A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 132 You're telling me there's ginseng, dendrobium, and cordyceps here?!
The herbal pavilion in the scenic area is completely surrounded, and the inside cannot be seen.

All I know is that construction is underway.

Qi Yue personally supervised the process on-site, as it involved many precious medicinal herbs and could not be taken lightly.

Soon, the herb field was divided into several areas.

Different herbs are grown in each area.

At the farthest point from the entrance to the park, a huge linden tree was planted, which was the biggest part of the renovation project.

Under the shade of a linden tree, a ginseng plant, enveloped in soil, was planted. From this day forward, this ginseng will thrive here.

Near the mountain, a new rock has been added, with a thin stream of water flowing out from the mountainside, creating an ideal environment for the growth of moss and algae.

Wild dendrobium orchids grow all over the mountain rocks.

In addition, things like monitors and irrigation systems have also been installed.

And so a beautiful park for visitors was established.

Qi Yue was very satisfied with this.

I used to want to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, which would make the sect more realistic. But later I felt that opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in a scenic area would be too troublesome.

Let's just turn it into a place for growing rare Chinese medicinal herbs.

After all, in fantasy novels, every sect has a place where spiritual herbs are grown.

The renovation of the herbal medicine pavilion was completed in just three days, without taking more than a few days.

After assigning an employee to the herb pavilion, it officially opened to the public.

On a typical weekend, the scenic area was bustling with tourists.

The herb pavilion has been completely renovated, and there is now information about the herb fields next to it.

Many tourists flocked to visit the herb field behind the building.

Expensive herbs such as dendrobium and ginseng are kept in isolation zones, and these zones are quite far apart.

The ginseng was even surrounded by a transparent enclosure.

Other herb fields can be visited up close.

Most people are just watching for the spectacle.

For example, a field of Panax notoginseng herbs, the field is full of lush green leaves.

Most people who see this scene will only think that it is a kind of unusual-looking weed.

After all, there are all sorts of strange and wonderful grasses, and who knows which one is which?

But some people, who have studied traditional Chinese medicine, will sigh with admiration when they see these precious herbs:
The environment in the scenic area is really nice; these medicinal herbs are growing so well.

At this moment, a group of five people stood in front of an 80-year-old, grade-six ginseng, admiring it for a long time.

One of them was named Peng Shan, 40 years old, and was a doctor at the best traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the city.

Qi Yue had previously inquired about cooperation with that traditional Chinese medicine clinic, but Peng Shan refused.

Today, the TCM clinic held a team-building activity by hiking in Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

Occasionally doing aerobic exercise in the mountains and getting close to nature is extremely beneficial to the body.

"Is this really a sixth-grade leaf?"

A person nearby looked at the ginseng leaves sprouting from the soil with disbelief.

Ginseng grows underground, with only one seedling emerging from the ground.

Many tourists once thought that the main attraction of this area was the beautifully manicured giant linden tree.

They'd take a second look and exclaim, "This tree is so beautiful!"

The real protagonist of this area is a grass seedling sprouting under a linden tree.

At this moment, the five people who were having a team-building activity at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic stared at the ginseng seedling for a long time.

"It is indeed a six-petal leaf, with six stems branching out from the middle, and each stem has a large leaf growing on it."

"And the leaves are so big, and they're growing so well."

"It's been at least fifty years, I'd say."

"A person next to me exclaimed in shock."

"More than that, almost 80 years."

At this point, Pengshan provided the answer.

“My relatives in Northeast China lease mountains to grow ginseng and also go to Changbai Mountain to dig for ginseng. I saw this when I was a child, so I know a lot about ginseng.”

"This ginseng is a very well-grown wild ginseng."

"In the 1980s, it would be worth several hundred thousand."

"If it is a 100-year-old wild ginseng, and it really is a 100-year-old wild ginseng, its value is even higher. It can have the effect of giving you a boost after eating just one piece."

Pengshan added.

Ginseng is divided into wild ginseng and forest ginseng. The former is wild and has high medicinal value, while the latter is cultivated on a large scale, has very low medicinal value, and is extremely cheap.

In Northeast China, every year after ginseng sprouts leaves, a large number of ginseng harvesters go into the mountains to harvest ginseng, and there are also ginseng merchants who go from street to street to buy it.

However, in the past two years, due to the decreasing number of wild human specimens, they have been protected.

Upon hearing Peng Shan's words, his colleagues at the TCM clinic all looked amazed.

