"Well, I have completed all the procedures and am ready to go home tomorrow. Mr. Liu, I came to you to ask you something. I contracted a barren hill in the village, reclaimed twenty or thirty acres of mountain land, and prepared to plant some Chinese medicinal materials.

.This is the test result of the soil sample I got back. I would like to ask Mr. Liu for advice on what Chinese medicinal materials are suitable for planting."

Mo Xiaofan said respectfully, and at the same time took out the test results. Liu Jingtian took them and looked at them carefully. He is the retired president of the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and an authoritative expert in traditional Chinese medicine. It is naturally best to ask him for advice.

.

"Yupo, come out and take a look." Mr. Liu looked at it for a while and didn't say anything, but shouted to the inner room. Soon Liu Yupo came out. She nodded towards Mo Xiaofan and took the test.

Just looked at it.

"Judging from the laboratory test reports of these soil samples, it is more suitable for planting Salvia miltiorrhiza. Although Salvia miltiorrhiza is a common Chinese medicinal material, the demand is large, the price is relatively stable, and it is easy to plant and manage. As long as it is planted carefully, the economic value can still be guaranteed

"." Liu Yupo said to Mo Xiaofan after looking at it for a while.

Mo Xiaofan immediately thought of the introduction of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which is a perennial upright herbaceous plant of the genus Salvia of the family Lamiaceae, a dicotyledonous plant. It has thick roots, vermilion on the outside and white on the inside. It is fleshy. The leaves are often odd-numbered pinnately compound leaves with a top.

Raw or axillary racemes; bracts lanceolate, calyx bell-shaped, purplish, corolla purplish-blue, style far outstretched, nutlets black, oval, blooming from April to August, fruits appearing after flowering.

The root of Salvia miltiorrhiza is used as medicine. It contains tanshinone and is a strong emmenagogue. It has the functions of removing blood stasis, regenerating blood, activating blood circulation and regulating menstruation. It is an important gynecological medicine and is mainly used to treat uterine bleeding, irregular menstruation, blood stasis, abdominal pain, menstrual pain and amenorrhea.

, temple pain.

It has a good effect in the treatment of coronary heart disease. In addition, it can also treat neurasthenia, insomnia, joint pain, anemia, mastitis, lymphadenitis, arthritis, sores, boils, pain and swelling, erysipelas, acute and chronic hepatitis, kidney nephritis, bruises, etc.

Late-stage schistosomiasis can cause hepatosplenomegaly and epilepsy. It can also be used externally to clean paint sores.

Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Five ginseng and five colors match the five internal organs. Therefore, ginseng enters the spleen and is called yellow ginseng; Adenophora ginseng enters the lungs and is called white ginseng; Scrophulariaceae enters the kidney and is called black ginseng; Mimeng enters the liver and is called purple ginseng; and salvia miltiorrhiza enters the liver.

When it enters the heart, it is called red ginseng."

In ancient times and traditional Chinese medicine, Salvia miltiorrhiza, ginseng, Adenophora adenophora, Scrophulariaceae, and Eugenia ginseng were listed as one of the five ginseng. This shows the recognition and respect for the value of Chinese medicine. It is indeed the most commonly used medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

Moreover, even ordinary families buy salvia for use in simmering chicken and making soup. Occasionally eating it can strengthen the body, and it is particularly beneficial to women.

"Is Salvia miltiorrhiza easy to grow? Can it still be planted at this time?" Although Mo Xiaofan knew some common sense about Salvia miltiorrhiza, he did not know the planting and management situation, so he took advantage of the two professionals Liu Lao and Liu Yupo to hurriedly

asked.

"Salvia miltiorrhiza is generally propagated by cuttings from June to July every year. Take the above-ground stems of salvia miltiorrhiza, cut them into short sections of 10 cm to 15 cm, cut off 1/2 of the lower leaves, and insert them as you go.

On the prepared border, make a shallow trench with a row spacing of 20 cm and a plant spacing of 10 cm. Then insert the cuttings diagonally along the trench and bury the cuttings 6 cm into the soil.

Water the cuttings and provide shade after cutting. When the regenerated roots grow to about 3 centimeters, they can be transplanted into the field. You can also plant the substituted branches directly and pay attention to watering, and they can survive." Liu Yupo said with a smile.

