Chapter 1060: Buying Ginseng
Ginseng is a perennial herb. This needs no further introduction. You can look it up in any encyclopedia.
Basically, there are two types, one is the ginseng we are familiar with, and the other is American ginseng.
Mainly one kind lives in the Northeast, Korea, and the Far East of Soviet Russia, and the other kind lives in the United States and Canada.
In terms of medicinal efficacy, the ones in Asia are naturally better, but the prices in the United States are cheaper, and the most important thing is that if they are from the United States, they are basically wild, and few people there will cultivate them. this thing.
Ginseng is a medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, but in Western medicine it looks like a tree root. People in the United States do not believe this.
Therefore, there are basically three types of ginseng on the market. The ginseng produced in the east is mainly Changbai Mountain ginseng in Jimmu Province, Korean ginseng, and American ginseng, also called American ginseng. Mainly because in the late Manchu Dynasty and the previous dynasty, ordinary people were Foreigners are distinguished by the appearance of their flags. The American flag is very flashy, and with the addition of Citibank, this is called American ginseng.
Although Heilong Province is not related to Changbai Mountain, there are also a lot of ginseng in the Da'an Mountains and Xiao'an Mountains, and their medicinal effects are naturally good. In recent years, there are naturally no ginseng in the wild, but more and more ginseng is cultivated.
There are many types of ginseng that are cultivated. The one with the worst medicinal effect is garden ginseng. It is white and fat. It is raised in the same way as radish. Its nutrition is not much different from that of radish. It costs two or three yuan. One gram, each one is thicker than the other, and it is also the most common ginseng on the market. Those ginsengs in gift boxes are all made of this kind of ginseng. This kind of ginseng is cultivated for 3 to 6 years.
The slightly better one is called edge ginseng. It is transplanted twice. It is first raised in the garden until it can almost survive in the wild. Then it is moved to the fields on the mountain for planting. The advantage is that the nutrition is finally better than that of radish. , the disadvantage is that they are a bit wild in appearance. Generally speaking, such ginseng needs to be cultivated for more than six to eight years.
The price in the market is about one hundred yuan per plant. There is no specific price. It depends on the integrity of each merchant.
The last one is also the best cultured one, Shizhu Ginseng, which is often called understory ginseng. This kind of ginseng is a species of wild ginseng. The seedlings are directly selected, and then the conditions in the wild are simulated on the mountain. Planted under a big tree.
At most, weeding is done, absolutely no fertilization or pesticides are used, and the soil and climate are strictly controlled.
This thing should grow very slowly, because there are many things in nature competing with it for nutrients. Basically, it will take fifteen to twenty years before it can be mature and ready for the market. It is such a long time. time, naturally the price is also extremely expensive.
This kind of ginseng, after being grown, can only weigh 30 grams at most, while garden ginseng can grow up to 300 grams. This is the difference.
The price is not only ten times that of garden ginseng, it may be twenty or thirty times. The main thing depends on the efficacy of the medicine.
Jiang Hai only looked at the ginseng trees. He was only interested in the best ones, but unfortunately, they were the same as the red pine trees.
Understory ginseng seedlings are basically cultivated, and seeds are available, but after buying them, you don’t know whether they will survive. So most people buy ginseng seedlings, but it is not reliable for others to buy seeds. Jiang Hai didn't care.
So after walking around, he bought a lot of ginseng seeds, which are the small red fruits of ginseng.
Of course, these seeds are not made from real wild ginseng, they are all made from artificial breeding. But even so, the price of this thing is not cheap. After coming here for a while, Jiang Hai bought a hundred kilograms. Fuyuan's classmates gave him fifty pine cones, and he also bought three hundred ginseng seeds. It can be said that he returned home with a full harvest!
In the evening, Fuyuan's classmates were originally going to treat them to a meal of forest frogs here, but Jiang Hai and the others left. After all, it would take three hours to drive back, so they didn't eat, but Fuyuan A classmate from far away brought them a lot of forest frogs. Of course, they are not wild frogs, so they are also called snow clams, but Jiang Hai and the others prefer to call them hash ants. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was offered as a sacrifice. Its scientific name is Northeast Rana, and its taste is quite good.
Together with bear paws, flying dragons, and hericium, it is also known as one of the four mountain treasures. When Jiang Hai was a child, his father often bought this thing to eat. It was not expensive, only a few yuan a pound. After buying it, Jiang Hai could play with it. For a few days, and these days he was so busy just cleaning it up and frying it to eat. This thing is delicious at best, and usually it’s also delicious when fried, just like fried birds. I guess this happened when everyone was young. They have all played it. Basically, there are very few people of the father’s generation who have never hunted or stuck birds.
