Chapter 7: Insatiable greed

"Less nonsense, gender. The policewoman said in a cold tone.

"Female. Chen Xi said impatiently.

"You... Don't you want to go out?" The policewoman was a little angry, although because of Chen Xi's relationship, she made a great contribution this time, but I don't know why, I just saw that this kid was unhappy.

"Okay, man. Chen Xi said.

"Age. ”

"Nineteen. Chen Xi said: "No, I said police officer, I am righteous and brave, how can you be the same as a prisoner." ”

"Less nonsense, just answer the questions well. The policewoman said, "Profession."

"Students. ”

Chen Xi didn't have anything to hide, anyway, his identity was innocent, whatever the other party asked.

learned from the policewoman's badge that her name is Xia Yao, and she is definitely a school flower-level beauty in terms of appearance, but Xia Yao always has a straight face, as if others owe her a lot of money.

"I said beauty, you asked and asked, I can go now. Chen Xi was a little impatient.

"What are you anxious about? The robbers you beat this time are a man from Donghai City called the Evil Wolf Gang, who left you here to protect you. ”

Xia Yao was also extremely surprised when she saw Chen Xi subduing six robbers by himself, because Chen Xi didn't look strong, although he was more than one meter eight tall, but he had been committing crimes against a group of robbers for a long time, they were all outlaws, and they all had murder weapons on their bodies, so they were curious about Chen Xi.

After all, it is rare for a student who has just graduated from high school to have such skills, and she knows that this group of people is only a small part, if Chen Xi is not taken away at that time, this kid may be retaliated against by this group, similar things have happened before.

"But I'm in a hurry. Chen Xi said.

"Okay, you can go, but be careful in Donghai City during this time, this is my phone, if you have any trouble in Donghai City, call me directly." ”

Xia Yao handed a police business card to Chen Xi and said.

"Thank you then. Chen Xi casually put away the business card and went out of the room directly by the backpack.

Su Ya had been waiting outside, and when she saw Chen Xi coming out, she was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward.

"How's it going? Su Ya's face was full of concern.

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Haven't you gone back yet?"

"It's not that I'm worried about you, you don't know the current police station, who knows..."

Su Ya said halfway through her words, and when she saw Xia Yao coming out of it, she stopped, she originally wanted to say that many police officers colluded with bandits and something like that, but when she saw the police coming out, she didn't dare to say bad things about people in person.

Chen Xi smiled dumbly, wondering if this girl had watched too many TV series, although the female policeman always had a stinky face, she seemed to be a good person.

"Where are you going next?" asked Su Ya again.

"Do you know where to sell ginseng in Donghai City?" Chen Xi asked, he still had a few wild ginseng plants in his bag, and it was useless to keep them for himself, and he planned to sell them for some money, after all, there was still a month before the start of school, and he had to find a place to live, and now he only had more than two hundred yuan left.

"There should be a big pharmacy nearby, what are you buying ginseng for?" asked Su Ya.

"Take me to see it. Chen Xi said.

Su Ya is a native of Donghai, with her leading the way, the two soon came to Tongren Pharmacy, Tongren Pharmacy is the largest Chinese medicine chain store in Donghai City, and the people who come and go are generally relatively wealthy, so the medicinal materials here are also the most expensive in Donghai City.

At this time, there were not many people in the pharmacy, as soon as Chen Xi and Su Ya entered the pharmacy, they aroused the idea of the staff, but the staff looked at Chen Xi's cheap clothes, and there was a look of disgust in their eyes, they didn't think that a poor person like Chen Xi could consume in the pharmacy.

When they looked at Su Ya, their eyes suddenly lit up, because Su Ya was obviously very outstanding in terms of appearance, temperament and dress.

A man in his thirties walked straight towards Su Ya and directly ignored Chen Xi.

"Hello this young lady, my surname is Wu, and I am the manager of this big pharmacy, do you need any help?"

The man's eyes looking at Su Ya were full of desire, which made Su Ya's heart suddenly disgusted, although she had seen such eyes a lot, but she was disgusted every time.

"Do you accept ginseng here?" asked Chen Xi directly.

At this time, Manager Wu looked at Chen Xi and said impatiently: "We are a colleague pharmacy, but we don't accept everything." ”

"Oh, is the fifty-year-old mountain ginseng harvested?" Chen Xi said lightly.

"Fifty-year-old ginseng?" Manager Wu looked surprised, obviously a little disbelieving, not to mention fifty-year-old ginseng now, even thirty-year-old ginseng is rare.

"Take it out and take a look. Manager Wu looked at Chen Xi suspiciously and said.

Chen Xi doesn't care about the man's attitude, he is here to sell something, if the price is right, he will sell, if it can't be negotiated, he won't sell, it's just a transaction.

He took off his backpack, took out a white cloth package from it, put it on the table next to it, and slowly opened it.

