After the braised food is cooked, it is all soaked in the marinade.
As for the half wild boar in the oven, it also needs to be roasted slowly over low heat.
After having braised pork with rice at noon, everyone came to the medicinal materials market in Kangding City under the guidance of the herdsman tour guide.
“The Tibetan area, located on the plateau, has always been a producer of high-quality medicines.
Although Kangding is well-known throughout the country for its tourism industry, it also produces a lot of medicinal herbs.
For example, we are selling wild Cordyceps today, as well as the well-known saffron, Fritillaria cirrhosa, and Polygonatum sibiricum.”
Along the way, the pastoral tour guide kept introducing Kangding's special medicinal materials, and everyone became interested in the medicinal materials market.
However, when everyone arrived at the entrance of the medicinal materials market, they discovered that the so-called medicinal materials market was actually just a street that was not particularly wide.
There is a row of modernly decorated stores on both sides of the street, and you can see the traffic lights at the intersection at the end of the street at a glance when standing at the entrance.
Seeing this, the little princesses immediately lost interest in the rest of the journey.
However, the brothers Li Chengqian and Li Tai, perhaps because of the influence of the pig intestines or because they were attracted by the story of the pastoral tour guide, had the look of curious babies on their faces.
When people walked into the medicinal materials market, they saw many baskets placed on the ground.
There were some medicinal herbs in the basket, including Cordyceps sinensis, Polygonatum sibiricum, and other things Zhou Yu didn't recognize.
But the quantity is not large, it's like they just picked up some from the ground and sold them.
Seeing Zhou Yu and the others' faces full of curiosity, the herdsman guide quickly came over to them and whispered a reminder: "These are local Tibetans, don't ask for prices easily."
"Aren't they going to set up a stall to sell these herbs? Why can't they ask for the price?"
Hearing the reminder from the pastoral guide, Li Tai couldn't help but ask.
In fact, he was not the only one who had such doubts. Even Zhou Yu and others all looked puzzled.
Is there some inside story here that we don’t know?
“Ahem, they are indeed selling medicinal herbs at a stall, but they are not under the jurisdiction of the medicinal herbs market.
To put it bluntly, they dug these medicinal herbs themselves, and there is basically no guarantee of their appearance and quality.
Not only that, once you ask the price and the other party agrees to your bargain, you have to buy the herbs no matter what.
Many tourists, unaware of the local customs, approached the shop out of curiosity and ended up buying a bunch of medicinal herbs they didn’t need.”
Although it was somewhat embarrassing, the herder tour guide still patiently explained the whole story.
Upon hearing that there was such a rule, Zhou Yu immediately understood what was going on.
In fact, similar things are not uncommon in China.
Especially in the past when the economy was not yet developed, similar things were not uncommon.
It is only in recent years, with the rapid economic development and gradual improvement of the legal system, that such cases of forced buying and selling have become less common.
"Doesn't the pharmacy next door buy medicinal herbs? Why don't they sell these herbs to the pharmacy?"
The person questioning this time was Li Lizhi.
As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, she could naturally understand what the pastoral tour guide meant, but she just didn't understand why it was so.
Upon hearing her question, Zhou Yu said directly and affirmatively without waiting for the herder tour guide to speak: "On the one hand, there is a big price difference between purchasing and selling. After all, pharmacies also need to make a profit.
On the other hand, there were only so many things in their baskets, and the quality didn't look very good. Even if the pharmacy was willing to buy these herbs, they would definitely lower the price.
As for individual medicinal materials with defects, they are likely to be rejected.
With this calculation, instead of selling to pharmacies at low prices, it would be better to set up a stall here.
If you can meet a tourist who has only a limited understanding of the medicine, not only can you sell it at a high price, but you can even mix in the defective herbs and sell them.”
After hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, the pastoral tour guide next to him nodded in agreement.
Finally, he added, "If they really can't sell, they will eventually sell these herbs to buyers at a low price. So when purchasing herbs, you must not only know how to negotiate the price, but also be able to distinguish the quality of the herbs."
The pastoralist guide spoke frankly, and Zhou Yu and others became extremely alert after hearing his words.
Although they came to sell medicinal herbs, it was their first time here and they were from outside the area.
If you are not careful and get cheated, the loss will be a small matter, but you will definitely feel very bad.
Seeing Zhou Yu and the others all looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the herdsman tour guide couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, we're going to my friend's place this time, I guarantee there won't be any problems."
As he said that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Everyone followed the pastoral guide into a pharmacy, and then saw the pastoral guide's unique way of greeting.
His voice was so loud that if you didn't know him, you would think he was here to quarrel.
Seeing this, the little kid who was following Zhou Yu couldn't help but move closer to him and said, "Little Nianjun, won't the herdsman uncle get beaten for doing this?"
Zhou Yu: ...
This is also the question I want to know.
If this way of speaking were to happen in places like Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, where people would fast forward to "What are you looking at? What's wrong with you looking at me" as soon as they have a disagreement, Huaqiang might come with a machete and ask if he is cooked.
certainly.
The expected conflict did not occur.
When the shop owner heard the herdsman tour guide's greeting, he came out to greet him warmly.
