Rebirth of the Almighty Internet Celebrity

Chapter 261 Great Natural Treasure

Both Liang Teng and Wu Xia couldn't believe it, and wiped their eyes with the back of their wet hands.

Looked carefully for a moment.

Not far away, there was a piece of flat land not soaked by the water of the cold pool. They simply climbed to the "shore" first, and then carefully studied the strange scene not far away.

In this "cave", it can really be called "a cave of another world".

The pool connected to the narrow "channel" has a low water level and a relatively small area.

To say that its area is not large is to use the land area of ​​the "cave" for comparison.The flat ground in this cave is at least a hundred times larger than that of the "pool".

These are not the point.

Liang Teng and Wu Xia are both people who have seen the big world, and they will not be infinitely surprised because the space in the "cave" is larger than imagined.

What the two of them saw was that on the wide ground covered with thick black mud, some unknown small animals (presumably "mountain rats") had turned up the black mud, digging There are several small pits of different shades.

As the black mud was turned out, there were strips of chubby things like "long bugs".

But the worms were motionless now, frozen there.It is estimated that it is no longer alive.

Liang Teng has the knowledge of two generations, and Wu Xia has a "grandmother" who is mainly engaged in the medicinal material business. She has more opportunities to contact various "Chinese medicinal materials".

The two protagonists recognized at a glance that those dug out by the "Mountain Rat" (which is most likely to be it) are the "Emperor" among the well-known medicinal materials, and the market price has already surpassed that of gold "Cordyceps sinensis".

There is a folk saying that this "Cordyceps sinensis" is some bugs in winter, which will turn into grass in summer, so it has that unique "name".

actually not.

There is a kind of "bacteria" in nature, which is called "Cordyceps sinensis fungus".This "fungus" likes to parasitize into the body of "bat moth larvae" in winter, making the bodies of those larvae rigid.When the conditions are suitable in summer, the head of the "zombie" will grow stick-shaped things.

Ever since, this kind of weird looking stuff that grows out of a larva corpse, which looks like long "tentacles", is the so-called "Cordyceps sinensis".

Don't think that this stuff looks a bit "disgusting". I don't know who made it, and it's extremely expensive.

According to the current market price, a catty of gold can be sold for more than 20 yuan, and this "cordyceps sinensis" can be sold for more than [-] yuan per catty.

Liang Teng and Wu Xia were very surprised to see "Cordyceps sinensis" which is more precious than gold in this weird "cave".

What is even more surprising is that the size of this "Cordyceps sinensis" is surprisingly large, completely beyond their cognition.

How big is it?Each piece of "Cordyceps sinensis" is at least as thick as Wu Xia's little finger.

Of course, in the eyes of the two "experts", it was only at a glance that the size of these dug out "cordyceps" was astonishing.In the eyes of a "layman" like Yan Qianyu, it seemed ordinary.

Yan Qianyu had no idea at all.Even if the "Cordyceps autumn grass" placed in front of her was as thick as a "well rope", she didn't feel it at all.

Who knows, like this "Cordyceps sinensis", a weight of nearly 1 gram is considered large.The "Cordyceps" with a thick tail finger, at least one more than 1 grams.This is super big! ! !

"Cordyceps sinensis" is rare and expensive, so it is not surprising that it is divided into dozens of grades.

Some are classified according to the place of production. Cordyceps produced in "Tibetan" is of high quality, the body is fat and plump, the surface is golden in color, and the subseapots (that is, the stuff like "tentacles") are relatively short;
However, the Cordyceps produced in "Chuandi" is thin and small, with a darker, brown surface color, longer subsea, and second in quality.

There are also grades according to the "number" (that is, "size") of "Cordyceps".

The fewer the "number" of a catty, the larger the size, the higher the quality, and the more expensive the price.Smaller ones are inferior in quality, so of course they can’t be sold that expensive.

Generally speaking, there are 800 pieces of "Cordyceps" per catty, which is quite good.There are also Cordyceps, 1000 pieces per catty, 1250 pieces per catty, 1500 pieces per catty (Of course, when trading in the "Chinese herbal medicine market", the unit of measurement used is "kg". That is, a good "Cordyceps" 1600 There are 3000 bars per kilogram).

According to the classification in the market, high-quality "Cordyceps", 800 pieces per catty, everyone knows that one catty is 500 grams, which is equivalent to a "Cordyceps", which does not weigh 1 gram.

