Chapter 120 Centennial Ginseng

"A batch of the rice paper I made earlier has been completed. Would you like to take a look at it, the shopkeeper?"

Lin Shan led Lu Chensheng to the side. Hearing the talk about rice paper, Lu Chensheng was startled, "Has the finished product of paper made of young bamboo come out now?"

Rice paper has more texture and better quality than previous paper.

Good rice paper will not be damaged after being stored for a long time, so it is a good choice for painting and writing poems on the paper.

It's just that this kind of paper is not easy to make, and only now have we made a batch of them.

Lu Chensheng listened and asked Lin Shan to take the lead, and saw the latest rice paper.

The rice paper is still just like the previous papers, extremely soft, rolled up casually and placed aside, but the thickness is only a little thicker than the previous paper.

Lu Chensheng picked up a piece of paper and took a closer look, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

There is a big difference between hand-made paper and machine-made paper. It does not mean that the machine-made paper is not good.

Instead, you can feel the hand-made paper with a strong sense of heaviness and a very different texture.

"Let's send this batch of rice paper to Taohuawu first."

Lu Chensheng couldn't put it down and looked through it several times. This handmade paper is really very popular. It is necessary to put some in Taohuawu.

Lin Shan nodded after hearing this.

"A lot of the rice paper will be available for use in the future. What is the appropriate price for selling it?"

Lin Shan thought for a while and asked Lu Chensheng.

"There isn't much rice paper produced, so don't sell it for the time being. Let's just leave it for now."

The original production of peach blossom paper was much larger than that of rice paper, and the supply was somewhat in short supply. It would be difficult to sell rice paper with such output.

"Now we are thinking of ways to see if we can increase production."

Lin Shan listened and responded. Hydraulic forging reduced a lot of work, but the forging process of rice paper was more complicated, so the output was much less.

However, Uncle Lin has already thought of ways to improve it. If the improvement is successful, there will be no problem in increasing production by then.

Lu Chensheng felt satisfied after hearing this. Papermaking was still going on in the workshop. After Qiong Yue stayed for a while, she took Lu Chensheng and left together.

Several people walked towards the mountains together.

"Originally, some ginseng medicinal materials were collected in the past in the village, but the village was short of money, so they used it to exchange for money. If we look for it, we should be able to find some."

Qiong Yue wore a tight-fitting suit today and took the lead in walking.

Shou Yue also carried a medicine basket on his back. Lu Chensheng originally wanted to take it, but Shou Yue glanced at him and said that a scholar was not suitable for such a thing, so he was not allowed to carry the medicine basket.

"If it really doesn't exist, I'll ask someone to find out about it when the time comes, and just spend some money to buy some."

Lu Chensheng mainly didn't want to disappoint Qiong Yue. He didn't have much idea about whether he could find this medicine.

"That's not possible. You have to find it, and it's not easy to buy."

Qiong Yue used to be quite well-behaved, but this time she seemed a bit stubborn.

Lu Chensheng was a little strange, "Speaking of which, if you really find some ginseng or something like that, after eating it, your martial arts will be greatly increased out of thin air or something?"

Lu Chensheng secretly ate some roots when she was a child in her previous life. She had a nosebleed that night and couldn't sleep.

Apart from this, there is no other feeling. Is there something different about the ginseng here?

"It still needs to be supplemented with other medicinal materials, but it's not that simple."

Qiong Yue shook her head when she heard this, which disappointed Lu Chensheng for a while. She thought that eating ginseng would increase her power for decades out of thin air.

“Ginseng!”

While Lu Chensheng was still a little disappointed, Shou Yue's eyes suddenly moved and looked at the place with two branch leaves growing on the side.

There are five leaves on one branch, like a palm.

This was the first time Lu Chensheng saw ginseng that had not been dug out. Hearing this, he looked carefully and was quite curious.

"It's just Erjiazi. This medicine is not powerful enough. Let's go."

When Qiong Yue heard this, she took a look and saw that there were only two compound leaves on it, so she shook her head and continued walking forward.

“How old is Erjiazi ginseng?”

Lu Chensheng heard this strangely and asked.

Shou Yue glanced at Lu Chensheng, "I thought you knew everything, but it seems there are things you don't know!"

It seemed that it was rare to see something that Lu Chensheng didn't understand, which made Shouyue very happy and proudly showed off in front of Lu Chensheng.

"As for ginseng, it takes more than two years to grow a palm leaf called a compound leaf. These two compound leaves are less than ten years old, so they are really useless."

"How many years of ginseng are we looking for?"

This wild ginseng is considered good even though it is less than ten years old, right?

"It has to have six compound leaves, and the ginseng needs to be hundreds of years old."

Hundreds of years? Lu Chensheng was stunned when he heard this. Where could it be so easy to find 100-year-old ginseng?

With this thought in his mind, Lu Chensheng walked to Qiong Yue and said, "Madam, this century-old ginseng is hard to find. I have to use century-old ginseng. Why not go see where to buy it and let's buy one?"

From Lu Chensheng's point of view, anything that is hundreds of years old is hard to find.

"If you need to increase your power, one stick is not enough. Although one stick is easy to buy, it is only one stick."

Lu Chensheng was startled when he heard this, "What are you talking about, how many hundred-year-old ginseng do we need?"

"It takes hundreds of kilograms of ginseng to boil out its essence, and then the essence and other medicinal materials are mixed into a paste before it can be effective."

Lu Chensheng gasped as he listened. When will the hundred-year-old ginseng be counted in kilograms?

Hundreds of kilograms are ginseng that is hundreds of years old. Generally speaking, ginseng that is hundreds of years old will not weigh more than 12 pounds.

In other words, a hundred-year-old ginseng weighs less than a kilogram. If it weighs more than a hundred kilograms, it will require at least hundreds of ginseng!

It all sounds like infiltration.

"Madam, do you need so much ginseng to practice martial arts to increase your strength?"

Lu Chensheng felt that the money he had earned before was not enough to buy so many ginseng.

Before Qiong Yue could speak, Shou Yue responded now, "Do you really think practicing martial arts is easy? You don't know the costs involved. If you really want to make rapid progress in medicine, it is essential."

It's too expensive...

After Lu Chensheng listened, he thought about it and came up with this idea.

This kind of martial arts training is not easy to practice, especially for someone like me. If you want to join the ranks of martial artists, you need so much ginseng assistance.

Not long after the few people left, a ginseng with six compound leaves in a circle appeared in front of them.

Qiong Yue looked overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned down and began to carefully remove the soil, and carefully took out the ginseng, fearing to hurt the roots of the ginseng.

After taking out all the ginseng, Qiong Yue took a closer look, her eyes even more joyful, "It's a century-old ginseng!"
