Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 34

After collecting some rhizomes of chamaejasma, Sun Xin took Hu Sanniang to continue to Dengyun Mountain.

In the following time, he discovered two kinds of plants on the mountain-climbing, the peppery grass and the heart-broken grass. Glad, this thing can be used to spray and control wheat rust together with onion, ginger and garlic.

There are very limited means of prevention and treatment for this troublesome fungal infection. In addition to active prevention, it is also very good to have such a drug. Otherwise, the cost will be much higher if you just buy onion and ginger water to prevent and treat it.

Sun Xin collected some of these plants that already grew on Dengyun Mountain, carefully packed them and prepared to take them back to the farm for trial planting.

Walking and walking, the two of them had already reached the high place of Dengyun Mountain. The weather was entering autumn, and the mountain was somewhat cold, and the moss under their feet made the mountain road very slippery. At first, they walked along the path of woodcutters and herbal gatherers. Later, there was no road on the mountain, so Sun Xin had to lead Hu Sanniang all the way through the woods and weeds.

The two walked very slowly, turned around a mountain, and when they reached the edge of a cliff, Sun Xin stopped suddenly.

He looked at the direction of the rock wall on one side and maintained such a climbing posture, pointed to it and said: "I'll go there and have a look."

Hu Sanniang stood there in a daze, and saw that the place where Sun Xin crawled over was a sandy field by the edge of a cliff, and there was still a large clump of weeds growing on the sandy field, and these grasses were no different in her eyes. .

Hu Sanniang frowned and watched Sun Xin struggling to touch the sandy ground. The road under her feet was very slippery, and she would fall down the mountain if she was not careful. Hu Sanniang was very worried.

Even if you want to collect medicine, there is no need to work so hard, what is it for? If you fall, who can accompany such a good man as yourself?
Hu Sanniang was about to speak, but she saw that Sun Xin had crawled to the edge of the sandy ground, squatted down carefully, and carefully looked at the plant in front of her.

Seeing his cherished appearance, Hu Sanniang finally shut up secretly. Sun Xin himself is a good doctor, and he took a fancy to a medicinal herb, probably because of his own reasons, and she didn't want to interfere more.

At this time, Sun Xin stared at the plant, full of surprise.

Even with his superficial knowledge of medicinal materials, he can recognize this thing, this is ginseng!Or wild ginseng!

In the previous life, digging up such a wild ginseng was enough to make a small fortune, but in this life, although Sun Xin also heard that ginseng was not very valuable before the Ming Dynasty, Sun Xin clearly remembered that One time when I went to the pharmacy to get herbs for tiger penis wine, I saw a very precious dried ginseng placed on the top of the counter in the pharmacy, with the corner of the red silk bag exposed as a treasure of the store. let it go.

I don’t know if it’s because of the change in the world background or because people in the Song Dynasty also praised ginseng as a medicine, but just looking at the way that ginseng was treated, Sun Xin can also guess that the value of wild ginseng is also very high in this era. .

Sun Xin turned to Hu Sanniang and asked, "Have you heard of ginseng?"

"Ginseng?" Hu Sanniang was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes widened, "Which one do you think is ginseng?"

Seeing her appearance, Sun Xin knew that his guess was not bad.

"Is this thing worth money?"

"Of course it's valuable!" Hu Sanniang exclaimed in surprise, "My father's room has a 500-year-old wild ginseng as thick as two fingers. It was bought from the Kingdom of Jin, but it cost 170 taels of silver!"

Sun News said that he would start digging that wild ginseng immediately.

Hu Sanniang looked down and couldn't stand still: "I didn't expect to dig ginseng up the mountain this time. Do you want me to come up and help?"

"No, don't jump! Watch out for your feet." Sun Xin turned around and instructed, and gently used his fingers to scrape away the soil under the wild ginseng, cleaning up every root system of it, and soon a plant was complete. The ginseng was held by Sun Xin in his hand, and he saw that the ginseng beard was very complete, the long root system was more than 50 centimeters long, and the main part of the ginseng was as thick as a little finger.

Sun Xin put the ginseng plant in his arms, and then carefully climbed down from the edge of the cliff.

Back to Hu Sanniang, Hu Sanniang hurriedly asked Sun Xin to show her the ginseng, and after taking a look, she said pleasantly, "It's really ginseng!"

Sun Xin asked directly: "What are you looking for when you sell ginseng these days?"

"Of course it depends on the size."

"What about the others? Like shape?"

Hu Sanniang said strangely: "Look at what that one is doing. I remember that when Dad bought ginseng, he only asked about the weight and year, and didn't care about anything else."

She said happily: "This ginseng is not small. We can sell it in a pharmacy in Dengzhou when we take it back! At least it can be sold for dozens of taels!"

Sun Xin was very happy, and shook his head not to hide it from her: "I don't plan to sell this ginseng at this time, I will take it back and plant it."

"Plant? Dig from the mountain and take it home to plant?"

According to Sun Xin's memory, ginseng artificial planting technology should have appeared in the Song Dynasty, but Hu Sanniang's reaction should not have spread to Dengzhou, so Hu Sanniang and the others judge the value of ginseng based on the weight of ginseng. Calculation only.

In later generations, because the artificial planting technology has been developed enough, in order to distinguish artificially planted garden ginseng, artificially sown under-forest ginseng, wild ginseng transplanted back to artificial environment, natural wild ginseng and other ginseng grown in different environments There is already a set of very complicated standards on the market, such as looking at the eyes, skin, and reed head, etc., but since Hu Sanniang said that people these days don't have this awareness at all, then there is too much room for Sun Xin to operate.

Although there were not many ginseng species in the area where Sun Xin lived in the previous life, the Shizhu ginseng produced in the province across the sea from the local area is famous all over the world. Sun Xinguang has been there many times to give reports on business trips. I don’t know where it is. The way to grow ginseng?

Sun Xin was in a good mood, and said, "I'll take this ginseng back and plant it well, and then sell it, and the price will probably not be lower than the ginseng in your father's room."

"Can it grow so big? But how many years will it take to grow?"

Sun Xin raised a finger and shook it.

"ten years?"

"One year is enough!"

Hu Sanniang's eyes widened, "Can you grow this ginseng plant to such a large size in one year? My father's ginseng is 500 years old!"

Sun Xin laughed out loud. The planting of ginseng has already been industrialized in later generations, and the related research is extremely mature. The 500-year life of what Hu Taigong bought is probably a gimmick.

In fact, ginseng has the most nutrients in the sixth year of planting. If it does not die, the roots of ginseng will only become more and more lignified. Not to mention whether ginseng can grow to 500 years, if it really grows to 500 years At that time, ginseng was just a piece of wood without any nutrients.

And it is not difficult to grow to the size of two fingers. The garden ginseng of later generations will be the size of a small radish after five years. This is the same as ginseng. Doubling is really not a problem.
