Upon reflection, their understanding of Mu Hanyan had undergone a drastic change, from initial rejection and disdain to current closeness and reverence; even they found it incredulous.
Big Playboy Mu as a nickname seemed more like a joke to them.
Mu Hanyan walked along the wooden racks, frowning to herself. Although Che Xiang had organized the medicinal herbs well, several seemed to have been mislabeled. However, she wasnât exactly an expert in herbs, just more experienced than others, so she wasnât sure either.
"These are just the herbs, nothing special. If you think you can make a name for yourself with them, Iâm afraid youâll be disappointed," Qu Shanling said disparagingly while looking at them.
Mu Hanyan couldnât be bothered with him, since he dared to boast, he must be confident, but the old god-man was simply unaware at the moment.
Mu Hanyan sneered to herself, Arenât you supposed to calculate anything under the sun, life and death included? How come you canât even figure out such a trivial matter?
"Speaking of which, the grades of these herbs are not bad, but most of them have been terribly mishandled, and look, look, the classification is all wrong. This is obviously Qingpu Grass, yet you insist itâs Sky Blue." Seeing that Mu Hanyan ignored him, Qu Shanling thought he was feeling guilty and became even more arrogant, criticizing the herbs and disdainfully pointing out their misidentification.
Mu Hanyan was struck by a thoughtâthe herb labeled as Qingpu Grass, she also suspected it was mislabeled but wasnât sure.
Hmm, might as well let Qu the Godman help confirm it for free during this opportunity!
"No way, this is clearly Qingpu Grass," Mu Hanyan feigned confusion, picking up the herb and examining it closely.
"Iâve told you itâs Sky Blue, and you still donât believe it? Look closelyâthe serrations on Qingpu Grass leaves are supposed to have hooks, but those on Sky Blue, which look similar, do not have hooks." Qu Shanling found an opportunity to show off his knowledge in front of Mu Hanyan, indicating the plant proudly.
"Oh, so thatâs how it is. Itâs no big deal to misidentify one occasionally," Mu Hanyan feigned discontent, tossing back the Sky Blue and casually ripping off the label.
"What do you mean by âoccasionally oneâ? This is wrong too; this isnât Green Silk Luo but One Leaf Qing. Look at the center of the leaves, against the sunlight, those with a line of green silk are called Green Silk Luo, and without it are called One Leaf Qing." Seeing Mu Hanyan stubbornly arguing, Qu Shanling would not miss the chance to keep criticizing.
"Oh, this is something anyone can easily misidentify, itâs not a big deal," Mu Hanyan continued being "stubborn," tossing the herb and tearing off its label.
"What do you mean by âanyone can easily misidentifyâ? Being wrong is just that, wrong, you wonât even admit it. And this Sea Stone Grass is wrong too..." Seeing Mu Hanyan refuse to back down, Qu Shanling picked up another herb and continued his free identification.
"Sea Stone Grass is indeed rare, misidentifying it is normal," Mu Hanyan was internally laughing joyously, yet he put on a brave front, continuing to play "spot the difference" with Qu Shanling.
"Nonsense, medicinal herbs are used for saving lives; how can you misidentify them so casually? Look at this snake vine, how could you mistake it for blue flower vine... And this Snow Ganoderma Flower, while correctly identified, itâs not the flower but the root thatâs useful. Just because a few petals are missing, you rated it as Third-class, didnât you see the roots are intact? And this Golden Leaf Bamboo, as long as the bamboo sections are intact, itâs top-grade. You marked it as Third-class because the branches and stems were damaged? Ignorant!"
...
Enraged by Mu Hanyanâs indifferent attitude, Qu Shanling passionately pointed out each error in rows of wooden shelves, spitting as he spoke, identifying the errors one by one.
