he simply doesn't know what Chonglou is and what its value is. So there's no way to get excited!
Bai Yi looked at the indifferent appearance of the two, and couldn't help but freeze where!? "Huh!?" Bai Yi made a stunned voice, "Uncle, this is the snake medicine you said, but don't you think it's rare?" ”
"Doctor Bai, this kind of medicinal herb used to be available in almost every house, and even for a while, because of the high price, almost all of them would pick some and sell them, and this seven-leaf flower is very common." Uncle said.
"Is it common? We traveled all the way, only there are three plants here, and the year is also nearly two years old, so it is estimated that the seeds brought by some animal are here. Bai Yi was choked by the uncle's flat tone, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he was lonely and unheard, and now wild heavy buildings are common?
"This seven-leaf flower used to be very common, but there was a time when every household went into the mountains to pick it, because of the price, the picking transition at the beginning of the year, and even if we wanted to keep the roots, the herb pickers in other places would secretly come to pick it for profit. It's rare to see it then. Uncle said.
"Whew," the white-clothed chief exhaled to calm himself. "You don't know about Chonglou (alias Seven Leaves and One Branch, Flea Rest. ), and it used to be very common to think that this was a very common medicinal herb. ”
"Do you know the current situation of Chonglou? Because it is a perennial herbaceous plant, the artificial domestication effect is not ideal, in our country for some reasons led to a crazy increase in prices, and the excessive picking has led to the wild heavy building is basically on the verge of extinction. Bai Yi accentuated his tone on the word extinction.
"Xiaoyi, is this heavy building you said very precious?" Wang Dahai scratched his head and asked Bai Yi, and even the uncle next to him looked at Bai Yi.
"You don't know the value of Chonglou, that's why you think I'm making a fuss, Chonglou and Mountain Bean Root both have a strong inhibitory effect on Asian influenza A." Bai Yi said.
"Like the big flu?" Wang Dahu opened his mouth and said tentatively. Bai Yi nodded.
"Chonglou has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, cooling the liver and calming shock, and is a common medicine for treating carbuncle and poisonous snake bites." Bai Yi said to the uncle.
"Moreover, Chonglou is a separate grinding and final dressing, or compatible with hooked vines, chrysanthemums, cicadas, etc., for children's hot and extreme wind, hand and foot convulsions, all have a strong effect. Children's bodies grow fast, sometimes they may have cramps or something like that, or cramps caused by playing in the water for a long time, and heavy buildings have a strong effect.
At the same time, it also has a good effect on bruises, which can reduce swelling and pain, dissolve blood stasis and stop bleeding. It can be used alone to treat traumatic bleeding, bruises, bruises, hematoma and pain; It can also be used with Panax notoginseng, blood exhaustion, natural copper, etc. ”
"Chonglou has eighteen kinds of amino acids, as well as a variety of chemical components containing flea huloside, diosgenin, tannins, creatinine, alkaloids, flavonoids, sterones, ecdysone, carotenoids, etc."
At the same time, it has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, and has different degrees of inhibitory effect on dysentery bacillus, typhoid bacillus, Escherichia coli, enteritidis bacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic streptococcus, meningococcal bacteria, etc., especially the inhibitory effect on pyococcus is better than that of Coptis chinensis.
It has a strong inhibitory effect on Asian influenza A virus; The steroidal saponins and amino acids contained in it have antivenom effect; Flea huflorin has sedative and analgesic effects; Chonglou decoction or ethanol extract has obvious antitussive and antiasthmatic effects; Flea powder has obvious hemostatic effect; In addition, it has an anti-tumor effect, which is a rare product.
Mountain bean root and heavy building are the necessities of some Chinese patent medicines.
In the past, the price was not very high, about 10 yuan a catty. Until that special period, the national outbreak of influenza 'SARS' soared to ten times the previous price (120 yuan has no market) because of the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying the two of them.
