The courtyard is so luxurious, not to mention the main house.

It is a three-story building facing north and south, made entirely of mahogany.

The entrance hall of the main house was open, with an octagonal table, a Qing Dynasty chest of drawers, and porcelain vases from various dynasties, which were dazzling to the eyes.

Ge Fu shouted loudly inside:

"Second Uncle! Come and see!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a response from the next room and a slightly plump old man came out.

The old man had a ruddy complexion, white hair and a youthful appearance, and a loose white silk robe that added a bit of majesty and wealth to him.

Zhuang Yao explained to Lin Han in a low voice,

This person is Ge Fu’s uncle, the second in command of Jishidiang, and Ge Changqing’s younger brother, Ge Changyun.

oh.

Lin Han nodded slightly.

Although Ge Changyun is not as famous as Ge Changqing, he also appears on TV frequently.

He is also well-known in the circle of traditional Chinese medicine.

Ge Changyun glanced at Zhuang Yao and Lin Han, then turned to his nephew Ge Fu:

"What's wrong? Why are you yelling?"

Ge Fu was not as aloof as Lin Han imagined.

He tilted his head and raised his chin towards Lin Han:

"Hurry up and take out your things! Let my uncle see them!"

Seeing how excited he was, Ge Changyun couldn't help but become curious and turned to look at Lin Han.

Lin Han then took out ten tiger bones and placed them on the Eight Immortals Table with a clang.

Ge Changyun raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining, seeming a little unbelievable, and looked at Ge Fu for confirmation.

Ge Fu nodded.

Ge Changyun then pulled over a chair, picked up one in each hand, and looked at it carefully.

Under the bright light, the tiger bones, the size of mahjong tiles, reflected a dark and shiny light.

The tiger is the oiliest animal in the animal kingdom, so its bones are naturally full of fat.

Lin Han used oil-proof paper on the outside of the bag that contained the tiger bones to prevent oil from seeping out.

Ge Changyun put it under his nose and smelled it again.

After all, it is an animal's thing. Although it has long been weathered, its essence is still there.

Ge Changyun knew the tiger bone in his hand was special as soon as he smelled it.

The reason why tiger bones are considered precious Chinese medicinal materials is, on the one hand, because wild tigers are now key protected animals.

Normally, it cannot be captured at all.

On the other hand, it lies in the efficacy of tiger bones.

Tiger bones are very effective in prolonging life and strengthening the body.

But because it is expensive, most people will use other animal powders instead.

But no other animal can compare to the tiger.

Feeling almost certain, Ge Changyun hurriedly asked Lin Han: "Can we conduct an on-site appraisal?"

The only way to identify tiger bones is to slice them.

Although from the appearance and smell, it can be confirmed with a high probability that it is tiger bone.

But with something this expensive, you should be cautious.

Lin Han nodded:

"As you wish."

Ge Changyun was overjoyed and shouted to the courtyard:

"Do a biopsy!"

Then, a staff member from nowhere came in quickly but silently.

He took the tiger bone from Ge Changyun's hand, put it on the plate, and quickly went back to the yard.

Only after seeing him go to the shop in front did Lin Han and Ge Changyun look away.

At this time, Ge Changyun, a famous Chinese medicine expert, looked at Lin Han seriously.

"What's your name, young man? Are you Ge Fu's friend?"

"My name is Lin Han, and I don't know Ge Fu."

"Oh." Ge Changyun nodded, but didn't say anything.

Ge Fu hurriedly explained:

"His girlfriend, Zhuang Yao, is my classmate."

"Oh? Zhuang Kaiyuan's daughter?"

Ge Changyun asked.

Ge Fu nodded with a complicated expression.

Ge Changyun might also know about the relationship between Ge Fu and Zhuang Yao.

He gave Ge Fu an expression that said, "That's all you can do."

Ge Fu shrugged, quickly changed the subject, and asked Lin Han:

"Brother Lin, your tiger bones are quite expensive, right?"

Lin Han shook his head: "Not expensive, just over two thousand."

"One?"

"No, thirteen. I'm going to grind the other three for fun, and I'll sell the ten to you."

Ge Fu: ...

Ge Changyun: ...!

Jishidiang hasn't received any decent tiger bones for forty or fifty years.

The tiger bone powder produced by Jishidiang now was collected by Ge Changyun’s father by chance in the countryside.

After they were collected, because they were too scarce, they could only be saved for important people.

In Shangjing City, the person who used Jishidiang tiger bones included the old man of Jishidiang, Ge Changqing’s father.

The other two, one is Mr. Qin's father-in-law, and the remaining one is extremely valuable.

Jishidiang didn't even dare to mention his name, let alone announce it to the public.

As for the tiger bone powder left at Jishidiang now, it does exist, even though it has been advertised to the public.

But in reality, it is not enough for one dose of medicine.

No matter what kind of person came, the brothers Ge Changqing and Ge Changyun could only make excuses.

He even offended people because he couldn't produce enough tiger bone powder!

Now, Lin Han actually has ten tiger bones.

If all of them are ground into tiger bone powder, each piece will weigh about 100g.

Together, it’s one kilogram!

A pound of tiger bone powder!

It can supply seven or eight powerful people!

Ge Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and whispered a few words to Ge Fu.

Ge Fu took the order and asked Lin Han and Zhuang Yao to wait here while he hurried upstairs.

After a while, the tiger bones were taken for identification and brought in by the staff.

Ten tiger bones, each cut into thin slices.

The slices were arranged neatly, and the completed piece formed the original shape of the tiger bone.

Lin Han took a quick look and knew that the staff had not damaged or taken away any of the pieces, so he nodded.

It seems that Jishidiang’s corporate culture is good, no wonder it can open so many branches in China!

Ge Changyun was also very satisfied: "It's well cut, you can get busy now."

The staff exited quietly.

Ge Changyun picked up the prepared tweezers, picked up a piece of tiger bone, and looked at it carefully.

Real tiger bones have growth ring patterns inside when opened.

Circles of bones of different colors are evenly distributed.

The more growth rings there are, the older the tiger bone is.

To Ge Changyun's surprise, the number of annual rings on these pieces of tiger bones was more than ten.

In other words, these tiger bones have a history of at least one hundred years!

Ge Changyun looked excited. He put on a one-eyed magnifying glass and carefully observed the center of the tiger bone slice.

Tiger bones of good quality will not have honeycomb-like calcification in the center.

The best tiger bones are firm in the center and not only free of calcification, but will even become oily over time.

No matter which piece of tiger bone Ge Changqing looked at, the center was tight and oily.

After reading each film one by one, Ge Changqing's eyes froze in shock. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and take off the magnifying glass.

"Top-quality tiger bones, more than a hundred years old! What a blessing for Jishitang!"

"That's great! That's great!"

Seeing his shocked expression, Lin Han and Zhuang Yao couldn't help but look at each other.

Lin Han already knew the age and quality of the tiger bones.

But I didn’t expect that a big store like Jishiditang would not bully its customers just because of its size.

Even Ge Changyun directly stated the origin of the tiger bones.

This made Lin Han admire him very much.

Jishidiang also collects antiques and has many aspects that are worth learning for Lin Han.
