In 2016, a farmer in Leshan, Sichuan, dug up a very strange "tree root" ...... when he was collecting medicine in the mountain
In just one month, the ** of "tree roots" soared from 5,000 yuan to 2 million yuan!
What is so special about this "root"?
Song Shunmin is the farmer who unearthed this sky-high "tree root". His ancestors have lived in Bagou Town, Qianwei County, Leshan City, Sichuan Province for generations.
In April 2016, when Song Shunlin went home, he received a **, saying that a customer needed a herb and needed him to go to the mountains to pick it immediately.
After hanging up **, Song Shunlin went up the mountain without saying a word and dug up.
Who knows, Song Shunlin dug like this, but dug up a "baby", and shocked the whole village!
Song Shunlin is an honest farmer, working diligently in the fields all day long. Like his ancestors, he fed on the fields and the sky.
When the harvest is good, it can feed the family, but in bad weather, there may be no harvest, so you can only do some other work in the village to make a living.
Although Song Shunlin is a hard-working "dead brain", fortunately, Song Xiaomei has a flexible mind and sensitively discovers the business opportunities of medicinal materials.
So she started to buy and sell medicinal materials in the county, although it was a small business, but it was also more profitable than before.
Although Song Xiaomei had some money, she didn't forget her brother and proposed the idea of opening a store together. Song Shunmin felt that he had no business acumen, so he politely declined his sister's kindness.
Song Xiaomei had no choice but to ask him to help him find medicinal materials under the pretext of helping her, and then pay him some labor fees by herself. Song Shunlin pondered it and thought it was very good, so he readily agreed.
In addition to doing farm work on weekdays, Song Shunlin goes up the mountain to collect medicine, ** to his sister's pharmacy.
The siblings worked closely together and gradually improved their family's standard of living. It was under this kind of coincidence that Song Shunlin dug up the giant kudzu.
This once-in-a-lifetime miracle made him rich overnight and became a household name ......
On this day, as soon as Song Shunlin came back from the field, he received his sister's **.
His sister told him that there was a customer who needed some kudzu and told him to hurry up and go to the mountains to pick them. Song Shunlin didn't say a word, picked up the tools and walked up the mountain.
Kudzu is a very common herb, and Song Shunlin eats from the sky and the earth all year round, so he knows the environment here well.
So Song Shunlin began to dig, at first he only dug up a few small pieces of kudzu, and later he dug out a section of ordinary thickness kudzu.
When I dug down a little further, I realized that something was wrong.
The bottom of this kudzu, no matter how hard he tries, just can't pull it out.
Song Shunlin tried for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason. He could only follow the kudzu and continue to dig ......
To his surprise, the kudzu root underground was much larger than he had imagined, and it was constantly extending downward.
The complete kudzu root is far from the mutilated **.
In order to prevent the kudzu from being damaged, Song Shunlin decided to open a passage on both sides of the kudzu to loosen the soil for the kudzu.
However, this time the excavation process was equally difficult, and it took Song Shunlin more than an hour to loosen the ground on both sides and then continue to dig down.
It took two hours for Song Shunlin to dig out this huge kudzu root from the depths of the ground.
Song Shunlin was puzzled, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and even felt that he was wrong, and began to wonder if this was Gegen.
Song Shunlin held the idea that even if it wasn't kudzu, he would have other uses, and leaned the dug kudzu against the big tree on the side.
Song Shunlin was surprised to find that this kudzu looked vaguely like a "person", and from a distance, it looked like a walking "person".
Because the kudzu root was too large and he couldn't carry it, Song Shunlin called his family to help. The family carried the ground with a strap on their backs and transported the "human" type kudzu back to their home.
This movement caused a sensation in the village.
Along the way, the villagers gathered in twos and threes around the door of Song Shunlin's house and talked about it. I want to see this "human" shaped kudzu, and while looking at it, I call myself the world.
"This is a hundred-year-old tree that has been cultivated to perfection!”
"This is the village tree mother-in-law, digging it out will destroy the feng shui. ”
"This is an ordinary tree root, burn it, it's worthless. ”
"You can't just take it out and sell it, it must be worth a lot of money. ”For a while, there were different opinions, and Song Shunlin was also confused, not knowing what to do with this kudzu, and he couldn't figure out what this thing was.
At this time, Song Shunlin's little sister rushed over from the county.
She was in the medicinal herb business in the county seat, and she was well-informed, and she recognized the identity of "tree root" at a glance, and immediately told her brother that this was "kudzu".
