The reason why Zhao Qin came along today was, on the one hand, to verify the search function of the system.

On the other hand, the system's real-time luck value today is 52 points, so I think I'll come across one or two good things.

In fact, it was still somewhat dangerous for him to go down the cliff like this, which was why Song Zhong wanted to stop him.

After tying the rope, Zhao Qin pulled it slowly downwards. After a while, he saw clusters of weeds in the cracks of the rocks.

Looking closer, it looks more like edible wild purslane, which is the fresh product of Dendrobium officinale.

He had seen this thing before, but it was a dry product, similar to straw. He heard that some people used straw to impersonate Dendrobium.

It was the first time he had seen such a fresh product.

He took out the medicine hoe from the bamboo basket and dug out one flower first. After checking the system, he confirmed that it was Dendrobium. Only then did he feel completely relieved.

"Uncle-master, do you want me to pull you up?" Song Zhong on top shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, there's something good."

Song Zhong didn't believe that Zhao Qin could dig up anything. In his opinion, the junior master probably didn't even know what herbs looked like.

I have a headache. What should I say if my junior uncle digs up a basket of weeds?

Below, Zhao Qin didn't care what Song Zhong thought. He picked up the bit in front of him first, then called up, "Xiao Song, loosen the rope a little more."

Then we dug deeper. We found that the crack was quite long and full of plants.

Like ginseng, dendrobium is also called forest dendrobium, which means it is artificially planted and grown in a simulated wild environment.

Some people even cultivate and raise them directly, but the medicinal properties of these are far from comparable to those of wild ones.

Dendrobium is also measured by age, and most of them can only grow for about five years. However, unlike ginseng, the older it is, the better.

The best is the three-year-old Dendrobium, because the stems, not the roots, are the main part of the Dendrobium used as medicine.

Three years is the peak period of medicinal properties. If it is too early, it will be too tender and the medicinal properties will be insufficient.

If it is too old, the stems will rot and the stem fibers will become more numerous and older, affecting the taste and medicinal properties.

What Zhao Qin is picking now are almost all about three and a half years old, which are considered top-notch. The system estimates that fresh products are worth 1200 yuan per kilogram.

From fresh to dried Dendrobium, there are great differences depending on the season and origin.

For example, when wild dendrobium is harvested in summer, the water content is high, and generally ten kilograms of fresh product is required to dry one kilogram of dried product.

If it is farmed, the loss is even greater, and it takes twelve kilograms of dried fish to dry one kilogram.

But this is winter harvest, and five kilograms of fresh products can be dried into one kilogram. According to the system valuation, the price of one kilogram of dried products is 6000 yuan.

That is 12 yuan per gram, which is really not expensive.

Upstairs, Wang Jiasheng was still worried, so he went to the place where they had separated earlier to look for them. As a result, he saw Yu Fako sitting there to rest.

"Ako, where is my junior brother?"

"Aqin went south, so it shouldn't be far."

Wang Jiasheng was startled. The south was full of cliffs and it was quite dangerous. He asked one of his young nephews to stay with Yu Fako.

He groped his way toward the south.

When he got closer, he saw Song Zhong standing alone on the edge of the cliff. He hurriedly asked, "Where is your junior master?"

"Master, Junior Uncle has gone down to collect herbs."

"Nonsense, how dangerous it is, your junior master doesn't know since he's just arrived, and you don't know yet, hurry up and pull the person up."

"Master, I can't persuade you."

"If your junior uncle touches it, I will not settle the score with you." Wang Jiasheng said as he was about to pull the rope, "Junior brother, are you okay?"

"Brother, I'm fine. Don't pull the rope yet. There are dendrobiums underneath. I'll come up after I pick them."

“Is there really a dendrobium?”

"Why did you lie to me?"

When Wang Jiasheng heard that there was good medicine, he didn't move anymore, but just wrapped his hands around the rope, which was like adding another layer of safety.

This wait lasted another two hours. Wang Jiasheng would occasionally call out to make sure Zhao Qin was alright.

At this moment, many people have gathered and it is time to go back.

As Liu Jing walked south, he muttered depressedly that everyone's harvest in the mountain today was not good, and it seemed that winter was not a good time to pick herbs.

"Big Brother, where is Junior Brother?"

Wang Jiasheng pointed down and said, "Junior brother said that he found the dendrobium, and ended up having Song Zhong hang him up."

"Little Junior Brother, can you recognize what Dendrobium is? It's very rare. Don't mistake it for a weed, right?"

His thoughts were the same as Song Zhong's. If he picked a basket of weeds, should he laugh at him or not? It was a headache.

"Brother, it's gone, pull me up."

Hearing this, Wang Jiasheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and started to pull the rope. Together with Song Zhong, both of them were quite strong and soon they pulled Zhao Qin up.

Liu Jing stood at the edge of the cliff and stretched out her hand for Zhao Qin to hold for leverage.

"The harvest is not bad, about ten kilograms of fresh products, which can be sold at a good price."

Liu Jing took one out of his backpack and exclaimed at a glance, "Oh my god, it really is a wild Dendrobium officinale. Junior brother, how did you recognize it?"

"I went to Anhui Province with someone before and saw people doing this." Zhao Qin responded casually.

"Hey, you said you didn't get anything today. It turns out that good luck is with you, Junior Brother. No wonder Master said you are a person with great luck. It really is true."

Wang Jiasheng took his backpack, tried the weight, and praised it happily.

"Let's go down the mountain. Master will definitely be happy to see this."

Everyone went down the mountain talking and laughing. When they returned to the Taoist temple, the old Taoist was quite satisfied with their harvest.

"Not bad, not bad, it's a good medicine." Then he pointed at Yu Fake and said, "Dry it in the sun these two days, take some back with you, it will be very beneficial for your dampness and heat.

Take one to two roots a day and soak them in water to drink. ”

Zhao Qin was moved. Last time when he asked Yu Fako where he felt uncomfortable, he was a little hesitant. Now his master said it was due to damp heat. Could it be caused by a weak spleen and stomach?

At this time, Yu Fa Ke's face turned red again. Zhao Qin did not ask him on the spot.

"Master, all these herbs were collected by me alone." Wang Jiasheng reported the situation fairly.

The old Taoist looked at Zhao Qin, and then said to everyone, "I said earlier that your junior brother is a man of great luck. You will be right to listen to him in the future."

It’s no wonder that Zhao Qin thought too much. It was clear that there was something else behind Master’s words.

"Okay, Jiasheng, take everyone to eat first. After dinner, you will be responsible for drying these herbs."

"Yes, Master."

Wang Jiasheng led a group of people to the sink to wash their hands, and then started to eat.

There were a lot of leftovers yesterday, so today we ate almost all the leftovers. Zhao Qin was not picky, so he could eat whatever everyone else could.

Halfway through the meal, Miaomiao came over and said, "Uncle, take me out to play this afternoon."

This girl, I carried her up the mountain yesterday, she must be addicted to it.

"Not today." Seeing the little girl's lost eyes, Zhao Qin held her on his lap and said, "Can I teach Miaomiao Kung Fu this afternoon?"

"Okay." The little girl probably doesn't even understand the word Kung Fu, so it will be fun in the future.
