Ginseng is a perennial herbaceous plant of the order Araliaceae, order Umbelliferae, and likes shade. Its leaves have no stomata and palisade tissue and cannot retain water. The leaves will be burned when the temperature is higher than 32 degrees. The canopy closure degree is 0.7-0.8. It usually blooms in 3 years and bears fruit in 5-6 years. The flowering period is from May to June and the fruiting period is from June to September.

It grows in coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests or deciduous broad-leaved forests dominated by Korean pine at an altitude of several hundred meters between 33 and 48 degrees north latitude. It is produced in Northeast China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and eastern Russia. Ginseng is also known as yellow ginseng, goblin, sacred grass and king of herbs. It is one of the famous "Three Treasures of the Northeast".

When Vasily brought Bao Zixuan and others to the ginseng, several old ginseng pickers were shocked by the ginseng with lush stems and leaves in front of them.

Zhao Laoliu is the leader and manager of the ginseng pickers this time. He has lived in the mountains of Northeast China for a long time. When the employees of Heiyun Group saw the skills of these veteran ginseng pickers when purchasing ginseng in Northeast China, they took them directly to Xiangjiang.

Zhao Laoliu went to Xiangjiang with Heiyun's purchasing staff, and came to the Soviet Union under the instruction of Dr. Huang Chunqiu. In fact, it was because Bao Zixuan had such connections that he opened up all the connections between China and the Soviet Union. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get a visa so quickly, and the formalities alone would be a big trouble.

Zhao Laoliu has been engaged in the ginseng harvesting industry for more than 30 years. In these years of ginseng harvesting career, he has never seen such huge ginseng branches and leaves. According to estimates, it is definitely more than 500 years old. This is an incredible treasure. It can be said that it is rare in the world to be able to reach the realm of flesh and bones of the living dead.

Zhao Laoliu said to Bao Zixuan: "My boss, it looks like there should be no problem. But be careful, it's up to us and our children to dig it out."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for everything, Master Zhao, you are an expert in this field."

Zhao Laoliu was very happy to hear the title of Bao Zixuan. This big boss in Xiangjiang did not yell at him as rumored. I have a lot of respect for these people, and they are very generous when giving money. The most important thing is to follow their plan completely after entering the mountain, and truly be a professional doing professional things.

Zhao Laoliu started working with three workers. They first tied a red thread on the ginseng stems and leaves. This is an ancient tradition, which is to prevent the ginseng from turning into essence and escaping during the excavation process. It's just a beautiful myth and legend, it can't be taken seriously. However, this has been done when digging ginseng in the Northeast for more than a hundred years, and it has become a tradition now.

They used wooden tools to continuously dig into the black soil around the ginseng, starting within 3 meters of the surrounding area. I am just afraid of damaging even a tiny bit of ginseng seeds.

Currently, everyone is watching the work of Zhao Laoliu and others, and they do not dare to disturb them at this time. I'm just afraid that the staff will be distracted, so the best way at the moment is to wait.

Bao Zixuan is also arranging other people to do the logistics work. At present, everything is arranged around Zhao Laoliu and the others. Soviet soldiers were setting up tents and making fires to cook on what might be their last night in the mountains.

Zhao Laoliu carefully dug up the ginseng. According to his experience, this ginseng was probably the ginseng they were looking for that was over 500 years old. Boss Bao spent a lot of money for this thing this time. Not only did he bring them to the Soviet Union, but he also invited so many Soviet soldiers to help. This is not something you can do with money, it requires considerable strength.

The world passed by minute by minute, and everyone held their breath to watch Zhao Laoliu and the others' actions. As the discoverer of ginseng, Wallisi was even more nervous. After all, this is the ginseng that changes the fate of the family. If everything meets the requirements of this big boss in Xiangjiang, then his two sisters can study abroad and he can become a multimillionaire. And the unit is still US dollars, which is money that many people will never earn in their lifetime.

Zhao Laoliu and the others are excavating the outer layer layer by layer, and now they can see the appearance of ginseng. However, it can be seen from the excavated mound that this ginseng is really not small. Judging from the current diameter of the beard, it has exceeded 1 meter. Even ginseng has not grown this big in a hundred years.

Although Zhao Laoliu's tools are a bit primitive, the items passed down from his ancestors for thousands of years are still very useful. These tools can dig quickly without damaging the ginseng, but are still a bit slow for soldiers.

But now everything has to wait for Zhao Laoliu's excavation results, and no one dares to disturb it now.

Although Bao Zixuan was very anxious, after all, it was related to his mother's condition. But he also knew that now was not the time to be anxious. All we can do is wait patiently.

Zhao Laoliu is indeed an expert, with the combined efforts of four people. After two hours, the whole ginseng was finally dug out. Seeing the ginseng that had grown into a human shape, everyone was impressed by the magic of nature.

This is by no means a beauty that can be achieved by artificial carving. She has a girlish beauty. As if it can captivate people's hearts, Bao Zixuan knows that money and silk can captivate people's hearts. He took out the jade box that he had prepared and packed the ginseng.

Bao Zixuan said to Zhao Laoliu: "Master Zhao has worked hard. Based on your experience, can it last more than 500 years?"

Zhao Laoliu: "My boss, I think this ginseng is definitely over 600 years old. It can be said to be a rare treasure. Dr. Huang is absolutely satisfied with it."

Bao Zixuan: "Everyone has worked hard. It's too late tonight. Let's take a rest here and set off on time tomorrow. Vasily and Master Zhao, you two come with me. It's time to fulfill my promise."

In the largest tent, Bao Zixuan said to Vasily: "Mr. Vasily, do you want the 10 million US dollars in cash or into your account? If it is not convenient for you to receive it, you can put it with me. You You can withdraw it at any time. As for your sister studying abroad, they can go to any country they want. I will let Heiyun's staff in the Soviet Union contact them, you can rest assured about this."

Bao Zixuan was also worried that the money would not reach the soldier's hands, so he said this.

Vasily didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be so thoughtful, so he replied: "Thank you Mr. Bao, you can just transfer the money directly to my account when the time comes. It only needs 5 million US dollars. The rest will be given to my sister for study abroad expenses. I know you’re not short of money, but I can’t be greedy either.”

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that this Soviet boy was not greedy. It seemed that he could be trained well. Then he said: "No problem, just do as you say. If you want to develop in Heiyun in the future, you can contact me at any time."

Bao Zixuan then said to Zhao Laoliu: Master Zhao has worked very hard this time. The 100,000 US dollars will be handed over to you by the Heiyun staff when he returns to Northeast China. Also, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can contact the local Heiyun staff. This promise is only for you.

After arranging the two biggest heroes this time, Bao Zixuan began to appreciate the ginseng alone. I know it may not be the one reported in the previous life, but this one is definitely not worse than that one. It seems that there are quite a lot of treasures in the Soviet Union, and we can dig them out in the future.

Early the next morning, everyone packed up and started heading towards Komsomolsk. Going back was not as nervous as when we came back. Everyone walked toward the military camp while talking and laughing.

It took a week when I went there, but it only took 2 days when I came back. Bao Zixuan returned to Gongqingcheng with more than 10,000 people. Bao Zixuan fulfilled his promise and distributed 10,000 US dollars to everyone who followed him.

At the same time, they also gave their due share to the top military leaders of Komsomolsk of the Soviet Union. This is the rule. After everyone was satisfied, Bao Zixuan left Gongqingcheng with ginseng. Although the goal this time has been achieved, the expenditure in the Soviet Union exceeded 2.5 US dollars. This means that Bao Zixuan is rich and another person would have gone bankrupt.
