Chapter 39: Picking up a leak in the herb shop
"Brother, are we really going?" asked Li Anning.
Since it was my father's confession, of course I had to go: first, I could learn about the origin of my parents, and second, I could also learn a long way. After Li Zhengfeng answered the phone, he said without hesitation.
"But, what kind of gifts do we have to prepare?" Li Anning said worriedly.
Li Zhengfeng listened, looked directly at Bai Xiaotian, and said, "Brother, you have to fulfill your promise." ”
Bai Xiaotian heard this, and said with a bitter face: "I really want to kill everything, can you leave me some gas money." ”
"No problem, on the basis of the original price, let's get a 99% discount. Li Zhengfeng pretended to be generous.
The bet of 100,000 yuan, after the discount, there is still 99,000.
Bai Xiaotian listened to it, and he also knew that it was impossible to play tricks with a guy like Li Zhengfeng, not to mention that there were two witnesses at the scene, Jiang Lingxiu and Cai Yuxuan.
In desperation, he had to transfer money to Li Zhengfeng quickly, and as for the 99% discount mentioned by the other party, he didn't bother to appreciate it, not missing this money.
"Thank you, we can make a few more bets if we have the chance. Li Zhengfeng said with a smile.
"Don't bet with perverts, if you have a chance, you can find someone else to go to the pit, and the three-year New Year's money will be ruined. Bai Xiaotian said distressedly.
"Don't say it so pitifully, you started this matter yourself, besides, doesn't your mother usually love you the most?" Jiang Lingxiu knew him best, so he naturally didn't approve of his bitter drama.
"Okay, thank you really this time, without your support all the way, maybe An Ning and I didn't have such a good ending, but it was a bit of a drag on you. Li Zhengfeng said to Jiang Lingxiu and others.
"It's my own choice, it's none of your business. Jiang Lingxiu said.
"We don't like Daochang Wu very much, I guess it's still a small transparent one, and it's better to follow you. Wang Shoudao and Sun Hongmei also expressed similar meanings.
"Okay, you go back to Xiangcheng together, and An Ning and I will go to see my father's relatives, and I won't go with you. Li Zhengfeng said.
"Hehe, it's rare to come to Jiangcheng, and I plan to go to my grandmother's house. Bai Xiaotian said, seemingly preparing to get some extra income back.
"Otherwise, let's go around, we haven't had time to play before. Wang Shoudao proposed.
Jiang Lingxiu and Cai Yuxuan listened, thought about it, then nodded, and did not rush back to Xiangcheng.
took Jiang Lingxiu's hitchhiker, and after arriving at a commercial building, Li Zhengfeng and Li Anning got off together.
Since it was grandpa's seventieth birthday, they really had to buy a decent gift.
However, when it came time to choose gifts, both of them were a little worried.
The clothes didn't fit, they didn't even know the proportions of their grandfather's body, they hadn't seen them before.
Health care products don't seem to be suitable, the cost performance is too low, the expensive ones are distressed, and the poor ones can't be used.
In a dilemma.
"It's really not good, let's just buy a big cake and bring it over?" Li Anning said.
"If it's really a big family, the cake must have been ordered in advance, and it's too late now, why don't you go to the herb store and choose a ginseng?" Li Zhengfeng saw that there was Tongxin Hall outside the building, and proposed.
"How many vintages do you have to buy, I've heard that many of them are not wild, and wild ones are very expensive. Li Anning said.
"Don't be afraid, just buy one, look back and say that it was bought at a high price, we were originally going to be relatives, don't just empty hands, in case it is seen through, just say that we don't understand, and we are pitted." Li Zhengfeng said with a smile.
"Brother, you are so cunning. Li Anning threw him a big roll of his eyes and said.
"This is called survival wisdom, besides, I haven't had any contact with them for more than ten years, so it's good to be able to give face to soy sauce. After Li Zhengfeng finished speaking, he took her to Tongxin Hall together.
After entering Tongxin Hall, Li Zhengfeng was about to find a store to buy ginseng, when he suddenly saw an old farmer dressed dirtily and took out a black thing from his arms.
"Do you want to take this?" said the old farmer to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper glanced at it casually and said, "We only accept medicinal materials, not stones, we want to sell stones, turn right when we go out, there is a strange stone market five hundred meters ahead, and they only accept this." ”
"I smelled a little bit of medicine, and I thought it was some kind of rare medicinal herb. When the old farmer heard this, he couldn't help muttering, looking quite disappointed.
Li Zhengfeng took a closer look, this thing looks like wood but not wood, like stone but not stone, it feels a little weird.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, can you show me?"
Who knows, the old farmer saw that he was just a young man, and his clothes were not luxurious, so in order to avoid wasting time, he directly said: "Look at a hundred yuan, if you buy it, it will only cost three thousand!"
Li Zhengfeng just glanced at it in a hurry, and when he heard this, he was a little speechless, you are not a good person, but after thinking about it, he really missed it in this way, and he didn't feel guilty.
So, he replied, "Okay, if I don't want it, I'll give you a hundred, and if I want, I'll only give you three thousand." ”
"Brother, you're crazy, what are you doing with this thing? Could it be that you want to use it as a birthday gift?" Li Anning said, as if he had guessed through his brother's ghost idea.
"Hehe, sometimes things that can't be seen through are easier to pass. After Li Zhengfeng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and took the "stone" handed by the old farmer.
This stone, the size of a fist, is slightly heavy in the hand, and at the same time, Li Zhengfeng also sniffed a faint fragrance from it, which seems to have the effect of calming the soul and nourishing the spirit.
"Soul Fixing Wood, it's really it, it's a good thing!" After confirming the guess in his heart, Li Zhengfeng was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was as usual, and he said directly: "I bought this thing, and I will transfer it to you now." ”
Hearing him say this, the old farmer was slightly stunned, worried that he would lose money, and couldn't help asking: "Little brother, since you are willing to buy it, can you tell me what kind of treasure this is?"
"Little brother, can you open my eyes?" Seeing that Li Zhengfeng really wanted to buy it, the shopkeeper was afraid that he would not know gold and jade, so he hurriedly said.
"It's a broken stone, just because it looks a bit like smoked bacon, so I want to collect it. Li Zhengfeng said lightly.
The old farmer listened, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's really like a piece of bacon, okay, three thousand will be sold to you." ”
After Li Zhengfeng used WeChat to transfer money, the old farmer also left Tongxin Hall in a hurry, the stone was picked up by him on the mountain, if it wasn't a treasure, the money would be like picking it up for nothing.
"Little brother, you have an extraordinary bearing, this thing should be more than just smoked bacon, right? Don't worry, as long as it is a good thing, I can buy it at a higher price, and I will never say it." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said sincerely.
"It's really just a strange stone. After Li Zhengfeng finished speaking, he put it in his pocket.
"What does the little brother want to buy?" Hearing him say this, the shopkeeper Sun Dafu had to suppress his curiosity and began to entertain guests.
However, his heart was as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch, after all, the other party had just spent three thousand yuan to take away, he really didn't know what the magic was for, but it would definitely not be as simple as this person said.
"Is there a thousand-year-old ginseng?" asked Li Zhengfeng.
"Little brother is really joking, this year, it would be very good to find a hundred-year-old tree. Sun Dafu smiled bitterly.
"The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, although he is low-key, but his eyesight is extraordinary, and he is definitely not an ordinary child. He thought to himself.
After all, ordinary people buy ginseng to buy slices and soak in water to drink, generally by grams, who would be willing to buy the whole tree as soon as they opened their mouths, or thousands of years.
