Chapter 38 Ginseng

Seeing Zhou Shen's back getting farther and farther away, Liu Yunhua and the three of them finally came back to their senses.

Zhang Hui said with emotion: "The things of the ancestors can be passed down for thousands of years, and there is a reason why, I was really short-sighted in the past!" ”

Huo Wentao also nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang." To be honest, before today, I didn't believe in the so-called traditional martial arts at all, and any internal kung fu, but today I realized how much I used to sit in the well and watch the sky. ”

Liu Yunhua next to him also wanted to sigh with emotion, but when he heard Huo Wentao's words, he couldn't help but say: "In fact, many people misunderstand traditional martial arts, the main role of traditional martial arts is to be applied to the battlefield, and the martial arts are all excellent skills that the Chinese people have summarized and refined after thousands of years of battlefield fighting.

Later, it developed to its heyday, and was divided into two schools: traditional battle array art and Jianghu martial arts.

Today's traditional martial arts, strictly speaking, should be called 'martial arts', in which martial arts refers to the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, that is, a kind of striking and confrontation skills.

Like the martial arts of ancient military generals, archery, horseback, and eighteen weapons have to be practiced.

There is also the sage Confucius, who is also a person with excellent martial arts, and he is very skilled in bowing horses in one hand, otherwise would he dare to travel around the world with dozens of disciples?

is his disciple, like Zilu, and later he is also a general of a country, how can he not fight?

Since ancient times, martial arts has been not easy to practice, and the probability of ordinary children wanting to step into the threshold of martial arts is very small, because our ancestors have a saying that the poor are rich in martial arts, and the practice of martial arts is actually quite expensive......"

Speaking of this, Liu Yunhua suddenly stopped, a little disheartened and didn't want to say anything.

In fact, he has said these things countless times, and he was too lazy to talk about them a few years ago.

Not to mention the cost of practicing martial arts, the practice of key traditional martial arts is cruel and boring.

Now that people are delicate and expensive, how many people can hold on?

So now martial arts have slowly become a kind of "sport", and some people even say that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, which is simply fart.

Zhang Hui understood Liu Yunhua's mood, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be depressed!" Since we can meet a martial arts master like Mr. Zhou, doesn't it mean that our Chinese martial arts have not been broken. Maybe there are more martial arts wizards in this world that we don't know about. ”

When Liu Yunhua heard this, he couldn't help but nod and smiled: "What Mr. Zhang said is right! ”

I can't help but burn a flame in my heart!

……

On the other side, Zhou Shen slowly ran to the vegetable market.

Bought some beef and mutton, as well as high-energy ingredients such as seafood.

When I came out, I happened to see Cao Mingji's pharmacy, so I walked over.

In the small town of Linhuai, there are more than a dozen pharmacies, and the decoration style is basically the same, with glass doors, counters, shelves, and walls hung with all kinds of price reduction promotions, membership discounts, and full reduction advertising signs.

But Cao Mingji's Pharmacy is different, the counters and shelves in the store are still old-fashioned wooden cabinets, and various Chinese medicinal materials are written on the cabinets.

There are no messy advertisements on the walls above the door, they are clean and look very comfortable.

There is no annoying smell of disinfectant water in the air, but a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine floating.

Cao Mingji, an old man in his seventies with a ruddy complexion as a pharmacy owner, was sitting behind a desk at the door, measuring the blood pressure of an old lady of the same age.

Zhou Shen looked around the store.

After Cao Mingji measured the old man's blood pressure, he asked, "Doctor Cao, do you have any ginseng for sale here?" ”

Cao Mingji asked, "Yes, what are you used for?" ”

Zhou Shen said: "Stewed soup." I just don't know how it works? I read that there are nutrition experts on the Internet who say that the effect of ginseng is similar to that of white radish. ”

Cao Mingji scolded with a smile: "What bullshit nutrition expert, don't listen to his nonsense, you can buy something to eat." ”

Zhou Shen asked, "Then are you artificially planted or wild?" ”

Cao Mingji glanced at him and said, "Wild? What do you think? Planted, of course. With a population of more than one billion people in the country, how can there be so many wild ginseng for you to eat? ”

After a pause, Cao Mingji said: "Although the effect of planting mountain ginseng is much worse than that of wild ginseng, the quality is not enough to make up for it in quantity." Don't say you can buy wild ginseng, even if you buy it, can you afford to eat it every day? ”

Zhou Shen nodded again and again, "Mmmmmmmm, you're right." ”

Later, under Zhou Shen's inquiry, Cao Mingji gave him a brief science popularization of ginseng knowledge.

