Chapter 1347: : Chinese Medicine Trading Center

The two were sitting in the taxi, and the taxi driver looked at them and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"
"Brother driver, let's go to the Chinese medicine trading center market." Ye Chen said.
Hearing that he was going to the Chinese medicine trading market, the taxi driver drove there directly. Originally, the downtown area of ​​Bozhou City was not too large, and the trading center was located in the center of the city. It took less than 20 minutes to drive there.
"Visitors come to Bozhou without being in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Trading Center, they do not count as having been to Bozhou." said the taxi driver.
I'm afraid the citizens in Bozhou say that.
Although the sales of the Chinese medicine trading center are all related to Chinese medicine, it is a very strong Chinese medicine city, but in many cases, it is not necessary to buy medicine to see it.
Of course, some of the traditional Chinese medicines that are necessary for ordinary families, including potions, ointments, and heart-relief pills, are cheap, and it is also very good to buy them back for later use.
The taxi driver stopped the car and Ye Chen paid the taxi fare. Ye Chen took Yang Jingya's hand and got out of the car. He already smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine. .
He took Yang Jingya and continued walking forward, and saw the central square of the trading center with the inscription of the former state leader: "Hua Tuo's hometown, hometown of medicinal materials".
In addition, there is a brand of ‘Finance Billing’.
The third most obvious is the statue of Hua Tuo.
I am afraid that those tourists who come here must take pictures here first.
When Ye Chen saw this, he just knew that he had come to the Chinese Medicine Trading Center in Bozhou City. Ye Chen took Yang Jingya and walked forward to the pharmacies in front.
At a glance, I first saw rows of Chinese medicine shops, as many restaurants as usual on the roadside.
Of course, if you are in other small towns in the country, you can usually see two or three such Chinese medicine stores, it is already good.
In Shanghai, there are very few such specialty stores of Chinese medicine. Generally, they are mainly based on large pharmacies. In addition to selling Chinese medicinal materials, they also sell Chinese patent medicines, western medicines, etc., which are completely different from what they are now. They are all specialized in selling Chinese herbal medicines.
Although Yang Jingya is also from the University of Chinese Medicine and majored in Chinese Medicine, she is still unfamiliar with Chinese Medicine, and the main understanding is still in textbooks.
Now being pulled here by Ye Chen, apart from the strong smell of Chinese medicinal materials, she just felt that Ye Chen felt excited.
Ye Chen has learned the importance of Chinese medicine since elementary school Chinese medicine. This is like when a person has a gun to shoot. In many cases, the Chinese medicine is like the bullet of a gun.
Although Ye Chen is familiar with Chinese medicine and acupuncture, most of them still rely on traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Therefore, now that so many Chinese medicines are concentrated here, the excitement is naturally self-evident.
Ye Chen took Yang Jingya into one of the pharmacies. The staff in the shop didn’t seem to be too many. There were only two female clerks, a lady proprietress who looked at the shop, and other customers who came to buy medicine or see medicinal materials. Basically it looks loose.
According to the introduction of the Bozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Trading Center, the daily traffic here is between 30,000 and 50,000, which is about the same as the number of people in a relatively large undergraduate university.
This is the usual daily flow rate, but if it is concentrated on the medicinal material trading day, the daily flow rate at that time may be ten times higher than usual. Twenty times more likely. Medicinal material dealers all over the country trade with medicinal material dealers here. Either sell medicinal materials here, or wholesale a large amount of medicinal materials from here.
Therefore, it is not a day of concentrated trading, and Ye Chen can't see the grand occasion of such trading. However, I feel that it is good now. When he brought Yang Jingya in, the clerk saw that the two were just watching and didn't say anything. Instead, it made Ye Chen feel like buying something in a supermarket.
The reason why many people like to buy things in supermarkets is that the supermarket has enough daily necessities for citizens to use, etc.; secondly, the most important thing is that you can choose what you want to choose. There is someone next to me who is whispering to you.
Now this pharmacy is the same. There are all kinds of Chinese medicines inside and outside the shop, some in the medicine cabinet, and some in the bags. Ye Chen only needs to look at it, and he has already recognized what Chinese medicine these are.
According to the introduction of the trading center, there are more than 2,600 kinds of Chinese medicine here, and there may be only a few hundred kinds of Chinese medicine that are usually used.
From this point, it can be explained that the Chinese medicines concentrated here are everything.
"Madame, is this wild ginseng?" Ye Chen picked up a pinky-sized ginseng and asked the middle-aged woman.
In ancient times, the ancients discovered the medicinal value of ginseng and it has always been used as the rarest medicinal material. Therefore, since ancient times, many wild ginseng, especially those in Changbai Mountain, have been dug up by people in the northeast and North Korea, resulting in less and less wild ginseng.
It can be said that the value of wild ginseng is much better than the efficacy of artificially planted ginseng. Now Ye Chen picked up this little finger-sized ginseng. If it was grown wild, it would take about 20 to 30 years or even longer. To be like this.
However, most of the ginseng circulating in the market is grown artificially. On the one hand, there is too much demand for wild ginseng. On the other hand, wild ginseng is too small. In some parts of the Northeast, the state has to protect the remaining wild ginseng, so , Medicinal farmers can only grow more ginseng through artificial planting.
Like today, the more famous places for artificially planted ginseng include Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, and even Russia, Japan, South Korea and other places in addition to the Northeast.
Among them, because of ginseng, the largest Chinese medicine trading center is located in Liaoning, but Ye Chen has never been to it.
Ye Chen and his grandfather Ye Dao have known Chinese medicine since childhood, including those rare medicinal materials, such as ginseng and ganoderma. However, although Shennongjia is known as the World Botanical Bank, there are a variety of plants, including various Chinese medicines, but there is no wild ginseng, precisely because the environment where the real wild ginseng grows is different from that of Shennongjia.
However, it was later artificially planted in the periphery of Shennongjia. Ye Chen and Ye Dao tried to cultivate the effect. It is still not as good as the place of origin, and the efficacy of the medicine is naturally greatly reduced.
Now the artificially planted ones are less effective than the wild ones, but they are equally graded. Like the pangolin pieces that Ye Chen learned about, they are divided into three grades: high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade.
These Chinese medicinal materials, including rare medicinal materials such as ginseng, are divided more strictly. If it is just ordinary artificially planted ginseng, the planting age is only two or three years, maybe one piece will cost ten yuan or twenty yuan.
