Chapter 333: The Unbearable Weight of Life
Zhang Lao ignored him, but had a feeling of incomprehension: "This ginseng ......"
An Ning couldn't help it and asked, "What's wrong with this ginseng?"
Zhang Lao looked at it several times before nodding leisurely: "This ginseng is even better than I expected." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were different.
Especially the boss of the Zhong family, he felt a hot piece on his face, and just now he was still questioning whether there was a problem with this ginseng, but Zhang Lao turned around and said, "This ginseng is better than expected."
The speed of this slap in the face came too fast, and he didn't have time to react, and he was embarrassed for a while.
There is also the second aunt, she was the first to question Chen Zhengqian and this ginseng just now, and when she heard Zhang Lao say this, she suddenly showed an unbelievable look, and her eyes almost popped out.
"How is this possible?" she muttered under her breath.
But in this small space, her voice was heard by everyone.
Zhang Lao glanced at her, although he didn't say anything, but his dissatisfaction was undoubtedly revealed, and he immediately made her stunned.
Chen Zhengqian laughed secretly in his heart, let you not know the goods, and now you have been slapped in the face!
The three of them all have a feeling of raising their eyebrows.
Looking at the ginseng in the box, Zhang Lao thought for a while and said, "Why do you say that this ginseng is good? In fact, looking at ginseng, the most basic thing is to 'look at the five forms and recognize the six bodies'." The five forms include whiskers, reeds, skins, lines, and bodies, and the six bodies are spiritual, stupid, old, tender, horizontal, and smooth. ”
Seeing everyone's blank looks, he didn't care, and continued: "Generally speaking, the long whiskers, old and tough, and the roots are dotted with millet granular 'pearl spots', is the old ginseng. If the roots are white and tender, they are not pure wild ginseng. And the longer the roots, the better. The roots of this ginseng, although not the longest I have ever seen, are not bad. ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at the box in Mr. Zhang's hand, and sure enough, the roots of this ginseng were quite long, which made people marvel from the bottom of their hearts after seeing it.
Zhang Lao simply pointed the box at everyone, pointed to the ginseng and said, "Besides, this reed, the so-called reed, is the part of the ginseng that is exposed to the ground." The texture on the reed is fine and compact, which means that it is a good ginseng, but it is not. And the more laps, the longer the age. Look at this ginseng, a proper hundred-year-old ginseng. ”
The boss of the Zhong family couldn't help but take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that there were circles of delicate and tight textures growing on the reeds of this ginseng, not only did he not feel ugly, but there was an indescribable beauty.
Zhang Lao continued: "There is also this ginseng skin, a typical yellow-brown old skin, with a tight texture, not a white tender skin. And this luster, even better than the one in the old guy's hand in the capital. Speaking of this, even Zhang Lao couldn't help but marvel.
Everyone looked at each other, although they didn't know who the old guy in Zhang Lao's mouth was, but those who could be compared to him were probably all medical scientists, not to mention the imperial doctor's level.
Could it be that this ginseng is really that good?
Chen Zhengqian was also surprised, although he was very confident, after all, this is a prop produced by the warehouse, and the quality is guaranteed, but when it comes to professional knowledge, he is not as good as Zhang Lao.
Of course, the more detailed it is, the better, so that you can show that your ginseng is awesome!
Seeing that there were still people with disapproving expressions on their faces, Zhang Lao shook his head: "You people, you don't know the goods!"
The sentence "I don't know the goods" made several people in the Zhong family embarrassed.
"Although there are a lot of ginseng on the market now, many of them are artificially cultivated, and the understory ginseng that is a little old is considered good, where are there so many pure wild ginseng, and it is still this century-old ginseng. I estimate that this ginseng is more than 120 years old, and if it weren't for the old man's need, I would have wanted to cut it off. When Zhang Lao said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on the treasure in the box, and a trace of pain and reluctance flashed in his eyes.
It's like a drunkard who ran into a 50-year-old Moutai and was bought by someone, or a prostitute who met a girl who beckoned to him, but found that he didn't have enough money in his pocket!
Zhong Huayong's family was completely silent.
An Ning and they breathed a sigh of relief, and finally proved that this ginseng was fine.
Elder Zhang looked at the boss of the Zhong family and asked, "Now that the ginseng has also been found, have you thought about it, do you want to use medicine on the old general?"
"This ......" The boss of the Zhong family looked hesitant, and his brows tightened: "Elder Zhang, is there really no other way?"
Zhang Lao said angrily: "Are you really trying to trick you? If there is any other way, I will be willing to watch the old general suffer in the hospital bed?"
If others dared to say this, he would have slapped him a long time ago, which is really unreasonable.
Seeing that the old general's sons were all hesitating, Zhang Lao also sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head and said: "It's not that I said you, if the old general can speak by himself, he won't be willing to live like this, it's better to be happy." ”
The ruthless man who dared to dig up bullets with a bayonet in the trenches, even if he was old, the momentum on his body was still there. This is also the reason why the Zhong family has been active in the military, government and business worlds for so many years.
Everyone knows that as long as the old general is still in the day, the Zhong family will not collapse!
However, there are also drawbacks, as seen now, they have long been accustomed to relying on the old general's big tree to enjoy the shade, and now the big tree is about to fall, and they have become helpless for a while, and they don't even have a person who can really take ideas.
Just look at a few of the second generation of the Zhong family, although it is the boss of the Zhong family who is in charge on the surface, but when he encounters this kind of thing, he is also full of mush.
Zhang Laoshi couldn't stand it anymore, and snorted heavily: "You think I don't want to know, but I can roughly guess it, but I still know very well about my relationship with the old general's old friends for decades, and his personality." I would like to advise you that when you decide, you will decide, and I believe that the old general himself will agree. ”
"Then—"
The boss of the Zhong family, Zhong Huayong, and his father couldn't help but close his eyes, and a look of determination flashed on his face: "Take medicine!"
After saying this, the momentum on the Zhong family's boss declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole person seemed to have aged dozens of years.
Other people's faces were also full of unbearable, even Zhong Huayong, who originally had a lot of complaints about his father, suddenly felt uncomfortable and couldn't speak, his nose was sour, and he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve while everyone was not paying attention.
Chen Zhengqian suddenly understood Zhong Huayong's father's mood.
When he said that, it meant that he was going to say goodbye to his father, and it should be said, goodbye.
As a son of man, he was forced to make such a decision when his father was seriously ill and bedridden, even if he is now a member of the party and is accustomed to all kinds of winds and waves, I am afraid that his heart is very uncomfortable at this moment.
He is both a father and a son, and he has to take on the responsibility of reviving the family.
Perhaps, this is the so-called unbearable weight of life. (To be continued.) )