At the moment when the white cloth package was opened, Manager Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and what appeared in front of him was a ginseng with staggered roots and tendrils, full of human shape, with a visual inspection of at least a hundred grams, and with his eyesight, it was naturally seen that this ginseng was indeed an authentic old mountain ginseng, and the year was at least fifty years old.

"Little brother, how about we go inside and talk?"

Manager Wu's attitude suddenly became polite, you must know that this kind of wild ginseng that is old can not be found, if you can negotiate, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

"Yes. ”

"Two inside, please. Manager Wu said very politely.

The two were brought into the inner hall by Manager Wu, and Manager Wu immediately beckoned Chen Xi and Su Ya to sit down and serve tea to a female staff member.

"Don't bother. Chen Xi waved his hand and said.

"What is the name of this little brother?" asked Manager Wu.

"My surname is Chen. Chen Xi said.

"Little Brother Chen, that's the case, we still have to identify your ginseng, if it's true, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price, you can rest assured, you wait a while now, our appraiser will come in a while, let's have a sip of tea first." ”

Manager Wu said with a flattering face, he saw that Chen Xi was so young and dressed so ordinary, and when the time came, he would push the price down hard, and he would definitely be able to make a lot of money, you must know that ginseng of this quality is rare, and a gram on the market is more than 20,000 yuan, and 20,000 yuan may not be bought.

Su Ya next to him was also a little surprised, he thought that Chen Xi was going to come over to buy ginseng, but it turned out that he was going to sell ginseng.

Although she didn't understand, she heard Chen Xi say that ginseng has fifty years, which is definitely very precious, and she also wanted to buy it in her heart, because her grandfather had a birthday next month, and she hadn't thought about what gift to buy for him, but thinking that Chen Xi had already sold it here, she didn't open her mouth.

After a while, a middle-aged man with glasses and a little emaciation walked in.

"Little Brother Chen, this is the chief physician of our pharmacy, and he is definitely an expert in medicinal materials, so he will help identify it. Manager Wu said.

"Please. Chen Xi put the ginseng on the table and motioned for the eyed man to start.

The man with glasses was originally a little unimpressed, because people often come to the pharmacy to sell ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, but basically they are not very good things, he has seen too many things like this, and seeing that Chen Xi is not very old, he thinks that he is probably taking some defective products to fool people.

It's just that when he saw the ginseng on the table, his eyes lit up, and he took off his glasses and wiped them, then brought them up again, picked up the ginseng and observed it carefully, and his heart suddenly became happy.

Because this ginseng is excellent in both quality and quantity, at least more than 50 years old.

Manager Wu saw the expression of the man with glasses and hurriedly glanced at him.

The man with glasses immediately understood, his face changed back to a nonchalant expression, shook his head, and said: "This ginseng is still complete as a whole, but the roots are somewhat damaged, and the quality is not good, according to the current market price, it is more than 10,000 yuan, so let's take 20,000 yuan from our colleague pharmacy, and it can be regarded as making a friend." ”

"That's right, little brother Chen, if you still have ginseng in the future, you can contact me, and our pharmacy can buy it at a high price." Manager Wu agreed.

Chen Xi sneered in his heart, he saw the expressions of the man with glasses and Manager Wu just now, and since it was for the sale of ginseng, then he naturally checked the market in advance, 20,000 yuan?

"Excuse me. Chen Xi directly rewrapped the ginseng and prepared to get up and leave.

When Manager Wu saw this scene, he was immediately anxious and hurriedly stopped Chen Xi.

"Wait a minute, little brother Chen, if we are not satisfied with this price, we can still negotiate. ”

If Chen Xi is taken away like this, then he will lose a lot this time.

"Discussed? How to discuss? Fifty-year-old wild ginseng weighs more than 100 grams and weighs 20,000 yuan, what do you send to ask for food?"

Chen Xi was also a little angry, these two people are really insatiable, such wild ginseng may not be able to be bought even if there is money.

"Little brother, the price we offered just now is indeed a little low, how about adding 10,000 or 30,000 yuan to you?" Manager Wu continued.

"Are you stupid? or are everyone else stupid? Chen Xi sneered: "This kind of ginseng, the current market price is 20,000 yuan per gram, and it may not be able to be bought, as long as this ginseng has more than 120 grams, even if there are 3 million people rushing to ask for it, you can open your mouth for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and it is not enough to buy a root." ”

Manager Wu listened to Chen Xi's words, his face was also a little ugly, he originally thought that Chen Xi was just a dirt bun, but he didn't expect this kid to be a knowledgeable master, just now the two of them sang and harmonized, in front of others like a clown, Chen Xi said the truth, with the quality of this ginseng, if it is placed in the Tongren Pharmacy, three or four million people have a lot of people rushing to ask for it.
