The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Water and soil support all living beings.

The bile of black bears with similar weight is harvested. After the bile of artificially bred black bears is dried, it is much lighter than the bile of dried wild black bears.

For an adult wild black bear, after the male bile is dried in the shade, the bile powder and gallbladder are weighed on a scale, and the weight is about half a catty. But for artificially bred black bears, the bile after drying in the shade is only more than one tael, not less than two taels.

The huge difference in weight is caused by the living environment.

But even if it were wild bear bile, Sun Qishan had never seen such a big one!

It's not that the old man is ignorant. I think Sun Qishan went to the pharmacy as an apprentice at the age of ten. He has seen countless bear bile in his life. But Sun Qishan had never seen such a big bear bile before. The old man couldn't believe it and couldn't help but wonder if the bear bile was filled with mung beans.

Mung bean powder and bear bile powder are mixed together, and no one can distinguish them. But the shape of bear bile is like a money bag, thin at the top and thick at the bottom.

The narrow upper part is hollow and connected to the bile duct. When hunting the bear overlord, the four soldiers were divided into two groups. Zhang Yuanmin and Tao Fei drove him away, while Zhao Jun and Jiechen intercepted and killed him.

After killing the bear, Zhao Jun personally disemboweled the bear and removed the bile duct. He deliberately left a section of the bile duct.

The gallbladder can be large or small, but the bile duct is fixed. If this section of the bile duct is cut off, opened and everted, and the inner wall is observed, you can know whether the bile duct has been tampered with.

Big bear bile cannot have bile ducts that are too thin. So even if you want to fake it, you need to expand the bile duct. So you can tell by looking at its inner wall.

If the bile duct had not been tampered with, such a thick bile duct would be sufficient to infer the size of the bear's body.

Seeing that there was an extra piece of bile duct left on the bear bile, Sun Qishan knew that the bear bile was 80% genuine, but Sun Qishan couldn't decide how to price the bear bile.

"Old man." Zhao Jun frowned slightly when he heard that Sun Qishan was looking for someone. But Zhao Jun was not disgusted with Sun Qishan's approach. After all, such a big bear would cost a lot of money. No matter who you sell it to, as long as they ask for it, you have to follow their appraisal.

But right now, Ma Ling and Ma Yang are still in the restaurant. Judging from the speed at which Ma Yang eats, they may have finished eating by now. Therefore, Zhao Jun did not have much time to spend time with this old man.

Therefore, Zhao Jun said to Sun Qishan: "There is someone waiting for me at the snack bar next to me. I can't wait for you too long."

"Five minutes!" Sun Qishan raised his hand and said, "Young man, wait for me for five minutes, okay?"

"Okay!" Within five minutes of hearing this, Zhao Jun sat back on the sofa. After Sun Qishan returned it to Zhao Jun, he walked out quickly.

When they arrived at the front, Sun Qishan called over an apprentice and said, "Xiao Si, quickly ride your senior brother's bicycle to Manager Song's house and summon him."

"Hey!" the young apprentice responded, and while running towards the door, he shouted to the male doctor who was prescribing pain pills for an old lady behind the counter on the right side of the door: "Brother, give me your car keys. .”

The bicycle also has a key, but it is locked while driving.

As soon as the young apprentice finished speaking, the thick cotton curtain was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton-padded jacket and a dog-skin hat walked in.

"Hey!" When he saw this person, Xiaosi stopped and shouted, "Manager Song, my master is looking for you."

"Huh?" Song Youzhi was startled, raised his eyes and looked inside, and saw Sun Qishan walking towards him quickly.

"Why are you here so early today?" Sun Qishan said, "I was thinking of asking Si'er to summon you."

Song Youzhi's family lives nearby, and it takes less than five minutes to commute to get off work. He goes home at noon, eats and takes a nap, and normally doesn't come until after one o'clock every afternoon. But today at noon, the couple chatted a few words, and Song Youzhi ran to the pharmacy when he got angry.

Song Youzhi definitely couldn't tell anyone about the fight with his wife, so he said, "Ah, I can't even sleep, so I might as well go to work."

Speaking of this, Song Youzhi suddenly asked: "Master Sun, do you have anything to do with me?"

"There's something wrong." Sun Qishan led Song Youzhi inside and whispered, "That guy who sold big stuff last time is here again!"

This state-owned pharmacy collects a lot of sticks every year. But the last stick collected this year was sold by Zhao Jun more than a month ago.

So when Sun Qishan said this, Song Youzhi reacted at that time. He was slightly startled and asked: "What? He still has a mallet?"

"No!" When he reached the back door, Sun Qishan stopped and said to Song Youzhi: "He came here today to sell the courage of a blind man."

"A blind man is so brave?" Song Youzhi was confused and just said: "If he sells it, then you can accept it."

As soon as Song Youzhi finished speaking, he saw Sun Qishan raise his hands, draw two index fingers parallel to his chest about an inch and a half long, and said: "Such a big man."

