Chapter 149: Sky-high Price Bezoar
There are still a lot of silver and gold ingots in the cash register system of the Space-Time Supermarket. Xiao Yingchun doesn't dare to take out too many to sell, for fear of crashing the antique market.
But at the moment, these banknotes are useless to Xiao Yingchun...
After thinking it over, Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan and said, "If it's convenient, can you get me a few more of the ginseng from last time?"
Fu Chenan naturally agreed.
Hundred-year-old ginseng is rare in this era. They are all found by experienced ginseng hunters in deep mountains and old forests. One ginseng is worth hundreds of gold.
Moreover, there were many ferocious beasts in Changbai Mountain at that time, and one could easily lose one's life.
However, compared with the 21st century, the supply of goods is still much more abundant.
As long as you have money and make an appointment with some old pharmacies in advance, you can buy it after a longer period of time.
Xiao Yingchun has checked the auction records and found that the auction price of a complete century-old ginseng was as high as 18 million!
This thing is a good thing that many wealthy families are eager to get, and no one will worry about its source...
Xiao Yingchun seemed to have an idea: Aren't Chinese medicinal materials much easier to sell than gold and silver ingots and various antiques?
Not that eye-catching yet.
Moreover, many modern Chinese medicinal materials are not old enough and their medicinal properties are not good enough. If we could import some Chinese medicinal materials from ancient times...
After returning from Daliang Dynasty, Xiao Yingchun hurried to find Ye Yubin.
Ye Yubin was stunned after hearing Xiao Yingchun's idea: "You said before that you wanted to contract a hilltop to grow herbs. It's only been two days and you're going to resell the herbs again?"
Xiao Yingchun laughed dryly: "I have a friend who said he can get Chinese herbal medicines that are old and have good medicinal properties..."
"So let me ask you, which herb is more valuable in the current Chinese herbal medicine market?"
Ye Yubin expressed deep concern: "Girl, Chinese herbal medicine is a very complicated business. If you are an outsider, you'd better not get involved."
Xiao Yingchun looked at Ye Yubin: "Aren't you here too? I'm planning to bring you in!"
"Uncle Ye, you don't have to do anything else. Just be responsible for identifying the quality of the herbs I purchase."
"Are you familiar with this?"
Ye Yubin sighed, and after a long while he spoke with determination: "Girl, how can you be so bold..."
As Ye Yubin spoke, Xiao Yingchun's expression changed.
Ye Yubin is a doctor of pharmacy. During his doctoral studies, his research direction was Western medicine.
But Ye Yubin’s family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine!
The heir of a family of traditional Chinese medicine gave up the traditional Chinese medicine heritage and chose to study Western medicine pharmacy?
What a traitor!
This action angered Ye Yubin's grandfather, who was an old Chinese medicine doctor. He was furious and kicked Ye Yubin out of the house.
Ye Yubin never expected that his family would disown him just because he chose to study western medicine! ?
It just so happened that at this time Ye Yubin was broken up by Tang Siqiong again and he was heartbroken.
Under the double blow, Ye Yubin simply gave up on himself and opened a pharmacy in a village in the city. He lived in a daze every day, eating and waiting to die.
Who knew that this tiger girl Xiao Yingchun wanted to mess around with the Chinese herbal medicine company? !
He was worried about Xiao Yingchun, and after much hesitation he decided to tell her everything.
Ye Yubin finished speaking, his tone and expression were very vicissitudes: "Of course I have no problem identifying Chinese herbal medicine for you, but girl, you still need to be calm..."
Xiao Yingchun nodded hastily: "I'll listen to Uncle Ye!"
Ye Yubin rolled his eyes in anger: What the hell are you listening to!
She obviously didn't listen!
Forget it, as long as the medicinal materials can pass this test, there won’t be any problem.
Ye Yubin then started talking about the current Chinese herbal medicine market.
What is the most popular medicinal ingredient in the traditional Chinese medicine market today?
