Wild ginseng gas fills the mountain with fragrance

After collecting some wolfberry rhizomes, Sun Xin took Hu Sanniang and continued walking to Dengyun Mountain.

The next time he discovered two plants, Polygonum spp. and Polygonum spp., during mountaineering. The functions of Polygonum spp. were similar to those of Wolfsbane. They were both used to poison and kill insects. The discovery of Polygonum spp. made Sun Xin compare it.

Glad, this stuff can be used to spray and control wheat rust when boiled with onions, ginger, and garlic.

The prevention and treatment methods for this troublesome fungal infection are very limited. In addition to active prevention, it is also good to have such a drug. Otherwise, the cost of prevention and treatment by just buying onion and ginger water will be much higher.

Sun Xin collected some of these plants that were already growing on Dengyun Mountain, carefully packaged them and prepared to take them back to the farm for trial planting.

As they walked, the two of them reached the heights of Dengyun Mountain. The weather was turning into autumn, and it was somewhat cold on the mountain. The moss under their feet also made the mountain road very slippery. They initially walked along the path used by people who cut wood and collect herbs.

Later, there was no road on the mountain, so Sun Xin could only lead Hu Sanniang all the way through the woods and grass.

The two walked slowly, turning around the foot of a mountain, and when they reached the bend of a cliff, Sun Xin suddenly stopped.

He looked at the direction of the rock wall on one side and maintained a climbing posture, pointed at the top and said: "I'll go there and have a look."

Hu Sanniang stood there confused. She saw that the place where Sun Xin climbed over was a sandy field on the edge of a cliff. There was still a large bush of weeds growing on the sandy field. There was no difference between these grasses in her eyes.

.

Hu Sanniang frowned and watched as Sun Xin struggled to walk on the sand. The road under her feet was very smooth and she would fall down the mountain if she was not careful. Hu Sanniang was very worried.

"Ginseng?" Hu Sanniang was stunned, and then her eyes widened, "Which one do you think is ginseng?"

"Plant? Dig it from the mountain, take it home and plant it?"

"One year is enough!"

According to Sun Xin's memory, the artificial cultivation technology of ginseng should have appeared in the Song Dynasty, but Hu Sanniang's reaction should not have spread to Dengzhou yet, so Hu Sanniang and others judged the value of ginseng based on the weight of the ginseng.

Just calculation.

Hu Sanniang looked down and couldn't stand: "I didn't expect that I could dig ginseng when I went up the mountain this time. Do you want me to come up and help?"

Sun Xin asked directly: "What are you looking for when selling ginseng these days?"

Sun Xinyan immediately started digging up the wild ginseng plant.

"Can it grow to that big? But how many years will it take to plant it?"

"Is this thing valuable?"

I don’t know if it’s the change in the world background or the fact that people also praised ginseng as a medicine in the Song Dynasty, but just looking at the way that ginseng plant was treated, Sun Xin could also guess that the value of wild ginseng was also very high in this era.

.

Returning to Hu Sanniang, Hu Sanniang quickly asked Sun Xin to take out the ginseng and show it to her. After taking a look, she said in surprise: "It's really ginseng!"

At this time, Sun Xin stared at the plant, full of surprise.

Sun Xin turned back to Hu Sanniang and asked, "Have you ever heard of ginseng?"

"Of course it's valuable!" Hu Sanniang said in surprise, "My father has a 500-year-old wild ginseng in his room. It is as thick as two fingers. It was bought from the Kingdom of Jin, but it cost one hundred and seventy taels.

Where’s the silver!”

"ten years?"

In later generations, because artificial planting technology has been sufficiently developed, in order to distinguish between artificially planted garden ginseng, artificially sown forest ginseng, wild ginseng transplanted back to artificial environment, natural wild ginseng and other ginseng grown in different environments.

There is already a very complicated set of standards on the market, such as eye examination, skin examination, reed head examination, etc. However, since Hu Sanniang said that people these days do not have this awareness at all, then there is really too much room for Sun Xin to operate.

In the previous life, digging up such a wild ginseng was enough to make a small fortune. In this life, although Sun Xin had also heard that ginseng was not very valuable before the Ming Dynasty, Sun Xin clearly remembered it.

One time when I went to a drug store to pick up the herbal medicine for preparing tiger penis wine, I saw a very precious piece of dried ginseng placed on the top of the counter, with a corner of the red silk bag exposed, as if it were the treasure of the store.

Let it go.

"What about other things? Like shape or something?"

Sun Xin was very happy and shook his head without telling her: "I don't plan to sell this ginseng at this time. I will take it back and plant it."

Looking at her look, Sun Xin knew that his guess was not bad.

Sun Xin raised a finger and shook it.

"Of course it depends on the size."

Sun Xin was in a good mood and said: "I will take this ginseng plant back and plant it carefully. When the time comes, I will sell it. The price will not be lower than the ginseng plant in your father's house."

"No, don't jump! Be careful where you step." Sun Xin turned around and told him, then he gently used his fingers to peel away the soil under the wild ginseng, cleaning every root system, and soon the whole plant was complete.

Sun Xin took the ginseng in his hand and saw that the ginseng beard was very complete, the long root system was more than fifty centimeters, and the main part of the ginseng was as thick as a little finger.

Even if you want to collect medicine, there is no need to work so hard. What is it for? If it falls, who can accompany such a good husband like me?

Hu Sanniang was about to speak when she saw Sun Xin had climbed to the edge of the sand, carefully squatted down and looked at the plant in front of her carefully.

Seeing his cherished look, Hu Sanniang finally shut up secretly. Sun Xin himself was a good doctor. He had taken a liking to a medicinal plant. He probably had his own reasons, and she couldn't help but interfere.

Although there were not many people cultivating ginseng in the area where Sun Xin in his previous life lived, the Shizhu Ginseng produced in the province across the sea from the local area was world-famous. Sun Xinguang had been there countless times on business trips to give reports, so he would not be clear about anything.

How to grow ginseng?

She said happily: "This ginseng is not small. If we take it back, we can sell it to a pharmacy in Dengzhou! We can sell it for dozens of taels at least!"

Sun Xin put the ginseng plant in his arms and carefully climbed down from the cliff.

Even with his rudimentary knowledge of medicinal materials, he can recognize this thing. This is ginseng! It is also wild ginseng!

Hu Sanniang said strangely: "Look what that does. I remember that when dad bought ginseng, he only asked about the weight and year, and didn't care about anything else."

Hu Sanniang's eyes widened, "Can you grow this ginseng plant to such a big size in one year? My father's ginseng is five hundred years old!"

Sun Xin laughed loudly. In later generations, the cultivation of ginseng had already been industrialized and the related research was extremely mature. What Taigong Hu bought, Five Hundred Years of Life was probably a gimmick.

In fact, the nutrients in the body of ginseng are already the most abundant in the sixth year of planting. If it does not die in the future, the roots of the ginseng will only become more and more lignified, not to mention whether the ginseng can grow to five hundred years.

A hundred years ago, ginseng was just a piece of wood without any nutritional value.

It is not difficult to grow to the size of two fingers. The garden ginseng of later generations has grown to the size of a radish after five years. This is similar to the ginseng that if you take it back and use fertilizer to encourage it, it will expand within a year.

Doubling the number is really not a problem.
