Wang Tao sat on the chair next to Chen Xuelong, and he didn't dislike his wine, so he took a sip directly.

"I'm starving, so quickly ask the waiter to get me a pair of dishes and chopsticks. Wang Tao said.

Chen Xuelong smiled and called in to the waiter to give an order, and the latter quickly brought a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks.

Wang Tao didn't care about the image problem, took off his coat and began to feast, and said while eating: "Hey, Lao Chen, tell you something, you made me mess up." ”

"What's the matter, didn't you say that there was absolutely no problem?" Chen Xuelong sighed in his heart and frowned.

Wang Tao shrugged his shoulders and said while smashing his mouth: "There is no absoluteness in everything, I went to southern Yunnan to know that something was wrong, and I spent some money to investigate after staying for a few days, and it turned out that those grandsons were actually playing tricks on Lao Tzu."

Uncle, I was so angry at the time that I called the police directly, telling them to walk around without food. ”

Chen Xuelong was slightly stunned: "Give you a set?"

Wang Tao: "Yes, those grandsons said that there are 100-year-old wild ginseng, and there are six plants, I thought to myself that it is not right, my family has been in the medicinal material business for decades, and I have not received a few 100-year-old wild ginseng, why did six plants suddenly come out."

After checking, I found out that all the century-old wild ginseng was grafted with radish.

I don't know what those grandchildren think, even I dare to pit, now play myself into the pit, I deserve it!"

Saying that, Wang Tao apologized again: "On your side, I shouldn't have told you to die at that time, I'm sorry." ”

Chen Xuelong's eyes showed a look of disappointment, and he sighed: "Forget it, the hundred-year-old wild ginseng is a rare medicinal material, and it is hard to find." ”

Wang Tao said: "Then what about your old man, he is about to celebrate his birthday, what are you going to give?"

Chen Xuelong: "Originally, if you went well over there, you used a century-old wild ginseng as a birthday gift, but now the plan is in vain, and I am also worried." ”

The two continued to talk.

Jiang Bo listened quietly on the side, and he understood something.

Chen Xuelong asked Wang Tao to help him find a century-old wild ginseng, and then used it to make a birthday gift for Chen Xuelong's father.

It can be seen that Chen Xuelong attaches great importance to his father's birthday this time, and he doesn't know if it is really filial piety or because of other reasons.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Xuelong realized that he seemed to have snubbed Jiang Bo.

"Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, I chatted with Wang Tao about some trivial matters, but I didn't care about you. ”

"It's okay......" Jiang Bo shook his head and said that it was okay, and when he was about to take this opportunity to mention the matter of medicinal herbs, Wang Tao's phone rang, and he had to keep his mouth shut.

After Wang Tao answered the phone, he first said a few words impatiently, then his expression changed, and finally he showed surprise.

Hanging up the phone, Wang Tao looked at Chen Xuelong excitedly: "Old Chen, there is no endless road, there is a play!"

"What's the situation?" Chen Xuelong hurriedly asked.

Wang Tao took a bite of food and said: "Just now, Boss Liang of the medicinal material market called and said that there was a century-old wild Polygonum multiflori, which resembled a human shape, and it had just been unearthed, and its fresh weight reached 3 catties. ”

Jiang Bo's dark eyes moved, and he listened quietly without interjecting.

"Is it a humanoid He Shou Wu?" Chen Xuelong's eyes lit up slightly, "If there are hundreds of years, it is not bad." ”

For Zhang Xuelong, whether it is a century-old wild ginseng or a humanoid He Shou Wu, it is something he urgently needs now.

The main reason is that the old man is about to celebrate his 70th birthday, and antique calligraphy and painting are the old man's favorite, and Zhang Xuelong has also been collecting.

But in contrast, the old man has recently preferred wild medicinal treasures.

On the one hand, the old man is old, and the good medicinal materials to replenish the body can be taken by himself.

On the other hand, the old man loves to show off, and when he sees that other old men have engaged in rare wild ginseng, He Shou Wu, and Ganoderma lucidum, how can he sit still?

