Chen Meihui, a Taiwanese, lives in Shoushan, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. Chen Meihui is a counter employee at a convenience store in Shoushan. She is mainly responsible for helping the boss purchase goods and visiting the store.
On the evening of July 21, 2021, Chen Meihui returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors. As a result, when she was cleaning the old house, she unexpectedly found a box of Korean ginseng gift box that was produced in 1993 and had a history of 28 years. Moreover, this box of Korean ginseng was The ginseng is still unpacked. The outside of the
gift box says "Hua Qitang", and the words "Han Guan Feng Korean Ginseng" are engraved on the bottom. Chen Meihui opened the gift box and saw that in addition to Korean ginseng, it also came with a guarantee letter, which stated that the ginseng in the gift box was wrapped, the category was "6 to 9 years old" Korean ginseng, and the grade was premium ginseng. , there is also a "Tianzihao" voucher, a letter of guarantee and an official seal. The year 1993 is written on the seal.
There is a piece of paper in the inner box with the word "天" (天), the highest grade of ginseng, and below it is an official-sealed ginseng monopoly certificate. Chen Meihui saw that the front of this box of Korean ginseng gift was marked "Internationally recognized - the world's highest-grade ginseng". Chen Meihui thought that this box of ginseng might be extraordinary, so she posted the picture of the Korean ginseng gift box on Facebook. The result immediately attracted many netizens to leave messages.
A netizen left a message saying that old ginseng slices are more valuable as they get older, and suggested that she take them to a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for appraisal, and maybe she will really make a fortune. However, Chen Meihui checked online and found that aged Korean ginseng slices are sold on some auction sites. The transaction prices at major auction houses are indeed high.
For example, in July 2017, at the Xiling Yinshe first nourishment and health sale, a box of Cheonggwanjang Korean ginseng produced in 1995 from the Republic of Korea Tobacco and Ginseng Corporation was auctioned for a high price of 69,000 yuan, and the older it was, the higher it was. , the higher the auction price of Korean ginseng.
After Chen Meihui saw these auction prices, she couldn't help but feel how beautiful they were. Since the news that she found aged Korean ginseng in her old house spread in the neighborhood, many buyers have rushed to her house, wanting to buy it. See the true face of ginseng.
On July 22, 2021, the day after Chen Meihui discovered the aged ginseng, her neighbor Zhang Shufang took the initiative to come to her door. Chen Meihui showed Zhang Shufang the Korean ginseng she discovered and showed her the aged Korean ginseng in recent years. Check out the transaction prices at major auction houses.
In order to avoid advertising, mosaic processing was used.
After hearing this, Zhang Shufang was probably a little moved. She said that her daughter-in-law was in confinement recently and was worried about not being able to buy supplements. She planned to buy Chen Meihui’s Korean ginseng. Chen Meihui asked Zhang Shufang if she could How much money to pay? Zhang Shufang said that as a favor to the folks in her hometown, she could sell it to her for NT$130,000 (equivalent to about 30,000 yuan in RMB).
Chen Meihui looked embarrassed after hearing this. In fact, Chen Meihui didn't want to sell to this neighbor because she knew that the relationship between Zhang Shufang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always been bad. As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is a crime or a theft. How could she do it? Suddenly I was so kind to buy supplements for my daughter-in-law.
Chen Meihui felt that the other party just wanted to take advantage of her, so even though Zhang Shufang kept stalking her, she just refused to sell. On July 30, 2021, Chen Meihui took the Korean ginseng she found to the Taipei City Stamp and Coin Center for identification.
As a result, after the expert took a closer look at the Korean ginseng brought by Chen Meihui, he poured cold water on her. The expert said that generally speaking, the shelf life of Korean ginseng is only 20 years. Of course, if it is stored well and there are no insects, it can still be used. It is edible, but he does not recommend this. Chen Meihui said that the Korean ginseng she brought was more than 28 years old, and he thought it had passed its shelf life.
In addition, experts say that most of the Korean ginseng that is auctioned in auction houses is Cheong Kwan Jang brand. Even if other brands are auctioned, the price is only very high. The most important point is that if it is genuine Korean Tianzi ginseng, in order To avoid spoilage, they are usually packed in iron boxes. For example, the Korean ginseng brought by Chen Meihui is packed in a paper box and a wooden box, which does not feel like the genuine product.
Chen Meihui was very frustrated after hearing what the expert said. She asked the expert if she could still eat it. The expert paused and hesitated and said that she could try it, but he still did not recommend it.
