Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1109, Missing news

"One thousand taels of silver?"

Hearing Li Lin's words, Chen Feng and the others couldn't help but slightly widened their eyes.

Originally, I thought it would be good for a plant to sell for a few taels of silver, but who knew that this so-called century-old ginseng could be worth thousands of taels of silver.

Isn't this the rhythm to send out?

"Old Li, don't lie to me."

Chen Feng said in disbelief.

"What did I lie to you about?"

"Ginseng is a precious medicinal material, most suitable for invigorating Qi. The older the ginseng, the more expensive it is. If it is an ordinary-year ginseng, it can usually be sold for a few taels of silver a catty after drying."

"But these two ginsengs are [-]-year-old ginseng, so you can't sell them by the catty, you have to sell them one by one. Many rich and powerful people will rely on this century-old ginseng when they are about to die. Woolen cloth."

Li Lin suddenly said a little angrily: "If these two ginseng plants are in good condition, I can buy them for one thousand taels of silver."

"However, if your roots are damaged, you will lose your ginseng energy. I can only offer you five hundred taels of silver per plant."

"Old Li~ You're too dark, you just damaged some roots, and it's not much less. It's too unreasonable for you to only pay half the price."

When Chen Feng heard this, he couldn't help but put away his ginseng.

"You don't understand, this ginseng must be in good condition, especially if the roots cannot be damaged to be valuable. If the roots are damaged, the ginseng will lose its energy and cannot be kept for a long time."

"As far as I know, there are special ginseng diggers in Liaodong and the vassal state of North Korea in the Ming Dynasty. They are very careful and use special tools to dig out little by little without damaging a hair. "

"Then hang it up with a red thread, slowly dry it naturally, and then wrap it properly, so that the ginseng is in good condition."

"You ginseng, you can tell at a glance that you must have pulled it out with your own hands. Not only the roots are severely damaged, but look at the place below, some of the main roots have been damaged."

"It's really a pity. Such ginseng can only be used as soon as possible, so as not to damage the ginseng."

"I'll give you five hundred taels of silver, which is already a very high price. If I can't sell it, I can only eat it myself."

Li Lin shook his head helplessly, and popularized the knowledge about ginseng to Chen Feng and others.

"Is there still a whisker, a whisker to dig?"

When Chen Feng heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. There are a lot of ginseng, and if he digs one by one, he can't dig out a few in a day. It will be the year of the monkey.

"Of course, otherwise you would think it was like pulling a carrot."

"You don't even know how precious this thing is."

Li Lin nodded as a matter of course, and then carefully studied the ginseng in his hand again.

"What a pity, what a pity~"

"Tsk tsk, this ginseng is full of energy. Just smelling it makes people feel refreshed. It is indeed a century-old ginseng."

"I'll give you some more, six hundred taels of silver per plant, so be quick."

"That is to say, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Penglai City should be better sold."

"As many plants as you find, quickly take them out."

Hearing Li Lin's words, Chen Feng gave Peng Chao and Chen Qidu his subordinates a look, and the other party immediately understood, and quickly took out a small pack of ginseng.

"My darling, you have found a ginseng nest. How many ginsengs have you dug up?"

Seeing the small pack of ginseng that Peng Chao and Chen Qi took out, Li Lin couldn't help shouting out.

Although this small packet of ginseng is a small packet, there are hundreds of ginseng plants.

Chen Feng has a wealth of experience in expeditions, so he naturally knows the truth of hiding. Although he brought back more than [-] ginseng plants this time, he didn't intend to release them all at once.

It was prepared from the beginning, separated the ginseng, put two plants in the bosom, and then carried some in a small bag, most of the ginseng was packed tightly in a big bag, and it would never give people saw.

"That is to say, I found this bit of ginseng. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to pass this year. The bonuses and salaries of the team members have been announced."

Chen Feng said with a wry smile.

"Tsk tsk, they are all good ginseng from last year."

"Basically, there are ginsengs that have been around for a hundred years. You must have found out the ancestors of ginseng."

"It's a pity~it's a pity~"

"These ginsengs fell into the hands of you people. What a waste. These ginsengs must have been picked up by you as carrots."

"Look, the roots are all broken, and these are probably the ginsengs you cut off directly, and there are still ginsengs that you broke into two pieces."

"A violent waste, a violent waste!"

While watching carefully, Li Lin couldn't help shaking his head.

What kind of good ginseng was mined by them is simply horrible.

The roots were cut off with scissors, and the ginseng was broken into two pieces. It was like pulling out the ginseng as a carrot.

"Cough cough~"

Chen Feng and the others couldn't help touching their foreheads immediately.

To be honest, they really pulled out these ginseng as radishes, especially later, they didn't care that much at all.

