No.95 Two bags of seeds
Compared to things like tiger bones, rhino horns, and ivory, Cordyceps sinensis is undoubtedly a safe thing that can make a lot of money.
After all, there are still many mining bases in Nagqu, Tibet, on the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of 4,500 meters, which are high-end drugs and supplements with legal sales channels.
You can buy and sell, and you can definitely make a lot of money!
"How many more of these cordyceps do you have?"
Wang Mingyuan squatted down in front of the Tibetan stall, stretched out his hand to look at the plump and thick cordyceps in the bag, which had been dried naturally, forcibly restraining the excitement in his heart, and trying to control his trembling hands.
"It's all in these bags!" The Tibetan pointed to the seven or eight bags that were being guarded by a few companions next to him: "About 300 kilograms." ”
"Weigh it, I'll take it all!"
Wang Mingyuan made a decisive decision.
The Tibetan man's face as if he had been cut by a knife and axe suddenly showed a smile.
After two days of guarding, there were many people who asked, but none of them really dared to buy, and now, it was finally sold, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Moreover, the person in front of him didn't bargain, but he didn't like the previous ones, he was entangled for a long time!
Several people were very quick with their hands and feet, and quickly weighed out the things, a few bags of cordyceps, a total of 324 kilograms, a total of 12,960 yuan.
Wang Mingyuan didn't say a word, directly took off his backpack and counted the money to pay.
Fortunately, all the clothes he brought were sold, and most of the watches were sold, otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to pay such a huge sum.
handed the money to the Tibetan, and after the Tibetan counted it, he specially took a pendant from his neck and sent it to Wang Mingyuan with both hands: "Give it to you, friend!" "Motioned to put it on him.
Wang Mingyuan saw that it was a long bead with black and white patterns, but it was also a good trinket, something like this, there were several strings hanging on the Tibetan person's body, and he smiled at the moment, bowed his head slightly, and asked the Tibetan to put the pendant on him.
"Tashi Delek!" After the Tibetans put it on him, they clasped their hands together and whispered a word.
The rest of the people were the same, saying the same thing to Wang Mingyuan.
This sentence, Wang Mingyuan knows, auspicious, of course, there is a certain meaning of karma, which is equivalent to good people and good returns, in short, it is a blessing.
Obviously, Wang Mingyuan is regarded by them as a very important guest, probably because he is straightforward enough.
"Thank you, thank you!" Wang Mingyuan smiled and nodded at a few people: "This thing is a bit much, I can't take it away alone, and I want to ask you to do me a favor and help me send it to a place." ”
The Tibetan nodded, leaving the two of them to look at the stall, there were still some Tibetan specialties for sale, and the rest of the people were beckoned by him to carry bags of cordyceps and follow Wang Mingyuan towards the outside of the medicine street.
March Street covers too much area, but it took a lot of effort for a few people to leave the crowd far away and place things in a hidden forest, which made several people look at each other and don't understand what they are doing in this kind of forest.
Looking at the few people who were tired enough, Wang Mingyuan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I've worked hard, so let's send it here." ”
He regretted that he hadn't ridden the tricycle.
"Friend, my name is Dorjee, and I hope to meet you again on March Street next year!"
"My name is Wang Mingyuan, and I am very much looking forward to meeting next year!"
Just kidding, so much goodies, of course it's worth looking forward to.
After a brief chat, Wang Mingyuan watched a few people leave, he hurriedly and effortlessly picked up the east XZ, and then, anxiously, rushed to the hotel, and rode the pedal three wheels in a hurry, and found that the things were safe and sound when they arrived at the place, and then sensed the virtual small screen in his mind, transferred the things to the sinkhole, and temporarily put them in a small cave to hide.
Now, he didn't dare to return to Lixian directly in broad daylight, there were too many people, and it was not good to be discovered.
He simply soaked in the hot springs and waited for it to get dark before he quietly returned to Lixian and rushed back to the hostel.
The next day, Wang Mingyuan returned to the medicine street and received more than 100 kilograms of cordyceps piecemeal. Probably because they suddenly found that there were a lot less Cordyceps on the medicine street, those buyers didn't care about the price, and they also began to purchase vigorously, and soon bought out the Cordyceps on the street.
