Zhou Xiaochuan brought a group of children to the sheep pen.

When I first came to the dojo, there was a smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air, which was a bit pungent.

At the door, the old man was holding a small wooden shovel, stirring the Chinese medicine in the clay pot from time to time.

This is a small hearth built temporarily with stone blocks.

Captain Zhao and Accountant Feng were also watching.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded to the two of them.

Did not speak.

Did not bother the old man.

The lively little guys saw that Captain Zhao and Accountant Feng were silent, and they also stopped talking.

Standing aside with a basket on his back, he watched the scene curiously.

While boiling the traditional Chinese medicine, the old man glanced at Zhou Xiaochuan who came over.

"Wait a minute, there is still a while."

I saw the old man stirring the medicine in the casserole from time to time.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the old man picked up the clay pot with a loofah.

Pour the medicine into a clean pottery bowl next to it.

After finishing it, the old man handed the bowl to Accountant Feng, "Hurry up and take it back, drink it when it's not hot, and don't drink it when it's cold. It's just a bit bitter."

"Hey, good good."

Accountant Feng took the things and nodded repeatedly.

No matter what time it is, I still despise suffering.

Save your life first.

He said hello to Zhou Xiaochuan and left with the medicine.

Captain Zhao did not leave. Instead, he was looking at the baskets of these children.

Taking a casual look, he said with a smile, "Not bad, so many?"

More than 20 children who went there put at least half of the herbs in the baskets.

But most of them are things that take up space like dandelions.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, and waved to the children, "Come here, put the basket on the ground for Grandpa to see."

When the children heard the words, they put the things in their hands side by side on the ground.

Then he looked at Li Xuanfeng expectantly.

Seeing this, Li Xuanfeng looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with a puzzled expression, "Why are you making so much? You don't need so much."

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao told Zhou Xiaochuan's proposal.

Then he smiled and said, "Even if you can't sell it, you can keep it for your own use."

Hearing Captain Zhao's words, Li Xuanfeng nodded.

He began to rummage through the contents of the basket.

After looking through all the panniers, he took out something from one of the panniers.

This is a three to forty centimeter long plant, with a lot of root hairs on the rhizome with soil underneath.

There is a piece of rhizome hidden in the root hair.

He smiled and said: "Everything is pretty good. The collection is quite complete. You taught it."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

Seeing the old man, Zhao Sixi took something out of his basket.

Then say everything else is fine.

I felt discouraged for a while.

Because most of her basket is full of these things.

The children's rule is that whoever finds it digs.

So when I saw a piece, she wrapped it up, but dug a lot.

Seeing this, Longlong winked at her, meaning, what's up? What you dig won't work.

Annoyed, she pursed her lips and snorted at him.

But what the old man said next surprised her.

Li Xuanfeng asked Zhou Xiaochuan: "Do you still remember what this is?"

Seeing what Li Xuanfeng was holding in his hand, he smiled, "How could you not recognize this. Isn't it just Coptis chinensis? Didn't you dig a little this morning?"

This thing is not a rare thing.

In later generations, it will only cost tens of dollars a catty.

The ones I have dug up before are not so big, they are relatively small, probably only half of this size.

The old man said with a smile while holding this piece of Coptis chinensis: "The price of this basket of Coptis chinensis is as high as all other medicinal materials."

Hearing what the old man said, Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised for a while.

Although he used to sell the medicine he dug up as a cover-up.

But it has never been implemented.

So I really don't know the exact price.

This thing is only big, and the biggest is less than one or two. Even if you earn a basket, it doesn't weigh much.

Li Xuanfeng looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's expression, and said with a smile: "You don't even know the price of these medicinal materials, so you dare to dig them up and sell them?"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

"Grandpa, I don't know the price of these things, so you can tell me about it."

The old man nodded when he heard the words, pointed to the fruit of the forsythia and said: "This forsythia is only 40.7 cents a catty when it is dried."

After speaking, he held the Coptis chinensis in his hand and said, "This is done, ten yuan and eight cents."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan was also surprised for a while.

Even Captain Zhao who was standing next to him was surprised when he heard the words, hurried over and asked, "Is this thing so expensive?"

The things in this basket are dried in the sun, at least there are three or four taels, right?

Isn't that three or four dollars?

This is not bad!

Li Xuanfeng nodded upon hearing this, then shook his head again.

Amidst everyone's doubts, they said: "This is also divided into grades. The one I hold in my hand is a first-class product after it is processed. The price of the lower grades is lower, but it is also much more expensive than other medicinal materials."

When Zhou Xiaochuan heard what he said, he casually asked the prices of several herbs.

After hearing the price, the old man opened his mouth and came.

"Licorice: first-class bar, one piece and eight cents.

Eucommia: Second class, ninety-five cents.

Angelica: mixed village, one seventy-five cents.

Ginseng: 48 sticks of Puhong, 75 yuan and 50 cents.

Panax notoginseng: 160 heads, 105 yuan. "

Zhou Xiaochuan was also surprised when he heard these prices. Other medicinal materials did not expect to be so cheap.

But what surprised him the most was that Panax notoginseng was actually more expensive than ginseng.

Of course, the ginseng here must be of an ordinary year.

48 sticks of red ginseng means that there are 48 sticks of common red ginseng in one catty.

And the 160-head Panax notoginseng has a similar meaning.

These are common cargoes that can be purchased in bulk by weight.

Rare ones are not included.

Dozens of hundreds of years of ginseng will definitely not be at this price.

Moreover, the products of this specification will not be sold in pharmacies, but will be sold to special people through special channels.

However, the price of Panax notoginseng was more expensive than ginseng, which still surprised him.

It's a pity that Panax notoginseng is not produced here.

Panax notoginseng is mainly found in the south.

Captain Zhao heard that the price of panax notoginseng was actually over a hundred yuan a catty.

My saliva is about to flow out.

When I heard that Panax notoginseng is not produced here, I felt a pity for a while.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Captain Zhao said, "Then let's dig out this Coptis chinensis first. I know a lot about it."

"I know,"

"I know too."

...

A group of children heard the words and said one after another.

"Just behind."

Zhao Sixi said to the other side of the mountain.

Cave dwellings are generally built on south-facing hillsides, which are characterized by being sunny, warm and comfortable.

The other side is a shady place, where there are more small shrubs and overgrown with weeds.

Coptidis likes to be cool, humid, and shaded~lightnovelpub.net~ Children have nothing to do and like to run around.

The surrounding situation is naturally well known.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words. Captain Zhao is someone who has been there, so he naturally knows it.

?? This price is for a book I bought, a local price annals published in 1980s.

?There are purchase and retail price lists of various Chinese medicines from 1952 to 1990.

? No bullshit.
