Chapter Ninety-Nine: As if he could see his parents' disbelief, he loosened his hands and the box fell to the ground. He heard the box fall to the ground with a "pop", and was then stepped down hard by Zhou Yang. , Zhou Aimin and Zhang Lianzhi felt heartbroken when they saw them. "Ahem, you kid, why are you throwing a good box at it? Didn't you just say that this box is quite valuable?" Zhang Lianzhi pulled Zhou Yang and said distressedly. It¡¯s not that I feel sorry for my son, I feel sorry for the box under my son¡¯s feet. Zhou Aimin was also distressed. He really didn¡¯t expect that the baby that was praised by his son just now would suddenly become something else and be stepped on! Zhou Yang smiled slightly. After stepping on it, he tapped it lightly with his foot and lifted it with his toes. The box returned to Zhou Yang's hand steadily again. "See, this box is so strong that it won't be broken no matter how much it is dropped. Only in this way can the medicinal materials and things inside not be lost, and the box will not suddenly break on the way to the clinic." Zhou Yang patted it with his hand. He said as he dusted it off. You must know that the imperial doctor¡¯s medicine box usually contains many precious medicinal materials, which are also used to save lives in critical moments when treating the emperor. Seeing that the box was safe and sound, both Zhou Aimin and Zhang Lianzhi couldn't believe it. Their son was a martial arts student, and his kick looked very strong. Even his own dining table could be broken by it. Unexpectedly, this child The box can actually be stepped on by my son several times without any problems. It is so strong. "Then what are you going to use this box for?" Zhang Lianzhi asked. You can¡¯t put this box at home as a piece of art, right? ¡°Besides, no one would believe it even if it were considered a work of art. "Mom, have you forgotten what I do? I am a famous doctor now, or a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I just need a visiting box, and there should be a lot of good things in this box!" Zhou Yang said in a good mood. "Good things? What good things? If there were good things in here, would the stall owner still sell them to you? I wouldn't have taken them away a long time ago." Zhou Aimin said in disbelief. "Dad, the stall owner probably doesn't know that there are good things in this small box. You must know that the imperial doctor's medicine box is not an ordinary medicine box. It is designed with mechanisms. People who don't understand will definitely fight it. It¡¯s not open.¡± Zhou Yang explained. As he spoke, Zhou Yang kept groping on the box with his hands, then casually touched a lotus pattern on the edge of the box with his left hand, and finally pressed lightly on the stamen of the lotus, only to hear "Bang bang" "With a soft sound, the box was opened by Zhou Yang. "This box also contains a mechanism?" Zhou Aimin and Zhang Lianzhi were both dumbfounded. "Of course, how could the imperial doctor's medicine box not have some mechanism? If so, wouldn't anyone be able to use it?" Zhou Yang said with a smile. "You just said there are good things inside? Then open it and see what good things are there?" Zhang Lianzhi asked curiously. "What other good things can there be? In addition to some medicinal materials, what else can be found in the imperial doctor's medicine box." Zhou Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Hai opened the box. Zhou Yang¡¯s expression changed when he saw the things inside. It wasn¡¯t that there was nothing inside or that it was poisonous, but that there were too many things inside and they were too valuable. In addition to some necessary medicines, there is also a set of gold and silver needles commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. The gold and silver needles in the box are naturally not the ones used in modern hospitals, but a very strict set of acupuncture needles. There are detailed distinctions in length and size. Generally, there are very strict distinctions between acupuncture needles. The earliest prototype of acupuncture needles is acupuncture needles. The use of acupuncture to treat diseases is like a person holding a sharp instrument to treat abdominal diseases in the Yin and Shang oracle bones. Acupuncture treatment from the Yin Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty may have used meteorite. Quan Yuanqi, a physician in the Sui Dynasty, believed: "Bianstone is an ancient external treatment method In ancient times, it was not possible to cast iron, so stones were used as needles, hence the name of the