Chapter 172 Want to buy ginseng
Shen You locked the car door, put on his down jacket and hat, and walked into the studio.
Everyone arrived half an hour earlier than her. Shen You went to the tea table and made herself a pot of white tea. She cut a branch of red plum in the yard, kept it in a clay pot, and took a leisurely rest before going back to work.
Yu Xiaosu glanced back and forth with gossipy eyes, "Uncle Song said you went back to the studio last night?"
Uncle Song also ate the cake and said it was very delicious!
There was also a small portion of the same style left for each of them in the refrigerator.
The two of them celebrated their birthdays here in the evening. The red plum blossoms in the yard bloomed a little, and the faint fragrance came. It was a bit romantic to think about it.
"That flower shop is recommended by me." Gu Shaoyu interjected.
He used to live at night every day, but since he came to the studio, his mental outlook has improved a lot. A few months ago, it was almost impossible to see him in the morning.
"How does Xiao Lu know a good flower shop? Some flowers can't be found in ordinary stores."
Xiao Lu has strong business ability, but he still needs to know more about this matter.
They asked about yesterday's progress for a long time, and judging by their expressions, they felt like they had filled their minds with a lot of pictures and stories.
"What are you looking at?" Shen You was looked at and drank the tea together. "After that, we went home. Everyone went back to their own homes. What can they do?"
She also gave him the skewers she had been coiling for so long. Now she can only wear the jade bracelet, but this thing is not for serving.
Gu Shaoyu's head was full of questions. After a while, he said confusedly, "He is playing with pure love with that face?"
Or is it just a pretense?
"Let's take half a month off during the Chinese New Year, and then start work after the tenth day of the first lunar month, right?" Shen You discussed with Gu Shaoyu.
He basically arranges the internal management.
"I have no objection. Anyway, as you said, the studio doesn't have to rush work recently. I'm thinking about the diamond necklace I mentioned before, which is valuable. Maybe I can cooperate with Jiang He and put it in an auction, either at home or abroad."< br>
For modern jewelry, it doesn’t matter if you send it to auction.
As for her lack of purchase records, the auction company has their own practices, and this matter is nothing, as long as the items are genuine.
"Okay, let's discuss the matter over there." Jewelry that can be sold at famous auctions is all collection grade.
Shen You wouldn't take things out too frequently. Previously, the studio had just been established and everything needed funds, so he sold a few expensive pieces of jewelry. This reason was also reasonable.
It is most convenient to sell them in ancient times, but the things in the bank safes in [Lancheng] are worth tens of millions. In ancient times, there were not many people who could spend thousands of taels of gold to buy them, and the market was small.
At noon, they ordered a simple meal from a nearby restaurant, with ginseng and mutton soup. They drank some soup in winter to keep themselves warm.
"I heard from others that ginseng is as effective as radish, is it really effective?" Cheng Liang asked while holding the bowl.
"How can I put it, the demand for wild ginseng exceeds supply every year." Gu Shaoyu replied, "My father asked his secretary to go to the north to take pictures and come back the year before last."
Shen You remembered that she had one too, so she curiously asked, "How much did it cost?"
"It's more than a hundred dollars. I was hospitalized last year. After I came out, I made soup and drank it. I drank it once, and I felt really energetic after drinking it. Mr. Xu also bought high-year ginseng, which is much better than the one my dad bought."

With his status there, the old man doesn't have to go to so much trouble to find good things. Someone will naturally bring them to him.
Precious medicinal materials basically have good environmental requirements, their output is limited, and there are even fewer wild ones.
Most of the ginseng circulating on the market is artificially planted in the mountains. It grows in size within a few years, and the price will increase several times after ten years.
Authentic wild ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years is becoming increasingly rare and difficult to find. Most of it is dug up before they grow up.
"I didn't feel much else, but I was really energetic. I chewed a piece of beard, and I didn't sleep all night until noon the next day. I also had a nosebleed." Shen You said.
The soup they drink is all artificially raised. It only costs a few yuan a tube. The amount used is not large, so it's okay. Gu Shaoyu heard something was wrong, "How old are you? You are so strong."
"It seems like hundreds of years, the whole beard is so long." Shen You gestured with his hand.
"Damn it! Where did you buy it?" Gu Shaoyu was shocked. He had never seen one that big. "Is there any way to buy it? It can be bought for decades."
Decades of pure wild ginseng is very useful as a gift, especially to elders.
"I used to know a customer who was in the Chinese herbal medicine business. I can probably find him in a few decades, but he will be gone after a hundred years." Shen You replied.
There was no artificial breeding technology in ancient times, so there would be no fakes, but she never thought of discarding medicinal materials.
Take ginseng, which can only be produced in mountains and forests with specific environments. It has become an important local economic industry. Those auctions that are more than a hundred years old have local organizations, endorsements, and special identification teams.
Where does one get the channels? There are so many interests going on behind the scenes. Unexpected fields cannot be touched.
But if she needs it, she can get some.
If not, you can still go to the emperor's old inventory, he must have it.
"Can you buy some for me? It's almost Chinese New Year and I want to give some to the elders in the family." Gu Shaoyu asked.
"My purchasing channel does not come with a test certificate. It is collected directly from the collector. You have to test it yourself." Shen You explained in advance.
Gu Shaoyu nodded, "It's okay, as long as it's real. I'll transfer the money to you directly."
"I'm not sure there will be one. I'll tell you if there is one."
Shen You wouldn't do such troublesome things if it were anyone else, but Gu Shaoyu also took her to the jade market to help her find someone to pick the goods.
In winter, work in the studio ends before five o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as Shen You returned home, Gu Shaoyu sent a message asking if he could take a look at her old ginseng. He was really curious.
Shen You took a photo and sent it to him.
Gu Shaoyu was at home and turned the screen of his mobile phone to show it to his father. For comparison, Shen You placed a cup beside him.
"!!! That's great!" Father Gu looked at the photo with an envious expression, "It's bigger than the 'Ginseng King' we took this year."
That ginseng king was taken away by someone. The other party had a great background and the photo was about worldliness. There was no further bidding.
"Hey, why is there a beard missing? What a pity."
In good condition, it was ruined like this.
"My friend ate it by herself." Gu Shaoyu said without thinking, "Stewed the ribs."
Father Gu:.? How willing!
"That friend of yours must be Miss Shen, hey." Gu's mother sighed, "You failed to live up to expectations and failed to marry into her family."
Father Gu also nodded. She has so many precious antiques and cooperates with the collection library. What an outstanding girl.
Gu Shaoyu:
He just knew that he would not have a chance, so he never thought about it, and it was impossible for Shen You to accept his nightlife. Wouldn't it be bad to follow Shen You in his career?

Shen You opened the store management system.
The third trading plane was unlocked, but this place seemed special and she couldn't switch there yet.
It may be that guests need to enter their temple and have a trading wish to open it.
This is good, there is no cooldown time for switching planes.
