My barrage in the wild can be withdrawn

Chapter 84 Sleeping in the Wilderness
After turning on the skill, Zhou Chen's progress became much faster.

At this moment, the sun has dipped below the horizon.

The night is coming.

Zhou Chen had to change into a camcorder.

It was a little strange for the people in the live broadcast room to see him rushing all night.

"Brother Chen, aren't you camping today?"

"Yes, boss, it's getting dark, why are you still on your way?"

"I should have gone far enough today."

"How dangerous it is to drive at night."

Evidently everyone disapproved of his overnight journey.

Zhou Chen grinned, with an extremely embarrassing wry smile on his face.

Doesn't he want to take a break?

But does he have a choice now?
Not to mention the problem of missions, it would take a lot of effort to light a bonfire on this empty snowfield.

What to build a shelter with?

Seeing everyone asking non-stop, Zhou Chen had no choice but to explain, "I also want to take a break, but look around here, it's so empty, there's nothing but snow. If I stop now, I'll probably freeze to death at night."

Zhou Chen explained, and the pace became faster.

He didn't dare to stop at this moment.

Because once he stops, his body temperature will drop rapidly, and it will be difficult to move again.

One hour.

Two hours.

……

Walked for four hours.

Zhou Chen walked out of the snowfield and entered a coniferous forest with sparse vegetation.

Entering the forest, the wind suddenly subsided.

Looking around, he found that there was much less snow here than on Xiaobai Mountain.

In some areas, black soil was even exposed.

It may be related to the terrain here.

Glancing at the time, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

[Ding, the clue task has been completed. 】

When Zhou Chen's left foot just touched a withered yellow plant on the ground, the system's notification sounded.

Sweeping away a thin layer of snow on the ground, Zhou Chen looked overjoyed.

Because he discovered that the item on the item clue card turned out to be a wild ginseng.

Although the leaves of the wild ginseng had withered and withered, Zhou Chen recognized it at a glance.

Wild ginseng has been found, but how to dig it out has become a new problem.

This is Daxing'an, which is minus 30 degrees Celsius.

The soil is as frozen as ice, so it must be very difficult to dig by force.

Since he couldn't dig directly, Zhou Chen had no choice but to patiently thaw the frozen soil.

Picking up some dried branches, he lit a pair of bonfires on the left and right sides of the wild ginseng.

After the bonfire was lit, the surroundings became brighter.

Pointing the camera lens at a withered yellow plant between two campfires, Zhou Chen said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a wild ginseng."

Zhou Chen's words cheered up a fan who was all chatting.

"Wild ginseng???"

"It's true, Daxing'an is so cold, the ginseng has already froze to death."

"Ginseng? Wouldn't that make a lot of money?"

"Brother Chen, I run a ginseng shop. Sell this ginseng to me for 2 yuan. I'm a big fan, so don't criticize me."

"The one in front, you dare to ask for a price before the boss digs it out?"

Although this plant is withered, but looking at its rhizomes, it can also be found that it is growing very well.

The price of wild ginseng is much more expensive than artificially cultivated ginseng, and it is basically sold by the gram.

The price depends not only on the grams, but also on the age.

The market price of wild ginseng under 5 years old is 15-200 yuan per gram.

The market price of wild ginseng aged 10-30 years is 100-500 yuan per gram.

If wild ginseng is more than 30 years old, it will basically not be sold by grams, but the whole plant.

The shape and appearance at this time can also be used as a pricing standard.

Seeing this fan, Zhou Chen just smiled and said nothing.

Although he has never bought ginseng, his understanding of ginseng is no less than that of ordinary connoisseurs.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Chen felt that he still needed to popularize science with everyone to prevent being deceived by profiteers in the future.

"As we all know, the price of ginseng is closely related to age."

"Ginseng with a high age is more than ten times more expensive than those with a younger age."

"Since the age of ginseng determines the price, how can we judge the age of ginseng?"

After flipping the wolf meat on the bonfire, Zhou Chen rubbed his hands and wrapped all the wolf skins in the backpack around his body.

