Chapter 3 I don't read much, don't lie to me!

The true mallettes are in awe of the mountains, believing that they will be punished by the mountain gods for breaking the rules. It's just that in recent years, more and more outsiders have poured into Changbai Mountain to dig ginseng, these rules have long been broken, and at the same time, the number of wild ginseng in Changbai Mountain is getting smaller and smaller, and the price is naturally becoming more and more expensive.

According to the current price on the market, real wild ginseng is worth at least 10,000 yuan. If the age is long and the quality is good, the price will reach hundreds of thousands or even millions.

In addition to the excitement, Ye Xuan was eager to share this joy with others, so he picked up his mobile phone, pointed the live camera at ginseng, and asked with a smile: "Do any viewers know what kind of plant this is?"

In the live broadcast room, there are only a few people at the moment. These viewers originally saw that Ye Xuan was just walking with his head bored and not talking, and was about to change to a live broadcast room, when they suddenly saw him asking, and immediately looked at the plant curiously through the screen.

"Tomatoes, this viewer, you seem to be deliberately making me laugh!" Looking at the seven or eight barrages floating on the live broadcast screen, Ye Xuan's face was full of black lines. He can understand strawberries or berries, but tomatoes are too much.

He didn't find it strange that these viewers guessed wrong. After all, the ginseng on the market is only a rhizome with medicinal value. Few people know what the stems and leaves of ginseng look like when they grow outside the land. Just like he used to think that pineapples grow on trees, but later learned that pineapples, like watermelons, grow in the ground.

Half-kneeling on the ground, Ye Xuan slowly pulled the live broadcast camera closer, allowing the audience to watch the branches and leaves of ginseng more clearly, and at the same time said: "Now reveal the answer, this is a wild ginseng!"

As soon as the words fell, several barrages appeared again in the live broadcast room.

"Wild ginseng, really?"

"Anchor, I don't read much, don't lie to me. ”

"Damn, I just checked Baidu, and TM is really ginseng. ”

"666, the anchor is rich!"

"It's amazing my brother, wild ginseng can sell for at least thousands. ”

"Doesn't it say that ginseng can't be dug up if the year is not enough? But how to judge whether the year is enough or not, and solve it. ”

...

Before coming to Changbai Mountain, Ye Xuan also did a lot of homework. When an audience member asked how to tell the year of ginseng, he smiled and said, "Generally speaking, there are two ways to distinguish ginseng. The first is distinguished by stems, leaves, and fruits. However, there is a big error in this method, so the second method will be used by professional ginseng diggers, that is, to observe the reed mouth of ginseng. ”

Seeing that the audience was confused, Ye Xuan leaned down and explained: "The so-called Lukou is the place where the roots of ginseng are connected to the stems and leaves on the ground. In late autumn every year, the stems and leaves of the ginseng begin to wither and fall off, and a small bowl-shaped scar gradually forms at the junction. In the spring of the following year, the ginseng will regrow new stems and leaves, and over again, the reeds slowly accumulate circles of scars, each of which represents the year of the ginseng. I only need to peel back the top layer of dirt and look at how many circles of scars this ginseng has to get a rough idea of its age without any effect on the ginseng. ”

For a while, the audience in the live broadcast room involuntarily brushed up 666...

It takes a long time for a ginseng, especially wild ginseng, to mature completely. If someone digs it up before it grows, it will die completely. Ye Xuan didn't want this to happen to him, so his movements were very light, as if he was catching a beautiful butterfly, and he brushed away the soil under the stems and leaves with great lightness.

In just three or two clicks, the mouth of ginseng was exposed under the soil, and looking at the dense scars, Ye Xuan suddenly felt happy in his heart. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, holding his mobile phone and began to carefully count the scars on the reeds.

There are 18 scars, which means that the year of this ginseng plant is 18 years!

Due to overexploitation over the past 100 years, the number of wild ginseng has been declining sharply. At present, there are very few ginseng of this year in the market, as long as the quality is not too bad, there are definitely a lot of people who will rush to ask for it.

After confirming that this ginseng was ripe, Ye Xuan had no scruples. After putting down the phone, slowly start digging down the reed mouth with both hands. He didn't dare to use the shovel, for fear of hurting the ginseng beard, which would lead to poor quality and a big discount in price.

Fortunately, the soil in the dense forest is fertile and loose, so even digging by hand is effortless.

If you dig up the rhizomes of other plants, you can do it in three or two clicks. But to dig this ginseng, Ye Xuan spent a full half an hour.

Ginseng is not large and is only the thickness of a thumb with two branches underneath. Not to mention, it really looks like a villain all of a sudden. This is the unique appearance of wild ginseng, and other types of ginseng do not have such a peculiar shape. After looking at it repeatedly to make sure that there were no moths and broken ginseng whiskers, he nodded with satisfaction.

After carefully removing the soil from the ginseng, I took it in my hand and weighed the amount, which was about 300 grams. However, after washing and dehydration, the amount will be reduced by at least about half. Then he put the ginseng in front of his mobile phone and let the audience in the live broadcast room take a clear look.

"666, I'll take this wave. ”

"Damn, it's really ginseng!"

"Which big guy knows how much such ginseng is worth?"

"Nima, this luck is simply invincible, there are really wild ginseng in this year!"

"I checked it just now, and I feel that ginseng is not expensive, you can buy it for a few dozen dollars. ”

"Upstairs, are you stupid? Can artificially planted garden ginseng compare to wild mountain ginseng?"

"That brother for a few dozen dollars, are you here to be funny?"

"By the way, why does this ginseng have so little ginseng?"

...

Ye Xuan was very happy at this time, it seemed that since he dug up that watch, his luck began to improve. Glancing at the barrage in the live broadcast room, he explained with a smile on his face: "I saw that some viewers asked me why there were so few ginseng, and I explained that in fact, the older the ginseng, the less ginseng." Because the tiny ginseng is left underground for too long, it will gradually decay. Like some hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, only a few ginseng whiskers will remain. ”

"Although the ginseng in my hand is not perfect, it is not bad, according to the current market price, the price is about 5-80,000 yuan. ”

Hearing that this ginseng can be sold for tens of thousands, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately expressed envy. From the moment he discovered ginseng to now, the number of people in the live broadcast room has unconsciously changed from a few people to nearly a hundred.
