Mobile reading
Ye Qing shook his head and smiled, but Qian Duoduo still didn't give up.
"Do you know anyone who is a master? I heard that your master, Nanhai Shenni, is a peerless master who thinks he is superb. ”
Qian Duoduo asked with a flame of anticipation burning in his eyes.
"Ah...... My master is a Nanhai Shenni? Ye Qing's eyes widened in surprise, how could she not know.
"Isn't your master a South Sea Shenni? It's spread all over the city! Qian Duoduo exclaimed.
"Uh...... I only said that my master was a nun, right? Ye Qing muttered and glanced at Qian Junbao.
Could it be that there is a South China Sea god and nun in this world who understands medical skills.
So Qian Junbao misunderstood?!
She was just about to ask something, but Qian Junbao coughed a few times.
Ye Qing immediately said to Qian Duoduo: "I don't know if my master is a South China Sea Shenni, she didn't identify herself when I saw her.
As for the martial arts masters, I really don't know.
Okay, let's not talk about that.
Now that they're all out, let's go outside and have a little more shopping, shall we? Just when I wanted to buy something. ”
Qian Duoduo wanted to say something more, but Qian Junbao had already opened his mouth first: "Lady, let's go to the warehouse first to take a look at those fake abalones, right?" ”
"Well, don't you say I forgot about it." Ye Qing nodded.
Soon, the old man of Ruisheng Hall took Qian Junbao and them to the warehouse.
The old man took out the bag of fake dried abalone and put it in a sunny place for Qian Junbao to watch.
Qian Junbao didn't know how to distinguish this, seeing that the contents of the bag were no different from the dried abalone he had eaten before, he didn't do anything.
looked at Ye Qingdao and said, "Lady, please take a look."
Ye Qing quickly picked one up, observed it in the sun for a while, and quickly said, "It is indeed a fake, this is made by drying a stone turtle." ”
"What is a turtle?" Qian Junbao asked.
Ye Qing explained slowly: "The stone turtle is also a flat-bottomed snail like abalone, and the dried abalone sold in the market has been shelled.
The shape is slightly boat-shaped, and one side is very smooth, which is the flat-bottomed part of the abalone.
The turtle also has well-developed feet, and the soles of the feet are also flat, so they can be used to pass off as abalone with a little processing. ”
"I see." Qian Junbao was stunned.
The so-called "hard-to-buy double-headed abalone", large abalone can only be enjoyed by those who are powerful, and the best abalone civilians are not qualified to enjoy it at all.
The grades above the two dried abalone are tribute, and generally wealthy families buy second-class or third-class products.
A good abalone should first look at the appearance, the body shape is intact, the fish body is round and the back is thick, fat and meaty, the bead edge is even, the yuan is notched, and the crack is the best product.
In addition, abalone is also divided into old and new, the freshly dried is called "new water", and the storage for more than one or two years is called "old water".
It is better to start a "sugar heart", and the longer the time, the more valuable it is, as the saying goes, "saving dry abalone is more valuable than saving gold".
The abalone in Daewoo is all Jishiin abalone from the North Sea and the South China Sea.
This kind of abalone can be said to be the top grade of abalone, produced in the sea area above Yuezhou, the shape is like a boat, the shape is regular, the side spines are few, and there is a fragrance in the smell.
Jipin abalone is much more expensive than the net abalone from Nanyang, and many unscrupulous businessmen use net abalone to sell it by pretending to be Jipin abalone.
But this one is not a fake abalone.
It is precisely because of the high price of dried abalone that some mercenary people have come up with something like fake abalone.
Generally, worthless "dried stone turtles" are sold as "dried abalone" to make huge profits.
They first dye the turtles, and then dry them in the furnace to form dry outside and wet inside.
It's just that this kind of counterfeit abalone tastes the same as chewing wax after it is cooked, which is no different from eating hard rice cakes.
After hearing Ye Qing's words, the old man also praised happily: "Before, Shopkeeper Hua relied on years of experience and made a careful comparison with real abalone to find out that this is a fake abalone.
Unexpectedly, the second young lady would find out what this thing was called after a casual look.
Next time, we have to pay attention to this thing, the person who sold us this fake abalone is really hateful, and if he is caught, he must be sent to the official. ”
Ye Qing nodded: "I really want to send these liars to the official for investigation and punishment to set an example." ”
"I really want to thank the lady today, whatever the lady wants to buy in a while, I will buy it for you for my husband."
After speaking, Qian Junbao took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets he brought from his body and put them all into Ye Qing's hand, "These are not enough to spend, tell me again." ”
Ye Qing looked at the small stack of one hundred taels of silver tickets in his hand, the corners of his lips curled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile on his face: "I want to buy flowers and plants, I don't know if Xianggong has studied flowers and plants?" ”
"I know a little bit about it." Qian Junbao nodded.
"That's the best, let's go, and after buying flowers and plants, we'll find a place outside for lunch."
"Listen to you, Duoduo, go and arrange the carriage." After Qian Junbao finished speaking, he took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Ye Qing to wipe his hands.
Ye Qing shook his head, "It's better to wash it, touch this fake abalone, and your fingers are fishy." ”
Just when Ye Qing and the others left Ruisheng Hall, the people sent by Shopkeeper Hua had already caught Meng Si, who had bought this batch of abalone.
It's just that he kept shouting that the abalone he purchased was definitely genuine, because he not only gave these abalone to Ruisheng Hall, but also to several other seafood shops belonging to Qian Junhao.
He definitely didn't cheat, and he didn't dare, and he didn't know that there was a fake abalone.
It's just that this matter has to wait for the people in the government to check it before making a conclusion.
Now he said that it was useless to shout to break the sky.
……
Chong'an is not big, and the area of the inner city is actually not as large as Chongyang Town, but the number of people is more than half, so the market here is very lively every day.
Not to mention the dense population, there are also many academies, and there are also several family studies, and Confucian students with green shirts and square scarves can be seen everywhere.
The literary style is prosperous, and there are naturally many merchants, but the merchants who can really be called prosperous are basically opened by local wealthy businessmen.
The rest of the small-scale shops opened by ordinary people are surviving in the cracks, and they are just barely making ends meet.
After getting out of the carriage, Ye Qing and Qian Junbao chatted while walking, and when they came to a corner, they saw a tall gray wooden archway standing, with three simple words written on it, "Flower and Grass Collection".
When he walked over from the first flower shop, Ye Qing found that there were not many shops that really sold flowers and plants here, more shops selling some Chinese herbal medicines, and some calligraphy, painting and literature shops.
Walking into a flower shop "Lantingxiang", which is supposed to be the largest here, Ye Qing found that almost all the shops sold were orchids and some bonsai with unique shapes.
However, most of the people here are Jianlan, commonly known as Xia Lan and also known as Qiu Lan, Jianlan is a variety that blooms in all seasons named after the place name of Jianzhou, and the price is not high.
