It was not until later that with the change of the environment, the small things of the habitat, and the development of society, the tiger species was on the verge of extinction.

There are now only more than 20 Siberian tigers left in the Daxing'an Mountains, the total number of South China tigers is not much, only more than 100, and the Bengal tigers inhabit Tibetan areas, and the number is not large.

It is precisely because of this that tiger bones have now become a very cherished Chinese medicinal material.

First of all, it is certain that tigers in captivity are inferior to wild ones in all respects, which is an objective fact, and the price of domestic pigs and wild boars is also several times different, all of which are the same reason.

Of course, the main thing is that now the tiger is a national first-class protected animal, and no one has the courage to hunt it.

So, this kind of thing has no price at all.

Since the tiger bone cannot be found, but there is a way to do it, so in a long time, the Chinese medicine master began to gradually explore, replacing it with the bones of other animals, and even top biological researchers invented artificial tiger bone powder.

But......

Can it really be the same?

It's just a gimmick.

The tiger is known as the king of beasts, can you really use the bones of other animals to achieve the same effect?

If it was really that simple, Abin's huge wolf dog would not smell the smell of tiger bones and be so frightened that he lost control directly, and his soul flew.

Therefore, there is no way to solve this technical problem for the time being.

There are many recipes in traditional Chinese medicine, all of which use tiger bones, such as some medicinal wines, pills, etc., which are basically furnishings now, and they are in decline.

Because there are so many tigers, but the demand has increased exponentially, and the supply is not in short supply at all.

Moreover, the more things that cannot be bought, the more expensive the price, and now the price of tigers on the market is basically the same as imperial green and mutton fat white jade, and the units are calculated in grams.

Not only that, but now tiger bones and ivory are very strictly controlled, and basically no one dares to sell them, even if there are some old ones, it also requires quite cumbersome procedures.

Tiger bones are similar to antiques, and they are all worth more and more as they get older.

Now there are some powerful pharmacies on the market, and they are somewhat stocked, but they are all old items from decades ago, which have been passed down to the present day, and they are no longer used up.

Therefore, it is generally the most important recipe, the most honorable guest, and it is not possible to do it without tiger bones, so it will be painful to cut love.

Jiang Jimin suddenly saw so many tiger bones, his mouth was grinning behind his ears, and there was surprise on his face that could not be concealed.

He Jiang Rentang also has tiger bones, but there are only two short ones, and they are basically useless now.

In the past ten years, it has only been used twice, and both patients are scary.

"Good stuff......"

He looked at it over and over again, and exclaimed, "It's not a short time to look at the year." ”

Although he knew through Old Man Jiang that Zheng Shaoqiu's medical skills were superb and his knowledge was even more amazing, for the sake of prudence, he still decided to identify the authenticity.

Zheng Shaoqiu also expressed his understanding, he believed in his own vision, but speaking with facts was obviously more convincing.

The identification of tiger bones is also very simple, and it can be sliced directly with a knife.

Among the animal bones, only the joints of leopard bones and tiger bones have a small number of coral branch-like concave and convex structures on the surface of the bones, more or less, but in terms of size, tiger bones are larger than leopard bones.

In fact, the bones of other animals are quite okay, but the most difficult to distinguish is the root of the antler root.

There are often unscrupulous traders who impersonate them because their structures are very similar, but if you look closely, you will find a lot of clues.

Compared to tiger bones, the branches of the antler root will be thicker and have no regularity.

In addition, you can also look at the bristle to distinguish, that is, the honeycomb eye formed by the arrangement of pits and depressions inside the bone canal.

It is a well-known thing that the tiger bone is not empty after breaking, its mane is relatively fine, and it is a skein that is implicated together, arranged in a honeycomb shape, commonly known as the loofah sac, which is actually the bone fiber of the tiger bone.

In addition to these, comparisons can also be made based on the oiliness of the bones.

Tiger bones are very oily, which is determined by their bone density.

If you want to identify whether it is a tiger bone, wrap it directly in the tissue paper, and then put it under the pillow.

In short, there are various ways to identify tiger bones, tiger bones have blood lines, and relatively short, like cow hair, generally straighter, with the length of time, blood lines will also change, from red to mature brown, and then black.

There is also a saying called tiger bone press, so it can also be identified from the weight, the density of tiger bones is very large, and the same volume is far beyond the bones of other animals.

Jiang Jimin first reversed the weight, almost knew it in his heart, and then slice it again, and was overjoyed.

A tiger's skull, and a few finger bones, are not short years.

"Good guys!"

As he watched, he exclaimed, "There are still two kneecaps, which is a good thing!"

The kneecap is the most precious part of the tiger bone, and its medicinal value is significant, and the price naturally increases exponentially.

A total of thirteen tiger bones, weighing almost two catties, this is simply unheard of and unseen!

Jiang Jimin hurriedly contacted the relevant departments and asked them to issue an appraisal certificate.

Jiang Rentang was still very good at eating in Pingjing, and after a short time, two staff members came, and after some careful inspection, they came to the conclusion that these tiger bones belonged to the products of more than a hundred years ago, and they were compliant and legal.

After getting the certificate, the big stone in Jiang Jimin's heart fell to the ground, and he began to bargain with Zheng Shaoqiu slowly.

Zheng Shaoqiu left some of them, and the rest were directly sold at a price much lower than the market price, totaling 550,000 yuan.

"Don't be in a hurry to pay for it first, I want to take some medicinal herbs and deduct them from it when the time comes. ”

He whispered.

Jiang Jimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, what do you need, go directly to the treasury to get it, and it will be regarded as an additive." ”

He's very generous, but understandable.

In today's thinking, tiger bones are basically priceless things, and they are considered to be the treasures of the town store.

Moreover, Zheng Shaoqiu's offer to him was much cheaper, so Jiang Rentang made a lot of money this time.

Therefore, I don't care about the little herbs for my own use.

Zheng Shaoqiu's face was a little strange when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, he directly took a blank note, brushed it up, and then pushed it over.
