Chapter 210: Centennial Ginseng and Cordyceps



A week later, Zhang Guozhi came to Meiyuan and brought 80,000 yuan in cash to buy norfloxacin.

Even though Chen Xia is already wealthy now, seeing so much money all of a sudden makes him so happy that he goes out to make tea, and it’s good tea.

In order to ensure the safety of the money, Zhang Guozhi drove a 212 jeep and had three young and strong staff members in the car as bodyguards.

In those days when there were no bank transfers or mobile payments, most transactions were done with bundles of cash, which was very unsafe and inconvenient.

There are also company checks, but these are too troublesome to withdraw. You can apply for large withdrawals in advance. If someone like Chen Xia goes to withdraw money personally, the bank will ask him where the money comes from, where it will be used, and whether it is for personal use or for the company.

In order to avoid showing off his wealth and being questioned, Chen Xia always asked for cash transactions.

"Brother Chen, please count this money. We are brothers and we have to settle accounts clearly."

"Hey, I can't trust anyone else, but how can I trust you, Brother Zhang?"

Although the words were beautiful, the actions were quite honest. "Sister, Chen Chun, come here."

Chen Chun ran over from the backyard. When he saw so much RMB on the table, he felt a little dizzy: "Whose money is this?"

"Nonsense, of course it's ours in Plum Garden. Hurry up and let everyone count the money. If there are any extra bills, you must return them to Brother Zhang. We can't embezzle them."

Zhang Guozhi smiled and pointed at Chen Xia, "You little fox, you're not afraid of having too many pictures here, I think you're afraid of having too few."

Chen Xia smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother Zhang, you also received the money from the finance department. I'm 100% confident in you. I'm just worried that the finance ladies will make a mistake. If the accounts don't match, it will be troublesome, right? Hehe."

Chen Chun took a large pile of money and walked dizzyly to Chen Qiu's room next door to count the money. The other three female college students were also dizzy.

Especially Shen Huishan, she couldn't count the money over and over again, and it was only 1,000 yuan.

After Zhang Guozhi saw that the money was settled, he waved outside and a few young men took some things out of the car.

"Brother Chen, take a look. This is the wild ginseng you requested. Eight ginsengs are 40 years old, three are 60 years old, and one is a century-old ginseng. We collected this with great difficulty from various pharmaceutical companies across the province."

Chen Xia was holding the century-old ginseng and was grinning so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

This is a real treasure. It can save your life at a critical moment. Even if you are unable to save the situation, at least you can wait until your loved ones arrive before closing your eyes.

Chen Xia will definitely have a lot of property in the future. If his children fight over the property, then this old man will die with regrets. He can drink some ginseng tea and wait for the lawyer to make a will before he dies.

This authentic century-old ginseng can be eaten by yourself or auctioned off later, and I guarantee you will make huge profits in the future.

Others may not be able to preserve ginseng for a long time, but for someone with golden fingers like Chen Xia, the space hospital is the best storage place, where it can be kept fresh and will never rot or deteriorate.

In his previous life, Chen Xia had read a news story about a 300-year-old wild ginseng being sold at auction in Hong Kong for over 10 million yuan. Even ordinary, century-old wild ginseng would fetch several million yuan. Wasn't that the price of a single ginseng piece worth a house?

The key point, please note that the key point is that there is a high price but no demand. When there is a patient at home who needs urgent use, it will be difficult to buy it even if you have money.

Those who have wild ginseng at home are not short of money, and those who are short of money cannot afford it. Even those famous Chinese medicine shops display such century-old ginseng as their "treasure".

The reason why the century-old ginseng became increasingly rare in later generations was because too many people dug it up. Later, even wild ginseng that was over 50 years old became very rare.

This also indicates that the price will continue to soar until it becomes a tonic for only a very small number of people.

The skyrocketing prices also led to frequent ginseng counterfeiting incidents, which almost became an industrial chain.

Ordinary people simply can't tell whether this is wild ginseng or forest ginseng? How old is it? Is it authentically produced in Changbai Mountain in Northeast China, or was it dug up from the Russians?

The efficacy of the medicine varies greatly depending on the region, and naturally the price also varies greatly. Many people have been deceived, and some middlemen have even lost their entire fortunes.

"Brother Zhang, you're amazing! You even managed to get a hundred-year-old wild ginseng! I have plenty of this kind of treasure. Please keep an eye out for me when you get a chance. By the way, how much is this ginseng?"

Zhang Guozhi took out a piece of paper, looked at it, and said, "The 40-year-old is 200 yuan, the 60-year-old is 500 yuan, and this 100-year-old ginseng is 1,000 yuan. Oh, and these two bags of winter grass and summer insects total 50 kilograms, 25 yuan per kilogram, so you'll give me 1,250 yuan."

Chen Xia pointed at two bulging snakeskin bags on the ground and said, "That's it? You're just leaving the Cordyceps sinensis like this?"

Zhang Guozhi blinked in confusion: "Ah, just put it like this, then how else can it be put?"

Chen Xia was so angry that he opened the bag and saw the Cordyceps sinensis piled together in a mess. Some of them were broken, which made him feel heartbroken.

This is all money. In a few decades, the best quality Cordyceps sinensis can be sold for over a million yuan per kilogram. Even ordinary quality Cordyceps sinensis can easily fetch hundreds of thousands of yuan per kilogram.

It's definitely a highly profitable industry. What are those "plants" in the Golden Triangle? No matter how much you speculate, you can't beat the industries controlled by capital.

"Brother Zhang, I'll keep this cordyceps later, but it's best to store it in a box. If it breaks, its efficacy will be much less."

Zhang Guozhi picked up a broken Cordyceps and observed it for a long time in surprise, but he couldn't figure out anything.

"No, it's broken, it's not worth anything. I can get it for you later, brother."

Many years later, every time Zhang Guozhi thought of how he delivered winter grass to the plum garden in snakeskin bags, he wanted to slap himself hard.

I regret that I didn’t buy a few bags of Cordyceps. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about housing problems when my grandchildren start their own families.

Chen Xia was already exhausted, heartbroken over the broken Cordyceps. "Brother Zhang, can you calculate how much money I have to give you in total?"

Zhang Guozhi took out a handwritten invoice from his briefcase and said, "Give me 4,100 yuan. Here's the invoice. Take it."

Chen Xia yelled again, "Academician Chen, give me 4,100 yuan."

Academician Chen, this was Chen Chun's future title, but now Chen Xia has adopted it as a nickname. People don't understand what "academician" means; the highest rank now is "academician," and the term "academician" is a later designation.

An angry voice rang out from the room: "You little bastard, we can't even count the money, why don't you come in and get it yourself?"

Chen Xia walked into the room with his eyes rolled up, and looking at the bed full of banknotes, he wanted to cover his forehead.
