Chapter 254: The Shock of the Millennial Ginseng
The old man didn't pay attention to the strange eyes of several people at all, he still snorted to himself, and gradually, he walked to the location where Fang You was, and the whole person took a big breath, and his face couldn't help but show an expression of shock and enjoyment.
"Old man, what are you looking for, there are no strange smells around us." Wang Mingcheng's face was puzzled, and he couldn't help asking.
Hearing Wang Mingcheng's words, the old man came back to his senses from this shocking smell, and noticed the strange eyes of everyone, the old man's face was slightly red, but he didn't show an embarrassed expression, he could smell the smell, and saw the smelling things, what were his previous childish actions.
Looking at the very ordinary young man in front of him, the old man couldn't believe that the smell was emanating from him, so he nodded at Fang You with a smile, and then said to everyone with a smile: "Don't you smell it, there is a strong fragrance of medicinal herbs around." ”
The old man's words made the expressions on everyone's faces even more weird, in this herb shop, the most important thing is probably the taste of medicinal herbs, especially in this shop, what you inhale into your mouth and nose is completely a strange smell mixed with various Chinese herbal medicines.
Everyone sniffed slightly, and a smell of Chinese medicine came to their faces, and they were a little helpless, not knowing why the smell of medicinal herbs in the air made the old man so shocked.
"Don't you smell it, it's a shame, this rich fragrance is all around you." Seeing the blank looks on everyone's faces, the old man shook his head and sighed, he had Baoshan around him but didn't know it, and he had to look for it everywhere.
"Old man, what kind of fragrance of medicinal herbs, this room is full of the smell of Chinese medicine, it smells bad to death, it's a shame that you still searched for a long time with such a big bang, it's not that you didn't find anything, if you don't have thousand-year-old ginseng here, let them get out of here, don't waste time here." Seeing that the old man only smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs, Jiang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and said a little impatiently.
Since being beaten up by that group of thugs, Jiang Dahai has already decided to let Wang Chongyang's family taste what it means to be desperate.
Jiang Dahai's words made everyone a little annoyed, this old man was innocent and didn't provoke him, but he was squeezed twice by him with such arrogant words, and Wang Chongyang couldn't wait to step forward to teach this kid a lesson.
Jiang Changsheng's face turned dark, and when he was about to gently teach his son a few words, the old man raised his head and looked at Jiang Dahai, who was like a pig's head, but shook his head and smiled, and said lightly: "Young man, I don't have thousand-year-old ginseng here, but maybe someone else will have it." ”
After speaking, the old man's eyes were on Fang You in front of him, he saw that a confused look appeared on the young man's face, it didn't look like he was pretending, didn't this young man know that he had thousand-year-old ginseng on his body, he paused, and then asked: "This little friend, you have been exuding a strong fragrance of medicinal herbs, may I ask if you have some kind of medicinal herbs on your body, can you take it out and let the old man look at it for a while." ”
From the ginseng fragrance emanating from the young man in front of him, he could smell it very clearly, and the aroma was so strong that he couldn't judge the year of this ginseng by the smell at all, but he knew that the rich fragrance of this ginseng was by no means comparable to ordinary hundred-year-old ginseng.
Seeing that the old man set his eyes on himself, Fang You smiled helplessly, he was also a little shocked in his heart, he really didn't expect that this old man would smell the faint fragrance of ginseng, but it was such a light fragrance, he was said to be rich, and he also found himself along the fragrance.
Hearing this old man's words, everyone was a little surprised, they couldn't imagine that the source of the smell that this old man had been looking for for a long time was actually emitted by Fang You beside them, what kind of medicinal materials did he have on his body, which could make this old man so shocked.
Jiang Changsheng and Wang Mingcheng stood not far from Fang You, and at this time, they were inhaling with their noses beside Fang You, but in this shop mixed with medicinal herbs, there was a lot of medicinal fragrance everywhere, and they couldn't distinguish anything from this messy smell at all.
Wang Chongyang looked at Fang You with some surprise, but a thought appeared in his heart that he had never dared to think of before.
After thinking about it, Fang You pretended to be at a loss and looked at the old man, "Old man, what are you talking about, I shouldn't have any medicinal herbs or anything like that." He walked all the way, and he had followed Wang Mingcheng into some shops, and talked to some stall owners who were setting up stalls outside, but those people were like Wang Mingcheng and a few others, and they didn't smell the fragrance of ginseng he stored closely, but the old man just walked to them, and he smelled the smell directly, but it was different.
