Chapter 178: Rare Ginseng Meadow
Before dinner, when Bai Chen came back, he not only brought Ye Wanwan a large fresh sugar cane, but also brought her very good news.
"When I came back just now, I met Yuanmu, and he said that a wild man from the tribe found a ginseng meadow today."
Ye Wanwan looked at him while petting the cat, "Ginseng grass? Is it the kind of precious herb you talked about before? ”
Bai Chen Zhengse nodded, "Ginseng grass can cure all diseases, I don't know how many savages dream of something." It's a pity that the growth of ginseng grass has high requirements for the soil, and the land here generally does not meet such requirements, so it is rare to see ginseng grass. ”
Ye Wanwan let out an "oh", but she was not very interested.
In fact, she had heard Bai Chen and others mention this thing before, and each of them had a serious look when they talked about ginseng grass, which could cure all diseases, but in fact, after a deeper understanding, they would find that it was not the case.
Ye Wanwan knew very well that if this thing was placed in modern human society, it would be just an ordinary herb. It's just that the primitive tribes lack of material, coupled with the lack of knowledge of the savages, why they hold the ginseng grass so high.
Of course, this is not completely incomprehensible, mainly because ginseng herb has a strong therapeutic effect on typhoid fever. You must know that one of the nemesis of the savages is fever, fever is incurable for them, and the number of people who die from this disease every year is countless, if everyone is sick and there is ginseng grass available, then the mortality rate of the primitive tribe can be reduced a lot.
This is the biggest reason why they worship ginseng herb as a treasure.
Of course, there are other uses for this herb. It can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce inflammation, and replenish physical strength for weak people.
Seeing that she didn't react anything else, Bai Chen knew that she didn't care much about it.
But he knew that the other thing he said next would definitely attract Wanwan's attention.
"It's very rare to be able to find a piece of small ginseng grass here in us, and the ginseng grass growing on it is enough for the Cangyuan tribe to use it for several years. It's just that the place is too hidden and not in the tribe, so Cangyuan wants to find someone to guard those ginseng grasses, for fear of being seized by other savages. Bai Chen said.
Ginseng grass is very delicate and completely fails after more than five minutes after leaving the soil. Therefore, no matter who wants to occupy them, it is absolutely impossible to pick them all and store them, so they can only be grown in the land all the time, when they need to be used, and when they can be picked now.
Ye Wanwan blinked, "Why is the ginseng grass so troublesome, it's a pity that the ginseng grass is not in the tribe, Cangyuan can't help it even if he wants to look at it every day." If you have to occupy them all, you can only find someone to watch them. ”
However, if different clansmen are arranged to keep an eye on it every day and night, it will be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
At this time, Bai Chen replied, "Cangyuan has already thought of an idea. It happened that there was a wasteland without an owner in the vicinity, so he planned to let the tribesmen develop the ginseng meadow and some of the surrounding land into a territory with an owner. As long as someone is willing to go there to guard the ginseng grassland, then who is the owner of this territory, Cangyuan They don't want this territory, as long as the unlimited use of ginseng grass in it. ”
