Chapter 85: Singing a double reed
\t
\tThe night was like ink, the sky and the earth were dark, Zhao Zixian sat on the bed, turned off the light in the room, shook his head, and fell on the bed.
\t secretly wondered what this fat man meant, and when he knew that he had 200,000 cash in cash, he didn't show himself the thousand-year-old ice-mushroom, but told himself to come back and wait, saying that he would go again tomorrow, because the thousand-year-old ice-mushroom he put in the ice cellar, why?
\tMillennial ice mushroom has been growing in the snow mountains with extremely low temperatures, unable to see sunlight, and covered with snow, if the temperature becomes high, then the aura will lose half, and the loss of aura means that his medicinal effect has also lost more than half.
\t Zhao Zixian still knows this, that old man should have put the thousand-year-old ice mushroom in the snowdrift before he dared to sell it, most of the old hunters living here know the rules, and they will not spoil the precious medicinal materials.
\'s like in the Northeast, if you get ginseng, you have to look for ginseng first, and tie it with a red rope, otherwise the ginseng baby will escape, which is similar to this.
\tAlas, it seems that the trip to the Northeast is not very smooth! Zhao Zixian sighed, he knew that this was the fat man who was setting himself up, but for his own future, in order to restore his right hand, he still had to bear it, bear the fat man's white eyes, disdain and sneer.
\tThe next day, the sun was shining, and Zhao Zixian went to Yixintang without even changing his clothes, but what made him strange was that the pharmacy staff said that the boss was out and not at home, which made Zhao Zixian extremely distressed, your sister, didn't you say that you would come to see the goods today? Lao Tzu is even ready for money, bank card uh put on his body at any time, as long as the goods arrive, you can get the money, and you actually take it and play with me and disappear?
\t Unwilling Zhao Zixian came again at night, and got the same reply, for three days, Zhao Zixian had to go to Yixintang every morning and evening, and in any case, he also bought the millennium ice mushroom back.
It's been three days, and this kid actually played peek-a-boo for me?
\tZhao Zixian sat in his room, just now Ye Ruo and Wang Luodan both called, asking how things are going here? He's so depressed, even the seller is gone, where else can I buy it?
On the fourth day, Zhao Zixian went to Yixintang as always, but today he did not disappoint him, as soon as he entered the pharmacy, he was taken into the reception room by the waiter with a sweet smile, and the fat man had already sat in it.
\t's face was cute and cute, as soon as he saw Zhao Zixian coming in with a backpack, he stood up, and said with everyone's kindness and enthusiasm: "Brother, I'm sorry, my brother has been looking at drugs in the field these days, so he only came back last night, no, I heard the people below say that you come every day these days, so I came to wait for you early this morning, I didn't even come to eat breakfast Hehe, please take a seat." ”
\t bullshit! Look at your fat body, you don't eat breakfast? Who believes! Even if the sky falls, you won't go without eating.
Zhao Zixian scoffed at his attitude, and secretly thought, what kind of trick was this fat man playing with himself.
As soon as he sat down, he saw a bachelor sitting on his right hand, how can I say that he was a bachelor, because he was wearing a suit and tie, his face was elegant, his hair was meticulous, and he was shiny, he had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a magnifying glass on his chest.
\t The tea came up quickly, the temperature outside was indeed relatively low, Zhao Zixian took a sip, and the fat man introduced him to him: "Brother, this is a friend of mine, specializing in the study of ancient medicinal materials and precious medicinal materials, in our area, he is this ......" He also gave a thumbs up, and did not introduce his name to Zhao Zixian.
\t Even the fat man's name Zhao Zixian didn't know, of course, he didn't tell them his name, business is business, business is business, not mixed with any personal feelings in it, not to mention, such a person is not worthy of being his friend, so Zhao Zixian is also happy to be like this.
\t "Hello. Zhao Zixian nodded politely at the man, perhaps all scholars had the same posture that is, arrogance, just nodded slightly, and even the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
The fat man didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you really need that thousand-year-old ice mushroom?" There was a greedy fire in his eyes, in the past few days, he did not go out, but kept standing on the second floor to watch Zhao Zixian's performance, he just wanted to determine whether Zhao Zixian had the heart to buy a thousand-year-old ice mushroom, as always, insisted, it means that he needs ice mushroom very much, and the fat man can take the initiative in the price.
\tAfter all, he still wants to sell this thousand-year-old ice-mushroom as soon as possible, and this ice-mushroom is not so difficult to find in the Northeast, if you really need it, hire a team of old hunters into the mountains, and it doesn't cost much money to get it, but the year may not be a thousand years, it is also a hundred years, some decades, in short, it is best to turn the goods in your hands into money.
