It's the first time that Xia Hanyou has heard that a ginseng is still so exquisite, and this time it can be regarded as an eye-opener and a lot of knowledge.
In the past, her understanding of ginseng only knew that it could maintain health and replenish vitality, and the specifics were not very clear.
"Miss, after reading the ginseng, please follow me to see the other pieces, and the next one is deer antler velvet.
It is made from the young horns of a buck that have not grown into hard bones, with hairy hairs and blood, and are called deer antler velvets. It is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, used as a tonic and strengthening agent, and has curative effects on weakness and neurasthenia. Deer antler velvet contains phospholipids, glycolipids, colloids, hormones, fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and other components, of which amino acids account for more than half of the total components. ”
"It is said that there is a beautiful mythical story about deer antler velvet in the Changbai Mountain area.
Once upon a time. There is not a single great river in the land of Kanto, and the animals that live here are tormented by thirst and suffering in the early dry season.
When the Queen Mother found out, she sympathized with them very much, so she assigned seven fairies to descend to the mortal world, chiseled open the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, and released a clear blue wave, which fell straight down from the clouds, forming a waterfall and flowing into two white rivers.
The water of the White River rushed forward day and night, gushing out of the Songhua River, saving the birds and beasts. However, the task of digging the Heavenly Pond was too heavy, and when the project was completed, six of the seven fairies were exhausted, and they were all mentally exhausted and exhausted, and the fairy who was not tired was also very anxious, because if they could not return to the Heavenly Palace on time, it would be a great disaster.
At this moment, a sika deer ran out of the forest, and it came to the fairies, with tears in its eyes, and suddenly saw it hit the stone mound, broke its horns, and fed the fairies with blood in its mouth.
The six fairies were nourished by the antler velvet and became refreshed in the blink of an eye.
Although this story is fictional, it illustrates the wonderful power of deer antler velvet, and many people still have a soft spot for it, regard it as a treasure, and rely on it as a basis for life. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Ying couldn't help but sigh.
Although these are all legends, they are also very well-founded and beautiful.
"There are many kinds of deer antler velvet, which are divided into two types: flower deer antler velvet (yellow hairy) and red deer antler (green hairy). Due to the different harvesting methods, it is divided into two types: cutting and sawing; Due to the number of branches and forks and the difference of old and tender, it can be divided into saddle, two bars, hanging horns, three forks, flower chopping, lotus and so on.
There are many names for deer antler velvet, and the quality varies greatly. Generally, it is identified and compared from the aspects of color, texture, smell, etc.
What we have in our store is chopping, that is, the mushroom with a skull!. Cut to be coarse, round, plump at the top, tender, non-ossified, and fine. The skin color is brown and red, fine and shiny. ”