needle. Stone. "In fact, it can be said that the acupuncture needles in ancient times can be regarded as the best, and the imperial doctors in the palace can be said to be the best among them. The two sets of gold needles and silver needles in the medicine box were made in The craftsmanship and techniques are undoubtedly the best. Needles of this size are difficult to obtain even for ordinary palace doctors. With just this set of gold and silver needles, the value of this box can be said to be extremely precious. Not to mention there are other things inside. In addition to these two sets of needles, there are also many very precious Chinese medicinal materials in the box, including a century-old ginseng that has been preserved intact. Zhou Yang cannot tell the exact age of the ginseng, but it is definitely over a hundred years old. And the preservation is quite complete. It was obviously processed before. Zhou Yang picked up the ginseng and put it in front of his nose and smelled it. "Fortunately, this ginseng has been well processed before, and the medicinal effect has not been lost." Zhou Yang said excitedly.?. "These are all old boxes. Can this ginseng still be used after such a long time? Also, is this ginseng very valuable?" Zhou Aimin asked puzzled. "Dad, as long as this ginseng is processed well and does not lose its medicinal effect, it will definitely be usable. It has nothing to do with time. Old Chinese medicine practitioners and old pharmacies basically know how to process ginseng to ensure its medicinal effect. When it comes to value, it is worth a It¡¯s about one million, but that¡¯s not the main thing. The main thing is that this ginseng can be used to save lives in times of crisis, so it¡¯s not measured by money,¡± Zhou Yang said. million? So valuable? "I heard that this ginseng depends on age. How old is this ginseng? Is it a thousand-year-old ginseng?" Zhang Lianzhi asked curiously. In her opinion, if this ginseng is so valuable, it must be the same age as the legendary thousand-year-old king and the eighty-thousand-year-old turtle. "I'm also thinking it's a thousand-year-old ginseng. If it's a thousand-year-old ginseng, it would be worth hundreds of millions at least. That depends on whether I'm willing to sell it. I haven't looked at this ginseng in detail yet, but I guess it must be over a hundred years old. , I will have to take a closer look at the specific number of years." Zhou Yang said. Zhou Yang knows how to judge the age of ginseng. Generally, the age of ginseng depends on the reeds, caulk, body, whiskers and pearl points of ginseng. There are reed bowls on the reeds of ginseng, usually one grows every year, and the denser the reed bowls are, the more dense the reed bowls are. , the older the ginseng is. The round reed at the bottom requires more than thirty years of growth to show its shape. Moreover, ginseng usually does not have ring lines on its front. Only very old ginseng will have rings on its front. In addition, looking at the skin is also a way to judge the age of ginseng. Ginseng grows in harsh natural environments for decades or even hundreds of years. The older the skin on the ginseng body, the darker the color and the older the ginseng. Ginseng whiskers are used by ginseng to absorb nutrients. The older the ginseng is, the rarer the ginseng whiskers are. Therefore, the whiskers of old ginseng are simple and refreshing. When ginseng grows underground for decades, many ginseng tendons will rot and grow out. The rotten ginseng tendons will leave scars, which are pearl spots. Therefore, the more pearl spots there are, the older the ginseng is. The older the ginseng is, the higher its value. Ginseng weighing more than 50 grams will take decades to grow, and larger ones will take one to two hundred years. As the saying goes: Seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasure. And the ginseng in Zhou Yang¡¯s hand has round and long reeds, old yellow skin, fine lines, beautiful body shape, whip strips and whiskers, and many pearl nodes. These characteristics are consistent with the characteristics Zhou Yang knows, and it must be a ginseng that is more than a hundred years old. Zhou Yang had already thought about how to use this ginseng. Thinking of this, Zhou Yang looked at his parents beside him, and a strange smile appeared on his face PS: You can take a look at some of the characteristics of century-old ginseng. It's okay. When the time comes, go dig some in the deep mountains and old forests, and you may be able to earn some money as a wife~ Moreover, ginseng is a great tonic~ It¡¯s a great tonic~
