Live: My Laid-back Country Diary

Chapter 68 Pearl Point

With Xu Wei's help, his joining the club was quickly resolved.

"Sister Xu, is your ankle okay?" Lin Xiaole asked, remembering her ankle injury.

"It's okay, it's very good, it's completely normal." Xu Wei said in a good mood.

Obviously, the little accident yesterday didn't have any bad influence on her, instead it allowed her to see Lin Xiaole's miraculous medical skills.

"By the way, Xiaole, an elder in my family has been in poor health. When will you be free, can you come with me?"

Xu Wei suddenly made a proposal that made Lin Xiaole's heart skip a beat. After all, he is not a real doctor, and the means of curing diseases are all based on fairy water...

Although fairy water is very magical, it can't keep all diseases, right?If something bad happened, wouldn't Lin Xiaole want to show her face?

"I'm just a small farmer, not a doctor, sister, are you sure you want to see me?" Although Lin Xiaole didn't want to go, she didn't dare to refuse directly, and asked evasively.

"Xiaole, haven't I already told you, don't underestimate yourself, your medical skills are really good, just this weekend, you and I will go to the provincial capital."

Xu Wei no longer gave Lin Xiaole an excuse to shirk, and directly settled the matter with the hammer.

"What? The provincial capital? Sister Xu, do your elders live in the provincial capital?" Lin Xiaole said in surprise.

After all, for people like Lin Xiaole, the counties and cities don't look too tall, but the provincial capitals seem to be very high-end, which makes Lin Xiaole feel a little timid.

"Yeah, what's the matter? Don't dare to go?" Xu Wei said in a provocative tone.

"Who says I dare not go, not to mention the provincial capital, even the devil's capital and the imperial capital, I dare to go." Lin Xiaole was indeed young, and immediately fell into Xu Wei's provocative method.

Xu Wei smiled lightly and said, "I know you dare to go, so it's a happy decision. I'll drive to your village to pick you up on weekends."

Lin Xiaole was depressed, why was she impulsive just now?What Sister Xu did just now was obviously an aggressive method, why couldn't she calm down, why did she fall for it?
But now that he has agreed, it's too late to go back on his word, "Okay then, sister Xu and I will go there this weekend."

"That's right, well, I have nothing else to do and I'll hang up first, and there are still a lot of documents to be processed." Xu Wei said in a good mood.

"No more, then sister Xu, you should be busy. Goodbye." Lin Xiaole hung up Xu Wei's phone, sat in the car and became depressed,

Thinking about how to deal with weekend trips.

It's too late to go to a teacher to study temporarily, and it's unrealistic to find someone to inquire about the situation. It seems that I can only hold my feet temporarily, buy some books on Chinese medicine, and make up for my common sense, so as not to be ignorant and embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaole started the three-wheeled motorcycle. The motorcycle roared away and rushed into the county town. This time, Lin Xiaole didn't go to Carrian Supermarket or Fuchun Hotel, but came to Baicaoxuan.

The old man of Baicaoxuan was on duty. When he saw Lin Xiaole, he recognized him at a glance. After all, Baicaoxuan had just opened in Wenshan County not too long ago, and it was still a traditional Chinese medicine store. The customers of Yuan ginseng seeds and ganoderma lucidum seeds naturally have a deep memory, especially when they are still so young.

"It's you, young man, have the ginseng and ganoderma sprouted yet?" The old man greeted Lin Xiaole with a smile.

"Uh... that hehe, not yet." Lin Xiaole also read the planting encyclopedia given by the old man, and naturally knew that under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for ginseng and ganoderma to germinate at this time. If they germinate, it would be hell... …

Of course, Lin Xiaole couldn't expose her magical ability to ripen plants.

"Young man, I persuaded you the other day, don't buy so many, buy two pills and try again..." The old man also felt sorry for Lin Xiaole.

Lin Xiaole also had a look of regret, with a hint of stubbornness and disbelief, "How can I see a rainbow if I don't experience wind and rain? How can I know the way to success if I don't fail a few times? Besides, although I haven't grown ginseng and spiritual value, but But I found wild ginseng and ganoderma in my mountain.”

Lin Xiaole's expression deliberately became excited.

