Zhouchu City Medicinal Material Market.

Zhang Yi, who was carrying a travel bag and wearing casual clothes, walked into the door of the medicinal herb market. Originally, he thought that the scene in the medicinal herb market would be similar to that of the vegetable market, but after coming in, he realized how outrageous he was wrong.

The spacious and neat cement road is lined with stone tables of all colors, on which there are countless medicinal herbs, and even the air is filled with a strong smell of medicinal herbs.

Look around.

There are more than a dozen wide lanes in the entire medicinal herb market, and there are at least hundreds of stalls by visual inspection. In front of almost every stall, there are many customers selecting medicinal herbs, and they look crowded.

"Little brother, do you want to buy medicinal herbs? I have all the medicinal herbs here, and they are all good goods. A chubby middle-aged stall owner greeted Zhang Yi with a grin.

Zhang Yi walked over in a few steps, stood in front of and behind the stall, his eyes swept over the medicinal materials above, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said lightly: "I'll take a look at it at random, if there is anything I like, I will naturally buy it." ”

"Okay, little brother, you can watch it as you like."

The fat stall owner smiled and turned to greet the other guests.

A few minutes before stopping in front of the stall, Zhang Yi turned around and left, the medicinal materials in the stall were very ordinary, but the price was very expensive.

Since he was a child, he has studied traditional Chinese medicine with his master Mo Wenfeng, and he knows all kinds of medicinal materials very well.

And in the past few days, he has followed Hao Chengxiao, the deadly demon doctor, and also made up for the Chinese herbal medicines, and many Chinese medicinal materials that he didn't know before were firmly remembered by him.

Walking in the flow of people, sometimes stopping, sometimes walking, observing all kinds of medicinal herbs on the stalls on both sides.

Suddenly.

His footsteps stopped in front of a stall, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to pick up a thumb-sized medicinal herb from the stall and looked at the price on it.

"666 yuan".

Zhang Yi glanced at the stall owner who was greeting other guests with a strange face, and then asked with a smile, "Boss, can this medicinal herb be cheaper?" ”

The stall owner turned his head and said bluntly, "I don't have any counter-offers for the medicinal materials here. ”

Zhang Yi took out his wallet, took out seven hundred yuan from it, handed it over, and said, "I want this medicinal herb." ”

The stall owner smiled a little, quickly counted some money, and after giving Zhang Yi change, he asked with a smile: "Little brother, look at my stall, do you want other medicinal materials?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and smiled: "No, thank you." ”

Dry bone grass.

Extremely precious Chinese medicinal materials, the number is scarce, it is simply rare, and this kind of medicinal materials has a great effect on the treatment of necrosis of the femoral head.

He once saw in the classics of traditional Chinese medicine that such a dry bone grass with a fire of almost a hundred years would cost at least 200,000.

And I bought it for only 666 yuan, which was really a big bargain.

"Knowledge is wealth, the ancients did not deceive me!"

With a little excitement, Zhang Yi used the shopping bag given by the stall owner and walked forward with the dry bone grass.

After walking around the medicinal herb market for more than half an hour, passing through several wide roads, and watching the medicinal materials on hundreds of stalls, Zhang Yi did not find the whereabouts of the golden-tailed vine.

"Dude, I've been observing you for half an hour, it's the first time you've come to our medicinal herb market? Do you need eyes? A young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, with a bit of cleverness, blocked Zhang Yi's way and asked with a smile.

"Eyes?"

Zhang Yi looked confused, not understanding what the other party meant.

The young man explained with a smile: "In our place, there are medicinal herb merchants who come from all over the world every day, and there are also a large number of customers who buy medicinal herbs. Many people come here for the first time and don't know much about the situation, so they need someone who is familiar with the place to lead the way and understand the situation here. And people like me have been here for many years, and they are all clear about which stall, which shop, which medicinal materials are good, and which one is cheap. Therefore, people like me are called 'eyes' here, and as the eyes of our customers, we receive a certain amount of remuneration from them based on the information provided and the time they need. ”

Zhang Yi was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that there were people doing this kind of work here.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked curiously, "If I invite you, how much will it cost?" ”

The young man said bluntly: "Thirty yuan an hour." ”

Zhang Yi nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll ask you to be my eyes for two hours, and I'll wait for two hours before settling the bill." ”

"No problem."

Although the young man had sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, the cleverness he showed made Zhang Yi nod secretly in his heart.

After looking around, Zhang Yi looked at the young man and asked, "May I ask your surname?" ”

"The surname is Mao, Mao Xinxin." The young man said his name, and his face showed a little embarrassment.

Mao Xinxin?

Zhang Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this feminine name.

