Chapter 474 Let the Qin family spit out the treasure mountain
Huang Yanglong still said the same thing: "How much does it cost per pound? You tell us the price first, and then we will know whether it is worth it."
Doctor You Said: "This raw Polygonatum japonica is pressed on the scale, so it only costs 30 cents per catty; the dried Polygonatum japonica is It costs one hundred and thirty cents per catty; but the best quality Polygonatum japonica that has been steamed and sun-dried can cost up to two taels of silver per catty.” Even if the prepared Polygonatum japonica only weighs three kilograms, it can still be sold for six taels of silver, which is enough for a farmer to find a wife for his son.
And this is just the purchase price, calculated by kilogram.
Pharmacy stores sell it by the weight of one penny. Currently, one penny of steamed and nine-dried Polygonatum japonica costs 48 pence, and a catty of it is worth a hundred pence, so a pound can be sold for four taels and eight cents of silver.
So in this business, whether it is the villagers who collect the medicine and sell it, or the medicine store that purchases it, there is a big profit.
Huang Yanglong was shocked: "Why are there so many differences between raw and prepared? Why? Aren't they both the same thing?"
Doctor You said: "Master Huang, nine steamed nine Sun-drying Polygonatum is very labor-intensive, you have to put in this effort The money is included. And this is a concocted medicinal material, which is a medical technology, so the price will naturally be several times higher."
Youyu urged: "Doctor You, let's dig up Huang Jing quickly, otherwise it will be dark today. Can’t get out of the mountain”
Then he said: "You can't stay in the mountain overnight again tonight, otherwise my father and the Qin family will be anxious if they don't know about it, and they will take people into the mountain overnight to look for us. You don't want to work them like this, right?" br>
Doctor You felt guilty. He really wanted to stay one more night in the mountains, so he called They discussed: "Brother Youyu, how about you go down the mountain first and report to the officials that you are safe?"
Youyu: "..."
"I'm sorry to obey. You If you keep cheating, I will have no choice but to knock you out and carry you out of the mountain today.”
This?
Doctor You was very sorry, but he finally agreed: "Let's do it."
Seeing that he agreed, Youyu breathed a sigh of relief and asked how to dig up Huangjing.
Doctor You taught them, and together they dug four small bags of Polygonatum... This was in the mountains, and there was a shortage of manpower. They couldn't transport more if they dug too much, so they could only write down the location and let the Qin family dig it later. .
"Doctor You, the sun is tilting to the west. Let's gather and go down the mountain quickly." Yu Yu urged.
"Chengchengcheng, let's go down the mountain now." Doctor You didn't want to cause any more trouble to Youyu. He quickly packed up his things and left the place a quarter of an hour later to join the Xunzi group who were digging Gastrodia elata. .
When Xunzi, Xue Feng, Xu Erjun, and Xiao Moutong saw them, they all breathed a sigh of relief, immediately carried the medicinal materials on their backs, and walked out of the mountain.
However, Dr. You still insisted on taking a route he had never taken before.
Yu Yu could only agree, but he calculated his time. As long as he didn't spend time searching for medicinal materials on the road, he would be able to leave the mountain before dark today.
However, he still thought too beautifully.
Doctor You: "Huh? This is Polygonum multiflorum. It looks quite old. No, I have to dig two bags back! Master Huang, this aged wild Polygonum multiflorum can be worth three taels if prepared. It’s a pound of silver. It’s also a good medicine for treating malaria and scrofula. It’s worth digging for!”
"So expensive? You have to dig it!" Huang Yanglong immediately called Xiaobai, Huang Laowu, and Xue Feng to dig Polygonum multiflorum.
I had no choice but to stop and dig with them.
After digging two bags, he immediately urged: "Doctor You, please leave quickly."
"Leave now, leave now." Doctor You responded and continued on his journey.
However, they were very lucky today and came across another medicinal material: "This is Boy's ginseng, Master Huang, it is quite valuable!"
"Do you even need to tell me? This is a ginseng. It must be worth a lot of money. Hurry up and dig it up!" Huang Yanglong was very excited. He squatted down, hugged his child with both hands, and asked: "Doctor You, how much can this plant be sold for?" A thousand taels of silver?”
