Chapter 742 - Its Unscientific (2/2)

The enthusiasm of the masses ran high and everyone was cheering for Qin Haodong and traditional Chinese medicine.

At the same time, after watching the live broadcast, all the netizens started to condemn Lou Zhiping. All his 10 million fans had turned against him and began to curse this traitor.

The police also took action. According to the information provided by Qin Haodong, they brought Lou Zhiping to justice.

So far, this debate on traditional Chinese medicine ended successfully with the victory of TCM and Qin Haodong also became the hero of the entire Imperial Medical College and the hero of thousands of Huaxia people.

After the debate, Qin Haodong gave another lesson and then left the Imperial Medical College.

He came to Su Hui’s clinic and the two of them had a simple lunch and then worked together to treat patients in the afternoon.

Every time he showed up in public, he would use an illusion to slightly alter his face, so no one recognized that this young doctor was the hero of traditional Chinese medicine on the Internet. Everyone lined up for treatment in an orderly manner.

About two o’clock, all the patients had already left and a middle-aged man in his 40s came in.

This man was dressed in plain clothes and looked quite suburban and honest. He seemed to be a typical farmer.

He walked inside with a canvas bag in his hand and said, “Who’s the owner of the clinic, please?”

Su Hui had just graduated from college and was not familiar with any of the dirty tricks played by tricksters in the society. At the sight of the man’s plain clothes, she immediately had a good impression of him. She asked, “Do you want to see a doctor?”

The middle-aged man said, “Ah, you’re the boss here. I am not here to see a doctor.”

Su Hui said in surprise, “Then what can I do for you?”

“Miss, I come from the northeast and I collect herbs for a living. A few days ago, I found hundred-year-old ginseng. I thought that the doctors in my hometown might mistake it for an ordinary herb, so I came here to try my luck.

“Could you please take a look and tell me how much it is worth? It doesn’t matter if you don’t want it. I just want you to estimate its price. You can see that I’m not well-educated and I’m afraid of being cheated.”

The middle-aged man took out a red cloth bag as he spoke.

Qin Haodong had been observing this guy silently. He had already noticed that there was something shifty about this man. Although he looked quite honest, there was a certain slyness in his eyes.

Su Hui could not spot it, but Qin Haodong was not deceived by his appearance. This man would not cause much trouble with Qin staying here with Su Hui.

“Really? Hundred-year-old ginseng? I need it now. If it’s really hundred-year-old ginseng, I can offer a reasonable price.”

As she spoke, she took the red cloth and opened it carefully.

There was something similar to ginseng inside and it looked nearly the same as ginseng. Su Hui was brought up by Su Hongbo and had seen some hundred-year-old ginsengs. So she was good at identifying medicinal materials.

She held the ‘100-year-old ginseng’ and first checked its color carefully and sniffed it. Then she put it on the table and said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t buy it.”

Before leaving home, she had learned some rules of buying medicinal materials from Su Hongbo. Even if she could see that there was something wrong with the medicinal materials, she should not point it out on the spot. She just needed to turn down the deal.

Qin Haodong nodded secretly. It was not ginseng, but something carved with roots. It just looked like ginseng, so it must be made by some experts.

The middle-aged man said, “It doesn’t look very good, but it’s truly an ancient ginseng and I collected it from the remote mountains all by myself. You’re a good person, so how about I sell it to you for 200,000 yuan?”

Su Hui shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t need it.”

“Please don’t do that. It’s quite troublesome for me to come here. Well, I can reduce the price. How about 150,000 yuan?”

Su Hui still shook her head and the middle-aged man gritted his teeth as if he was very unwilling to reduce the price once again. “How about this?100,000 yuan! As long as you give me 100,000 yuan, this 100-year-old ginseng will be yours.”

“Miss, please trust me. You can definitely make a fortune. You can sell it at a higher price.”

“I’m sorry, but you’d better sell it to someone else.”

Then Su Hui wrapped up the ginseng which was carved out of roots and handed it back to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man realized that Su Hui had already seen that this was a fake. His face immediately clouded.

“Forget it. I’ll sell it to someone else. I can definitely get a higher price.”

Then he opened the cloth bag again and pretended to check his ginseng. Suddenly he shouted with an exaggerated look, “Where’s my ginseng? It’s not my ginseng.”

He put down the cloth bag, pointed at Su Hui and cried, “Little girl, I thought you were a good person. But why did you take away my 100-year-old ginseng? Give it to me! Or I won’t let you off today.”

Su Hui was shocked at first and then said anxiously, “I… I didn’t touch your ginseng at all. How could I have taken it secretly? Besides, it’s not ginseng at all. It’s a fake…”

“Nonsense! You’re bullying me because I’m a farmer from the remote mountains. I collected the ginseng myself. How could it be fake?”

Hearing the row, all the patients who had just left the clinic and the passers-by came over. The middle-aged man immediately burst into tears at the sight of these people.
