Chapter 1534 A stroke of genius(2/2)
Ginseng is graded not only by size and age, but also by appearance and so on. Anyway, there are related grading methods.
However, as long as it is fourth-grade or above ginseng, it is considered good ginseng, and dried ginseng is usually more than one or two.
According to the ratio of five taels to one tael, this amount of dried ginseng will cost more than five taels of fresh ginseng, and the age is more than twenty years.
For comparison, Shu Shu also asked Ging Guo to bring a box of fourth-grade ginseng from her home pharmacy and compare it.
Third-grade ginseng has a short and thick trunk and more complete roots.
Brother Jiu picked up one with both hands and said: "Fourth-grade ginseng costs seven or eight taels of silver and one tael, and third-grade ginseng costs four taels of gold and one tael. I didn't ask about the second-grade ginseng, but it must be twice as much as the third-grade ginseng!"
"
Shu Shu knew that ginseng was expensive, but she never expected it to be so expensive.
Forty taels of silver is like this...
As long as you bring out one piece, it will equal the salary of a seventh-grade treasurer for one year.
It's really hard not to be tempted by such a big temptation.
Looking at the long ginseng whiskers and the relatively fragile reed heads, Brother Jiu said: "We usually put ginseng in a big box with pine needles underneath to prevent the reed heads and whiskers from being shaken off. But
There is no way to carry the box, and it is not easy to hide this thing on the body, otherwise the reed heads and ginseng whiskers will be broken, and then even the fourth-grade ginseng will not be complete, and it will become fifth-grade..."
Shu Shu said: "Why are you thinking about this? There should still be a box, but it doesn't need to be inspected through the palace gate and comes out through other channels..."
Brother Jiu said: "Just wait, this fire is not only caused by Guangshuku, I'm afraid the imperial kitchen is not innocent either..."
The most transported things in the palace are the royal kitchen, from which all kinds of kitchen waste must be transported.
Shu Shu looked a little weird and said: "In addition to the imperial dining room, there is another place where things are transported regularly."
The ninth elder brother wondered: "Why don't you know? Is it the internal manufacturing office? There is a lot of time to transport materials there, but the finished products are all put into the Guangshu warehouse..."
Shu Shu said: "The things belonging to the official palace are transported out of the palace on the fourth day of each month in autumn and winter, and on the fourth and ninth days of each month in summer..."
There are 9,999 rooms in the Forbidden City, but there are no toilets.
From the emperor to the eunuchs and maids, there are toilets, which are commonly known as "official rooms".
The elder brother who lived in Shushu for a year and a half was no exception, so he knew about it.
Brother Jiu's face turned blue, he quickly put down the ginseng in his hand, looked at Shu Shu, and was speechless for a long time.
Shu Shu said with a smile: "The ginseng I am holding is from Ningshou Palace. It was not shipped out privately from the palace. Even if it was shipped out privately, it may not be the way I said."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I can't tell you what I'm talking about. Last year, I checked the kitchen waste in the Imperial Kitchen. If it was really related to the Guangchusi, I couldn't find out at all. Moreover, the Guangchusi and the Imperial Kitchen are two different things.
Yamen, this kind of money-making thing should not be known to outsiders..."

I went out for half a day yesterday, and today I have cold symptoms and a low-grade fever. I lay down all afternoon, 555, and Xiaojiu's skin is also crispy.