In fact, this is also understandable.This thing looks like a worm and grass, if it is too heavy, can it still be called a "cordyceps"?

But there are exceptions to everything.Now the "Cordyceps" seen by the two protagonists, Liang Teng and Wu Xia, far exceeds the top-level "Cordyceps" that can be seen in the "Chinese herbal medicine market". It's heavy.

Liang Teng and Wu Xia squatted down, and even reached out and pinched a "cordyceps" to study it carefully for a long time.

Wu Xia murmured: "I can't believe it! Is there really such a fat 'Cordyceps sinensis'? Liang Teng, do you think it is some fake?"

Liang Teng used the hand that was not grabbing the "grass insect" to hold his chin in thought (of course, his own chin).After a while, he opened his mouth slowly: "The price of 'Cordyceps' is too expensive, and counterfeit products are of course flooding the market. It would be too ugly to use 'Earth Silkworm' to pretend to be a fake 'Cordyceps'. Those 'Earth silkworm', shaped like a snail, is commonly known as 'snail vegetable' and has no medicinal value of 'Cordyceps'."

"As far as I know, there are some 'fakes' that can be used to deceive laymen, such as 'chrysalis', 'Yaxiangbang Cordyceps', Liangshan Cordyceps, branched Cordyceps, caddisworm...these come from a broad sense In other words, it can barely be classified into the 'Cordyceps' system family. According to the efficacy, like the 'Chrysalis', the 'Cordycepin' contained in it also has obvious effects on improving the body's immune function, anti-tumor and fatigue. Qualified substitutes for 'Cordyceps sinensis'... The reason why the industry classifies these things as 'fakes' is simple, they are cheap. The real 'Cordyceps sinensis' is expensive in the market. Use them to pretend 'Cordyceps sinensis', trying to sell to ignorant customers, isn't that a 'fake product'?!"

Speaking of this, Liang Teng especially emphasized a fake called "Cordyceps Flower".

The "Cordyceps flower" is actually the artificially cultivated Cordyceps fruiting body.It is artificially synthesized to imitate the various nutrients contained in natural insect bodies.Including "cereals", "beans", "custards"...etc.

It cannot be said that the fake "Cordyceps sinensis" has poor nutritional content.Similarly, one should not blindly believe that the authentic "Cordyceps sinensis" has very high nutritional content and is very unique.After all, its various ingredients can already be "artificially synthesized".

But the question now is not which is high and which is low in "nutrition".

Even if the "counterfeit" is more nutritious than the authentic "Cordyceps sinensis", so what?

Authentic "Cordyceps sinensis" is recognized in the market, even if the price is speculated, the current market situation is full of enthusiasm for authentic "Cordyceps sinensis".Genuine products can be sold at such high prices now.

Wu Xia nodded.

Buying some cheap goods at the price of "Cordyceps sinensis", the "buyer" will indeed lose a lot.

So she understood Liang Teng's meaning: the "cordyceps" they found now are so big, could it be some other "cordyceps"?

Could it be that expensive "authentic" "Cordyceps sinensis"? !

Liang Teng's doubts lie in this.

Wu Xia had too many opportunities to see the authentic "Cordyceps sinensis".In this respect, she is more authoritative.She said with certainty: "These are the most authentic 'Cordyceps sinensis'. Although the size is a bit bigger, but from the characteristics, it is easy to distinguish that this is the genuine product."

Seeing that Liang Teng still had doubts on his face, she further analyzed and explained: "In the Chinese herbal medicine market, the authentic 'Cordyceps autumn grass' recognized as the best quality includes 'Naqu Cordyceps sinensis' produced in 'Tibet', and 'Yushu'. 'The 'cordyceps sinensis' produced. The authentic cordyceps from these two places are of the best quality and the most expensive. Therefore, most unscrupulous merchants pretend to be the cordyceps from these two places and sell them as inferior ones."

"According to my opinion, the 'Cordyceps Autumn Grass' from Nagqu has the most yellow and pure surface color. The 'Cordyceps sinensis' from Yushu is yellowish brown. The color of Cordyceps from other producing areas is light, or reddish or white. Let’s distinguish the difference carefully, the Yushu Cordyceps looks firmer, while the Naqu Cordyceps looks fatter..."

"In addition, Cordyceps eucalyptus has a strong smell of mushrooms, while the 'Cordyceps' of Nagqu, the body and tail are bright and oily, with a strong smell of ghee...except for the strong smell of these two authentic Cordyceps , the 'Cordyceps' produced in other places has a very weak smell. It has no characteristics."

