The first thousand two hundred and twenty-first chapters of the rules of the ginseng people
If you are an experienced ginseng picker, you will know how to watch Qi. Generally, after one portion of ginseng is harvested in a year, there will be a trace of purple Qi above the land where it grows.
Of course, those who are not experienced ginseng pickers will generally not see this purple energy, because this purple energy is very small and can be easily ignored.
Therefore, in the past, those who picked ginseng would choose a handle, and the handle must be able to see the purple color of ginseng. Firstly, it is because it is easier to find ginseng if you can see the purple color of ginseng. Secondly, because ginseng with purple color is generally found.
It is said that they are all over fifty years old. New ginseng like that will not have a purple color, which saves everyone the trouble of digging it out.
You should know that although the approximate age of ginseng can be judged by the number of stems and leaves, the stems and leaves of ginseng are very fragile and are sometimes trampled by passing animals. When they grow again, the leaves will grow again.
A piece begins.
I believe many people have heard some rumors about ginseng. One of the rumors is that ginseng can run. This means that if the ginseng senses someone nearby, the ginseng will run away on its own, so it needs to be tied with a red rope.
Yes, this is called tying a rope (ginseng). Only when it is tied up can the ginseng not be able to escape.
In fact, ginseng cannot run away at all. The reason why there is such a saying is because the stems and leaves of ginseng are very fragile. Maybe if you see the stems and leaves of ginseng here today, they will be trampled by animals the next time. No
Therefore, in order to mark the location of ginseng, there is a method of tying ropes.
Ginseng has a very strong regeneration function. After the stems and leaves are damaged, they will grow again, but they will be the same leaves as new ginseng, starting from two leaves. This is called reincarnation. Therefore, you will see the purple gas of ginseng, which is useful for digging ginseng.
It is a very powerful skill. Otherwise, looking at those newly born ginseng leaves, if you don't dig them out, they might be ginseng that is more than a hundred years old.
But if you dig it, if it is really new ginseng, it will be a waste. Ginseng of several years has no big effect, and if you dig the new ginseng, there will be no old ginseng in the future.
The most important thing to pay attention to when relying on the mountains is to eat the mountains, and to rely on the sea to eat the sea.
Therefore, being able to see the purple qi of ginseng is the dream of any ginseng picker. However, it is not an easy task to learn to see the purple qi. Just like any skill, it is acquired through hard work. Seeing the purple qi of ginseng
The same is true.
This requires observing at least ten ginseng plants that are more than a hundred years old, and then adding the guidance of people who have experienced it before you can grasp the mystery. In the past, although there were few such people, at least every team that went into the mountains to collect ginseng would have it.
one.
But now, as ginseng is harvested too much, there are very few ginseng that are more than a century old. There are no such good opportunities for ginseng pickers to study and study. This has led to the fact that except for the older generation of ginseng pickers, no one has
You will see purple energy.
…
Back to the topic, after seeing the ginseng purple energy, the group walked towards the bush under the leadership of Mr. Pu. Mr. Pu took out two wooden sticks from his waist. There was a red rope tied between the two wooden sticks.
There is a copper coin on each side of the rope tied to the stick.
On the other side, two brothers, Park Hye Hyun and Park Hye Soo, each took out a stick and carefully cleared the weeds in the bushes. After a while, they saw what Qin Yu had seen before in the bushes.
That's ginseng.
"Grandpa Park, there are five leaves, yes, and there is a red string. This is the ginseng that my grandfather left a mark on." Park Hye-hyun shouted excitedly when he saw the five-branched ginseng leaf.
In fact, Park Hye-hyun didn't need to shout, everyone had already seen the ginseng. After all, the red fruits on the ginseng were so eye-catching that it was difficult not to be noticed.
"Boss Wang, I'm not lying to you. I told you that my grandfather left a century-old ginseng plant." An excited Park Hye-hyun said to the middle-aged man with a big belly.
"Well, that's right. When this ginseng is dug out, one million will be yours." Boss Wang's eyes also flashed with light. To him, this century-old ginseng is worth far more than one million.
"etc."
However, just when Park Huixian was excited, Mr. Park frowned. He walked into the ginseng, touched the copper coins on the red string tied to the ginseng stems and leaves, and asked Park Huixian:
"Did your grandfather tell you about the Kaiyuan copper coins tied to human ginseng, or did you guess it yourself?"
"My grandfather wrote it in his notes." Park Hye-hyun took out an old notebook from his pocket, flipped through the page, and said, "My grandfather recorded in his notes that when he discovered this ginseng plant
, so he tied a Kaiyuan copper coin on a red rope and tied it between the stems and leaves of ginseng."
Park Hye-hyun was so excited that he didn't notice that as his words came out, Mr. Park's brows furrowed more and more tightly. In the end, he sighed and said, "Hey, let's go."
