Chapter 003, He Shouwu, which grows into a human shape
In fact, no matter what kind of medicinal materials, no matter how common or common, if they grow for ten years, they will grow into precious old medicines, especially the wild ones, which will have a little medicinal fragrance.
"Ordinary Poria cocos is indeed not worth much, but this is an old medicine that is more than ten years old, so it should be quite valuable. Xiaohuan, please ask Principal Liu to come out and appraise it."
Then, the long-haired girl asked the short-haired girl to go to the back to call someone, while looking at Mo Xiaofan's backpack. She remembered that Mo Xiaofan said that there were also medicinal materials such as angelica, astragalus, and polygonum multiflorum.
"Are all the medicinal plants in your bag from this age?" she asked with some expectation.
"Well, they are almost the same. They all grow together, so the years should be close." Mo Xiaofan nodded and said.
He himself could not identify the age of the old medicine, but he had seen other medicinal materials, which were only much older than this Poria cocos. However, everything would not be clear until Mr. Liu came out.
"Where is your family from? Are the mountains there high? How did you discover these medicinal materials?" The long-haired girl was talkative and chatted with Mo Xiaofan with interest.
"Our hometown is in the southern part of Dibei Province. It is surrounded by mountains, cliffs and dense forests. Moreover, the mountain behind our village is said to have had gods.
We have grown up in the mountains. We like to go into the woods to hunt hares or pick mushrooms and dig for medicinal materials. This time we were lucky. We climbed a mountain wall that no one had been to before and discovered the origin of these medicinal materials.
.”
Mo Xiaofan didn't hide much. He told some situations, but of course he didn't tell the truth completely. At least he didn't plan to tell anyone about the cave, lest anyone find out.
"Everything with a medicinal aroma is an old medicine, at least ten years old." At this moment, a voice came from behind the house, and then an elderly man with white beard and hair came quickly.
"Old Principal Liu, I'm sorry to bother you." Mo Xiaofan said quickly with a smile.
"Young man, it's you. Let me see your medicinal materials." Although Mr. Liu is already over seventy, he has always paid attention to health, so he looks like a man in his fifties, except that his beard and hair have turned white.
"Grandpa, look at this Poria cocos. Is it more than ten years old?" The long-haired girl turned out to be Mr. Liu's granddaughter. No wonder Mo Xiaofan had never seen it before.
"Old medicine, really old medicine." Mr. Liu's name is Liu Jingtian. He was once the president of the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and China's top authority on traditional Chinese medicine. He has seen countless things in his life. When he saw this Poria cocos, he couldn't help but marvel.
"Grandpa, there are some other medicinal materials in his bag, and he also has Polygonum multiflorum of about the same age." Seeing that Grandpa was fascinated by the sight, the long-haired girl quickly reminded him.
"Oh, let's see, young man, there are many people out there, let's go inside and take a look." Mr. Liu nodded and said.
"Mr. Liu, my name is Mo Xiaofan, and I am a student at the Agricultural University next door." Mo Xiaofan immediately introduced himself.
"Well, I'm Liu Jingtian, this is my granddaughter Liu Yupo, a student at the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine." After entering the back room, Mr. Liu politely introduced himself and the granddaughter next to him.
"Mr. Liu, there is a Poria cocos plant here, two other Angelica sinensis plants, and three Astragalus membranaceus plants, all found in one place." Mo Xiaofan directly took out other medicinal materials except Polygonum multiflorum.
"Oh my god, they are all old medicines that are more than ten years old. They are really old medicines." Not only was Mr. Liu shocked, but Liu Yupo next to him even exclaimed.
Mr. Liu has been practicing medicine for decades and has seen countless old and precious medicines. But this was the first time he saw so many old medicines appearing at the same time. So he was stunned for a moment before asking his granddaughter to get a magnifying glass and carefully examine it.
Carefully observe every part of every old medicine.
From the branches and leaves to the rhizomes and then to the roots, Mr. Liu was like finding a treasure. He couldn't put it down. He carefully observed every place and every place, even the soil stuck to the roots.
"I can confirm that these are old wild medicines, but to determine the specific year, I need to cut off a small section of the roots for testing. Mo Xiaofan, can you agree?" Mr. Liu finally asked.
"Mr. Liu, if these medicinal materials are more than ten years old, at what price would you buy them?" Mo Xiaofan asked.
"If these medicinal materials are really more than ten years old, then each plant will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. If they are older, the price will be higher." Mr. Liu thought for a while and said.
"Okay then, I believe that Mr. Liu, the great principal, will not cheat a student like me." Mo Xiaofan gave the other party a high hat.
"Mo Xiaofan, don't worry, we won't take advantage of you." Liu Yupo said with a smile beside him.
Mr. Liu didn't pay attention to this, and immediately opened the inspection equipment next to him, and then carefully cut off a centimeter-long section from the roots of each old medicine, labeled them separately, and inspected them one by one.
About half an hour later, Mr. Liu inspected the seven old medicine plants one by one. All of them were more than ten years old, four of them were fifteen years old, and the oldest one was nineteen years old.
"The four plants that are about fifteen years old are worth 10,000 yuan each; the two plants that are eighteen and seventeen years old are worth fifteen thousand yuan each; and the remaining one with the longest age is worth twenty thousand yuan.
.Mo Xiaofan, do you think this price is acceptable?"
Mo Xiaofan made some calculations and found that seven common medicinal herbs were worth 90,000 yuan. This price was not cheap, so he nodded and said, "I believe the price given by Mr. Liu is fair."
"Didn't you say there is another Polygonum multiflorum plant? Take it out quickly and have a look." Liu Yupo, who had been thinking about Mo Xiaofan's Polygonum multiflorum plant, asked anxiously.
"Yes, yes, where is your Polygonum multiflorum?" When Mr. Liu heard this, he immediately remembered what his granddaughter had reminded him before, but he had forgotten about those precious medicines he saw just now.
"Mr. Liu, if it is a human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum that is more than ten years old, how do you calculate the price?" Mo Xiaofan asked first.
"For wild human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum that is more than ten years old, it depends on the specific time. If it is more than ten years old, the starting price will be about 200,000 yuan; if it is more than 20 years old, the starting price will be 400,000 yuan. And if it is 50 years old, the starting price will be
Up to two million." Mr. Liu thought for a while and said.
"Mr. Liu, this is the Polygonum multiflorum that I collected. Please take a look." Mo Xiaofan felt that the price was similar to what he found online and it was acceptable, so he took out the Polygonum multiflorum.
"Wow……"
As soon as he opened the package of newspapers, Liu Yupo exclaimed, because Polygonum multiflorum exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, which slowly filled the whole room.
Moreover, this human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum plant is about five feet long, shaped like an old man, with beard, hair, eyebrows and eyes, lifelike, except for one pair of eyes closed, as if sleeping.