"Where can I buy the best medicinal herbs here? I've just been wandering around those stalls for a long time, but I haven't found any good herbs. Zhang Yi asked.

Mao Xinxin, who had sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, turned her clever eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother, you must be here for the first time, otherwise you wouldn't even know about the store area." Come with me! I know a few shops with the most prosperous business, many types of medicinal materials, and good quality, and you can buy good medicinal materials by keeping them. ”

Shop area?

Zhang Yi's gaze turned to the innermost side, at the end of that side, except for the round arches, which were cement walls, if you didn't go over, you would definitely not find that there would be shops inside.

"Is it big enough here, with so many stalls, is there still a shop area?" Zhang Yi said curiously.

Mao Xinxin smiled: "What kind of big is this? The area of the shop area is two or three times larger than here. You look at the bargaining people, the vast majority of them are medicinal herb dealers, and they don't make a lot of money; Of course, there are also ordinary guests who live nearby, so it is convenient to come here to buy medicinal herbs. ”

"As for the shop area, almost all of the people who go there are rich people, and the medicinal materials in it are also expensive, so if you don't have money, don't go there. Unless ......"

Zhang Yi was puzzled: "Unless what? ”

Mao Xinxin said with a smile: "Unless you are very proficient in medicinal materials, you can grasp the preciousness of medicinal materials and its market price." For example, some time ago, a young girl came to our medicinal herb market, and the girl looked like a fairy, wearing a fluttering white dress, with a full head of silver hair, that figure, and that appearance...... Gee. ”

As he spoke, his eyes began to glow, and his throat squirmed several times.

"Off topic!"

Zhang Yi reminded.

"Uh...... Yes, yes, it's off topic. ”

The pig on Mao Xinxin's face disappeared, and she said with a little embarrassment:

"Well, I mean, that girl is amazing! The understanding of medicinal materials, as well as the judgment of the price of various medicinal materials, are simply accurate to the limit. She can find the precious medicinal materials that are ignored by the medicinal herb dealers from the ordinary medicinal materials, and can buy them at a very low price, and then sell them again, at that time she made a total of four shots, except for one of the medicinal materials, her net profit only made more than 100,000 yuan, and the other three medicinal materials, each of which had a net profit of more than one million. At that time, the entire medicinal herb market was shaken, and the flow of people on the street in the shop area blocked the entire street. ”

Zhang Yi was shocked: "So powerful? ”

Subconsciously, he looked at the dry bone grass he was carrying in his hand, and the shock disappeared a lot.

Mao Xinxin nodded heavily with admiration and said, "That's right, it's that powerful." That girl is simply my idol, the goddess of my heart. ”

Zhang Yi smiled dumbly: "Did the girl come again later?" ”

A little regret appeared on Mao Xinxin's face, and she shook her head with a wry smile and said, "No, I just came that once, and I never saw her again." Alas...... If I can see her peerless fairy again, even if I live less...... I'm willing to live for three months! ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "It's too exaggerated, right?" ”

Mao Xinxin said: "There is absolutely no exaggeration, after seeing that girl, I can't give birth to the slightest blasphemy in my heart, the ice is clear and jade, she is as holy as the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to the earth." ”

While laughing and talking, the two of them had already passed through the circular arch and entered a wide street, and the smell of medicinal herbs coming out of the rows of shops on both sides was much stronger than that of the stall area.

However, as soon as the two entered, they were attracted by the noisy scene ahead.

"If my guess is correct, it must be a treasure from Old Man Sun's store, auctioned at the door of the store! Gee...... Old man Sun didn't know where to get so many precious medicinal materials, so he auctioned off a medicinal material every once in a while, and every time he was robbed by the guests. Mao Xinxin said with a little envy.

Zhang Yi was surprised: "Auction every three or five times? Just auction at the door? ”

Mao Xinxin nodded and said, "Yes!" This situation is often encountered in the store area, which is a common trick used by those shop owners to attract customers. ”

Zhang Yi nodded slowly and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

Mao Xinxin smiled, he understood the psychology of the guests who came here, and for this kind of simple auction scene, it was very able to attract curious onlookers.

After following Zhang Yi to the crowd in front, the two saw an old man with white hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, this fire dragon ginseng is a rare and precious medicinal material, and I believe that guests who know a little bit about medicinal materials know his preciousness." This gentleman has already bid 620,000, is there anything higher? Whoever can offer a high price, this fire dragon ginseng is his. ”

"Two million, I want it."

A cold voice came from the crowd.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Zhang Yi's gaze also looked towards the source of the sound, and when his gaze fell on the appearance of the woman in professional clothes and indifferent face, he suddenly felt a sense of amazement.
