Chapter 42: The Thousand-Year Ginseng King

When he came to the hotel, Shen Lang took the initiative to open another room on the fifth floor where Li Ruoxi lived, because the rooms of those people in the hospital were booked in advance, and the room numbers were connected, and the room opened by Shen Lang could not be next to Li Ruoxi.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Ruoxi and his entourage went to the academic exchange venue to hold a seminar.

Shen Lang, who had nothing to do, walked out of the hotel and walked around.

At the same time, in a towering building, Chen Tianyu and a handsome young man wearing a headband are drinking red wine while admiring the photos that have been secretly taken.

"Cousin, Li Ruoxi's best friend has a really good temperament, and her figure is even hotter, didn't she come with her this time?"

"This girl didn't come this time! If you have a crush on this chick, after helping your cousin do this thing this time, we will plan to do Li Ruoxi's best friend!" Chen Tianyu said.

"Well, when the time comes, my cousin must do his best to help me! Li Ruoxi, this best friend, is really the best of the best, I like it very much. Su Xing said with a smile.

"That's for sure. You've arranged everything at the hotel, right?" asked Chen Tianyu Zhengse.

"Don't worry, that hotel is a subsidiary of our Su family, on my territory, even if Li Ruoxi has great ability, he can't escape from the palm of our hands. Su Xing said confidently.

...

Shen Lang came to the long street outside the hotel, at this moment, it may be a weekday, and the huge long street looks a little deserted.

Jiangbin City, because of its special geographical location, there are seven or eight big rivers flowing down from the mountains in the distance, directly running through the city center, adding countless scenery to Jiangbin City.

Shen Lang walked on the long street for a while, and saw several Chinese medicine shops, but he didn't expect Chinese medicine to be very popular here.

Moreover, on the streets on both sides of the long street, there are many medicine farmers who are selling various herbs.

To Shen Lang's surprise, he found that there were two or three Jianghu Langzhong dressed as Taoist priests setting up stalls, looking like fairy wind and bones.

Shen Lang walked while looking at the herbs placed by the medicine farmer. There are Atractylodes, Skullcap, Bupleurum chinensis, Polygonum multiflori, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis and so on.

When Shen Lang walked to the stone bridge in front, the quarrel in front caught his attention.

Shen Lang walked over to the quarreling stall.

"Old man Liu, if you want to continue to set up a stall in front of our store, this ginseng must be sold to us at a low price of 1,000 yuan, otherwise you will immediately close the stall and get out of here!" A clerk wearing the clothes of the Imperial Medical Hall pointed to the old man in front of the stall and said angrily.

"Little brother, this ginseng of mine is a wild ginseng that I dug from the cliff on the mountain, and it can be sold for at least 50,000 yuan, and your price is inevitably low!" said the old man with a look of grievance.

"Shao Tee pretends to be pitiful in front of Lao Tzu. Your ginseng plant is obviously artificially cultivated, and giving you 1,000 yuan is considered a high price, if you want to continue to set up a stall in front of our door, then you must sell it to us at this price. Otherwise, hmph..."The clerk threatened with his hand in his trouser pocket.

"This ginseng of mine was really dug up by me from the mountains, and it was really not cultivated, if you look at this root, can it be cultivated like this?" the old man argued.

"What the hell, can wild ginseng grow so big? Who are you bluffing? What are we doing in the Imperial Medical Hall? Are you selling it or not? If you don't sell it, get out of here, I don't have time to talk to you here!" said the clerk a little impatiently.

"Old man, how much is your ginseng?" Shen Lang's eyes lit up the moment he saw that ginseng.

When the old man saw Shen Lang asking, he immediately said excitedly: "Young man, my wild ginseng is really dug up from the mountains. If you want, how about I sell you 10,000 or 40,000 yuan?"

"No, you might as well sell it to me at the original price of 50,000!" Shen Lang said calmly.

"Boy, what do you mean by that? Don't you see that Lao Tzu has already taken a fancy to this ginseng? Besides, are you burning money? This ginseng is cultivated at a glance, you have nothing wrong with your brain?" the clerk exclaimed unhappily.

"Fifty thousand, I said that I will clean up the stall and go to the bank with you to transfer money!" the old man said excitedly.

"Wait, I'll give out 70,000!" A voice sounded suddenly, Shen Lang looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a middle-aged fat man in a white coat open the curtain of the imperial medical hall and walked out of the pharmacy.

When the gray-clothed clerk saw that the fat doctor had come out to bid, he knew that his matter had gone wrong, and glanced at Shen Lang with jealousy.

"One hundred thousand!" Shen Lang immediately drank.

"One hundred and thirty thousand!" said the fat doctor, gritting his teeth.

"Two hundred thousand!" Shen Lang continued to bid.

When the old man saw the price soaring to 200,000, the whole person trembled slightly with excitement.

