After a bumpy ride in the morning, Li Jinhong and others did not have the energy to wander around Jiangquan County that afternoon. They rested for the entire afternoon and began to investigate around the next morning.
In fact, Shen Fei asked Wang Xu to bring Li Jinhong and others to Jiangquan County for inspection. It was really a bit of a trick. These people are not big companies, and Jiangquan County really has no good projects worthy of their investment.
Jiangquan County is a poor county. The main economy of the county is the processing of crops and agricultural and sideline products. Yan Xinwu invested 100 million yuan in favor of Wang Xu and decided to build an agricultural and sideline products processing factory in Jiangquan County.
There are still many local specialties in Jiangquan County. There is a kind of green fruit that does not look good but tastes good. It has great potential to be canned. If the roads in Jiangquan County are built, the canned green fruit will not be out of the market. .
Li Jinhong and others did not find a suitable project, but now that they are here, they have to give Wang Xu face and take a walk around. This walk really made everyone discover a place in Jiangquan County that can be developed.
There is a mountain to the north of Jiangquan County. The mountain is actually not famous. The locals call it "Beipo Mountain". No one paid much attention to it before. Wang Xu and his group were bored and wandered around the mountain and discovered this mountain. The environment is very good.
In addition, Jiangquan County has a very good geographical location, with one side directly connected to the Xihe River and the other side directly connected to Liaodong. The main reason is that the direction to Liaodong is blocked by mountains, and there is also a river named Quanxi River.
The Quanxi River is not a very big river, but precisely because Jiangquan County is backward, the water quality of the Quanxi River is very good, with almost no pollution. Not only are there people raising fish in the river area, but there are also young men swimming in the river every summer, close to the river bank. Women in the villages also go to the Quanxi River to wash their clothes.
Li Jinhong, Gui Jianye and others are indeed well-known entrepreneurs, and their eyesight is not ordinary. Standing on the mountain, Li Jinhong looked around and pointed to the Quanxi River not far away: "This area is a pristine environment. If If we can spend huge sums of money to build the road to Liaodong and build an expressway, Jiang County will definitely have great potential."
Gui Jianye also nodded and said: "Yes, there are not many places like this across the country now. Once the road can be built, it will not be bad whether it is building a summer resort or tourism, but this project will not be completed for two or three years." There’s no way it will work.”
Gui Jianye's words are still an understatement. You must know that after Jiangquan County, you will reach Liaohai City in Liaodong Province. To build this road, you must negotiate not only with Jiangzhou Province but also with Liaodong Province. One family is absolutely It can't be completed.
Moreover, the cost of building roads is definitely very high. Although Gui Jianye and Li Jinhong have seen the potential of this place, it is still difficult for them to make up their mind to invest.
Even if Wang Xu is not good at business, he made a rough estimate that this project will require at least more than one billion yuan to start construction. More than one billion yuan is naturally nothing to Li Jinhong and others, but this is only an early investment. What will happen in the later stage? Not sure.
From investment to profit, it takes less than five years. The cost will never be earned back. It takes too long. At the level of Li Jinhong and others, if they really have more than one billion yuan, no matter what they do, it is better than investing in this.
A group of people made a lot of money on the mountain, and they seemed to want to point out the country. Shen Fei personally accompanied them, and it was around four o'clock in the afternoon when the group of people came down the mountain.
Originally, the group of people who came down the mountain planned to go back directly, but Jiang Hanyun and Li Jinhong suddenly became interested and wanted to take a tour of the village at the foot of the mountain.
The village at the foot of the mountain is called Quanxi Village, which is named after the Quanxi River. The village is a typical small southern village, and it is relatively poor. Wang Xu and a group of people wandered around, but when they were about to leave, Wang Xu discovered something
.
Almost every household in Quanxi Village had a kind of weed growing in the yard. Wang Xu didn't notice at first. Eighty percent of the houses in the village had this kind of weed growing in the yard, which made Wang Xu strange.
Out of curiosity, Wang Xu stepped forward and asked a villager what the weeds in the yard were doing. The villager was an old farmer in his fifties, and his face was full of tandem beauties. He also saw that Wang Xu and his group had a different background.
, spoke a little cautiously, and said with a naive smile: "This is a kind of grass on the mountain, called green snake grass. It is dried and ground into powder. It is good for the skin when you take a bath. It usually produces phlegm when you cough. Mix it with tea and drink it.
It can also relieve asthma and coughs. There are so many of these weeds that the nearby villagers will bring some back to dry in the sun when they have nothing to do. It is much better than taking medicine.
"Does this weed have such an effect?" Wang Xu frowned. He was familiar with medical books. He had memorized various medical books such as "Baicao Compendium" and "Baicao Compendium Supplements", but he was stunned.
I have never seen this kind of weed. According to what the villagers said, this weed should be regarded as a relatively good Chinese herbal medicine.
"Uncle, can you let me see the grass powder you grind?" Wang Xu took the weed and looked at it carefully, but couldn't see the reason, so he asked the old farmer with a smile.
"Of course you can. We always have spare ones at home and can't use them all." The old farmer said with a smile, and then led Wang Xu and his group towards their home.
