Volume 2, Chapter 125: A Waste of Talent
"No, we've encountered so many strange things in the square and the inn. If we get on
the road, it'll probably be even worse than when we fell into the mud pit last time! We're not going anywhere, and we're not doing that thing again
. Let's just wait to pick up the guests and finish the mission..."
Yu Meilin seemed genuinely terrified.
"You said it yourself, don't blame me for not being able to do it..."
Yang Erzheng wasn't joking at all.
"Now it seems, it's not that Brother Erzheng is incapable, it's that fate is against me. I accept my fate, okay...
"
Yu Meilin seemed to have suddenly bowed to fate.
So the two of them half-reclined, half-sitting on the car seats, waiting until the early hours of the morning when the train pulled into
the station. The middle-aged man called "Tang Erzang" picked them up and took them to the car. Looking at the time, it was already past four o'clock,
and the sky was barely light. Without stopping, they drove straight back to Xiangyun Village…
By the time they arrived home, it was already broad daylight. The shrewd-looking Tang Erzang, upon seeing his aunt's husband
Yu Guanqun, chatted enthusiastically like long-lost brothers.
His aunt, Zheng Duochun, quickly prepared a sumptuous breakfast—the house was no longer like before, where the best
dish was just salted fish and flatbread; now, there were seven plates and eight bowls laid out on the table…
"Don't eat yet! You know my personality; looking at the goods is much more satisfying than eating any delicacies
!"
Tang Erzang eagerly wanted to see the wild tiger bones and wild lingzhi mushrooms mentioned on the phone.
"Erzheng, hurry up and bring the tiger bone out for Uncle Tang to examine..."
Uncle Yu Guanqun immediately instructed Yang Erzheng.
"Okay..."
Yang Erzheng quickly agreed, went to the east room, opened the large cabinet, took out
a tiger bone that had been sorted and bagged, and then quickly carried it to the west room for Tang Erzang, who knew his stuff, to "examine." As soon as Tang Erzang saw
the tiger skull, his expression brightened: "Old Yu, where did you find this
?"
"Never mind where you found it, tell me if it's genuine..."
Uncle Yu Guanqun immediately added.
"You have to tell me where you found it before I can say if it's genuine."
Tang Erzang was quite cunning.
"The tiger cave on Xiangyun Peak—my wife and nephew found it there themselves, and then very devoutly
brought it back..."
Uncle Yu Guanqun didn't beat around the bush.
"So, it's 100% genuine?"
Tang Erzang asked, weighing and examining the tiger bone in his hand.
"Not 100%, but a thousandth of a thousand, ten thousandth of a thousand, a hundred millionth of a hundred million..."
Uncle Yu Guanqun didn't know how to express the extent of the tiger bone's authenticity.
"No need for such exaggeration. I know this is a pristine wild tiger bone—to
tell you the truth, when my father was young, he collected a wild tiger bone in the heart of Changbai Mountain. He kept it at home for many years,
never telling anyone. Only when he was dying did he call me over, saying that there was a family heirloom to protect the house that he wanted
me to inherit—and when they dug three feet into the ground, they found out it was a wild tiger bone...
"
Tang Erzang acted quite sincerely, even bringing up his family's past.
"Your family... already has wild tiger bones?"
Uncle Yu Guanqun was afraid that Tang Erzang would find an excuse not to keep the tiger bone.
"Yes, but I can only say that we've already had one..."
Tang Erzang added.
"Do we have it or not?"
Uncle Yu Guanqun seemed very anxious to know.
"We could only say we once had it, but during the Cultural Revolution, when they ransacked our house, they found
it. They insisted that our family had murdered a wild tiger that symbolized socialism, and that we were plotting against socialism by hiding tiger bones in our home.
So, they smashed it all on the spot... Luckily, my father died beforehand, otherwise, I would have pounced on them. I would rather they
smash my old bones than let them touch a single hair of those priceless wild tiger bones
!"
As Tang Erzang recounted this, tears welled up in the eyes of this medicine merchant, a truly unique
sight.
"Even if it was smashed, wild tiger bones still have medicinal value..."
Uncle Yu Guanqun immediately added.
"Yes, I was planning to collect the smashed tiger bones after they left, to sell to pharmacies and make genuine
tiger bone wine and tiger bone ointment. But one of them, who knows the value of wild tiger bones, ordered them to be taken away
. I bet they'll just soak them in alcohol and drink it..."
Tang Erzang seemed unable to recover for a while.
"Sigh, what a waste!"
Uncle Yu Guanqun actually used such
sophisticated language that only a professor like Zhang Shaogang, the former host of "Only You," would use! It really impressed Yang Erzheng.
"So, when I saw the tiger bones your family acquired, I immediately recognized them as genuine..."
Tang Erzang finally got to the point.
"Since you know your stuff, let's have a drink!"
Uncle Yu Guanqun was propped up against the wall of the kang (heated brick bed) by the quilt, but he looked
very happy.
"What a rare find! Come on, bottoms up..."
Tang Erzang immediately raised the wine glass that his aunt Zheng Duochun had poured for him.
Yang Erzheng, who had remained silent the whole time, felt something was amiss—normal medicine merchants would try to
downplay the source of their goods to lower the price, so why was Tang Erzang praising the quality of his goods so much
? How was he going to bargain later?