Withdrawing the two wooden sticks in his hand, Mr. Pu closed the bushes. However, his actions and words stunned everyone except Qin Yu.
"Grandpa Park, we haven't dug ginseng yet, why are we leaving?" Park Hye-hyun asked doubtfully.
"Come and take a look at this copper coin for yourself." Mr. Park did not say anything and moved his position. Park Huixian walked to the position where Mr. Park was standing before, squatted down and opened the ginseng leaves, picked up the copper coin and looked at it.
.
Seeing this, Park Hye-hyun showed a look of disbelief at first, and then stood there, dumbfounded.
At the same time, Mr. Pu's voice sounded again, "This copper coin is a Qianlong copper coin, and since your grandfather wrote it as a Kaiyuan copper coin, it means that this ginseng plant was not marked by your grandfather, but by someone else."
According to the rules of ginseng pickers, ginseng that has been discovered cannot be picked, but the owner who left the mark can be found. In this case, after the ginseng is dug out and sold, you can get a share.
money.
The reason why Park Hye-hyun was stunned was because he knew the rules, which meant that they could not pick this ginseng.
"What are you breaking the rules? If you want to put it that way, I went around the Changbai Mountains and marked all the ginseng I saw. Does that mean that all the ginseng in the Changbai Mountains belongs to me?" Boss Wang said with some annoyance.
"If you have the ability, you can really do it." Mr. Pu's words made Boss Wang choke up.
As mentioned before, the stems and leaves of ginseng are very fragile and can easily be trampled by passing animals. Therefore, many ginsengs are usually not found at all. Sometimes it takes chance and coincidence.
Moreover, there is another very important reason. Genius treasures like ginseng are most loved by snakes. Many ginsengs will be guarded by snakes. Once the ginseng matures, the fruit will be swallowed up, along with the stems.
There are no leaves at all, so it is even harder to find.
"Park Hye-hyun, dig out this ginseng, one million will still be yours." Boss Wang saw that he couldn't explain to Mr. Park, so he turned to Park Hye-hyun and said.
After hearing Park Lao's words, Park Hye-hyun had a look of excitement on his face. One million, he was in a hurry for money now, and on second thought, he felt that Boss Wang was right. Could it be because of this ginseng?
If it is marked by someone, can it not be dug? Then if some people specifically select those ginseng that is not old enough to mark it, and leave it to future generations to dig, other ginseng pickers will not use it.
At this time, Park Hye-hyun had no idea that his previous thoughts were exactly the opposite. It was precisely because of his grandfather's mark that he knew that the ginseng would not be dug up by the ginseng pickers, so he took Boss Wang into the mountains to find ginseng.
.
Human nature is like this sometimes. When the rules are beneficial to him, he will follow them, but when the rules are not beneficial to him, he will selectively refute and ignore them.
"Grandpa Park, look..." Park Hye-hyun looked at Mr. Park hesitantly, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Huixian, we must not break the rules of ginseng collectors. Otherwise, the consequences will be endless and the entire mountain will be completely dug up."
Mr. Pu's expression was very serious. Faced with the plea of his benefactor's grandson, he didn't want to agree, but rules are rules, and there are deep reasons why this rule was set.
Because, if there is no such rule, many ginseng pickers will dig up the ginseng that is not old enough, because if they don’t dig it, it may be dug by others. No one has selfish motives. Since it will be dug by others, then just dig it yourself.
Forget it. No matter how old it is, it’s still ginseng, and it’s still worth much more than a piece of straw.
And if this is really done, it will be a devastating blow to the ginseng in the Changbai Mountains and the entire ginseng picking industry. There will be fewer and fewer old ginsengs, and new ginseng will be dug out constantly. In the end, it will become
There is no ginseng to dig in the entire mountain range.
This is the real reason why there are such rules in the ginseng picking industry. By doing this, you can prevent some new ginseng from being dug out, which not only allows the ginseng to grow to a suitable year and sell at a suitable price, but also does not
It will make ginseng pickers work hard to find ginseng.
This involves a psychology. After a ginseng picker has marked so many dozen ginseng plants, he will subconsciously control his behavior and not take too many ginseng, unless of course he is urgently short of money.
"You are ginseng pickers and cannot break the rules, but we are not. Since you dare not dig, then let us do it. But let me tell you, if we dig it, I will only give you five hundred thousand."
Boss Wang waved his hand, and the three strong men walked to the ginseng plant. However, Mr. Pu was a step ahead of them and blocked the way of the three of them. His face became very ugly, and he said in a low voice: "The ginseng picker's
The rules cannot be broken. You are the ones I brought up the mountain, so you must abide by these rules." (To be continued)
