This is a very small courtyard, with two bungalows on the east side and two bungalows on the south side, and the top is made of iron steel bars for awnings, and there are many tools for handling herbs in the courtyard, including guillotines, medicine mortars, medicine mills, etc.

Chen Yuan followed the old man in, and then saw three people processing medicinal materials in the center of the courtyard, a tall young man facing the door, carefully processing a ginseng plant by the faucet, and the fresh medicinal materials that had not been processed on the ground next to it were neatly placed on the ground, and the processed ones had been placed in several dustpans to dry.

"Xiao Qi, you stop for a moment, as well as Ah Hong and Xiao Li, you all go to the side to rest. I brought this Mr. Chen over to see the medicinal herbs. Boss Zhao said.

The tall young man turned his head to look over, and when he saw that it was Boss Zhao, he quickly stood up and called out respectfully, "Master".

And Chen Yuan found out that there was a very large red birthmark on the left side of this person's face, and his height was almost 1.9 meters, which was very burly. However, this person's eyes were dull, and his expression was a little silly.

Boss Zhao nodded, agreed, and then walked towards the medicinal herbs in the corner with Chen Yuan.

The other two also stood up when they heard the sound, and also called "Master", and then went to drink tea under the eaves, only the tall young man named Xiao Qi followed, waiting by the old man's side.

There were some common Chinese herbs on the ground, and Boss Zhao didn't speak, just looked at Chen Yuan with his eyes.

Chen Yuan swept his eyes wide, his gaze swept over the many medicinal herbs on the ground, and finally crouched down next to a ginseng wrapped in bark and moss.

When Boss Zhao saw this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he actually looked away, this young man was actually an expert...... The other party can recognize the best medicinal materials in this courtyard at a glance, and this skill in distinguishing medicine is already very high, and among his several apprentices, only Xiao Qi has this ability.

"Please open it up. After Chen Yuan felt a strong aura fluctuation, he stretched out his hand and signaled.

When buying valuables, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the buyer generally does not touch the goods immediately, but will not start until the seller shows the goods and confirms that they are in good condition.

"Little Seven. Boss Zhao smiled slightly.

"Yes, Master. ”

Xiao Qi squatted down, carefully untied the rope from the bark, and then peeled off the moist moss little by little, suddenly revealing a ginseng the thickness of a little thumb inside.

Chen Yuan squatted down and took a closer look. This ginseng plant has complete roots and leaves, and it is more than 30 years old, which is also very difficult. However, I don't know if it was the carelessness of the herb picker or the negligence in the later transportation process, a small hole was actually made in the middle of this ginseng plant. The medicinal effect was not lost, but Chen Yuan could feel that the aura of this ginseng had lost a lot.

Chen Yuan felt a little regretful in his heart, this wild ginseng has been picked for almost two days, if there is no small opening, I am afraid that the aura will be a quarter more, and now, it is enough to buy one more medicine. Chen Yuan shook his head and asked, "Does the boss have any medicinal materials with better quality?"

Seeing Chen Yuan shaking his head, Boss Zhao couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he bought this wild ginseng at a high price, could it be that there was something wrong?

Then he smiled, he personally bought this ginseng, it was definitely wild, it was impossible to catch the eye, he smiled: "There is no fresh one, but there are still some concocted ones, Mr. Chen wants to take a look?"

"Forget it, it's concocted, it's not very useful to me. Chen Yuan waved his hand, stood up, and then pointed to a few other Panax notoginseng plants on the ground, as well as another pile of kudzu vines, and said, "I want all of these, plus this ginseng." How much does the boss count?"

Boss Zhao was happy in his eyes, then slapped his palm very calmly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen should also see that my ginseng is produced in Changbai Mountain, and it has grown naturally for at least thirty-five years, and it is in excellent condition." The price is 80,000 yuan. And these plants of notoginseng, there are ten heads, count you 4,000 pounds. As for these kudzu vines, even if you have 500 fine. ”

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, frowned and looked at the wild ginseng on the ground: "Ginseng is expensive, 60,000." The rest is as you quoted. "Chen Yuan is not a person who likes to reduce prices, but he doesn't have much money on him, so it's better to save a little or save a little.

