Invincible Witch Doctor King

Chapter 15 Stuffed with wire?

Zhao Tian frowned.

I found something wrong with the wild ginseng in front of me. It was because I collected herbs for many years, and I also dealt with many medicinal materials when I was with Master Jiu. I was very sensitive to weight over the years. I only discovered it after Wang Shi weighed it. .

When I got started just now, I didn't find anything wrong with the ginseng. If I want to find out the reason for the weight of the ginseng, it's not that simple.

Moisture?

This is the most likely thing.

What Song Ding said just now is correct. Ginseng, especially wild ginseng, is usually processed by natural air-drying, so that if it does not get wet, the water will be lost very slowly. The ginseng in front of me is actually not small. It is possible to reach a weight of more than 300 grams.

But is this really the reason?

Zhao Tian looked at the wild ginseng on the table with some doubts. When he got started just now, he found that the ginseng was actually very dry, at least on the surface.

It is a little unreasonable to say that it is heavy because of the water in the ginseng, but the question is if it is not for this reason, then what is the reason?
"It's not that there is no reason why the ginseng is too heavy, but it seems that this ginseng is not the case."

Zhao Tian muttered in a low voice, frowning tightly.

"Zhao Tian, ​​what reason did you think of?"

Xie Manting was sitting next to her. She heard Zhao Tian's words at the first moment, and thought that Zhao Tian had discovered something.

"How is it possible? This ginseng is like this because of too much water."

Song Guo stared, he didn't want Zhao Tian to show off.

Zhao Tian shook his head and said, "It's not that I didn't think of the reason, but it seems that there is no evidence for this."

Zhao Tian did think of a possibility, but he didn't say it because he couldn't find any evidence.

"impossible!"

Song Guo cried out loudly.

"Zhao Tian, ​​what did you think of? Tell me and listen."

Song Shi?

Wang Shi wouldn't take such a young man seriously at all, and now he was very curious about what Zhao Tian was thinking.

Song Ding said that the ginseng in front of him was heavy because it still had moisture. He didn't quite believe it. He had held that ginseng in his hand for a long time before, and even pinched it a little when Xie Xian didn't care. , from the hard feel, it should not be possible to have a lot of moisture.

Therefore, this parameter should not be due to moisture, but other reasons.

"Yes, Zhao Tian, ​​tell me what you think."

Xie Xian also wants to hear Zhao Tian's opinion, experience and vision?Zhao Tian might not be as good as himself, but that didn't mean he couldn't find the problem.

"This one……"

Zhao Tian hesitated for a moment, and said, "I once heard Master Jiu talk about a way..."

"Jiuye? What is the origin of this Jiuye? Can what he said be accurate?"

Seeing that Wang Shi, especially Xie Xian, attached great importance to Zhao Tian, ​​Song Guo's heart was on fire again. This was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Hmph! Then what are you!"

Zhao Tian glared at Song Guo fiercely, with fire in his eyes. Song Guo could understand Zhao Tian targeting him, but he dared to speak ill of Lord Jiu?Zhao Tian would never allow such a thing to happen - if Song Guo dared to speak ill of Master Jiu again, he would not mind beating him up severely.

"I……"

Song Guo was taken aback, Zhao Tian was like a leopard that wanted to eat people.

"Hmph! Be careful what you say."

Zhao Tian gave Song Guo a cold look, "Why don't you be beaten up after going out!"

"You...you...what did you say..."

Song Guo became angry from embarrassment, he knew that the way he was afraid before fell into Xie Manting's eyes.

"Hmph! Boy! I mean, if you talk like that again, be careful that you will be beaten by me when you go out!"

Zhao Tian didn't give Zhao Tian any face.

"I……"

Song Guo was taken aback again, although he could still feel Zhao Tian's anger through Xie Manting, he shrank his neck and swallowed back the cruel words he wanted to say.

"Boy, what do you want to do?"

Song Ding slapped the table hard with a "bang".

Song Guo is interested in Xie Manting, of course he can see that, to be honest, he very much hopes to see this, and Xie Xian is an old friend for many years, he is very familiar with the situation of Xie's family.

The Xie family started the business of purchasing medicinal materials several generations ago, but they have been doing small things until five years ago. However, the business has grown bigger and bigger, and now it is even worse. The medicinal material business under Wushan is basically Let the Xie family monopolize it.

Song Ding was very curious about this point. After some inquiries, he discovered that since five years ago, the Xie family has actually been headed by Xie Manting. .

