Merchant and doctor

Chapter 635 Snuff Bottles

Seeing that Bian Mu had no intention of accepting the gift, Daniel quickly explained a few words.

"In line with the principle of doing as the Romans do, both of them are celebrities in the local medical community. One is highly respected and the other is a cutting-edge avant-garde. I repeatedly consulted many friends and finally prepared these two gifts. I don't speak Chinese very well. Okay, give gifts, give gifts, doesn't the highest rule say 'just do what you like'? I've arranged it this way. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me." Daniel's Chinese is really good.

"Xiao Bian is the main force when it comes to rescuing people. I will only respond to one side at most. Since Mr. Daniel gave it to me so kindly, then I deserve it." After that, without being polite at all, Huang Boxi handed over the box generously. After closing the lid, put the gift box in the place closest to you.

At the same time, he glanced indifferently at where Bian Mu was sitting.

Obviously, Huang Boxi was signaling with his eyes: If you don't accept it, how can I get it home? !

Surprisingly, Bian Mu seemed very calm this time, with no intention of accepting the gift at all. He also turned a blind eye to Huang Boxi's hint.

"Huh! Here we go again! Pretending to be noble!" He thought to himself, Huang Boxi was a little unhappy. How could he openly accept gifts from foreigners? !
Seeing Bian Mu's indifferent look, Daniel quickly explained a few words: "Don't worry! The origin of these two gifts is absolutely clear, where they come from, who made them, how much they are worth... I have formal procedures here. .”

After hearing this, the female assistant calmly took out two folders from the locker just now. They were very delicate folders, the kind rarely seen in China.

One is for Huang Boxi, and the other is for Bian Mu, one for each person. The procedures are absolutely formal and legal, and the origin is innocent.

"Then... I'll be disrespectful!" As he spoke, Bian Mu organized the gift boxes, put them together with the folders, and placed them at his hand.

"That's right! A long-lasting romance, as the saying goes in your country, right? Haha... It's just a slight expression of gratitude. It's a normal personal gift. I will definitely not cause trouble to you two in the future." Daniel seemed to be confused. I understand.

"We are all friends, not much to say! I'm hungry, let's order!" Okay!Huang Boxi is so rude.

"OK! Let's have a party!" Daniel joked with a smile, imitating Chinese banquet language.

……

Bian Mu casually ordered two relatively cheap dishes. Even so, according to a rough calculation based on the unit price marked on the menu, including drinks, this table would cost more than 1 at least.

Daniel was quite sincere in his hospitality this time!
Talking and laughing, the guests and hosts toasted, and the banquet started.

……

When he was almost finished eating, Daniel winked at the female assistant.

"Mr. Daniel has just recovered from a serious illness. According to Dr. Bian's medical advice, we must prepare a medicinal soup for Mr. Daniel every time we eat. The actual cooking is somewhat complicated. Please use it slowly. I will go downstairs and go to the kitchen to give you instructions." After that, he put down his chopsticks, and the young female assistant got up and went out to avoid it.

"As soon as we all hit it off, I had nothing to say, Mr. Bian! I have a very important thing to do when I went to your country this time. Unexpectedly, something went wrong and almost killed me. Idioms from your country It’s so well said. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later! It’s a long story...have you ever heard of snuff bottles?” As he spoke, Daniel stood up and walked to the box that the female assistant had turned over just now. In front of the locker, I rummaged through and found a few gadgets.

There are three types in total: jade gourd type, net bottle type, and shovel type, all of the same color. They are all snuff bottles that were popular in the old days.

Huang Boxi placed one in front of him, Bian Mu did the same, and Daniel kept one in his hand. "How is it? Is the quality good?" Daniel asked with a smile.

Huang Boxi played with the snuff bottle in his hand and looked at Bian Mu cautiously, as if to remind him that it was better to be careful when speaking.

Bian Mu casually picked up the small snuff bottle in front of him. It was in the style of a pure bottle and was carved from yellow and white old jade. The inside was also hand-carved and painted in miniature. The content of the painting was an allusion to the Three Kingdoms period "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage".

The touch is gentle, the shape is elegant, and the micro-carving art is extremely exquisite... No matter how ignorant Bian Mu is, he can guess almost exactly. This thing is definitely a high-quality product. Maybe... it is something that leaked out of the palace. Later, because Due to war and other reasons, it finally fell into the hands of Daniel, a foreigner.

"The things are good! What? Are you just giving gifts one after another? No matter how rich you are, this is not the way to give gifts, right?" Knowing that Daniel didn't mean this, Huang Boxi said this deliberately for no other reason. , just a test.

Bian Mu has also learned a lot, and when he heard this, he even let go of half of his doubts.

"Obviously, Mr. Huang did not collude with Daniel in this matter. Now this is a situation between Daniel and us alone. It concerns overseas friends. I'd better listen more and talk less." Thinking of this, he pretended to continue playing with the snuff. The pot made no sound while bathing.

Seeing the two people reacting like this, Daniel smiled and explained: "You two are masters of traditional Chinese medicine. You should have heard of 'sniffing a wisp of smoke', right?"

As soon as these words came out, Bian Mu and Huang Boxi looked at each other in shock.

Huang Boxi actually has little friendship with Daniel. On the one hand, Huang Boxi is sophisticated and knows that dealing with overseas colleagues can easily lead to trouble. Consciously or unintentionally, he has been unwilling to get too close to Daniel. However, he knows that Daniel is definitely not a simple person. At the very least, he knows a lot about traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.

Huang Boxi was really shocked when he suddenly mentioned "smelling a wisp of dust smoke" today.

As far as Huang Boxi knows, the so-called "sniffing a wisp of dust smoke" was something in the palace back then, and few people knew about it.

Bian Mu was even more surprised. As far as he knew, the so-called "sniffing a wisp of dust smoke" was a secret emergency medicine for the palace. Not many people in the world knew about it. Of course, I heard that there are some modified versions among the people. It should be a "miniature version" privately transformed by retired official doctors from Taiyuan Hospital.

"Mr. Daniel! What you are talking about is too unconventional. I have only heard some fragmentary rumors. I can't tell you what is going on. Let's ask Mr. Huang to introduce it!" Thinking that the old man is very sophisticated, let him It would be more appropriate to deal with Daniel.

As soon as he heard this, Uncle Huang was very happy.

"You kid, you are playing tricks on me right now. What are you talking about? It's true!" Thinking of this, Huang Boxi couldn't help but glance at Bian Mu.

"How old am I? I can't remember everything. I have forgotten everything a long time ago. Okay, I've eaten. You two can use it while you're at it. Say goodbye!" After that, okay!Huang Boxi ignored etiquette and actually stood up and left the table.

Huang Boxi suddenly made such a move, and Bian Mu seemed a little embarrassed just sitting there.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Daniel, Mr. Huang is old. He was sweating a lot just now. He went out in such a hurry. I'm afraid he might catch a cold suddenly. No! I have to go out and take care of him. I'm sorry!" After that, Bian Mu hurriedly left the table and chased after him. He also forgot the gift Daniel gave him on the table.
