Chapter 64 65. Goddess of Luck
Jin Qianqian covered her pounding heart and asked, "Is this all true?"
Gu Wenheng moved even faster, and the machete in his hand quickly cut a path in front of him.
"This should be correct. It seems that we have run into the lair of Ganoderma lucidum this time." Gu Wenheng was spinning in place excitedly. "I have studied this with my seniors from the medical school before. This red Ganoderma lucidum is the rarest and most valuable of all Ganoderma lucidum. I didn't expect that we would encounter so many here."
Jin Qianqian came over and stood there with a silly smile, "I didn't expect that I also have the protagonist law. I just took a quick glance and found such a good thing.
Oh, no, I have to take a photo as a souvenir, this is my first outdoor achievement in my life."
Gu Wenheng thoughtfully took a machete and inspected the surroundings to make sure there were no other animals hiding there. Then he took the camera and said, "How can I be left out? Let's take a picture together."
The two were not in a hurry to collect Ganoderma lucidum. They took picture after picture from different angles.
After the two of them had enough fun, they collected all 17 red ganoderma plants of various sizes and sent them all to the planting area in the space.
Jin Qianqian brushed off the dirt in her hands with satisfaction and smiled like a money-grubber, "Finally I don't have to spend money all the time."
Gu Wenheng looked around to make sure no one had escaped, then he took Jin Qianqian back to the direction they had chosen before.
Jin Qianqian took out the Chinese medicine book she had put away earlier and said, "I have to study it carefully. Otherwise, even if there is really wild ginseng growing in front of me, I may not recognize it. That would be a real waste of natural resources."
Gu Wenheng couldn't help but turn around and laugh, "Do you really think these things are everywhere in the mountains? Can these things be lined up in a line, waiting for us to pick them up?"
Jin Qianqian made a face, "Who knows? I can find these red Ganoderma now, maybe I can find purple Ganoderma and yellow Ganoderma later. It's a pity that we don't know how to distinguish the age of these herbs. But judging from the largest one, it should be quite old, right?"
"You have really been misled by those TV dramas and novels. Lingzhi is a kind of fungus. It is an annual or biennial fungus. If the mature Lingzhi is not picked in time, it will age or be corroded by insects and has no medicinal value.
Generally speaking, the so-called thousand-year-old Ganoderma is just a saying. Even if it is ten or eight years old, it may not have any medicinal value. The growth habits of Ganoderma are also very unique. It usually grows next to tree stumps with high vegetation density, short light, fertile and moist soil, and loose soil, so it is easy to be eaten by insects or rot. "
"Ah?" Jin Qianqian quickly turned to the page introducing Ganoderma lucidum. After reading it hastily, she felt a little disappointed. "I was so happy for so long in vain. It turns out that the size is not determined by the year."
Gu Wenheng, "But don't be too disappointed. This red Ganoderma Lucidum is wild after all. In this dynasty, it is also considered a high-end and expensive Chinese medicine. Whether you use it for your own consumption or as a gift, it will be top-grade."
Jin Qianqian pouted, "In the novels I read before, other people could sell a Ganoderma lucidum for hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver, but for me, I can only use it as a gift or for my own use."
Gu Wenheng quickened his pace and comforted her, "You can also sell it, but the price will probably be a little different from what you expected. We must keep such a commemorative item for ourselves."
Jin Qianqian kicked the stone in front of her in frustration, watching the stone pass over several trees before finally falling vertically.
"Wait," Jin Qianqian suddenly screamed, "Senior, pinch me quickly, is this really the birth of the goddess of luck?"
After saying that, he pointed in the direction where the stone fell, jumping up and down excitedly, "Look over there, look at that red fruit, is it exactly the same as the one on the page?"
"Maybe I saw it wrong?" Gu Wenheng didn't think it was such a coincidence. "Some plants look similar, but they are completely different..."
"Impossible?" Jin Qianqian compared the paintings in her hand one by one again, "There is no difference.
Senior, wait for me, didn’t you say that they just look similar? "
Looking at Gu Wenheng who was already half running in front, Jin Qianqian felt more confident.
"You really are a goddess of luck," Gu Wenheng suddenly turned around, hugged Jin Qianqian in his arms and spun her around, "This is real wild ginseng from a good vintage. Your mouth must be blessed, and everything you say will come true."
Jin Qianqian was so happy that she lost her mind, staring at the red fruits on the ground, "So, we really made a fortune this time?"
Gu Wenheng looked up at the sky, then looked at the ginseng field. There were twenty or thirty plants of various sizes. It would probably take a long time to dig them all up intact.
"It looks like we'll have to spend the night here again today. Unfortunately, we don't have the right tools, so we can only do the work bit by bit."
"Well, you haven't told me this just now. Isn't this just a false alarm like Lingzhi?"
Gu Wenheng grinned, “This is different, but we don’t know how to determine the year, so we can only wait and find a doctor who knows about it to ask.
If this wild ginseng is of good quality, many people will rush to buy it.”
Gu Wenheng once heard a teacher in a private school say that he only had two small pieces for his wife who was about to give birth, and the baby was not very old, but it cost several taels of silver.
Jin Qianqian immediately and excitedly pulled out a bunch of tools and grabbed a hoe from among them. "Then let's get started. It's safer to put this thing in your pocket."
Gu Wenheng quickly ran over to stop her, "This is not how you dig wild ginseng. Do you have a shovel? If not, a smaller and thinner hoe will do. We have to keep the whole ginseng intact so that we can sell it for a better price."
"Is it so troublesome?" Jin Qianqian walked over, grabbed the smallest ginseng, and with a thought, the ginseng that she was holding disappeared from the spot.
Then he put the ginseng in the space out and found that the whole ginseng root was intact without any signs of breakage. "Look, I am still smart!"
Looking at Jin Qianqian's smug look, Gu Wenheng rubbed his chin and said, "This function is good. It can save us a lot of time."
I had been thinking I would spend the rest of the day here, but I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
Gu Wenheng picked up a wooden stick next to him and, according to the old rules, checked the ginseng in front before letting Jin Qianqian collect the ginseng one by one.
"I'll find some time to go in and take a look later. If these can be planted, we won't have to work so hard growing vegetables." Thinking of the unplanned land, Gu Wenheng thought it would be more cost-effective to buy these medicinal herbs that can stand the test of time.
