I add some attributes to the urban world

Chapter 56 Chen Xia has dug up ginseng! [Please collect it! 】

Chen Xia looked carefully and found a ginseng seed protruding from the soil on the ground.

Below the ginseng seeds, there are purple and black stems, and there are three branches and leaves growing on it.

"My luck is good, this seems to be ginseng...these are ginseng leaves!" Chen Xia quickly squatted down to take a closer look.

Chen Xia stayed on the mountain for a long time, but it was all hunting and fishing, and this was the first time he encountered ginseng.He checked a lot of ginseng information on the Internet before and learned something about it.

Wild ginseng grows very slowly, and can grow a complete palm-shaped compound leaf in one to ten years, commonly known as "slap".

Ten to 20 years later, there will be two palmate compound leaves, commonly known as "Erjiazi".

It will be possible to grow three palmate compound leaves after 30 years, commonly known as "dengtaizi".It looks like a lampstand with three candles inserted. The main root has the distinct characteristics of wild ginseng. It is gradually mature and has round reeds, which will bloom and bear fruit.

The farther to the back, the more leaves, but the slower it grows, it may take ten years or even decades to grow one leaf.

If it is garden ginseng, that is, the kind that is artificially planted, it will grow faster, and it will grow to five or six leaves in six years.

Wild ginseng generally has five or six leaves, and underground ginseng is very large.

"What I found was three-leaf ginseng. The third leaf is not very big, it has only grown halfway, and it should have a cycle of about 25 years."

Chen Xia was a little excited.For him, this is already very good.

"I have to dig it out!" Chen Xia thought to himself.

As far as Chen Xia knew, digging ginseng in the mountains actually had a lot of specialties. For example, when encountering four-leaf ginseng, the number was unlucky. Usually, if you shouted a stick, your companions would know what it meant.

When ginseng is found, it needs to be tied with a thread tied with copper coins for excavation, so as not to make mistakes when digging.There are many anti-normal rules, and Chen Xia has also heard about them from the old man, and even read some on the Internet.

Chen Xia doesn't care about anything else, just dig it out.

This is a delicate job, so you have to dig a little bit so as not to damage the rhizomes.

At this moment, Jiang Qing noticed that Chen Xia was squatting motionless in the corner of the grass, smiling furtively, so she came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are ginseng here." Chen Xia turned her head and smiled. If he hadn't been out fishing with Jiang Qing, he probably wouldn't have collected firewood here, but would have picked firewood in the nearby mountains, so he wouldn't have encountered ginseng.

"Ginseng?" Jiang Qing's parents went to dig it when she was a child, but there were so many people digging it that it was difficult to find it, so she didn't know much about it.

But ginseng is definitely a good thing.

Jiang Qing was very happy, knowing that Chen Xia seemed to be drinking traditional Chinese medicine every day to practice martial arts, which happened just right.

"Do you have any knives in your package?" Chen Xia asked.

"There seems to be a small switchblade. You wait, I'll get it!" Jiang Qing turned and ran down the mountain, and returned to the river with the switchblade and handed it to Chen Xia.

Chen Xia popped out the blade, and began to clean up the surrounding weeds, and then shoveled the soil.

If ginseng is sold, the rhizome must remain intact, so be careful.

Of course, even if Chen Xia digs up ginseng, he still eats it by himself, so he is bolder, even if he digs it up, he can take it back to make soup together.

Chen Xia was very strong, and sometimes he shoveled the soil with his hands. Jiang Qing saw Chen Xia grabbing the soil with both hands and throwing it to the side quickly.Also come to help.

"Chen Xia, be gentle, the mud is throwing my face!"

"OK…."

It took time to remove the mud and pull out the roots bit by bit. Chen Xia spent a lot of time and finally dug it out.

Chen Xia held it in both hands, and looked at the muddy ginseng in her hands without moving.

The ginseng is not very big and the appearance is perfect.The middle section is section by section, two and a half fingers are long, the ring finger is thick and thin, and there are two legs, while the beard of ginseng is very long, nearly half a foot.

It's not heavy to weigh, and maybe two taels after removing the mud.

"It's really ginseng, isn't it worth a lot of money?" Jiang Qing happily wiped the mud off his face and asked.

Chen Xia shook her head and said, "This kind of ginseng must be worth three thousand, but I don't know the details."

He is not an expert in this field, but Chen Xia probably won't be too high.After all, the weight and volume of the year is here, not hundreds of years. Ginseng with hundreds of years has limited value.

For this thing, you can roughly know the price by counting the year.

And the price of wild ginseng has nothing to do with the leaves. The leaves of ginseng grow in cycles.It grows from the first pint leaf.After growing to the sixth-rank leaves, they will return to the first-rank leaves to reincarnate and grow again. A few of them will produce seventh-rank leaves due to lesions.

The factors that determine the price of wild ginseng are the shape, age and weight of the ginseng.

"Here's a bag, here it is!" Jiang Qing went down the mountain and brought another bag.

Chen Xia carefully put it into the bag, just enough to fit it, so as not to drop the rhizome.

"This ginseng is wild no matter what, it's better than the ginseng I bought online!" Chen Xia was excited.

Jiang Qing asked, "Have you ever bought ginseng yourself?"

"Well, I bought it. I bought a ginseng worth more than 900 a few days ago. This time, I will try to see how the wild ginseng dug out works." Chen Xia looked at the ginseng, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

For those who practice martial arts, this is really a good thing, especially with Chen Xia's physical strength, he can eat even the best ginseng, and he is not afraid of supplementing it.

A look of surprise flashed across Jiang Qing's eyes.I didn't expect Chen Xia to use such an expensive thing.

After finishing all this, Chen Xia deliberately made some ginseng seeds and put them into the dug pit, maybe they can be shipped later.

"Thank you this time!"

After burying the soil, Chen Xia was very grateful to Jiang Qing and offered some compensation, but Jiang Qing was self-aware that this ginseng was discovered by Chen Xia, and it was useless for Jiang Qing to ask for it, even if it was for money, it had nothing to do with her .

Chen Xia is not hypocritical, just help Jiang Qing catch more fish in the future.

"Chen Xia, let's look for it, maybe there are some nearby?" Jiang Qing suggested.

"Okay!" So, Chen Xia and Jiang Qing continued to search around, but they only searched for a long time until noon, they searched everywhere, and only found two small ginseng seedlings with one leaf.

This looks like a little guy, it's too wasteful to dig, and the medicine has little effect.

"Ginseng is not so easy to find, it's not everywhere, it's almost noon, let's go back!"

Chen Xia glanced at her watch, and before she knew it, it was already 11:30.

Jiang Qing nodded, they had done everything they should do, the fish were caught, and the ginseng could not be found, so they had to go back to eat.

The two packed up their things and went down the mountain together.

Three bundles of firewood were placed behind Chen Xia's back.

Since he was carrying a lot of things, including fish, tools, and firewood, Chen Xia asked Jiang Qing to ride back by himself, and he took the things by himself.

"It's okay, let's go together!" Jiang Qing replied.

Chen Xia shook her head: "It's fine for me to go back alone. Now I have a lot of things, and I can't carry them by bike. You don't have to wait for me, the road is too far."

After all, Chen Xia doesn't care if it's a kilometer or two. Jiang Qing, a frail woman, can't walk so far.

Hearing this, Jiang Qing pretended to hum and said: "Chen Xia, you still look down on me, I'm not so weak. I can walk, and besides, we came together, how can I throw you halfway alone? How dishonest! Don’t talk about it, I’ll help you!”

"Okay!" Chen Xia said.

Only then did Jiang Qing laugh out two sweet little dimples, and said, "Look at me!"
