Chapter 45: Worthless
Seeing the old man's angry expression, Bai Chi smiled and turned his head to look at the medicinal herb stall owner on the side.
"Boss, have you ever eaten Ganoderma lucidum?" Bai Chi asked the herb stall owner.
"Where can we eat that thing, but I've seen it. The herb stall owner said.
Although he didn't understand why Bai Chi suddenly asked this, when he thought that Bai Chi was here to help him, he answered honestly.
Bai Chi heard the answer of the herb stall owner and nodded.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten it, just see it. Bai Chi said.
As he spoke, Bai Chi handed the pieced-together lingzhi-shaped object in his hand to the medicinal herb stall owner.
"Then do you see if this is Ganoderma lucidum?" Bai Chi asked the herb stall owner again.
The herb stall owner took the lingzhi-like object and looked at it, sniffed it with his nose, and soon his face showed a look of doubt, and after thinking for a while, he said with some hesitation: "This shape, this smell, is indeed very close to the lingzhi, but the color doesn't seem to be right, and the strange pattern on it, is it a mutated lingzhi?"
Bai Chi smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's right, if you can tell from the appearance and smell, this thing is indeed somewhat similar to Ganoderma lucidum, and it is difficult for ordinary people to identify it, but ......"
The old man saw Bai Chi pointing at it, saying that he wanted to say that his Lingzhi was fake, and he was naturally unconvinced, he saw that Bai Chi was less than twenty years old at most, and he was dressed in rustic clothes, and at first glance he was a hairy boy who had just come out of the countryside, maybe this Lingzhi was the first time he saw it today, what can he understand?
"But what? if you really understand, you can say it quickly, and if you don't understand, you can go to the side, a freshly weaned baby, what kind of garlic is here?" said the old man, very unpleasant and impatient.
Bai Chi smiled, not angry, shook the lingzhi-shaped object in his hand in front of the old man, and said, "Old man, don't worry, first look at the lingzhi you said in your mouth, what does the pattern on its umbrella cover look like?"
"It's all broken like this, how can I see what it looks like?" said the old man.
In fact, the old man didn't need to look at it anymore, he naturally knew what he had brought with him.
This old man was a medicine farmer in a small town on the outskirts of Guicheng, this Ganoderma lucidum-like thing was actually accidentally discovered when he went up the mountain to collect medicine, in fact, he himself couldn't be sure whether it was Ganoderma lucidum, the reason why he brought this thing to this medicinal material market, just wanted to try his luck, in case this is really Ganoderma lucidum, such a big one, if he sells it, it is estimated that he will not have to worry about breaking his leg for the rest of his life, and on the way he came, he has already planned his life path from tomorrow five or six times, and now some people actually say that this is not Ganoderma lucidum, and it is strange that he suffersγ
"Hehe, since the old gentleman doesn't say it, then forget it, but, if I'm not mistaken, the place where the old gentleman got this thing is in the cemetery, right?"
"You...... How do you know?"
The old man's face changed, and the eyes that looked at Bai Chi became strange, and his expression directly proved that what Bai Chi said was true.
"Hehe, my family has practiced medicine for generations, I followed my grandfather to identify herbs when I was three years old, I was familiar with the Three Sages Pharmacopoeia when I was five years old, and at the age of eight I was already able to memorize the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Shennong Baicao Jing" upside down, what do you say I don't understand?" Bai Chi said with a smile.
Although he said the truth, to outsiders, this is definitely quite shameless cowhide.
No, as soon as Bai Chi's words fell, a middle-aged onlooker next to him came out to dismantle the stage.
"Young man, since you are so powerful, what do you say this is?"
Bai Chi glanced at the middle-aged man and said unhurriedly: "This thing is not recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Shennong's Hundred Herbs". β
As a result, as soon as Bai Chi's voice fell, there was a boo from the onlookers, but at this time Bai Chi continued: "However, I really know this thing, it is recorded in my family's ancestral Three Holy Pharmacopoeia, Ghost Zhi, also known as Absolute Yang Grass, Yin Qi breeds, like a cow's ear, a ghost face, highly poisonous, and the gods cannot be saved if they take it for three days." β
Hearing Bai Chi say this, everyone around noticed that the patchwork thing in Bai Chi's hand really looked a little similar to a cow's ear, and the pattern on it also looked like the face of a demon.
At this time, everyone began to believe what Bai Chi said, but how did they know that what Bai Chi said was only half-truths and half-truths, and the true evidence recorded that the ghost mushroom was a divine pesticide codei, and where was the Three Holy Pharmacopoeia?
And the old man listened to what Bai Chi said so mysteriously, but it didn't seem like he was joking, so he naturally began to believe what Bai Chi said, and when he thought that thing might be extremely poisonous, he couldn't help but be scared for a while, and at the same time he was glad that this thing had not been sold to others, otherwise it would really poison people, and it would be murder for money.
However, in addition to fear, there is more disappointment, after all, the life path he has planned with so many brain cells is about to become a dream bubble.
Bai Chi glanced at the old man who was still suffering from gains and losses, and said with a smile: "But sir, you don't have to be sad, this thing may be poisonous in other people's hands, but in my hands it is medicine." β
When the old man heard this, he really came to his senses, and looked at Bai Chi expectantly.
"And how much do you think this thing is worth?"
Bai Chi glanced at the broken shapeless ghost zhi fragment in his hand and said: "To be honest, this thing is very out-of-the-way, it can be said that it is very valuable, or it can be said that it is worthless, so let's do it, I will give you 100,000 yuan, and I will wrap all the things in your package for you." β
"One hundred thousand?"
Bai Chi's words not only shocked the old man, but even the surrounding onlookers and the medicinal herb stall owner were all incredible, especially Lin Xueyao, who was directly startled.
At this time, Lin Xueyao couldn't wait to rush up and kick Bai Chi to the ground, but when she thought that that thing was not the medicinal material needed on the previous medicine list, she didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Anyway, I'm only going to give the money for those seven kinds of medicinal herbs, and you can do whatever you like about the rest, I'm here to see if you can come up with 100,000 yuan.
Thinking of the unlucky appearance when Bai Chi couldn't come up with the money later, Lin Xueyao had an urge to laugh.
On the other side, Bai Chi glanced at the old man who was covered with 100,000 yuan like fog, rain and wind, still smiling.
"Sir, don't worry, you can think about it slowly, of course, if you are afraid that I will lie to you, you can also refuse. β
"Oh, when I see the young man, you are a real person, how can you lie to my old man, 100,000 is 100,000, and I will give you the package together. β
