Chapter 141 Buying a Jade Box

"You didn't come here just to see me, old man, did you?" Old Doctor Zhou looked at Liu Xiaodong with a smile.

Liu Xiaodong didn't want to hide it from old doctor Zhou. Old doctor Zhou has been a doctor all his life. Liu Xiaodong believes that he will have even this basic professional ethics.

"Old man, to be honest, Xiang Qin accidentally dug up a Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain yesterday. We are here today to see if there is a white jade box for sale in the town. I saw it in a book before, saying that white jade boxes are used to preserve Ganoderma lucidum. It is the least likely to lose the medicinal properties of Ganoderma lucidum."

Mr. Zhou was also surprised that such a good thing happened to Xiang Qin by accident, "Oh? What kind of Ganoderma lucidum? Can you let me see it too?"

Ganoderma lucidum is also divided into different groups. Different varieties grow in different years, so its value and medicinal properties are naturally different, and you must be careful when picking Ganoderma lucidum, and don’t let the Ganoderma lucidum be incomplete, otherwise its medicinal properties will slowly dissipate. So old doctor Zhou wanted to see what the Ganoderma lucidum harvested by Xiang Qin looked like.

"We didn't bring it out this time. After all, there are so many people out there, I'm worried that someone who cares will notice it." Liu Xiaodong said.

Old Doctor Zhou stroked his beard habitually, "What you said makes sense."

Liu Xiaodong added, "I've read a few medical books before, and if it's correct, it should be the red ganoderma."

"Red Ganoderma lucidum isn't considered the best variety, but if it's aged a long time, it can be considered top-grade."

Liu Xiaodong didn't quite understand the issue of age, "I can't tell how many years it has been, and there is no record in the medical books I read."

"Then do you remember the characteristics?"

Liu Xiaodong thought for a while, "It's about as big as two of my palms, and the crown is a little purple." Liu Xiaodong even gestured to Old Doctor Zhou.

"A little purple? Could it be the purple ganoderma?" After all, old doctor Zhou has never seen the ganoderma that Liu Xiaodong mentioned, so it is not easy to make a conclusion, but according to what she said, it is very similar to the purple ganoderma.

Liu Xiaodong said, "But it is still red as a whole, how could it be purple Ganoderma lucidum?"

"You don't know that, the purple ganoderma is red before it grows."

"Then is the medicinal property of purple ganoderma or red ganoderma better?" Liu Xiaodong asked.

The old doctor Zhou asked Xiaozhuang to bring over the medical books, "Of course the purple ganoderma is better, and the purple ganoderma is the top grade among all the ganoderma. Haven't seen it."

Xiaozhuang handed the medical book to the old doctor Zhou, and the old doctor turned the book to the page dedicated to explaining Ganoderma lucidum, and pointed it to Liu Xiaodong, "Look, that's what it says in the book. The Ganoderma lucidum that arrived should undoubtedly be Purple Ganoderma."

Liu Xiaodong took the medical book and looked at it carefully, "If it is really a purple ganoderma, the ganoderma has been picked before it grows, what should I do?" Liu Xiaodong glanced at Xiang Qin, if it really looks like Mr. Zhou Isn't it a pity that the doctor said so?

"There shouldn't be any serious problems. At most, the medicinal property will not be as good as the mature purple ganoderma. It's rare now."

Liu Xiaodong nodded.

Old Doctor Zhou asked again, "Apart from buying jade boxes, do you have anything else to do today?"

"Nothing."

"I don't know if it's inconvenient for us to go back with you. Let me, an old man, also see your Ganoderma lucidum. Open your eyes." Old doctor Zhou has been a doctor all his life, and he has become obsessed with medicine to a certain extent.

Liu Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Your words really upset us. I was worried that you would not have time to give me palm eyes because you are too busy seeing patients. If you can really go and show us, we will be overjoyed."

"There's no one here today, and I'll go back with you when you've finished shopping." Old Doctor Zhou looked at Xiaozhuang again, "You can stay and watch the door."

"Master, let me go with you. Anyway, there are no patients today." Xiao Zhuang also wanted to see what the purple ganoderma that even the old doctor Zhou had never seen looked like.

Old Doctor Zhou looked at Liu Xiaodong, "Then..."

"Let Xiao Zhuang go together, just to relax."

The old doctor Zhou couldn't see his eyes when he smiled, "Okay, okay, then I will trouble you."

"How can this trouble us? We want to trouble you, old man. Then, let's go buy the jade box first, and come pick you up after we finish shopping."

Old Doctor Zhou nodded and said, "Alright, then we will wait for you."

"Ah."

Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin searched the street, and finally found a jade box in a pawn shop, which was barely passable. "Shopkeeper, how much is this jade box?"

The shopkeeper compared a number and came out, "500 taels."

"So expensive?" Liu Xiaodong took a closer look at the jade box. The texture was not high-quality. Looking at it according to the light, you can still see a trace of impurities inside. I didn't expect the shopkeeper to dare to speak so much.

"Look, this jade box is so transparent and the tentacles are warm, the price is already very low." The shopkeeper only thought that Liu Xiaodong had never seen a good thing, and finally a big customer came, so the shopkeeper couldn't let it go. The duck that reached its mouth flew away.

Liu Xiaodong lifted the jade box and pointed it to the shopkeeper to see the impurities inside, "I thought that you opened such a big pawn shop, and you should have seen many good things, but I didn't expect that you had never seen a piece of good jade, even a piece of jade. No such obvious impurities were found."

The shopkeeper's face turned blue and red as Liu Xiaodong said, and Xiang Qin couldn't help laughing in his heart when he saw it, his daughter-in-law knew quite a lot.

"I didn't expect Madam to understand this. I'm really ashamed." Of course the shopkeeper knew that the jade box in Liu Xiaodong's hand was not a good item, but he didn't expect Liu Xiaodong to see through it, but he didn't want to lose a lady just like this guest. "Then what price do you think is suitable?"

Liu Xiaodong looked at the jade box in his hand, "50 taels."

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, "Ma'am, please stop joking with me. When I received this jade box, it cost more than 50 taels. See if the price can be negotiated."

"Then what do you mean?"

The shopkeeper was ruthless, "At least 150 taels."

Liu Xiaodong laughed, "The shopkeeper, it's not that I think it's expensive, it's that your jade box is not worth the price. Since you don't want to sell it sincerely, let's go to another store to have a look."

This jade box was taken by the seller for 80 taels when the shopkeeper took it in, because the quality was not very good.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin who were about to leave, "Madam, don't rush to leave, let's discuss it later."

Liu Xiaodong said, "Then you mean to ask me to make an offer?"

"As long as you don't let me lose money, everything else is easy to talk about." The shopkeeper looked at Liu Xiaodong fawningly.
