Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 53 Centennial Polygonum multiflorum

When he came to the demolition area, he began to look for the houses where the residents had moved.

This time he walked to the Pawn Shop Street, near the two-room, two-story house where he hunted for treasure on the morning of his resignation.

Soon, Wu Yuansheng discovered an old house that also had a yard. This household's house only had one floor and was a three-room historical building.

Looking from the outside of the house, the courtyard wall and the walls of the house are all made of blue bricks.

The gate to the yard is an old solid wood door. It is thick and has some traces of weathering over the years. It looks very old.

The door was smashed by the demolishers and randomly placed next to the door frame.

Wu Yuansheng glanced at the door and the ground in the yard, and found that there were no broken glass or nails, so he rode his tricycle directly into the yard.

He was worried when he parked outside, fearing that someone passing by would steal the battery of an electric vehicle.

After parking the car, he began to look around the yard.

The yard is neither big nor small. Except for the kitchen, woodshed, bathroom and other small houses built together with the main house many years ago, no other houses have been built.

A large vat was placed in the yard near the kitchen. Someone had smashed a hole in the vat and it looked like it was new.

There were some large jars that were smaller than the big jars. The jars were placed near the jars, and some of them looked like they had been smashed by bricks as well.

There is a grape vine and a large fig tree planted on both sides of the yard near the gate. These two trees have not been damaged.

There must be no grapes on the vines, but there are still many large figs on the fig tree, but unfortunately they are not ripe yet, otherwise he would definitely pick some to taste.

A large old stone millstone and a medium-sized bluestone roller were placed not far from the vines.

In addition to these two fruit trees, there are also some flower pots in the yard, and some flower pots are also planted with flowers and plants.

Some of the flower pots and the flowers and plants grown in them were also smashed and fell to the ground.

When he saw the flowerpot, he walked over, searched around, and found a blue and white porcelain flowerpot with an orchid pattern painted on the surface that looked good.

There is also a pot of orchids planted in this flower pot, which is green and beautiful.

He didn't pour the soil and grass out into the flower pot, but took it directly to the tricycle.

Because it looked good, he decided to bring it to a rental house to raise it. The water he changed two days before Tai Sui was poured into the basin. He was too busy to buy fish and raise it.

When we go back, we can use that water to pour some water into it.

This pot of orchids can also be brought to a newly purchased house and placed on the balcony.

He did not ask for some other flower pots, including the flowers planted in them.

The main reason is that those flower pots are not good. He is looking for the flower pots. If there are good flower pots, he may bring the flowers and plants in them with him.

After placing the flowerpot, he walked towards the courtyard wall.

From a distance before, he had seen some plants growing on the edge of the courtyard wall and on the wall.

After getting closer, he looked at the stems and leaves of the plants crawling on the ground and on the walls of the old courtyard, and found that they were actually the stems and leaves of Polygonum multiflorum.

Regarding Polygonum multiflorum, he heard others talk about it when he was hunting for treasures in demolition areas in his previous life.

I remember what people told him at that time, saying that there was a recycling person who, probably around 2014, went to the demolition area to collect things.

One time, the man went to a family compound to collect scraps and found that a resident had polygonum multiflorum planted in front of his house.

At that time, the residents of the family home had almost moved out, and the family who grew Polygonum multiflorum had also moved away long ago.

Many people pass by there every day, but no one knows it is Polygonum multiflorum.

This recycling person also passed by there for the first time. He happened to know the medicinal herbs, and then he discovered the Polygonum multiflorum.

Later, he returned home, took tools such as shovels, and started digging up the Polygonum multiflorum in that place.

Because it was planted by someone else, the roots were not very deep, and the person quickly dug them out.

After digging, he weighed the largest Polygonum multiflorum and found that it weighed three kilograms.Including the other ones dug up, they weighed almost twenty kilograms in total. They were taken out and bought by someone to make wine.

The recycling guy sold it for almost 2000 yuan.

Later, someone told him that it was cheaper because the Polygonum multiflorum he bought was a rare medicinal material that had been around for more than a hundred years.

Although the person who did the recycling dug the Polygonum multiflorum in front of the house, the person who planted it in the past also transplanted it from other places.

It is very likely that the old man in the family is no longer there, and the descendants did not pay attention to this, so they ignored this herb.

The person who told Wu Yuansheng about this also told him that basically none of the Polygonum multiflorum that is sold in the world for more than a hundred years has a history of more than a hundred years.Even if there is, it won't be cheap.

If you think about it, you will know that throughout the ages, medicinal materials have been dug up everywhere.Especially in ancient times, there were more people digging for medicinal herbs. They were dug out not to mention hundreds of years, but even decades.

Nowadays, some fake people use human-shaped model boxes to cultivate Polygonum multiflorum, wait for fertilization to grow for a few years, and then graft wild seedlings on top, and grow for another two years, pretending to be old.

In fact, compared with the medicinal effect of Polygonum multiflorum cultivated in this way and that of genuine Polygonum multiflorum that is more than a hundred years old, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

Regarding the digging, preservation and processing of Polygonum multiflorum, others also briefly talked about it, saying that iron should not be touched and it is best not to use iron knives when processing.

If you want to preserve it for a short time, it is best to bring soil, stems and leaves. For a longer time, you need tedious steps such as steaming and drying.

After that person said that, when Wu Yuansheng visited the flower and bird market, he went to the place where various flowers and bonsais were planted to see the stems and leaves of Polygonum multiflorum, and he became quite familiar with it.

The Polygonum multiflorum I saw now in the house of the resident who had moved out had no idea how long it had been growing.

The main reason is that I don’t know how long the Polygonum multiflorum had been growing before this household dug it from other places and planted it here.

Perhaps it had grown for more than a hundred years before.

As for the age of the Polygonum multiflorum in this place, he would only know it after digging it out, but he didn't know much about the age of this medicinal herb.

"To dig or not to dig?"

If he digs it, he hasn't contacted the person who needs it yet, he can't use it now, and he won't save it if he digs it.

If you don't dig it, if someone comes in and sees it and recognizes it, they might dig it away.

Forget it, let’s clean up the things in this house first.

Whether to dig or not, we will see later.

There are grape vines, figs, pomegranate trees, osmanthus trees, pepper trees and many other useful trees seen in other parts of the demolition area as well as various flowers and plants in this yard.

In fact, no matter which one it is, it has value.

When I get my driver's license in a while, I will definitely dig some useful fruit trees and bring back some flowers and trees when I go back to my hometown.

No longer paying attention to Polygonum multiflorum, he walked into the kitchen.

Like most kitchens in old houses, this one looked shabby.

The stove was also an old wood-burning stove, and the two large iron pots at the front and back were taken away by others.

The walls of the kitchen and the wood on the roof beams were dark, which were the traces left by years of cooking in this place.

There is also a small solid wood table, a few chairs, a cabinet, and various kitchen supplies.

After searching inside, he found a pastel small sugar bowl with a flower "囍" in the character.

A small green-glazed fine Japanese-style basin with a top diameter of about 30 centimeters and a bottom diameter of about 25 centimeters.

There were many other things, including plates, bowls, bottles and jars, but nothing of particular value, so he didn't ask for them.

He wrapped these two things with two newspapers in the drawer of the kitchen cabinet, and found a large, sturdy convenience bag to put them in. He took the things and walked out of the kitchen.

After locking these two things into the small box in the tricycle compartment, Wu Yuansheng went to the woodshed bathroom to look again. He found nothing particularly valuable, so he walked towards the three main rooms.