When Li Jinhong and others saw Wang Xu's interest in this weed, they were also very curious and followed them one after another, wanting to know what was so special about this field!
After entering the inner room, the old farmer took out a can bottle from home. The can bottle was half filled with powder, which looked a bit like pepper powder. Wang Xu opened the bottle and smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance.
"Uncle, can you bring a pot of boiling water? Let me soak it and see." Wang Xu made a distinction on his own. He even dipped a little powder in his hand and tasted it with the tip of his tongue. The taste was a bit astringent. He pondered for a while and said to the old farmer.
"No problem, you all sit down, and I'll make tea for you." The old farmer said with a smile, and came out with a kettle, poured a cup of tea for everyone, and brought an empty cup to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu grabbed some grass powder and put it in, poured half a cup of boiling water into it, and the room was immediately filled with a delicate fragrance. The grass powder soaked in boiling water was actually more fragrant than dry grass powder.
Just by smelling this smell, Wang Xu knew that it was good stuff. Others might not notice it, but he was a doctor. When this fragrance entered his nose, he immediately felt refreshed. This fragrance obviously has a refreshing effect. Compared with
Agarwood is even better.
"What a good thing." Wang Xu murmured in his heart. If nothing else, the effect of this fragrance alone should not be underestimated. If this grass powder is made into incense, it can be compared with the agarwood on the market.
.
What is agarwood? Agarwood is known as the diamond among plants. It is said to be the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the accumulation of time. The value of the best agarwood can reach three times that of gold. It can be said to be "agarwood".
Its fragrance is astonishing to the world, and its fragrance is shocking to the common people. It has been loved by China's high-ranking officials and nobles for thousands of years.
There is absolutely no need to elaborate on the value of agarwood. In addition to being a precious Chinese medicinal material, it is also a precious spice. If a little agarwood can be mixed with current perfumes, it will be absolutely priceless. All famous French perfumes are inseparable from agarwood.
At the same time, agarwood also has the effect of calming the mind and refreshing the mind. For example, agarwood is lit in the private room of the Kyoto Imperial Restaurant, showing its different grades.
At the same time, agarwood is scarce. The origin of agarwood is caused by animal bites or external trauma to agarwood plants, as well as man-made cuts and erosion by snakes, insects, and ants.
When agarwood logs heal themselves, the wound will be infected by microorganisms and other factors. Coupled with the external hot and humid environment, the wound will be corroded and invaded and parasitized by fungi. Under the action of the bacteria, the starch stored in the wood parenchyma cells will undergo a series of changes.
Slowly, it becomes agarwood, and there is also a method of classifying agarwood oil. Afterwards, the wound will form a paste-like agglomeration. When the wound slowly heals, new wood will cover it and become resinous wood. Slowly, under natural conditions and growth
The precipitation of time forms agarwood.
It is precisely because the formation of agarwood has a certain degree of chance that it makes agarwood so precious. At the same time, the older agarwood is, the more precious it becomes. Thousand-year-old agarwood is definitely worth thousands of gold.
However, such a kind of wild grass powder can actually have an effect that is better than that of agarwood. Even though other medicinal effects may not be similar to agarwood, as a spice, it is definitely worse than agarwood.
"Agarwood!" Thinking of this, Wang Xu suddenly remembered the manuscript of Zhao Xuemin that he copied from Zhong Liangmin's home, which seemed to describe such a plant.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Xu finally remembered that Zhao Xuemin did record this paragraph. It seemed that there was a kind of weed that could be used as a spice after being dried and ground into powder. At the same time, soaking it in water and drinking it had the effect of relieving coughs and asthma.
It was just because the manuscript was old, a little messy, and the handwriting on it was illegible. Wang Xu was busy at the moment and didn't look at it carefully. He just glanced at it briefly and then forgot about it. He didn't expect that there was such a thing.
plant.
It seems that the name of this plant in Zhao Xuemin's manuscript is fragrant grass, and the original words in the record are: "The fragrance can refresh the mind, and when taken diluted, it can relieve asthma and cough, but it should not be tortured."
Wang Xu had no way of knowing why Zhao Xuemin did not record such a plant in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" but briefly mentioned it in the manuscript. However, it is obvious that this is a precious Chinese medicinal material.
For a moment, even Wang Xu, a veteran, couldn't help shaking the hand holding the grass powder. Once this kind of weed is developed, its value is immeasurable, and even the entire Jiang County will be changed.
Wang Xu took two deep breaths and carefully tasted the aroma. He slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, savoring it carefully in his mouth.
The brewed grass powder smells very fragrant, but it doesn't taste good in the mouth. It has a slight bitterness. The old farmer on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this: "Brother, you can't drink this grass powder directly.
It tastes a bit bitter when you drink it, but it tastes very good if you add a little bit of it to the tea, which can increase the aroma of the tea."
"Bah!" Wang Xu just felt it for himself and felt the real taste of grass powder. Naturally, he couldn't swallow it. He walked to the edge and spit it out, causing Li Jinhong and others to burst into laughter.
