After shopping around a lot, Sun Dahai also bought a lot of dry goods. Sun Dahai bought a lot of melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, and hazelnuts, which were good sellers.
There were people selling Laoshan ginseng in the market. Sun Dahai was about to ask for a price, but Narisong took him away.
After they were far away, Risongcai told Sun Dahai that most of the ginseng sellers in the market were scammers.
Ginseng counterfeiting has been going on since ancient times, and all kinds of tricks have emerged in endlessly. None of the three of them knew how to identify ginseng. If they really wanted to buy good ginseng, they would have to go to a local product company or a large drug store.
You can't buy good things in such a market. Those real ginseng customers and old herbalists almost have their own fixed sales channels and will never set up stalls in the market.
Gao Yi said with some indignation: "These people are so bad. If someone wants to buy ginseng to cure diseases or die, and buys their fake products, won't it delay the patients?"
As she said that, she turned around and glared at the ginseng seller.
Sun Dahai looked at the indignant Gao Yi and said helplessly: "If you think about it, if someone in your family is really sick, they still have to be sent to the hospital for treatment. Even if you need to buy medicine, you have to buy it in a hospital or a state-owned pharmacy.
How many family members of patients would buy such expensive medicinal materials in a market like this?
If I buy, I do it with the mentality of picking up the slack. Even if I lose money, I am mentally prepared and just treat it as a game.
Didn't you have the same mentality when you and Aunt Peipei were shopping for those old things two years ago?"
Gao Yi replied confidently: "But what I buy are daily necessities. Whether I buy good things or ordinary goods, it is just a matter of more money and less money. What is sold here now is medicine, and it may harm people if it is not done well."
Already."
Gao Yi's sense of justice was overwhelming at this moment. She looked at Sun Dahai and looked like a chivalrous woman who was ready to step forward and eliminate harm for the people.
Sun Dahai sighed. This man's horizons have opened up and he is really courageous. Now even an honest man like Gao Yi dares to take the initiative to stand up when something happens.
However, Sun Dahai was a man...a big boy, how could he let Gao Yi rush ahead. So Sun Dahai took the lead, and the three of them walked back to the stall.
It's called a stall, but it's actually just a quilt spread on the ground. The quilt is half rolled up, with half an old newspaper on it, and someone has written the three characters "Laoshan Ginseng" with a brush.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his early forties, not tall, wearing glasses, a bit thin, and looks very frail. He really doesn't look like a liar.
"Comrade, do you have any old wild ginseng for sale here? Can I take a look?" Sun Dahai said.
Nowadays, northerners are not used to being called boss, so everyone is a comrade.
The stall owner was chatting with someone behind him, and when he heard Sun Dahai's words, he hurried over.
He glanced at Sun Dahai, then at Gao Yi and Narisong who were following him, and said with some hesitation: "Little comrade, do you want to buy ginseng? Where are your adults?"
Sun Dahai is now almost 1.8 meters tall. Although the fuzz on his lips shows that he is at least half a boy, his expression and temperament prevent people from treating him as a child.
At this time, Sun Dahai and Gao Yi were standing together. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty.
The two of them were wearing contrasting split ski suits produced by the Federal German ski sports brand "Bogner". One was red and black, the other was red and white. Among the crowds of black and gray coats in the county town, they looked very different.
So bright and eye-catching.
The ski clothes, including the snow boots they wore, were all ordered by Gao Yi in Xiangjiang and specially prepared for coming to the resort.
Erxiao and Hu Cheng also had a set, and Gao Yi also spent his own money to buy one for Gao Zhizhi.
The ski suits are brightly colored and come in a variety of combinations. Gao Yi chooses something different for everyone, but what she and Sun Dahai wear is a classic couple outfit.
After arriving in Long Province, they put on their ski clothes. Gao Yi felt very happy, but she didn't tell anyone.
When the stall owner saw how they were dressed, he knew that these were no ordinary people. So he asked again: "You want to buy ginseng yourself? Don't you need to ask the adults at home to come and take a look?"
"No need, I just want to buy it myself." Sun Dahai said carelessly.
It is actually easy to tell whether a person has confidence or not. If Sun Dahai has money in his pocket and a good heart, he will certainly look calm and full of momentum.
The stall owner said no more. He squatted down and carefully lifted part of the quilt. Under the quilt were two homemade pine boxes.
The stall owner opened one of the wooden boxes, and a dried ginseng appeared inside, with all the roots and tails. It was really quite big.
The stall owner said: "This is an old wild ginseng that is more than 25 years old. It is in good condition. I will sell it for 200 yuan."
As he spoke, he opened another wooden box and continued: "This ginseng is less than twenty years old and has lost some of its whiskers, so it only sells for eighty yuan. If you want both, you can get another one."
A bit cheaper."
Gao Yi took a few glances and said, "It's all wrinkled and ugly. Besides, it seems a little too small."

The stall owner smiled and said: "This is dried ginseng, that is, dried ginseng, which is easy to store for a long time. If it were fresh ginseng, it would probably have one or two weights. However, fresh ginseng cannot be stored for long, and it is easy to get insects or mold."
"
After the stall owner opened the two wooden boxes, he placed them on the quilt and waited for Sun Dahai to inspect the goods. Sun Dahai didn't know how to identify ginseng. He was afraid that the other party would touch the porcelain, so he didn't touch the two wooden boxes at all.
At this time, I saw someone wanting to buy ginseng. This was a big deal, and many people had gathered around to watch the excitement. Northeastern people have a special affection for ginseng, so everyone was commenting on these two ginsengs.
Sun Dahai looked for a long time, but couldn't see any clue. He turned back and looked at Narisong, who also expressed that he was helpless.
The price offered by others is really not expensive. If the ginseng is as described by the stall owner, it will be much cheaper than what is sold in drug stores.
Sun Dahai was too lazy to think about it. He said: "One plant is two hundred, and the other is eighty. The two plants add up to two hundred and eighty. I will give you two hundred and five. Bah, bah, what a bad number. It is only two hundred and forty, and the total is two hundred and eighty."
Can’t make it?”
The stall owner's eyes lit up and his hands trembled a little. He said, "Of course you can, two hundred and four, just two hundred and four. Can I wrap it up for you now?"
Sun Dahai gestured for Gao Yi to take the money, and said loudly: "The two wild old wild ginseng I want to buy, one is more than twenty-five years old, and the other is less than twenty years old, are you sure you are right?
?”
The stall owner was stunned, hesitated, and then said: "Well, the age of these two old wild ginseng plants is correct."
