My Fresh Food Supermarket Tong Daming

Chapter 64 New Business
When the bright incandescent lamp hit the water surface of the creek behind the village, the originally quiet creek was not long before dark shadows squirmed wildly in the water.

It's a leech!
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xia Zhong used the clip Zhou Ze handed him to swipe deep into the water to accurately clip a chubby leech on the body and bring it out of the water.

The leech seemed to be frightened, and began to wriggle all over the body, appearing full of vitality.

Zhou Ze frowned and moved closer, and found that the leech was long and narrow, slightly cylindrical, with a slightly flattened back and abdomen, a blunt front end, and a thick rear end. The back was dark green with yellow vertical stripes.

This seems to be a Japanese medical leech?

Zhou Ze, who couldn't distinguish the species, took out his mobile phone and compared it with the preserved leech species.

It was finally confirmed that the one in my hand was indeed a Japanese medical leech.

According to the introduction, although this guy is named after the country that lived a good life, it is actually widely distributed, from the Far East to the south. It usually inhabits paddy fields and the ditches connected to them, Pond and marsh creek.

And this guy is very ferocious. Japanese medical leeches mainly suck the blood of humans and animals. In nature, fish and other animal blood are the main blood.

Japanese medical leeches are small, so a slight smell of blood can drive them crazy.

Seeing this, Zhou Ze put it into a transparent plastic box.

Looking up at the water again, he found that there were several different leeches inside. Zhou Ze could not help but order Xia Zhong to pinch them out one by one.

Seeing that there were already several leech samples of different shapes in the transparent box, Zhou Ze told the young and strong to stop for the time being, mainly because he was worried that if no one took it after spending a long time, wouldn't their work be in vain?
So he planned to take these samples and go back and ask around. If someone charged even a few dozen yuan a catty, then he was going to make it bigger and stronger.

Zhou Ze asked a dozen young men to return home to rest temporarily, while he quickly returned to modern times.

"Who should this leech ask for hello?" Zhou Ze rubbed his chin thinking.

Yes, this thing has a single effect and can only be used as medicine. He immediately thought of the most famous Chinese medicine clinic in Jiangcheng.

Doctor Feng should know the price of leeches, right?
The owner of that TCM clinic is a serious old TCM doctor. He is quite different from other Chinese medicine practitioners whose half-bottles of water are swaying. He has been studying medicine with his grandfather since he was six years old and has been studying medicine for more than sixty years. In [-], it is said that his family is a traditional Chinese medicine family, and the family tree goes back more than ten generations and even worked as an imperial doctor!
Since Dr. Feng retired from the director position of a large hospital, he refused the re-employment of the hospital and chose to open a Chinese medicine clinic by himself. In recent years, his reputation has been very good, and the number of people who go to see the doctor is increasing day by day.

Even Zhou Ze went to his house to see minor ailments before. It can be said that the medicine can cure the disease, and the medical skills are very superb.

Zhou Ze himself still has a lot of trust in Chinese medicine, after all, it has been passed down for thousands of years and has been passed down for thousands of years, which naturally has its reasons.

But today’s TCM community is suffering from internal and external troubles. Some foreign media belittle TCM to nothing. Foreign countries even think that TCM is unscientific as a witch doctor. When this statement spread to China, countless people started advocating that TCM is inferior to Western medicine.

Even until now, there are people without brain stems trying their best to discredit Chinese medicine on the Internet, but the Chinese medicine community is powerless to change this situation.

What some people say is indeed true. Western medicine can be cultivated in large quantities, but Chinese medicine cannot. A qualified Chinese medicine requires years of experience to cultivate. Not only does it require a lot of energy during the period, but also the practitioner must have a good understanding. This also makes it impossible for an old Chinese doctor with superb medical skills to train multiple Chinese medicine practitioners at the same time.

In a word, western medicine takes quantity, while Chinese medicine takes quality.

Back then, people still generally believed in Chinese medicine, but there were very few real Chinese medicine practitioners at that time. This also led to many so-called masters of Chinese medicine defrauding and accumulating money. Lost confidence in Chinese medicine.

Moreover, due to the tradition of traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times—passing males but not females, plus the fact that every hundred years in China, there will be endless wars. Long lost.

Today, there are less than one out of ten medical skills left in the world, and the decline of Chinese medicine is also common sense.

