Hua Liang sneered, pulled Hua Zixin and walked away, he really couldn't imagine that the market for medicinal materials was really deep, and all the more expensive medicinal materials were actually counterfeit.

looked coldly at the dozens of snakeskin bags behind the middle-aged man, and then thought about what he said, it was obvious that this man was a veteran, and it was not a matter of a day or two to do this.

"Teacher Hua, what did you say? How is this possible, many of the medicines in the medicinal herb market are fake? Li Tiancai was very surprised, these medicines are all for people to treat diseases, selling fake drugs is a hurtful thing, and it is going to kill people at a critical moment, so they blatantly put fake drugs out to sell?

Hua Liang shook his head and said, "What's impossible about this?" In the past, when I was in Yanjing, I often encountered such things, and I didn't expect it to be the same all over the country, so it's no wonder that our Chinese medicine has fallen to this point. ”

Seeing Hua Liang's lonely expression, Hua Zixin took Hua Liang's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit." The world is like this, and we can't do anything about it! ”

Hua Liang smiled and said, "Girl, your grandfather has lived for most of his life, what has he never seen, and what he can't see?" Okay, let's take a look again, let's come to Taobao to pick up the leak! ”

Hua Liang then went to a few fixed stalls to inquire, and almost all the medicinal materials sold were half-truths and half-fakes, especially the precious medicinal materials were difficult to see the real thing.

As Hua Liang walked, he taught the two of them about the popularization of medicinal materials: "The most common thing in the counterfeiting of traditional Chinese medicine is to replace the real medicine with some cheap medicinal materials or other items, or through some means, to create fake drugs that are almost indistinguishable from the medicinal materials in appearance.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a unique resource of our country, especially the natural Chinese medicinal materials are very valuable, and the growing place is relatively fixed, only the elm area of Qinghai-Tibet and Haiqing, and the Ganzi area of Tianfu can grow Cordyceps.

More than 90% of the cordyceps sinensis circulating in the market today is fake. Because the number of Cordyceps is gradually decreasing and is being hyped up, 1 kilogram of genuine Cordyceps can now be sold for 600,000 yuan.

The more valuable Chinese medicinal materials such as gastrodia can be replaced by mochi or potatoes; Fake deer antler velvet by wrapping antler powder, pig blood meal, egg whites and other substances with rat skin, sheepskin, deer skin, etc.

Ginseng, in particular, can be directly replaced by using radish coloring, and anything similar in appearance to some Chinese medicinal materials can be used to make fake medicines.

In addition to the counterfeiting of precious Chinese herbal medicines, in fact, there are also many conventional Chinese herbal medicines. For example, there are many adulterants of Tongcao, and it is very rare to buy pure products, and the price of pure products is about 45 yuan per kilogram. Adulteration mostly uses alum, weighted powder, ginseng fake grass texture is hard, the taste is astringent, some tasteless.

Shou Wu is cut into small cubes, mostly sweet potatoes are diced and processed.

White attached slices, adulterators use sweet potatoes or potatoes to process into similar shape slices, dried and smoked. ……

Such counterfeit drugs flood the market, and most consumers, purchasers are impossible to completely distinguish, and even many pharmacy operators for the sake of profit, knowing that it is counterfeit drugs and still want to purchase, these cheap fake medicinal materials are sold to patients, and it is normal to not cure the disease! ”

Hua Liang said dozens of common Chinese herbal medicine counterfeiting and identification methods in one breath, and Li Tiancai and Hua Zixin were terrified when they heard it, and they never thought that there would be such a dark side of the Chinese herbal medicine market.

"Okay, it's a good one, it's a big profit, these guys who sell fake drugs are really damned!" The more Li Tiancai listened, the more angry he became, and he scolded indignantly.

These people are too greedy and unscrupulous, they don't care about the lives of others, they can do anything in order to make money, and they make a group of fake medicines, why is there no one to take care of this matter?

Hua Liang sighed and said: "There is a huge network of interests in this, which cannot be clearly explained in a few words. ”

After walking around in a long circle in the dreak, Li Tiancai took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and then said to Hua Liang and Hua Zixin: "Hey, it's noon, let's find a place to solve the problem of food and clothing first, and talk about other things slowly!" ”

Hua Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Let's take a look at the big medicine store in front of us, if there are also fakes rampant there, there is no need to continue to wander around here. ”

Subsequently, Li Tiancai came to the largest pharmacy in the center of the market: Anming Medicine.

The three of them just walked into the store and looked at it for a while, when a fat man who looked like a boss put down the teacup and came over with a smile: "Welcome, welcome!" What kind of medicinal herbs are you going to purchase? ”

Hua Liang nodded and responded: "Let's take a look first, I just took a short turn in the market and found that there are really a lot of fake medicines for sale!" ”

Wu Yijian laughed after hearing this: "As soon as I heard what the old gentleman said, I knew that you must be a master in the industry, and your eyesight is extraordinary!" Please rest assured, my family has been a medicine store for decades, and I have always been a child, and I will never be shoddy or fake. ”

The corners of Hua Liang's mouth curled, revealing a playful smile: "That's good, boss, you don't need to be polite, let's turn around first, and we will naturally know if it's true or false." I only trust my eyes now! ”

Knowing that he had met a master, Wu Yijian smiled awkwardly, no longer boasted, and arched his hands towards Hua Liang: "Okay, a few distinguished guests, just take your time, I am waiting for you at any time." ”

Hua Liang nodded, and took Hua Zixin around the store, and Li Tiancai would become a follower.

Wu Yijian sat back in the boss's chair, picked up the teacup with a smile, and while sipping tea, he secretly observed the three of them as if nothing had happened.

After decades in business, Wu Yijian has developed a pair of golden eyes, and it only took a while to see that the old man who was watching and explaining while walking was definitely a master of medical Taoism, and the two young people around him were definitely rookies who had not yet entered the industry.

After a while, Hua Liang turned around a huge medicine store.

Wu Yijian saw Hua Liang leading the two young men towards him, nodded with a smile and said, "Old man, come and sit down, I have prepared the tea for you!" ”

Hua Liang sat down politely, and said straight to the point: "Well, thank you boss." I took a look around your store just now, and it is indeed a lot better than those half-truths and half-truths of small merchants and vendors outside. ”

Wu Yijian's chubby face bloomed with a smile, patted his chest and said proudly: "That's natural!" Our old Wu family is a time-honored medicine store, there is absolutely no counterfeiting, and we never sell fake medicinal materials. ”

Hua Liang waved his hand lightly and said, "I haven't seen the fake, but the quality of the medicinal materials can only be said to be unsatisfactory." Okay, you don't have to explain this boss, we also understand the truth. To tell you the truth, I am a doctor, and the medicinal materials I purchase are related to human life, so I must be genuine, and there is no room for sloppiness! I have a purchase list here, and please bring out the best grade medicinal materials in the store! (To be continued.) )
