Chapter 27
【Brother Qi, look ahead! I wipe it! Maybe I was wrong, there seems to be something there! 】
See the barrage sent by the audience?
Lin Qi turned his head and looked forward. next moment!
"Um?!"
In front of this black truffle collection area, under a birch tree about seven or eight meters tall, a plant 25 to 30 centimeters tall?
It was spreading its leaves growing in layers, suddenly appearing in everyone's sight!
【What the hell? Is this what you are talking about? It doesn’t look like anything special! It looks a bit like wild celery, but what is this little red ball?】
【It must be some kind of weed, right? This thing should be very common in the jungle. What is there to make a fuss about? (pout)】
【no......Are you really telling this? Wild ginseng! This is a wild ginseng! (speechless)】...
Seeing the barrage of this group of idiotic viewers, many viewers who had clearly figured out what this plant was immediately started roaring with black lines on their faces!
【What?! 】
In an instant.
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on!
The direction of the barrage, which was originally unnoticed, suddenly changed. Everyone opened their eyes in disbelief and stared at the plant in front of them.......
Wild ginseng getting closer and closer
【Brother Qi, is this really wild ginseng?! 】
Many viewers are questioning.
However, Lin Qi's heart was beating wildly. He quickly came to the mountain ginseng and looked at the layers of leaves standing in the air?
Lin Qi carefully counted:"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven? Seven layers?! Let me go, there are seven layers of leaves? This is simply......"
Lin Qi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Different from the surprise of the audience.
Lin Qi felt only crazier shock and solemnity in his heart at this moment!
You know, as Lin Qi said before, if ginseng is artificially grown, it will be pulled out and sold for money in about two years.
After all, artificially grown ginseng is not valuable. If it exceeds this age, more and more toxins will accumulate in the ginseng body.
In the end, it exceeded the efficacy of the medicine and turned into a completely poisonous ginseng!
As for the few that use free-range cultivation methods like Lin Qi's, although the collection period will be slightly longer, it is usually about five years.
After all, chemical farmers need funds for turnover. If the time is too long, not many chemical farmers can afford it, even if they are frugal.
And at this moment.
Looking at the purely natural woodland around us, filled with shrubs and weeds, it is obvious that no farmer would plant just one ginseng tree alone.
Consider the presence of black truffles here.
Lin Qi narrowed his eyes slightly
"Could it be......"
"Is it really wild ginseng?"
"This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here! We were still talking about whether we could find wild ginseng before. Unexpectedly, we encountered it just how long ago?"
Lin Qi's voice was filled with excitement.
As a child in the mountains, Lin Qi certainly knew how precious wild ginseng was. If nothing else, even if this wild ginseng is only 30 centimeters long?
The price can reach thousands of yuan!
If it is old , If it reaches more than 20 years, the price can directly double. Of course, if the age can be higher, the price will increase exponentially.
However,......
The number of wild ginsengs that are more than 20 years old, whether in this world or in previous lives, is not very large.
Lin Qi is more pragmatic. As long as this wild ginseng plant is more than 10 years old, it will be considered a high-end product!
【Hurry up! Brother Qi, dig in quickly! This is wild ginseng. If the size and age are sufficient, then this can be another windfall! (excited)】
【What to say......Why did Brother Qi count the layers of the blades just now? Could this thing be useful? Or is this something related to age? (curious)】
【Eh? That's right, Brother Qi, why do you need to count the layers of the blades? (frown)】......
"The number of ginseng leaf layers is indeed directly related to its age."Lin Qi nodded, took out the dagger from his waist, and carefully placed it next to him.
Lin Qi took out a red rope from his backpack, tied it with the surrounding dead branches, and carefully surrounded the wild ginseng.
At the same time, he Around the ginseng, he picked up a fallen leaf and hung it high on the branch of the birch tree in front of him.
After doing all this,
Lin Qi knelt in front of the ginseng.
As if he was praying?
Or as if he was doing something, he whispered softly After muttering something for a long time, Lin Qi took a deep breath, dug with a dagger, and continued to talk about the topic just now:
"Generally speaking, the leaves of ginseng are particular about how they grow. In the first year, ginseng will only grow one layer of five leaves."
"This is what we call slap in the old saying."
"In the second year, there are two layers and ten pieces. At this time, it is called Erjiazi, and some people call it Double Lampstand."
"Three years has three layers and fifteen leaves, which are called three-grade leaves or lampstands. Four years has four layers and twenty leaves, which is the fourth-grade leaves, and so on."
"Under normal circumstances, ginseng will no longer grow new leaf layers after five years of growth."
"Of course, there are no absolutes. A small number of ginseng will still continue to grow. Most of this only happens on wild ginseng."
"And if it exceeds the fifth-grade leaf and reaches the sixth-grade leaf, it means that it is at least six years old."
"The reason why I counted the layers just now was to determine its age. Now it seems that this wild ginseng should be at least seven years old."
"If you wait a while, the diameter and texture of the dug-out ginseng body will be thicker and denser?"
"You can also continue to judge the age of this wild ginseng by its diameter and texture."
"if......"
"I mean what if ha!"
"This wild ginseng can reach a diameter of two centimeters and more than 30 centimeters, with well-developed roots and dense texture? Lin
Qi took a deep breath.
He looked up at the tracking device and said,"Then this guy's age will definitely be more than 10 years. Only then can we really say that we have made another windfall!""
"but......"
"There are too few wild ginseng of that age. You know, not only do we know that ginseng is valuable, but animals also know it!"
Think about the fallen wild boar carcass not far away, and then think about the way it looked like crazily eating black truffles just now?
【Don't panic, don't panic, I think this wild ginseng will definitely be 10 years old! I'm willing to bet on my roommate, who has been a bachelor for four years in college! (pray)】
【puff! Hahaha, good guy, make sure your roommates don’t see what you say upstairs, otherwise you’ll end up with orange blossoms at night! (funny)】
【Good guy, Brother Qi, what's going on with you? What the hell is that feudal superstition just now?】
【Let me QNMD! Upstairs, what is feudal superstition? Just start talking nonsense! This is a ritual that has been passed down for hundreds of years, right? (angry)】......
Just like the ceremony before launching a new ship, there is also a set of rituals when digging ginseng.
That's what Lin Qi just did. only......
