90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

This Asteraceae plant has the effects of drying dampness and strengthening the spleen, dispelling wind and cold, and improving eyesight, but its effects vary from place to place.

There are usually two types of Atractylodes used for medicine. One type is produced in the Maoshan area in East China and northern Hubei, and is called "Mao Atractylodes". The other type is produced in North China, Mongolian areas, Northeast China and other places, and is called "Bei Atractylodes".

The former, namely Atractylodes lancea, has been regarded as a treasure since ancient times, and its price is naturally higher.

In fact, in the previous life, Yi Congxin and Atractylodes macrocephala also had a connection.

In her previous life, she studied hard, but her sitting posture was not good. Every time she did her homework, she would lower her head.

Her grandparents tried to correct her several times but to no avail. Seeing that she had to wear big glasses at such a young age, they often stewed soup with Atractylodes macrocephala and pig liver, and asked her to drink a large bowl of it to prevent her eyes from becoming blurred and her vision from worsening.

Yicongxin is the medicinal herb that we often see on our daily dining tables.

Thinking of her grandparents' loving eyes and soothing tone when they persuaded her to drink the soup, Yicong felt a little moist in her heart.

She will never forget the taste and medicinal properties of Atractylodes lancea.

It has a unique aroma and tastes slightly sweet, spicy and bitter.

It is warm in nature and enters the spleen, stomach and liver meridians.

And the Atractylodes in her hand...

In order to make her judgment clearer, she ordered Xin Yu behind her, "Help me break this piece."

She handed the Atractylodes lancea in her hand to Xin Yu.

She didn't have a knife, so she couldn't cut it open to see the inner core from the side. Xin Yu had strong hands, and it was this kid who provoked her to "get on the stage", so she had to make the brat use some strength.

Xin Yu obediently took the Atractylodes lancea and broke it at the joint, and the Atractylodes lancea immediately split into two pieces.

Yi Congxin saw that he broke it easily and the cross section was not very neat, which made him feel more confident.

She looked carefully and found that the cross section was not the brown-red color unique to Atractylodes lancea, but yellow-brown, with "cinnabar spots" but not densely distributed.

Yi Congxin deliberately waited for a while, and found that the white needle-like crystals unique to Atractylodes lancea did not appear on this piece of Atractylodes lancea, a phenomenon commonly known as "frosting".

Although it is also possible that the waiting time is not long enough, the "frost" will only appear after being exposed for a longer time.

Anyway... she had made her judgment.

Yi Congxin casually rummaged through the woven bag again. The Atractylodes lancea inside was almost the same as the one in her hand, so there should be no mistakes.

This wave is stable.

She raised her little head and nodded at Zheng Donggen.

He took his own piece of paper, walked to the table on the side, and added a word on the paper.

On the other side, Wang Quan was also looking at the Atractylodes lancea in the woven bag, hesitating.

He recognized that most of the herbs in this bag were Atractylodes macrocephala. When Yi Congxin was identifying the herbs just now, he also saw the cross-section of the piece in her hand, which made him more certain of his judgment.

only……

He had just grabbed a handful in a hurry, and there was a small broken piece among them, which happened to be Atractylodes macrocephala.

Mix a few small pieces of Atractylodes macrocephala into a bag of Atractylodes macrocephala...

What is this for?

Come to think of it, it's definitely not as simple as an accident.

Wang Quan held his breath and did not write the answer immediately.

Now the question is not whether this medicinal herb is Atractylodes macrocephala or Atractylodes lancea, but... Zheng Ji, the question is whether the Atractylodes macrocephala in this bag has the surname "Mao" or "Bei".

He has been immersed in the medicinal materials industry for decades and naturally knows too many "unwritten rules". In recent years, these "unwritten rules" have become more and more serious.

He has seen most of Zheng Ji’s medicinal herbs, and he is afraid that Zheng Ji is also a beneficiary of these “unspoken rules”.

