Man Buys Black Lump for 20 Yuan, Refuses to Sell for 500 Yuan, Reveals the Reason Why

Brother Xiong spent 20 yuan on a black lump. After seeing it, I wanted to buy it for 500 yuan, but he said, "No deal!"

Brother Xiong works at the same company as me. Well, just last week, he went back to his rural hometown and brought back a black lump. He said he had spent 20 yuan to buy it from a shepherd in their village.

I saw him take this black lump out in the morning and put it on the balcony to sunbathe, and he watered it from time to time. What strange thing is this? So, during my break, I deliberately went to his house to take a look and see exactly what this thing was. From the back, it looked like an unremarkable black lump, but when I turned it over, I was a bit stunned.

So that's what it was. In our city, finding a wild one of these is quite difficult. It turned out this thing was Dendrobium officinale (Tiepi Shihu). Because it had been jostled in the car for a long time, he gently tied it to the black wooden lump with aluminum wire, and it was also covered with green moss.

Those familiar with this thing all know that Tiepi Shihu, also known as Heijiecao or Yunnan Tiepi, belongs to the subtribe Dendrobiinae, a perennial epiphytic herbaceous plant in the orchid family. Its stems are erect and cylindrical. Its stems are used as medicine and belong to the yin-nourishing category of tonic medicines; they benefit the stomach and promote fluid production, nourish yin and clear heat. They have the effects of promoting fluid production, lowering blood sugar, and enhancing the body's immunity.

Seeing this kind of thing, I thought to myself that he had only spent 20 yuan to buy it. I also assumed he did not know the trade, so I tried offering him 500 yuan to buy it, but he kept shaking his head. He said, "No deal!" At that moment, I realized he was also an expert. In fact, when you come across something like this, it is a treasure to those who know its value, and just grass to those who do not. What do you think of what I just said? In a situation like this, for something like the item in the picture, how many RMB do you think it would take to make it your own? I hope those of you who know the trade can give some advice.
