Chapter 18 A Valuable Gift?
Under Zhang Yuxin's gaze, Xiao Ping took out a box from his bag and handed it to Zhang Guoquan: "Uncle Zhang, I came in a hurry today, and I didn't have time to prepare anything, so you can accept this little thing." ”
Speaking in his heart, Xiao Ping really forgot about the gift, and he didn't think about it until he left. This is the first time he has been to Zhang Guoquan's house, and he has eaten here at someone's house, so it is really unreasonable not to send something. In a hurry, Xiao Ping remembered the ginseng in the bag, although in his opinion, such a little thing was a little out of his hands, but at least it was not rude.
Seeing Xiao Ping take out the gift, Zhang Guoquan frowned and said, "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing here? I can't accept the gift!"
"Don't, Uncle Zhang, this is the first time I've come to your house, what does it look like with my empty hands?" Xiao Ping hurriedly said: "This is a matter of etiquette, if you come to my house for the first time, you can't bring some fruit or something?"
"Okay, I'll make an exception today, I'll accept this thing!" Zhang Guoquan was amused by Xiao Ping's last words, and took the box with a smile.
Zhang Guoquan also wanted to know what Xiao Ping would give him, so he opened the box in front of him. He was taken aback when he saw the ginseng inside, shook his head and returned the box to Xiao Ping: "This thing is too valuable, I can't accept it." ”
Xiao Ping was anxious when he heard this, how could there be any reason to give away something and then take it back? And in his opinion, such a small ginseng was really nothing, of course, he was determined to leave the gift. The two sides resigned for a while, and finally Zhang Guoquan gave in, and Xiao Ping said goodbye to the old man with satisfaction.
"I'm going to see him off. Seeing that Xiao Ping was leaving, Zhang Yuxin hurriedly chased after his father after saying a word.
At first, the two of them did not speak very tacitly, but as soon as they walked out of the garden, Zhang Yuxin asked nervously: "What do you want?
"Don't get me wrong, your dad and daughter called me to ask for it. Xiao Ping frowned and said, "If it weren't for the fact that this old man and the young man are on the face, I wouldn't have come!"
Zhang Yuxin had already found a chance to ask her daughter, and she knew that Xiao Ping really didn't lie to herself, but she still asked a little uneasily: "Then why do you want to give such a valuable gift to my father?"
Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is that ginseng very expensive? ”
"Although I don't know much about this, how can a wild ginseng of this size cost tens of thousands, right?" Zhang Yuxin said coldly: "Don't say that you don't know Lu Dao, my father never accepted other people's things before, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao today, so he would make an exception for you......
"Wild ginseng? tens of thousands?" Xiao Ping didn't listen to Zhang Yuxin's words at all, he only had these six words in his mind, and couldn't help but say to himself in annoyance: "Damn, this is a big loss! I knew that it was better to buy some fruit, even if I bought two more bottles of Moutai, it wouldn't cost so much money!"
"......Sneer" Zhang Yuxin, who was worried about it, was also amused by Xiao Ping's words, but she quickly held back her laughter and asked, "You really don't know who my father is?"
"Is he famous?" Xiao Ping asked suspiciously, "Could it be an old movie star?"
Zhang Yuxin stared at Xiao Ping for a long time, and felt that he didn't seem to be pretending to be like this, so he said in a relatively gentle tone: "I'm just reminding you, it's best not to beat my father's idea, otherwise I will never let you go!"
"Please, why should I fight the idea of an old man in his fifties?" Xiao Ping said while looking at Zhang Yuxin: "As for the three people in your family, the only person who is worthy of my decision is probably only you." ”
"Get out!" Zhang Yuxin glared at Xiao Ping hatefully, turned around and walked home.
Xiao Ping admired Zhang Yuxin's slightly twisted waist and gently swaying buttocks in the back, and shook his head lightly after the most reluctant: "People are really good-looking, but this temper is too bad......
