It turns out that although Cheng Antai looks so rich on the surface, in fact, he is just the Binyang agent of a big family in the provincial capital.
This family is the Ouyang Family of the four major families in the provincial capital.
Although the Ouyang family ranks low among the four major families in the provincial capital, its strength cannot be underestimated. Not only does it influence the political and business circles in the province, but also across the country, the Ouyang family has strong backstage support.
The Ouyang family has a great business and has a large number of supporters in the provincial capital, such as the Fang family, the Liao family, etc., who are all in alliance with the Ouyang family.
Not long ago, the old man of the Ouyang family suffered from a strange disease. He searched for famous doctors but could not cure it. Finally, a Taoist priest provided a folk remedy, saying that if he could find an extinct creature and make medicine for the old man, his disease could be cured.
As soon as the Taoist prescription came out, the people of the Ouyang family started looking for this strange prescription everywhere. As subordinates of the Ouyang family, Cheng Antai and others were not idle and participated in the search.
However, this recipe is simple to say, but in practice, it is as difficult as a fantasy. In this world, since it is said to be an extinct creature, there is naturally no trace of it. Is it possible?
Are you saying that you want to find a dinosaur to stew for the old man to eat?
For more than half a year, the Ouyang family has deployed almost all the power at its disposal, but they have never found the magic formula that the Taoist priest said. And just when everyone was about to give up, they didn't want to be pried by Cheng Antai.
Some news has arrived.
When Cheng Antai learned that Lao Zhao from a small fishing village had a Yangtze River shad that had disappeared for twenty years, he took it into consideration and determined that the Yangtze River shad was the extinct creature that the Taoist said.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case. Just imagine, if a creature has disappeared for twenty years, doesn't it mean that it has become extinct? Now that it suddenly reappears in the world, doesn't it mean that God has sent a gift to the old man?
A life-saving medicine?
Therefore, Cheng Antai personally approached Lao Zhao and wanted to buy the divine fish from Lao Zhao at a high price.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhao is a weirdo with a stubborn temper. He is not moved by huge sums of money at all. Although he does not understand Cheng Antai's real purpose of buying fish back, he knows that Cheng Antai has no intention or ability to pass on the Yangtze River shad.
, it was not sold to him no matter what.
Cheng Antai couldn't find any fish, so he decided that this kind of magical fish was the best medicine to cure Mr. Ouyang, so he tried every means to ask for it many times, and even sent bald men to snatch it away.
After listening to Cheng Antai's narration, Liang Fei felt dumbfounded. He was a doctor himself, but he didn't know if there was any other magical fish in the world that could have such miraculous effects and could be used as a special medicine to cure diseases and save people.
"Mr. Liang, what are you laughing at?"
As soon as Cheng Antai finished speaking, he saw Liang Fei smiling disapprovingly and couldn't help asking strangely.
"Hahaha, Mr. Cheng, I'm laughing at you for not arguing between right and wrong and actually believing what a monster says."
Liang Fei did not hide his meaning at all, and laughed loudly: "Although in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, some fish can also be used as medicine. But being able to be used as medicine does not mean that fish are medicine. I have studied medicine for many years, and I have never seen this before.
I’ve heard that eating fish can cure diseases.”
"this……"
Hearing what Liang Fei said, Cheng Antai and everyone else also looked ashamed. They were not stupid people, but this matter was urgent, and besides, the Ouyang family was in urgent need of medical treatment, which put pressure on them in many ways.
, they are also very passive.
"Mr. Liang, what you said makes sense."
Cheng Antai looked a little embarrassed. After looking at Liang Fei, he sighed helplessly and said: "Actually, we also had this idea at the beginning, thinking that this violated the fundamental laws of food and medicine. Although some
Food is also medicine, and medicine is also a real thing, but it is true that no one uses fish to treat diseases..."
Cheng Antai had not finished speaking, but he paused midway. Liang Fei did not interrupt, he knew that Cheng Antai must have something to say.
As expected by Liang Fei, Cheng Antai paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and said suspiciously: "But this Yangtze River shad seems to be a little different...
This kind of fish used to be a delicacy on the dining table, but then it became extinct. Now it suddenly appears, but only a few appear. Is this in response to the Taoist priest's motto, and can it really cure Mr. Ouyang's disease? "
Although this was just Cheng Antai's own guess, he didn't dare to use his own guess to figure out what it meant. Even if he knew that Liang Fei didn't believe it, he didn't dare to forcefully convince him?
"Boss Cheng, you are too superstitious!"
However, regarding Cheng Antai's speculation, Liang Fei unceremoniously denied him, and said in a voice that Cheng Antai and the others could not refute: "I can tell you clearly that the Yangtze River shad is just a species of fish.
It is fresh and can be eaten, but it is a fantasy to expect it to cure diseases.
What's more, this kind of fish has disappeared for twenty years, and now it has reappeared. It must be protected by the state, and even the king of heaven cannot eat it!"
"this……"
Hearing Liang Fei's long speech, Cheng Antai and others were immediately speechless by him. They looked at Liang Fei in astonishment, their mouths wide open, but they were speechless.
After a while, Cheng Antai seemed to realize something from Liang Fei's words, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Liang, you said... if you don't give this divine fish to Mr. Ouyang... I don't know, Mr. Liang
Do you have any better way?"
To be honest, Cheng Antai was really conflicted. He didn't want to spend such a high price to acquire that magical fish.
If this fish is effective in curing Mr. Ouyang's disease, then it would be okay, but if the eggs are useless, wouldn't all the money he spent be wasted?
"What else can be done?"
Seeing Cheng Antai's pitiful look on his face, Liang Fei felt irritated and ridiculous. He glared at Cheng Antai angrily: "Since Mr. Ouyang is sick, we must first find out what happened to him."
What kind of disease is it, and then we can prescribe the right medicine to cure it?"
"Well, well, I think so too!"
Although Liang Fei's words sounded perfectly logical, he was inadvertently led into a trap by Cheng Antai. Upon hearing this, Cheng Antai's shrewd old eyes were no longer cloudy, but shone brightly.
, looked at Liang Fei and said: "Mr. Liang, you are a miracle doctor with such superb medical skills. I wonder if you can accompany me to the provincial capital to treat the old man of the Ouyang family?"
After hearing this, Liang Fei suddenly felt like he was being plotted by the old fox Cheng Antai. It seemed that Cheng Antai's real purpose of inviting him here today was really not to buy the divine fish at double the price, but because he wanted to
Please go to the provincial capital to treat Mr. Ouyang! (To be continued)
