Chapter 0139: Gambling on Stone Medicine
Ye Wudao walked around the stalls in this retail trading market, and found that as others said, there were some shoddy medicinal herbs, and there were even a lot of fakes, such as some rotten wood roots that were disguised and sold as old ginseng.
As soon as these stall owners saw Ye Wudao coming, they immediately enthusiastically promoted their medicinal materials to him, and also boasted that their medicinal materials were in the sky and in the earth.
For example, the old farmers of Changbai Mountain risked their lives to pick medicinal herbs under the cliffs, or the hundred-year-old yellow essence found in the sinkhole of a certain 100,000-big mountain, etc., anyway, there is a fool, and the three-year-old ginseng, they absolutely dare to sell it as a century-old ginseng of Changbai Mountain.
It's okay for them to fool some people who don't know how to do it, but if they want to fool Ye Wudao, it's a waste of saliva, and what about the ginseng that has been yellow essence for a hundred years and a thousand years, you think it's a big radish!
Unconsciously, Ye Wudao came to the place where he gambled on drugs, and found that there were crowds of people here, and there were some so-called experts talking about the world, and the head of the analysis was Tao, and everyone around him was like a star.
Ye Wudao listened curiously for a few minutes, and found that the words of these experts were simply farting, if it was so easy, he would have made a fortune a long time ago, what kind of expert should he be.
Gambling stones and gambling drugs are actually the same in essence, both hope to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, which is completely a stimulating gambler's psychology, just like gambling stones, hoping to make a fortune overnight.
However, gambling medicine has only begun to rise in recent years, there was no such thing before, with the excessive development of the earth, the environment has deteriorated, those precious medicinal materials are becoming more and more scarce, and they are becoming more and more valuable, and some medicinal materials are consumables, which cannot be artificially planted, just like the bamboo shoots in the stone, even if you want to plant this kind of medicinal material, there is no way to plant this thing, it is just like those jade and coal, and there is no more after digging.
Ye Wudao came to one of the shops that sold raw materials, and found that there were indeed a lot of raw materials in it that had not yet been opened, but the most were the raw materials of the bamboo shoots in the stone, after all, this kind of medicinal material was the most difficult to find, and it was also the most popular medicinal material.
The bamboo shoots in the stone have the reputation of diamonds in medicine, starting from 10,000 yuan per gram, and this is still the lowest quality, if the good quality is even as high as 100,000, the year before last, someone opened ten grams of the bamboo shoots king in the store where Ye Wudao is now, and sold it at a price of 10 million, one million grams, which is more profitable than gambling on jade.
Jade jade is just an ornament, even if there is no death, but medicinal materials are good things that can save people's lives, the so-called gold is hard to find, and good medicinal materials are almost priceless.
It's like the price of the king of Cordyceps sinensis has already broken through six figures, because this thing is also a consumable, and it is gone after digging, and it is not yet possible to plant it artificially, as well as musk, bezoar, dog treasure, saffron, etc., many medicinal materials are expensive.
As for why the price of bamboo shoots is so expensive, it is because this medicinal material can effectively treat liver cancer, although it cannot completely cure liver cancer at present, but at least it can prolong the life of liver cancer patients for more than ten years, so global pharmaceutical companies do not hesitate to spend high prices to buy this medicinal material that cannot be replaced at present.
In fact, many terminal diseases are not incurable, but there are no corresponding medicinal materials, just like the kiss of death, for the global medical community, this is an incurable disease at present, but Ye Wudao can be cured, but there is only one Ye Wudao in this world, and many patients who have the kiss of death can only wait for death in despair.
Ye Wudao looked at a store and found that many people were selecting raw materials for bamboo shoots in the store, these raw materials were from different production areas, and the prices in each production area were different, some were high and some were low, but most of them came from the four major production areas that produced bamboo shoots.
Of course, these are not ordinary stones, they should be called soft stones, they are the outside, soft on the inside, like a beehive on the inside, and they are much lighter than ordinary stones.
Like this kind of soft stone, even if you use a perspective machine, you can't see the inside, otherwise, these shops have already used the perspective machine to find out the bamboo shoots in the stone, and it is because there is no way to determine whether there are bamboo shoots in the stone, so the gambling drug industry will be born.
To tell whether there are bamboo shoots in the stone, many people can only rely on guesswork and luck, but there are also so-called experts who have summed up some experience, and the head of the analysis is the way.
One look, two touches, three smells, four knocks, the so-called look, is to look at the color of the stone, the smoother the appearance of the stone, the easier it is to fall short.
The second touch is to touch the lines on the stone, the more complex the lines, the greater the chance of shipment.
If there are bamboo shoots in the stone, the stone smells, there will be a faint medicinal fragrance, but most people smell the smell of earth, since the expert said so, everyone will do it, regardless of whether it makes sense.
The four knocks are to use the joints of the hand to knock on the stone, and it is said that if there are bamboo shoots in the stone, the sound of the knock is different, but as for what is different, the experts did not say.
However, these five experiences are regarded as treasures by people who gamble on medicine, and I saw that they were all looking at and touching and smelling and knocking in it, and choosing the stones that they were sure of, which made Ye Wudao feel crying and laughing, in their way, they could find the bamboo shoots in the stone to have ghosts, but there were many people, there would always be one or two lucky people, naturally, this method was established.
You see, that's how I found the bamboo shoots in the stone, can you say that it didn't work? You didn't find it because you didn't have experience, or you had a black face, you were unlucky, you didn't wash your hands when you went to the toilet or something.
In Ye Wudao's medicinal bath, there happened to be a medicinal herb that needed to use the bamboo shoots in the stone, so he came here, for Ye Wudao, he didn't need to knock to touch and smell anything at all, he only needed to use the Qi Observation Technique to be able to see which stone had the existence of bamboo shoots in the stone, but others didn't have his ability.
Ye Wudao didn't pay attention to those crazy gamblers, but looked around in the warehouse where the raw materials of the bamboo shoots in the stone were stacked, and at this glance, whether there were bamboo shoots in the stone or not, he couldn't escape his qi observation technique, because the raw materials of the bamboo shoots in the stone would release a dark yellow light that was invisible to the naked eye.
Ye Wudao saw that there were indeed a lot of raw materials in it that exuded a dark yellow light, but these lights were very dim, which proved that the quality of these stone shoots was not high, although the quantity was not much, but at least it was in stock, and not all of them were in the air force.
