Chapter 82: Killed by Ginseng
Seeing Jiang Wanwan standing in front of the star coin exchanger for a long time without moving,
Ye and Dan looked at each other and walked over.
"How is it, is this what you are looking for?" Dan asked curiously.
Before Jiang Wanwan could come to her senses, she opened her mouth to answer.
On the other side, Ye pointed at the number on the screen and asked, "250 star coins, how much is it?"
Two hundred and fifty? This number is really a coincidence.
Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but smile and replied, "You can exchange it for 125 buns, enough for you and your mother to eat for seven or eight days."
Although she put the ginseng in, the star coins went into Ye's account.
Then Jiang Wanwan turned around again, ready to answer Dan's question just now.
However, Dan, who saw the numbers on the screen, no longer cared about the previous question.
He asked in disbelief: "A grass root can actually be exchanged for 250 star coins?"
"Is the grass root what you are looking for? But it is really poisonous and cannot be eaten." Dan emphasized.
Hearing the other party say it is poisonous again, Jiang Wanwan had some incredible guesses in her heart.
She asked: "You said it is poisonous, do you have any basis?"
Dan nodded and began to talk about what he had witnessed before.
"The winter four years ago was particularly long. In order to hold on until spring, my father had to reduce the food distribution. Some people were so hungry that they ran out to dig grass roots to eat."
"That day, Uncle Shi dug a grass root that was bigger than this one. He couldn't bear to eat it, so he took it back to the tribe and shared it with his son."
"Then after a while, their noses began to bleed. Later, not only the noses, but also the mouths and ears began to bleed."
"When the witch came over, they were already dead, and the animal skins and the ground were all covered with blood."
After hearing this story, Ye was shocked.
He still had some impression of Uncle Shi, and Uncle Shi's son was his childhood playmate.
Later, they died, and Ye thought they were starved to death.
This incident left a big psychological shadow on the little boy.
So, Ye would try hard to earn food when other children were playing.
But he didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this?
What if this grass root is really poisonous? Then...
Thinking of this, Ye couldn't help but look at Jiang Wanwan worriedly.
He hesitated and wanted to speak, persuading Jiang Wanwan not to take this grass root.
But thinking that it was enough for him and his mother to eat buns for many days, he was reluctant to give it up.
On the other hand, Jiang Wanwan was a little amused because of this story.
It is bigger than the 468-year-old ginseng, so it must be a ginseng of six or seven hundred years, right?
For ginseng of that age, just pinching a little root the size of a grain of rice can keep you alive for a few days, right?
But it was shared by two people, it would be strange if there were no problems!
The nosebleeds are typical of over-supplementing!
As for the bleeding ears and mouth, I guess it's because of over-supplementing, and there is something wrong with the body, right?
Ye hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke to persuade.
"Jiang, since this thing is really poisonous, why don't you not take it?"
Jiang Wanwan laughed, patted Ye's shoulder, and then explained.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous! This thing is called ginseng, and it is a tonic."
"You said it is a medicine?" Dan was surprised, Wu Ke didn't say that!
"If it is a medicine, how can it kill people?" Ye asked without quite understanding.
Jiang Wanwan replied: "That's because the effect is too strong!"
Seeing that the two still didn't believe it, she thought about it and made an analogy.
"It's just like eating meat! Meat is good, right? But try to eat a tiger in one meal, you will burst your stomach."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this ginseng is only the size of a palm, it is very powerful! Just a little bit at a time is enough."
Jiang Wanwan said, pinching it with her fingers, which was very vivid.
Dan and Ye understood now, and they looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Wanwan concluded: "In short, this ginseng is not only what I am looking for, but also very valuable. It can be exchanged for a lot of star coins."
"However, when you dig it later, you still have to be careful not to dig up the roots below, otherwise the price will be even higher."
It was obviously poison, but it suddenly became a good thing, which made Dan's heart suffer a great shock.
But at this moment, Jiang Wanwan's words made him forget the knot in his heart, and he immediately asked.
"You mean, the price of this ginseng can be higher?"
The price is already so high now, if it can be higher.
Wouldn't it be possible to exchange a lot of iron tools as long as we find a ginseng?
"Yes, if this ginseng is complete, it can be exchanged for at least three or four hundred star coins." Jiang Wanwan boldly assumed.
How long must the roots of a ginseng that is nearly five hundred years old be?
Its weight should at least account for half of the main trunk of the ginseng
, right? So, it is not too much for her to add a hundred star coins?
Afterwards, Jiang Wanwan also explained science to them.
"The roots of ginseng buried underground are very long. Don't let them break. When you dig, try to expand the excavation area."
"The older the ginseng is, the longer the roots are, and the higher the value is! By the way, you can determine the age of the ginseng by the leaves growing on the ground, so you can define the approximate range."
Jiang Wanwan didn't know much about this kind of technical work.
But it didn't matter, she had a versatile mobile phone.
In the past, she could only Baidu and understand through text.
But now it's different. There are all kinds of talents in short videos.
In order to keep the ginseng intact and obtain higher profits.
Jiang Wanwan directly found the homepage of a mountain runner.
There are not only videos on how to identify the age of ginseng and explain the range of the roots.
There are also very detailed videos explaining how to dig ginseng completely.
I believe that after watching these contents, everyone can tell the difference.
Ye knew that he lost a lot of star coins because of his improper digging, and he felt regretful.
But when he saw that the roots of ginseng were so long and he needed to be so careful when digging, he was a little worried.
Digging ginseng is a technical job that requires patience.
He is willing to spend a few hours digging, but he is afraid that he will accidentally dig it off because of his rough hands and feet.
Jiang Wanwan doesn't know what Ye is thinking.
After she played the video of digging ginseng, she found the pictures of medicinal herbs that she had shown Ye before.
Since there is ginseng in the primitive world, and the price is so high.
Then there must be other kinds of medicinal herbs.
Isn't it said that Dan is Wu's disciple? Then he must know some medicinal herbs.
Let him take a look, maybe he will know some!
If a blind cat really meets a dead mouse, it can save a lot of trouble!