In order not to lose face, I naturally want to.

So, if you have nothing to do, you will urge Zhang Xuelong, and you will want a hundred years of quality, and don't want to meet the standards.

But now it is almost the 20s of the 21st century, and most of the medicinal materials are artificially cultivated, and natural and high-quality medicinal materials are very rare in the market.

In many cases, money can't buy it, because as soon as it is unearthed, it is bought by those rich people who are also rich.

This thing made Zhang Xue's head bigger, but he had to do it.

Originally, Wang Tao said that there were several hundred-year-old wild ginseng plants in southern Yunnan, and he could get one back, Zhang Xuelong wanted to give a birthday gift to the old man on his birthday to make him happy.

But just now Wang Tao came back and told him that it was fake, there was no hundred-year-old wild ginseng at all, all of them were grafted from radishes, and there was not a single plant, which made Zhang Xuelong feel frustrated in his heart.

However, now the news of the humanoid He Shou Wu has made his mind active.

Although 100-year-old wild ginseng is the best, the point is that it is too rare to get it.

In contrast, the second-most, humanoid He Shou Wu is also a good choice. The premise must be the real He Shou Wu.

However, since he dared to appear in the medicinal material market in Yangcheng, it was nine out of ten true.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuelong got up and said, "Let's go, I'm fine this afternoon, go over and take a look, if it's true, then I must take down this He Shou Wu." ”

Wang Tao glanced at him: "What's the panic, I'm still hungry, can't you wait for me to finish the meal first?"

"I'm afraid I'll be intercepted first. Chen Xuelong said worriedly.

"Don't worry, the thing is Boss Liang's, and it's still in his store, I asked him to keep it for me, before I went, he didn't dare to sell it, I was in the Yangcheng medicinal herb market, and there was still a little bit of thin noodles, just believe me, don't panic." Wang Tao said with a smile.

Hearing him say this, Chen Xuelong didn't continue to urge him, but turned to look at Jiang Bo and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, we are going to go to the medicinal herb market, if you are interested, let's go and have a look together." ”

"Okay, I don't have any plans for the afternoon. Jiang Bo blinked and agreed directly.

Chen Xuelong was stunned, what he said was just a polite remark, the purpose was to tell Jiang Bo that they were leaving, not to accompany him, and to let him leave by himself.

didn't expect him to climb up along the pole and pick up Chen Xuelong's words, which made him feel a little crying and laughing.

However, it is not a big deal to take one more person to the medicinal material market, Chen Xuelong just smiled slightly, and he revealed the embarrassment just now.

After Wang Tao finished eating, the three of them left the Jinjiang Hotel and took a car to the medicinal herb market.

Entering a shop with a plaque of 'Lao Liang Medicinal Materials Wholesale', a middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly walked over to greet a few people.

"Mr. Wang, you have finally arrived, if you don't come again, I won't be able to keep this thing for you. Boss Liang said.

Wang Tao smiled: "Thank you, it was far away just now, so it was a little late, what about things?"

"In the back, follow me. ”

Under the guidance of Boss Liang, the three of them walked through a corridor and entered a spacious back hall.

At this time, more than a dozen people gathered in the back hall, all pointing around a human-like He Shou Wu tree.

"Right there, Mr. Wang, you go over and palm your eyes. Everybody, let me go. Boss Liang pointed at He Shou Wu and asked the people in the way to get out of the way.

Wang Tao and Chen Xuelong came closer, and after looking at it for two seconds, Chen Xuelong was surprised: "This thing...... Why is it so human? ”

Wang Tao was also surprised: "It's too similar, it's just a miniature version of the villain, Boss Liang, is this thing really a naturally grown He Shou Wu? It shouldn't be carved out of palm hearts, right?"

Wang Tao has not never seen the humanoid He Shou Wu since he was a child, but it is the first time he has seen such a vivid and expressive humanoid He Shou Wu, and he is both surprised and can't help but be suspicious.
