As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 164 Ginseng
Jiang Ran was suspicious, but walked over honestly.

After splitting the weeds, several fierce snakes sprang out from the grass. With a wave of Jiang Ran's hand, the heads of several poisonous snakes were cut off by ice blades. The people behind quickly took the gift from the lord into their hands, happily Think of eating delicious snake soup.

It is said that the more precious the medicinal material, the more it will be guarded by poisonous snakes and beasts. Jiang Ran has the bottom line in her heart, but when she gets closer to the group of red dots and takes a closer look, she is still shocked.

Although I had money in my previous life, some things were not just something I could get with money.

Of course, it is not difficult for Jiang Ran to want two or three wild ginsengs that are more than ten years old, but it is impossible to see a piece of wild ginseng at once like now.

Although there are many magical things in this world, as a Chinese, my admiration and love for ginseng is deeply rooted in my bones.

"You step lightly, don't step on these plants."

The prey was put into the empty ring by Jiang Ran, so everyone was very relaxed. Jiang Ran gave instructions to the people below, and then waved his hand to signal them all to come up.

Everyone was confused, "My lord?"

Teaching them how to fish is worse than teaching them how to fish. Jiang Ran plans to teach them how to identify and dig ginseng, "This plant is called ginseng, and it is a very precious medicinal material. It is said to have a great tonic effect on the human body, and besides, selling this is very profitable.”

Hearing that it was very profitable, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all gathered around.

The two brothers, Jia Han and Jia Bing, looked at each other. They had stayed in Xiaoliangshan for a long time, and they were tired of seeing the scenery of the little red dot, but they didn't know how useful it was.

Jiang Ran set his sights on a ginseng with the largest and brightest seeds and the thickest stem.

Ginseng flower - that is, ginseng seeds.

Jiang Ran first cut off the stem with ginseng seeds, and then hung the stem on a tree. The red ginseng seeds fluttered in the wind, very beautiful.

This is mainly to allow the ginseng seeds to mature and drop naturally, and maybe new ginseng can be harvested in the future.

After that, Jiang Ran carefully dug up a layer of soil on the surface, and when he saw a head of ginseng, he knew that this ginseng was definitely a big one.

In fact, digging ginseng is very particular. For example, the "Fangshan" people in the Jingbo mountain area in the previous life usually form a gang. When picking ginseng, when someone finds ginseng, they will immediately shout: "stick!"

And the partners immediately responded: "Quickly!"

When picking ginseng, they will first tie the ginseng stems with a red wire tied with copper wires at both ends, and then use tools to dig down.

There are elements of theology in these notes, but they also have a certain scientific basis, so I won’t say much here.

The others gathered around and studied earnestly. Jiang Ran first took out a piece of fine cloth, locked the ginseng, and then only picked the important ones and said: "Be careful when digging the ginseng, and don't hurt any roots of the ginseng, otherwise the value will be great." discount."

Digging ginseng is a meticulous job, because you can't imagine what kind of trend the wildly growing small roots of ginseng will be.

A ginseng may need to be dug for several hours or even a day or two. Jiang Ran took a thin wooden stick and sharpened the front part, and then picked up the soil little by little.

Even though Jiang Ran had good eyesight and steady hands, she still dug this ginseng for a long time.

Digging ginseng is quite boring, but the onlookers don't think it, only the fat baby in the ground is very attractive.

After all, according to the lord, it can make a lot of money!
Right now, they were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe, they just stared at it, and every time the ginseng came out, everyone jumped with joy.

Jiahan shrugged his nose, and a strong medicinal fragrance came from the exposed ginseng and rushed straight to his forehead.

"It seems to be a really good thing!" They had picked ginseng flowers and played with them before, so why didn't they find this thing underground.

Sweat dripped and kicked up tiny dust. This ginseng was bigger than Jiang Ran imagined, and its roots were extremely deep.

Usually digging ginseng is about three feet deep, but Jiang Ran forced himself to dig down five or six feet, and he could stand a person, and finally lifted the ginseng tree out.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!" These people didn't know what ginseng was before, but they were genuinely shocked when this big ginseng was carried out intact.

Ginseng has a sweet smell. The main body is three inches long and one inch thick.
She had heard that the heaviest ginseng unearthed weighed a little over twelve taels, and it was called a national treasure at the time.

Then the ginseng in her hand... weighed almost 20 taels, doubled directly...

"This one... more than a hundred years old..." Jiang Ran was stunned.

It is said that Jiang Ran has believed it for a thousand years.

Jiang Ran was woken up by the sound of a group swallowing saliva. Looking up, she saw that everyone looked eager.

Jiang Ran said: "Let's dig it out. Each person is responsible for one. Pick the ginseng seeds that are mature and have thick stems."

It was getting late, and it was very difficult to poach all the ginseng, and Jiang Ran was not greedy.

With the correct words, everyone cheered and started happily.

"I don't know how many ginsengs are lurking on this mountain, and...whether there are ginseng demon spirits."

Ginseng has the ability to hide, so it does not necessarily grow bright silkworm seeds to remind others to pick them. Some ginsengs even lie dormant for decades or hundreds of years before they grow new spores and then unearthed.

And seeing so many ginseng at a glance, Jiang Ran suspected that there was a demon spirit lurking on the mountain, but it was a pity that Xiaoliangshan was too big.

Anyway, Jiang Ran used his magic power to scan, and there was no trace of the demon spirit nearby.

Jiang Ran was not reconciled, and thought: "I can only wait for the next opportunity to explore Xiaoliangshan in all directions..."

After thinking about it, I waited for another two hours. Fifteen ginsengs were dug up, and the smallest ginseng weighed three or two.

Fifteen ginsengs were placed in front of Jiang Ran, and Jiang Ran, who came from a merchant family, subconsciously estimated the value of the ginseng.

How should I put it, if in the previous life, such a wild ginseng could fetch tens of thousands, but this world is different, there are many miraculous spirit herbs.

But Jiang Ran thought again that some spiritual grasses and elixir were awesome, but the human body couldn't absorb them either.

For example, when I gave Jiang Xiaowen ice ganoderma, it was intended to calm her anger, but because Jiang Xiaowen's body was too weak, she almost had problems eating it.

Although ginseng does not have real spiritual energy, its medicinal power is comparable to ordinary spiritual herbs.

Spiritual grasses and elixir are mainly sold to monks, but most of them are ordinary people in this world, and ginseng is the divine herb among ordinary people.