Nowadays, people are obsessed with making quick money and big money. How can they have the patience to dig out good medicinal materials?

It’s more comfortable to sit on the kang and count money.

Your family is still sticking to the old way of "no one sees your efforts, but God knows your sincerity", while others have already made a fortune by relying on "unspoken rules"?

Not tempted?

too difficult.

Although they say they are not interested, they secretly do some tricks to "pass off inferior goods as good ones".

People who don’t understand medicinal herbs can’t see it, doesn’t that mean he doesn’t understand?

Take what he saw, for example: Zheng Ji's madder was mixed with some large-leaf madder, and the Poria cocos contained its "twin brother" Poria...

Zhengji is pretty good!

Others are not as good as Zheng’s.

There are countless people with no bottom line!

Regardless of what other families are doing, let's just talk about this bag of Atractylodes lancea at the moment. Although its medicinal effect is not as good, the purchase price is cheap. If it is sold as Atractylodes lancea, the profit per kilogram can be at least 2 yuan more!

Although Zheng Mingcai said that he wanted him to make a few more good medicines, that was for the "exchange meeting", in order to make a name for himself and raise his value.

In daily operations, Zheng Ji must still focus on making money.

Therefore, I guess Zheng Ji didn’t want this bag of Atractylodes to be named “Bei”.

Wang Quan weighed it over and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was correct. He nodded to Zheng Donggen and took his paper and pen.

Wang Quan also added a new word on his piece of paper, and then handed the paper to Zheng and his son.

He was only a few seconds later than Yi Congxin.

Zheng and his son were reading Yi Congxin's paper. Just as they were about to nod, they suddenly saw the words written on Wang Quan's paper...

Atractylodes macrocephala?

As soon as Zheng Donggen showed a surprised expression, Zheng Mingcai bumped his shoulder lightly as if by accident.

Zheng Donggen and Zheng Mingcai can also be considered half-experts.

There is a saying in the medicine industry, which can be called "pharmacy jargon", which says "those who sell medicine have two eyes, those who use medicine have one eye, and those who take medicine have no eyes."

Its meaning is also very simple:

Those who sell medicine are drug dealers.

Two eyes, that is, one eye of a drug dealer knows the real medicine and good goods, and the other eye can identify the fake medicine and inferior goods. It is not acceptable to lack one of the two eyes, otherwise he will definitely lose money!

The person who takes the medicine is referring to the doctor.

Most doctors only focus on curing diseases, but do not delve into the authenticity and quality of medicines. It is not because they are unwilling to do so, but because of their limited energy. That is why it is said that those who use medicines have only one eye.

The person who takes the medicine is the patient.

The patient lacks medical knowledge, and neither understands medicine nor knows what medicine is. Isn’t this just “blindness”?

Although Zheng and his son were not masters, they could still distinguish between Mao Cangshu and Northern Cangshu.

Zheng Donggen even knows Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang's family was not wealthy. After he learned to sell medicinal herbs with others, the herbs he could get were not expensive, mostly cheap ones.

However, because Lao Zhang is an honest person and he quotes the correct price for the goods he sells and never pretends to be anything fake, Zheng Donggen has maintained a supply and payment relationship with Lao Zhang since he took over the shop and has never stopped cooperating with him.

But just now...

Zheng Dong wanted to open his mouth, but he shut it abruptly.

What does it mean when dad bumps into him?

Could it be that Dad wants to accept Wang Quan’s answer?

He thought about it for a moment and then understood.

There are many people watching today, many of whom are here to get medicine. Zheng Ji is under the banner of "exclusive sale of high-end medicinal materials". If they admit on the spot that this is cheap Atractylodes lancea, wouldn't that be a slap in their own face?

Today's incident has caused such a big commotion. If people continue to spread gossip, Zheng Ji will no longer be able to stay on this street.

But, no matter what, you can't lie with your eyes open in front of so many people!