Boss Zhao said "ouch", as if Chen Yuan had cut his flesh, and said with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Chen, I can't collect 60,000 yuan, and you are too ruthless to bargain." In this way, I will let you take a step and give you a thousand less, don't you think?"

Chen Yuan was in a hurry to go back, so he didn't want to say anything, glanced at him, and said in a firm tone: "It's 60,000, don't raise the price with me again, otherwise I'll turn around and leave." Your wild ginseng is fresh, but there are cracks on the body, and the value of it is discounted to me. Also, this plant of yours is not Changbai Mountain wild ginseng at all, but a five-leaf ginseng produced in Shuzhou wood, just look at the moss and bark. ”

was exposed on the spot, and Boss Zhao's smile suddenly became a little stiff, this is a medicinal material collected by himself, how can he not know the origin of this wild ginseng. He also saw that Chen Yuan was young, and wanted to try to fool around again, if he succeeded, wouldn't he be able to earn an extra twenty or thirty thousand, anyway, the effect of the medicine was about the same.

Moreover, he knew about the wound on the ginseng when he bought it, and if it was concocted, he would naturally not be able to see it. But he didn't expect that a young man who looked less than twenty years old would have such poisonous eyes!

He thought to himself, he took it and spent forty-nine thousand, and it was only a little more than an hour, and he could make a net profit of ten thousand, and it was okay. He smiled and didn't defend anything: "The future is terrifying, Mr. Chen's eyes are like a torch, then according to the price you said, we will be a friend of yours." ”

Chen Yuan nodded, the businessman pursued profits, and he didn't plan to pursue anything, so he would cause trouble in vain.

Immediately, Boss Zhao instructed Xiao Qi to wrap the wild ginseng on the ground with moss and bark again, and found a wooden box to hold it. He Shou Wu and Ge Teng are also full of gold.

The two parties quickly completed the transaction. After the money was paid, there was not much money left in Chen Yuan's bank card.

"The medicinal materials I bought are enough to refine two pairs of 'Dragon and Tiger Quenching Body Pills' at most, and if you want to refine other medicines for cultivation, you have to find another way. ”

Chen Yuan thought about it and waited for a moment.

Xiao Qi went to find a snakeskin bag and put all the medicinal herbs he bought into it. When he was discharged from the hospital, Chen Yuan's eyes inadvertently swept over an earthy yellow whetstone under the faucet, and his steps were stunned!

The earthy yellow whetstone looked like an ordinary stone, and it could be found everywhere along the river. It's just that the white python stripes on it make it look so beautiful.

A small area at the top of the stone has smooth signs of wear and tear, and it looks like it has been used as a whetstone for a long time. Before, he looked at the medicinal herbs, but he didn't notice it at all.

Boss Zhao saw Chen Yuan stop, and asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Chen have anything else to buy?"

Chen Yuan pointed to the whetstone under the faucet: "That stone is good, with a base, it can be used as a landscape stone, does the boss sell it?"

"Sell, why don't you sell. Boss Zhao glanced at the whetstone, except that the white pattern was a little good-looking, and he didn't see anything unusual. However, he said in a very firm tone, "Mr. Chen is right, this fast stone is indeed a viewing stone, or my eldest brother brought it back from Mount Emei the year before last, the mountain is high and the road is far away, it is very rare, and the freight cost a few thousand." ”

What a profiteer, can really climb up the pole, Chen Yuan felt a little funny, but said lightly: "I'll take a look first." ”

"Yes, this stone is the one left over from my eldest brother's previous pick, you see, if you like it, we will negotiate a price." ”

Boss Zhao said with a smile, while quietly staring at Chen Yuan's face, deciding to decide the price according to the situation.

Xiao Qi on the side wanted to speak and stopped, this stone was obviously a whetstone that the master asked him to pick up by the river in order to save money, how could it suddenly become a viewing stone brought back by Mount Emei, he touched his head with some confusion.

Chen Yuan's hand touched the white python pattern of the stone, and he immediately felt a cool breath coming from his fingertips, and then looked down at the very smooth side of the grinding ground, mixed with a faint bright yellow in the yellow. Immediately, he mobilized a trace of spiritual energy into the meridians, and the next moment, he felt a pure and huge spiritual energy hidden inside the whetstone.

Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, this turned out to be a piece of ...... Purple chalcedony!
