How embarrassing!
Although he didn't know much about ginseng, he didn't really trust his youngest son. His youngest son never did proper work, never went to the company, and used the dividends from the shares to eat, drink, and gamble. His grandson was just like him. What kind of thousand-year-old ginseng could he dig up? Even Doctor Kang himself didn't believe it!
But whether it was real or fake, this was his son's sincerity. Even if it was fake, he couldn't show it in front of outsiders. If there was anything, it should be discussed behind closed doors.
Now that an outsider like Lin Yi had said it out loud, Doctor Kang felt like he had lost a lot of face!
"Kid, why do you say this ginseng is fake?" Although Doctor Kang's voice was a little angry, he still maintained a calm demeanor. "If you're just spouting nonsense, then apologize, and I'll pretend I didn't hear it! But if you don't, then I'm sorry, we don't welcome you here! "
Doctor Kang's words were reasonable, and no one could find fault with them. Instead, they felt that he was very magnanimous! Lin Yi had embarrassed them like this, and Doctor Kang only wanted Lin Yi to apologize!
Lin Yi didn't expect these people to have such a big reaction. Even the old Doctor Kang had jumped out! It seemed that if he didn't say a few words, he would implicate Kang Xiaobo!
Lin Yi could only stand up and explain helplessly. "Wild ginseng has a long reed head and dense reed bowls. The ginseng body is the same length as the root. It has a human shape and a horizontal body. The horizontal lines on the main root are fine and clear. The color is darker, and the skin is thin and tough. There are many obvious pearl bumps.
"The cultivated ginseng is called garden ginseng. It has a short reed head and few reed bowls. The ginseng body is cylindrical, and the horizontal lines on the main root are sparse and discontinuous. The skin is thick and brittle, and the pearl bumps are not obvious.
As for the authenticity of this ginseng, I think there should be experts in this field. Doctor Kang doesn't know, but there should be someone who knows, right? "
Lin Yi's words were very hurtful. It was obvious that he was mocking Doctor Kang for not knowing how to differentiate between real and fake ginseng. How could he be called a divine doctor?
Doctor Kang's face changed. He didn't expect Lin Yi's words to be so logical. He thought that Lin Yi was just talking nonsense. He stood up and said something to give him a way out. But now, Doctor Kang was in a dilemma.
"Nonsense!" Kang Ming Ming jumped out again. "Grandpa, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. He was sent here by Kang Xiaobo to cause trouble! Let's put the ginseng away and ignore him! "
Kang Ming Ming's words obviously made people think that he had a guilty conscience. If the ginseng wasn't fake, he should take it out and let the experts here identify it. Why did he ask them to put it away?
Kang Ming Ming did have a guilty conscience. This ginseng was bought with his father, Kang Cuipu. How could he not know whether it was real or fake? This ginseng was bought from an artificial farm. It only cost a few thousand yuan. How could it be a thousand-year-old ginseng?
But Kang Cuipu and Kang Ming Ming both knew that their father didn't know whether the ginseng was real or fake. Kang Cuipu's brother, Kang Guifeng, also didn't know. Even if Kang Guifeng guessed that it was fake, he wouldn't lose face in front of others!
Besides, Kang Cuipu only took the dividends in the company and didn't fight for power. This made Kang Guifeng have no resentment towards Kang Cuipu. The two brothers got along well. Kang Guifeng often cleaned up after Kang Cuipu's bad things.
However, they didn't expect that Lin Yi would appear out of nowhere!
"Forget it. Take it away. Whether it's real or fake, it's a gift from Cuipu!" Doctor Kang was not stupid. Since Lin Yi said so, he must be confident. If he took it seriously, he would only humiliate himself. It was better to admit it generously. Anyway, others knew what kind of person his youngest son was. His reputation was already bad. It didn't matter if it was a little bit more.
Doctor Kang admitted it so casually. It didn't cause any uproar. Since Doctor Kang said so, people didn't want to distinguish whether it was real or fake.
Next was Kang Xiaobo's father. It was a very ordinary gift. It was just a few years old ganoderma. Kang Cuipu and Kang Ming Ming had wanted to find fault with it, but it was just a few years old ganoderma!
You couldn't find any fault with a few years old ganoderma. It wasn't a rare item in the first place. If they wanted to find fault with it, it would be like picking bones in an egg.
Kang Cuipu and Kang Ming Ming didn't have a choice. They could only vent their anger on Kang Xiaobo later.
The sons and grandsons had all given their gifts. Now, it was the grandsons' turn. But according to Doctor Kang's patriarchal mindset, only men were allowed to give gifts. Granddaughters couldn't go up.
The first to go up was Kang Guifeng's son, Kang Zhaolong.
This Kang Zhaolong looked older, around twenty years old. He wore glasses and looked like a gentleman. He held a document in his hand as he walked up steadily.
"Grandpa, this is a research topic I researched during my PhD studies. I've already obtained a patent for it. This is a certificate from the school!" Kang Zhaolong handed the certificate over respectfully.
The emcee was about to take it when Doctor Kang waved his hand and walked up himself. His face was flushed, the unhappiness from before gone. "Good, Zhaolong, good job! I'm very happy! "
With that, Miracle Doctor Kang took the certificate and looked at it with a smile. He patted Zhaolong's shoulder. "Work hard! You're the next generation miracle doctor of House Kang!" Zhaolong nodded.
"Wah wah …" The audience applauded. Everyone knew that Miracle Doctor Kang was choosing his successor!
"Is your eldest cousin a medical student?" Lin Yi was a little surprised- he didn't expect Doctor Kang's family to have someone who studied medicine.
"Yes, he graduated from a proper medical school and is currently studying for a PhD in Traditional Chinese medicine …" Kang Xiaobo introduced. "Actually, he's the only one who really knows medicine!"
It was a little ironic and funny, but it was the truth! Lin Yi was speechless as well- why did Miracle Doctor Kang's family seem to be so unorthodox?
After that, it was Kang Zhaoming's turn. His gift was even more mysterious. He said it was some kind of ancient prescription. But with his father Kang Cuipu's example, no one was curious anymore. It was obvious that it was fake. How could ancient prescriptions be so easily obtained?