"Oh, little friend, you might as well look for it carefully, maybe the medicinal herb was placed in a corner of your body and you forgot about it." Seeing that this young man was still confused, he couldn't see that he was deliberately pretending at all, the old man was very helpless and pulled down his face and asked, if it was an ordinary medicinal material, he didn't even bother to ask, but this ginseng has such a strong fragrance, but it is rare in a hundred years, if he doesn't look carefully, he is afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Hearing the old man's words, Fang You thought of something, took out a piece of ginseng from his clothes, and said with a blank face: "Old man, do you mean this, this is the hundred-year-old ginseng piece that my master gave me, and said that I want to have nothing to chew and play." ”
"That's it, haha, finally found it." When the old man saw the ginseng piece that Fang You took out of his clothes, he didn't care about what Fang You said, he directly pounced on it, took it in his hand, and showed excitement on his face.
The old man gently stroked this piece of ginseng with his palm, and kept muttering something in his mouth, as if he had seen something beloved, and from time to time he put the ginseng slices on his nose and sniffed vigorously, and the intoxicated appearance was exactly the same as the expression on the face of drug addicts common in movies.
Centennial ginseng slices, Wang Mingcheng and the others looked at the ginseng slices taken out of Fang You's body, and were directly snatched into their hands by this old man, looking like they couldn't put it down, and they were all dumbfounded, are these hundred-year-old ginseng slices worthy of such treatment by the owner of this medicinal herb shop.
According to the old man, the ginseng slices that exude a strong fragrance are in front of their eyes at this moment, which makes Wang Mingcheng and Jiang Changsheng can't help but take a step forward and take two breaths of air through their noses, and their faces are a little surprised, they have seen ginseng for a hundred years, but they can only smell a little smell unless they lie on the ginseng, but they are still some distance away from the ginseng slices, and they can directly smell the unique aroma exuded by this ginseng.
This ginseng slice is not all in the form of a sheet, one side is ginseng meat, and the other side is even with ginseng skin, Ming Cheng slightly looked at the color of this ginseng piece, but his face was a little dignified.
He has been in the medicinal herb business for several years, for this ginseng that can greatly replenish vitality, it is naturally the top priority of research, ten, twenty, or even a hundred years of ginseng, he has seen it, the last time for this contract, he also asked for a two-hundred-year-old ginseng, but the color on these ginseng is basically light yellow, the shorter the year, the lighter the yellow.
The two-hundred-year-old ginseng is just a faint yellow, but the color of this ginseng piece, including the ginseng skin, is almost all that bright yellow, coupled with the words of the shop owner just now, Wang Mingcheng couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Fang You.
At this time, the old man had recovered from the excitement, but the shock on his face had not subsided, he suddenly remembered what Fang You had just said, his fingers trembled and pointed at Fang You, but he didn't say a word for half a day, "This little friend, you said that your master asked you to chew and play with this ginseng piece." ”
"yes, he gave me a few tablets, and said that when I got hurt, I would chew a little bit in my mouth and play with it." Fang You looked stupid, let Wang Chongyang turn his face, and secretly laughed a few times, his second brother began to pretend to be stupid again, although he was snickering, his heart was full of longing, longing for the ginseng taken out of the second child's body, it would be a thousand-year-old ginseng, in that way, their difficult and desperate situation would immediately change dramatically, but the second brother said that this ginseng was a hundred years of ginseng given to him by his master, he was really deceiving people, or was this ginseng only a hundred years old.
Wang Chongyang was a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that there was hope, but it was shattered like a bubble.
Hearing Fang You's injury before chewing and eating, the old man's angry face recovered a little, and he said angrily: "Young man, can you tell me your master's name, I want to see who is so tyrannical." ”
Although he didn't taste the taste, but with the strong smell of this ginseng, and the color, ginseng skin and other characteristics on it, he can already determine that this ginseng is not the hundred-year-old ginseng that this young man said in his mouth at all, and he has been fortunate to see five-hundred-year-old ginseng, but it is not like this at all, and its smell is also very different, and the age of this ginseng piece is definitely much more than five hundred years, and even a thousand years old.
Just such a piece of ginseng, which may be a thousand-year-old ginseng, actually made this little guy injured and chewed to eat, this is simply a waste, a big waste, this piece of ginseng, if he gets it, I am afraid it will be shelved, until one day when the body is too weak to work, he will cut a small point, boil a large pot of chicken soup to drink, this kid can actually chew and play, which makes the old man angry to the extreme.
Fang You didn't think about it, and blurted out directly, "Old man, my master's name is Chen Zongyi, and he is a Tai Chi player, shouldn't you know him?" At this time, Fang You prayed silently in his heart while saying, Master, I'm sorry, no matter how you say it, this old man will be suspicious, so he can only take you out and carry the black pot as a shield.
