Chapter 36: 100 years old ginseng

Bluebell was undoubtedly a herbal medicine . But, can it really be considered to be an extremely precious herb?

Perhaps, not really . Bluebell has a fragrant smell, but taste bitter . It was mainly used to lessen to the side effect of strong drugs . It was also similar to licorice, but not as good as it is .

Therefore, modern pharmacists were very reluctant to plant bluebells . And over the time, bluebells were replaced by another kind of herbs .

It was not until that year when she inadvertently discovered that there was a very special medicinal essence in bluebell . This medicinal essence could kill cancer cells . In which it became a marvelous discovery . But, when she discovered it, there was only very few bluebells that exist in the world . And the current situation of the environment in the 23rd century was no longer suitable to grow bluebell .

However, although there was a large file of bluebell in front of her . How will she extract its medicinal essence and do a research medicine in this world?

This was not the 23rd century, she cant extract the medicinal essence . So, this bluebell was now only an ordinary herb

Seeing the excitement on her face gradually diminishing, Hu Feng was confused: What happened to you?

Bai Zhi sighed and shook her head: Nothing, Im glad to see these bluebells . But, Im afraid they wont sell at a good price . Forget it, let them grow here first . Maybe, we can use them in the future .

Bai Zhiturned around with a bitter smile . The bamboo bag on her back was still empty . She thought, in such a big forest, there will be abundant herbs, but imagination was still far from reality .

At this time, she was physically exhausted . She knows she could no longer go forward . They must return on the same road . Otherwise, if they were lost and the night came, the hungry animals will eat them . They will end up miserable .

But, just as she was preparing to return back to the village, a bright red color fell on her eyes . She thought she was blinded . But, under the tree, near the bluebells field, there was a dazzling red color .

Bai Zhi quickly rushed over and stared at the bright red jujube-like fruit .

Hu Feng also followed and glanced at the red fruit . He was curious, so he asked: Is this a wild fruit?

Bai Zhi rubbed together her palms and said with a smile: No, this is not a wild fruit . This is a wild ginseng! A wild ginseng ah! With its size, it can be sold with a big amount .

WhenHu Fengheard it was a wild ginseng, he also got excited . The ginseng was as precious as gold . Especially the wild ginseng in this kind of forest . An average person like him cannot afford it .

Bai Zhi took out her small shovel and carefully excavated the ginseng . Hu Feng didnt help her this time . He doesnt understand this thing . He might destroy it if he helps .

Digging ginseng was a very meticulous work . She mustnt be anxious or hurry . She must ensure and keep the quality of this ginseng . After all, the more the quality was good, the better the price .

After digging for a long time, half the body of ginseng was finally revealed . This ginseng was bigger than she had imagined . She doesnt know how long it has grown in this deep forest . Maybe, it was more than a hundred years old .

After she finished digging out the whole ginseng, Bai Zhi patted the soil and smiled in front of Hu Feng: Have you ever seen such a big ginseng before?

Hu Feng shook his head, then said: I dont know, I lost my memory . But in 3 years I lived in Huangtou Village, Ive never seen one .
