recently, blogger "secret agent 007" released a series of videos on social media platforms titled "grinding chinese herbs into powder, 'civet cat' replaces 'prince'". the videos show that the blogger bought chinese herbs at the harmonious century farmers' market in wuhua district, kunming city, and asked the vendor to grind them into powder. unexpectedly, the blogger discovered that the vendor suspected of using a "secret passage" to secretly replace the chinese herbs with fake powder.

the blogger said that he bought chinese medicine in the store and asked the store to grind it into powder. when grinding, he noticed that the sound of the powder was abnormal, the speed was very fast, and the powder was not as warm as it should be, which felt very strange. later, with the police as witness, the blogger checked the grinder in the store and found that there was no blade in the grinder in the store, and there was even a "secret passage" next to the machine that led directly to the small room next door.

the video shows that the sanitation in the small room is very poor, with electronic scales, vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens and various unknown powders piled up inside. the blogger suspected that the merchant was "changing the prince for the cat", replacing the customer's "real medicinal materials" with "fake powder".

after the market regulators arrived, the blogger demonstrated on the spot that the powder grinder was a "decoration". in the video, after the blogger threw the chinese herbal medicine into the grinder, the herbal medicine fell intact into a basin in a small room without being ground at all.

on the morning of september 7, jingshi live contacted the blogger "secret agent 007". the blogger told reporters that he had seen a similar "chinese medicine powdering" scam on social media platforms before, so he bought more than 1,000 yuan worth of chinese medicinal materials in the store and asked the vendor to grind them into powder. sure enough, he found something fishy. "when the raw materials were put into the machine, the grinding sound was abnormal." in order to confirm his guess, the blogger went to other stores to buy some chinese medicinal materials and found that the grinding sound and time were completely different from this store. "i also consulted another store, and they said that this store might be counterfeiting, so i went to expose it."

"chinese herbal medicines are related to everyone's health. i hope that exposing them can help more people avoid being deceived."
