Chapter 171: Nine Yin White Bone Claw
There is also a name for the mountain wind, which is called the king cobra.
It is often found in southwest and southern China, and is one of the most feared venomous snakes in Asia.
Generally speaking, this poisonous snake-infused medicinal wine has quite a remarkable miraculous effect on the treatment of rheumatism.
In addition, it can also have the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood and qi.
But......
Zheng Shaoqiu only glanced at it cursoryly and then looked away.
Soon, the medicinal herbs were placed on the colored cloth by the vendors, and there were all kinds of them.
On the left are some common mountain ginseng, gastrodia, Chuanbei, Poria cocos, forsythia, two large jars of medicinal wine are placed in the middle position, and there are some colorful snake skins, round and dry snake gall bones.
On the right, there are some seedlings that are old.
For example, an arrow, a golden chain, fairy peach grass, star anise, seven-leaf flower, etc., the varieties are relatively rare and valuable.
In addition to these, there are some bones in the corners, the bones of various beasts, and it is unknown what kind of breed they are.
There are calf bones about half a foot long, skulls the size of footballs, some teeth that look very sharp, and phalanges, which vary in length and size.
As far as the eye can see, it is dark and exudes a disgusting smell, and just looking at it from a distance makes people shy away and don't want to get closer.
There were several waves of buyers who stopped a meter away and glanced at it, and then asked about the price of Miao Yao, their faces turned dark, and without saying a word, they turned around and left.
There are also old men who really understand the market, looking at the stall with great interest, looking at it for a long time, and then stretching out his hand to make a gesture.
The stall owner nodded, then pulled a paw from a nearby cloth pocket and handed it over.
The claws are pure white throughout, with a fork-like front and five toes, which look similar to jade.
The old man took the paw in his hand, and then leaned under his nose, the wings of his nose were slightly raised, and the smile on his face grew, and then he passed it to the old man behind him.
Both of them checked and confirmed that they were correct, and then nodded.
Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly took two steps forward, came to the two of them, squatted down and whispered to each other.
As he spoke, he gestured to the bulging cloth pocket.
"Mr. Zheng, what are those claws?"
Anji was a little confused, she was quite familiar with medicinal materials, but she didn't understand this aspect at all.
Zheng Shaoqiu pursed his lips when he heard this, and said softly: "That's the claw of the pangolin." ”
Hearing this, Anji subconsciously frowned, and her face changed slightly.
The claws of pangolins have all sorts of incredible uses, such as iron, anemia, and evil spirits.
Just like the black donkey's hooves.
Legend has it that when there is a dip in the gold captain, a must-have item is a pangolin.
Zheng Shaoqiu didn't pay attention to so much, and directly bent down and searched for it in the black and scattered pile of bones.
After a while, he picked up a bone about a finger long, put it under his nose and smelled it.
"How much does this cost?"
The stall owner was bargaining with the two old men, it seemed that both sides were not very satisfied with the price, and they were a little impatient, after hearing Zheng Shaoqiu's words, he glanced at it with slanted eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "Old antelope toe bone, if you want to take it, a hundred yuan." ”
After saying that, he patiently argued with the old man again.
In his opinion, Zheng Shaoqiu's side is completely a small business, if he can sell all the things in the cloth pocket, then today will not be in vain.
Although the other party's attitude was very perfunctory, Zheng Shaoqiu didn't care at all, put the old antelope's phalange back in place, lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took a deep breath.
Half an hour later, he picked and picked among the piles of bones.
"What about this piece, how to sell it?"
The stall owner was about to talk about the excitement, when he was interrupted again, his face was obviously a little gloomy, he glanced at it, and waved his hand impatiently: "Take it fifty!"
Zheng Shaoqiu didn't care when he heard this, he looked at it over and over again, and then asked, "How about thirty?"
"I'll take it to work on bone carvings!"
"If you agree, I'll ask for more!"
It was interrupted several times in succession, and not only the stall owner was a little impatient, but even the two old men who bought the pangolin claws were a little unhappy.
"Sell him, a little money, it's annoying. ”
One buyer, who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, waved his hand and said unceremoniously.
The stall owner pursed his lips when he heard this, glared at Zheng Shaoqiu, and shouted, "You can pick it yourself, I'm busy here." ”
Zheng Shaoqiu nodded and did not reply.
He looked back and forth in the pile of bones, fiddling with it from time to time, then picked up a piece and looked at it over and over for a long time before putting it back.
And the stall owner and the two old men also entered the final stage of bargaining, arguing with red faces and foaming at the mouth, obviously no one was willing to give in.
Anji was a little bored on the side, squatting beside Zheng Shaoqiu, and did not dislike it, picking up a bone and looking at it over and over again.
"Brother Zheng, what kind of bones do you want to use, I'll help you choose. ”
Zheng Shaoqiu pursed his lips when he heard this, and said casually: "There are no specific requirements, and I am also interested......"
Hearing this, the old man on the side screamed, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and said with a smile: "I think the biggest bone is quite suitable, it looks like it's quite penetrating, like Zhou Zhiruo's Nine Yin White Bone Claws......
Zheng Shaoqiu laughed twice when he heard this, took the fast finger bone in his hand, looked at it twice, then put it back, and then picked up the skull next to it.
"That skull is also a baby, look at the small hole on it, it was obviously poked by the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, hahaha. ”
Noticing Zheng Shaoqiu's movements, the old man said happily again.
The other buyer also laughed with disdain when he heard this.
By now, it seemed that the price had been agreed, and the old man took out two thick piles of money directly from the satchel on his waist in front of Zheng Shaoqiu, fanned them twice, and handed them to the stall owner.
The stall owner quietly took it in his hand, took off the rubber band on it, and counted them one by one: "One, two, three......"
At this time, Zheng Shaoqiu had basically finished choosing, there were about a dozen bones of different sizes and shapes, and finally the skull was added, as for Zhou Zhiruo's Nine Yin White Bone Claw, he didn't want it.
"Do the math, how much does it all add up. ”
"I just counted, it should be thirteen. ”
The stall owner was counting to fifty-three, and was interrupted by Zheng Shaoqiu's two sentences, and glanced at it roughly with slanted eyes, but he didn't look carefully.
