Chapter 144 Chapter 140
Du Juan has participated in several competitions before, and he knows some things during the competition very well.After entering the trading market, he acted as a guide and introduced Ling Zikai in detail.

According to the practice of the previous sessions, during the contest of participating kings, a trade fair of participating products was also held at the same time.

At the beginning, because of the competition period, it attracted ginseng dealers from all over the country and a large number of tourists.Some local ginseng farmers and mountain hunters set up stalls around the museum to sell ginseng.The buyers are mainly those tourists who take a few sticks of ginseng back after the visit.Some ginseng dealers will buy some good ginseng seedlings after seeing them.

Because most of the ginseng seedlings are self-produced and sold, the price is relatively much cheaper than those sold in the market, and the business on these stalls is very hot.

Gradually, more and more people came to sell ginseng at the street stalls; correspondingly, the number of customers who came to buy ginseng was also increasing, which not only affected the traffic, but also affected the image of the competition.

The organizing committee of the competition gathered these street vendors in an empty space to the west of the museum and set up a trading market.

With the increase in popularity, over time, this flea market turned out to be an important part of the competition.

The market is formed by voluntary non-governmental organizations. Buyers and sellers come from all over the world, and their eyes are mixed.

For example, sell five-year-old ginseng as ten-year-old ginseng, or sell ordinary round ginseng as under-forest ginseng, and under-forest ginseng for wild mountain ginseng.

Not only those tourists will be deceived, but even those dealers who often deal with ginseng will be misled.

Because it belongs to free trade, often after you find out that you bought a fake, you will not be able to find the owner of the goods, and you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Although people are deceived every year, they can’t stand the low price, even if some people with certain experience and eyesight in ginseng identification will find some high-quality ginseng at a variety of stalls, so as to sell them at a low price. price to buy.

It is said that in previous years, someone bought a hundred-year-old wild ginseng at a price of tens of yuan.

After the news spread, more and more people wanted to get lucky in the market and search for good goods.

Human psychology is like this, just like buying a lottery ticket, knowing that the chance of winning the jackpot is very small, but always fantasizing that you can be the lucky one among thousands of people.

Because it was still early, there were not many people in the market.Ling Zikai and the others walked and watched along the long row of stalls in the market.

I saw that the ginseng varieties sold on those stalls are really mixed, covering almost all ginseng varieties.

Those sold ginseng can be roughly divided into two categories: finished dried ginseng and fresh ginseng.

Generally speaking, those dried ginsengs that have been processed will have registered trademarks, and there are also instructions on the package, which clearly indicate the category of ginseng, origin, etc. It is not much different from the ginseng sold in pharmacies in shopping malls, and the price gap is not too big. , so the people who pay attention are mainly those tourists, who have discounts and don't have to worry about buying fake products.

For those who often deal with ginseng, those who are interested are still those fresh ginseng.Their main purpose is not to purchase, but to exercise their eyesight with a somewhat entertaining mentality.

In common people's cognition, in terms of the environment in which ginseng grows, it can be divided into wild ginseng, forest ginseng, Yishan ginseng, garden ginseng, etc., but few people know that there are other types of ginseng besides these types. The other two kinds of ginseng are "chibotan ginseng" and "lying goods".

The so-called "chibotan ginseng" refers to some old ginseng fields or ginseng gardens that have been planted for some years and then abandoned.However, after excavation in these places, there will always be missing ginseng.

These ginsengs grow in the natural environment and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, so the effective ingredients and nutrients are relatively increased.

If it has been grown for a long time, it is difficult to distinguish it from under-forest ginseng in terms of shape and quality, and some are even comparable to wild ginseng, but the real value is worse.

It's just that except for the person who digs the ginseng himself, it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish whether it is ginseng under the forest or bottom ginseng.

Those cunning ginseng customers often sell ginseng at the bottom of the pond as understory ginseng.

Another kind of "squatting goods" refers to "Yishan ginseng".