He continued: "We can judge the age of participation from two places."

"The first method is to identify the age of ginseng from stems and leaves."

"The stems and leaves of the aboveground part of ginseng are renewed once a year. For the first time, there is only a small petiole-shaped stem with three leaves on the top, commonly known as three flowers; in the second year, a complete compound leaf will grow from the end of the stem, commonly known as five leaves. Or slap palm; in the third year, two compound leaves will appear at the end of the stem, commonly known as Erhuangzi; in the fourth year, there will be three compound leaves at the end of the stem, commonly known as Dengtaizi; in the fifth year, there will be four compound leaves at the end of the stem, commonly known as Sipinye; In the sixth year, there will be five or six compound leaves at the end of the stem, commonly known as five-pin leaves or six-pin leaves."

"At this time, even if the above-ground part of ginseng is fully developed, the stems and leaves will not increase in the next few decades or hundreds of years."

Pointing the camera at the withered yellow plants on the ground again, Zhou Chen sneered, "This ginseng tree has six compound leaves, and it must be at least six years old. The friend who offered 2 just now, are you sure you didn't cheat me?"

As soon as these words came out, the live broadcast room immediately exploded.

"Holy shit, boss, this level of knowledge is invincible."

"It turns out that ginseng still has so many ways."

"He keeps saying that he is a die-hard fan, but he still cheats the boss, looking for shit."

"Such iron fans, don't worry about it."

While everyone admired Zhou Chen, they also condemned the fan just now.

"Li Si from Baihuitang gave Zhou Chen 5 super rockets, and left a message saying: The old university is rich in five cars, knowledgeable about the past and the present, I admire it, my younger brother is a cheap businessman, everyone, please let it go, please let it go."

Zhou Chen's fans are not small-minded people, and naturally they won't pursue it endlessly when they see the other party rewarding and admitting their mistakes.

"Boss, then we can only judge the participation age of 6 years?"

Zhou Chen was grilling meat when a barrage suddenly attracted him.

"Just now I saw someone asking how to judge the age of ginseng over 6 years old. This is the second method to identify the age of ginseng."

"The second method is to identify the age of ginseng from the root."

"The stems and leaves of ginseng more than six years old can no longer be accurately identified. At this time, the ginseng root must be used to judge the age of the ginseng."

"Ginseng roots are human-shaped, mainly including reed heads, door dings, tap roots, lateral roots, fibrous roots, etc. The reed heads, skin color, and texture of ginseng roots can be used as the basis for identifying reference age."

"So is there a relatively accurate way to judge?"

"The answer is yes."

"The identification of ginseng's age is based on the number of reed bowls. The reed bowls are the scars left by the annual regeneration of ginseng stems and leaves on the ground. On the surface, a few reed bowls can be considered to be several years old."

"But there are no absolutes in the world. If the ginseng bowl is too old, it will disappear or not be obvious. At this time, it is necessary to rely on experience and various details to identify the age of the ginseng."

"As far as I know, the popular ginseng king at that time, because of its long growth period, is the ginseng age identified by modern technology."

Take off the barbecue, Zhou Chen is ready to serve dinner.

Seeing that people kept asking about King Shen's situation in the live broadcast room, Zhou Chen had no choice but to put down the barbecue and continue talking.

"Ginseng has a standard of 'seven ounces is ginseng, eight ounces is treasure'. The heaviest wild ginseng recorded in my country weighs 511 grams. Experts have identified this ginseng with a growth life of more than 200 years, and is known as the king of ginseng."

"It's a pity that this ginseng tree was not auctioned at that time, so the price is unknown."

"However, in 2017, the auction price of a 260-gram fresh wild ginseng in Wuzhen was as high as 900 million yuan, which was also a sensation."

Zhou Chen's narration made everyone look forward to this wild ginseng.

now.

It's getting dark, and it's not realistic to build a shelter now.

Zhou Chen can only sleep in the wilderness tonight.

There is no wind here, and two bonfires plus a few wolf skins for warmth will not make him suffer too much this night.
