Sun Dahai took a wad of ten-yuan bills from Gao Yi and handed them to the stall owner without even looking at them.
At the same time, he said loudly to the people watching the excitement around him: "I don't know how to tell the quality and age of ginseng. Where is the local product company or drug store in the county? Please accompany us to inspect the goods to avoid these two wild ginseng.
There is something wrong with Laoshan Ginseng, and no one can tell for sure.
This is a medicinal material. Let’s not talk about the expensive price. But when the critical moment comes, we still use it to save lives! But there can be no problems. Let’s ask, is this the truth?”
"Yes, how can something worth hundreds of dollars be sold without inspection?"
"This ginseng looks pretty good, should there be no problem?"
"Be careful, there really is fake ginseng. Don't let the disease be cured by then and get poisoned again."
…
The people around were chattering and had different opinions.
Sun Dahai didn't say anything more, and waited for the stall owner's reaction with a smile.
At this time, the stall owner's face seemed to have opened a dyeing workshop, turning red and white.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, handed the money in his hand to Sun Dahai, and then whispered: "I'm sorry, little comrade, I'll give you the money back, I won't sell this ginseng."
As soon as the stall owner said these words, the surrounding area exploded.
"This person is really selling fake medicines. Fortunately, he insisted on inspecting the goods, otherwise he would have been fooled."
"He dares to make fake medicines. Such a person should be arrested by the police and put in jail."
"I think that ginseng is good. Did I make a mistake?"
"I don't dare to inspect the goods. It must be fake. There's no need to ask."
"Fortunately, I'm smart and didn't think twice about buying it, otherwise I would have been fooled."
"Tsk, it's several hundred yuan, can you afford it?"
…
Sun Dahai looked at the stall owner, shook his head gently, and said: "Let's go get it checked. Let me find out what the situation is. If there is nothing wrong with your ginseng, I will definitely buy it, but if there is something wrong with the ginseng, I will buy it."
The problem is, you can’t just let it go. It’s okay to cheat money, but if you use fake medicine to harm people, you can’t let them go.”
Risong took a step forward and stood only three steps away from the stall owner to prevent him from jumping over the wall to attack or escape.
"What are you doing? Spread out."
At this time, two police officers wearing 83-style olive police uniforms arrived on bicycles.
"Comrade Public Security, someone is selling fake medicine here."
Before Sun Dahai and the others could say anything, the enthusiastic crowd had already helped them report the situation to the police. Otherwise, these Northeasterners would be dead!
"Fake medicine?" When the two policemen heard this, they also took it seriously. They got off their bicycles and walked into the circle.
"Comrade Public Security, we were here at the market and saw him selling ginseng, so we were ready to buy it. But when we said we wanted to inspect the goods, he stopped selling it to us." Gao Yi reported the situation to the police truthfully.
"Comrade policeman, my ginseng is definitely real. Although there are some problems, it is definitely not fake, and it will not poison people." The stall owner quickly explained to the policeman.
Upon hearing this, the two police officers also understood the general situation.
One of the older police officers said: "If that's the case, you guys should come back to the station with us and make a record."
After saying that, he pulled out a young man from the crowd watching the fun and said: "Ergazi, do me a favor. Run two steps quickly and tell Lao Song from the local product company and Master Liu from the Chinese medicine shop to ask them to
Come to the institute to help test the authenticity of ginseng."
Therefore, Sun Dahai entered the police station for the first time after his rebirth.
Before the record was completed, the two inspection experts came to the police station in quick succession.
Unexpectedly, one of them knew the stall owner. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Lu Lin, I didn't expect it to be you. How come you were arrested for selling fake ginseng?"
The person who spoke was Lao Song from the local products company. He had known Lu Lin, the ginseng seller, for many years. Through his introduction, everyone learned about Lu Lin's situation.
Lu Lin's ancestors were among the first batch of people from Guandong who came to Guandong after the Qing Dynasty lifted the ban on Longxing. After many twists and turns, they finally came to Longxing Province and became ginseng collectors.
His family was very small, and only one family passed down from generation to generation. When it came to his grandfather's generation, he had an accident while collecting ginseng in the mountains and broke his leg. Although he was rescued, the root of the disease in his legs and feet was there, and it was difficult for him to continue to engage in long-term work.
of field work.
As a family whose main livelihood is ginseng harvesting, if they cannot continue to collect ginseng, the family will lose its main source of income. Lu Lin's grandfather led the family and began to try artificial cultivation of ginseng.
Cultivated ginseng is not valuable, so since Lu Lin's father was able to go into the mountains independently, his family would transport some of the cultivated ginseng seedlings to the mountains and plant them deep in the forest, where previous generations of his family had discovered wild ginseng.
.
These places are inaccessible, but the environment is very suitable for the natural growth of ginseng.
This is actually how forest ginseng is grown, except that the planting environment is beyond his control.
This approach involves a lot of luck, and it is inevitable to sow a lot but reap a small harvest.
However, ginseng is valuable, but ginseng seedlings are not, so the Lu family continued to do so. Until the special period of ten years, no one dared to engage in side business anymore, and the Lu family stopped growing ginseng and started farming.
Ginseng seedlings are artificially cultivated for about two years and then transplanted to the wilderness. Regardless of the inadvertent damage caused by the natural environment and wild animals, or the digging by ginseng customers or herbal collectors, they can grow smoothly for more than twenty years.
Ginseng is really rare.
After three generations of hard work, the Lu family could only harvest six or seven understory ginseng plants that were more than 20 years old.
There are also some ginseng that have been eaten for more than ten years due to the destruction of the growing environment, or being trampled or chewed by animals. Because they can no longer continue to grow healthily, the Lu family dug them out and made them into dried products.
A few years ago, Lu Lin's father was seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for surgery. Lu Lin went to a local product company to sell ginseng in exchange for money to treat his father's illness.

The regulation that forest ginseng that has grown naturally for more than fifteen years can be regarded as wild ginseng will not be officially introduced until around the year 2000.
Many people knew about the Lu family's ginseng farming. Lu Lin was an honest man and would not lie, so he went to a local product company to sell ginseng and told the situation honestly. The ginseng could only be grown according to the regulations.
It was sold at a price of very little money at all.
Lu Lin sold most of his inventory and barely scraped together the cost of the surgery. He refused to sell the remaining ginseng plants at a low price and planned to keep them for his own use.
A few days ago, Lu Lin's wife suddenly lost her sight while working. After going to the city hospital for a checkup, it turned out that she had acute glaucoma and needed surgery as soon as possible.
Although the operation fee of several hundred yuan was not high, it stumped Lu Lin, but if he didn't do it, his wife would go blind and the family would soon collapse.
