Chapter 37: Selling Ginseng (I)

Because of what happened before, this meal was somewhat unpleasant, and although Shiyi and her mother tried their best to redeem it at the table, it was difficult to return to the same harmony as before.

After the meal, Chen Dongping left under the pretext that there was still something in the factory.

The goal has been achieved, Xia Li felt that it was not interesting to stay, and said goodbye to Shiyi's mother and prepared to leave.

Walking out of the door, Shiyi's mother said softly: "Xiao Xia, Shiyi's father is too concerned about Nannan, maybe he talks a little heavier, you must not take it to heart, you will have time to play often in the future." ”

Xia Li smiled and nodded, "Aunt Chen, don't worry, I will come over to see you and my uncle as long as I have time in the future." ”

Shiyi's mother also nodded happily, she is different from her husband, but today she likes the strength of this kid, he seems to see the shadow of her young husband from Xia Li.

Finally she glanced at the two young men, and then turned back into the house, leaving room for them.

Looking at Shi Yi's reluctant expression, Xia Qian was a little uncomfortable, he was actually quite disgusted with this feeling of parting: "I'm leaving, you should go in early, I will come to see you as long as I have time when I am busy during this time." ”

"You just have this heart, it's so far away, you often run and I'm worried about you, so let's go back quickly while it's still dark."

After saying goodbye to Shiyi, Xia Li did not leave the provincial capital, but stopped a taxi.

"Master, Dafeng Road Medicinal Material Market."

Sitting in the car, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, then threw his consciousness into space.

After the acceleration of the past few days, the medicinal materials in the space have grown gratifyingly.

The unexpected joy is that the ginseng was found to have bloomed yesterday, and the seeds of the ginseng are in the flowers, and after leaving the seeds, he is not afraid that there will be no follow-up after selling this plant.

There are many beautiful legends about ginseng, and in the legend, thousands of people have grown into fat dolls wearing red belly pockets, beautiful girls wearing red flowers, and kind-hearted old men helping people who are suffering.

Of course, that is a legend after all, but the growth rate of ginseng is extremely slow, only about one gram per year.

The shape of its roots is similar to that of a human, hence the name "ginseng".

The medicinal value of ginseng is also very high, with the effect of replenishing the five organs, calming the spirit, calming the soul, stopping fright, removing evil spirits, brightening the eyes, being happy, and intellect, and prolonging life after a long time.

It is often referred to as "the fairy grass that comes back from the dead."

Ginseng usually grows one leaf a year, but stops growing leaves in the sixth year.

Consciousness controls the soil around the ginseng and pulls it out with gentle force.

He knew that the integrity of ginseng would not damage its value, and once the ginseng was cut off, the price would be greatly reduced.

After digging it out, Xia Li was a little dumbfounded, he measured how it was more than one meter, this was the first time he had seen such a big ginseng.

After washing with water, looking at the ginseng whiskers that were dragged on the ground one by one, he was a little worried, how could he bring such a big ginseng over?

It's too conspicuous to take it out, and it's completely inconsistent with his low-key character.

Fortunately, the bed sheet from the last time had not been taken out, so he wrapped it inside and out, making sure that others could not see it, so he waited to find a remote place to take it out after getting out of the car.

The most famous place to purchase medicinal materials in Chuanshan Province is the "Fengshou Road Chinese Herbal Medicine Market", which is one of the important professional markets for the operation and circulation of medicinal materials in the country officially approved by the government.

After paying and getting out of the car, Xia Li found a place where no one was there and took out the ginseng, he looked around the market and found that it was a market, but it was not as crowded and bustling as other markets, but it was a little deserted.

Basically, there are not a few customers in each store, and some even have no one, only the owner is reading the newspaper or drinking tea.

The bosses didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if this was normal.

Xia Li chooses a store that looks ordinary on the outside, but has a hole on the inside.

The boss was a middle-aged man in his thirties and nearly forty, and when he saw Xia Li walking in, he stepped forward to greet him and said.

"I don't know what medicinal herbs the little brother wants? Our store not only has a complete variety, but also the price is absolutely fair..... Of course, if there are no herbs in our store, we will also contact you to have them. ”

"Can you take a look first?"

The little brother laughed, how could there be no guest to see. Please feel free to take a look. ”

Xia Li browsed the prices of various medicines everywhere in front of the medicine shelves. Only a few samples were emitted in each place, and a plastic sign stood in front of it, indicating the price.

Whenever Xia Li's eyes stayed on that medicinal herb for a little longer, the boss would explain in detail and promote this medicinal herb.

After turning around, there are actually two prices for ginseng. One is artificially cultivated, only twelve yuan a gram; The other is wild, twenty-eight dollars a gram. The price of wild ones has more than tripled compared to those cultivated in artificiality.

"I'm not here to buy medicine, I'm here to sell medicine." After stopping, Xia Li said.

"Oh, selling medicine? I wonder what kind of medicine Mr. wants to sell? If the quality is good, we will also offer a satisfactory price to Mr. ”

"Ginseng, and it's wild."

If you look at it alone, Xia Li can't tell the difference between artificially cultivated and wild. But through the comparison of the two just now, you can be sure that the ginseng here is definitely wild, and the quality is much better than that placed in this store, and it is said to be the best in the wild.

"Can you take it out and have a look at it first?"

Xia Li walked out of the door and said that the ginseng that was placed in the car was brought in.

The owner of the pharmacy took it and opened it, and his eyes lit up at that time, but then he didn't react again, and he couldn't see any expression on his face. If it weren't for Xia Li's constant observation of his expression, he really thought he didn't react.

Closing the box, the boss said, "It does look like wild ginseng, but can you let me identify it?" ”

"Please."

"Hehe, let Mr. smile, business is not easy to do these days."

"Understandable."

In recent years, there have been too many counterfeit products, and it is not for nothing that the boss has been blinded because of his self-confidence.

The boss took the ginseng in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then instructed the staff in the store to pour a cup of tea.

Xia Li doesn't know a lot about medicinal materials, and his understanding is limited to his grandfather's "Compendium of Materia Medica" that he read when he was a child, but out of confidence in his own things, he is not in a hurry to taste the tea slowly.

The boss said while looking at it: "Good ginseng, little brother, where did you get this ginseng, it looks like it's still freshly dug." ”

Xia Li thought about it and said the words he had thought of before: "I accidentally saw it when I entered the mountain, but now there are more and more people entering the mountain, and I dug it out for fear of an accident." ”
