90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

Although my father handed the shop over to him, he could probably see that the old man was still worried about him and always wanted to "help him get on the horse and send him on his way."

Especially in preparation for this "exchange meeting", my father personally showed up and took charge of Zheng Ji.

Zheng Donggen has been "in charge" for the past two years, and the old man suddenly emerged again...

Although he was grateful for the old man's efforts, he also understood that this meant he did not trust him.

He was secretly holding back a strong desire in his heart, wanting to prove it to the old man.

At this moment, he naturally hoped in his heart: Even if Yi Congxin could not defeat that person, he must not lose too badly, otherwise he would not be able to speak confidently in front of the old man.

Thinking of this, Zheng Donggen smiled and said, "Okay! Lao Zhang, don't say anything and don't move to the backyard. Let's let those two taste the herbs you sent."

Zheng Donggen acted on his own initiative and took the blame for Wang Quan.

Lao Zhang was surprised, but he didn't say anything.

Mainly, I don’t know what to say.

He had never seen such a scene!

"Okay, Boss Zheng, I'll do whatever you say." Old Zhang didn't know what to do.

Once you join Zhengji, who else should you listen to if not Boss Zheng?

He hurriedly pushed the woven bag in his hand towards Zheng Donggen, "Taste it, taste it carefully."

Lao Zhang quickly hid aside.

Zheng Donggen was speechless.

He smiled and shook his head, then turned to look at Yi Congxin and Wang Yu, pointed at the woven bag and said, "I don't know what's in here either, so please come and take a look."

Wang Yu glanced at Yi Congxin, snorted, and walked forward.

Under normal circumstances, why would he bother with a few little brats? It was truly shameful!

But now, if I don’t show some of my best skills, people will look down on me, which will be even more shameful!

This is still a small matter. What if Zheng Mingcai and his son have other ideas...

Then there is his salary and his reputation!

Wouldn't it all be wasted?!

But Wang Quan thought again, although the prepared Smilax glabra was indeed good, it must have been the great effort of that "grandfather", and the little girl in front of him was just saying those angry words as a child.

Seeing how young she is, she is nothing to be afraid of.

Since there is a ready-made bargain to be picked up, why not take advantage of it?

Let the Zheng family father and son and everyone else see Wang Quan’s abilities on the spot!

Yi Congxin looked calm, turned around and smiled at Xin Yu and Hu Cuicui, then walked forward.

Zheng Donggen said to Wang Yu and Yi Congxin, "Take a look at what's in this woven bag first."

Although Zheng Donggen said this, he didn't even untie the rope that tied the woven bag.

Anyone who knows about medicinal materials knows that the first step in making medicine is not those difficult processing techniques, but identifying the medicinal materials.

How can you make medicine if you don’t even know the medicinal materials?

In the era without sophisticated analysis and testing instruments, pharmacists mainly used four methods to identify medicinal materials: observation, tasting, touching, and smelling.

Zheng Donggen did not allow the two to look at the medicinal materials themselves, but only asked them to identify them through the woven bags, in order to test their basic skills.

A true expert can inspect medicinal materials without opening the packages during the day or lighting a lamp at night; he can accurately identify them by smell and touch.

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized Zheng Donggen's intention.

He couldn't help but glare at Zheng Donggen.

Your father respects me, how dare you treat me like this?

Shameless boy!

Wang Quan felt a tightness in his chest.

He was just busy glaring at Zheng Donggen, while Yi Congxin had already put down the backpack, put his hand on the woven bag, and began to feel it carefully.

When she was young, memorizing the names of medicines, identifying medicinal materials, and recognizing their properties were the basic skills her grandparents taught her. She also practiced "looking, smelling, touching, and tasting" repeatedly.

Identifying medicinal herbs was her way of remembering her grandparents in her previous life.

Never fall behind and never dare to slack off.

She touched it carefully, twisted the herbs inside through the woven bag, then bent down, got close to the woven bag and sniffed it hard.

Her serious look made everyone around her afraid to breathe, for fear of disturbing her.

Seeing that he was already behind, Wang Quan no longer cared about Zheng Donggen and went to the sack to feel around.

A minute later, Zheng Donggen saw that both of them straightened up, with a look of "I know" written on their faces.

He asked the shop assistant to fetch two sets of paper and pens for writing prescriptions, and pointed in two directions with his left and right hands. "Please don't say anything for now, just write down the names of the herbs."

In just a moment, Wang Quan and Yi Congxin handed the papers they had written to Zheng Donggen.

No matter how experienced Zheng Mingcai was, he couldn't help but walk to his son and look over.

Everyone also stretched their necks.

The onlookers could not see what was on the paper, they could only see the back of the paper.

The not-too-bright light shone through the paper, and everyone saw...

It seems like they are all two words?

After reading the two pieces of paper, Zheng Mingcai and his son looked at each other.

Zheng Mingcai nodded.

Zheng Donggen then untied the woven bag, revealing the medicinal herbs inside.

Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, he explained loudly, "Both Mr. Wang and Sister Congxin are experts. This is indeed Atractylodes lancea."

After saying that, he gave Yi Congxin a look that said "well done".

Zheng Donggen was not surprised that Wang Quan could tell that it was Atractylodes lancea. What he didn't expect was that Yi Congxin had this ability at such a young age!

Yi Congxin said that the prepared Clematis chinensis delivered yesterday was made by "her and Grandpa" together. He thought that most of it was the credit of that "Grandpa".

But now she is alone, with no one to help her!

For a while, Zheng Donggen even changed the way he addressed Yi Congxin from "girl" to the more intimate "Congxin little sister".

Xin Yu glanced at Zheng Donggen and turned his head away.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Suddenly, the room became lively.

Zheng Mingcai looked calm, but secretly surprised in his heart.

The girl looks like she is only 20 years old, but she can tie with a senior pharmacist in "identifying medicinal materials". This is definitely a skill she has learned since she was a child!

She is already quite good, so isn't it true that the grandpa behind her is, as she said, "unlike anyone else in the entire Nanming Province"?

The most expert among experts?!

So why didn't he invite them over earlier?!

He looked at Yi Congxin eagerly.

Yi Congxin smiled faintly at him and said nothing.

Wang Quan's face looked a little ugly. Although it was a draw, he was already old, and the other party was just a little girl?

So ugly!

Zheng Donggen was a shrewd man. He knew that the old master was not convinced just by looking at him.

He chuckled inwardly and said, "There are different varieties of Atractylodes lancea. Please tell me where this bag of Atractylodes lancea comes from!"

Yi Congxin had no expression and did not reject Zheng Donggen's suggestion. She picked up a piece of Atractylodes lancea.

Wang Quan was not willing to be left behind, so he grabbed a handful and brought them in front of him.

As Zheng Donggen said, "There are also different varieties of Atractylodes lancea."