"Then we don't want it!" Song Youzhi tilted his head slightly, and then said: "Then what should we do with the wet ones? Let him take them back to dry."

"No!" Sun Qishan heard this and said hurriedly: "It's not wet, it's dry."

"Did he do it?" Song Youzhi frowned and asked with a twitch of the corner of his mouth: "Did he just put mung beans in it?"

When Song Youzhi said this, he was a little emotional. He had just finished having sex with his wife at home and thought about coming to the drugstore and going to the back room to lie down on the sofa and take a nap. I don't want the old man to be nagging as soon as he gets here.

"No!" Sun Qishan looked at Song Youzhi, shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like him to me."

"Huh?" Sun Qishan was stunned. He clicked his eyes and said, "It doesn't look like anything?"

"It's not like planting mung beans." Sun Qishan said, "Is that why I thought of asking you to come?"

Song Youzhi took a deep look at Sun Qishan, and then walked back first.

At this time, Zhao Jun was sitting on the sofa thinking about something. He heard the sound of the door being pushed open. He held the sack roll next to him with his left hand and turned to look at the door.

He saw Sun Qishan coming in accompanied by a middle-aged man. They both smiled at him, and Zhao Jun quickly got up from the sofa.

"Young man." Sun Qishan introduced Zhao Jun: "This is our manager Song."

When Sun Qishan finished speaking, Song Youzhi had already stretched out his hand to Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "Song Youzhi."

"My name is Zhao Jun." Zhao Jun responded with a smile. After the two let go, Song Youzhi turned his left palm and gestured to Zhao Jun: "Please sit down quickly."

Zhao Jun nodded and smiled at Song Youzhi. Song Youzhi seemed to be about the same age as Zhao Youcai, plus Sun Qishan. These two were both elders, and he was a young man. How could Zhao Jun sit first.

At this time, Song Youzhi's eyes saw the big bear bile placed on his triangular pocket.

Even though Sun Qishan had informed him in advance, Song Youzhi was shocked when he saw the bear bile.

After a brief moment of shock, Song Youzhi looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Little brother, can I take a look at this?"

Precious mountain treasures cannot be touched without the owner's permission.

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, picked up the bear bile and handed it to Song Youzhi. After Song Youzhi took it, he looked up and down and from both sides, then lifted the bear gallbladder up with the thin hemp rope that tied the mouth of the gallbladder, and tilted his head to look at the bottom.

After returning the bear bile to Zhao Jun, Song Youzhi raised his hand to signal Zhao Jun to take a seat. Then he and Sun Qishan sat across from Zhao Jun.

After Zhao Jun sat down, Song Youzhi asked: "Little brother, are you going to show your bear gall?"

"Get out." Zhao Jun answered with a simple word.

"Then we have to break this courage." Song Youzhi said: "This courage is too great, we have to take a closer look."

Zhao Jun said nothing, he was waiting for Song Youzhi's follow-up.

Sure enough, Song Youzhi continued: "But don't worry, we are a pharmacy, different from their supply and marketing cooperative. This courage is broken. If there is no problem, we will still accept it as usual."

This was also the reason why Zhao Jun wanted to come to the drugstore. He knew someone in the supply and marketing cooperative, but the two families hadn't moved together for many years, so You Guangquan might not dare to accept the bear bile.

But pharmacies are different. As Song Youzhi said, they are more professional than supply and marketing cooperatives. After breaking open the bear bile, they checked it and collected it as usual. After collecting it, they took the bear bile powder and used it as medicine as usual.

"Okay!" Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing Zhao Jun nod, Song Youzhi turned to look at Sun Qishan beside him. Sun Qishan stood up, opened the cabinet behind him, and took out an ironwood tray.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the overseas barbarians had not closed their doors, there were only four types of high-grade wood in China, namely red sandalwood, sea yellow, golden nan and ironwood.

Among these four types of wood, only ironwood can be found in ordinary people's homes.

The last time Zhao Jun came, the stick Sun Qishan used to weigh ginseng was also made of iron.

This time Sun Qishan didn't take the weighing scale because the bear bile was beyond the weighing range of the weighing scale, so Sun Qishan went out and got the steelyard again.

If he wants to break the bear's gallbladder, he has to use a guillotine. Before breaking, the bear bile that becomes hard after drying in the shade must first be softened.

The methods for softening medicinal materials include soaking and moisture absorption. No matter how you do it, once the gallbladder softens, the weight of the gallbladder will change although the bile powder inside will be fine.

Therefore, Sun Qishan had to weigh himself first and then lose his courage.

The big bear bile was weighed on a scale. Sun Qishan reported its weight and said: "One catty and six pounds, the scale is not high!"

With that said, Sun Qishan pinched the rope for hanging the weight on the scale beam and showed it to Zhao Jun and Song Youzhi.

Zhao Jun glanced at it, then nodded, then looked at Song Youzhi and asked: "Manager Song, if there is no problem after this courage is broken, what shall we do?"