"Really?" The old man seemed very excited. The reason why Baicaoxuan opened a branch in this backward county is that apart from expansion, there is another point, that is, it was recorded in the classics of Baicaoxuan that Wenshan seems to have had a millennium ginseng king. This kind of thing is like a fairy medicine.

It's just that the records in the ancient books are very general, and there is no record in the ancient books about where such a king of Shen came out.

The current Patriarch of Baicaoxuan naturally knows that the family classics will not record some hearsay things, there must be some basis to record them, so when opening a branch and expanding the scale of Baicaoxuan, Wenshan is one of the key locations .

At this time, when Lin Xiaole said that he had found wild ginseng and ganoderma, he was naturally very excited.

He was able to sit here, so he was naturally a confidant of Baicaoxuan. Apart from opening the shop, he was also responsible for finding the place where the king of ginseng was produced.

"Young man, quickly show me your ginseng." The old man said excitedly.

Lin Xiaole gave the old man a sneaky look, can you pay attention to your words, what do you mean look at my ginseng?

But Lin Xiaole still took out the cloth bag carefully, and handed the ginseng and spiritual value inside to the old man.

The old man took the cloth bag carefully, put it on the glass table, and opened the cloth bag little by little. When he saw the ginseng inside that was already formed, his eyes widened, and his breathing followed. Get up in a hurry.

"This, is this really the wild ginseng you found?" The old man asked excitedly, staring at the ginseng.

"Yes, I found it." Lin Xiaole nodded and said.

"Great, great, old wild ginseng over a hundred years old, rare, rare, too rare..." The old man's lips trembled with excitement, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently.

Lin Xiaole was also shocked. Damn, after just watering it with fairy water for a few days, it turned out to be a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng?

"Ah, that's really great. It's more than a hundred years old. It must be worth a lot of money, right?" Lin Xiaole looked at the old man excitedly. He didn't need to hide his excitement, whether he planted it himself or found it in the wild. , more than a hundred years old wild ginseng, are precious medicinal materials, valuable.

Lin Xiaole had seen the price in this pharmacy before. If the price of this ginseng was based on the appearance of a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, it would cost more than one million...

"It's basically confirmed, there is nothing wrong with it." The old man took a magnifying glass and looked at the ginseng carefully, the more he looked, the more excited he became.

"What's the point? Why do you say it's more than a hundred years old wild ginseng?" Lin Xiaole asked curiously. Lin Xiaole didn't know anything about how to identify old wild ginseng.

"Of course there is talk. For thousands of years, countless seniors have summed up a verse. I say, listen to it... The reed bowls are close to each other, the round shoulders are round, the reeds are jujube cores, and the body is tight and fine-grained. The beard is like a leather strip. Long and clear. Pearls dotted under the beard, with this characteristic wild ginseng... Do you understand now?"

The old man stared at the ginseng, and casually answered Lin Xiaole's questions.

"I still don't understand this." Lin Xiaole scratched her head in embarrassment. In this verse, Lin Xiaole didn't understand many words at all. She guessed that they should be technical terms, and the old man needed to continue to answer them.

"Oh, yes, I forgot. You don't understand a few technical terms here. Let me explain to you...'Reed' is the rhizome part, which is covered with many stem marks, called 'reed bowl'." Jujube "Pipe" is the identification feature of wild ginseng. In fact, there are too few wild ginseng with jujube pits. You see, there are no small bumps on your ginseng. It is a typical jujube pit. Tsk tsk, it is so rare and beautiful ...

'Tight skin and fine lines' is an important characteristic of wild ginseng. 'Skin' refers to the outer skin of the main root. The younger wild ginseng has a compact, fine and smooth outer skin, yellowish white, and no rough skin.Older ginseng has a rough or rough skin.

'String' refers to the horizontal wrinkles on the surface of the main root.The horizontal stripes of wild ginseng are fine and complete; the lines are sunken, as if a thin iron wire once bound it, restraining the growth of wild ginseng.

And the direction of some wrinkles is upward, that is, the edge of the lower line covers the edge of the upper line, as if these transverse lines were caused by the downward contraction of the upper part of the main root.

'Whiskers' refer to the tapering fibrous roots on the main root and branches.

'Spot' refers to the irregularly distributed small bumps on the whiskers, which are calluses left by the tiny absorbing roots, commonly known as 'pearl spots'..."
