Chapter 239: The Hundred Grass King? Liars are just that
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't want to meddle in things, because there are similar things in the Chinese herbal medicine market every day. If you are deceived into buying fake or inferior goods, it can only mean that the buyer's vision is not enough, bad luck, and you can't complain about others. However, this time, the reason why Zhou Xiaochuan opened his mouth to remind the pair of grandchildren was because he heard them say that they wanted to use this bezoar to save people instead of selling it for a profit. You must know that Zhou Xiaochuan's current sense of smell, even if he doesn't turn on the ability of [Instant Enhancement of Sense of Smell], is much stronger than ordinary people. Others may not be able to smell the strange smell of this bezoar, but his nose smells it all at once. Although it is not yet possible to determine what the real ingredient of this bezoar is, it is certain that it is fake. If this kind of fake bezoar is used to treat people, not only will it not work, but there is a great possibility that the surname will harm people's lives! As the saying goes, 'Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter', no matter how much Zhou Xiaochuan doesn't want to meddle in things, he can't see death without saving!
Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, the grandfather and grandson couldn't help but be stunned, and they all turned their heads to look at him, with a look of surprise and hesitation on their faces. At the same time, the vendor also set his eyes on Zhou Xiaochuan, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Boy, you'd better clean your mouth for me, don't talk nonsense there." Di Lao, the 'king of herbs' in the Chinese herbal medicine market just now, personally proved that my bezoar is a genuine high-grade natural bezoar. Everyone has seen and heard with their own eyes, so you can't help making trouble here! ”
A few people next to him who had not dispersed immediately nodded and agreed: "That's right, everyone Di Lao has said that this bezoar is indeed an extremely valuable high-grade natural bezoar, so don't talk nonsense here and be embarrassed and conspicuous!" ”
Zhou Xiaochuan sneered: "Didn't Elder Di look away?" As he said this, he activated the ability of [Instant Enhancement of Smell].
In an instant, the various smells around him became stronger and clearer, allowing Zhou Xiaochuan to judge their ingredients based on these smells. After shielding out many irrelevant odors, he began to concentrate on analyzing the ingredients contained in the bezoar through the smell of it!
Through these months of practice, Zhou Xiaochuan has been able to use the enhanced sense of smell proficiently.
"Di Lao has been in the Chinese herbal medicine market for decades, and even if he has seen it, it is very rare. Besides, you are a hairy boy, and you are not qualified to question Di Lao! After throwing down such a sentence and a cold look, the trader no longer paid attention to Zhou Xiaochuan, and instead said to the pair of grandchildren: "That's it, I'll suffer a little loss, and sell this high-grade natural bezoar to you at the price of 800,000 cash plus this jade pendant...... However, before I do that, I will first find someone to inspect this jade pendant in your hand to see if it is worth the price of 200,000 yuan. ”
The grandfather and grandson were overjoyed when they heard this, and they hurriedly thanked them. Obviously, between Zhou Xiaochuan and Di Lao, they prefer to believe in the latter. This is understandable, because in terms of traditional Chinese medicine, people generally believe that older people have the ability and experience to be more reliable, and younger ones are a little bit of a feeling of 'no hair on the mouth and no firm work'. Isn't there a popular saying in this folk that 'young tailors and old doctors'? That's what I'm talking about.
Just when the grandfather and grandson were about to hand over the jade pendant to the vendor as a deposit, and then go to the bank with the vendor to transfer money, Zhou Xiaochuan stepped forward and said to the old man with a childish face: "Old man, this bezoar is not a high-grade natural bezoar, not even an artificial bezoar, it is a pseudo-artificial bezoar made of seventeen flavors of medicinal materials such as gardenia, rhubarb, and skullcap, which is processed and made by an extremely special process!" Because the method of counterfeiting is extremely superb, there is no difference between the bezoar and the real one, and the smell emitted is also very similar to the natural bezoar, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity of this bezoar from the shape and smell......"
Zhou Xiaochuan's words were not loud or small, and they happened to be heard by the vendors.
