Chapter 30 A Hundred Years of Ginseng
"Master, hello, I see that you collect herbs here, and I also went up the mountain to dig up some herbs, how much do you think you can collect?"
As soon as the old man came in, he put the dirty basket on the ground, and the whole person was out of breath.
When the pharmacy owner saw such a scene, his eyes were full of disgust, but the bad guy was also a door-to-door customer, so he didn't say much, so he ordered a guy to come forward and take a look.
After the pharmacy guy stepped forward to take a look, he said with a disgusted face: "Where are you herbs, it's just a bunch of weeds." ”
Saying that, the pharmacy guy was disgusted and wanted to leave, but the old man hurriedly said: "Young man, I don't know how to use herbs, you help me pick and choose, maybe there are herbs you want?"
"Brother, we have so many guests to take care of, how can we have time to pick herbs in your back basket," the pharmacy owner finished loading Jiang Cheng's medicine and stepped forward to say to the old man.
Although the pharmacy owner's attitude was okay, his eyes were full of contempt, such an old man didn't understand anything, and he could find something good, so he just wanted to send the old man away quickly.
"Master, you can take a look, I'm in a hurry to change money for my wife's medical treatment," the old man said a little anxiously.
Originally, the old man didn't know about herbal medicine, but he heard that this herb was valuable, and if he was lucky, he could exchange it for a lot of money, so he went up the mountain to dig a bunch, and if he couldn't sell it for money, he would be busy in vain.
"Xiaofeng, send off customers," the pharmacy owner didn't bother to say more to the old man, and directly issued an eviction order.
Just when the old man was embarrassed, Jiang Cheng said directly to the boss: "Boss, why don't I help him take a look, if there is a suitable herb, you just take it, and he will also sell it for money, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
"Whatever you want, you can watch it if you want, I won't take it anyway," the pharmacy owner said with disdain.
How could such an old man who didn't understand anything have any good herbs.
Jiang Cheng didn't care, he walked directly to the old man's side and said, "Old man, can I help you take a look?"
"All right," said the old man.
Jiang Cheng immediately turned over the back basket, but there were really nothing good in it, most of them were some weeds with very low medicinal properties.
Just when Jiang Cheng thought that there was nothing, he suddenly felt a black medicinal herb from the bottom.
"This ...... This is?"
Jiang Cheng was surprised for a while, although this medicinal herb was covered with a lot of silt, the aura emitted from it would not be fake, this was definitely a good ginseng.
"Young man, do you see if this is ginseng?" The old man looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Can you sell it for a good price?"
"Bullshit ginseng is just a wild radish in the mountains," the pharmacy clerk said with a sneer.
After all, their pharmacy often buys medicinal herbs, and many people who don't know how to do it sell the wild radishes in the mountains as ginseng, which is so stupid.
The pharmacy owner glanced at it and shook his head helplessly, but in the next second, they were shocked by Jiang Cheng's words.
"Old man, how about selling me this 30,000 yuan?" Jiang Cheng said lightly.
"What...... What?30,000?" the old man was surprised and didn't seem to hear clearly, so he hurriedly asked.
Jiang Cheng nodded, and the old man immediately nodded ecstatically and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Jiang Cheng immediately took out the card and handed it to Jiang Lai on the side, and said, "Jiang Lai, you take the old man to withdraw 30,000 yuan, and the password is your birthday." ”
Jiang Lai took the card in Jiang Cheng's hand with some doubts, and took the old man out to withdraw the money.
"In this world, I thought that people who sold wild radishes as ginseng were stupid enough, but I didn't expect that there would be even more stupid people who would buy them, and they didn't even have ginseng, how could it be ginseng!"
"That's it, 30,000 yuan to buy a wild radish, I knew that I also went up the mountain to dig radish!"
The pharmacy owner and his buddies, seeing Jiang Cheng like this, showed their caring eyes as fools, and sang and said in harmony.
Jiang Cheng ignored the taunts of the shopkeeper and clerk, but went to the faucet on the side and washed the ginseng, and when the soil was washed away, Jiang Cheng's eyes showed a more happy expression again.
"It's really not ginseng," Mr. Jiang said.
"Nonsense, I didn't tell you it was a wild radish," the clerk mocked.
"This is a ginseng, and it's a hundred-year-old ginseng!" Jiang Cheng continued.
Jiang Cheng originally thought it was just a top-grade ginseng, but he didn't expect it to be a century-old ginseng with better color.
Originally, the ginseng whiskers of this ginseng were wrapped in mud, so they were not exposed before, but now they are washed and cleaned, revealing the true face of the ginseng.
The pharmacy owner was about to taunt Jiang Cheng, but he was stunned for a moment, he looked at Jiang Cheng with a shocked face, and he hurriedly walked over.