Speaking of this, Wu Xia stretched out her hand and picked up a piece of "Cordyceps sinensis", and brought it to the tip of her nose to sniff lightly. A strong scent of ghee came from her fingertips.

She said with certainty: "Although the 'Cordyceps' in this cave is large in size, judging from its characteristics and smell, it is an out-and-out 'Cordyceps Nagqu'. Of course, it is not really produced in Nagqu, Tibet. ''s 'Cordyceps sinensis', but these varieties of Cordyceps should have originated from Tibet."

Liang Teng had a weird expression on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Isn't the authentic 'Cordyceps autumn grass' wild? The artificially transplanted 'Cordyceps autumn grass' doesn't feel so authentic."

Wu Xia thought for a while, and said: "It should not be said to be a real artificial transplant. It should be in a long time ago, similar to the 'invasion of species'. The 'Cordyceps fungus' from Nagqu was brought to this 'Imperial Capital' ', and by chance, combined with the 'bat moth larvae' in this cave... and finally reproduced in a large area, forming the best 'cordyceps sinensis' we see now."

Liang Teng still felt a little ridiculous.But it is difficult to find the ultimate truth about this kind of thing, and it can only be some reasonable analysis and guessing.

But Wu Xia firmly believed in his own analysis.

Just like some "alien species" introduced from abroad, such as "crayfish", who would have expected that they would form such a huge scale in China in a short period of time.

The two protagonists quickly let go of the issue.

Liang Teng muttered: "I don't know how many 'cordyceps' are in this cave? If the quantity is amazing, it is really a windfall! This stuff is extremely expensive. I just don't know, If the quantity of 'Winter Grass and Summer Grass' increases, will it affect its market price and sales?!"

"Are you still worried about not being able to sell it? Or not being able to sell it at the ideal price?"

Wu Xia looked at him a little amusedly: "My grandmother is mainly engaged in the business of medicinal materials. I think I should have a deeper understanding of the market, right?!"

"As far as I know, although this 'Cordyceps' is expensive, it is aimed at the upper-class consumer groups. According to normal usage, 'Cordyceps' must be taken every day in order to receive the best health care effect. This daily The serving size is about 5 grams. That is to say, a rich person who eats 'Cordyceps' eats 5 grams a day, and after one year, he would have to eat about 1825 grams, which means he would eat 3 catties and 6 taels There are so many 'cordyceps'. Since it is a health food for the rich, it is a pure 'luxury consumable'. The price ratio of gold is the price ratio of gold, but gold will never be eaten by people, right? But 'cordyceps' is mainly It is used for eating. Therefore, the sales volume of 'Cordyceps sinensis' is far greater than you imagine."

Hearing Wu Xia report the bunch of numbers, Liang Teng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Although he is now a rich man who can afford "Cordyceps sinensis", his thinking is still in the consciousness of "poor people".

I couldn't help but secretly calculated in my heart: If this rich man really eats it, he will eat about 4 catties of "Cordyceps sinensis" a year.Now the market price of authentic Cordyceps is already at a high level of 25 per catty.That is equivalent to the rich eating "Cordyceps health products", at least a million a year.In order to achieve the "health effect" as Wu Xia said.

Of course, Liang Teng can afford to eat millions of "health products" a year.

But he always felt that the efficacy of "Cordyceps sinensis" might be exaggerated, and he was still skeptical about whether taking it would achieve the effect as advertised.

However, after Wu Xia's analysis, Liang Teng was not worried at all that the market price of "Cordyceps sinensis" would shrink in the short term.

Estimates are still "supply exceeds demand".

The reason is simple, the output of this thing is too small.

Therefore, now that Liang Teng accidentally discovered authentic "Cordyceps sinensis" in the "cave", what he should worry about is not the market price and market saturation, but whether he can dig up many "Cordyceps sinensis" here.

If he can really dig out one ton or two tons of "Cordyceps sinensis", then he will win a special prize.If three or five tons could be dug out... Oh, he couldn't even imagine it.

It is estimated that the output of "Cordyceps" in a county in "Tibetan" will not reach several tons! ! !
Liang Teng is not greedy either: as long as he can harvest tons of "Cordyceps" in this "cave" in the mountainside, that is, if he can make hundreds of millions after selling it, he will wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

In fact, it is impossible for ordinary people to dream of being able to catch a ton of "Cordyceps".In the eyes of ordinary people, Liang Teng is really "greedy".