The fat doctor shook his head and sneered: "Boy, are you from out of town? This ginseng plant can be sold for 150,000 yuan in the sky! You may not know the situation in our Jiangbin, we have a common situation of medicinal farmers cultivating ginseng here, such a big one is very common." ”

"Boy, the idea of secretly making a fortune has been shattered, right? I don't understand anything, and I actually raise the price as soon as I come up, which really makes people laugh and lose their big teeth!" the clerk gloated.

"This ginseng is indeed very similar to wild ginseng in terms of appearance, but I have never seen such a large wild ginseng, and it must have been cultivated for many years. But you've already made a bid just now, and you can't go back on our rules!" the fat doctor said with a gloating face.

"I dug this out of the mountains, young man, you can't go back!" said the old man.

"I think this is a real wild ginseng, old man, let's go to the bank over there to transfer money." Shen Lang said lightly.

Shen Lang took the old man to the opposite bank and quickly completed the transfer, and the old man who finished the transfer happily took the bank card and didn't set up a stall, just packed up the stall and drove home on a tricycle.

The news of Shen Lang's 200,000 yuan buying a ginseng plant soon spread nearby, and many people gathered around, as if looking at the ginseng plant in Shen Lang's hand.

"Little brother, can I take a look at your ginseng?" said an old man with glasses.

Shen Lang handed it over without hesitation, and the old man took the ginseng and looked at it carefully, sniffed it again and said:

"In terms of appearance and smell, there is almost no difference from wild ginseng. But I've never seen such a big wild ginseng at this age, and I'm shallow in my knowledge. The old man handed the ginseng back to Shen Lang

"Haha! Qin Lao Ke is our ginseng expert here, what he said just now is just a polite remark, the truth is that your ginseng is definitely not wild ginseng, you were deceived by the old farmer just now! Hahaha!" The gray-clothed clerk laughed.

The clerk was very happy to see Shen Lang's regretful appearance, he could have won the ginseng for a thousand yuan, and let this guy take a kick, the more he looked at this little white face, the more unhappy he became, he deserved to be cheated by someone!

"Brother, don't be too happy too soon. Old man, you must have never seen thousand-year-old ginseng, right? I'll let you see it this time!" Shen Langfeng said lightly.

"Haha! You still don't see the Yellow River, I'm going to see how you prove that it's a wild ginseng!" the clerk sneered.

"Can you bring me a basin of water?" Shen Lang looked at the clerk.

The clerk really wanted to see Shen Lang's deflated appearance, so he quickly took a basin of water and brought it over.

After Shen Lang put the purchased ginseng into the pot, he began to wait quietly.

Shen Lang's approach made everyone around him scratch their heads, could it be that inserting the roots into the water could prove that this was a wild ginseng?

Qin Lao was also a little displeased, the young man in front of him was a little too exaggerated, they also had important things to do, who would waste a lot of time here?

After seeing this clearly, Qin Lao was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, a refreshing medicinal fragrance came into his nose, and the moment this medicinal fragrance was inhaled into his heart, he felt that his entire spirit and spirit were lifted, as if his energy had increased a lot at once.

"It's... This is the thousand-year-old ginseng king! Only the thousand-year-old ginseng king will emit this kind of medicinal fragrance. Qin Lao's whole body trembled with excitement.

He immediately walked a few steps to the basin of water, and leaned down to look at the muddy water stained with mountain ginseng.

At this moment, the distance to the water source entered, and the medicinal fragrance became even stronger, Qin Lao closed his eyes and breathed greedily.

After a while, Qin Lao seemed to think of something. He opened his eyes, put a scoop of water in the dirty basin with his right hand, and drank it directly to his mouth.

Qin Lao's action stunned the people around him in shock.

However, Qin Lao didn't care about this, after he drank the scoop of turbid water, he was still unsatisfied.

Qin Lao raised his head and asked Shen Lang:

"Young man, I want to buy this basin of water for 50,000 yuan, are you willing?"

The words startled a thousand waves, and the people around them all looked at Qin Lao with incredible expressions, but after a while, these people also immediately figured out the value of this basin of turbid water.

"Old Qin, can you give me a little left, I'm willing to pay 10,000 yuan to buy a small bowl!" shouted an old man in the crowd of onlookers.

Suddenly, the onlookers were not polite, and rushed to buy the basin of turbid water.

After Shen Lang saw such a scene, he was a little speechless.

After the clerk saw the crazy appearance of the people around him, he was shocked and speechless, and after a while, he looked at Shen Lang with jealous eyes, in his opinion, if there was no Shen Lang, this thousand-year-old ginseng king was his.

After Shen Lang took out the wild ginseng from the basin and wrapped it, he turned around and said:

"Everyone has a share of this basin of water, if you want to drink it, line up behind Old Qin and take it in turn!"

Hearing Shen Lang's words, everyone present immediately lined up in a long line excitedly.

Ten minutes later, the basin of muddy water had bottomed out, and everyone present was satisfied.

"How much should such a wild ginseng be worth?" someone asked with a sigh.

"This is a miracle medicine, it can't be measured by price, it can cure all diseases, if it were me, I wouldn't sell it for any money. ”
