Chapter 1315
Transaction Completed
After finishing with the bezoar, Li Yongrui intended to settle the accounts immediately, but Wang An, while taking out a small cloth bag that had contained pig gallstones, said:
"Let's calculate it together later, Brother Li. Let's see how much pig gallstones are worth first."
Li Yongrui nodded, and said as he took the pig gallstone:
"Wild boar bezoar is more valuable, costing 20 yuan per gram, while domestic boar bezoar is 5 yuan per gram."
Wang An casually remarked:
"Yes, I know. I have records here. This is definitely wild boar litter."
Li Yongrui did not argue, but instead casually picked up a grain of pig gallstone to examine it.
All I heard him say was boastfully:
"Pig gallstones are mostly pink, brown, or bright red; they will never be any other color."
"Although this thing is a pig's gallstone, it is completely different from bezoar. You see, the surface of pig gallstones is very hard. You can't even scratch it with your fingernail."
As he spoke, Li Yongrui even took off his gloves to demonstrate.
Then, Li Yongrui pointed to the pig gall in his hand and said:
"The surface of the yellow cow is very smooth and oily, but the pig grit after it has been dried is uneven and has little luster, and is rather dull."
After saying this, Li Yongrui held the pig gallbladder under his nose, smelled it, and then said:
"Unlike the pleasant aroma of bezoar, pig gallstones have a strong urine smell, whether they are from domestic pigs or wild boars."
Wang An and the other three followed Li Yongrui's example and indeed, they all verified Li Yongrui's words.
Finally, Li Yongrui rubbed the pig gallbladder a few times with a small file and said:
"Domestic pigs' urinary tract is bitter and somewhat salty, but wild boars' urinary tract is sweet."
Upon hearing this, Wang An and the other three immediately understood.
So, after all that, here's the difference between domestic pig litter and wild boar litter!
After Li Yongrui finished speaking, he casually picked up the pig litter powder that still smelled of urine and put it into his mouth.
When Wang An and the others saw this, they frowned, each picked up a little bit of pig gall, and after thinking for a long time, they licked it with their tongues.
To be honest, the feeling at that moment was very much like licking the white urine stains on a chamber pot.
Li Yongrui smacked his lips twice and nodded as he said:
"This is authentic wild boar gizzard, and the taste is just right."
Wang An and his three companions tasted it for a while and thoroughly memorized the flavor of the pig's burdock. Although it didn't smell very pleasant, it didn't taste strange at all when put in their mouths.
After measuring with a balance, the pig gallstones brought by Wang An weighed a total of 93.53 grams, or 93.5 grams. At 20 yuan per gram, the price was 1870 yuan.
Adding the 2250 yuan for the bezoar, the total is 4120 yuan.
Adding the 10% premium of 410, the total is 4530 yuan.
After checking the money, Li Yongrui asked Wang Andao:
"Brother Xiao An, before I came, my father specifically told me that you had a pig's stomach covered in boils. I wonder if you brought it with you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang An casually pulled out a pig's stomach from his bag that looked like dried tree bark, covered with countless black spots, and said with a chuckle:
“Then I must have brought it. Your old man said this thing is worth 200 yuan.”
To be honest, although such pig stomachs are valuable, their appearance is really not appealing.
The boils on the pig's stomach look like a dense swarm of worms, giving anyone goosebumps. People with trypophobia might even vomit or faint from the sight.
But Li Yongrui ignored all of that and picked it up to examine it carefully. The more he looked at it, the brighter his smile became, clearly very satisfied with the pig's stomach.
To be honest, although this pig's stomach looks ugly and makes people uncomfortable, it is really big, about three or four times the size of a normal pig's stomach.
After observing for a long time, Li Yongrui finally said with great pleasure:
"Not bad, not bad at all, 200 yuan is definitely not a bad deal, hehehehe."
As he spoke, Li Yongrui counted out another 20 ten-yuan bills from the box and handed them over.
He also said to Wang An:
"Brother Xiao An, to be honest, this pig's stomach of yours is the biggest I've ever seen in my life. The boils on it are especially satisfying, hehehehe."
Wang An happily accepted the 200 yuan and smiled:
"As long as you're satisfied, Brother Li, hehehehe."
After all, for people living in the mountains, wild boar stomachs are not a rare thing; it's just a matter of how many there are.
Therefore, in this day and age, it is quite a rare thing for a wild boar's stomach to sell for 200 yuan.
Feng Chengmin had been watching Wang An's transaction all along, so when he saw Wang An accept the 200 yuan for the pig's stomach, he was completely stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The main issue is that in his mind, selling a pig's stomach for 200 yuan is something that should never happen.
Despite his doubts and confusion, Feng Chengmin never asked any questions.
With that, all the transactions were completed.
Wang An and Feng Chengmin sold a total of more than 3 yuan worth of goods, while Li Yongrui's box only had a dozen stacks of 2 yuan left.
The transaction was completed, and more than two hours had passed. Wang An politely said to Li Yongrui:
"Brother Li, now that we've finished our business, you don't have much money left. Why don't the three of you come with us, stay at our house for a few days, and then go back to Anguo?"
The reason why Wang An was being polite is because he knew that Li Yongrui, being cautious and vigilant, would definitely not stay.
Sure enough, after Wang An finished speaking, Li Yongrui, though no longer as nervous as before, still said:
"Let it go this time. An elder of mine is still waiting for this pig's stomach to cure his illness. We have to take the bus back tonight. I'll come over again when I have the chance. You don't need to tell me, I'll just come to your house for a drink. Don't say you don't know me then, hahaha."
After exchanging some polite words, Wang An and his three companions took their money and left.
After leaving the guesthouse, Wang An and the other three first returned Zhang Shuya's jeep. Wang An then lectured the still angry Zhang Shuya about his reasons for not being a tea connoisseur. Only then did Mu Xue leave the car and head back.
Although Mu Xueli and Wang Li often bickered, they genuinely cared about each other. When they came to the county town, Wang Li drove, but on the way back, he voluntarily gave up the driver's seat so that Mu Xueli could enjoy driving.
Anyway, as long as the two of them are around, Wang An will never drive.
On the way back, Feng Chengmin finally asked the question that had been nagging at him for so long, saying:
"That guy surnamed Li, why is his family charging so much for wild boar stomachs?" (End of Chapter)