Pueraria lobata is a very common Chinese medicine that is also known as "Asian ginseng".
It is generally picked in autumn and winter, and when it is fresh, it is cut into thick slices or small pieces and dried, which has the effects of anti-inflammatory, diaphragm, and dredging meridians.
It is mainly used for the treatment of external heat, headache, backache, etc., and its medicinal properties are recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and other traditional Chinese medicine classics.
Song Shunlin measured it with a ruler, and this thick kudzu root was four meters two long and weighed two hundred and fifty catties.
This is just that Song Shunlin deliberately removed the excess part in order to facilitate handling.
You must know that ordinary kudzu is only about 20 centimeters at most, although there are some longer than 20 centimeters, but they are also rare, not to mention that Song Shunlin excavated such a large one.
Song Shunlin plans to give part of this giant kudzu to his sister to make arrowroot powder, and the rest will be given as gifts to some relatives and friends in need.
The younger sister stopped him in time, and immediately warned the eldest brother not to listen to the gossip of the people in the village, nor to take out this kudzu root to sell at will, let alone use it as firewood.
Others may not be able to see anything, but she is clear, if this kind of kudzu is in the hands of experts, it is definitely priceless.
Song Shunlin was skeptical of his sister's words, in his opinion, although this kudzu root was big, it was just a very ordinary medicinal material.
As a result, as Song Xiaomei expected, the news that Song Shunlin had discovered a huge "humanoid" kudzu root spread.
Soon, a knowledgeable "big boss" heard the news and wanted to buy this huge kudzu for 5,000 yuan.
But Song Xiaomei, who knew how to do it, said that if you wait, don't worry, someone will definitely come again.
Song Shunlin didn't understand ......This kudzu is an ordinary medicinal herb, except that it looks like a running giant, there is nothing special.
As a result, Song Xiaomei expected it again, and this time it was a Chongqing Chinese herbal medicine boss who came to the door, and directly offered 700,000 yuan.
At this time, Song Shunlin finally realized what his sister said, this kudzu root is probably worth far more than that.
Song Shunlin, who came to his senses, directly refused. After a while, two more people came, both wanting to buy kudzu from him.
One of them even offered 900,000 **, Song Shunlin and Song Xiaomei couldn't hold their breath, and discussed selling it to him directly according to this **.
Coincidentally, Mr. Wang, a wealthy businessman born in the 70s, also came to Bagou Town at the same time, and like the people before him, he wanted to buy a huge kudzu root from Song Shunlin.
Song Shunlin pretended to be entangled and hinted to Mr. Wang that he had promised to sell it to another boss for 900,000 yuan. Mr. Wang said that he could give a higher ** and was willing to pay 1 million.
Song Shunlin decisively agreed, and the two sides reached a deal verbally, and Mr. Wang thought that his deal was stable.
Who would have thought that Song Shunlin went home and pondered with his family, and the next day he directly doubled and quoted a sky-high price of 2 million.
Mr. Wang was angry with his backsliding, and began to retreat when he heard this.
But on second thought: if such a large "humanoid kudzu" is used as the logo of the company's brand, placed in the headquarters to promote the company's culture and education, it will definitely attract many businessmen and consumers.
So he gritted his teeth and agreed, worried about regeneration, and immediately finalized the contract with Song Shunlin.
Song Shunlin knew that what he was doing was not kind, so he cheekily asked Boss Wang what he did. It turned out that this boss Wang ran a large beverage factory.
The main sale is a plant-based drink, buy this back to prepare for publicity, and hit a wave of real advertising for the raw materials of the drinks produced by the company.
In order to transport this huge kudzu root, Boss Wang also specially transferred a refrigerated truck from the factory.
And ask someone to carefully embalm this huge kudzu root before transporting it out.
I heard that Boss Wang's company is open to the public on a regular basis.
This huge kudzu has become a huge selling point, and Boss Wang really did not guess this huge "humanoid" kudzu root, attracting a lot of partners and customers for him, and directly making a lot of money.
The villagers watched the big cars pass by with mixed feelings, and their hearts were full of envy and jealousy.
Who would have thought that Song Shunlin, who has been farming for generations, would actually dig up such a big "treasure" with "shit luck".
For a time, digging kudzu was popular in the village, but not everyone could have such good luck.
Song Shunlin never thought that the huge tree root he accidentally found could be sold for two million. From then on, he no longer had to worry about money.
