The sound of chopping wood was somewhat abrupt in this quiet morning.
The sleepy night owls in the live broadcast room were jolted awake.
What was he doing?
Professor Lu, why are you starting class so early?
Yin Lulu had just gotten up. When she saw Lu Xiao's class reminder, she clicked in and rubbed her eyes as she asked sleepily.
"I have no choice. If I want to rush back as soon as possible, I can only compress the time here.”
Lu Xiao answered with a smile as he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve."
"But my luck is pretty good. I found this old Huangqi not long after I came out.”
What? There was a harvest just like that?
Yin Lulu, who originally wanted to lie back down and continue sleeping, immediately perked up. She looked at the screen carefully and said with a pale face,
Professor Lu, this thing in your hand…is Huangqi?？Was it Huangqi?
Her eyes widened.
Who could have such thick Huangqi?
"Don't look at it just because it's thick. Look at its leaves and flowers carefully. Isn't this Huangqi?”
Hearing Yin Lulu's shocked voice, Lu Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He turned the camera in his hand and aimed it at the half-chopped Huangqi for Yin Lulu to take a closer look.
It really was…
Holding the tablet in her hands, Yin Lulu looked at it carefully for a long time before muttering,
However, the diameter of this branch was too big. It was almost as thick as a child's wrist, right? Ordinary wild Huangqi would only be as thick as a thumb after ten years…
"Therefore, this Huangqi is far more than ten years old.
My rough estimate is that it has been at least 30 years.”
As Lu Xiao spoke, he lowered his head and inserted the hand-held camera to the side. Then, he slightly shaved the thick branch that he had just cut off and pointed the cross-section at the camera.
"Lulu, take a closer look. Think about what I told you before.”
Hmm? What was he looking at? This was already scary enough…
Yin Lulu was a little puzzled, but she still listened to Lu Xiao's instructions.
While observing the cross-section he showed her, she recalled the wild Huangqi she had seen before as a comparison.
Lu Xiao had shaved the surface of the blade very smoothly, and it was as thick as a child's arm.
There was a ring of white jade near the bark, but in the middle was a very dazzling golden color.
What was even more peculiar was that among the interweaving colors of white jade and golden yellow, there were light brown stripes that shot out like meteors. It looked like a blooming chrysanthemum and was exceptionally beautiful.
Golden well, jade balustrade, chrysanthemum star…This is the true northern stiffly vetch?!
Yin Lulu finally woke up and realized what Lu Xiao wanted her to identify. She could not help but exclaim,
Oh my god, a thirty-year-old ginseng?! Am I dreaming?
"I remember now. Not bad."
Lu Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile,"
"That's right, this is a 30-year-old True North Hedyscus.”
Seeing Lu Xiao tutoring him one-on-one, the audience watching the broadcast in Yin Lulu's live broadcast room was so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.
Didn't you say it was Huangqi? What's the big deal about Huangqi? I have a bag of this stuff at home.
I suspect that the person above doesn't have a brain. This thing is obviously different from the ones we buy at home! Look at the color and the pattern. Take out the Huangqi that your family stews. Does it look like this?
Lulu! What good stuff is this? Tell us about it!
Hearing Yin Lulu's surprise, they knew that this was definitely something good. However, they really didn't understand what Yin Lulu was talking about.
They couldn't directly ask Lu Xiao questions in the online class system like the students, so they could only ask Yin Lulu to explain it to them in detail.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll tell you.”
Yin Lulu was a professional uploader after all. She quickly took a screenshot of the live broadcast video and said,
"There are different varieties of vegetables that we usually eat, and it's the same with Huangqi.
The North-Hedysmodium I mentioned just now is the best type of Huangqi.
Even the artificially grown ones were expensive, and the price of wild ones was even higher.
Not to mention the trees that Professor Lu had just dug up, which were more than 30 years old.
Moreover, the herb gatherers nowadays were very smart. They knew that the price of the True North Hedyscus was not cheap. When they patrolled the mountains, they would take away even the twigs along with the roots. There were very few large plants.
Only the remote mountains where Professor Lu was located could have such a scale of excavation.”
"Lulu's lecture is very good. It's a little like what I taught you.”
Because Yin Lulu did not turn off her microphone, Lu Xiao could hear her when she told the audience in the live broadcast room,"
"What you said is indeed right. Now, only in the remote mountains can one encounter this kind of wild medicinal herb that has grown for decades.
However, the reason why I was able to find this stalk of True North Hedysari so quickly was that the villagers here actually didn't know many medicinal herbs.
They don't recognize the herbs that we might see as common. No one comes to buy them usually, so they can grow until now.
Also, I just found a small surprise.”
Lu Xiao smiled and pointed at the root of the ginseng that had just been cut off, moving the camera over.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw a brownish-black hole in the middle of its cross-section near the root.
Lu Xiao stretched out his hand and rubbed his finger against the cross-section. Then, he sniffed it and said,"
"This hole wasn't bitten by an insect. It's called a longan. Only a 40 - 50-year-old Huangqi plant can produce it.
Moreover, its smell was not the bean-like smell of ordinary Huangqi, but a faint bean-like fragrance.
Therefore, its age…had to be doubled!”
The picture attached to this chapter is a comparison of the common Huangqi and the five-year-old Zhengbei Qi. The chrysanthemum star of Jinjing Yulan is still very obvious!
That's all for today's update. Good night, big shots. I'll ask for a wave of tickets before I go to bed!
