Chapter 685 What a treasure

Chapter 685 What a treasure

Jian Hongjie and the others were a few years older than Zhang Chaoyang, and they happened to have experienced the madness of the late 1960s, so Jian Hongjie understood what Zhang Chaoyang meant.

He reached out and patted Liu Hongjun on the shoulder without saying a word.

Liu Hongjun also found that this topic was a bit heavy and not suitable for further discussion.

Then he asked with a smile: "Brother Hai, have you found anything good?"

"Forget it, there are a few pieces of skin, but as the pawnshop owner said, every piece of skin will be tattered by insects and rats." Zhu Dahai said with a look of disgust on his face while carrying a piece of fox skin.

"I just said, after such a long time, the skin is probably not worth anything anymore!

This leather is definitely not good for making a scarf, but it can be used as a pair of gloves! Liu Hongjun looked at it and said with a smile.

"You can pull a few handfuls and pour them down!

Can this crap thing be used as gloves? Zhu Dahai said and threw it up for Liu Hongjun to see for himself.

Liu Hongjun bent down and picked it up and looked at it. It was full of traces of insect bites and rat bites. It was really impossible to make gloves.

If it's just a mouse bite, it's okay to cut it and sew it up to make two pairs of gloves.

However, it is full of bug holes and cannot even be repaired.

"Anything else?"

"I have an old-fashioned hair style." the National Super League shouted, raising a rifle.

The old sleeve refers to the 1888 Commission Rifle. Because this gun has a full-length barrel sleeve outside the barrel, it is called the old sleeve in China.

The old sleeves from the Anti-Japanese War period are actually made in Hanyang. Because the Hanyang Arsenal was the first to introduce the production technology of this gun, this model of gun in later generations is called Hanyang Made.

To be honest, the Hanyang-made and old sleeves are actually a kind of gun. However, the technological innovation of the arsenal later eliminated the outer sleeve, so there is a difference between the Hanyang-made and old sleeves.

"Look what I found!" An excited shout broke the early morning silence.

Guangming took out several wooden boxes from the kang hole and shouted excitedly.

Liu Hongjun raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes naturally turned to Guangming.

One of the wooden boxes in Guangming's hand was opened, revealing a shriveled but huge ginseng. Judging from its shape and texture, this ginseng must be at least a fifth-grade leaf.

Liu Hongjun's eyes flashed with surprise, he didn't expect to find the treasure.

He had good eyesight. Even standing on the pothole, he could see that the shriveled body of this ginseng plant was covered with pearl spots. This was a sign of high-quality ginseng. Each pearl spot represented the age of the ginseng.

"Such a big ginseng must be worth a lot of money, right?" Zhu Dahai and others also gathered around, looking at the ginseng in Guangming's hand, their eyes shining with excitement.

"Such a big ginseng is definitely a treasure!" the National Super League couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yeah, I didn't expect there to be treasures here." Another person echoed.

"Brother Guangming, bring the ginseng up first and let me see if it still has any medicinal effect."

Liu Hongjun was used to seeing ginseng, the fifth-grade leaf ginseng. There were several plants planted in the back hill of his house, one of which was the seventh-grade leaf. Naturally, he would not get excited and spoke to Guangming calmly.

"Okay, then quickly see if this ginseng still has any medicinal effect." Guangming trotted up the kang hole and handed the ginseng and the box to Liu Hongjun.

Liu Hongjun took it, looked at it, smelled it, and finally pinched off a little root at the root and put it in his mouth to taste it.

"It seems that more than half of the medicinal effect has been lost. It is better than ordinary ginseng, but the medicinal effect is at most about the same as that of a lampstand, and it can still be sold for 1,800 yuan." After tasting it, Liu Hongjun said to everyone with a smile.

"Huh? Such a big ginseng is worth a thousand yuan?" Guangming shouted with some disappointment.

It's not that he's short of money, but that he can't end the psychological gap.

Such a large ginseng, I originally thought it would be worth tens of thousands of dollars, but it suddenly turned into a thousand and eighty dollars.

"This fifth-grade leaf ginseng, judging from its medicinal efficacy, may indeed be sold at a high price by unscrupulous merchants in pharmacies as a fifth-grade leaf." Liu Hongjun spoke slowly, with a bit of sadness on his face.

He knows well that the value of ginseng lies not only in its age and size, but also in its unique medicinal effects.

But although the plant in front of me is huge in size, it has lost its medicinal power when it was alive and can no longer exert its magical life-saving effect.

"However, this does not mean that it is useless." Liu Hongjun changed the topic and continued, "Although the fifth-grade leaf ginseng cannot be used for dispensing medicine, we can use it in another way."

Liu Hongjun paused and then said: "The most suitable way to process this ginseng is to mix it with other medicinal materials and brew it into medicinal wine.

When brewed in a large glass bottle, not only does the medicinal effect remain unchanged, but the pearl spots on the ginseng are particularly eye-catching in the transparent glass bottle, and even knowledgeable people will be frightened when they see it. "

These words made everyone present show expressions of sudden realization.

They are all second-generation officials and have a certain understanding of the value and uses of ginseng, but they also have medicinal wine made with ginseng at home.

It’s just that I haven’t really thought about using glass bottles to brew medicinal wine. This is a good way to show off.

Liu Hongjun looked at their excited expressions and opened several more wooden boxes.

I saw that all the ginseng placed in the box were ginseng, some of which were quite old and looked almost the same as the one just now. Among them, there are two ginseng plants with fifth-grade leaves and three ginseng plants with fourth-grade leaves, but they are all shriveled now.

"These ginseng can be used to make medicinal wine." Liu Hongjun pointed to the ginseng in the wooden box and said, "The prepared medicinal wine is an excellent choice whether you drink it yourself or give it to others.

Such a large ginseng soaked wine will definitely show your sincerity. "

Everyone nodded and agreed with Liu Hongjun's suggestion.

With these ginseng plants, their treasure hunting trip came to a perfect end.

I cleaned it up again and saw that all that was left were some pots and pans, none of which were valuable, so I confirmed that nothing was missing.

Liu Hongjun dug a pit at the bottom of the pit, buried the remains of the unknown mountain man, piled a grave, lit three more cigarettes for him, and poured some medicinal wine in front of the grave.

Then he climbed into the pothole and asked people to fill it up with snow.

This is the end of this treasure hunting trip.

Returning to the snow nest built in the morning, the excitement in everyone's hearts has not passed, and they are still discussing.

"Brothers of the Red Army, I have to trouble you about brewing medicinal wine!

We won’t share the medicinal wine brewed from these ginseng plants with you. I will collect the money and give you a gift later, and I will ensure that you will not suffer any loss. "Jian Hongjie said to Liu Hongjun, Dashan and Shitou.
