"This is the fibrous root of Ophiopogon japonicus, which is the rhizome of Ophiopogon japonicus that is not used as medicine..." Gu Shiba Niang said slowly.
Dr. Zhu was stunned. He lowered his head again to look at the so-called Ophiopogon japonicus fibrous roots in his hand, "fibrous roots?"
"Yes, the roots of Ophiopogon japonicus are relatively strong. The top or middle parts of the roots that are used for medicine swell into small spindle-shaped fleshy pieces," Gu Shiba Niang said while gesturing, "And this one is the other useless ones that have been removed. Fibrous roots, there are Ophiopogon japonicus growing on the roadside now, sir, you can ask someone to pull it out and have a look. After soaking and cleaning, it will look like this. Although it doesn't look like it, it is still Ophiopogon japonicus after all..."
As he spoke, he looked at the young man and said with a smile, "So just because it cannot be used in Ophiopogon japonicus, we can't call it Polygala..."
These words made people outside laugh.
The young man was a little panicked now, "You, you, this is a lie, you just bought it as a polygala..."
"Brother," Gu Shiba Niang smiled, looked at the young man, and said helplessly, "Why should I do this? It's not like I can't buy Polygala... Besides..." She looked more serious, " How could I do that?"
Everyone in the hall immediately turned their attention to the young man, and the woman who had been crying quietly stopped crying and stared at everyone blankly.
"Because...because...because it's cheap!" The young man panicked and shouted randomly.
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion, and Gu Shiba Niang couldn't help but shake her head, why did Shopkeeper Zhou send such an idiot here
At this time, a person in the crowd squeezed out and ran along the street. After passing a street, he saw three people rushing past him, and they accidentally bumped into him.
"Blinded your eyes..." The man jumped up from the ground and cursed.
Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by someone, "Who are you scolding! You have damaged me, and I haven't settled the accounts with you yet..."
When people on the street saw it, they avoided it one after another, and some good people came around to watch the excitement that was destined not to end soon.
In Peng Yizhen Pharmacy, the cold-faced official looked at the young man and already understood half of it in his heart. He was clearly a gangster who came to blackmail him.
He waved his hand, and four or five officials surrounded the three young men.
"But, Miss Gu, what do you want with these Ophiopogon japonicus fibrous roots?" Dr. Zhu suddenly asked, looking at her meaningfully, "I have to say, this is really similar to what Yuanzhi did... "
"I don't think it would be a pity to abandon the fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus, so I just wanted to try to see if it could be used as medicine..." Gu Shiba Niang said.
Dr. Zhu laughed and said, "Young lady, you are joking."
Since Ophiopogon japonicus was recorded as a medicinal material, the roots have been discarded and used. This little lady is really whimsical...
"Maybe one day it can be used as medicine, such as grinding it into powder..." Gu Shiba Niang said seriously.
Dr. Zhu smiled and shook his head, obviously taking this as a joke and throwing it away without further reasoning.
"Little lady, these fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus are fibrous roots and must not be equated with Ophiopogon japonicus." He said meaningfully, while looking at Peng Yizhen.
What he means is that you should not sell the fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus as Ophiopogon japonicus.
But his worries were completely unnecessary. Gu Shiba Niang smiled, shook the fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus in her hand, and pointed at the Ophiopogon japonicus in Dr. Zhu's hand, "Although they are born from the same mother, they look real." It’s a huge difference…”
This means that she wants to pretend, but unfortunately the world is not blind.
Dr. Zhu couldn't help but smile when he saw the little girl making wisecracks. He looked at her a few more times, then turned around and said a few words to the cold-faced official.
An official once again took out a packet of medicine that had been spread out on the counter and showed it to Dr. Zhu. Dr. Zhu looked at it and nodded.
"It is indeed Polygala, not the fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus..." he said.
At this time, the young man's legs were trembling, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. He looked sad and said repeatedly: "Uncle...I don't understand this either...Maybe I made a mistake..."
At this time, the officer already had an idea in his mind. He snorted coldly and waved his hand. Two officers stepped forward and picked up the young man.
"Come with us. If you have any questions, let's talk to the Yamen."
The young man cried for his father and mother, and the woman on the ground stopped crying for her mother. She turned around and beat the young man on the body, cursing him with a thousand knives.
