Chapter 491 True and False Shouwu (3)
After agreeing on the time and place, Chen Xiaobei arrived first.
Just taking the time to study two pills, Chen Xiaobei found that there are many elixir that need to be used, all of which are not found on earth.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei has the Sacred Heart of Wenqu, and has a very strong ability to infer other things.
Soon a new plan was devised to replace those without elixir with traditional Chinese medicines that could be found on earth.
Doing so will of course greatly reduce the efficacy of the medicine, but at the moment, the target of the medicine is only the people of the earth, and the anti-sky effect of the elixir level is not needed!
Ye Liangchen then felt that he took Chen Xiaobei to the Chinese herbal medicine market.
As the capital of the country, Longdu, the best resources in the whole country, are all concentrated here, and Chinese medicinal materials are no exception.
The huge Chinese herbal medicine market can be described as all-encompassing.
Many medicinal materials that are hard to find in other places can be found in this field.
There will even be some exotic remedies appearing, which look weird, but they can all get a little bit of the medicinal herbs.
For example, the "chicken treasure" like pebbles, the "Tai Sui" like fat meat, and the "He Shou Wu" like virgins and girls, it can be said that there are all kinds of things!
As for whether these things are really useful, you need a certain amount of professional knowledge and vision to judge.
As the saying goes, if you don't keep your eyes open, you can only consider yourself unlucky if you buy fake products.
Ye Liangchen asked curiously, "Brother Bei is also interested in these strange things?"
"No interest, almost all fakes." Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
There is "Compendium of Materia Medica" by heart, as well as fiery eyes and gossip watching Qi. Chen Xiaobei can tell at a glance whether the medicinal materials are true or false and their value.
"Brother Bei is wise!" Ye Liangchen said with a smile: "Nine out of ten people who Taobao here lose money!"
"Could there be one more that can be earned?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Yes! There are really lucky people who can pick up leaks here!"
Ye Liangchen said: "Not long ago, there was a student from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine who was hanging out here and bought a real Shilingzhi for 1,000 yuan! It was sold to a large pharmacy and sold for 800,000 yuan! I really picked it up. A big leak!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded: "It takes good luck to pick up a leak. If I encounter it, I will not miss it, but now my goal is very clear. I will go and collect what I need first."
"clear!"
Ye Liangchen said immediately: "In this medicinal material market, the drugstore with the most complete range of medicines and the highest quality is the Wu Family Pharmacy! It's over there."
Under the leadership of Ye Liangchen, he soon arrived in front of a quaint Chinese-style pavilion.
There is an old sandalwood plaque hanging in front of the gate, with the five characters of "Wu Family Pharmacy" written on the iron and silver hook, which is full of momentum and has a long history.
"Brother Bei, it's here!" Ye Liangchen spread his hands to lead the way.
As soon as the footsteps entered, there was a long medicinal fragrance wafting.
Looking around, all kinds of medicinal materials are displayed around, it can be described as a dazzling array, there are countless!
"Is there anything I can do to help you two?"
A salesperson greeted him politely, and his face changed immediately: "Oh! Isn't this Young Master Ye? What kind of wind brought you here?"
"Call your big boss Niu." Ye Liangchen gave an order casually, expressionless.
Although the Ye family is not a top-tier wealthy family, it is still well-known in Longdu, and it is absolutely unattainable for ordinary people of the middle and lower classes.
"The shopkeeper is collecting medicine, you may have to wait." The salesman said politely.
"Yeah." Ye Liangchen was a little upset, but didn't say it.
After all, the status of the big shopkeeper is unusual, and even Ye Liangchen has to give this face.
In this time-honored pharmacy, the big shopkeepers are all famous old Chinese medicine practitioners! Not only is he proficient in medical skills, but he also knows the medicinal materials like the back of his hand.
Whether you are a high-ranking official or a martial arts master, who hasn't had three disasters and two diseases?
Seeking a doctor and asking for medicine is inevitable!
So, if you offend anyone, don't offend the famous doctor!
Famous doctors at the level of Lao Lao, I don't know how many dignitaries cry and shout to treat him as a guest!
Whoever dares to move Lao Lao, I am afraid that half of the big figures in Longdu will be angry!
In the same way, offending the big shopkeeper here will definitely anger the big boss behind the pharmacy, the Wu family!
"Brother Bei, shall we sit down and have a cup of tea first?" Ye Liangchen said in a questioning tone.
"Idle is also idle, let's go and see what medicine the big shopkeeper is collecting!" Chen Xiaobei said.
Ye Liangchen winked at the salesman, who immediately led the way to a counter inside, but didn't go there, just stood a few meters away and watched.
"The old man has already said that you are artificially raised He Shouwu! Don't think that the old man can't see it, this is a human shape pressed out of a mold!"
Inside the counter, a grey-haired old man spoke in an impatient tone.
Obviously, he is the cattle shopkeeper!
"Old gentleman! Take a good look at me, this is definitely a wild Shouwu!"
A young man said anxiously: "I can swear, I dug this out from Linquan Mountain! How could it be artificially raised?"
"I've seen all those Shouwu that are pressed with molds outside. The white and tender ones are fake at first glance! Look at me, the skin is as dry as tree bark! And this human shape is completely different from theirs!"
Humanoid?
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xiaobei immediately squinted and looked over.
On the counter, there is a piece of rhizome-like medicinal material that is more than 20 centimeters long.
"This is a wild Shouwu! And the age is about five hundred years, which is extremely rare!"
Chen Xiaobei was calm on the surface, but his heart was racing inside.
Polygonum multiflorum is a necessary raw material for refining the burning marrow pill, and the age directly determines the final effect of the pill!
Chen Xiaobei thought it would be good to buy a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.
I really didn't expect that I could meet a tree that is 500 years old! Take it no matter what!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei did not interrupt.
There are rules in all walks of life. Since the shopkeeper Niu is already talking about this business, Chen Xiaobei can't step in.
This is the most basic morality.
"Don't say those are useless, what evidence do you have to prove that this is a wild Shouwu?" The shopkeeper Niu said impatiently: "If you have evidence, just say it, and if there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense with me!"
"Sir! I really didn't lie to you! We can swear that if I tell half a lie, we will tell me to go out and get hit by a car!" The young man was very anxious.
As a layman, besides knowing that Shouwu was dug from the mountains, how could he produce any evidence?
"Alright, alright! Young man, I see that you are also in urgent need of money. The old man is willing to pay 500 yuan to buy your Shouwu! If you think it is suitable, the old man will pay for it! There is no need to swear for a medicinal herb!"
Boss Niu shrugged, with a magnanimous look, but there was a subtle cunning in his eyes!
"Huh?" Chen Xiaobei just noticed the old man's eyes, and immediately made a judgment in his heart: "It turns out to be an old liar!"
