"Young man, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. This seven-star grass may look like an ordinary grass, but it's actually more precious than ginseng. There's no market for it at all. It's specially used for the kidney. Although it can't completely cure uremia, when combined with some other medicinal herbs, it can effectively suppress the uremia virus, so that patients don't have to suffer from dialysis anymore. They can work and live like normal people, and they can persevere for a long time while waiting for the kidney.
Origin. "
A pharmacist standing beside the young man explained to him with some displeasure.
The young man was silent, and his expression was uncertain. After knowing the use of the Seven Star Grass, he had to admit that this broken grass was indeed worth the price.
However, he was young and impetuous. He was still somewhat unconvinced. "Even if this Seven Star Grass is valuable, it's only sold for 800,000. It's still far from three million."
As soon as he said this, the people around him looked at him as if he was mentally retarded. Didn't he see those pharmacists surrounding Ding Ning and enthusiastically handing him their business cards? Didn't you see those guys looking at the herb bags with green eyes like wolves?
If he could take out a strand of Seven-Star Grass, who dared to say that he couldn't take out a second, a third …
The young man immediately reacted. His face was flushed with embarrassment, and he wanted to find a hole to hide in. Especially when he stole a glance at the Queen, he found that she did not even bother to look at him, which made him feel extremely depressed.
Ding Ning did not continue to take out the Seven-Star Grass. He did not have many of them. He only had three, and he was waiting to plant them.
He took out a white object the size of a fist. It looked very fleshy and looked like a piece of lard. However, there were nine red stripes on it. It looked extremely strange.
Ding Ning said with a smile, "Everyone, let me test your eyesight. Does anyone know what this is?"
"It looks like Tai Sui, but I have never seen a colorful Tai Sui before. What is it?"
Everyone frowned, not knowing what it was. Only Master Liu, who was knowledgeable, judged it to be the Tai Sui from its shape, but he couldn't be sure.
Ding Ning raised his thumb and praised sincerely, "Mr. Liu, you are really knowledgeable. This is indeed Tai Sui, but it is not Tai Sui in the general sense. Li Shizhen recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that the flesh of ganoderma is shaped like meat. They were attached to large rocks, with heads and tails. They were living creatures. The red ones were like coral, the white ones were like fat, the black ones were like lacquer, the green ones were like emerald feathers, the yellow ones were like purple gold, all of them were as clear as ice. It is also known as the Flesh Lingzhi, but very few people know that the Tai Sui also has an age limit. Every thousand years, the Tai Sui will have an additional red stripe, and its size will become a little smaller. When it has ten stripes, it will become another kind of medicinal herb, called Ten Thousand Years. The one in my hand is a Tai Sui that is more than nine thousand years old but less than ten thousand years old. "
"How much is this? How much? "
"That's right. Ten thousand years of longevity is already very rare. How much is a 9,000 year long longevity worth?"
"F * ck, little brother, I'm afraid we can't even afford this thing."
… The pharmacists were all excited and gathered around to look at it. But after estimating their wealth, they suddenly lost their confidence and wanted to retreat.
First, they were not sure whether what Ding Ning said was true or not, so they naturally would not take the risk to buy this thing that they did not know. Second, even if this Tai Sui was real, they probably could not afford a 9,000 year old Tai Sui even if they sold everything they had. Not to mention a 9,000 year old Tai Sui, even a drop of resin of 9,000 years had become amber now, which was an absolute antique with immeasurable value.
Ding Ning said with a smile, "You think too much. I don't intend to sell this thing. I just want to prove that once I lose the bet, I have the ability to fulfill the bet."
It was also an unexpected surprise for Ding Ning to find Tai Sui in the rainforest. Except for Seven-Star Grass and Emerald Aloe, the other rare herbs in his herbal bag were basically unique. They were kept for planting, and he was not willing to sell them at all.
Due to the lack of money, he had no choice but to sell them reluctantly. But since he found that stone gambling could completely solve his current predicament, he did not intend to sell these herbs anymore.
He took out the 9,000 year old Tai Sui to prove his financial resources, divert attention, and cut off other people's thoughts of buying herbs.
"Of course, little brother, I can be your guarantor."
Mr. Liu was the first to stand up to support Ding Ning. After all, he sold Seven-Star Grass, so he owed Ding Ning a big favor.
"Isn't it just five million yuan? Little brother, I can also be your guarantor. "
"It's just five million yuan. I can also be your guarantor."
"Just bet. If you lose and you don't have enough money in your hand, just tell me."
…
A group of wealthy pharmacists all spoke to be his guarantor, and some even hoped that Ding Ning would lose, so that he had to sell the herbs in his herbal bag. If it was really impossible, he could make a big profit by selling a small piece of 9,000 year old Tai Sui.
The young man was a little guilty, but he thought that Ding Ning was just a medicine seller. Even if he knew a little about carving, it was impossible for him to carve a piece of Ice Type jade into two pendants, which could only be done by a top jade carving master.
The industry of jade carving master was somewhat similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine. The older one was, the more experience he had, and the more profound his carving skills were, the more valuable his works were.
Ding Ning seemed to be no more than 25 years old. How could such a young jade carving master carve two pendants without spending any materials?
Thinking of this, he was immediately full of confidence, and said with a grim smile, "Since you insist on giving me money, then I won't be polite. Mr. Liu, please be my witness and sign the gambling contract, in case someone loses and doesn't admit it."