That is to say, mountain farmers found wild ginseng seedlings when they released the mountain. Due to their weight and young age, they were not suitable for goods, so they dug them out and transplanted them to the mountain forest near their homes, so that they could be easily guarded and allowed to grow naturally.

Although its body is wild ginseng, after transplanting, the growth environment has been forcibly changed, correspondingly speaking, its quality has also been affected.It is difficult to compare with the normal growing wild ginseng.

If you buy this kind of ginseng called "Shanyi" at the price of wild ginseng and feel a little wronged, then you will know what you will know when you buy another kind of ginseng called "Jiayi" It's called "pit people".

With the continuous development of artificial cultivation of ginseng, some people transplant all kinds of under-forest ginseng or all kinds of ginseng that have grown in the shed for a long time, which are similar to wild ginseng, to the wild forest without watering or fertilizing. Let it grow naturally in the wild.

And replant every three years, pick out the bad ginseng with scars, rust, broken heads and broken legs, and replant the good ginseng on the ground. After growing for ten or more decades, dig out When it comes out and sells it as wild ginseng, this kind of ginseng can be regarded as a real lie.

Because the price of wild ginseng is more than [-] yuan, if you really buy it, you will lose a lot.Therefore, in this ginseng trading market, there are very few wild ginseng, and even if it is sold, few people will buy it, unless it is certified by the ginseng identification institute and issued a coded certificate that can be checked at any time. , people dare to buy.

After hearing Du Juan's introduction, knowing that there is no wild ginseng in this market, Ling Zikai's interest suddenly became much less. After wandering around for a while, he wanted to leave.

At this moment, Su Guoer who was next to him suddenly said, "Look, that kid bought carrots as ginseng."

They followed Su Guoer's directions, and they saw a dozen or so meters in front of them, a stall made of a black plastic sheet by a [-] or [-]-year-old child.On the plastic sheet was a plant that was twice the size of a normal carrot and shaped like a ginseng. It was covered with black soil. If you didn't look closely, you might think it was a carrot. .

"I'm buying ginseng. Authentic wild ginseng. If you want it, come and buy it! It only costs 1000 yuan a piece."

The little boy stood behind his booth and yelled loudly.

But no matter how he yelled, the passers-by who passed by him didn't even stop after seeing the ginseng on the plastic sheet, and continued to walk forward.

Obviously, everyone didn't take his yelling seriously, let alone take that carrot as ginseng.

Du Juan laughed and said, "This little boy is naughty enough. He pulled a carrot from the ground and brought it to the market to make trouble."

Zhang Jun joked to Su Guoer: "Su Guoer, I heard that a few years ago someone bought a wild ginseng worth a million yuan for only 50 yuan. Would you like to try your luck? Maybe if you buy the real thing, 1000 yuan will become 1000 million!"

"Okay, as long as you pay, Brother Zhang, I'll buy it, and I can make a plate of cold carrot shreds when I take it home!"

While joking, several people had already walked up to the little boy.

The little boy shouted at them: "Several brothers, do you want wild ginseng? I can give it to you at a cheaper price, just 500 yuan!"

Perhaps because no one wanted it for most of the day, the little boy was a little disappointed, so he cut the price by half.

Su Guoer said: "I said kid, don't fool people here, you'd better take this carrot home as soon as possible, let your mother fry it into a vegetable and eat it!"

"What are you talking about? I dug this from a cave on the mountain behind my house. It's authentic wild ginseng. How can you say it's a carrot!" the little boy argued.

"Are you still saying it's not a carrot? If it's wild ginseng, why would you sell it for 500 yuan? I—"

Du Juan didn't wait for Su Guoer to finish, and interrupted him: "Okay, I'm such an adult, I'm ashamed to quarrel with a child. Let's go!"

At this moment, Ling Zikai felt the ancestral energy in his body move without warning, like a sleeping kitten who suddenly smelled fishy smell and suddenly woke up.