After knowing this, he was thinking of an idea: if his grandson could marry Xie Manting home, wouldn't that mean marrying a God of Wealth home?
This is actually an important reason why he brought Song Guo to Xie's family before.

What he didn't expect was that Xie Manting didn't have much interest in his grandson, but he was nice to this kid named Zhao Tian in front of him.

This is also the fundamental reason why Song Guo didn't make a sound when he made things difficult for Zhao Tian.

Now seeing Song Guo being bullied by Zhao Tian, ​​how could he stand it?
"Hehehe."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xie Xian smiled and waved his hand, "Old man Song, this is a matter for young people, we old An guys don't need to get involved, by the way, Zhao Tian, ​​let's talk about this ginseng thing, What do you think is the reason for this weight? It seems that you don’t think it’s because of water?”

"Yo, then I want to see what this kid can say."

Song Ding sneered, Shen he looked carefully just now, there was no problem at all, what can a young man like Zhao Tian say?

He has already decided that he will never give Zhao Tian face when he stays here, and he must teach him a lesson after he tells the reason.

Zhao Tian looked at Song Ding, he was not afraid at all.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I thought of a possibility. It's what I just said. I once heard something from Master Jiu."

Xie Xian's face became serious, Master Jiu knew that although he was only a quack doctor, he had been practicing medicine at the foot of Wushan Mountain for many years. , This is a very difficult thing in the first place, and there is nothing to say about medical ethics, because this is a great benefit to Wushan people who are short of medical care.

Not to mention that Master Jiu is not an ordinary person, at least in the past 30 to [-] years, he has never heard of a disease that Master Jiu cannot cure.In his opinion, Master Jiu is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface.

"You said."

Xie Xian slightly raised his hand to let Zhao Tian continue to speak.

"Jiu Ye said that when he was young, he used to practice medicine everywhere, and he heard about such a thing, someone stuffed wire into cordyceps sinensis."

Wang Shi's heart skipped a beat.

Cordyceps, also known as Cordyceps.It only grows on the plateau at an altitude of nearly 4000 meters. Every summer when the ice and snow melt, countless bat moths will appear on the grassland. Insects burrow into moist and loose soil and grow. At this time, once they encounter a fungal spore called Cordyceps fungus, these fungal spores will penetrate into the insect body, absorb its nutrients, germinate hyphae, and grow out. It is Cordyceps sinensis. People who don’t understand it often think that things like Cordyceps are insects in winter and grasses in summer.

Cordyceps sinensis is a very valuable and nourishing medicinal material. Some people even think that its nutritional content is higher than that of ginseng. Since it can be used as medicine, it can also be eaten directly, and its nutritional value is very high.Its main function can enhance the body's immunity, nourish the lungs and kidneys, and have obvious inhibitory effects on lung cancer and liver cancer.At the same time, it can also be used to treat asthma, tuberculosis, hemoptysis, night sweats, kidney deficiency, waist and knee pain, impotence and nocturnal emission, especially for the reduction of red blood cells after chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Because it is very expensive, its price is higher than that of gold, and its growth environment is relatively special, and its quantity is not large, so counterfeiting will naturally appear.

The most common way is to stuff wire into Cordyceps sinensis, because this thing is also calculated in terms of grams.

"This... is very likely."

Wang Shi stared at the wild ginseng on the table, his face thoughtful.

Since Cordyceps sinensis can be faked in this way, so can wild ginseng, and wild ginseng is much larger than Cordyceps sinensis, which is easier in this respect.

"Hmph! Possibly? There is nothing impossible in this world! But it's not Yuyu? I don't think so!"

Song Ding sneered, and continued: "Put wires in? Do you think this can be done casually? You must know that once you use this method, it will leave a hole on the surface of the wild ginseng. You are here. Have you found a hole on the surface?"

Wang Shi frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Of course it's not easy, but it's not impossible. In fact, it's not easy to find those cordyceps stuffed with wire. I've met people like this before. When the Cordyceps sinensis is just picked and it is still wet, I will stuff the tiny iron wires in, as long as the iron wires are very small, and I choose the place where the Cordyceps sinensis has grains, the cuts will be very small after air drying, and basically cannot be found.”

"The individual of ginseng is larger, and at the same time, there are more and more obvious horizontal stripes, especially where there are branches. If it is handled well, there is no way to find it."

Xie Xian nodded lightly, Wang Shi's statement is true, the mouth is not too difficult for a master, so did the wild ginseng in front of him use such a method?