"At present, ginseng in the market is divided into three types: wild ginseng, understory ginseng and garden ginseng according to the growth environment; According to the place of origin, it can be divided into Ji ginseng, Korean ginseng, Changbai mountain ginseng, Liao ginseng and so on......"

Under Cao Mingji's popular science, Zhou Shen knew that there were so many differences in ginseng.

Needless to say, wild ginseng, even if he had it, he couldn't afford to eat it.

As for garden ginseng, although it is cheap, you can buy a lot of dozens of treasures on the Internet, but this kind of garden ginseng looks to be hypertrophied, and it is generally catalyzed by heavy fertilization and pesticide application, and the effect is very poor.

So the best is of course the understory ginseng.

Understory ginseng is a semi-artificial and semi-wild ginseng, which artificially scatters seeds into the natural environment and allows it to grow freely.

The effect is not as good as the real wild ginseng, but it is much better than the garden ginseng, and the effect of 1g is stronger than that of 1 kg of garden ginseng.

However, the price of this understory ginseng is not cheap, due to the huge benefits, the market is mixed, the real and the fake are difficult to distinguish, and you need to have enough experience to buy the best understory ginseng.

Cao Mingji's side sells ginseng.

The price varies from a few hundred to several thousand grams depending on the condition and age.

Under the guidance of Cao Mingji, Zhou Shen bought two 15-year-old understory ginseng (pure understory ginseng, more than 15 years old can be unearthed for eating and selling) in Changbai Mountain, 380 pieces per gram, a total of 3g.

He originally wanted to buy more, but was stopped by Cao Mingji.

"You go back and eat first, how is the effect? If the effect is good, it's not too late to buy it again. ”

Zhou Shen was right when he thought about it.

In case it doesn't work well, it's a waste to buy it.

He bought another box of Ejiao, which is said to be handmade, which is quite expensive, a box of 250g, priced at 800 yuan.

He then left the pharmacy with ginseng and ejiao.

I turned around and went to the vegetable market again, bought an old hen, and let the family kill it.

After waiting for less than twenty minutes, the chicken was killed, and then he went home with a miscellaneous set of ingredients.

The vegetable market is about 1.5 kilometers to home, and I feel quite relaxed when I run over in the morning, but now I am walking back, and I am really tired of carrying things in my hands.

Halfway there, he simply stopped a passing tricycle and sent him home.

When I got home, the Sansu Yunfei soup on the stove was still bubbling hot.

Zhou Shen saw that the time was up and turned off the stove.

When I opened the lid, it was steaming.

He pinched the edge of the hot casserole with a rag, brought the casserole under the electric fan, and then turned on the electric fan and began to blow.

With the rapid flow of heat, the soup pot also cools down quickly.

Zhou Shen immediately opened the attribute panel and took a look, the proficiency of Xingyi Fist has risen to 167/200, and the attribute point has risen to 0.5 points, which can be upgraded!

He took a deep breath, and then added 0.5 attribute points to Xingyi Fist.

Xingyiquan's proficiency immediately skyrocketed, becoming [Mastery 17/500].

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that the proficiency had not decreased like the longevity formula, Zhou Shen was naturally slightly excited.

Although I guessed that the external strength should not encounter a bottleneck like the internal strength, I was not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

As the level became proficient, all of a sudden, countless pieces of information about Xingyi Quan poured into his brain.

But without waiting for him to carefully consume this information, as the level of Xingyi Quan changed from a small level to a proficient level, his physical strength and energy also increased by 0.2, becoming 10.2/9.2.

It was as if a powerful energy had been injected into the body.

He instantly felt that all the negative emotions on his body were swept away.

Energetic and quick-witted.

And the fatigue caused by running and boxing in the morning also disappeared in an instant.

He feels like he's running three or five kilometers now, and he's not having any problem at all.

But that's when hunger followed.

And it's much more intense than the previous ones.

It was as if there was a huge black hole in his stomach, instantly absorbing all the energy of the food he ate in the morning, and he was still sucking frantically with his big black mouth open.

Zhou Shen immediately picked up the casserole on the ground and poured it into the large plate that had been prepared on the table.

He began to devour.
