Speaking of Guangzhou, it seems that everyone's purpose is to eat. However, a poor guy like me always wants to find a place to play after dinner, only to feel that he has made money (of course, flying to Guangzhou to eat a few)
The sky is definitely not lost.

Last time I wrote this street, I saved thousands of air tickets, experienced two trips at a time, and brought a special product from my hometown in northwest China, which made me feel like catching wool in Guangzhou.
Bao Han Street, Guangzhou
This time, I discovered a "secret base" of Laoguang people-Qingping Chinese herbal medicine professional market. Just listening to this name seems bland and meaningless.
However, once you change your mind, don't treat it as a Chinese herbal medicine market, but treat it as a 4D version of Compendium of Materia Medica +COSTCO, which is the ingredient of soup. Just go and have a look.
First of all, I will give you a simple science popularization about clearing the professional market of Chinese herbal medicines. Careful friends must have noticed the word "professional" in this market name. There are only 17 approved Chinese herbal medicine professional markets in China, and Qingping Chinese herbal medicine professional market is one of them.
You may not believe it, it is said that the annual turnover of this market is close to 2 billion yuan, accounting for 25% of the domestic turnover of Chinese herbal medicines. If you stroll around the big brothers and sisters who just passed by, they may all be worth eight figures.
It is no wonder that the old Xiguan in Guangzhou has been circulating the saying that "one paved, one paved without worry". "Qingping" here refers to the Qingping market.
Guangdong's annual consumption of medicinal materials ranks first in the country, and I think at least half of it falls into soup. After all, Qingping Chinese herbal medicine market is the only Chinese herbal medicine market built in the city center. This kind of thing is really only reasonable in Guangzhou, which loves soup!
With so much preparation, let's walk into this magical market that can multiply your knowledge (soup quantity)!
In fact, each market has its own flavor, but at present, only Qingping Chinese herbal medicine market can pickle me. When you get out of the subway, you can safely turn off the navigation and find it with a strong smell of Chinese medicine. Years of road delusion suddenly cured!
The market consists of "four cities, one street and one center", commonly known as "five cities and one street", namely, G market No.246, H market No.336, Liming market, market east of Qingping, market street and market medicine center.
In fact, I mainly visited the H field at No.336, 623 Road, and the first and second floors were all selling Chinese herbal medicines. It sounds like there are only two floors, but just one floor, I spent half an hour shopping around the shops along the street, not to mention all kinds of intertwined street shops.
When you swim in this ocean of knowledge, you will find that you not only basically don't know Chinese herbal medicine, but even if you mark it, you may not be able to understand it. You step into your own knowledge blind spot every step.
How much will you read in the quiz without bonus?
It is rare to know a few things, and the result is so complicated that I began to wonder if I really knew it. The apricot in front of us is not apricot, but "small apricot in the southeast and northwest". The ginseng in front of us is not ginseng, but "American ginseng".
But the neat arrangement of this family still made me feel comfortable for a while.
In primary school, the more plastic strips on the captain's sleeve, the more arrogant he became. In Qingping Qingping Chinese herbal medicine market, there is also such a straightforward status symbol, that is Ganoderma lucidum! If you walk around, you will find that every few stores, you can see several unremarkable giant ganoderma lucidum stalls hanging next to the signboard, one by one.
In this scene, Captain America comes and can't help but want to change the shield.
Is there no PS trace!
From the beginning, I squatted down to take a photo of Ganoderma lucidum the size of a MacBook. Later, I saw that Ganoderma lucidum, which was bigger than the pot cover, was only a symbolic gesture. Perhaps this is the indifference after rich life experience!
The first big ganoderma lucidum shot when I was young and ignorant.
Once you have been shopping for a long time, you will feel some emotional voices. For example, seeing this bag full of green honeysuckle reminds me of my disappointing fund.
I am wiping my tears.
)
.
Another example is this pile of ganoderma lucidum that you once thought was valuable. The results were all piled up in bags and thrown to the public. Is it like finally admitting that you are actually an ordinary person when you grow up?
(there are words that are forced to get together and sensational.
)
.
Another example is the full-screen aphrodisiac on the market, which directly reveals what ordinary but confident men are most afraid of.
Just kidding, I'm sitting in the wrong position.

After walking around the market for several times, the boss who has been doing business for decades knows that a poor boy like me is definitely not sincere in buying things and basically doesn't want to say hello to me.