Originally, because some pharmaceutical factories opened up the market outside the province, the wild heavy building was greatly reduced, and almost in any special period, wild heavy building and mountain bean root became hot raw materials in an instant.
Although the price has fallen due to the control of the epidemic in the national team, Chonglou has been agreed by the medicine as a necessary garden material, but the price has risen again in two years, and the medicine farmers need to go to a very far place to pick, and the wild resources are obviously on the verge of depletion.
By the time of the Beijing Olympics, the price had risen to 170 pounds, and although the supply of goods had been opened up from neighboring border countries, the supply often exceeded demand.
"So much so that now we have increased the amount of purchases from our border neighbors." Bai Yi said to Wang Dahai and his uncle.
"In this way, the medicinal materials that can be seen everywhere before, our country still needs to buy them from foreign countries," the uncle was really shocked.
Wang Dahai was thoughtful, if the medicinal value of Chonglou is really so high, it is very necessary to import it from abroad.
It can supplement domestic use, and at the same time, it can also allow the wild heavy buildings that are already on the verge of extinction to recuperate.
"Uncle, you heard it right, every year it costs tens of billions of yuan to import from foreign countries," Bai Yi said in a mocking tone.
"My heavenly uncle, just this thing does our country have to spend so much money to buy it from abroad?" The uncle asked again in disbelief.
This time, Bai Yi didn't speak, but nodded with a serious expression.
"This can be regarded as self-inflicted, poor and luxurious. Excessive mining will inevitably make Chonglou Mountain Bean Root unable to recuperate. If not imported from abroad. It's hard to say that this heavy building will be extinct in our Huaxia that day. Wang Dahai rarely said a sigh of emotion.
"This is also a matter of no choice, the situation was special at that time, Chonglou and mountain bean root are the necessary raw materials for large-scale Chinese patent medicine, and the price will inevitably rise, which naturally attracts the peeps of countless people." Bai Yi said helplessly.
After saying that, these white clothes gently lay down in front of the largest heavy building, and began to clean up weeds and gravel. After cleaning up all the other debris, Bai Yi motioned for Wang Dahai to take out a box from his backpack.
"Haizi, wait for the soil I dug up layer by layer, I'll try to transplant one plant back, and by the way, tell the Forestry Bureau that they will pay attention to it." After Bai Yi finished speaking, he began to clean up layer by layer.
I saw that Bai Yi first used his hands to pick up the soft topsoil, and then began to gently clean the hard soil with a medical hoe.
Wang Dahai held the box and gently put it aside, and then the packaging film came out to fix the box. When Bai Yi got up, Bai Yi directly said, "If you can find Chonglou, it's not in vain, let's go down the mountain." ”
After speaking, he took out his mobile phone for the field and looked at it, only to find that it was about to be five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, I noticed that the sky was particularly beautiful because of the sunset.
After all, there is still a clean sky in the city, and there should be a beautiful starry sky at night. It takes an hour to go up the mountain, and it is much faster to go down, even if Wang Dahai is holding a box containing a heavy building.
When I went down to the foot of the mountain, the sky was already slightly dark, and the uncle took the white-clothed king back to the house, and started cooking without resting.
Because of the time, and Bai Yi and Wang Dahai both said that they should let the uncle be as casual as possible. The uncle directly cut a piece of bacon, served it with his own sauerkraut, and made a big bowl of button meat.
The three of them in white all ate and drank in large gulps, after all, climbing the mountain still requires physical strength, and the uncle's own pickled sauerkraut is really delicious, and it feels more appetizing to eat, and Bai Yi and Wang Dahai have eaten an extra bowl of rice.
After a short rest, Bai Yi came to the place where Wang Dahai placed the heavy building, and watered it a little, not daring to water it more, for fear that its roots would rot.
Idle, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai carried the chair in the uncle's house and lay at the door to look at the clean starry sky, feeling that the air was exceptionally fresh and the stars were also very bright.