In the eyes of a layman like Zhou Ze, the most famous medicine in modern times is Yunnan Baiyao.

Having said that, Zhou Ze drove straight to Feng's Traditional Chinese Medicine Center with a box of leeches.

At this time, there are not many people seeing a doctor in the TCM clinic, and most of them are elderly people. TCM cures the root cause, and it takes more time to see a doctor. Nowadays, young people are more impatient, so few young people choose TCM.

Also, take toothache as an example, one injection of metronidazole can relieve the pain for half an hour, and the other is acupuncture plus medication for 2 or 3 days. I believe most people will make a choice.

"Hi sir, are you feeling unwell?" Seeing Zhou Ze coming in, the front desk greeted him warmly.

Seeing Dr. Feng sitting inside and prescribing medicine for a patient through the transparent window, Zhou Ze hesitated and said:
"Hello, I want to ask, do we collect live leeches here?"

The receptionist at the front desk is very professional. After learning about Zhou Ze's intentions, he didn't feel any strange. He still replied with a smile on his face:
"Sorry sir, our store has a special partner, please understand and bear with us."

It turned out that the front desk mistook him for a medicine agent.

Hearing this, although Zhou Ze was a little disappointed, he still asked, "Then can you tell me the price of the leeches in our store?"

"This is no problem. The price of dried leeches in our store is about 500-1000 yuan, depending on the species and medicinal value of the leeches."

The receptionist was not busy at this time, so he took Zhou Ze to the rows of medicine cabinets and introduced Zhou Ze.

In her opinion, Zhou Ze is so young, it should be because he just entered this industry not long ago, so he wanted to help him a little bit.

"Sister, can you help me find out the quality of these leeches?" Zhou Ze took out the box of leeches and put them on the counter, hoping that the receptionist could give him some guidance.

Seeing the vibrant leeches in the box, the receptionist couldn't help saying:

"I'm only in charge of reception, I don't really understand."

At this time, Dr. Feng in the room brought the patients to grab the medicine. He saw the leeches on the counter at a glance, and hurried over.

"How can there be leeches maintaining such vitality in this season?" You must know that it is the cold winter, and even the leeches raised indoors have lost their vitality, but the few leeches in front of us are as vigorous as autumn.

Dr. Feng saw the wriggling leeches in the box and couldn't help but put on his reading glasses and start looking carefully.

"These are all wild leeches?" Dr. Feng couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the appearance of the leeches.

You must know that there are no wild leeches in the waters around Jiangcheng, and even the dried leeches in his shop are artificially raised.

Years of medical practice let him know that the medicinal value of wild animals far exceeds that of artificially raised ones.

"Young man, where did you catch it? You are not small."

The old Chinese doctor couldn't help becoming interested, and looked at Zhou Ze who was standing aside.

Zhou Ze had a joke in his heart, and he only said that he was caught in a village in the deep mountains. There is a hot spring near the village, so the leech can maintain such vitality. At the end, he didn't forget to ask the old Chinese doctor if he could take it.

"Take it, of course I take it. It's rare to see such a fat wild leech in recent years." The old Chinese doctor was very happy at this time.

"Well, this is a medical leech, and this is a broad-bodied golden thread leech. Others can't be used as medicine and are useless." The old Chinese doctor quickly picked out the useful leeches.

"Young man, here are three leeches that are of higher value and not many in number. I'll buy one at a premium of 50 yuan. What do you think?"

Three leeches can be sold for 150 yuan?Catch up with the price of half a reed chicken?
Zhou Ze received a transfer of 150 yuan, and then suppressed his excitement and asked: "Then if I have a large quantity, how much will you charge per catty, Dr. Feng?"

Hearing Zhou Ze's words, Dr. Feng couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. He was still too young. Such a fat wild leech would not be able to reach such a figure after a few years of growth. It was not easy, but he did not discourage Zhou Ze's enthusiasm, and said patiently: "If there are wild leeches of the same size as these three, I will take as much as the original price of 200 catties for this quality!"

This kind of wild leech was not easy to touch, and it would be easy for Top Breaker to accept the stock in his hand.

Hearing this, Zhou Ze was excited all over.

"It's a deal! Doctor Feng, the goods may be a little too much. I will send someone to send them over tomorrow!"

? ?
What does this guy mean?
It sounds like there are many more?
