Chapter 704: This Herb Is Fake
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Nonsense, this is simply nonsense!!”
His voice was a little loud and stern. Accompanied by the sound of slamming the table, the villagers who were chatting in the courtyard fell silent for a moment.
After a while, someone whispered, “This sounds like Doctor Liu’s voice. What’s wrong? What happened?”
Jiao Laosan was also stunned for a moment. He was the third son of the village chief and was afraid that something would happen inside. He quickly turned around and entered the house.
The other villagers looked at each other. After a pause, they squeezed to the door.
Gu Yundong also walked forward, but she did not move into the crowd. She looked around and walked to the window beside her. She looked in through the open window.
There were a few people sitting in the central room. One of them was Doctor Liu, whom he had seen earlier.
At this moment, his face was red and his eyes were wide open. The beard on his chin trembled, and he looked very angry.
There was also a man in his forties in the central room. He looked a little like Jiao Laosan. He should be the village chief of the Jiao Village.
Then, Shao Qingyuan sat on the chair and drank tea calmly.
He was exceptionally calm in the face of Doctor Liu’s anger.
“The thing you took out is indeed not Bai Muzi. This herb is fake.” As he spoke, he glanced at a box on the table.
The box should contain the so-called Bai Muzi. Gu Yundong glanced at it and felt that it was quite similar to the portrait in the book Dr. Song had given her.
Doctor Liu sneered and closed the box.
“I don’t know which family’s young master you are, but you had nothing better to do that you came to make fun of me. This is indeed an authentic Bai Muzi. A while ago, I even sold two stalks. The buyers are rich families and have doctors in their residences. If it’s fake, the doctors would have been able to identify it. They would have come to find trouble with me long ago.”
As he spoke, he sized up Shao Qingyuan, and the sarcasm in his voice intensified. “You’re not even a doctor, yet you’re pretending to know everything. This will only make you look ignorant.”
The villagers outside also felt that it made sense. A villager who had let Doctor Liu treat him shouted, “That’s right, that’s right. You’re not a doctor. Do you know how precious this herb is?”
“Is this Bai Muzi too expensive? If you can’t afford it, you cannot belittle Doctor Liu here.”
“He’s definitely trying to lower the price. Doctor Liu, don’t fall for it. At most, you won’t sell it. There will always be people who know their stuff.”
When Doctor Liu heard this, he nodded and even turned around to cup his hands at everyone. “Thank you, everyone, for speaking up for me.”
Then, he turned to look at Shao Qingyuan. “I’m not selling Bai Muzi anymore. You can leave.”
Ah Zhu, who was standing behind Shao Qingyuan, sneered. “You’re the shameless person who doesn’t know anything and earn black-hearted money by tricking people. Our young master knows much more than you do.”
A villager immediately said, “Doctor Liu didn’t earn black-hearted money. He didn’t even charge consultation fees.”
“Yeah, he didn’t even take a dime.”
Shao Qingyuan looked up and glanced at the villager who was speaking at the door. He nodded. “He did not charge the consultation fee. He just charged some medicinal herbs.”
Everyone frowned, not understanding what he meant.
Ah Zhu had been by Shao Qingyuan’s side for so long, so he naturally understood at once and immediately laughed out loud.
Someone felt goosebumps from his laughter and asked sternly, “What are you laughing at?”
