Chapter 6 The assessment of two taels of silver
Jingshishan is the famous 5A-level scenic spot in Laojun Mountain in later generations. If you want to enter the mountain, you will first pay a ticket of 100 yuan and a cable car fee of 130 yuan. Most people can't afford it.
However, Jingshi Mountain in the Great Zhou Dynasty was a wilderness and was far away from big cities.
There is no need to get into the mountain, and there is no way, but you may randomly give away a few poisonous snakes and a few wild animals.
During the Five Dynasties, there was a Taoist temple on Jingshi Mountain. Buddhism liked to join the world to avoid disasters during wars. Taoism was different. It liked to be born in the world to save people during wars.
The ancestor of the Chen family was originally a Taoist priest from Jingshiguan. He learned a lot of medical skills and followed his master's arrangement to go down the mountain to save the world.
After several generations of the Chen family's efforts, they finally made their reputation as "Jingshitang" and became a famous doctor in Bianliang City.
But the disciples ran away one after another and traveled around, but Jingshiguan was defeated.
Later, the ancestor of the Chen family bought the land deed here, one to rebuild the temple, and the other to be because the Jingshishan environment is very suitable for Chinese herbal cultivation.
After generations of construction by the Chen family and buying mountain land when you have money, most of the forty-mile Jingshi Mountain has actually become the Chen family's private land.
The Chen family built several pharmaceutical workshops at the foot of the mountain, and also built some villas for the tribes to live in.
In addition, there is the "Jade Emperor's Top" at the highest peak of Jingshi Mountain, and a "Scenic Room View" is built.
The Jade Emperor Ding Mountain is dangerous and there is only a small path excavated from the cliff to pass. There is a "Nan Tianmen" halfway up the mountain, which is a must-pass road, with a strong momentum that is blocking the pass and is indestructible.
The "Scenery View" on the top of the mountain is even more mysterious. It is not allowed to enter the Chen family. The children of the Chen family can only visit and worship each year after the head of the family agrees.
Others don’t know it, but only the heads of the family dynasties know that this scenic spot is the last place for the Chen family to save their lives in troubled times.
However, now the Great Zhou Dynasty is peaceful in all seas. Apart from the Khitans in the north, there are no wars and wars. The Great Zhou people have long been used to this peaceful and prosperous era.
The group of people who entered the mountains to collect herbs finally rushed back to the villa within the specified time.
Chen Jinbai, the contemporary "head of the Chen family, was commanding the workers to prepare medicinal materials on the Saigu Field. He walked around the scene from time to time, testing drugs, and turning back and instructing the foreman to say a few words.
His companion Chen Li followed closely behind, and from time to time he took a pen to remember something in his notebook.
There was a busy scene everywhere.
At this time, several children of the Chen family who came down from the mountain entered one after another, stood in the open space, and placed their medicine in front of them.
Chen Buxi stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Chen Jinsong, "Report to the second uncle, the nephews are back from collecting herbs."
Chen Jinbaimi looked at the seven young men in front of him, slowly walked past everyone, observing the expressions of several people while walking. When he saw his youngest son, he frowned habitually:
"I have already told you the rules. This time I went to the mountains to collect herbs, one is to look at the quantity and the other is to look at the quality. If the medicinal materials collected cannot exceed two taels of silver, they will be judged to be unqualified.
My family has taught you so many years to distinguish between medical skills and medicinal materials. If you don’t like, love, or be angry, you are about to start a teacher. If you can’t even pick the medicinal herbs well and cannot distinguish the authenticity and value, it is unqualified.
The Chen family rules are placed in the hall. I am ugly in front of me. When a whip is pulled down, I have to bite my teeth and stop crying. If anyone shouts, my whip will only be more harsh."
After saying that, Chen Jinbai glanced at his younger son a few more times, his eyes full of jokes.
Chen Buer felt his father's eyes and was so scared that he was trembling. The old man used a big whip to slap people, but he had always been a slaughter.
He looked at the medicine basket in front of him and thought that he had changed so many medicines, so he should be able to hand in the deal, right?
Chen Buxi brought everyone to bow and said, "Yes, we understand!"
Chen Jinbai didn't say anything nonsense, and sat on the chair of the Grand Master who was moved by the people. "Chen Li, you personally evaluate the medicinal materials collected by several young masters."
Chen Li bowed his hand and walked to everyone: "Several young masters have offended you."
Everyone bowed and said that they would return the favor. Chen Li was the companion of the head of the family. Although he was a servant, his status was high and they could not offend him.
Chen Li first came to Chen Buxi and poured out all the herbs in the bamboo trombone, muttering the words in his mouth, and determined the price on the spot based on the maturity, appearance, and preciousness of the herbs.
Chen Li is skilled in medical skills and his level of knowing medicine and debating medicine is first-class, and everyone believes in his ability.
When Chen Buer saw the evaluation begin, he stretched out his head uneasy and looked at it. He felt a little regretful that he was so confident in the afternoon and didn’t take Polygonatum?
Chen Buyu happened to see it and sneered in his heart, still calm on the surface.
"The herbs picked by my elder brother include Scutellaria baicalensis, Wind-proof, Polygonatum, White Peony, Atractylodes macrocephala, Gastrodia elata, etc. The following evaluation should be about 2 taels and 5 cents. Brother, do you have any objections?"
When Chen Buxi heard that he had completed the task, he was happy and would not refuse to accept it. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. II."
Chen Li nodded, walked to the second son Chen Buai again, and poured out herbs and calculated them.
Chen Buai was still expressionless, but just bowed seriously and continued to be his clay Buddha.
"Wow, the second brother picked a lot of medicine and it is of high value. In the following calculation, it can be worth at least four taels of silver."
Hearing Chen Li's praise, the cold-faced King of Hell grinned and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. II."
Chen Li nodded and continued to walk towards the third person...
Chen Jinbai sat on the chair of the Grand Master, but in fact he was looking at his youngest son. He was a little surprised. He originally thought that his youngest son would definitely return empty-handed, but he didn't expect that the medicine basket would be full when he came back.
This was much beyond his expectations, and he naturally felt suspicious. Either the sun came out from the west, or he must have used some means to cheat.
He doesn't know whether others will cheat, but whether his youngest son will be. Chen Jinbai has absolute confidence and will definitely do it.
He set a bottom line for two taels of silver, which was actually aimed at Chen Buer, just to take this opportunity to teach this young son who is ignorant and careless.
The Chen family practiced medicine for generations, and all their descendants had a promising future. Even if they were not talented enough and had poor medical skills, the Chen family's children could not open a clinic, and at least they could open a pharmacy, which would not be a shame to the Chen family's style.
It was exactly the same as Chen Buer, the prodigy, but it turned into an anomaly.
It would be fine if he refused to learn the ancestral medical skills and pharmacies. He refused to learn to read the text and snippets, and he ran away one after another.
But if you want to tell which hotel in Bianliang City has its own special dishes and which Wazi has its own special performance recently, he is very clear and it is simply a living map.
Recently, Chen Jinbai also heard that this kid often goes in and out of brothels, how can he be so great?
Four major defeats in life: eating, drinking, gamble, and this kid is ready to go without losing any of them?
