Do I Look Like a Fool?

"This is Panax notoginseng, a total of five pounds, and it is of the best quality. This is wild ginseng, 110 grams, and thirty years old..." The young woman handed the bags of medicinal herbs to Xia Tian one by one.

"Just tell me how much it costs." Xia Tian naturally didn't need this person to introduce the herbs to him. He didn't even need to look at them. He could smell the type and quality of these herbs with his nose.

"Let me do the math..." The female drugstore owner picked up a calculator and started typing, then told Xia Tian the result, "The total is eighty-eight thousand two hundred. I'll give you eighty-eight thousand."

Xia Tian was too lazy to calculate it. He didn't care about this little money anyway. He had plenty of money now, he just didn't know how to spend it.

This pharmacy is actually not very big, but Chinese medicinal herbs are quite expensive nowadays, so many pharmacies accept payment by credit card. In the summer, I swiped the card, put all the herbs in a bag, and then left with the bag.

When leaving, Xia Tian complained a little depressedly: "Isn't there a larger herbal medicine store here? I can't even buy all the herbs, and I have to go to other pharmacies."

"I know a pharmacy that has a complete range of medicinal herbs." The female boss couldn't help but say this at this time. Perhaps because Xia Tian bought a lot of medicinal herbs, she wanted to help Xia Tian.

"Where?" Last time, Xia Tian went to several pharmacies to find medicinal herbs. This time he needed more herbs, but he didn't want to go to more pharmacies.

"In the south of the city, there is a Renjitang, which is the largest pharmacy here. Basically, all kinds of medicinal materials are available there, and the stock is very sufficient. You can take a taxi there. Taxi drivers know the place." The female boss replied.

"Are all the medicinal herbs really available there?" Xia Tian asked a little worriedly.

"If it's not available there, it's definitely not available anywhere else," said the female boss.

"Oh, okay, I'll go buy them there." Xia Tian carried the herbs out of the pharmacy, and quickly hailed a taxi on the side of the road.

Seeing Xia Tian get on the bus, the female boss hurriedly took out her cell phone and made a call: "Brother, there will be a man coming to buy a lot of medicinal herbs later. He is a fool who knows nothing. Don't forget to rip him off."

"How would I know which one it is?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's easy to recognize them. He has a list with a lot of medicinal herbs on it. I'll tell you the names of the herbs. Please write them down. You'll know who will come to buy these things later. Also, he brought a woman with him. She's wearing black clothes and is very beautiful. You'll recognize them at a glance if you see them." The female boss said quickly, and then began to name the names. "They bought wild ginseng, Panax notoginseng, dragon bones..."

The female boss obviously had a good memory. She wrote down the dozens of herbs that Xia Tian wanted to buy. After reporting the names of the herbs, she added, "Brother, this guy is such a rip-off. He spent 88,000 yuan on me. I sold him a ten-year-old wild ginseng as a thirty-year-old one, but he didn't notice it. He must not understand anything."

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away. When the deal is done, I'll give you 20% of the profit." The man on the other end said this and then hung up the phone, obviously preparing to rip off the customer.

Renjitang Pharmacy is indeed quite famous in Yuenan City. Summer soon arrives at the pharmacy. The area of ​​this pharmacy is at least ten times that of the previous one. It looks more like a large pharmacy supermarket. The sales clerks in the pharmacy are all young girls in their twenties, who are all good-looking. There is also an old Chinese doctor sitting in the clinic for consultation. Perhaps because of this, the business of this pharmacy is obviously quite good.

"According to this list, sell me all the medicinal herbs you have in your store." Xia Tian walked in and went straight to a salesperson who looked pleasing to the eye and handed her the written list.

"Oh, please wait a moment, I'll call the boss." The salesperson didn't seem to recognize the items on the list, and hurriedly took the list to the other side. After a while, the salesperson came over with a middle-aged man. Obviously, the middle-aged man was the owner of the pharmacy.

The pharmacy owner glanced at Xia Tian with a smile on his face: "Sir, you purchased so many medicinal herbs, are you also in the medicinal herbs business?"

"Why do you care what I do?" Xia Tian was a little unhappy. "I'm very busy. Don't waste my time. If you have the herbs, give them to me quickly. If not, I'll leave!"

"Yes, of course. Please wait a moment." The pharmacy owner was not angry. "However, sir, I have something to ask you. We have all kinds of medicinal herbs here. We have quite a lot of stock of what you want. However, the quality of the herbs here is the best, so the price is a little bit higher."

"Just get the herbs quickly and stop talking nonsense." Xia Tian was impatient.

"Uh, okay. I'll get it right away." The pharmacy owner was a little embarrassed. He said nothing more, took the list, and started to get the medicine according to the list.

