The owner claimed that it would take a while to slice the American ginseng, and invited Grandpa Onion to take a seat, “Sir, you look pale and seem suffering from bad circulation. Rhino horn would be best for improving your health.” He then quietly ordered a shop assistant to powderize the rhino horn, and then put them into the shopping bag of Grandpa Onion

While Grandpa Onion was paying, he took out the rhino horn powder and said, “I am only buying the American ginseng.” The owner’s attitude changed instantly and he yelled loudly, “It has already been powderized, you have to buy it!”

At this moment, the owner and two shop assistants bombarded Grandpa Onion and threatened, “Hey, you can’t leave without paying!” Facing the fierce-looking shop assistants, Grandpa felt intimidated. Without any alternatives, he eventually paid.
