The so-called counterfeit medicines are divided into three different types: adulteration, counterfeiting, and preparation using special methods."
"For example, among the lanterns in front of you, can you spot the fake ones?"
Lin Yaqin pointed to the lantern in front of her, and then asked aloud.
When Sun Hao heard these words, he immediately stepped forward, touched and smelled, and then carefully identified it.
But the final result made him frown.
He tried for a long time but could not tell whether the medicinal materials were genuine or fake.
"There are quite a lot of people who make fake lanterns. It is not easy to buy pure lanterns. Generally, these people use alum and other chemical materials to make them. The lanterns that have been treated with this method are
The texture is a little hard, and the taste is a little astringent, and some have no taste at all. Generally, counterfeiters will cut the fake lantern grass into several sections and mix it with the genuine product for sale."
Lin Yaqin started talking seriously after hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Sun Hao immediately picked up a piece of lantern grass and put it in his mouth and licked it, and found out that he really smelled of **.
"Another example is Atractylodes macrocephala, which tastes pungent and numb."
"Adulterators usually process sweet potatoes and potatoes into similar shapes, dry them in the sun, and then dye them with dyes. The method of identification is actually very simple. It is the so-called first taste and second taste."
"The first step is to check whether there are any obvious processing marks around the Atractylodes macrocephala."
"The second taste is to taste whether the taste of Atractylodes Atractylodes is authentic."
After finishing speaking, Sun Hao looked at it carefully, and then put it in his mouth to taste it. As a result, there was no taste at all.
It looks like this thing is really fake.
If you take a closer look, you can also find subtle processing marks.
I took another piece of real food and tasted it carefully. As a result, my tongue became numb after a short time.
It turns out that there is such a big difference between real medicinal materials and fake medicinal materials. When Sun Hao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Then, under Lin Yaqin's step-by-step introduction, Sun Hao got to know more than ten kinds of medicinal materials at once, and gradually discovered a pattern: most fake medicinal materials actually have pungent smells.
This is what he discovered through his nose while trying to learn to identify medicinal materials.
"Aunt Lin." After Sun Hao discovered this difference, he immediately said, "I feel that most fake medicines actually have a very strange smell, some are more pungent and some are more bland, but no matter what,
There is still a big difference compared with real medicinal materials."
"good."
Lin Yaqin couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She said in a positive tone: "Of course, sales must be considered when selling fakes. If you want sales to increase, you must use fakes to look like real ones. Therefore, when they make fake medicinal materials,
They will be soaked in various chemicals, so that the smell emitted by the fake medicine will be infinitely close to the real medicine."
After hearing these words, Sun Hao seemed to understand and nodded slightly.
Then the two people continued to study.
Almost half an hour passed, and Sun Hao suddenly made another discovery. There was a big problem with the feel of fake medicinal materials compared to real medicinal materials.
"Aunt Lin, I found that the weight of these fake medicinal materials actually exceeds that of real medicinal materials. In addition, the closer the taste is to real medicinal materials, the stronger the taste."
Sun Hao held an antelope horn in one hand, weighed it carefully, then put each of them under his nose and smelled it, and finally came to this conclusion.
"I didn't expect that you would also discover such a characteristic."
Lin Yaqin showed a surprised expression on her face when she saw this, "It seems that you have really remembered what I taught you. Let's talk about the antelope horn in your hand. Such precious medicinal materials are adulterated."
People are most familiar with it. They will make the plastic look like the real thing, so that ordinary people can't see any difference in appearance. In addition, they will also carve the texture and dye it with the unique smell of the antelope."
"It's just that the body is made of plastic, and its weight is at least greater than that of a real antelope horn."
"For ordinary people, the heavier the antelope horns, the better. But when they took the antelope horns back, they discovered that what they bought was actually a fake."
When she said this, Lin Yaqin couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the expression on her face, she seemed a little lonely.
The business of traditional Chinese medicine is a hundred times more complicated than I imagined, otherwise there would not be so many people specializing in the business of counterfeiting traditional Chinese medicine.
"I never thought you could find the characteristics of fake medicines in such a short time."
Lin Yaqin sighed in surprise, then looked at Sun Hao and said, "I have taught many outstanding college students, but none of them can do what you have done today, so you are better than them all."
"
Lin Yaqin's words gave Sun Hao great affirmation.
In Lin Yaqin's opinion, Sun Hao's talent is quite high, so high that it is shocking in Chengdu.
Lin Yaqin was also a little envious of Mr. Qin's good luck.
"In fact, the highest level of identifying medicinal materials is not to use your eyes to see, your nose to smell, and your mouth to taste, but to feel."
She probably thought that Sun Hao was very talented and could understand everything quickly, so Lin Yaqin did not make any transition and went directly to the highest level of identifying medicinal materials.
"Feel?"
After listening to Lin Yaqin's words, Xiangshou showed a dull expression on his face.
"That's right, it's a strange feeling that only doctors have."
Lin Yaqin nodded slightly when she heard this and said: "You can immediately tell whether a medicinal material is real or fake by just putting it in front of you and taking a quick look at it. There is no need to do any complicated work at all."
"How can ordinary people do such a thing?" Sun Hao couldn't help but said in a surprised tone when he heard this.
Those who make and sell counterfeit products don’t know how much time and effort they have spent on this, before they can make fake medicines to the point where ordinary people can’t tell the difference with the naked eye.
If there is recognition in this world that one can tell the authenticity of medicinal materials just by looking at them, then merchants of counterfeit medicinal materials should not faint from crying?
After a long period of hard work, you still can't block people's eyes?
"Things like this can actually be done." Lin Yaqin pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and then said, "As long as you do something repeatedly, you will naturally gain experience. Once you have experience, you will be able to
It will become very easy to distinguish the authenticity of medicinal materials in a short time."
Sun Hao lowered his head and thought deeply after hearing this.
The words Lin Yaqin just said touched his heartstrings and gave her a very strange feeling in her heart.
Vaguely, Sun Hao seemed to feel something, but when he really felt it, he felt nothing.
"Do not worry."
Lin Yaqin couldn't help but grin when she saw this, and said: "If you want to reach such a state, it will take a long time. The extensive and profound knowledge of Chinese medicine cannot be learned in one day."
"I see."
Sun Hao nodded slightly when he heard this.
He knew in his heart that this feeling did not come out of thin air.