\t After three days, the fat man had already guessed that Zhao Zixian was eager to need a thousand years of ice mushrooms, although this person didn't look good, but his temperament was not ordinary, so the fat man called his friend over, in fact, it was his peer, a boss who received Chinese herbal medicines, the purpose was to play a double reed in front of Zhao Zixian, just to get greater profits.
\t"Of course. Zhao Zixian said loudly, put his backpack on the coffee table, took out ten stacks of tied banknotes, and said to the fat man: "Boss, this is 100,000, the margin you said, I need to see the millennium ice mushroom now." ”
As soon as they saw the money, the fat man and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, they didn't expect Zhao Zixian to be so happy, in fact, the fat man made up lies to deceive him, hoping that he would retreat from the difficulties, but now, the fat man wants to be impressed by Zhao Zixian, at least in this courage is much stronger than himself.
\t "Okay, you wait. The fat man looked at the ten stacks of banknotes that smelled of ink, dragged his bloated body up to the second floor, and after a while, he saw him come down with a small flower pot, and at the same time, he turned down the temperature a little.
\t It wasn't until the fifth day of coming to the Northeast that Zhao Zixian had the heart to get a glimpse of the whole picture, the thousand-year-old ice mushroom was placed in a flower pot, this flower pot is not big, but the inside is not mud but snow, all of it is snow, and even the ground of the flower pot can clearly see a few pieces and dregs, presumably in the ice cellar, which is indeed true.
\t Let's talk about this thousand-year-old ice-lucidum, as soon as Zhao Zixian got into his eyes, he felt an extremely cold breath rushing towards him, he almost shivered when he was cold, this thousand-year-old ice-lucidum is almost the same as Ganoderma lucidum, they are all layer-by-layer, but the whole body is snow-white, the flowers are like gardenias, snow-white and pure, and this is also the official time when the thousand-year-old ice-lucidum blooms the most.
After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Zixian raised a question: "This is Bingzhi, but how to determine his vintage?" He also searched for the shape of the thousand-year-old ice-mushroom on the Internet, although there has been no thousand-year-old ice-mushroom so far, but there are still many pictures of the ice-mushroom, not to mention that the current technology is very developed?
The picture above is exactly the same as this ice mushroom, but it is much smaller, but when you look at it up close, it feels different.
The fat man glanced at the middle-aged man, and the man leaned over and gently pointed to the ring-like marks on the ice mushroom with his finger and said, "Here, you see, this is the same as the tree's annual rings, if you count carefully, there are at least a thousand, which means that it is at least a thousand years old." After speaking, it seemed that it was none of his business again, sitting on the teacup and exchanging glances with the fat man, of course, Zhao Zixian didn't see it.
\tWhen Zhao Zixian heard him say this, he hurriedly took a closer look, isn't it? Each flower has annual rings on it, one for ten years, about twenty on one layer, five layers, and at least a thousand years old.
In fact, Zhao Zixian has long known that this ice mushroom is very old, and he can sense his age by his sense of smell. In those days in the guild hall, so many precious medicinal materials were used, plus the true qi in the body, as long as you feel it with your heart, you can know the year of the medicinal materials, although it is not absolutely accurate, but it is not much different.
\t "Alright, boss, you can make an offer." Zhao Zixian breathed a long sigh of relief, don't think he was relaxing, in fact he was nervous, he knew that the next thing was the most important, now I will show you, and then it is to negotiate the price.
\tPeople have called 'scholars', isn't that just trying to raise the price?
The fat man smiled without saying a word, took a sip of the teacup, and looked at Zhao Zixian fixedly, hoping to find something in his eyes, and he didn't feel cold.
\tZhao Zixian is depressed, can't you be refreshed? Don't you know it's cold in here?
\tThe fat man slowly raised two fingers and said, "Two million, no bargaining." ”
\t"What? "This price really scared Zhao Zixian, two million, what do you think this is? Although it is a rare ice mushroom, there are still dried ice mushrooms on the market, although the year is only 100 years, and it is not fresh, but the effect is not much worse if I buy more, even if I use the magic kitchen knife to sharpen it more, it will not be fine.
\tSo, he immediately screamed, but the fat man said confidently: "Brother, don't think the price is high, this is a thousand-year-old ice mushroom, you think, where do you get such a perfect preservation and such a fresh ice mushroom, only I have it here, so this price is still very appropriate." ”
Zhao Zixian hesitated, picked up the teacup and drank it all, as if he was sitting in a strong ideological struggle.
Seeing him like this, the fat man said again: "Brother, I also know that you came to buy ice mushrooms with a heart, and you are not from the Northeast to listen to your accent, and you are not a businessman, so I guess that you are in a hurry, and you didn't come all the way to buy this ice mushroom?" The higher the year of the ice mushroom, the more significant the effect, this is a very simple truth, don't worry, brother, let my friend tell you about the wonderful use of this ice mushroom. ”