"That's it, I'm sorry to bother you," the official said to Peng Yizhen.
Peng Yizhen hurriedly returned the gift and said he didn't dare, and sent the official and his entourage out personally.
"However, I have to take these Ophiopogon japonicus fibrous roots away and do some identification..." Dr. Zhu said.
It seems that he is still very curious about the fibrous roots of Ophiopogon japonicus.
"Sir, please feel free to do it." Peng Yizhen said hurriedly, and immediately ordered the boy to quickly install it for Dr. Zhu.
Dr. Zhu nodded and followed the official out.
"You're blind and blackmailing me, Peng Yizhen!" Peng Yizhen stood at the door and said loudly.
The onlookers pointed at the young man who was taken away by the officials, and then looked at the woman sitting in the medicine shop who also ran away in dejection with her head lowered.
"Hey, your mother is still lying down..." Someone whistled and laughed out of curiosity.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the old woman lying on the door panel getting up, getting out of the crowd and running away. There was a burst of laughter from all around, and even Peng Yizhen laughed angrily.
"It's gone, it's gone." He waved his hand.
The onlookers dispersed in a hurry. This kind of blackmailing of medical clinics and drugstores is not uncommon, but this time the blackmailer was too arrogant and dared to call in official officials. This is not asking for death.
"I wonder what the government's final decision will be?" Peng Yizhen looked excited, "Can you find out..."
Halfway through his words, when he saw Gu Shiba winking at him, he remembered that Mrs. Cao was also standing in the hall and hurriedly stopped.
Gu Shiba Niang shook her head at him. The final conclusion of this matter could only be blackmail. Shopkeeper Zhou definitely did not come forward to clean herself up in this matter.
But it doesn't matter.
"Blackmailers no longer blackmail doctors, but actually know how to use medicinal materials. Mr. Peng, those of you who run medicine shops should be careful..." Gu Shiba Niang reminded with a smile.
Peng Yizhen nodded at her, looked at her as if everything had been arranged, and said, "Thank you, little lady, for reminding me."
"Although someone is blackmailing you this time, in today's world, there are naturally fake medicines. Shopkeeper Peng, you must be more careful when buying medicines in the future." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
Peng Yizhen knew that she had something to say, so he listened carefully and followed her words: "No, there are always some people who want to make money without conscience..."
Gu Shiba Niang nodded, "However, what is fake is still fake. A knowledgeable person can easily tell that by tasting it or soaking it in water..."
Speaking of the last sentence, she looked at Peng Yizhen and emphasized her tone.
Soak in water... Peng Yizhen thought to himself for a moment, his face suddenly dawned, he couldn't hide his smile, he nodded repeatedly, and said yes.
Seeing that he understood, Gu Shiba Niang said no more and wanted to leave.
Peng Yizhen apologized to Cao again, saying he was sorry for frightening them, and he took out the money as he spoke.
Mrs. Cao resolutely refused to accept it, "If something happens to the medicine we sell, we will naturally come to testify."
Seeing her insistence, Peng didn't force her even a single step. He thanked her again and asked the boy to prepare a car to take them off. Ms. Cao declined and pulled Gu Shiba Niang away with ease.
"I didn't expect that selling medicinal materials is risky..." Ms. Cao smiled, stroking her daughter's head, "Eighteen Niang, are you scared?"
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"
Those who should be afraid are those who have done bad things, she smiled broadly.
When Shopkeeper Zhou got the news, it was already evening. He looked shocked and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"No! No!" He reacted.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhou Liniang asked hurriedly.
"I've been fooled! I've been fooled!" Shopkeeper Zhou murmured, his mind was in chaos, and the scenes from that day of the medicine meeting were replaying in front of his eyes.
"They were deceived!" Shopkeeper Zhou sat down on the chair with a thud, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Dad." Zhou Liniang was shocked and hurriedly supported his arm, "What's wrong with you? Who was deceived?"
Shopkeeper Zhou ignored her words and stood up from the chair suddenly, "Quick, quick, call someone, go and throw away all the Qinpi I bought that day..."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Zhou Liniang said in surprise, "What kind of leather did you buy that day?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard chaotic footsteps outside the door and a knock on the door.
