People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"I'm lucky today. The place where I put the hook happened to be a turtle's nest. There were other small turtles there. I thought I would catch the big ones and let the small ones go. I will catch more when they grow up." Lin Yi explained briefly but didn't say too much for fear of causing trouble.

Fortunately, everyone was not like Yan Fugui in the front yard. They did not have the habit of digging into the details, so no one asked where Lin Yi was caught.

"A turtle shell this big must cost a lot of money. The small turtles that Lin Yi brought back a few times ago only sold their shells for 20 cents each. This big one must cost several thousand dollars," said Liu Mei, looking at the huge turtle under the pond.

"Lin Yi, go quickly to the nearest Tong Ren Tang Chinese medicine shop and ask them to deal with this old turtle. The turtle's blood and turtle shell are very valuable. A turtle this big must be at least several decades old." The old lady thought of something and quickly said to Lin Yi.

"Okay, grandma, I'll go find the master from the medicine shop first." Lin Yi wanted to say it was not worth it. After all, he had quite a few such big turtles in his portable farm. If he specially raised a batch, the number would be enough to scare people to death.

However, I still agreed to the old lady's request. After all, the old lady had good intentions.

Lin Yi pushed his bicycle and went out of the courtyard.

"Grandma, you just let Brother Lin Yi take charge. I was thinking of keeping some of the old turtle's blood and mixing it with white wine to drink slowly." He Yuzhu said to the old lady unhappily. In front of the old lady, He Yuzhu did not hide anything and spoke directly from his heart.

"What do you know, you silly boy? It would be a waste if you cut such a big turtle with one knife. Do you think all good things can be soaked in wine?" the old lady replied.

Maybe after living with Lin Yi, the old lady's life has been getting better and better. The deaf old lady pretends less and less, and talks more among people she knows.

In the past, the old lady would have pretended to be deaf to He Yuzhu's words.

"You guys are going to use this giant turtle to cook, it's simply a waste of natural resources."

Sun Datong, the master of medicinal materials at Tong Ren Tang, was overjoyed when he saw the five giant turtles in the pond.

No matter what, I would never agree to use this big turtle for cooking.

"This giant turtle is at least fifty years old. It's not easy for it to grow this big here, where the temperature is low. The medicinal effect of this turtle is also stronger and better than the giant turtles in the south."

"You use this to cook. Even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were not as extravagant as you."

Sun Datong explained to Lin Yi the difference between the northern giant turtle and the southern giant turtle.

Everyone in the courtyard thought that this turtle must be a rare creature since it was so big. They didn’t expect Sun Datong to have such a high opinion of it.

"Lin Yi, since this giant turtle is so precious, why don't you give it to Master Sun and the others to deal with? It would be a waste to use such a good thing to cook."

Liu Mei persuaded from the side.

He Yuzhu didn't dare to say that he wanted to kill the giant turtle at this moment, and he persuaded him: "Brother Lin Yi, it's a waste to cook such a good thing. We are just going to have a new house banquet, so we can just get some chicken and duck. It's better to exchange this good thing for money."

Lin Yi now understood that he had accidentally released a big satellite. In this day and age, there is no such thing as breeding big turtles. In the future, let alone a turtle weighing ten kilograms, even a turtle weighing twenty or thirty kilograms can be raised in a farm for three to five years.

"Okay, I'll think of a way to deal with the meat and vegetables. I won't kill this turtle. Master Sun, how much can this turtle sell for?"

Since you have decided not to eat the giant turtle, selling it is obviously the best option.

"Such a good turtle has always been a priceless commodity. I won't hide it from you. If we really go by the market price, it's hard to say.

To be honest, it is not as good as the hundred-year-old ginseng, but it is not much weaker. Considering the price of this ginseng, I can make the decision and offer a price of 1,200 yuan per piece."

Sun Datong named a price, and everyone present took a deep breath.

One big turtle costs twelve thousand, five big turtles would cost six thousand.

He Yuzhu's monthly salary, plus job allowance, is only 31 yuan at present. This requires He Yuzhu to work for 200 months without eating or drinking, which is almost 20 years. It can be said that this is the amount of money He Yuzhu can earn in his entire life.

Lin Yi didn't expect that these five big turtles could be sold for six thousand yuan.

Although six thousand yuan was a lot of money, Lin Yi didn't care much about it. After being surprised for a while, he remembered that Sun Datong was the great pharmacist of Tongrentang, which was very famous in later generations.

Especially the Angong Niuhuang Pills, which could be sold at a sky-high price in later generations, but it was a rare and hard-to-find good thing, and it was almost called an elixir.

"Master Sun, I heard that your pharmacy has some valuable medicines at the bottom of the box. I wonder if this big turtle can be exchanged for those precious medicines?"

Lin Yi looked at Sun Datong and said calmly.

Good medicine is naturally made from various precious medicinal materials. That thing itself is scarce and extremely precious. Normally, it is a good thing that you can't buy even if you want to. It's not something you can buy with money. If you don't have good connections, the pharmacy will not sell it to you.

Sun Datong was quite surprised. Seeing that everyone was very surprised at the huge price of 6,000 yuan he quoted, he thought that this matter was set in stone. He didn't expect that the owner didn't want cash, but had ideas about their Tongrentang's precious medicine.

"No problem, but I can only give you six Jinyi Angong Pills at most. As for the other Angong Pills, you can take any number. I see that this old lady has difficulty walking, so I think she has rheumatism. She can take Dahuoluo Pills, which I think will be effective."

"Master Sun, I would like to exchange for a hundred-year-old ginseng. Is that possible?" Lin Yi did not ask about the difference between the Jinyi Angong Pills and the other Angong Pills. He thought that the efficacy of this limited edition Jinyi Angong Pill should be stronger, and the medicinal materials used are also more precious.

However, Lin Yi still has some bargaining skills. Since Sun Datong is willing to take out the limited edition Golden Angong Pills, and said that this giant turtle is as good as a hundred-year-old ginseng, he wants to exchange it for a hundred-year-old ginseng.

Sun Datong glanced at the old lady and felt that Lin Yi might have asked for this ginseng just for this old lady.

Sun Datong also knew the deaf old lady. In the early years, the deaf old lady had a lot of dealings with their pharmacy. He knew a lot about the old lady's situation.

So, Sun Datong smiled and said: "It is inevitable that you have a filial heart. I agree to this matter. However, a whole branch of 100-year-old ginseng is too precious. You want both Jinyi Angong Pills and 100-year-old ginseng. This big turtle is not enough. But in the warehouse, there is still half a branch of 100-year-old old mountain ginseng, which can be used to exchange with you.

But you have to think carefully. Originally, for six Golden Angong Pills and twenty ordinary Angong Pills, I could give you another thousand dollars in cash. If you exchange it for the hundred-year-old ginseng, you will have no more cash. "

“Just exchange it for the hundred-year-old ginseng.” Lin Yi asked for the hundred-year-old ginseng without hesitation.
