Take Along A Spring

Lao Hu taught Yang Fann very carefully, and Yang Fann also learned very carefully. By the time all the Dendrobium Siderosum in the plastic bag was finished, Yang Fann was already on par with Lao Hu in terms of craftsmanship.    

    

Then, Lao Hu began to pass on to Yang Fann the knowledge and trick of identifying iron skin Dendrobium Officinale: "Look, Younger Brother Yang, these iron skin Dendrobium Officinale have a layer of fine hair on their surface, this is formed after their stem surface fibers have been dried. Also, the shape of good iron skin Dendrobium Officinale should be fine, its size should be uniform, and its granules should be plump."    

    

At this point, Lao Hu paused to give Yang Fann some time to digest the food before continuing, "Brother, look at its color again. The real Dendrobium Officinale, due to its high sugar content, will have a darker color and will appear yellow-green. If waxed, there is a reflection phenomenon. Dendrobium, on the other hand, can be felt with the fingers of a hand and leaves a trail of ash on the fingers.     

    

"Secondly, you can also sniff with your nose. Brother, take one and put it near your nose to smell it. This genuine Dendrobium Officinale will give off a faint smell of grass, not some other unusual smell. This is due to the use of charcoal in the processing of Dendrobium, and after rubbing, rolled into a spring form to become the final form. Therefore, if you smell something strange, it might not be the Iron Skin Dendrobium Officinale. "    

    

Yang Fann took a few pieces of the Iron Skin Dendrobium Officinale and sniffed it. It really was just as Lao Hu said, there was a faint smell of grass, it was very fragrant.    

    

"Hehe, brother, don't be anxious. I still have a way to differentiate between good and bad iron skinned Dendrobium Officinale, pull the Dendrobium Officinale from the middle to the sides. Generally, if the sugar content is higher, with a light pull, it will break from the middle. If you can pull it out for a long time without any signs of breaking, it can be determined to be a fake Dendrobium Siderosum. This is a more important method to identify its authenticity. "    

    

Sure enough, Yang Fann tried it out. Whether it was his or Lao Hu's, it would be broken the moment he pulled it.    

    

Lao Hu took a piece of Iron Skin Dendrobium Officinale and threw it into his mouth. "So what does it taste like?" This is the other method that I wanted to talk about. After putting a Dendrobium Officinale in my mouth for a bit, I will feel that it is a little hard and dry from the start. Gradually, he would feel it changing, becoming more and more viscous, and not as hard and comfortable as when he first put it in his mouth. In the end, the entire Dendrobium was melted into his own mouth. This is what's more miraculous about a Iron Skin Dendrobium Officinale. 'It looks like a blade of grass, but when it bites, it's just like a piece of candy'.    

    

Yang Fann chewed a few pills in a row and firmly remembered this feeling: "Hur Hur, this thing is really interesting."    

    

When Lao Hu talked about his bank, it was as if he was talking about another person. Seeing that Yang Fann was serious, he continued, "After all that has been said, there is also the price of Dendrobium, which can be used to determine whether it is real or fake. Many Dendrobium Officinale that appeared in the market were all called Dendrobium Siderosum s, but in reality, most of them were selling purple or aquatic plants that were like Dendrobii. What I don't know is that the real Iron Skin Dendrobium Officinale is a type of herb that costs a percentage of the money, especially for a high quality Iron Skin like you, you might not even be able to buy it even if you spent money. If the price is too low, then it's absolutely impossible to buy real Dendrobium Siderosum. "    

    

This time around, the teaching lasted all the way until the wee hours of the morning. Lao Hu's voice was hoarse from all the talking, and it finally came to an end.    

    

Yang Fann felt a bit sorry. He quickly took out a tomato from his backpack, washed it and handed it to Lao Hu, "Brother Hu, let's eat a tomato to moisten your throat."    

    

Yang Fann, on the other hand, gave Lao Hu a watermelon. Eating watermelon was better than eating tomatoes to quench his thirst.    

    

Within the Space of Jade Pendant, there were still a few watermelons. However, if he were to go back to the carriage and take them out, he would appear to be lacking in sincerity. Why did he only give one just now?    

    

Lao Hu didn't feel that there was anything bad about eating tomatoes, especially when he saw the bright red, fiery-red tomatoes that looked like a handicraft. His instinct for a second profession triggered as the chef's attributes told him that this thing was a good treasure.    

    

Thus, without saying anything, Lao Hu opened his mouth and opened his mouth, "Wu …"    

    

Due to being caught unprepared, the bite was too big. The juice from the tomato splattered across his face and onto his chest.    

    

"Wow, that's a good thing. Younger Brother Yang, did you fill the tomato with sugar water?" Lao Hu felt that this was not a tomato, but a watermelon disguised as a tomato. Why was there so much water, more than his wife when she was younger?    

    

In just a few bites, Lao Hu had already finished cracking a half pound tomato. The chefs around were all stunned. When had their boss ever lost his composure like this? Was this really just a tomato, not a beauty?    

    

Lao Hu came from a traditional Chinese medical background, and from a young age, he had always been cautious. Although he could not remain calm before Mount Tai collapsed, he had to do his best to hide his true emotions.    

    

Therefore, in the hearts of Lao Hu and his men, their boss was a guy who didn't show any emotion on his face. Even when the kitchen was on fire last time, they had never seen their boss lose his composure like this.    

    

But now, the boss was so surprised and delighted over a tomato. Was this tomato really that extraordinary?    

    

However, it seems like the tomato really tastes good!    

    

Yang Fann was observant and saw the other chefs salivating over him. He took out a few tomatoes from his backpack with a smile: "Here, one for each of you. Don't mind it!"    

    

"I dare not …" "No, thank you." The chefs hurriedly took the tomatoes from Yang Fann, washed them in a hurry, and started to eat them heartily.    

    

Wiping his mouth, Lao Hu looked at Yang Fann: "Bro, you can't be saying that this tomato was grown by your villa, right?"    

    

"Hehe, that's exactly the case. Fuhua Hotel and Crystal Palace are already using my vegetables and fruits, and that watermelon I gave you earlier, was also grown by my Villa."    

    

"Yeah, then what are we waiting for? Little Six, hurry up and go to my office and bring that big watermelon over. Everyone, try it!"    

    

"Yes, boss." A young chef agreed, turned around, and ran out.    

    

After a short moment, the little Six returned, but his hands were empty.    

    

"Eh? Lil 'Six, what the hell are you doing, where's the watermelon? " Lao Hu and the other chefs all looked at Lil 'Six strangely. This guy didn't say anything, he just pushed a cart and ran out.    

    

This time, he waited a little longer, and with a series of grunts, Lil 'Six came back with his cart, "Boss, this watermelon was too heavy, it almost fell to the ground. Why didn't you tell me first, who would it be if it fell?"    

    

"Hehe, Lil 'Liu, you didn't do anything good last night. You can't even hold a watermelon. This watermelon looks big, but it shouldn't be as heavy as you said. Let me try."    

    

Another chef in his thirties couldn't believe it. He bent down and tried to pick up the watermelon from the cart, but there was only a cracking sound before he cried out in pain, "Aiyo, my waist!"
