Preface
The countryside is full of people, lively and extraordinary, and all kinds of commodities are available.
But there are many people who don't know that there are several kinds of goods in the market that are basically "fakes".
If you come across it while visiting the market, you must be aware that there will be no pie in the sky.
A miracle medicine that can cure various diseases
"Miracle cure" runs rampant in the streets and alleys.
When visiting the market, we can often hear people shouting:
"Specializing in the treatment of backache, not good without money, ancestral secret recipes, medicine to get rid of the disease. ”
"Diseases such as lower back and leg pain, arm pain, arthritis, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, etc., can be cured with my medicine."
This is a promise made by the vendor to the aunt and uncle who are ready to buy medicine.
But is this really that magical? Is it a real drug? Or is it a poison?
We usually see all kinds of medicinal herbs on the stalls, as well as finished medicines prepared in advance by vendors, whether it is ancestral plasters or secret medicinal wines, which can react in a few minutes, making you feel that this is a "miracle medicine".
What's more, the price of these drugs is particularly cheap, which saves time, effort and money than going to the hospital to find a doctor to diagnose and see a doctor, so it attracts many people to watch and use.
Many people who have been staying in the countryside lack pharmacological knowledge, and they are very reluctant to spend money, they feel that a little physical problem, a little pain, is not suitable to go to the hospital "extravagance and waste", so there is a fluke mentality.
But does this drug, which has no guarantees, really work?
The answer is no, these fake drugs not only fail to treat the disease, but can also cause serious side effects on the body.
You can't imagine how unscrupulous these drug dealers are in order to make money.
The miraculous capsule that once made millions of profits, their pharmaceutical ingredients are creepy, and expired painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs are collected through various channels, ground and mixed with cornmeal to make capsules, do you say this can be eaten as medicine?
There are also medicinal liquors with "ancestral secret recipes" that we can often see, many of which are made of ordinary liquor with soy sauce and a little common herbs.
All kinds of "miracle doctors" also grasp the psychology of rushing to the doctor when we are sick, and successfully deliver these "miracle medicines" prepared at ultra-low cost and indiscriminately to the patients, but this not only loses money, but also may aggravate your condition.
Moreover, these drug dealers have no fixed point of sale, and appear in various township markets in turn, although the medicine has no effect or eats faulty, but the buyers can only "break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs".
Therefore, when we see this kind of medicine selling when we visit the market in the future, we must not be lucky, and resolutely put an end to this kind of fake and shoddy products.
A belt that is more cow than cowhide
"A belt that is more cowhide than cowhide, cut and sold now......"
In the bustling market, you can always hear the shouting of vendors holding bullhorns.
Those vendors will tell you seriously, I am a belt sold directly in the regular factory, strong and cheap, pass by, don't miss it.
Especially in rural markets, it is easy to suspect that this is genuine when a belt is cut from a complete "cowhide" and made on the spot, and it is only sold for 10-20 yuan.
Since it is not genuine, why do the vendors dare to say that it is a "cow belt"?
On the one hand, the raw material of the production is indeed made of cowhide, which is just the broken cowhide of the buffalo with the worst leather, and then pressed with fur and other materials.
On the other hand, it is a propaganda gimmick, regardless of whether he is genuine leather or fake leather, the person who buys it is unprofessional, and naturally no one can distinguish the real from the fake.
Small traders will also demonstrate the toughness of the belt in the sale, two people pull and beat each other, naturally attract a group of people to watch, as long as one of the people take the lead in buying, the others will be ready to move, follow the trend of consumption.
However, this kind of cheap belt, which is usually used for a little longer, will cause a lot of problems, and will have a serious fishy smell, surface peeling or breakage.
However, the real cow leather belts in the specialty store are made of fine yak leather or yellow cowhide, and they have to go through at least 10 processes to make them not only strong, but also soft and smooth on the surface.
Although it is not a real cowhide belt, it is a good choice for farmers who often do manual work, as long as it is strong and durable, and the price is cheap.
