Live Appreciation, Congratulations to Brother

Chapter 244 I declare that you are the best auctioneer

"Welcome the last treasure friend today..."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Zhang Yang looked at the brown, shell-shaped thing in Baoyou's hand and narrowed his eyes.

The appearance of this "shell" has vertical stripes, but there is no curvature overall.

It looks weird.

"Teacher, this is a dragon scale. Have you never seen it?" Baoyou asked Zhang Yang.

"what???"

"Brother, when did you go crazy?"

Zhang Yang laughed out loud, held the back of his head with his hands, and lay down on the gaming chair easily.

He felt that this treasure friend was here to make things better.

"I'm not crazy, don't you think I'm crazy?"

"You look a bit like fish scales. Turn it over and let me see."

"Name: Pangolin Scales"

"Material: β-keratin"

"Production time: 2020"

"Detailed information: The scales of the pangolin, a national first-level protected animal, were once used as traditional Chinese medicinal materials, but are now banned from trading."

It turned out to be banned animal products.

But this was the first time I saw pangolin scales.

"Is this the only one you have?" Zhang Yang asked, "Is this thing sold by the film?"

"Teacher, can you tell what this is?"

"Who doesn't know the scales of pangolins? Did you buy them as traditional Chinese medicine, or did you get them in the mountains yourself?"

"Of course I bought it from Chinese medicine."

As Baoyou said, he took out a sealed bag with half a bag of scales in it.

On the outside of the sealed bag, there is a white label with the name of a certain major pharmacy written on it.

"Bought so much?"

[I declare that this pharmacy can be closed]

[This thing can be used as a turtle collection, male compatriots can learn about it]

[Trivia: Domestic Chinese patent medicines consume the scales of 10 pangolins a year]

[The domestic pangolins have long been eaten up, and now they are all imported from abroad]

[Foreign ones are also eaten and endangered]

"Does this thing have any medicinal value?" Zhang Yang asked humbly.

"Clear heat and detoxify, activate blood circulation and eliminate diseases..."

Baoyou introduced a lot of functions and taught Zhang Yang how to use them:
"If you have a cold or stroke, just use this to scratch your forehead..."

"Ah?" A big question mark appeared on Zhang Yang's head: "Is the usage you are talking about called scraping?"

"It's almost the same, but this can also be taken internally. Grind it into powder and eat it to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis..."

The more Baoyou learned about science, the more Zhang Yang felt it was unreliable.

The scales are made of beta-keratin, the same as nails.

Is it useful to eat this?
Zhang Yang remembered that when he was in school, he had a classmate who loved to chew his nails.

Unless there are trace amounts of other ingredients in the pangolin scales, it definitely doesn’t have the effects Baoyou said.

However, Zhang Yang did not intend to discuss this matter with the other party.

Let’s first confirm the source of these scales.

He sat up and found a good excuse to look at the label on the bag:

"Eh? You put the bag facing the camera, and I'll take a look. There seems to be something wrong with the things inside."

"is it?"

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Baoyou almost put the lens on the sealed bag.

Laobai Pharmacy?
Okay, take a screenshot as a souvenir.

"Okay, okay, no problem, I made a mistake."

"Is the big pharmacy up here still open?" Zhang Yang asked.

"It's open. This is what I bought last month. I paid several thousand yuan to become a member to get a qualification."

From what Baoyou said, this thing is still in limited supply.

The so-called membership replenishment is equivalent to charging a threshold fee in disguise. "Listen to my advice. You can go directly to your membership card later and spend all the remaining money."

"Why?"

"Because pangolin is now a national first-level protected animal, its scales were removed from the pharmacopoeia 20 years ago." Zhang Yangke said.

"It is estimated that within two days, this large pharmacy will be closed for rectification."

If you can buy a bag, you may not know how many there are at the store!
Zhang Yang felt that it was impossible for the Internet police to miss the information on the label just now.

"I remember that pangolin scales can be bought and sold?" Baoyou asked doubtfully.

"It's been banned in recent years, you know it now."

Many ordinary people cannot react to these changes in recent years.

After all, pangolins have been used as medicine since the Southern Dynasties (5th century AD).

But the pharmacy must know.

Their supply channels will certainly be affected by laws and regulations.

"Teacher, do you want to report it? No...it's not necessary." Baoyou said hesitantly.

"how is this possible?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and told Baoyou with a smile:

"From the moment you take out this scale, the outcome of this pharmacy is no longer under your control."

"You are the sixth child, not me."

[The live broadcast room is full of old people, and the anchor can’t even report it]

[Brother, you are the one who handed the knife]

[Indeed, don’t shed crocodile tears here]

"In that case." Baoyou sighed: "No matter, teacher, please help me take a look at this again."

Judging from what he said, he also bought something very sexy from this drugstore.

"You want to speed up? Sure."

Zhang Yang nodded and looked at the small clay pot in Baoyou's hand.

The jar was filled with yellow-brown powder, which was broken into pieces like milk powder.

"What did you buy this for?"

"Bought as rhino horn powder, it is said to be able to clear away heat and detoxify."

Is it clearing away heat and detoxifying again?

It seems that these animal products such as horns and shells have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

When Zhang Yang watched the barrage, the audience had similar reactions to his own, they were all complaining.

Back to the topic, he told Baoyou:
"Rhinoceros horn powder should be off-white, but your color is wrong."

"The pharmacy said this is an old rhinoceros horn..." Baoyou explained.

According to him, new rhino horns cannot be traded now, so pharmacies can only collect old antique rhino horns for use in medicine.

For example, what this small jar contains is a rhino horn statue from the late Qing Dynasty, ground into powder.

Although the original statue was not in good condition, it was sold for 300 yuan per gram.

Because it is an antique, it is normal for the color to be a little yellowish.

After Zhang Yang heard this, he raised his hands toward the camera and said:
"Thank you, you taught me a very new way to cut leeks."

"What this jar contains is powder ground from buffalo horns."

[Hahahaha, no wonder it’s so yellow]

[Now Baoyou will report the pharmacy himself]

[Using antique rhino horns ground into powder sounds outrageous]

"Teacher, are you sure? I drank a little of this and it felt really refreshing."

Baoyou was a little unconvinced and even shared his own medication experience.

"Drink it directly? Are you imitating Shennong?"

"If you don't believe it, you can send it to an institution for testing, but try not to test the poison yourself."

"Is that so..."

Baoyou quickly closed the jar and then said to Zhang Yang:

"Thank you, teacher. I'll return it first. This jar costs 2 yuan!"

"This pharmacy is good and doesn't rip off the poor."

(I’m working hard on coding, and I’ll make it up today on the 2nd.)