After hearing Zhou Xiaochuan say that this piece of bezoar was made by processing seventeen flavored medicinal materials such as gardenia, rhubarb, and skullcap through special techniques, a trace of shock and panic flashed on the vendor's face. Although he tried his best to make his expression and emotions return to normal after a few seconds, the gaze that looked at Zhou Xiaochuan still revealed what he was thinking at the moment: "Who is this kid?" Why do you know the ingredients of the herbs we used to make this fake bezoar? Except for me and Di Lao, there is no second person who knows the ingredients of these medicinal materials! Could it be that this kid really recognized it? But from beginning to end, he has never touched this piece of bezoar, and it is far away, even if he really has the ability, it is impossible to accurately analyze the specific composition of this fake bezoar just by looking at it from a distance, right? ”
That's right, this vendor and the Di Lao who is known as the 'King of Herbs' are exactly the same gang, and they have just joined forces to perform a good show. If there was no Zhou Xiaochuan, their play would be perfect both in terms of process and result. It's a pity that I bumped into Zhou Xiaochuan...... Just when the vendors were full of shock and panic and speculation, Zhou Xiaochuan had already finished his words and threw down a sentence: "I have said everything that should be said, as for whether you believe it or not, it depends on you." Finally, I would like to remind you that if you are in a hurry, don't rush to the doctor, otherwise the disease will not be cured but will worsen, and it will be really troublesome. With that, he ignored the hesitant grandfather and grandson and the fierce vendor, and strode in the direction of the bus station. He still had to rush to catch a bus to Hongluo Town, and he didn't want to waste too much time here.
At the beginning, the grandfather and grandson thought that Zhou Xiaochuan deliberately said that this bezoar was a fake in order to deceive them as competitors, so that it was convenient to buy this bezoar at a low price. After all, similar things will be staged in the Chinese herbal medicine market almost every day. However, what they never expected was that Zhou Xiaochuan left without looking back after throwing down such a word. This appearance is obviously not to buy the bezoar at a low price.
Could it be that this bezoar is real or fake?
The old man looked down at the bezoar on the stall, his brows furrowed and his face serious.
How do you look at it, this bezoar is not fake, should I believe him...... The young man was looking at Zhou Xiaochuan's distant back at this time, his expression was a little hesitant, and he muttered in a low voice: "Strange, why do I think that this person seems to have seen it somewhere?" Then, he retracted his gaze and asked the old man, "Grandpa, should we buy this bezoar or not?" ”
Before the old man could answer, the few people next to him who had not yet dispersed came forward and said to the vendor:
"Boss, I believe that your bezoar is real, sell it to me, and we will go to the bank to transfer it!"
"Sell it to me!"
"Others don't know the goods, but I know the goods, I will pay 1.1 million for this bezoar! Sell it to me! ”
After making a gesture of calmness, the vendor said, "Don't worry, everyone, I am honest in business." It was this old gentleman who first talked to me about the deal. Now I have to ask his opinion first, if he doesn't want this bezoar, I can sell it to you......" Before he could finish speaking, the people around him shouted at the old man again:
"Old man, you can give us this bezoar!"
"Yes, anyway, you don't believe that this bezoar is real, just don't buy it, let it be given to us!"
Glancing at the vendors, and then at the people around him, the original hesitation in the old man's heart disappeared in an instant. Although the expression on his face has not changed at all, he is already sneering in his heart.
If these people can't afford to raise the price, the old man may buy this fake bezoar after some hesitation, it is precisely because they raise the price that the old man can see the greasy in this, and he has changed from hesitation to believing Zhou Xiaochuan's words. Do you think, if these people around you really want this bezoar, why don't you open your mouth just now, and wait until someone questions that this bezoar is fake, and then rush to raise the price? If it were someone else, maybe at this time, under a nervous and impulsive moment, he would have paid for this bezoar. But the old man has lived for such a long time, and he has already experienced the sophistication of human feelings. It can be said that he has seen these tricks played by the vendor at the moment many times. If he was impulsive because he was worried about the condition of his relatives before, then at this moment, after listening to Zhou Xiaochuan's persuasion, he has regained some calm, and it is naturally not difficult to see that the vendors and the surrounding hecklers are in a group, and they are cooperating with the acting.
These nurseries are very conscientious, but their acting skills are a little inferior, and there is still a long way to go if they want to become the 'Tota Heavenly King'!
However, compared with the old man, the young man was not able to see the greasy in this, and when he saw that someone wanted to compete with them for this bezoar and raised the price, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly said to the old man: "Grandpa, let's buy this bezoar quickly, otherwise it will be snatched away by others." ”
The old man suddenly laughed, pulled the young man to turn around and left, leaving only one sentence: "Whoever likes to want it, this bezoar, I will give it to you, old man!" ”
The vendor and the surrounding group of tos were stunned for a moment, and their eyes widened as they looked at the distant backs of the grandfather and grandson, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Even at this moment, the young man who was dragged away still couldn't react, and was still full of surprise and puzzlement and questioned: "Grandpa, why don't you want that piece of natural high-grade bezoar?" My sister is still waiting for her to help! ”