So, there is a reason for existence.
What do you think of this "belt that is more cow than cowhide"?
Cosmetics and skincare products at low prices
Cheap cosmetics in rural bazaars are often branded as "big-name clearances", tempting girls to buy them.
The cosmetics on the stalls are dazzling, and the most important thing is that they are inexpensive.
For women who love beauty, it is easy to be attracted when they see cosmetics, but the prices of cosmetics at the counter are very high, and not everyone can consume them at will, so low-priced cosmetics in the market are very popular.
The vendor will tell us that it is a product that the store has closed down and the merchant sells it directly, to dispel your doubts about the price, not that there is anything wrong with the product.
The clever rhetoric of the vendor and the exquisite packaging of the product make it easy for young girls to be fooled and convince themselves that this is the real thing and happily buy it home.
But are these low-priced cosmetics really what the boss said?
Of course not, these cheap cosmetics are often "three-no products", the quality is not guaranteed, and the safety of use is questionable.
Excessive amounts of lead and mercury have been reported in this counterfeit cosmetic product, which can cause skin diseases, nephrotic syndrome and, in severe cases, disfigurement, with long-term use.
Therefore, we can't have the psychology of picking up cheap to consume, and we must not do this thing of "stealing chickens does not make rice", cheap and no good goods.
Freshly squeezed sesame oil
In the bazaar, we can often smell the strong smell of sesame oil, and the slogan we hear is:
"Freshly squeezed sesame oil, freshly squeezed and sold, ten yuan a bottle."
Sesame oil has always been an "evergreen" in the market, and it is also an indispensable flavoring agent for our family life, which is favored by the majority of consumers.
But nowadays, there are not many people who can eat real sesame oil, even if you watch it live, the oil that comes out of pouring sesame seeds into the machine may be fake sesame oil.
We can often see small workshops or trucks carrying oil extraction equipment in the bazaar, holding banners and holding signs that read "Freshly squeezed, freshly sold sesame oil" to attract passers-by.
Everyone is defenseless against the way the merchant makes it on site, watching the sesame oil flow into the bottle, it feels really safe and reliable, but is it really reliable?
In fact, sometimes "seeing is not necessarily believing", and there are still a lot of freshly squeezed sesame oil on the street.
The temperature of sesame oil in the freshly pressed sesame oil in the regular factory will be kept at about 40 degrees, and there should also be sesame oil residue.
However, the freshly ground sesame oil in the market is basically cold, and there is no oil residue on the oil press on the spot, which does not look like freshly squeezed sesame oil at all.
So, the question is, where does the freshly ground sesame oil we buy on the street come from?
In fact, most of the oil presses on the street have unknown "tricks", the machines are simply running, and when the time comes, the oil they have prepared in advance will flow out.
Most of the sesame oil freshly ground on the street is heated by the vendors, and then poured into the sesame sesame essence according to the proportion, which is not only similar in color, but also rich in fragrance.
In this way, the 10 yuan bottle of freshly squeezed sesame oil is freshly baked, and its cost price is very low, so the price is much cheaper than other Zhenggui stores.
We can also think about it from the side, the normal price of a pound of sesame is 8.5 yuan, and the oil yield is up to 48%, so a pound of sesame oil costs 25 yuan a pound to make a profit.
So, is the sesame oil you eat safe? Is there a quality problem?
This kind of "fake sesame oil" blended by the vendors will have harmful substances such as sesame oil essence and pigments, coupled with the production and processing environment, there are many problems, and it does not meet the national quality assurance standards, and there is no safety guarantee for long-term consumption.
In CCTV's "Focus Interview" column, it was exposed that the black-hearted "soil-squeezed peanut oil" workshop sold adulterated black-hearted peanut oil containing carcinogens and high toxicity.
In general, we must not only resolutely say no to this "fake sesame oil", but also take responsibility for our own physical health.
What other fakes do you know at the rural bazaar, welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
