Painted skin

Early the next morning, Pi Qinghua came to the exchange venue again in Lang Yixing's modified Hummer.Anyway, the first time has already been done, so it's no big deal to do the second and third time.

Pi Qinghua glanced at the guy next to him who was trying to hide his complacency, and couldn't help rolling his eyes inwardly.He seems to be getting used to this guy by his side now.For a person like him, this is really not a good sign, but he didn't resolutely keep people out of the door.

Forget it, let nature take its course.He was too lazy to think so much.

There was no stall today, so after arriving at the venue, Pi Qinghua, Lang Yixing, and Lang Zhi went directly to the Chinese medicine exchange venue.This morning is the quality appraisal of the drug, and the afternoon is the rematch of the Chinese medicine exchange competition. There are many things to watch in one day.

At this time, there is still half an hour before the start of the traditional Chinese medicine exchange meeting.But the venue was already full of people, as if someone was watching people at the door. When Pi Qinghua and the others entered the venue, someone immediately spoke.

"It's Mr. Pi, right? Vice President Xu has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me!"

Pi Qinghua didn't say much when she heard the words, she just nodded and followed that person and left.And Lang Zhi and Lang Yixing, one big and one young, are like two bodyguards, and they look very imposing when they follow behind him.

Pi Qinghua walked up to the judges' platform, and there were already about ten judges sitting there. There were men and women among the ten judges, but all of them were over 40 years old without exception.And Xu Guozheng, who bet with him yesterday, is actually younger.

Xu Guozheng looked at Pi Qinghua, with a somewhat apologetic expression on his face: "Little Pi, right? Because the machine broke down suddenly yesterday, I took the two researchers and left early. I heard that you will go back later." Did you still ask me for your ginseng skin? At that time, I was too anxious and accidentally took your ginseng skin away. Now the ginseng skin is here, please check quickly to see if it is still Isn’t it your ginseng skin?”

As Xu Guozheng said so, he spread his left hand, and there was a piece of ginseng skin the size of a palm inside, which looked like a piece of crumpled tree bark, which was not noticeable at all.

Pi Qinghua narrowed her eyes slightly and brought the ginseng skin over. To his surprise, this piece of ginseng skin was really the one he drew by himself, and it felt very familiar to the touch.

"It's mine." Pi Qinghua didn't say anything other than this sentence.

A smile appeared on Xu Guozheng's face: "It's fine if there's nothing wrong. Then we're going to get down to business. The bet between the two of us yesterday is today, and it just so happens that there is still half an hour before the evaluation and exchange of traditional Chinese medicine. Half an hour is enough for ten experts and the newly repaired machine to identify the age and authenticity of this piece of ginseng skin. How about it? Do you want to continue?"

Pi Qinghua still wore a mask on his face. He saw Uncle An sitting on the judging panel looking at him calmly, and nodded: "Of course, I believe in your medical skills and ethics. You can start now."

As Pi Qinghua spoke, she handed the ginseng skin to a female master of ceremonies next to her who was carrying the plate, deliberately avoiding Xu Guozheng.After all, some things are worse than one thing less. If he can directly identify the authenticity and confirm that his ginseng skin is real, Xu Guozheng's face, he will not slap him.

However, he still underestimated the thickness and shamelessness of Xu Guozheng.

The first thing to be appraised was the newly repaired machine. Pi Qinghua watched the two appraisers put the ginseng skin into the machine. Because the machine is made of half glass, people can still see the appearance of the ginseng skin inside. After 3 minutes, the identification results will be displayed on the machine.

Five-year-old Danshen bark, medium quality, can be used in important formulas of common ginseng bark.Medicinal value is general.

This is the summary of the ginseng skin shown above.

When seeing this result, Pi Qinghua's bright eyes really turned cold in an instant, and beside him, Lang Yixing narrowed his eyes and looked at the two serious appraisers beside the appraisal machine , laughed a little sinisterly.Courage is not small, but skill is also good.

Also surprised were Uncle An and another old man in a wheelchair on the judging panel.Compared with Uncle An's surprise and uncertainty, the old man's expression was much more secretive.

Afterwards, the results of human identification are not much different from those of machines.Those present here are either the dean and vice-president of the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, or the helmsman of a respected family of traditional Chinese medicine, or the owner of a well-known pharmacy and medical center. Although they are not at the level of national players, they are not far behind.

"Little Pi, what's going on? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Uncle An spoke first, with a worried look on his face.Whether Pi Qinghua took the wrong medicine this time, or he was tricked by someone, if he can't give a convincing answer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along in the Chinese medicine circle in the future.He wanted to ask Pi Qinghua for his opinion at this time.

But Pi Qinghua didn't answer him, but turned to look at Xu Guozheng.

At this time, Xu Guozheng didn't have much expression on his face, but his flickering eyes and the slightly raised corners of his mouth directly showed that he was in a very good mood at this time.

"Little Pi, I also know that you are sending medicinal materials to Brother An. I heard that the three types of medicinal materials, Magnolia bark, Guijianyu and Baixianpi, from Anyun Pharmacy have been quite effective recently. It can be seen that you He is also a serious and discerning child, but he must not be complacent about it, let alone mistake an ordinary salvia ginseng skin for a thousand-year-old ginseng skin. Causing an irreparable mistake." Xu Guozheng spoke earnestly, like an elder who was preaching.The other nine judges present and the people around couldn't help nodding when they heard it.

It's just that the more Xu Guozheng talked, the colder Pi Qinghua's face became.When he finally said "you are still young and need a lot of experience", Pi Qinghua interrupted him abruptly, his voice was quite indifferent, but extremely clear.

"That piece of ginseng skin is not the ginseng skin I just gave you. What's the use of saying so much?"