"Little brother, do you want to think about it again?"
Mr. Liu asked Ding Ning with some concern. After all, Ding Ning could be regarded as his benefactor, and he naturally did not want to see him lose money.
"Mr. Liu, thank you for your kindness. Please be my witness and draft a contract for me."
Ding Ning shook his head without hesitation. What a joke! He had been practicing carving skills since he was three years old. He could carve flowers on tofu with a large guillotine knife, so carving two pieces of jade pendants was nothing.
Besides, he had seen that piece of jade, and even thought about what to carve it into so that it would not be wasted at all.
Mr. Liu shook his head helplessly, thinking that Ding Ning was too young and aggressive, but seeing his firm attitude, he no longer persuaded him. Because of stone gambling, gambling contracts were often signed here, and the text of the contract was ready-made.
They took out their IDs to sign the gambling contract, and Ding Ning knew that the young man was called Xiang Bolong.
Xiang Bolong did not hesitate, reaching out his hand to hand the jade to him, with a confident smile on his face.
"Mr. Liu, do you have a carving knife to lend me?"
Ding Ning asked politely.
"Yes, we have a jade carving master in our auction house. I'll borrow a set for you."
Seeing Ding Ning's confident look, Mr. Liu immediately asked someone to bring a set of carving knives.
Ding Ning did not dawdle, reached out to take the carving knife, and began to focus on carving.
Everyone was dumbfounded, watching the carving knife as if it was alive. Without the help of electric tools, a piece of jade was cut into two pieces in his hand in a short time.
The Queen's calm eyes finally had a ripple. This carving skill was so strong.
Xiang Bolong's face had become gloomy. He did not expect that Ding Ning could really carve jade, and he was so skilled.
Thinking that this piece of jade was likely to no longer belong to him, although three or five million yuan was nothing to him, it was enough to make him feel pain.
After all, he had spent a lot of money on stone gambling during this period, and most of them were lost, which made his finances a little tight.
Ding Ning did not have time to consider his mood, and concentrated on carving. He found that it was not much different from stone carving, which made him more confident.
The reason why he wanted to be in the limelight was that his Queen complex was at work. If he did not show his ability, how could he attract the Queen's attention?
As time went by, the fine jade chips fell, and Xiang Bolong's face became more and more ugly. A pendant had been formed.
It was a ball-shaped pendant, on which a lifelike phoenix was carved. Looking at it attentively, it gave people the illusion that the phoenix was spreading its wings.
Everyone passed it around and marveled at its amazing skill. This carving skill was smooth and natural, and it was not inferior to the two famous top jade carving masters at all.
Some antique dealers who were familiar with the jade carving even felt that it was better than the top jade carving masters'.
When the Queen took the jade carving in her hand and observed it carefully, the natural phoenix made her calm face slightly moved, and then she looked at Ding Ning with an extraordinary splendor in her eyes.
The onlookers whispered and were not stingy with their praises. They all looked at Ding Ning expectantly, wanting to see what the second pendant was.
Ding Ning waved the carving knife in his hand, and it turned into several shadows. The jade powder kept falling, and finally, the second pendant was formed.
It was a crystal clear moon with a dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Looking at it against the sun, the dragon seemed to be alive and soaring in the moonlight.
One moon and one day, one yin and one yang, were a perfect combination, and the dragon and the phoenix were auspicious.
"Little brother, you have a good carving skill. It's beautiful. The carving skill alone makes these two pendants more beautiful. I offer six million."
Fatty Zhang took the jade carving and said excitedly. The flawless carving skill alone was enough to sell this pair of pendants for one million more.
"I offer six million and one hundred thousand. No matter how much Boss Zhang offers, I will add one hundred thousand more to his base price."
The Queen's cold voice sounded, and she did not hide her determination to win at all, which showed her love for the pendants.
"Girl, you can't do this. It's too embarrassing."
Fatty Zhang was shocked by the Queen's aura and handed the two pendants to her with a bitter face. "Since you are determined to get them, I will not bid for them, lest you say that I am driving up the price. Just take it as a good karma."
"Thank you for giving them up, Boss Zhang."
The Queen was neither servile nor overbearing, and did not shed tears of gratitude. She looked at Ding Ning lightly. "Give me your account number, and I will transfer the money to you."
Ding Ning glanced at Xiang Bolong, who left angrily, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "Not for sale!"
"Not for sale?" The Queen seemed to be shocked by this answer and opened her small mouth in astonishment. Her lovely look instantly made her look like a queen lose a lot of color.
"Yeah, when did I say I was going to sell them?"
Ding Ning unceremoniously took the Yang Phoenix pendant from her hand and winked at her with a weird smile. "I won't sell it. I'll only give it to you. You can have the dragon. I want this, one for each of us."
Everyone suddenly burst into an uproar and showed a hint of ambiguity.
Some people looked at the Queen enviously and secretly sighed that it was good to be beautiful. She had an innate advantage, and someone would give her money without spending it.
But when she looked at Ding Ning, her eyes became more eager, and she secretly guessed his identity. Seeing that Ding Ning was wearing street stall goods that cost no more than 300 yuan, he was so generous and gave away something worth more than three million yuan without any hesitation. How could an ordinary person be so generous? He must be a young master from a wealthy family who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger and used money to pick up girls.