Neither Xiao Ping nor Zhang Yuxin noticed that Wang Chunlai was in a car across the road, watching all the two talking. Wang Chunlai just happened to pass by here, and he happened to see Xiao Ping coming out of Zhang Guoquan's residence, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
No. 98 Xinhui Road is Zhang Guoquan's private residence, and he comes to stay for a few days at this time of year to commemorate his deceased wife who died here. During this time, Zhang Guoquan almost did not see guests, and even his old subordinate Wang Chunlai never entered this house. And Xiao Ping was able to come here as a guest, and he stayed to eat after seeing the time, which shows that the relationship between him and the Zhang family is extraordinary.
And Zhang Yuxin's sudden joy and anger when talking to Xiao Ping is more like a coquettish relationship between lovers in Wang Chunlai's eyes. Zhang Yuxin has been divorced for several years, even if she finds another partner, it is reasonable. So in Wang Chun's view, Xiao Ping had become Vice Governor Zhang's quasi-son-in-law, and he couldn't help but be glad that he had left his phone number to Xiao Ping, and decided to find an opportunity to have more contact with this young man.
Xiao Ping didn't know that he had become the target of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's desire to win over, and rushed to the largest Chinese medicine store in the city as quickly as possible. Now what he is most concerned about is the price of the two ginseng in the bag, whether he really thinks that what Zhang Yuxin said can be worth tens of thousands.
Hanchun Tang is the largest Chinese medicine store in Sioux City, and has always been known for its high quality and fair trading, so you don't have to worry about buying fakes here. Similarly, Hanchuntang will also purchase medicinal materials at a very reasonable price, provided that the quality of the medicinal materials is excellent.
When Xiao Ping came to Hanchun Hall, there were many customers in front of the counter buying medicinal herbs. He glanced around and saw an old man with gray hair sitting in the deepest part of the counter drinking tea, and in front of him was a sign with four large characters written with a brush: Acquisition of medicinal herbs.
Xiao Ping walked over and smiled at the old man: "Master, I have some medicinal herbs to sell, please help me take a look." ”
Wang Xiaomin had to receive a lot of people who came to sell medicinal materials every day, and nodded to Xiao Ping routinely: "Okay, please take it out." ”
Xiao Ping first took out a box from his bag, opened it in front of Wang Xiaomin, and then nervously observed his reaction. Wang Xiaomin only glanced at the box, and his expression immediately became solemn, and he got closer to observe it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, he raised his head and said to Xiao Ping with satisfaction: "The quality of this twenty-year-old wild ginseng is very good, the price is eighty-five thousand, how about it?"
"Eighty-five thousand?!" Hearing the price quoted by Wang Xiaomin, Xiao Ping's face immediately drooped. Xiao Ping really didn't expect such a small ginseng to be sold so expensive, and remembered that he had generously given away a piece just now, how could he be happy.
How did Wang Xiaomin know what Xiao Ping was thinking? Looking at his expression, he thought that he was not satisfied with the price. Considering that this wild ginseng has been around for some years, and the quality is really good, there is still a lot of room for appreciation after processing, Wang Xiaomin thought for a moment and stretched out a finger and said: "In this way, I will give a final price, 100,000! What do you think?"
What Wang Xiaomin didn't expect was that Xiao Ping's face became even more ugly after hearing this price. This made his heart a little unhappy, and he gently put down the box and said: "Young man, this price is already very reasonable, no matter how high it is, it will be difficult for our store to accept it......"
"Don't say it, I'll sell it. Xiao Ping accepted Wang Xiaomin's offer with a sad face, only to feel even more distressed.
Wang Xiaomin hurriedly said: "Okay, do you want cash or check? I'll let someone prepare for you!"
"Wait a minute. ”
Wang Xiaomin frowned and asked, "What, you changed your mind again?"
"That's not what I meant. Under Wang Xiaomin's dissatisfied gaze, Xiao Ping took out another box from his bag and said weakly: "Please see how much this one is worth." ”