Xu Guozheng's words came to an end.It was as if his whole body was stuck in the neck, and for a moment his face flushed red and his eyes were ferocious.But soon he returned to his original gentleness.

"Little Pi, this is your fault. It's not terrible to make mistakes for a while, what's terrible is that you are stubborn and make mistakes again and again. Don't ruin your promising life just because of temporary benefits and face. . " Xu Guozheng said with sincerity. "The machine was tested under our watchful eyes, and then these nine experts in the medical field identified it. The most important thing is that this ginseng skin is something you have confirmed with your own eyes, and all the tests are under your nose How can you say that this ginseng skin is not yours?"

Pi Qinghua didn't pay attention to Xu Guozheng whose tone was already serious.He glanced at the vice president who looked like a good person, and said with a sneer: "I will give you the same words. It is not terrible to make a mistake for a while, but what is terrible is that you are obsessed with making mistakes and making mistakes again and again. Don't ruin your promising life just because of temporary face."

"You! It's unreasonable!! How can there be someone with an unclean mind like you in the Chinese medicine world?!"

Pi Qinghua didn't bother arguing with him anymore, she directly took the piece of ginseng skin into her hand, and found that the bag had indeed been dropped.Looking back on the previous series of processes, the only ones who could have tampered with it were the two appraisers.He looked over suddenly.

And at this time, President Lang Da, who had always been very present but silent, finally acted.

His movements were like a hurricane.When everyone didn't react, he directly grabbed the two appraisers, and when everyone thought he was going to do something thug, he slammed the person on the left, just listen to that person There was a sound, and then a piece of bark fell out.

Lang Yixing sneered: "Who can tell me? What is this thing?"

The appraiser obviously didn't expect his actions to be discovered, but instead of showing a panicked expression, he asked dissatisfiedly: "Who are you? How could you come on stage without authorization? Please leave!"

Lang Yixing looked over with a glance, and the man suddenly went blank. "...This ginseng skin is the thousand-year-old ginseng skin that Vice President Xu wants us to identify later! Don't make a mistake! Take a closer look at this ginseng skin, it is much smaller than the one he took before!"

People were still skeptical just now, but after hearing this sentence, their doubts were dispelled. It is true that this piece of ginseng skin is much smaller.

Seeing that he still didn't give up, Lang Yixing shook the appraiser on the right, and then another piece fell down.

At this time, people looked at the two black ginseng skins and felt that the development of the matter suddenly became so unexpected.At this time, the judges on the stage looked at Xu Guozheng with scrutiny and suspicion, and they naturally thought of some possibility.But it was hard for them to believe that Xu Guozheng in front of them would be such a person.

At this time, Vice President Xu, who was still triumphant and earnest before, was already covered in cold sweat. He looked at those scrutinizing eyes on the opposite side and understood very clearly that if he could not give a reasonable and formal explanation, he would After that, even if the family goes bankrupt, there will never be any possibility of development.

So Xu Guozheng took a deep breath and continued.He first picked up the two pieces of ginseng skin, thankful for their irregular shape. "Since the matter is already like this, then I won't say anything else. The reason why I suspected this kid's ginseng skin yesterday was because I happened to get two real thousand-year-old ginseng skins by chance. Xiaopi Although the thousand-year-old ginseng skin looks very similar to my real ginseng skin, these two pieces of ginseng skin have been in my hands for several years, and I look at them carefully every day. How can I not tell the real from the fake? What? So, when I saw the fake ginseng skin, I couldn't help it. I'm usually not a troublesome person, but I just don't want to see someone cheated."

"And these two ginseng skins are what I want to compare with the fake ones. I asked those two people to hold them for me to facilitate identification. Who knows, in the end, someone bit me back." Xu Guozheng said His complexion was very bad: "The people's hearts are really..."

"How can you be so toothless at an old age!!"

A crisp child's voice sounded, interrupting Xu Guozheng's words.Everyone followed the voice, only to realize that it was the half-grown boy standing behind Pi Qinghua. "Daddy said that one of the most annoying people is the person who is leaning against the wall and has no teeth! I didn't know who it was before, but now Xiaozhi is sure that you have no teeth!"

Lang Zhi's face was flushed with anger, and he looked very angry.However, Pi Qinghua and Lang Yixing, who were familiar with him, knew that this kid was committing a crime at the moment, look at the way he was beating around the bush and cursing others.Still innocent.

The people sitting here didn't quite understand what the child meant, but Dr. Wen, who was standing next to Uncle An, suddenly felt blessed: "Could it mean mean and shameless?"

Lang Zhi nodded heavily.

The others were a little speechless, but they couldn't help laughing.

Xu Guozheng's eyes were red with anger, how dare a yellow-mouthed child say that about him!But before he had time to reprimand him, Pi Qinghua spoke again.

"Are you sure these two pieces of ginseng skin are yours? It's not that you cut my ginseng skin into two pieces?"

Xu Guozheng's heart tightened, but his face didn't change at all. "It's natural, what is my identity, I want to lie to you?!"

"Then do these two pieces of ginseng skin have any marks or characteristics?"

Xu Guozheng didn't understand what Pi Qinghua meant when he said this, but yesterday he carefully looked at the ginseng skin up and down, inside and out, and there was absolutely no mark at all.So he shook his head and said affirmatively, "No!"

Then, he saw Pi Qinghua's eyes showing a sinister smile, and Xu Guozheng heard Pi Qinghua say: "There are marks on my ginseng skin. You give the ginseng skin to the masters, and then Let them test it."

"I can be sure that one of the two pieces of ginseng skin in your hand must bear my mark."

At this moment, everyone present was aroused by this turning point, but Xu Guozheng felt very clearly that he seemed to have fallen into a trap, a trap that had been woven long ago.But the trick he set up was seen through from the very beginning.
