Chapter 1538 Selling Golden Bear Gallbladder (Part )
Zhao Jun and his group returned to Changshan in two cars. It was already 7:30 in the evening when they arrived at the guesthouse.
Before getting off the bus, Zhao Jun said, "Brother, get off the bus and go to the guesthouse to book a room."
"Hey, I get it, brother." Zhang Yuanmin responded, pushed the door, got out of the car and walked into the guesthouse.
"Ruhai, go to the restaurant across the street." Zhao Jun instructed Li Ruhai again, "If there is a private room, invite us in."
Li Ruhai responded, pushed the door open, got out of the car and ran to the restaurant across the street. After entering the house and asking a few questions, Li Ruhai went out and waved to Zhao Jun.
"Baoyu, Xiaochen, each of you carry a bag of money and go directly to the private room at mealtime." After Zhao Jun said this, he got off the car with a long sack in his arms.
Five minutes later, seven people sat down in a private room of the hotel, and Zhao Jun asked everyone to eat and drink as much as they wanted.
Although this is Zhao Weipeng's territory, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui follow them back and forth, so it is impossible for Zhao Jun to let Zhao Weipeng arrange food and accommodation.
After eating and drinking, they went to the guesthouse to stay. Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen stayed in a triple room, with a large sack placed in each of the two empty spaces between the three beds.
Zhao Jun was lying in the middle, and Zhang Yuanmin was on the far left. At this time, he was lying on his side on the pillow, looking at the sack between the two beds, and then looking at Zhao Jun.
"Brother, we're going to take this chance." Zhang Yuanmin said, but then he heard Zhao Jun say, "Brother, don't go with us tomorrow. Go sell leather with Baoyu and Xiaochen."
Li Baoyu and Jie Chen were strong enough but simple-minded. The Zhao army was afraid that if something happened, they would not be able to deal with it properly. He felt relieved to leave Zhang Yuanmin behind.
"Okay, brother." Zhang Yuanmin understood Zhao Jun's concerns immediately and said, "With my brother here, you don't have to worry about this."
Hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Zhao Jun nodded slightly, while Xie Chen on the other bed curled his lips.
The next morning, Zhao Jun and his friends got up at five o'clock and went downstairs to the breakfast shop to have breakfast.
After dinner, Li Baoyu drove the car that Zhao Weipeng borrowed yesterday and took Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen to return the car.
After returning the car, they walked for ten minutes to Zhao Weipeng's company, drove the Jiefang truck to find Zhao Jun and his four companions.
After the two sides met, Zhao Jun took a cloth bag from the car. The cloth bag contained bear gall.
It was not golden bear gall, but the ordinary bear gall that the Chamber of Commerce received.
After taking the bear gall, Zhao Jun gave some instructions to Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen.
Then they split into two groups, and Zhang Yuanmin and his two companions went to Xinji to find Wen Hongchang to deliver the goods.
Zhao Jun, Zhao Weipeng, Zhao Jinhui and Li Ruhai went to Anguo in Zhao Weipeng's jeep.
From Changshan to Anguo, the journey is more than 360 kilometers. Last time, I was not familiar with the route, so I got up very early and arrived at noon.
Having been there once, I was familiar with the route today. We set out two hours late, but still arrived in Anguo at 10:30.
We drove all the way to Traditional Chinese Medicine Street and stopped the car in front of Huichuntang.
At this time, Zhao Jun pushed a long sack roll to Li Ruhai beside him and said, "Ruhai, you stay in the car."
In this day and age, no one would break car windows and steal things. It was reasonable to not keep the person, but there was a huge sum of 290,000 yuan in the car, and Zhao Jun felt uneasy if he didn't keep the person.
The reason why Zhao Jun kept Li Ruhai was not because he did not trust Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui, but because if there was any trouble, he would have to take responsibility if he used weapons. This responsibility could not be borne by Zhao Weipeng and his son.
Anyway, the price of bear bile sold today, whether it is ordinary bear bile or golden bear bile, is fixed and Li Ruhai does not need to play around.
"Brother, leave it to me, don't worry." Li Ruhai held the sack roll in his hand with a determined look on his face.
Although Li Ruhai is young, he has handled guns and participated in militia training.
There was a huge sum of money of nearly 300,000 yuan in the car at that time. If there was an emergency, Li Ruhai would definitely take action.
As soon as Li Ruhai finished speaking, Zhao Weipeng said, "Jun, someone is coming out of the pharmacy."
"Huh?" Zhao Jun looked out the window and saw Manager Huang and Huang Haizhen standing not far away.
Seeing Zhao Jun looking at them, Shopkeeper Huang smiled and raised his hand, silently greeting Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun glanced at Li Ruhai, then picked up the cloth bag containing bear bile in one hand and another sack in the other and got out of the car.
Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui followed over. The two sides greeted each other. Manager Huang was in front and Huang Haizhen was behind. The two men invited Zhao Jun and the other two into Huichun Hall.
As soon as they entered Huichuntang, Manager Huang said to his young apprentice, "San'er, close the shop. We are closed today."