"Chen Zongyi, does he live in Liuzhou?" The old man suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he directly pulled Fang You and asked.
Fang You nodded, a little surprised, could it be that this old man also knew his master, when he boxed with him before, he had never heard him say that he was so famous, he could even know the owner of a small medicinal herb shop in Guangdong.
"Haha, Tai Chi Shenquan Chen Zongyi, it turned out to be this old guy, no wonder he would be so violent, that guy has always regarded money as something outside his body like dung, young man, is this old guy really your master." The old man laughed violently, as if this Chen Zongyi was his old acquaintance.
Fang You was a little dumbfounded, Tai Chi Shenquan, damn, when did his cheap master have such a bull title, even the old man on this small street knew, this is simply too, "Old man, this, as for whether he is my master, you don't believe it when I say it, it's better for you to ask him when you get it." ”
Hearing Fang You's words, the old man couldn't help but be a little speechless, and then shook his head helplessly, "You kid has a bit of his stubborn temper, no wonder I saw that the breath on your body just now is a little familiar, this ginseng slice was given to you by him, I'm not so surprised, this old guy has always done things casually, and what is extremely valuable in the eyes of others can be easily thrown to the beggars on the street, and directly said that this thing is not worth anything." ”
The old man's words made Fang You couldn't help but agree a little, that Zhu Kexin's purple clay pot was priceless, but he gave it to himself at will, and insisted that this thing was not valuable, but when he got to Chu Lao, he knew that this was a treasure that Chu Lao had been thinking about for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless about his master's temperament.
Tai Chi Shenquan Chen Zongyi, some of the people around him showed a different color on their faces, they were very unfamiliar with this name, but listening to this old man's narration, they could think that this Chen Zongyi was by no means an ordinary person, Wang Chongyang was a little excited, he didn't expect Fang You to tell him about this master, there would be such a powerful title, Tai Chi Shenquan.
Jiang Dahai's face showed a resentful expression, he didn't care what this Tai Chi Divine Fist was, listening to this old man's continuous talk about violent things, he was a little uneasy in his heart, but looking at this ordinary person who beat himself, he was so sought after by this old man, he suddenly couldn't stand it.
"Hehe, old man, you've been talking about tyrannical things, tyrannical things, haven't you seen some years of ginseng, this piece of ginseng that I haven't seen for decades and hasn't reached a hundred years at all, it will shock you so much, the vision of your small shop is too small." Jiang Dahai sneered with some disdain.
The old man glanced at him expressionlessly, shook his head and smiled, ignored him again, and turned his gaze to Fang You, "Young man, Old Guy Chen said that this is just a hundred years of ginseng, and he doesn't care too much, he even let you have nothing to chew and play, you master really don't take a baby as a baby." ”
"Old man, isn't this hundred-year-old ginseng a treasure?" Fang You pretended to be shocked and said.
The old man smiled, "Hehe, a hundred years of ginseng, if that old guy tells the truth, you kid won't dare to eat it, the year of this ginseng piece has exceeded five hundred years, as for the specific, just based on the current feeling, it can't be concluded at all." ”
"More than five hundred years ......" Except for the shock on Fang You's face, the faces of the others changed suddenly, and they looked straight at the yellow ginseng piece in the old man's hand, their faces full of disbelief.
Wang Mingcheng looked at the ginseng piece, and then looked at Fang You, and at the same time shocked, he couldn't help but hope rose in his heart, it has been more than five hundred years, maybe this ginseng can really reach a thousand years.
And Wang Chongyang was wide-eyed, his face suddenly showed excitement, he can now be sure that his current actions are obviously pretended, maybe he already knew that the ginseng piece on his body was a thousand-year-old ginseng.
No wonder he said he would help, no wonder when he heard about the thousand-year-old ginseng, there was no shock on his face, it turned out that in his body, there was already a thousand-year-old ginseng, in Wang Chongyang's heart, this ginseng is the real thousand-year-old ginseng, he knows the temper of the second child, there is no accurate thing, he will not say it.
Jiang Changsheng's face was also full of disbelief, he looked at the ginseng piece sharply, and then looked at the old man, his eyes kept rolling, as if he was thinking about something, and then, he walked out of the door, made a call, and then quickly rushed back.