"Eighty years old and still wild ginseng? Did this grow in the mountains? The climate here shouldn't be able to grow ginseng!"

one person asked.

"It should have been transplanted as a whole plant. They dug up the soil around the ginseng roots, wrapped it up, and then transported it over."

"This way, the ginseng can survive for a short period of time."

"It's just too incredible."

Peng Shan was equally shocked.

"Because ginseng grows deep in the mountains, the roots are usually carefully cleaned with a deer antler hoe before being dug out."

"To dig all the soil away, you'd need at least an excavator."

"This scenic area has really gone all out; they actually managed to do this." "I bet they sold him some wild ginseng that they'd been storing somewhere."

"He dug it all up and planted it here."

Upon hearing this, the people at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic were full of amazement.

Next to the ginseng garden, there is an information board.

The sign had information about ginseng.

What Pengshan said is absolutely right.

"It is indeed written here that this is a six-grade wild ginseng that is eighty years old. The whole plant was transplanted and is currently growing well."

"That's quite a big investment. We bought it and put it here for everyone to see."

One employee clicked his tongue.

They looked at the ginseng leaves for a while, but unfortunately they couldn't see the shape of the ginseng.

It would be best to plant the ginseng in a transparent box to show its appearance.

But in that case, the ginseng wouldn't be able to absorb enough nutrients, and it would be no different from being dead.

Qi Yue believed in letting nature take its course; if the ginseng could live, he would let it live.

In twenty years, it will reach the age of a hundred. A natural treasure that has absorbed the essence of a hundred years can be considered the essence of the scenic area.

Next, the group from Pengshan saw wild Dendrobium.

Wow, so many dendrobium orchids! They're growing so well!

"How did they get this? It doesn't look like it was farmed. Farmed dendrobiums don't look this good!"

Everyone recognizes Dendrobium, and they immediately started discussing it after seeing it.

"I'm so tempted to pick some and take them back to our clinic."

"This is much more effective than buying online."

Another person said.

Of course, everyone was just saying it as a joke.

They won't actually pick them.

Even if you wanted to pick them, you couldn't reach them. There are surveillance cameras and isolation zones in the park, and people are watching over you.

Then they saw the garden of Cordyceps sinensis.

A few small seedlings of Cordyceps sinensis sprouted from the ground, and a ridge rose up on the ground.

The group of people were stunned for a moment.

"I am not wrong, right."

"Cordyceps?"

"Tell me about a place where herbs are grown, with wild ginseng, wild dendrobium, and cordyceps?"

“If I were to call my advisor and tell him about this, he could expel me from his program.”

One of them muttered in confusion.

At this moment, Peng Shan was also a little confused.

"It is indeed cordyceps."

"I can't explain it either."

"Logically speaking, cordyceps should grow in low-temperature environments at high altitudes."

"It's rather humid and hot here."

"But these cordyceps are indeed growing very well."

"And it looks like it's almost time to harvest them."

The group truly broadened their horizons.

They took photos to remember the occasion, and then left the herb pavilion.

Looking back, the ancient-style herb pavilion is magnificent and blends into the mountains, as if it were a blessed land full of spiritual energy.

Indeed, some of them contain rare Chinese medicinal herbs.

You can see things here that are hard to find elsewhere.

It's absurd to think about.

"This place is amazing!"

"Because it only contained common Chinese herbs, I didn't expect them to be all top-quality."

"How rich must this owner be?!"

"No wonder they were able to build such a large scenic area."

Peng Shan was still amazed and full of admiration.

Peng Shan felt a little regretful when he thought about how the owner of this scenic spot had approached him before and asked if he could open a branch here.

Of course, it's only a small amount, since they really don't plan to open a shop here.

The group left just like that.

There are many people like them who understand traditional Chinese medicine, and these tourists were equally amazed after entering the herb pavilion.

There's a really talented young blogger who even made a video specifically to explain this.

Viewers who saw the video realized what was hidden behind the unassuming herb pavilion.

It may even be the building with the deepest cultural heritage in the sect scenic area.

The Qingfeng Mountain scenic area is getting better and better.

The ripples caused by the Herb Pavilion were, after all, limited in scope.

What truly stirred up a huge wave and attracted many people to flock to the scenic area was the launch of the scenic area's silver ticket APP and mini-program, along with a real-time ranking list, this weekend.

For some highly competitive people, this kind of realistic game has a fatal attraction.