This also led to the price of Cordyceps shipped all the way up, becoming the most popular medicinal material on the medicine street, and even broke through the 100 yuan mark.
However, after careful calculation, Wang Mingyuan got nearly half a ton of Cordyceps on this trip, which is almost the same.
Take it when you see it...... Rumors about him as a mysterious buyer have begun to appear on the streets, and if this is really recognized, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of waves. You must know that this half ton of Cordyceps accounts for half of the Cordyceps on the medicine street.
The watches he brought with him were also sold by several people in the next two days.
The price of the 500 sets of costumes, except for which ones he sold in Mangxian and Li Ming and other six people in Bao County and Chu County, the prices were slightly lower, and the prices sold on the streets in March were all high.
In addition to the total of 500 sets of clothes, 150 yuan of Shanghai watches and 50 yuan of plum blossom watches, and in addition to the nearly 300 yuan each of them and the nearly 20,000 yuan spent on buying cordyceps, Wang Mingyuan was surprised to find that the backpack he used to carry things was full of bundles of ten-yuan bills tied with elastic bands.
"10,000 households, isn't this done?"
Wang Mingyuan thought in his heart, what made his heart even more hot was the nearly half ton of Cordyceps, and he now felt like he had become rich overnight.
I can still go shopping for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I should go back to Zhangjiaao, collect the dried locusts, and prepare to return to 2023.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Wang Mingyuan really came across something good, and he also saw a big bag of seeds in a Tibetan stall.
It is a grayish-white seed that resembles a sunflower seed.
Wang Mingyuan doesn't know much about medicinal materials, but he doesn't understand it, but he can understand it through other people's conversations.
This kind of child, the reason why it attracted Wang Mingyuan's attention is mainly because of three words - saffron, which happens to be something that Wang Mingyuan knows a lot about, because it is precious and famous.
Many people believe that saffron is a precious medicinal material produced in Tibet, but in fact, according to Wang Mingyuan, saffron is also known as saffron and saffron, which is something introduced from other places when Zhang Qian came out of the plug, and the origin is not in Tibet. It's just that many people didn't know at that time that there were many countries outside Tibet, and they thought that they came from Tibet, so they were called saffron.
Unexpectedly, saffron is not produced in Tibet.
According to the information consulted by Wang Mingyuan, the artificial cultivation of saffron began in Haicheng in 1980, and then occupied 90% of the national market, and another 10% was in the closed city.
What made Wang Mingyuan even more concerned was that the stall owner tried his best to introduce to a polite middle-aged man squatting in front of the stall that the big bag of safflower seeds was not what he cared about, but the other two bags of bulbs next to him, which was the point.
Normally, to harvest safflower seeds, pollination is necessary, and you can only choose one of the safflower and seeds produced. Moreover, these sunflower seeds-like seeds need to grow for two or three years to become the bulbs of safflower, and then they can bloom, which is too long.
And if you use bulbs for direct cultivation, it is bound to be better and faster.
In fact, bulb cultivation is the most commonly used method.
So, when the two of them were bargaining over the bag of seeds, Wang Mingyuan bought the two bags of bulbs for one hundred and sixty yuan, threw them on the pedal three wheels, and rode away slowly.
On the medicine street, there are a lot of rare drugs, but unfortunately Wang Mingyuan doesn't know the goods, and even if he recognizes, he doesn't know the specific price in 2023.
For example, deer antler velvet is undoubtedly a precious medicinal material, but there are already many artificial breeding of sika deer, and it makes little sense to buy them back. There is also the mother of Sichuan fritillary, which is also very expensive, but it has also been cultivated in large quantities, including Ganoderma lucidum and the like.
Therefore, Wang Mingyuan still thinks that it is safer to get something rare.
For example, Cordyceps cannot be cultivated artificially, and the source is dug in large quantities, and there are fewer and fewer of them, and the price is afraid that it will only rise.
As for this bag of saffron bulbs, Wang Mingyuan purely wants to get Zhangjiaao in 2023 for cultivation and trying, so a large area of land, just put more than 100 beehives, it's too wasteful.