Huo! I really want to buy some for them.
Since I want to buy it, I can't afford to buy Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng and bird's nest ... At first glance, it is very expensive. After a big turn, I finally locked the lily that looked less expensive.
With the rich experience that was neglected before, I fully learned the lesson this time. As soon as I stepped into the store, I quickly threw out my purchase intention. "How much is this catty?" I want a kilo. " The proprietress was so kind that she immediately answered me "forty dollars".
I thought forty would be enough, and I made a secret recipe for making soup and made a fortune. I tentatively asked what to do with this lily, and as a result, the proprietress told me a lot enthusiastically. Unfortunately, my Cantonese listening is really poor. After listening for a long time, I only wrote down one thing. Angel nine yuan selfless sharing: lily+lotus seeds+quail eggs should be cooked for more than 20 minutes, and then cooked with rock sugar. The boss said that quail eggs should not be shelled when cooking soup. I really don't understand why. Does anyone understand? )。
When I was shopping with a small bag of lilies in my hand, I obviously felt that there were more voices calling me "pretty girl ~" on the road. But let me go to a shop that specializes in selling ginseng antler and ask for the price, but my heart is still weak. Whoops, I'm afraid the word poor has been engraved into my DNA.
A store that you can't afford at first sight!
Although I dare not ask, I dare to shoot. I took several clearly marked ones, so you can compare the prices you usually buy. It is said that the price and quality gap between stores is quite large. If you are visiting, you must take the Double Eleven seriously and shop around.
Adhering to the principle of "everyone is here", how can you buy a catty of dried lily and leave? Wandering around, a very kind "pretty girl" came to my ear. It was an old woman who greeted me. Everything in the shop didn't look expensive. Very good! It completely meets my needs.
When I walked into the store, I glanced at this bag, which was "super nice". Actually, it's wrapped in dried figs. I'm hesitant about this thing, and I'm sure the calories and sweetness are out of the standard. As a result, my grandmother said, "This is to eliminate phlegm and dampness", so I made a decisive move.
According to my experience of visiting the market, once I decide what to buy in the store, I can take my time and chat with the store. So I started a hundred thousand whys, "What is this", "What's the function of this" and "How to eat this".
Grandma is very kind and always answers me patiently. She even turned out her mobile phone to show me the note her daughter sent her. The whole process made me feel like I was in the live broadcast room of "Old Victoria". I not only paid the money, but also thanked her with a smile.
This is called fine grain grass, and grandma says it is matched with chrysanthemum to clear away heat and reduce fire.
The immersive live experience finally ended when I asked my grandmother, "What is this golden dog?". Grandma smiled and told me, "This is for strengthening yang and tonifying kidney." At that moment, my mother's famous saying "where do children get so many problems" suddenly sounded in my mind. Jay Chou is not the kui is a n experienced person, and has told us "listen to your mother" for a long time.
Before I left, I took a big bag of herbs and added my grandmother's WeChat. I thought I would give my grandmother a gold medal sales nameplate next time, but I was also vaguely worried that I would be cheated into buying a bunch of health care products when I was old.
In order to cook these herbs, I also spent 169 yuan to buy a health pot. I thought I lost blood if I didn't drink it dozens of times.
There is also a Guangzhou Zhengtian dried fruit wholesale market nearby from H field of Qingping Chinese herbal medicine. But I don't know if I opened it the wrong way. Actually, I didn't see a few dried fruits there, but I saw a lot of scented tea.
After shopping for so long, it's rare to meet something that can recognize both looks and words, and it's kind at once. Although I couldn't help it, I bought some.
I feel that this piece may be more suitable for people like me who know nothing. After all, I have drunk scented tea. Don't miss it when you come.
At the end of the day, my burden is so heavy that I can't walk around. At the subway entrance back to the hotel, I also met an old man who had just finished shopping and sat on the steps to rest. I wonder how much it costs for such a big bag of ganoderma lucidum.
I always think that going to a city is the right way to start a trip, instead of punching in the online celebrity restaurant and visiting the special market of the local old school ~
If your destination is Guangzhou, I really suggest you visit this market. After all, you can learn Chinese herbal medicine and read books. If you are lucky, you can also learn the secret of Bai Piao soup. The point is that the whole journey is free ~ I'll tell you such a good thing.
