Miss Hongyu moved here to work as a receptionist.
Zhuang Zhou leaned closer and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't tell what kind of treasure it was.
"Miss Hongyu, could this be ambergris again?"
Hongyu smiled and turned to the old man and asked:
"Old man, tell me, where did you get this thing from?"
The old man sighed and said:
"My ox died two days ago. I thought I wouldn't be able to eat the meat even if it died, so I thought about selling it.
But who knew that this thing would be found in the cow’s stomach.”
Miss Hongyu nodded, obviously having understood.
But Zhuang Zhou looked confused.
Just as he was about to speak, Miss Hongyu asked again:
"But this thing was found in the gallbladder of an ox?"
The old man immediately looked amazed:
"Ah! You are so insightful, young lady! It is true. I accidentally cut open the ox gallbladder and found this thing."
etc.
Zhuang Zhou had already heard the clue by now.
The yellowish-brown object in front of you was taken out from the cow's gallbladder.
Could this thing be bezoar?
Zhuang Zhou had heard people talk about it before.
Bezoar is produced by stones in the cow's gallbladder.
Now it seems that this thing best fits the characteristics of bezoar.
"Master Zhuang, you can pay now!"
"oh."
Zhuang Zhou responded and asked the old man for his quote.
Without any bargaining, he just let Ma San pay the money.
Now his backyard warehouse is full of copper coins.
There is no way to spend it all.
So Zhuang Zhou wouldn't even blink an eye at spending twenty or thirty strings of copper coins.
"Miss Hongyu, this treasure is called bezoar?!"
Only after the old man left did Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! Master Zhuang, you dare to pay without even asking clearly?"
"Aren't you here to sit in the hall? You take care of everything, I'll just pay the bills."
Zhuang Zhou now has a clear understanding of Hongyu's life experience.
This woman was the descendant of a royal physician and official of the Sui Dynasty. Due to the change of dynasties, her ancestors suffered and Hongyu was implicated.
At the age of thirteen, she was sold to a brothel and became a geisha.
This was a very common thing in ancient times.