This time, Xia Tian didn't have to wait long. In less than ten minutes, a small mountain of various medicinal herbs had piled up in front of Xia Tian. Finally, the pharmacy owner took out a long box and said, "Sir, I have a treasured 100-year-old wild ginseng here. Do you want it? It's just a little expensive."

"Give it here!" Xia Tian reached out and took it. For the medicine he was about to prepare, wild ginseng was also a key ingredient. Although young wild ginseng could also be used, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng would naturally have a better effect.

"Sir, this wild ginseng costs five hundred thousand, plus other medicinal materials, the total is seven hundred and eighty thousand. Please take a look at the list. This is the unit price and weight..." The pharmacy owner handed Xia Tian the previous list, but now there was weight and unit price on it, as well as the calculated total price.

"Long-legged girl, do you think I look like a fool?" Xia Tian suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Yumei and asked.

"You are a fool." Ye Yumei said coldly.

Xia Tian was suddenly depressed. Did he really look like a fool? Otherwise, why did so many people lie to him today?

"Hey, I'll give you a chance. Bring me the real hundred-year-old wild ginseng and replace the fake medicine with the real one, or I'll smash your pharmacy!" Xia Tian glared at the pharmacy owner in frustration. He wanted to beat him up.

The pharmacy owner's expression changed slightly, and then he looked stunned: "Sir, I don't understand what you are saying."

"Bang!" Xia Tian slapped the counter, and there was an immediate crash. The counter glass shattered into pieces. There were several screams in the pharmacy. The salesperson and some people who came in to buy medicine seemed to be shocked by this.

"Do you understand now?" Xia Tian glared at the drugstore owner.

"Are you trying to rob me?" The pharmacy owner's face changed, and he ordered a salesperson next to him, "Call the police!"

Xia Tian kicked the drugstore owner to the ground, cursing in dissatisfaction: "You idiots, do you really think I'm stupid? The woman in the drugstore sold me wild ginseng that was less than ten years old as thirty years old. I was too lazy to argue with her, but you idiot went even further and sold me wild ginseng that was only one year old as a hundred years old. If I didn't smash your drugstore, you would think I was easy to bully. And, you idiot, it's okay for you to sell inferior products as good ones, but you even put some fake herbs in them. You say I'm robbing, right? I'm going to rob your drugstore first today, and then smash this broken drugstore!"

"Help, help..." a salesperson shouted in panic.

Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention to her and started to rob the drugstore. Of course, he was not robbing money, he was just looking for the herbs he needed. The sales clerks in the drugstore saw Xia Tian robbing openly and did not dare to resist. After all, they were young girls and were usually not very courageous.

As for those who were buying medicine, they had already run out, followed by the sales clerks as well. The pharmacy owner saw that Xia Tian seemed to ignore him, so he also got up from the ground and ran away.

Xia Tian calmly packed up all the herbs he might need, and then he found that they seemed difficult to take away. What made him a little depressed was that there were no hundred-year-old wild ginseng in this pharmacy, and there were not even many that were about ten years old.

But this is normal. It is not easy to find real hundred-year-old wild ginseng nowadays.

"Officer, the robber is inside!" The pharmacy owner outside shouted, and then several policemen rushed in.

"Don't move!"

"Put your hands up!"

…

A few shouts and a few guns were pointed at Xia Tian.

"Do you deserve a beating again?" Xia Tian turned around and looked at the policemen with dissatisfaction. Then, the policemen were all dumbfounded. Isn't this the guy who locked them up in Yueluo Lake Hotel yesterday and wouldn't let them leave?

It was quite a coincidence that these policemen were the ones from the Municipal Bureau who went to Yueluo Lake Hotel after the explosion at Yueluo Lake the night before. Tragically, they were all locked up by Xia Tian like criminals in the end. Of course, they were lucky and did not commit any serious crimes. Now they can continue to work in the police station as normal. But when they saw Xia Tian, ​​they became depressed. What kind of shit luck was this? They were so unlucky!

"Team Leader Xia, you, what's wrong with you..." Someone wanted to ask something, but didn't dare to ask in the end. They just put down their guns tactfully, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, don't leave in such a hurry!" Xia Tian stopped them, "You guys drove here, right?"

"Open it, open it." One of the policemen asked tremblingly.

"Oh, that's perfect. Come here and help me load these herbs into the car and deliver it to where I live." Xia Tian was feeling that there were too many herbs and it was difficult to carry them.

The policemen looked at each other, and without saying a word, they helped Xia Tian move all the herbs into the police car.

The salespeople in the drugstore were all stunned, and the onlookers were also dumbfounded. Then, the drugstore owner shouted loudly: "The police are robbing!"
