Chapter 615 The extravagant century-old ginseng chicken soup
Mr. Qin returned home with the gift box and did not take it seriously. He placed it on the coffee table and then went to play with his grandson.
When the daughter-in-law of the Qin family saw her husband return and someone was looking after the children, she tidied up and prepared to cook.
Seeing the gift box on the coffee table, the Qin family's daughter-in-law was curious about the contents, so she opened it directly. The century-old ginseng inside appeared in front of the Qin family's daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law of the Qin family is not a doctor. Although she recognizes ginseng, she doesn't have the ability to distinguish the quality of ginseng. She just thinks that this ginseng is much larger and brighter than the ones they usually eat at home.
full.
Mr. Qin is an old Chinese medicine doctor, so he naturally knows a lot about health preservation. His family is well-off, and he always has some nourishing foods at home, such as ginseng, wolfberry, cordyceps, etc.
Therefore, the daughter-in-law of the Qin family is not surprised by these things, but she feels that the ginseng looks very good, so she happened to collect an old domestic hen from the market today, and paired it with this ginseng to make a pot of ginseng chicken soup!
Mr. Qin had no idea that his daughter-in-law wanted to cook the century-old ginseng worth millions directly, just to amuse his grandson. Not long after, Mr. Qin's son also returned home.
Mr. Qin has two sons. The younger son Qin Zhan has returned. He has inherited Mr. Qin’s medical skills and opened a clinic on the street. Mr. Qin will occasionally go there for consultation. Because of his superb medical skills, the business is still very good.
"Honey, what are you cooking today?" Qin Zhan said with a smile.
"Today I bought a home-raised hen from the market. My father just happened to come back with a ginseng stick and stewed a pot of ginseng chicken soup to replenish my father's body." Qin's daughter-in-law said with a smile.
"Oh? Father bought ginseng again? Haha, I remember I bought two boxes last time and I haven't finished them yet." Qin Zhan said in surprise when he heard this.
Ordinary ginseng on the market is sold by the box, not by the branch. Those that can be sold by the branch are either wild ginseng, or are in excellent quality.
However, although ginseng is a great tonic, it should not be eaten regularly. Otherwise, overdoing it will cause trouble...
"Haha, maybe my father has forgotten it, but the ginseng he brought back today is quite different from the usual ones. It is much bigger." The daughter-in-law of the Qin family said, having already put the ginseng into a basin and prepared to rinse it.
"Much bigger?" Qin Zhan walked into the kitchen after hearing this and saw the ginseng being rinsed in the basin. His eyes instantly went straight...
He has inherited the medical skills of Mr. Qin and has a family background. He is no stranger to ginseng and has a high ability to distinguish it. Just from the color of this ginseng, it looks very different from the ones bought in the market.
Big difference, the shape is thicker, full and colorful, the roots are well developed, the appearance is intact, and even the thin strips of hair are clearly visible.
This is definitely not the ginseng you can find in the ordinary market!
Faced with such rarity, the Qin family's daughter-in-law didn't know that when washing, she thought a few ginseng roots were too long, so she broke them off and threw them aside...
"Wait, don't move!"
Seeing that his wife wanted to break other roots, Qin Zhan shouted excitedly.
"What...what's wrong? Husband?"
When talking...
"Pap..."
Another thick ginseng tendon was broken directly, and Qin Zhan's heart was about to bleed...
"Daughter-in-law, don't move. Give me this ginseng. Don't break it again..." Qin Zhan said with a bitter smile.
"What? Isn't it just a stick of ginseng? I've done this countless times."
As he spoke, another ginseng tendril was broken off and thrown aside...
"Honey, don't move, don't move. Let's talk to you if you have anything to say. This is not an ordinary ginseng. It looks like a wild ginseng. It is extremely precious..." Qin Zhan's mouth trembled as he came to his wife and answered.
Pass the ginseng that has five or six roots broken off...
"What? Wild ginseng?" The daughter-in-law of the Qin family was shocked when she heard this.
Artificially cultured ginseng is still very expensive, but wild ginseng is ten times more expensive than artificially cultured ginseng!
The most important thing is that there is a price but no market. The ginseng bought in the market is said to be wild, but in fact most of it is artificially cultivated. After all, not many people know how to distinguish the quality of ginseng, even the daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
People who often handle ginseng can't tell the difference, let alone ordinary people.
Wild ginseng is usually used as a good medicine to cure diseases and save people, but the nourishing soup is not used by even wealthy families. It's not that they can't afford the money, but the quantity is too small...
"Well, this ginseng is very big. I estimate it is at least several decades old. It is a rare treasure, but now you...does our dad know about it?" Qin Zhan asked sadly.
"What's wrong? What wild ginseng?"
At this time, Mr. Qin in the living room heard what the couple said in the kitchen, and curiously walked in with his little grandson in his arms, and then stared straight at the century-old ginseng that had not yet come out of the pot...
"Where did this come from?" Mr. Qin asked with his eyes widened.
"Dad, isn't this what you brought back?" said the Qin family's daughter-in-law.
"Did I bring it back? When did I bring this kind of ginseng back? How could such ginseng be cooked?" Mr. Qin asked in confusion.
Not to mention that ginseng with this appearance could not be found on the market. Even if he found it, he would not be able to afford it.
"It's the gift box on your table. I thought it was the ginseng you bought. I just bought an old hen in the market today and am going to make you a pot of ginseng chicken soup..." Qin's daughter-in-law
There was also some grievance in his voice...
This ginseng is precious, but she doesn't recognize it...
"Well, it's okay. I don't mean to blame you. This gift box was given to me by someone else. I don't know what's in it." Mr. Qin shook his head gently.
However, when my eyes glanced at the fracture of the ginseng and the few ginseng tendrils placed on the chopping board, I still felt a flash of distress...
"Dad, someone gave this to you? Who is such a generous person? This ginseng should look like wild ginseng. It is quite old." Qin Zhan said in surprise.
Although his father has excellent medical skills, he is not a high-ranking person. How could anyone give such an expensive gift?
"A friend, please bring the ginseng over and show it to me." Mr. Qin took a deep breath and said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhan took the ginseng directly and took his son with one hand.
Mr. Qin took the ginseng and looked at it carefully, and then his expression became very exciting...
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Qin Zhan couldn't help but ask when he saw something wrong with his father's face.
"This is the most authentic wild century-old wild ginseng, its value is immeasurable... It's a pity, it's a pity..." Mr. Qin looked at the severed ginseng whiskers and shook his head repeatedly.
"Wild century-old wild ginseng?" Qin Zhan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this...
Here, how much is this century-old ginseng worth? (To be continued)
