Chapter 62: Underground Auctions

When I arrived in Jiuding City, I smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine from afar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What herbs does the master want to buy? ginseng, astragalus, rhodiola, lingzhi, snow lotus, angelica, yellow essence, etc., you can find everything here. Wu Shanhe bent down slightly, and said respectfully while leading the way.

"It doesn't matter what kind of product, the older the year, the better. Chen Fan said lightly.

What he wants is not the medicinal properties, but the aura contained in the medicinal materials that have been around for a long time.

Wu Shanhe was stunned, traditional Chinese medicine is not like in the movie novel, what thousand-year-old ginseng and 10,000-year-old snow lotus are the best. The main thing to pay attention to is collocation, monarchs and ministers. If you blindly take heavy medicine, it will be too much.

However, he didn't dare to argue, what kind of person Master Chen is, since he said so, he has his own reasons.

"If you want to talk about very old medicinal materials, there are only a few time-honored medicine halls that may store some. Wu Shanhe pondered slightly, and then said. "Master, please follow me. ”

He seemed to be very familiar with this Jiuding City, and soon led the two of them to the door of a grand medicine hall.

"Hundred Medicine Hall!"

"Although Jiuding City is known as the medicine capital and the Chinese medicine market is huge, it is monopolized by several major families in the final analysis. This Baiyaotang is one of them, with a history of nearly 300 years, and it is a time-honored brand in China that has entered the Ministry of Health. Wu Shanhe introduced.

The three of them walked in, and a staff member had already come up to ask a few people what they wanted to buy.

Ordinary medicine dealers must have gone to the wholesale market, and those who can come to Baiyaotang are either looking for a doctor or buying some precious medicinal materials.

"Call your master. ”

Don't look at Master Wu bending over and bending his knees in front of Chen Fan, but in the face of a small clerk, he immediately raised his toes again.

"Sir?"

The clerk was slightly stunned.

In a time-honored brand like Baiyaotang, the highest status is often not the manager, but the master of the town store. These masters are all well-known old Chinese medicine doctors, treasures of the town store, and they can speak well on the side of the big boss, and their weight is far higher than that of the manager.

"Old man Wu Shanhe. Master Wu held his long beard and said proudly.

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Although the clerk was puzzled, he saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, so he went to the backstage to find the master.

Chen Fan and the others sat down, and other staff members had already served fragrant tea. I didn't have to wait long, a burst of scattered footsteps came quickly, and an old Chinese medicine doctor over sixty years old with a white beard walked out of the backstage.

"Oh, it turned out to be Master Wu in person, you are here, why don't you talk to our family master. The old Chinese medicine doctor stepped forward a few steps and said respectfully.

Seeing the suspicious eyes of Ah Xiu and the clerks, Master Wu smiled proudly.

He may be unknown in Jiangbei, but when he arrives in Zhongzhou Province, he Master Wu is also one of the few masters, and I don't know how many high-ranking officials and dignitaries have treated him as a guest.

However, seeing Chen Fan's smiling expression, Master Wu trembled and hurriedly asked about the matter.

"I'm... Little brother, I want to buy some old and precious Chinese medicine from you, do you still have it?"

"This...."The master hesitated for a moment, and his face was embarrassed: "Don't hide it from the master, recently a young lady has just swept away the medicinal materials of the time-honored stores in the entire Jiuding City, and now I don't want to talk about the ginseng and precious medicines that are more than 100 years old, even if they are fifty years old." ”

"Oh, who is it, such a big deal?" Master Wu wondered.

You must know that in the market, the old ginseng that is more than 100 years old is sold by the gram. Each gram is more than tens of thousands, and a nearly 100-gram is millions. There are more or less several copies of these town store drugs in each store, and now they have all been swept away, how much does it cost?

"It is said that she is a young lady from a big family on Hong Kong Island, and we don't know much about the specific situation. The old master shook his head.

Seeing this, Master Wu looked at Chen Fan in embarrassment.

Chen Fan frowned. "Could it be that in the huge Jiuding City, a single piece of old medicinal materials is gone?"

"What to say... Of course there is. The old master hesitated for a moment, looked at Master Wu and said, "Master, have you heard of the 'Precious Chinese Medicine Auction'?"

"You mean the rumored underground auction?" Master Wu said lightly.