"Got it, Master." The young apprentice walked out from behind the counter, closed the door and hung a sign saying "Closed for business today."
Shopkeeper Huang led the three people to the back hall as he did last time, and saw that the ninety-year-old man of the Huang family was also there.
After sitting down, Manager Huang personally made tea.
Zhao Jun didn't know much about tea and couldn't tell the quality of tea. He picked up the red clay cup and drank two cups of so-called ripe Pu'er tea. When Huang Haizhen poured him more tea, Zhao Jun refused to drink it.
"Manager Huang." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "I brought the two golden bear gallbladders. Are you ready with the money?"
"It's ready." Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile, "We're just waiting for you."
"That's great." Zhao Jun stood up, took off his cotton jacket, tore open the lining, and pulled out a bear gall from the cotton.
This is the one that the bear devils came out with.
At this time, Manager Huang took out a wooden tray from under the coffee table and motioned Zhao Jun to put the bear bile in it.
When Zhao Jun was looking for another golden bear gall, Mr. Huang picked up the bear gall from the tray and said, "This is the one from last time."
After that, Mr. Huang put the bear gallbladder back. Then, the three Huangs waited for the big stuff Zhao Jun had mentioned.
The five taels and two cents worth of golden bear gall is at the corner of the cotton-padded jacket. Only there can it be inconspicuous.
When Zhao Jun took out the bear gall, Mr. Huang reached out to take it. Then he put on his reading glasses hanging on his chest, held the bear gall in the sun, took a look at it, and handed it to Shopkeeper Huang.
After taking the gall, Huang put it on a tray, then handed the tray to Zhao Jun and said, "Young man, if you are sure you want to sell it, I will open the gall."
The last time I came here, Shopkeeper Huang told Zhao Jun that he only takes the powder from the golden bear gallbladder. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a huge loss to buy the gallbladder skin at five or six thousand yuan a gram?
The quality of the bear bile powder can only be seen after it is broken. The price of golden bear bile depends on the gold content in the bear bile.
Zhao Jun stood up with the tray and saw Manager Huang supporting his old man as they walked towards the table in the south. Zhao Jun, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui followed.
Huang Haizhen went to the side, picked up the thermos on the ground, and poured some hot water into the washbasin.
Then, Huang Haizhen took out two new handkerchiefs from her pocket and threw them into the washbasin.
Huang Haizhen, grimacing, fished out the handkerchief, wrung it out until no water came out, and ran over here with it.
In addition to the coffee table, there is also a consultation table in this room, with a pulse pillow, paper and pen on it.
Huang helped Mr. Huang sit on the only chair on the south side, while Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng sat opposite Mr. Huang. Seeing that Zhao Jinhui had no place to sit, Huang Haizhen hurriedly brought him a stool.
After clearing the mess on the table, Mr. Huang picked up the small golden bear gall from the tray and wrapped the whole bear gall with a hot and wet handkerchief.
Mr. Huang did the same thing with the other bear gall.
At this time, Shopkeeper Huang took away the pulse diagnosis equipment and other items and placed a scale on the table.
Manager Huang and Huang Haizhen did not sit down, but stood on the left and right of Mr. Huang.
"This needs to be softened for a while." Mr. Huang pointed to the golden bear gall wrapped in a handkerchief and said to Zhao Jun, "Otherwise, the dried gall skin is too hard and it is difficult to open it. You need to use a lot of force to open it. When you use a lot of force, the gall will shake a little and the bile powder will easily spill. If it spills, you may lose hundreds or thousands of dollars."
Mr. Huang spoke in a gentle tone and with a kind face. Zhao Jun and the other two sitting opposite him listened patiently. At the end, Zhao Jun nodded repeatedly.
"This golden bear gall is not produced by an ordinary bear." At this time, Mr. Huang looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Young man, there must be a very capable hunter in your family."
"Grandpa, you really have a good eye." As soon as Mr. Huang finished speaking, Zhao Weipeng raised his fat hand and gestured, "My nephew, his father and I all hunt like this!"
When it comes to the word "this", Zhao Weipeng gave a thumbs up.
Although Mr. Huang is over 90 years old, there is no cloudiness in his eyes. He looked at Zhao Weipeng with a smile, and then asked Zhao Jun: "Young man, is the bear that produced this little bear gall very human?"
"Old man, how did you know that?" Zhao Jun said in surprise, "The blind bear who produced this bear gall is really cunning. People over there call him Bear Ghost."
"Look!" Mr. Huang glanced at the shopkeeper Huang beside him and said with a smile, "How accurate is this name? Bear devil, cunning."
"It's true." Thinking of what the bear devil had done, Zhao Jun agreed with Mr. Huang's evaluation of it.
At this time, Mr. Huang pointed at the golden bear gall that the black bear monster had found and asked Zhao Jun, "Look at this bear gall. This bear can't be small. It may not understand human nature, but it must be very smart."
"Grandpa, you are quite knowledgeable about this." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "You are right."
Mr. Huang smiled when he heard this, then picked up the small golden bear gall and untied the handkerchief wrapped around it.