.

"That is to say, if you buy some Salvia miltiorrhiza stems now, it will be just in time for planting this year. If you manage it well, you can harvest by December at the end of the year. However, I still recommend that you wait until March or April next year to harvest.

, and then it would be better to have another harvest at the end of the year." Mr. Liu added.

"Thank you Mr. Liu and Yu Po for your advice. If I grow a large amount of salvia, Mr. Liu, I wonder if your pharmacy is willing to buy it?" Mo Xiaofan thanked him while looking for sales for himself.

"You are quite smart. If there is no problem with the quality of the Salvia miltiorrhiza you grow, we can purchase any amount. And if you need it, I can also introduce you to purchase Salvia miltiorrhiza stems." Mr. Liu pointed at him and said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Mr. Liu. Can you go buy the stems this afternoon? I also bought a hundred golden pheasants, which I will take back together tomorrow, so I need to buy the salvia stems today." Mo Xiaofan nodded.

.

Mr. Liu then made a phone call and asked Mo Xiaofan to contact the person in charge of the planting base of the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and introduce him to purchase the stems of Salvia miltiorrhiza.

And the seeds of Salvia miltiorrhiza are not cheap. Mo Xiaofan spent more than 15,000 yuan on more than 20 acres of Salvia miltiorrhiza seeds and stems. If he hadn't bought some medicinal materials to sell, it wouldn't have been so expensive.

That’s a lot of money.

On the last day of June, Mo Xiaofan left the provincial capital and returned home. His college life was finally over and he could live his own life, so he was very happy.

When he went back, Mo Xiaofan also brought back several large bags of salvia seeds and a hundred golden pheasant seedlings that were larger than his fist. Naturally, he couldn't take the train with these things, so he paid a lot of money to charter a car back directly.

.

The weather was hot, so Mo Xiaofan set out at five o'clock in the morning. The chartered car was arranged yesterday. After leaving the provincial capital, he got on the highway. He arrived at Yulong County three hours later, and then arrived at Qinglong Town 40 minutes later.

It was not even ten o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Xianshan Village.

"Oh, it's Xiaofan who's back, come and help." His father, Mo Shiqing, received his call early and called several neighbors to help move things, not only the salvia seeds and golden pheasants, but also Mo Xiaofan's graduation belt.

Two large bags of books and luggage came back.

"Master, thank you, please walk slowly."

Nowadays, China's policies are good. Even in a remote place like Xianshan Village, there is a cement road in the village. However, there is still a dirt road two or three miles away from Mo Xiaofan's house. Motorcycles can pass it, but cars cannot pass. Therefore, after unloading the things,

Mo Xiaofan paid the fare and asked the master to go back.

"Xiaofan, how much does it cost to charter a car back from the provincial capital?" asked the neighbor's uncle Mo Shijiang, who also has the same surname.

"Uncle Jiang, it takes nearly five hours to get here from the provincial capital. We have traveled more than 400 kilometers. The fare must be indispensable, otherwise the master would not be willing to run."

Mo Xiaofan smiled and said that the fare for this trip only cost 1,500 yuan. He felt a little sad in his heart, but in order to prevent the salvia stems from being heated and the golden pheasant seedlings from being heated, he felt it was still worth it.

After returning home, Mo Xiaofan led the villagers to place a hundred golden pheasant seedlings in the pine forest. He checked the entire pine forest carefully as usual and was relieved when no Wong Tai Sin was found.

When those golden pheasants arrived in the pine forest, they all screamed excitedly and ran around, searching the ground for pine nuts and pecking at them, and they soon fell in love with this place.

"These golden pheasants are still too young. In addition to Wong Tai Sin, there may be eagles and snakes in the pine forest. I wonder how many of these one hundred seedlings can survive?" Mo Xiaofan thought when he left.

"Xiao Fan, how do you plant this Salvia miltiorrhiza? Can you dig a hole and bury it to grow it?" My mother, Sun Xiaoping, was in the mountains, holding the Salvia miltiorrhiza stems and not knowing what to do.

"Can such small roots be planted alive?" the fat lady next to me asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I have seen this kind of salvia growing wild in the mountains. It grows very slowly. Can I make money growing this?" Pale Sister-in-law Li nodded and said.