And at this time, his son had jumped out impatiently, Jiang Dahai pointed at the ginseng with a disdainful face, "Hehe, old man, with this piece of ginseng, can you be sure that it has exceeded five hundred years, you are just the owner of a small medicinal herb shop, do you have such a powerful vision, I think, you are colluding, you want to deceive us with this fake ginseng, it's useless, just this ginseng, it's still a thousand years of ginseng, I don't think it's been a hundred years, you don't have to waste your efforts, five million, not a cent." ”
The old man seemed to be very self-contained, even if he was pointed at by this Jiang Dahai, there was no anger on his face, he just smiled slightly, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at Jiang Dahai, "Young man, can I let my old man taste this piece of ginseng, I want to determine its approximate year." ”
Fang You didn't seem to have recovered from the shock, and when he heard the old man's words, he nodded directly, the old man smiled, and gently broke off a little bit of the yellow ginseng slice with his hand, and then put it in his mouth.
Not long after that little bit of ginseng entered the old man's stomach, his somewhat fair face couldn't help but reveal a red light as if the rain had passed on a sunny day.
The old man's face showed a look of shock, and he closed his eyes suddenly, as if he was breathing the chaotic breath in his body, and after a while, his palm slowly pressed down, and then he exhaled softly, and opened his eyes violently.
Seeing that the old man's previous dim eyes shot out a bright light, and then returned to dimness, Fang You couldn't help but be a little shocked, this ordinary old man on the small street, could it be that he was also a hidden master.
The old man returned to normal, looked at the ginseng slices that were still a lot left in his eyes, the expression on his face became a little unnatural, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh, "Young man, your master is really a tyrannical thing, the year of this ginseng, if I didn't make a mistake in estimating, it can be said that even if it doesn't reach a thousand years, it is not far behind, only a thousand years of ginseng with aura, will make my breath so unstable." ”
The old man's plain words made the people present couldn't help but show a look of horror, thousand-year-old ginseng, this ginseng piece is really cut off from the thousand-year-old ginseng, Jiang Changsheng's eyes revealed impossibility, and Wang Mingcheng's father and son were excited and excited on their faces.
This old man's thousand-year-old ginseng can be said to have made all the suffering they have suffered in the past month disappear, and they finally waited for hope, waiting for this almost extinct thousand-year-old ginseng.
"Hmph, old man, you are just the owner of a small shop, you said this is a thousand-year-old ginseng, it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, I also said it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, but can it become a thousand-year-old ginseng, it seems that you are really in a gang with them, dare to deceive consumers, believe it or not, I smashed your shop." Jiang Dahai's band-aided face showed a vicious look.
At this moment, outside the store, there was a sudden exclamation, "Hey, don't smash the store, don't smash the store, the shopkeeper is here, Mr. Qi, why did I just go out for a while, and it was full of people, and you said that you were going to smash my store, you always look at the store too well." With the voice, an old man with a sloppy appearance walked in, holding a ginseng in his hand, eating it like gnawing on dried radish, walked tightly to the store, and said very nervously.
Fang You smiled, this old man seemed nervous, but he didn't care at all.
"Old man Qi, what the hell is going on, why are so many people surrounded, and there are still people who want to smash the store, who wants to smash the store." The scruffy old man pretended to be nervous and asked the old man.
Jiang Dahai jumped out directly, "It turns out that you are the shopkeeper, I want to smash the shop, the ordinary old man who helped you look at the shop just now actually said that the ginseng piece in his hand is a thousand-year-old ginseng, do you say this is possible, he is an ordinary old man, and now he is not even a shopkeeper, and he dares to say that this ordinary ginseng piece is a thousand-year-old ginseng." ”
The sloppy old man was also a little surprised, glanced at the ginseng piece in the old man's hand, sniffed it carefully, and then without hesitation, he put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously, and couldn't help moaning comfortably, "Old man Qi, where did you get this good thing, this is a real thousand-year-old ginseng, a good thing that can be met but not sought." ”
"Even you're a liar, you're all liars." Hearing the words of this sloppy old man, Jiang Dahai's face changed, and he said extremely angrily.
The sloppy old man was not as cultured as this old man, and directly gave Jiang Dahai a slap, "Hehe, say that we are liars, boy, do you know who is standing in front of you, he is the president of the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Hexin, after his identification of ginseng, you still dare to be crooked here, if you don't shut up, Lao Tzu will beat you." ”
"Impossible, this can't be, he's a liar......" Jiang Dahai said in disbelief.
The old man surnamed Qi shook his head helplessly, and said to the sloppy old man: "Old Sun, you are a little too high-profile. ”
"Hehe, on a whim, old man Qi, don't be surprised, this kind of person, the softer you are to him, the more he on your head, you have to be hard with him, and there are still people who dare to challenge your authority, if I don't beat me so much that I can't recognize my father, it's not over." The sloppy old man seemed to be in awe of this old man Qi, and scratched his head with a dry smile.