Well, Doctor You smiled and said something that broke his fantasy: “Master Huang, Although this baby ginseng has the word ginseng, it is not a ginseng. It is just because it can warm the body and improve weak diseases, which is consistent with some of the functions of ginseng... that is, it is much cheaper than ginseng." It's just not valuable, so don't dig it anymore and leave!" Huang Yanglong got up angrily and even wanted to step on the kid.
Doctor You said: "Although ginseng is valuable, it is also considered expensive. The best ginseng can be made for one tael per kilogram."
One tael of silver is indeed much more valuable than the few tens of cents worth of medicinal materials.
"Then dig some and take them back."
The big guy stopped again and dug up the baby ginseng.
Youyu: "..."
Because of Youyu's almost penetrating gaze, when he set off again, Doctor You no longer stopped digging for medicinal materials, but only took the good ones he found first. Record the medicinal materials and wait for the Qin family to dig them up.
The group of people hurried on their way, but because Doctor You had gone a little far, they walked for half an hour before leaving the mountain after it became completely dark.
The official Guan Shuli and the Qin family were extremely anxious. They were about to gather people to go into the mountain to search for the person, when they saw the light of torches.
"Torch light, there is a torch light coming from the mountain, it should be Doctor You and the others!" Second Uncle Qin shouted.
"Xizi, go and have a look." Guan Shuli ordered the boy.
"Yes." Xizi hurriedly ran towards the light of the torch... He also had skills and ran very fast. Not long after, he joined Dr. You and the others, and came back with two bags of medicinal materials on his back: "Master , Doctor You and Young Master Huang, they are all intact, not injured, and have found valuable medicinal materials."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was relieved.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Dr. You and the others finally arrived on the path behind the workshop and immediately saluted and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault. I will never do it again in the future."
After apologizing, he happily talked about the discovery of Gastrodia elata, Polygonatum sibiricum, Hai'er Shen, Polygonum multiflorum and other valuable medicinal materials.
“Judging from the medicine cache in the mountains behind the ghost village, not to mention the entire county, at least half of the county near Taifeng Town has a very rich medicine cache!”
"Such a medicine store is worthy of any medicine shop purchasing medicinal materials, and such a medicine store is enough to make a group of villagers rich!"
Doctor You said excitedly.
After hearing this, everyone was very happy.
Guan Shuli also had a smile on his face. When he saw Doctor You and the others were all dirty, he hurriedly said: "Everyone has worked hard. If anything happens, let's talk about it tomorrow. Get in the car first, I will I'll send you back to town to rest."
Grandpa Qin: "Yes, yes, Doctor You, Master Huang, you. Let's go back and rest quickly."
Doctor You was also very tired. After listening, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back to the town first and talk about the medicinal materials tomorrow."
Guan. The clerk hurriedly arranged for them to get on the bus and leave the ghost village. Before they reached the town, Doctor You and the others were so tired that they fell asleep.
The next day, they didn't wake up until late.
Huang Yanglong even slept until noon. He was so hungry that he got up. After getting dressed, he called to Xiaobai and the others: "Let's go to Lao Song's restaurant for lunch."
Passing by Qin According to his family’s introduction, after eating the food from Old Song’s family, Huang Yanglong stopped going to Taifu Restaurant to take advantage of him and only ordered food from Old Song’s family.
But before we got to the restaurant, we heard the gangsters in the town spreading rumors again: "The Qin family bandits came specifically to steal the treasures of our locals. We can't just let it go. We must let them go." The Qin family spits out our local treasure mountain!”
“Yes, the treasure mountain belongs to our local people, and the Qin family must spit it out. If the treasure mountain is lost, our ancestors will probably come to beat us in their dreams!”
"Spit on your father and your ancestors!" Huang Yanglong was angry, pointing at those who spread rumors, and ordered: "Go and arrest them. Today, I will teach them a lesson for their ancestors who only know jealousy but don't know themselves. The good-for-nothing descendants!”
