Su Chen smiled faintly: "I have to say that you and your accomplices are very smart. The two medicinal materials, ground forest ginseng and red snake ginseng, are very similar in appearance. If the spiritual energy in them dries up, only empty shells will be left. For ordinary people,
It is even more difficult to tell the difference between the two medicinal materials based on their appearance.”
Jiang Laosan said coldly: "It's nonsense and lies to confuse the public! If you have evidence, just show it. If you don't have evidence, quickly hand over a thousand non-attributed spiritual stones."
As he said this, Jiang Laosan stared at Su Chen with a sneer, as if he was sure that Su Chen would not be able to produce evidence.
Su Chen said in a leisurely tone: "I just said that the appearance of ground forest ginseng and red snake ginseng are indeed very similar. If the spiritual energy of the medicinal materials is dried up, and it cannot be judged from the intensity of the spiritual energy emitted by the medicinal materials, then there will be almost no other
This method can distinguish these two medicinal materials."
"In other words, the ground ginseng with dried spiritual energy and the red snake ginseng with dried spiritual energy are almost identical, and it is extremely difficult to tell them apart."
At this point, Su Chen's tone suddenly changed, "However, few people know that the appearance of these two medicinal materials is actually different."
"The difference lies in the roots. The number of roots of red snake ginseng is usually an odd number, such as three, five, seven... while the number of roots of ground ginseng is usually an even number, such as four.
Six." Su Chen said slowly.
And when Su Chen's words fell, Jiang Laosan couldn't help but have a flash of surprise on his face, and then he quickly suppressed it.
Obviously, Jiang Laosan had never heard of the method of identification that Su Chen mentioned.
At that moment, Jiang Laosan's eyes fell on the batch of medicinal materials in the box, and he couldn't help but start counting the roots of the medicinal materials.
One stick, two sticks, three sticks...
"Pfft"
At this moment, a clear childish laughter suddenly sounded throughout the entire restaurant hall.
The person who made the laughter was none other than Xiao Ling'er. She covered her little mouth and chuckled while saying, "Brother, I didn't expect you to tell jokes in a serious manner. It's so funny."
Jiang Laosan looked up in astonishment and saw Su Chen's playful eyes.
"Boy, are you kidding me?"
Only then did Jiang Laosan react.
I was actually deceived by a young boy!
Su Chen smiled faintly: "That's right, there is no rule about odd and even numbers at all. I'm just talking nonsense."
"However, after you listened to what I said just now, your first reaction was to count the roots of the medicinal materials in the box. If you were not guilty, why did you count them?"
Su Chen asked calmly.
At this time, other people present also came to their senses and realized that Su Chen was deceiving Jiang Laosan.
Jiang Laosan's expression changed, and he was a little angry. He stood there, wishing he could slap himself in the face. Why did he count the roots of those medicinal materials just now?
But at this time, it was too late to regret, as whispers began to ring around him.
"Jiang Laosan was really counting the roots of those medicinal materials just now. Is he really guilty?"
"Yes, if the medicinal material in the box is really red snake ginseng, there is no need for him to count the number of roots. Unless he knows that the medicinal material in the box is not red snake ginseng at all, he will count it out of guilt.
"
Everyone was talking about it, and Jiang Laosan was suddenly put in an extremely unfavorable position.
Jiang Laosan naturally refused to admit that he had been tricked by Su Chen. He sneered and said: "That's a bunch of nonsense. Besides, to put it bluntly, even if there is ground ginseng in this box, it will not be the same as the one handed over to you."
It was fresh ground ginseng at that time, but now it is dried ground ginseng. Didn't you tamper with it?"
Su Chen said calmly: "I heard that there is a vitality potion that can temporarily keep the dried and expired medicinal materials fresh in appearance, but it is just an appearance. In fact, the spiritual energy inside has already been dispersed. And this potion only lasts for seven days.
It will take up to seven days for the herbs to completely turn into a dry appearance.”
"Jiang Laosan, tell me, if I ask someone to test the vitality potion content in this box of medicinal materials now, will I be surprised to find that there is a large amount of vitality potion remaining in this box of medicinal materials?"
Su Chen asked this question in a calm tone, causing everyone present to gasp immediately.
"Could it be that the medicinal materials in this box are about to dry up and expire? Jiang Laosan used special potions to make the medicinal materials look fresh, but in fact, the inside of the medicinal materials has long been rotten."
"In this way, even if the Red Rainbow Mercenary Group has not touched the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials will automatically dry up when the seven days expire."
"If that's the case, Jiang Laosan also lied that these medicinal materials were red snake ginseng and demanded sky-high compensation from the Chihong Mercenary Group. It's really a big deal."
The public discussion put Jiang Laosan in a disadvantageous position in public opinion again.
"Jiang Laosan is not usually a good person, so it is not surprising at all that he would do this."
"Yes, if this young man hadn't noticed everything clearly, Jiang Laosan might have succeeded."
"Is there anyone who knows about the potion of vitality? Come and identify it. As long as the potion of vitality is detected in this box of medicinal materials, it can be proved that Jiang Laosan deliberately manipulated it in order to blackmail the Chihong Mercenary Group."
Jiang Laosan's face looked pale and uncertain. He looked at the people around him and realized that he had failed in today's blackmail, and there was no point in denying it any more.
At that moment, Jiang Laosan glared at Su Chen fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Boy, just wait for me!"
"Walk!"
Jiang Laosan waved his hand without hesitation and prepared to leave the restaurant with his men, not even leaving the boxes of medicinal materials on the ground.
"Wait a minute."
Su Chen's voice suddenly sounded, "You want to leave before you pay the Chihong Mercenary Group?"
"remuneration?"
Jiang Laosan sneered. He did this to extort the Chihong Mercenary Group's spiritual stones. Now that the blackmail failed, how could he turn around and pay the Chihong Mercenary Group the spiritual stones?
"Boy, you want me, Jiang Laosan, to spit out spiritual stones. I have to say that you are the first in this Yinfeng Village."
Jiang Laosan said fiercely with fierce eyes.
"Since you hire the Chihong Mercenary Group, you have to pay for it. This is a matter of course." Su Chen said calmly.
"Okay, kid, you're fine."
Jiang Laosan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly ducked to Su Chen's side, stretched out a hand, and grabbed Su Chen's shoulder.
Looking at his posture, it was obvious that he wanted to knock Su Chen to the ground on the spot.
However, just when Jiang Laosan's hand was about to grab Su Chen's shoulder, Su Chen also moved. He dodged Jiang Laosan's hand with agility. At the same time, he raised his right arm and fiercely pointed at Jiang Laosan.
The third child swung it away. Su Chen smiled faintly: "I have to say, you and your accomplices are very smart. The appearance of these two medicinal materials, Dilin Ginseng and Red Snake Ginseng, is very similar. If the spiritual energy in them dries up, only
Empty shells make it difficult for ordinary people to judge the difference between these two medicinal materials based on their appearance."
Jiang Laosan said coldly: "It's nonsense and lies to confuse the public! If you have evidence, just show it. If you don't have evidence, quickly hand over a thousand non-attributed spiritual stones."
