0033: Leather door
The black-faced man not only did not lower the price.
He was extremely shocked and said that in his canvas bag, it was just 300,000.
Gu Mingshu on the side saw this scene, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "That big black face is really a big fool, and I don't even know if I am being tricked." A fist-sized gold pimple is not worth 300,000, not to mention that the gold medal is thin and narrow, and it will not exceed 100,000 yuan. ”
I took over and said, "It's not just a trap, I'm afraid that the gold medal is also fake." It's copper on the inside, and there's just a layer of gold on the outside. ”
Mr. Zuo told me about some charlatans, and there were similar scenes.
Gilt copper was used to pass off as gold, and aluminum alloy was used as a silver dollar.
There are also fakes and worn-out, etc., which are the usual methods of charlatans.
This kind of charlatan is called "Lao Yue".
Jianghu Lao Rong and Jianghu Lao Yue, most of them are from the side door.
Some so-called famous and decent families are also engaged in Lao Rong and Lao Yue.
As long as you eat the bowl of rice in the rivers and lakes, most of them are out of the way.
There are very few gangs in the rivers and lakes that really do not steal, steal, or cheat, and almost non-existent.
Therefore, the rivers and lakes are full of traps, and they are full of deception.
In this scam, the old man who sells gold medals is Lao Yue.
The "mouse face" of the old man next to him is actually a nursery with the old man.
and the people who eat melons around are also covering for the old man.
They have only one purpose: to make the black-faced man Zhang Tieniu pay for the old man's gold medal.
After Mr. Zuo heard the conversation between me and Gu Mingshu, he shook his head lightly and said, "You two only see that the seller is an old moon in the rivers and lakes, but you don't know that this old moon will be planted today." The real hunter is the buyer who seems to have been deceived. ”
Gu Mingshu and I looked at Mr. Zuo in confusion.
Ding Xiaoyan and Han Linfeng on the side also waited for Mr. Zuo to continue.
Mr. Zuo turned his head and said nothing, and walked straight to a stall selling medicine in front of him.
The stall owner was a small old man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, with two mustaches and a large dark red mole on the bridge of his nose.
A group of people surrounded before the drug disaster.
I was engrossed in listening to the little old man introduce the symptoms and causes of various diseases.
"A cough is a cough, a cough is a cough, a sound without phlegm is a cough, and a phlegm without a sound is a cough. If there is sound and phlegm, it is called coughing. White phlegm is light, black phlegm is heavy, and spitting yellow phlegm will kill. I'm not afraid of spitting, I'm afraid of bloody sputum......"
"The blood is like a Yangtze River, if there is less than one injury, the cold will become a disease, and the blood fever will become a sore......"
After the little old man talked about several illnesses one after another, he changed his words and said: "The ancestral secret recipe cures all diseases." Sixty-four herbs are prepared, there is no bezoar dog treasure in it, there is no pearl ginseng, and it is all common weeds in the field. ”
"Home remedies can cure serious diseases, and herbal medicines kill famous doctors. Our medicine is not expensive, ten yuan and two pills......"
After a pause, he continued: "Today, in order to pass on my reputation, I halved the price of the medicine, and sold it for five yuan and two pills, and only sold ten copies in total. After ten servings, ten yuan and two pills, and one less will not be sold. I, Sun Yutang, don't sell medicine to make money, just to pass on my reputation, if I don't go small, I won't come big. If you don't go to fame, you can't get profit. ”
Mr. Zuo told me that this little old man named Sun Yutang was the shopkeeper of Pimen.
I know all about the "Eight Gates of the Rivers and Lakes".
"Skin" is a general term for selling medicine in the rivers and lakes, and it is also called "picking a man". In the leather door, the one who sells eye medicine is called "the one who provokes the man", because the eyes are called "zhaozi" in the Jianghu dialect.
Those who sell plasters are called "pickers and gnawers".