Ginseng has a lot of roots, very dense, and there are many humus layers in the place where it grows. It is not good to carry soil, so quickly cut off the roots with scissors and bring them back.

"Old Li, help me figure out how much money you can pay for these ginseng."

Chen Feng looked at Li Lin and said.

"I want to classify carefully. There is a big difference between the price of century-old ginseng and ordinary ginseng. The price of century-old ginseng will be the price I just said. One plant will give you the price of six hundred taels of silver."

"As for ordinary ginseng, it has to be weighed by the catty."

Li Lin rolled his small eyes and said with a smile.

"Old Lin, you are not being kind. Although there are some ginsengs that are not century-old, they are at least decades old. If you weigh them by the catty, it is too dark."

When Chen Feng heard it, he thought about it carefully, and immediately said with a smile.

"Chen Feng, we are old friends, I won't lie to you."

"This ginseng, don't look at at least a few years of difference, but a century-old ginseng is a century-old ginseng, and ordinary ginseng is ordinary ginseng, and the value varies greatly."

"The price I will give you must be the highest. Trust me, I won't lie to you."

Li Lin said very sincerely, but of course he wasn't telling the truth. Businessmen, businessmen, are all businessmen, and if they finally have a big deal, they naturally want to make a lot of money.

"Okay, you look at it."

Chen Feng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

I really need money now, and it's just more than a hundred ginseng plants, it doesn't matter, he still has more than [-] ginseng plants in his hand, this is the big head.

He wasn't going to sell it to Li Lin, but he was going to take it to Penglai City and sell it to Daming Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. Daming Ocean Trading Co. had always done business fairly.

What the expedition team likes most is doing business with the Daming Ocean Trading Company. Whether it is gold, silver, or buying and selling gold or silver mines, they all like to go to the Daming Ocean Trading Company.

"Cheerful~"

When Li Lin heard this, he immediately became happy.

He began to carefully count the more than one hundred ginseng plants in front of him.

"Chen Feng, I've already picked out more than a hundred ginseng plants. These fifty ginseng plants are all century-old, and each plant costs six hundred taels of silver. The total is thirty thousand taels of silver."

"The rest here are ordinary ginseng, and they haven't been dried yet, so I can only give you five taels of silver per plant, so let's count it to two hundred taels of silver."

"The total is [-] taels of silver."

Li Lin made up his mind and said.

"This difference is too big~"

"One hundred-year-old ginseng is worth six hundred taels of silver, but the pile of ordinary ginseng is not worth as much as this one?"

Chen Feng slightly widened his eyes and said.

"I've told you that these are century-old ginsengs. Centuries-old ginseng is sold by the plant, and these ordinary ginseng are sold by the catty. Naturally, the prices vary greatly."

Li Lin nodded and said.

"Okay, [-] taels of silver, this year is not bad, at least it won't be a year of busy work for nothing."

After thinking about it, Chen Feng nodded and agreed, pretending to be somewhat satisfied.

"Earning more than [-] taels of silver a year, what is there to be dissatisfied with? It is more profitable than mining gold."

"You may not make money wherever you search for gold for a year."

Li Lin shook his head when he heard it, and then asked tentatively, "Chen Feng, where did you find these ginseng?"

"I found out how many ginsengs there were in a short time, and even the nests of ginseng were picked up."

"I also found it by accident. I don't even remember the place."

When Chen Feng heard this, he immediately became vigilant, and shook his head with a smile.

"Old Fox~"

Li Lin couldn't help cursing in his heart. He was very clear in his heart. He could find more than a hundred ginseng plants, which meant that there must be ginseng in the local area.

This ginseng is expensive, if you really find a place that produces ginseng, it will be distributed in the future.

It's just a pity that this Chen Feng refused to reveal even a little bit of wind.

"If you don't disclose it, you think I can't find it?"

"Hum~"

"I also set up an expedition team to go out, I don't believe I can't find it."

Li Lin already had a plan in his heart, this Chen Feng brought back so much ginseng once he went out, and made tens of thousands of taels of silver at once, which made Li Lin couldn't help but feel slightly jealous.

Although this ginseng has been in my hands, I can earn a lot of money, but if I can find the origin of the ginseng, then I will really make a fortune in the future.

"I've been out for more than two months. After calculating the distance and combining the places he's been to in the past, I don't believe I can't find him."

Li Lin and Chen Feng had their own love affair with each other, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't reveal it lightly, and even didn't want people to know the news.

But soon, Chen Feng's expedition team discovered ginseng, and the news that it sold more than [-] taels of silver at one time also disappeared. Everyone in Beijing Town knew it all at once, and it even spread to Penglai City very quickly. went.