"This is really a scrop, and judging by this color, it will definitely be more than a hundred years, maybe even two hundred years," the pharmacy owner was surprised.
And the original pharmacy clerk was even more surprised, it turned out to be a better ginseng than ginseng, and it is still two hundred years old?
You must know that in the past, there was a less than 100-year-old ginseng that was sold at the auction for hundreds of thousands, and if it was a 200-year-old ginseng, the price would definitely be higher.
However, it was such a high-grade medicinal herb that Jiang Cheng bought it for only 30,000 yuan.
The pharmacy owner suddenly regretted his intestines, such a precious ginseng, not to mention spending 30,000 yuan, even if it is 100,000 yuan, it is worth it.
And the old man just now obviously didn't understand anything, it was estimated that the basket of messy things just now could have been bought for a few hundred or thousand, but because of his arrogance, he looked down on the old man and lost such a good opportunity.
"Damn, I knew I would buy it for a little money," the pharmacy owner regretted in his heart,
The pharmacy owner hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Little brother, I don't know if this ginseng is interested in transferring? ”
The pharmacy owner knows the value of such a scrop, and if he takes it to the auction house for auction, the value will increase several times.
Jiang Cheng put away the ginseng and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I'll keep this ginseng for use." ”
Jiang Cheng is not short of money now, and this ginseng can just be used by Xu Qing, of course he will not transfer it.
The boss of the prescription was stunned, his face was ugly for a while, he had mocked Jiang Cheng for not understanding medicinal materials, but now he found that it was a good ginseng and licked his face to buy it, and Jiang Cheng didn't look down on such a boss.
"Brother, I'm back," Jiang Lai ran in from outside.
"Where's the old man?" Jiang Cheng asked.
He originally thought it was a ginseng, so he gave the old man 30,000 yuan, and if he knew that it was a ginseng of such a good quality, he would definitely have to give some more money.
"He, probably because he was afraid that you would regret it, so he took the money and ran away, the speed is faster than Bolt," Jiang Lai said with a smile.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he was also helpless for a while, he originally wanted to make up some of the difference for the old man, but he didn't expect the old man to run away first, and he didn't even want the previous basket.
It is estimated that the old man also thought that Jiang Cheng was a fool, obviously it was a random digging of medicinal herbs, and someone actually spent 30,000 yuan to buy it, so he was worried that Jiang Cheng would regret it and not give him money again.
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”
Jiang Cheng took the wrapped medicine and left here with Jiang Lai.
"Boss, that kid is so lucky, he found such a good ginseng in such a basket of garbage," the pharmacy clerk said with some jealousy.
"It's okay, no one can take the ginseng from our store so easily," a cold glint flashed in the pharmacy owner's eyes.
You must know that such a valuable ginseng, if it can be auctioned off, it can be worth the income of this pharmacy for several years, how can he let it go so easily.
Jiang Cheng didn't rush Jiang Lai back, anyway, the two of them hadn't had dinner yet, so they had something to eat first.
"Brother, how do you know my birthday?" Jiang Lai asked as he looked at Jiang Cheng while eating Malatang.
Jiang Lai didn't tell Jiang Cheng about her birthday, but Jiang Cheng actually set her birthday as a bank card password.
Originally, she wanted to ask before, but Jiang Cheng still had something, so she didn't ask.
"Actually...... ," Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Lai and smiled.
"You won't say that my brother told you again, right?" Jiang Lai frowned and looked at Jiang Cheng.
"Yes, you've become smarter, you know all this," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Jiang Lai pursed her mouth, she didn't believe that her brother would casually tell her birthday, but she didn't want to pursue it so much, anyway, now this Jiang Cheng is also her brother.
Jiang Lai said with a smile: "By the way, brother, I suddenly remembered, why didn't you bring my sister-in-law to see me today?"
"Your sister-in-law?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Don't pretend to be garlic, I heard you call at noon, my sister-in-law is talking next to me," Jiang Lai said: "Are you afraid that my sister-in-law will think too much when she sees me, it's okay, I will make it clear to her, I will treat you as a brother." ”
In fact, a long time ago, Jiang Lai hoped that his brother could find a girlfriend, but he didn't expect him to die before he could find a girlfriend, so Jiang Lai now wants to see what kind of sister-in-law his brother is looking for, and it can be regarded as satisfying her original wish.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take her to meet you," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Jiang Lai nodded, bowed his head to eat again, and after the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, Jiang Chengcheng planned to send Jiang Lai home.
Just as Jiang Cheng was walking on a remote path with Jiang Lai, suddenly a group of people rushed over from the shadows.
"Boy, hand over all the valuable things on your body," the man at the head of the group carried a knife and looked at Jiang Cheng coldly and said.
