Chapter 54: Flat Ten Fingers from the City



"Wild ginseng?"

Zheng Yeheng recognized dried wild ginseng, but he was a little hesitant to recognize this fresh one. It was so thick and strong, it looked like an ugly radish no matter how you looked at it.

And given Wang Yi's identity, he naturally couldn't produce anything too precious.

This wild ginseng...I'm afraid it's fake.

If it's true, was it found in the bandit camp?

If it was wild ginseng from the bandit camp, it shouldn't be so fresh. Dried ones might be more like it.

It must be fake, right?

"Dig it from the nearby mountain?" Zheng Yeheng held the heavy hammer with a smile on his face, without showing any particular surprise.

On the mountain?

How could ginseng grow on those mounds nearby?

Wang Yi saw Zheng Yeheng's reaction and knew that he did not believe that this was real wild ginseng.

Wild ginseng grows in space and produces medicinal effects in just one day that would take several years to produce outside. When it encounters permanent land, the wild ginseng grows extremely fast. It has medicinal effects that last for a hundred years when it is planted, and now it is at least five hundred years old.

Five hundred year old wild ginseng, not to mention Zheng Yeheng, I’m afraid even Doctor Bai has never seen it.

"This is five hundred year old wild ginseng. It should be worthy enough to be exchanged for these fruits, Your Highness. Your body needs the nourishment of ginseng. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Pfft. Five hundred years?" Zheng Yeheng held back his laughter as he saw Wang Yi speaking so seriously. As for Hong Jiu, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wang Yi glanced at Hong Jiu, said nothing more, stood up and dusted off his body.

Wang Yi has a large patch of such wild ginseng in his space. These are the youngest ones among them. They are the seeds that fall after the wild ginseng matures and are rewarded by the system.

As for whether they believe it or not, Wang Yi doesn't care. To her, wild ginseng is worth the price of a few lychees. She only does things that make her conscience clear. She doesn't care what others think.

I patted my stomach and ate enough water.

"Your Highness, please enjoy the cool air by yourself. Goodbye."

In the evening, a carriage came from Qingdong City and arrived at the half-established military camp.

Doctor Bai has been driven away, and the one who came today is the best doctor in Qingdong City, Ping Shizhi.

The clinic he opened in Qingdong City was always crowded with people seeking medicine and medical treatment. Even wealthy people from several nearby big cities would come. He was a man with extraordinary medical skills.

Because he had some emotional debts in Kyoto, he fled Kyoto and came to Qingdong City, where he lived for twenty years.

Yesterday, the city lord specially sent someone to invite him to treat King Dingyuan's health, so he was forced to leave the city. However, he felt disappointed as soon as he arrived at the military camp.

Coming from Kyoto to Qingdong City was already a downgrade in his quality of life, and now he was forced to come to such a desolate place. How long would he have to stay there?

After arriving, Hong Jiu led them into the largest tent in the camp, where Zheng Yeheng worked.

"Meet the prince."

His pale hair was tied into a knot at the back of his head, and he had two long eyebrows. At his age, he seemed particularly reliable among doctors.

He is the best doctor respected by everyone in the city. If the city lord did not have a close relationship with him, he would not have come outside the city to serve some prince. This would be a very degrading act.

After greeting Zheng Yeheng, he didn't hear Zheng Yeheng asking him to stand up or give up his seat.

Ping Shizhi raised his head with some dissatisfaction, and saw Lord Dingyuan King staring at the things on the table in a daze.

This made Ping Shizhi even more annoyed. He stood up alone and was about to say something, but suddenly he set his eyes on the thing in Zheng Yeheng's hand.

"Ginseng?"

Ping Shizhi blurted out, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

This ginseng is as thick as a baby's arm, with the whiskers on it shaking slightly. It is fresh and still has some dirt on it. It is complete and intact, and is extremely complete. It is actually a top-grade ginseng that is over a hundred years old!

Judging from its thickness and weight, it definitely looks like it is over three hundred years old!

The soil on the ginseng roots has dried up, but the leaves are still emerald green, and the red beans on them are very bright. This is simply excellent quality wild ginseng that is more than three hundred years old!

“Great!”

Ping Shizhi suddenly spoke, startling Zheng Yeheng. He then realized there was another person in the barracks. He raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and looked at Hong Jiu.

Without waiting for Hong Jiu to speak, Ping Shizhi immediately saluted again:

"Greetings, Your Highness. I am the city's physician, Ping Shizhi. I have come here at the invitation of the city lord, specifically to treat your health."

After a pause, Zheng Yeheng nodded slightly: "Yeah. What did you just say is wonderful?"

Ping Shizhi immediately took two steps forward and pointed at something on Zheng Yeheng's desk, saying, "Your Highness, this ginseng is fantastic! If you use this ginseng as the main ingredient in a decoction for you, its nourishing power will surely far exceed that of ordinary people."

"Ginseng? Are you sure this is real ginseng?"

Zheng Yeheng was a little stunned. He really thought it was just an ugly radish.

After all, how can ginseng be so big?

How could a small farmer like me have real ginseng? Wang Yi actually gave me wild ginseng?

Ping Shizhi immediately blew his beard and glared at him. He could be banished to the wilderness, but his ability to identify medicines could never be insulted.

So he raised his chin slightly, spread his fingers and said seriously, "Your Highness, please don't underestimate me. I've met many powerful people in the city, and I've come across a lot of wild ginseng. When I was young, I even went to the White Mountains in Northeast China to train with ginseng pickers."

"You can question my medical ability, but you can't belittle my eyesight. There's no way I can go wrong with this wild ginseng!"

"But I've never seen wild ginseng as fresh and aged as this one."

"I've just met you and have already sized you up. You're suffering from blood stasis, anemia, and fatigue. You need ginseng tea or some tonic medicine."

"And this ginseng is even more suitable as a medicinal guide for making nourishing soups. It's simply the most suitable."

Ping twisted his longevity eyebrows with pride. When it comes to ginseng, he is an expert.

Zheng Yeheng was shocked after hearing this. He stared at the wild ginseng in his hand with a sharp gaze. Without even looking at Ping Shizhi, he said, "You go down first."

Flattened ten fingers: "..."

My heart has been broken by the prince today.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take your pulse, so that—"

"Hongjiu, see the guests off and give them rewards."

"Divine Doctor, please come this way. You can go down and rest first."

Ping Shizhi's face turned red with anger, and he snorted coldly with a flick of his sleeve.

What kind of person is this? It’s so infuriating!

Zheng Yeheng didn't even look at Ping Shizhi, but his mind was deafened by the ginseng in front of him.

This is actually real, wild ginseng!

It’s wild ginseng that’s over 300 years old!

What did Wang Yi say during the day?

This is five hundred years old wild ginseng!

He suddenly called out to Ping Shizhi, who had not walked too far.

"Wait, stop! Divine Doctor, come and take a look at this ginseng. Is it five hundred years old?"