In the past, the Jianghu Lang who walked the streets and alleys belonged to Pimen.
The craftsmanship of Pimen can be subdivided into eighteen kinds, such as dental care, eye diseases, foot diseases and so on.
The leather gate is often connected with the golden gate and is called "nine gold and eighteen skins".
Nowadays, small advertisements for treatment are posted on the walls and telephone poles, which also belong to leather doors.
It's just that these belong to the side line that does not enter the leather door.
The disciples of Pimen have a clear division of labor and strict hierarchies.
The lowest level of outer disciples can only monopolize one type of medicine.
And the highest level of the big shopkeeper, there is no limit.
There are also shopkeepers, managers, and hall masters under the big treasurer.
The hall masters are collectively referred to as disciples below.
Sun Yutang is respected as the shopkeeper of the leather door, but he sells medicine on the street, and he sells very low-end medicine, which is quite incomprehensible.
The people gathered around the medicine stand.
Hearing Sun Yutang say that today's medicine was only sold at half price, he suddenly became commotionous and swarmed in.
There are also many people in the periphery who are afraid that they will not be able to grab the discounted pills.
A young man in a yellow shirt, like a monkey.
The crowd slipped past us, and in a matter of moments it took us to crowd in front of the medicine stall.
Ten discounted pills were quickly snapped up.
The yellow-shirted boy was unlucky, and left the crowd empty-handed.
After taking a dozen steps, he suddenly turned around and glanced meaningfully at us.
Everyone's attention was focused on the medicine stall, and they didn't pay attention to the young man's actions at all.
By this time, the medicine stall was boiling like a pot of boiling water.
Those who grabbed it were happy, and those who didn't grab it complained about it, blaming themselves for their bad luck.
Sun Yutang's mung bean eyes rolled.
The two mustaches shook up and down, pretending to be very distressed and said: "My magic medicine is big and profitable, and today in order to spread the name, I will sell ten more special medicines." If you buy it, you can pass it on to me, and don't worry if you don't buy it, I'll give you a dog skin plaster for free. ”
"Although my dog skin plaster cannot cure all diseases, it specializes in treating incurable diseases and has the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing swelling...... But let's say it first, if you grabbed the medicine just now, don't join in the fun anymore and leave the opportunity to others. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was another commotion in front of the medicine stall.
Those who rob medicine, those who hand over money, are huddled together.
Sun Yutang took the money and threw it in the wooden box casually, without looking at it.
Half-price pills are sold out again.
Sun Yutang did not break his promise, and gave a plaster to those who did not grab the half-price pills.
At this moment, everyone jumped up excitedly and praised Sun Yutang's noble medical virtues.
Hanging pots to help the world do not seek fame and fortune, but only for the common people to be free from illness and suffering.
Mr. Zuo took everyone and stood about ten meters away from the medicine stall, quietly watching.
Li Fuqiang and Zhou Yanxiao were a little impatient with Mr. Zuo.
Especially Li Fuqiang, the injury on his hand is not healed, and he is not in the mood to hang out with everyone at all.
If it weren't for Zhou Yanxiao, he wouldn't have come out at all.
Li Fuqiang's face was a little ugly.
But in front of Mr. Zuo, it was not easy to attack.
There were only twenty copies of the pills that Sun Yutang said were amazing, and all of them were sold at half price.
The dog skin plaster has also been delivered.
According to Pimen's script, the plot is going on at this point, and Sun Yutang should be about to sell other "miracle medicines".
These "miracle medicines" are even more powerful than the pills just now, and they have the effect of reviving the dead.
Of course, the price will not be cheap either.
It's even ridiculously expensive.
First use small favors to attract bricks and jade, and gain the trust of customers.
And then through the so-called rare elixir, sell it at a high price to make a profit.
This is the usual trick of Pimen.
Someone will ask.
Will these people who squeeze their brains to buy special-priced drugs really pay for ridiculously expensive high-priced drugs?
