Why did Qin Sanpao die? It was because he was careless, thinking that Hei Xiazi was dead, and ended up getting caught in the crossfire.
A single shot blew the black bear's head off, but the black bear still didn't react, which proved that he was truly dead.
So Liu Yuhe took a knife, stepped forward, cut open the bear's belly, and took out its gallbladder.
"It's a grass gall, but it's quite heavy. I reckon it can fetch some money."
Bear bile is generally classified into grass bile, iron bile, and gold bile (copper bile).
Bear bile, also known as grass bile, is generally formed between the beginning of spring and the time bears hibernate.
During this period, the black bear ate a lot.
Because black bears are omnivores, especially fruits, their bile at this stage is mostly green and is called "grass bile," which is of the lowest quality.
Ordinary bear bile is usually hard and brittle, with a thick paste-like consistency; this type is also called ink bile or iron bile.
This type of bear bile generally has a slightly fishy smell, melts in the mouth, and tastes extremely bitter, classifying it as medium quality.
Only the kind that is golden yellow, transparent and shiny like amber, with a crisp texture, and tastes bitter at first but sweet at the end, is the best quality copper gallbladder, also known as golden gallbladder, and is the top grade of bear bile.
Generally speaking, to obtain the best quality bear bile, one must do so during winter, when black bears are hibernating in their dens.
Awaken the black bear from its tree hole or rock cave and deliberately provoke it.
The angrier the black bear, the larger its bile swells, and the better its quality.
It is said that the best bear bile can be obtained by simply pricking it with a needle.
If you dip a needle tip dipped in bile into a drink, the bile will flow vertically to the bottom like a drawn line, without ever branching out.
Of course, Sheng Xiping had never tried it himself; he had only heard about it from others.
