Chapter 44: Distinguishing Medicine
Mo Zhensheng originally just wanted to shirk Wang Kang's gift, but he didn't expect that after rejecting him, he would actually put forward a request to appreciate medicinal materials, which couldn't help but Mo Zhensheng felt confused, and even a little confused.
Wang Kang saw Mo Zhensheng stop and stop slightly, the smile on his face couldn't help but become more vigorous, and he said unhurriedly: "Dean Mo, if I, as a patient, come and beg you to help appreciate this medicinal herb, I guess you won't be able to bear to refuse me, right?"
Although Mo Zhensheng said that he stopped, he did not agree to Wang Kang's request, but looked at Wang Kang coldly, and said without any emotion: "Boss Wang, if you are here to treat your illness, then my herbal medicine hall will naturally not turn you away, but if you just want to tease me, then please stay where you are cool!"
For Mo Zhensheng's straightforward words, Wang Kang was not annoyed at all, he still looked confident, and said slowly: "This is a bad statement! Dean Mo, you must know that the current wild ginseng is very rare at present!"
"If the price of wild ginseng is very different according to the year and size, and the expensive wild ginseng can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan!
In the end, under Wang Kang's repeated pleas and unremitting efforts, Mo Zhensheng couldn't resist the temptation of wild ginseng after all, so he began to nod lightly, and said with some emotion: "Boss Wang, since you have repeatedly insisted, you have to ask me to help you appreciate the medicinal materials, then I will be disrespectful!"
Ginseng is also called stick grass, or god grass, and there is a goblin theory.
As a well-informed figure, Mo Zhensheng naturally knows that this wild ginseng generally grows in the primeval alpine forests at an altitude of 1,000-2,000 meters, and has a history of thousands of years in China.
Unfortunately, due to the changes in the natural environment and the continuous excavation of human beings, wild ginseng has become less and less, so wild ginseng is an extremely precious and extremely rare green natural supplement.
Therefore, when Mo Zhensheng recalled these memories in his mind, his hands couldn't help but take the box in Wang Kang's hand, and unceremoniously opened it, and with the opening of Mo Zhensheng's box, a particularly strong aroma of medicinal materials began to rush to Mo Zhensheng's mind.
After a while, the entire herbal hall couldn't help but be filled with the smell of this medicinal material, filling the hall, and even Li Hu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but smell a peculiar smell, there was a feeling that he couldn't explain and didn't understand, which was very weird.
However, Mo Zhensheng didn't think so much at this moment, the first time he saw this wild ginseng, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands, picked up this wild ginseng, and took it to him to measure it carefully.
In fact, Mo Zhensheng is mainly from the point of view of its shape, after all, wild ginseng mainly grows in mountains, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests or mixed forests, which is very rare, and can be distinguished from its whiskers, skin, lines and body.
While Mo Zhensheng carefully observed this wild ginseng, Li Hu did not forget to pay attention to Mo Zhensheng's every move, after all, in this situation, it was a good opportunity to learn!
However, Mo Zhensheng's observation time did not last long, and it didn't take long for him to put down the wild ginseng in his hand, pondered for a while, and then began to speak slowly: "The difference between human participation in wild ginseng is that it is a series of cells in the cork layer, the cortex is narrow, there is a fissure on the outside of the phloem, and the parenchyma cells on the inner side are very tightly arranged, containing yellow secretions, and its powder is yellow and two orange fluorescent spots. ”
In fact, among the few people present, except for Li Hu, who could understand a little bit about these things Mo Zhensheng, Wang Kang and the middle-aged man looked at him at a loss, staring at Mo Zhensheng incredibly.
After Mo Zhensheng took in everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but nod lightly, and then began to say slowly: "These things, if you can understand them, then you don't need to come to me to help identify them, after all, you have already mastered the technology yourself, so naturally it is not my turn to do it." ”
"To put it simply, if you want to tell whether a ginseng strain is wild or not, you can roughly look at it from five aspects. First of all, there is the ginseng whisker, a long beard, old and tough, sparse and long, which is decorated with small pimples in the shape of millet grains, called 'pearl spots'. If the ginseng whiskers are white and tender in color, it is commonly known as water whiskers, and it is not pure wild ginseng. ”
"Secondly, the ginseng is a reed, the reed is longer, divided into two reeds, three reeds, thread reeds, goose neck reeds, etc., and the skin of ginseng, old skin, yellow-brown, tight and shiny texture, if the skin is tender and white, it is not a real wild ginseng. ”
Finally, there are ginseng lines, with fine and deep screw-like horizontal lines on the shoulders at the top of the hair. Those with rough horizontal lines, shallow and incoherent are not pure wild ginseng. There is also the body of ginseng, which refers to the industry standard of hair roots, and the limit index of heavy metals and arsenic salts, which is also an extremely important reference value. ”
After Mo Zhensheng finished speaking, he gently supported his eyes with his hand, looking like an old pedant, and he was babbling, saying so many words, it seemed that he felt a little thirsty, so he gently put down the ginseng, picked up the teacup on the counter, and took several sips.
Although Wang Kang was stunned by Mo Zhensheng's long speech, after he reacted, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, and said with a smile: "Dean Mo, seeing that you have quoted so many scriptures, I have to admire your erudition! However, I seem to have asked you to identify this ginseng, so Dean Mo, can you tell us your final appraisal results first?"
Mo Zhensheng didn't seem to pay any attention to Wang Kang's unscrupulousness, he just put down the teacup gently, opened his mouth and began to answer, "Boss Wang, after the appraisal I just arrived, if my guess is correct, this ginseng should be the real ......."
"Ahem, ahem...... Dean Mo, my stomach hurts so badly, can you come over and help me take a look at it first?!"
Li Hu had already seen some clues from this ginseng, but he didn't take a closer look and wasn't sure, but seeing Wang Kang's evil smile, Li Hu felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he was afraid that there was some calculation Mo Zhensheng, so he couldn't help but quickly interrupt Mo Zhensheng's identification results.