"I'll calculate it for you based on the price of black bear gallbladder." Song Youzhi said: "If it's grass gallbladder, we'll calculate it based on black bear grass gallbladder. If it's copper gallbladder, we'll calculate it based on black bear's copper gallbladder."

This big brown bear lives a long time, and the medicinal value of its bile is much higher than that of ordinary brown bear bile, and can be equal to that of black bear bile.

After saying these words, Song Youzhi asked Sun Qishan: "Master Sun, our black bear grass gallbladder is now..."

When asked by Song Youzhi, Sun Qishan clicked his eyes twice and said: "If you have half a catty of courage, we can give you one thousand and eighty."

"Ah..." Song Youzhi muttered: "Half a catty is one thousand and eighty, one catty is three thousand and six, one tael is three hundred and six, six taels is... six taels is..."

Seeing that the manager couldn't figure out the calculation, Sun Qishan hurriedly handed over an abacus. Song Youzhi pulled it a few times and said to Zhao Jun: "Five thousand, seven hundred and six, I will give you five thousand eight."

"Thank you, Manager Song." Zhao Jun thanked Song Youzhi, then opened his triangular pocket and took out another big bear bile.

"Huh?" Song Youzhi and Sun Qishan were both startled, and they both looked at Zhao Jun's triangular pocket.

At this time, both sides of the pockets were covered with belts. Song Youzhi and Sun Qishan could not see what was in the pockets, but a thought flashed through their heads at the same time: "Can't his pocket be full of bear bile?"

Zhao Jun stood up, handed the bear bile in his hand to Song Youzhi, and asked with a smile: "Manager Song, do you think this bile can be paid according to the black bear bile?"

"Is this brown bear bile?" Song Youzhi asked. Seeing Zhao Jun nod, he shook his head and said, "I can't give it to you. This is normal brown bear bile. I can give it to you at two thousand sixty-one pounds."

The price he gave was the same as what Sun Qishan had given before, but after hearing this, Zhao Jun said, "Manager Song, what if this is a copper gall?"

There was more grass gall and less copper gall, so the price Song Youzhi gave was the price of grass gall.

At this time, Zhao Jun asked, and Song Youzhi said, "Tongdan, I can give you six hundred more."

Add six hundred to get three thousand and two. After hearing this, Zhao Jun immediately said: "Okay, then Master Sun, please weigh it and break it when it's done."

Although Zhao Jun had a lot of bear gall in his pocket, he only had this one copper gall. And this piece of bear bile came from Xiao Zhuge's plan to blow up the underground warehouse. Before killing Qin and Zhang's dog gang, the big bear also planted Zhang Yuanmin upside down in the snow.

At this time, Zhao Jun took it out because he wanted Sun Qishan to deal with the two bladders together.

But at this time, Song Youzhi and Sun Qishan didn't think much about it. Sun Qishan took the bear bile and weighed it on the scale, reporting eight and a half pieces of bear bile.

I just don’t know the quality of this bear bile, so Song Youzhi can’t give Zhao Jun a price yet.

Sun Qishan picked up two pieces of bear bile on the tray and took them out to soften the gallbladder, leaving only Zhao Jun and Song Youzhi in the room.

Song Youzhi wanted to give Zhao Jun a cigarette. After Zhao Jun declined, Song Youzhi stopped smoking. Instead, he asked Zhao Jun: "Where did the little brother come from?"

"I'm from Yong'an Forest District." After Zhao Jun answered, Song Youzhi said "Ah" and nodded. But seeing him like this, Zhao Jun concluded that he didn't know Yong'an.

"Last time you came to sell mallets, I wasn't at home." Song Youzhi changed the topic and continued: "After that, I heard Master Sun talk about you when I came back. Did you say that you were a gang member?"

After Song Youzhi saw Zhao Jun nodding, he asked, "Then why are we still taking advantage of bear gallbladder?"

"People in the mountains don't have much ability. They just do whatever they want to make money." Zhao Jun replied with a smile, then pointed to the scale left by Sun Qishan next to him, and said to Song Youzhi: "Manager Song, I have a few more here. Bear bile, why don’t you show it to me too?”

"Huh?" Song Youzhi was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Jun took out a bear bile from his triangular pocket and handed it to Song Youzhi.

"Yeah." Song Youzhi took it, looked up and down at the outer skin of the gallbladder, and said, "This is the gallbladder of a black man!"

"Manager Song has good eyesight." Zhao Jun praised. Song Youzhi smiled faintly and put the bear bile on the scale. But just when he was about to lift the scale beam, he saw Zhao Jun take out another one.

Song Youzhi was stunned for a moment, then heard Zhao Jun say: "This is also the cowardice of a blind man."

"Ah..." Song Youzhi nodded blankly. The moment he took the bear bile and placed it on the scale, Zhao Jun took out another bear bile and handed it to him.

"This is still the case." Zhao Jun smiled.