"Yes, the auction, which takes place every few months. Above are many precious Chinese medicines collected directly from medicine farmers and medicine pickers in the mountains, and many of them are more than 100 years old. does not flow into the market, directly invite many merchants and wealthy people in this area to auction on the spot, and pay off on the spot. Master said in a low voice.

This kind of auction, which is obviously privately organized, is not visible.

First of all, the origin of the medicinal materials is not clear. At least one-third of the visitors who die in the Changbai Mountains every year are man-made disasters.

"When will it start?" Chen Fan didn't care about the unknown origin at all, he just needed enough and good enough medicinal materials to allow him to impact the higher realms.

"Three days later, at seven o'clock in the evening, the venue was at the 'Qinghu Manor' on the outskirts of the city. The master lowered his voice and whispered.

"Good. Chen Fan got up, and Master Wu quickly stood up when he saw this, and thanked the master.

After a few people left the Hundred Medicine Hall, they found a place to stay.

.....

Three days later.

Chen Fan and the others took a taxi to the gate of Qinghu Manor, and found that it was heavily guarded, and there was a circle of security guards standing in front of the door.

"I'm sorry, but this is a private place, if you don't have an invitation, please go back. A security guard stepped forward and said politely.

"We don't have invitations. Master Wu said lightly. "You go and report it, and you will say that Wu Shanhe, the eastern capital, has come to pay a visit. ”

Seeing that he looked like a fairy, the security guard couldn't help but hesitate, could it really be a big man?

At this time, a black car stopped at the door, and a chubby middle-aged man walked out. When the man saw Master Wu, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he walked up quickly and said in surprise:

"Master Wu, why are you here? Isn't it rumored that you went to Jiangbei?"

"Ho ho, it turned out to be Boss Hu!" Master Wu couldn't help but blush slightly when he heard this.

He was originally going to go to Jiangbei to do a good job and promote his reputation, but the first pass was planted in Chen Fan's hands, how could he be embarrassed to mention this matter, and quickly changed the topic:

"You're also here for the medicinal herb auction? ”

"What, it's me who touches Master Wu's light, and I'll have to ask Master Wu to help me more when the time comes!" Boss Hu didn't dare to say again.

The things in this medicinal herb auction are not known to come from, so there are real and fake, and the organizer is not responsible at all, only relying on personal eyesight. And although Master Wu is not a master of traditional Chinese medicine, he is famous in Zhongzhou, and he dares to sell his fakes, but he doesn't think it exists.

Since the security guards know each other, they will not stop them.

The group entered Qinghu Manor and found that the manor area was very large, and under the leadership of Yingbin, they turned around and finally entered a remote courtyard.

There was already a group of people waiting in the small courtyard, looking at all the dresses, they were all extraordinary, obviously they were all rich people or pharmacists from Zhongzhou and even all over the country.

"Master Wu, are you here too?"

"Hello Master Wu. ”

"Master Wu is in good health. ”

As soon as Chen Fan and the others walked into the small courtyard, many people seemed to recognize Wu Shanhe's identity and stepped forward to greet him warmly.

There are people I don't know who are still confused, and the people next to me hurry to introduce them. This is the famous Master Wu in the eastern capital of Zhongzhou, who is known to be able to summon souls and exorcise gods, and has the ability to exorcise ghosts and kill people.

Chen Fan was a little funny, he didn't expect that this Master Wu, who had extremely soft bones and knelt down and begged for mercy at every turn, had such a great reputation in Zhongzhou.

He was thinking about it when suddenly a cold snort was heard.

"What Master Wu, just pretending to be a ghost. ”

Wu Shanhe's face sank, and when he heard the words, he looked over, and saw another group of people walking into the courtyard, and it was a woman who was the leader who spoke.

The woman was tall and tall, with a face as sharp as marble, and she looked like a mulatto, her chin raised and a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"This is the eldest lady of the Cheng family on Hong Kong Island. Boss Hu next to him hurriedly whispered. Recently, she swept the traditional Chinese medicine market in Jiuding City, and basically all the medicinal materials of the year were swept away by her. It is said that the old man in the family is too old and has a short lifespan, so he needs a miracle medicine to prolong his life. ”

"Hong Kong Island Zheng family?" Master Wu's eyes shrank when he heard this.
