Chapter 597 The Lion Opens His Mouth

Dou'er knew that Wang Jianguo's worries at the moment were not unreasonable, but he was absolutely confident in the medicine he made himself.

In this black market transaction, trust is a luxury, but since the other party has stepped into their "territory", he must use his own way to make the other party feel at ease, even if it is only temporarily.

After hearing this, Wang Jianguo's mind began to waver slightly. On the one hand, he still had doubts about the authenticity of the medicine.

On the other hand, he was touched by Dou'er's confidence and courage, and for a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

Wang Jianguo stood in the house and felt the pungent smell of medicine becoming stronger and stronger, mixed with the damp and moldy smell in the house, choking him and making him frown slightly.

But at this moment, his attention was completely focused on this transaction involving life and death, and he had no time to care about anything else.

Hearing Dou'er's confident words, his gaze slowly moved away from Dou'er's face and began to look around carefully.

The dim light was like a candle in the wind, flickering in this cramped space, struggling to dispel the darkness and casting a hazy shadow on everything in the house.

My eyes first fell on the large and shabby wooden table. Years had carved countless deep and shallow scratches on its surface, like an ancient page full of stories.

The microscope and distillation tower placed on the table exude a cold and hard metallic luster. The lens of the microscope is spotless, obviously being wiped carefully and frequently.

Although the glass parts of the distillation tower are a little blurry, one can still see the complexity and sophistication of its internal structure.

These are all key equipment for pharmaceutical production. They are not something that can be easily purchased, nor can they be discarded or packed away in a short period of time.

Look at the tall wooden shelf standing next to the wooden table. It is like a silent guard, filled with bottles and jars of all kinds.

Looking closer, you can see that the glass bottles filled with chemical raw materials have labels that are either clear or blurry. Some of the ink has faded and only a few letters can be vaguely made out; some are brand new and shiny, as if they were just put on not long ago.

These chemical raw materials are of various types, including common raw materials used for basic synthesis, as well as some mysterious substances that Wang Jianguo has never seen before and cannot name.

Each of them is a key element in the pharmaceutical process, and discarding any bottle carelessly may mean all the previous efforts are wasted.

Wang Jianguo's gaze slowly moved down the wall. There were some unopened packages of medicinal materials piled in the corner. The coarse cloth bags were stained with a little dust, but they were still sturdy and durable.

Some of these medicine packages are small in size, probably containing some precious and rare medicinal materials, while others are huge in size, perhaps containing some common medicinal materials used in larger quantities.

All signs indicate that the owner has been operating here for a long time and has deep roots, and he doesn't look like he's going to run away at any time.

After a careful examination, Wang Jianguo felt relieved and thought to himself: It seems that these two people are not scammers, but they seem to be really doing "business", and this business is quite large.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, nodded slightly, and said with a somewhat resolute tone:

"Okay, I'll buy it. Name your price."

At this moment, he was looking forward to a reasonable price. After all, he had already expressed his willingness to pay a high price. He just hoped to get the medicine to save people.

Dou'er stood aside, quietly watching Wang Jianguo's reaction. When she saw him give in, a hint of imperceptible joy flashed in her eyes.

He didn't waste any time and just stretched out two fingers, straight in front of Wang Jianguo.

The two fingers stood out particularly in the dim light, as if carrying some kind of unquestionable authority.

Seeing this, Wang Jianguo couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

He thought that although the prices in this black market were much higher than outside, based on past experience, no matter how expensive the life-saving pills were, two thousand yuan should be enough.

Besides, when I raised funds, I also prepared according to the multiples of this price, so it shouldn't be a problem to get 2,000 yuan. Thinking of this, he tentatively said:

"Two thousand? Okay, two thousand is two thousand."

As he spoke, there was a hint of confidence in his eyes, as if he was proud of having guessed the price correctly.

However, Dou'er shook his head decisively when he heard this, and his expression did not relax at all. He looked directly into Wang Jianguo's eyes and said word by word:

"No, they are two small yellow croakers."

The tone was firm and did not allow for any discussion. Dou'er knew that the production cost of this pill was extremely high, from collecting rare medicinal materials to using complex and sophisticated pharmaceutical technology.

Every step took a lot of effort and resources. The price of two small yellow croakers was already a "friendly price" given because Wang Jianguo was sincere in asking for medicine.

Dou'er's unquestionable voice echoed quietly in the house, like a heavy hammer, hitting Wang Jianguo's heart hard.

For a moment, Wang Jianguo froze in place, his eyes wide open, staring at Dou'er, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.

After being stunned for several seconds, his brain began to work rapidly like a machine that had been restarted.

Secretly shocked, Wang Jianguo secretly thanked himself for having made thorough preparations before leaving the house, filling his pockets with all kinds of bills and cash.

He did bring enough money with him, and thought it was more than enough to handle this black market transaction. But he never expected that the other party would actually ask for small yellow croaker.

In these times of turbulence and material scarcity, small yellow croaker, as hard currency, is so valuable and difficult to obtain that it is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

That small, yellow metal bar carries not only wealth but also is a symbol of a scarce resource.

The chances of seeing them on the market are very rare, let alone taking out two at once.

In fact, Wang Jianguo knew clearly that this matter was neither difficult nor easy.

He has a secret that is unknown to others - that is his own space, and the space has the magical function of allowing one to take items at will.

On weekdays, he could always take out some urgently needed small items from the space without anyone noticing, solving many urgent problems.

But now, facing the demands of these two small yellow croakers, even with the help of space, he was still in trouble.

After all, he couldn't just conjure up two small yellow croakers out of thin air in front of Dou'er. If this was discovered, the secret that he owned a mysterious space would be completely exposed, and God knows what kind of trouble would be caused.

In this black market, people’s hearts are secretive, so it’s better to keep out of trouble. Once the secret is leaked, you can’t be sure that others will covet and plot against you. By then, you won’t be able to buy medicine to save others, and you won’t be able to protect yourself either.