Apart from precious ginseng, cordyceps and the like, the most expensive thing is natural bezoar.
The price of the best natural bezoar has reached 1.6 million per kilogram, and it is still out of stock.
Nowadays, the annual domestic production of bezoar is only 1,000 kilograms, while the demand is 5,000 kilograms. Most natural bezoars have to be imported. Ye Yubin did not think that Xiao Yingchun had the means to get natural bezoars. He specifically talked about the recent market of Chinese herbal medicines, mainly talking about two white and one black.
The so-called two whites and one black are Atractylodes macrocephala, White Peony Root, and Paeonia suffruticosa murphy.
The prices of these medicinal herbs are rising rapidly now.
A kilogram of Atractylodes used to cost seven yuan, but now it costs ninety-five yuan.
White peony root that used to cost five yuan per kilogram now costs fifty yuan per kilogram.
The best peony bark used to cost 40 yuan per kilogram, but now it has risen to 120 yuan per kilogram...
Speaking of this, Ye Yubin himself also felt emotional.
"Capital has rushed into the Chinese herbal medicine market. Some herbs are controlled by capital and prices are very chaotic."
"Many Chinese herbal medicines are too expensive, which directly leads to the suspension of production or price increase of Chinese patent medicines using these herbal medicines..."
Xiao Yingchun seemed to understand what he said, but she understood one thing: some medicinal herbs are very valuable now!
If the price difference between the two sides is huge, I can ask Fu Chenan to buy it there and then sell it here.
The next morning, as soon as Xiao Yingchun arrived at Daliang Dynasty, she told Fu Chenan her thoughts.
There would naturally be no problem with Fu Chenan: his family had a doctor named Niu Gensheng, who was very familiar with Chinese herbal medicines, so he could just ask Dr. Niu to help purchase them.
However, given the emperor's fear of him, it would not be possible to purchase in the capital, so he could only go to other places to purchase.
As for bezoar... Fu Chenan's eyes lit up.
"Dozens of miles past Yongzhou City is an endless grassland. Many people there graze cattle and sheep all year round, and bezoar is not expensive there!"
The last time the Fu family army broke into Yongzhou City, they looted a lot of bezoars.
At that time, all the bezoars were given to Doctor Niu, and should not have been used up.
After hearing this, Xiao Yingchun's eyes lit up!
"Then you can help me ask?"
"it is good!"
Fu Chenan agreed immediately.
Xiao Yingchun also talked about the reason why bezoar was so expensive in his world.
I heard that because it is too expensive, some people are cultivating artificial bezoar, and even cultivating artificial bezoar outside the human body... Fu Chenan was stunned!
When it comes to making money, people's brains really work!
The next second, Fu Chenan asked: "How can this bezoar be cultivated artificially?"
On the grasslands of Taizhou and Yongzhou, cattle are grazed in the hundreds or thousands. If they can be artificially bred, the Fu family army in Yongzhou will be able to be self-sufficient in the future!
There is no need to rely on military pay from the court to have enough food and clothing.
Xiao Yingchun: “…I don’t know.”
"But I can go and ask for you..."
Miss Yingchun with red hair and green eyes has finished inspecting the shop and is about to leave!
For a moment, the streets were filled with people who came to see the strange sight.
Xiao Yingchun was escorted out of the capital by Fu Chenan and many onlookers and put on a large ship docked at the Yudai River Pier, and "left" the Daliang Dynasty in full view of everyone.
After returning to Wolong Villa, Xiao Yingchun went to find Ye Yubin again.
How to cultivate bezoar artificially? !
Ye Yubin: You just picked me and raped me alone?
If you haven’t collected any of these treasures, collect them now!
It is convenient to find it later.
The update of the book will remain stable, with two updates a day (8 am and 12 noon), and additional updates will be added from time to time.
My dear who is short of books, why don’t you read some old books?
Those are my other kids...
