Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

Putting aside the matter of saving Xie Baoqing for the time being, Lu Juemin walked towards the ginseng.

I started observing carefully.

This ginseng has lush branches and leaves, and its rhizomes are extremely thick.

Moreover, the branches and leaves have already shown extremely thick brown spots.

And it exudes a special fragrance.

These characteristics are all unique to elderly ginseng.

But how many years exactly?

We have to dig it out to judge it.

So damn cool!

Lu Juemin was extremely excited and was fascinated by the show.

Instead, he forgot about Xie Baoqing who was still at the bottom of the cliff.

Xie Baoqing was so anxious that he shouted to the top of the cliff: "Boy, you are not going to take the IOU and do nothing, are you? Hurry up and rescue me!"

"No hurries?!"

Lu Juemin responded in a deep voice, then pulled out a handful of dry grass to cover the ginseng.

Then he found a sturdy branch and used it to pull Xie Baoqing up from the cliff.

After saving Xie Baoqing, Lu Juemin immediately raised his gun, pointed it at Xie Baoqing, and shouted, "Get out of here!"

"Good boy!"

Xie Baoqing had originally thought that after the other party rescued him, he would find a way to snatch the IOU from the other party.

Now that the other party is so alert, there is naturally no chance to snatch the IOU.

In line with the principle that a good man does not suffer a loss in front of him, Xie Baoqing had to leave here in disgrace.

After Xie Baoqing's figure completely disappeared, Lu Juemin still did not put down the hunting rifle in his hand.

He continued to hold the gun and warn for a long time before he came to the place where the wild ginseng grew.

He took out a small knife from the space and started digging the soil carefully.

Everyone says.

Ginseng is an extremely intelligent thing.

When digging it, be sure to tie a red rope around its plant.

If it doesn't, it will burrow underground and escape.

of course.

This is just a rumor.

No matter how magical ginseng is, it is just a plant.

To ensure the integrity of this ginseng.

So Lu Juemin dug very slowly.

After working for several hours and digging a hole nearly half a meter in size, I still didn't see the end of the ginseng.

At this time, the sun was just rising and the sky was bright.

Lu Juemin took out some beef jerky from the space, ate some and rested for a while, then continued to dig with a knife.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, around nine o'clock in the morning.

He dug out the whole old ginseng, including the roots and leaves.

Looking at the ginseng lying quietly in my hand.

Lu Juemin began to judge its age.

There is a special method to determine the age of ginseng.

For example, look at his reed bowl.

One reed bowl represents one year of life.

The ginseng in Lu Juemin's hand weighs more than one hundred yuan.

In other words, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng.

You can also look at the remaining points of ginseng.

The residual points are what appear during the dormant period of ginseng, and one residual point is ten years. This ginseng has ten residual points.

That means another hundred years.

The two together add up to more than two hundred years.

This is a ginseng that is more than two hundred years old!

Lu Juemin was so excited that he could no longer speak.

This is a treasure!

The absolute king of ginseng!

After the excitement, Lu Juemin began to think about how to sell it and sell it at the highest price.

"This kind of medicinal material is almost the treasure of the pharmacy. It has an extremely strong appeal to every pharmacy!"

"In that case! Then why don't I inform all the pharmacies in the city that I own this ginseng!"

"Then we can gather them together and have them bid together. Whoever bids the highest will win?"

Thinking like this.

Lu Juemin wrapped it up carefully and placed it against his chest.

After everything was ready, he packed up and went down the mountain.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the courtyard.

He went straight to the pharmacy closest to the city entrance.

And this pharmacy is not the other.

It was the Tongrentang which became famous in later generations.

After finding the shopkeeper of Tongrentang, Lu Juemin took out the ginseng and showed it to him.

When the shopkeeper saw the ginseng king, his eyes lit up and he asked with a trembling voice, "Little brother, how much do you want to sell it for?"

"How much are you willing to pay, boss?" Lu Juemin asked back.

"I can give you... 1000 yuan." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said a number.

1000?

too low.

It is far from what I expected!

In his previous life, he saw a video saying that someone had collected a hundred-year-old ginseng worth tens of millions.

According to the purchasing power of this era.

Then this ginseng of mine must be worth at least five figures, right?

So Lu Juemin put away the ginseng with a smile, shook his head and said: "Boss, the price you offer is really a bit low!"

"Ha ha!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Brother, business is business, it must be negotiated before it is considered business. I have made an offer, if you are not satisfied, you can give me a counter offer!"

Lu Juemin did not offer a counter-offer, but said sincerely: "Boss, let me tell you something. My main purpose of coming here today is not to sell ginseng, but to let you know that I have this thing!"

"Ok?"

The shopkeeper was a little confused: "Young man, are you trying to make me jealous?"

"No, no." Lu Juemin waved his hand and told him about his plan to sell ginseng.

And then he said, "If it's not too much trouble for the shopkeeper, you can help me pass the message on. If the shopkeeper offers the highest price, I can give you a discount or something!"

It is too troublesome to run from house to house by myself.

Asking the shopkeeper for help can save you a lot of time.

And the shopkeeper is more professional than me.

Should be able to handle it better than me.

The shopkeeper thought about it seriously, and finally agreed: "Okay, then I will take the lead!"

"But young man, let's make it clear in advance. If I don't win the bid for this ginseng king, you have to give me some hard work fee!"

"It's natural!"

Lu Juemin nodded in agreement.

that's it.

The shopkeeper of Tongrentang began to contact all the pharmacies, big and small, throughout the city.

For a while.

All the pharmacies in the city were discussing this king of ginseng.

They all began to prepare to buy this king of ginseng.

Houshan Hall.

After learning the news about the Ginseng King, Mr. Hou immediately began to raise money to buy ginseng.

Hou Deqiang was very puzzled: "Dad, we have plenty of good ginseng in Hou Shantang. I don't think we need to wade into this muddy water!"

"If you really have this much spare money, why not give it to me and I will open another silk shop for Xueru!"