"Grandpa, is this enough?" Huang Haizhen asked. Grandpa Huang replied, "Just soften it. Don't wrap it for too long. If you wrap it for too long, moisture will seep in."
Bear bile powder will not affect its efficacy if it is wet and then dried, but it will become heavier if it is exposed to moisture. For something that costs several thousand yuan per penny, isn't the Huang family losing a lot?
As Mr. Huang took off the handkerchief wrapped around the bear gall, Manager Huang placed a small leather scroll on the table.
When the scroll was opened, a small knife was revealed. The knife looked like a carving knife, and the tip of the knife was extremely sharp.
Mr. Huang held the bear gallbladder in one hand and used the knife in the other to cut and scrape the gallbladder skin that was tied with the rope.
"Show the scale to the young man." Mr. Huang gave an order, and Manager Huang brought the scale to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun didn't hesitate to check it and found no problem, then he placed it gently in front of Mr. Huang.
"Don't sneeze towards the scale." Mr. Huang warned them very seriously. It's not that they shouldn't be afraid, but they are afraid that the bile powder will be sprayed away by sneezing.
Then, Mr. Huang said, "And from now on, we have to cover our mouths when we speak."
The reason for covering the mouth when speaking is that one is afraid that the bear bile powder will be blown away by the exhalation.
After saying that, Mr. Huang took the opened bear gallbladder in his hand and slowly poured the bile powder inside onto the scale.
Zhao Jun's family had golden bear bile powder left by his grandfather, so he was not surprised. But when Zhao's father and son saw the golden bear bile powder, they were shocked.
"Oh my god!" Zhao Jinhui covered his mouth and said, "Why are there so many gold stars?"
The bear bile powder was sparkling with golden stars.
"Only the gold stars are valuable." Huang Haizhen said this. After speaking to Zhao Jinhui, Huang Haizhen turned around and asked Huang the shopkeeper, "Dad, how many gold stars are these?"
"You can't tell now." After saying this, Shopkeeper Huang turned around and went to get something from the cabinet against the wall.
At this time, Mr. Huang held the bile skin upside down on the scale, but no more golden bear bile powder fell out of it.
Old Master Huang took the knife again, cut the entire gallbladder skin vertically, poured out the golden bear bile powder hidden in the folds of the gallbladder skin, and then placed the empty gallbladder skin in front of Zhao Jun.
When Shopkeeper Huang came back, he was holding a small jade spoon in his hand, but Old Man Huang raised his hand to stop him.
I saw Mr. Huang gently lift the scales and move the scale string to a balanced position.
Mr. Huang raised his eyes and winked at Zhao Jun. Soon, Mr. Huang put down the scale and showed it to Zhao Jun with the count on it.
The old man had both his hands occupied, and the shopkeeper Huang covered his mouth and said to Zhao Jun, "One tael, five cents and eight cents."
After Zhao Jun confirmed it again and again, he covered his mouth and nodded, saying, "Yes! That's right."
After getting Zhao Jun's approval, Manager Huang used the jade spoon in his hand to stir the golden bear bile powder in the scale.
After fiddling with it twice, Shopkeeper Huang paused and then continued fiddling with it.
After fiddling with it for perhaps thirteen or fourteen times, Shopkeeper Huang finally stopped, made the number six with his hand, and turned around to look at his father in surprise.
Mr. Huang frowned his sparse eyebrows and nodded twice gently.
"This is 60% gold stars." Shopkeeper Huang said to Zhao Jun with mixed feelings, "For this one cent, I can give you 8,000 yuan."
"How much?" Zhao Weipeng's eyes were wide open with disbelief.
He probably calculated in his mind that this bear gall bladder cost more than 120,000!
Zhao Jinhui, who was standing by, was also confused, thinking, is it so easy for people in the mountains to make money? Yesterday, I sold skins and other things for 290,000 yuan. Today, I took out two bear gallbladders to sell, and I got the same amount of money from selling a small one.
"Young man." At this time, Huang the shopkeeper said to Zhao Jun, "You don't know how to tell how many stars it has. You can ask someone else to take a look."
"No need, Manager Huang." Zhao Jun covered his mouth so his expression could not be seen, but his voice was full of joy as he said, "I believe you. If I hadn't heard you say it last time, I wouldn't have known that this bear gall could be sold for so much money."
Zhao Jun absolutely approves of the character of Manager Huang and his family.
"That's what I should do." Shopkeeper Huang said, "If you don't mind, I'll keep the bear bile powder."
"Put it away." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "Otherwise we won't dare to speak."
Shopkeeper Huang turned around, took out a small jade box from the cabinet, and carefully put the golden bear bile powder into it.
After closing the jade box, Manager Huang took out a piece of paper and pen, calculated and checked, then handed it to Zhao Jun and said, "One tael, five cents and eight cents, eight thousand and one cents, the total price is one hundred and twenty-six thousand four hundred."
Even though Zhao Jun was uneducated, he knew the multiplication formula. He took a look and found that there was no problem. He nodded to Huang the shopkeeper and said, "Okay, this is the number."
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, he saw Mr. Huang reach out and take the big golden bear gall wrapped in a handkerchief.