After all, the original sparrow was not a protected animal. It was one of the four pests. The country originally called for eating this thing.
But in comparison, the hash ant is more delicious than the bird, but later this thing became less and less popular. For a while, this thing was even listed as a protected animal, but the ban was lifted within a few years because of this thing. It’s so nurturing.
You can raise it in any pond. A pair of frogs can lay hundreds of frogs in one go. They will grow into frogs in two months and can be released on the market in a few months. It is really easy to raise. You want it in two years. As many as you can have.
However, Jiang Hai hasn't eaten this thing for a while, so he can take it back and study it this time.
After everything was done here, Jiang Hai and his party of three also drove back to Ice City.
That night, Jiang Hai ate fried hashish cooked by Qi Ya. Even though Qi Ya was just a little girl, she was very professional. No matter what it was, as long as it was made of ingredients, she would do it. Well, other little girls are afraid of snakes, mice, and frogs, but Qi Ya doesn't need to do any of that. When she was still alive, she took scissors and took Zheng Xiu moth to cut off her head, open her intestines, and remove her. If you encounter the internal organs of a female occasionally, you should keep the oil and seeds, but very little.
This toy is like selling crabs, there must be more males and fewer females. Snow clam oil and seeds are much more expensive than hash clams.
Qi Ya fried this thing three times. It was so crispy that when Jiang Hai ate it at night, he didn’t even have to spit out the bones. He could just add the five-spice salt and eat it. It was crispy and crispy. It was so delicious. Not yet. It has an earthy smell. To be honest, the frog is called a frog, but its taste is much better than chicken. He ate up the little bit that Fuyuan's classmates brought him in a short time.
And this thing may have some supplements. Jiang Hai felt much more vigorous at night.
In this way, an ordinary day passed again. In the following days, Jiang Hai lived in Bingcheng just as he did in the manor.
When he gets up every morning, he doesn't feel comfortable showing off to his old mother-in-law that he has nothing to do with the world, so after breakfast every morning, he goes back to his room to stay for a while, or goes out to play with his friends. .
But after all, it's not the time for school now. Everyone has work and things to do, and all the time for leisure is in the evening.
However, Jiang Hai doesn't like to go out at night, so he seems very bored during the day. Fortunately, he can endure the loneliness and plays computer or mobile games in the house. He also has a lot of fun. Recently He is more addicted to a game called Onmyoji. It is difficult to understand why a game from an island country is made by a Chinese game company and is not imported. However, the game is indeed good. Jiang Hai is quite addicted to this game. , I charged some money, but basically I didn’t get anything very good.
But it’s not too bad, because there are Tamaki, Shuten, Guhotori, Ichimuro and other souls, and other Janussu and the like, everyone has them, so they can ignore them. This lineup, plus all Some supports such as Mountain Rabbit and Jinyu Man are quite good. They are not considered Europeans, but they are not considered Africans either. There is no problem if you think about it. His nationality is Chinese and his territory is in the United States. He is indeed neither European nor African. ah! As for the night, it was Qi Li and Du Ning's home court.
Of course, the other girls are not completely untouched. Although Jiang Hai said that under Qi Li's suppression, he would not be affected by all odds, but sometimes he still has time to find some time. Qi Li is also Turn a blind eye.
In this way, more than half a month passed unknowingly, and it soon came to mid-May.
The matter of Qi Yuanlong's family has been basically settled. Qi Zhengtao went in. Qi Yuanlong found countless connections and wanted to give him a reprieve so that he could think of a solution, but unfortunately, Jiang Hai and Qi Li would not give it to him. Such an opportunity.
Qi Zhengtao was sentenced to ten years for the crime of attempted murder. Of course, there were other charges besides that, but they had nothing to do with Jiang Hai.
Zhao Chen also went in and was sentenced to fifteen years. After all, this guy had too much dirty information, but as Jiang Hai said, if he went in on his own initiative, Jiang Hai would not kill him. In fifteen years, he almost came out with Qi Zhengtao, but if Qi Zhengtao couldn't come out, no one would know.
After the dust settled here, Qi Li found Qi Yuanlong through Lu Si. After explaining it to him, he also accepted 0.5% of Qi's shares. He knew that this was Qi Li's pension for him, and he I don't have the thought to do anything else.
At this point, the affairs of the Qi family have officially come to an end. When the affairs of the Qi family have been officially resolved.
Jiang Hai's old mother-in-law's heart problem is basically fine. As long as she eats Jiang Hai's beef and fish well, it won't be a big problem. After all the things in Bingcheng are settled, Qi Li has to leave. . (To be continued.)
