Chapter 14: Sky-high prices of ginseng
It's late at night.
Qin Tian returned to the hospital, and only his mother was there to accompany him in the ward.
After careful treatment by doctors, my father's condition has not improved, but his physical condition has improved significantly.
The old couple was talking in the ward, and Qin Tian stood at the door without knocking immediately.
"I just broke my leg, what did you do to get me hospital? What a waste of money!"
"This is all what Xiaotian means, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and when your health is better, we will go back to the countryside!"
"No, this ward has to cost hundreds of dollars a day, how much money can Xiaotian make on the construction site?" Sensei persuaded me, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go home, seeing that the corn in the field is about to ripen, if I don't go home to take care of it, I can't rest assured!"
"You worry about this and that all day long, what your body is sick about, and you don't care about it, I ......"
Qin Tian couldn't listen to it anymore, and his mother might be about to say something.
Pushing the door in, Qin Tian interjected with a smile on his face: "Dad, don't worry, the doctor said, you can be discharged from the hospital after a few more days of observation, it doesn't matter if the farm work at home is put aside for a while, your body is important!"
"Stinky boy, where have you been fooling around for the past two days? If it weren't for your detention, would I have broken my leg?"
"Okay old man, Xiaotian went with his friend, I've seen that girl, it's very beautiful!"
"Really, why didn't you wake me up?"
When his father heard this, he was excited, and hurriedly pulled Qin Tian to sit down and began to interrogate him non-stop.
A family of three is homely, but it is also happy.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Qin Tian went to the wholesale market of medicinal herbs.
Because of the previous large-scale purchase of medicinal materials, Qin Tian and Wang Lun, the owner of Baocheng Pharmacy, were familiar with each other.
No, as soon as Qin Tian's van stopped at the door of the pharmacy, Wang Lun came up with a smile on his face.
"Brother Qin, do you still want those goods today?"
Wang Lun smiled and handed over a soft Chinese cigarette.
"I won't buy those today, I'm here to ask about ginseng, Boss Wang, have you helped me inquire?"
Qin Tian walked into the store with familiarity, took a cup of Longjing tea from the teller enthusiastically, and poured a sip to moisten his throat.
"Brother sit down first, I really helped you inquire about this matter clearly!"
"Don't go around in circles with Lao Tzu, make a price!"
Qin Tian was in a hurry to match his father with a blood-invigorating pill, and every minute and second was very expensive.
"That's the number!"
Wang Lun gestured and almost made Qin Tian squirt out the tea.
"Five million?"
"It's not, and the other party said that if it weren't for the tight money, it would be more than this price at the auction!"
Qin Tian was silent.
These days, Qin Tiandekong has also checked on the Internet.
Affected by the increasing scarcity of wild ginseng resources and the increasingly stringent protection measures of primeval forests, wild ginseng has become more and more rare, almost to the point that it has no price.
The last time a century-old wild ginseng appeared, it was eight years ago, when the wild ginseng that grew for 100 years and weighed 30 grams was auctioned for a sky-high price of 3 million yuan.
In the past eight years, there has never been a century-old wild ginseng in China, so that the auction price of 20-year-old wild ginseng is approaching one million yuan.
Therefore, if you can buy a century-old wild ginseng for 5 million yuan now, it will definitely not be a loss.
"Okay, then you can help me contact me immediately, as long as the goods are good, I will definitely give the money!"
Wang Lun laughed heartily, and immediately took out his mobile phone and went to the inner room.
Five minutes later, Wang Lun came out with a smile.
"Let's get in touch, meet at Bohai Hotel at noon, but the more troublesome thing is that the other party asks for a cash transaction!"
"Five million cash? Damn, is there any mistake!"
Wang Lun shrugged, looking helpless.
Qin Tian couldn't stay any longer, rushed out of the store and got into the van, and rushed to the bank at a gallop.
Before noon, after going to several banks, I finally collected five million cash and packed two large suitcases, each weighing more than fifty catties, which ordinary people couldn't carry at all.
Box 202.
Qin Tian didn't wait long before Wang Lun came with a young man.
The young man was dressed very fashionably, in a hip-hop punk style, and when he entered the box, he casually threw a wine box on the table.
"Something was brought, where's the money?"
"When I inspect the goods, I will naturally give the money!"
Qin Tian put on the medical gloves prepared in advance, unpacked the wine box, opened the sterile insulated box inside, and took a bowl of ginseng with gourds and long roots to his hand for careful observation.
"The taproot is short, the reed is slender and has a bowl-shaped scar, and the taproot is wide and full, yes, it is indeed a wild ginseng that is more than 100 years old!"
Qin Tian said, gently unscrewed the small pearl-like bump on the root of the beard and put it in his mouth to taste it, the taste was a little bitter, and the root whisker twisting was also very tough, it was definitely not a fake.
"Things are fine, the money is in the box, you can order it!"
"What Young Master Ben shot, how can it be a fake!"
The young man smiled playfully, bent down to lay down the two boxes, unzipped them and pulled out a bundle of bills, and then re-zipped them back after taking a closer look.
"No problem with money, I won't eat food, let's go!"
The young man grabbed his suitcase with his left and right hands, and then opened the door and left.
Qin Tian put the ginseng back in the insulated box, took out two bundles of money from his satchel and threw them to Wang Lun.
"Brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes, if I had enough cash, I would want to buy it, but it's a pity!"
"Okay, don't get cheap and sell well!"
Qin Tian didn't stop for a moment, leaving the hotel and going straight to the medicinal herb wholesale market.
With the main medicine of the century-old wild ginseng, Qin Tian could finally buy all kinds of precious medicinal materials openly.
After spending nearly two million, he finally purchased all the dispensing of the Blood Vital Pill, and Qin Tian didn't even bother with lunch, so he drove straight to the small warehouse.
Boil the medicine!
The Blood Saving Pill is not to be used to sell for money, but to renew the life of the father.
Therefore, Qin Tian was extra attentive.
When night falls, it's done.
"It's a pity that there are still too few hundred-year-old wild ginseng, only enough to refine five pills!"
Carefully examining the life-saving pill with a unit price of more than one million, Qin Tian pressed back the apprehension in his heart, and carefully put the pill into the red sandalwood box that had already been prepared.
After cleaning up, Qin Tian was just about to leave the warehouse and go back to the hospital when he received a call from Xiao Lan.
"My dad actually suspected that I had stolen the wild ginseng he had treasured for many years, he was really angry, where are you? Come to the hotel to pick me up, I won't get drunk tonight!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Xiao Lan's hysterical complaint was heard.
Qin Tian was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
"Hey, Qin Tian, are you listening? Could it be your broken phone, it's malfunctioning again, can you hear me?"
"Uh...... Yes, I can hear you, I ......"
Qin Tian took out the red sandalwood box in his trouser pocket, and his heart was mixed, so he couldn't tell Xiao Lan that your father's wild ginseng had been used in medicine, right?
"Don't bother, come here, I'll be waiting for you in the hotel room!"
After speaking, Xiao Lan hung up the phone.
Qin Tian hesitated for half a second, but went to the hospital first.
