After hearing these words, Sun Hao opened his eyes and observed carefully.
But after observing for a long time, I didn't find anything different.
"Pick a few with your hands to compare, and you will soon find something wrong." Lin Yaqin said with a smile.
When Sun Hao heard this, he immediately reached out and grabbed several cordyceps.
Not long after the cordyceps came into his hands, Sun Hao discovered something was wrong.
The weights of the three cordyceps are actually not the same at all. Two of them can be said to be relatively normal, while the other one is a little heavy.
"this..."
Sun Hao gently put the two lighter Cordyceps sinensis back into place, and then began to carefully observe the heavier Cordyceps sinensis, but no matter how he observed, he still found nothing.
Seeing this, Lin Yaqin immediately laughed.
"You read that right, this Cordyceps sinensis is indeed a fake medicine. The medicinal material itself is not fake, but the fakeness is actually the weight. Its weight is much heavier than the genuine Cordyceps sinensis."
After saying that, Lin Yaqin picked up the Cordyceps in Sun Hao's hand and broke it in front of Sun Hao.
The cordyceps immediately split into two pieces.
"Cordyceps itself is a fungal plant, so it is very light. However, in order to make huge profits, some medicinal merchants like to add lead wire to the cordyceps, or add some mud to the outside of the cordyceps, so as to increase the weight of the cordyceps."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yaqin stretched out her hand and pulled a little, and immediately found a black and shiny lead wire from two broken cordyceps.
Sun Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this.
Precious Chinese medicinal materials such as Cordyceps sinensis are actually measured in grams. If lead wire like this is added, it is equivalent to adding two or even three times the weight.
These medicinal merchants who have been blinded by profit are really ugly.
"Now that you know the specific method, take out the fake Cordyceps inside and let me see it." Lin Yaqin said.
Sun Hao did not hesitate and began to carefully observe every cordyceps he saw, using his own mind to carefully appreciate the differences inside.
Under Lin Yaqin's gaze, it didn't take him long to find all the fake medicines inside.
"Not bad, not bad. Being able to find out all the fake medicines in such a short period of time shows that you are a very observant person. A person as powerful as you is not bad in other aspects. No wonder Mr. Qin is such a strict person.
Everyone praises you so much, it turns out it’s because you are really excellent."
Seeing that Sun Hao had quickly found all the fake medicines, Lin Yaqin not only had a surprised expression on her face, but then looked at Sun Hao with a particularly satisfied expression, and then praised her loudly.
Sun Hao just smiled modestly when he heard this. In fact, he didn't take such things to heart.
"Essentially, most of the fraud in medicinal materials is based on weight."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yaqin came to a sieve full of honeysuckle, and while asking Sun Hao to observe the authenticity, she explained seriously: "For honeysuckle and other similar medicinal materials, counterfeiters usually take advantage of the bloom of honeysuckle flowers.
Add starch and other things to it to increase the weight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Hao immediately found more than ten fake flowers.
If he were to fake it by weight, it would be impossible to hide it from his eyes and hands.
Then he found all the adulterated honeysuckle within a minute.
When Lin Yaqin saw this, she had a surprised expression on her face.
Mr. Qin's apprentice is really not an ordinary person. He was able to find adulterated honeysuckle in such a short period of time.
Because starch is added when the honeysuckle is wet, there is no way to see any traces after the honeysuckle is dried. Even if Sun Hao knows that the fraud is mainly due to the weight, the weight of medicinal materials like honeysuckle is particularly light, and ordinary people will not
What does it feel like.
If you ask the top students in the school to look for them, you should only be able to find half of them.
But I didn't expect that Sun Hao would find all the fake flowers.
"Mr. Qin has indeed taken on a good apprentice."
Finally, Lin Yaqin sighed softly when she saw this.
A disciple like Sun Hao who is extremely talented and knows everything at once is wanted by everyone.
Regrettably, it was Mr. Qin who met Sun Hao.
"In addition to counterfeit Cordyceps sinensis and honeysuckle, the black-hearted businessmen also fake Maccarinis. After adding starch and lead powder, the original one kilogram of medicine suddenly increased to several kilograms."
"There is also Dogwood. According to relevant national regulations, Dogwood can only contain 3% or even 5% of the core. However, as the price of medicinal materials continues to rise, counterfeiters have increased the core content to 30%.
, As a result, those who create and sell counterfeit products make a lot of money, but the efficacy of the drugs is not guaranteed in any way."
When she said this, Lin Yaqin couldn't help but sigh.
"In addition to falsifying the weight of medicinal materials, some people also falsify or adulterate in other aspects." Lin Yaqin took Sun Hao to a sieve deep in the pharmacy. Inside the sieve were three snakes that had turned into mummies.
"This kind of snake is called a white-flowered snake." Lin Yaqin pointed to one of the white-flowered snakes and said, "The real white-flowered snake has a translucent body. The lines on its back are as clear as possible, and the black color on its body is also particularly bright.
The fake snake body lines are blurry and have no charm at all."
"There is also Shayuanzi. This kind of medicinal material is irregular in shape and very small. You must use a magnifying glass to observe it. The fake Shayuanzi will generally be smaller, but medicinal materials like this will be difficult for even an expert to observe.
You also need to identify it carefully, because it is too easy for medicinal traders to fake such medicinal materials."
"The other medicinal material that is most easily faked is undoubtedly Gastrodia elata. It is not uncommon for counterfeiters to use potatoes to make Gastrodia elata in newspapers."
Lin Yaqin told Sun Hao almost everything she knew.
Then Lin Yaqin took Sun Hao to identify medicines.
An afternoon passed like this before I knew it.
Sun Hao learned a lot in this afternoon. Not only did he know a lot of knowledge related to Chinese medicinal materials, but he also knew how to identify medicinal materials.
"If you have time in the future, you can come here often. If there is nothing else, I will basically stay here." Lin Yaqin looked at Sun Hao who was about to leave here with admiring eyes and said this.
Sun Hao's talent in the field of traditional Chinese medicine was so powerful that she, who was well-informed, couldn't help but feel jealous. But at this time, she also understood why Mr. Qin was willing to accept Sun Hao as his apprentice? Like Sun Hao
For an excellent person like Hao, there is no reason to refuse.
