Chapter 30: Millennial Ginseng
"Boss, I see a notice on your door to buy herbs, I just have some herbs, you see how much you can collect," the old man said and put the basket on his back on the ground, only to see that the basket was full of weeds that had not been cleaned.
The boss was looking for medicinal materials for Xia Qing, and casually looked at the old man's back basket, and then said impatiently: "Don't accept it, don't accept it, you can leave quickly." ”
"Huh? How can you not take it? I saw the notice you put up earlier," the old man said at once, a little anxious.
"I'm still waiting to buy herbs for my wife's treatment, you see, there may be some herbs you need here," the old man hurriedly turned out the contents of the basket.
The boss really didn't want to entangle with such an old man who didn't understand anything, so he said directly: "You don't have any medicinal herbs here, they are all weeds, how can I collect them?" ”
The clerk in the pharmacy also looked at the old man with a sneering face, and shook their heads helplessly, there have been many such old men in their pharmacy recently. I didn't understand anything, so I went up the mountain to dig up some weeds I didn't know, and sent them as medicinal herbs.
"Wouldn't it? I have ginseng here, you see," said the old man, taking out a ginseng wrapped in dirt, and said anxiously.
"What ginseng. You are the wild radish in the mountains, and you don't even have ginseng," the boss glanced at it, if you can dig up such a large ginseng casually, it will be really valuable, and many people used radishes as ginseng before.
"Old man, hurry up, don't delay my business here," the boss urged.
"Take a good look, I might really have what you need here," the old man was still unwilling, after all, he was not able to make money. I can only try my luck and see if I can sell a medicinal herb, at least I can exchange it for some money.
"No, no, Xiao Li, get out."
The boss was also really impatient. Hurriedly said.
At this time, Chen Feng suddenly said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look at this medicinal herb of yours." ”
Chen Feng came to the old man as he spoke.
"Look at what I have here," the old man said hurriedly when he saw that someone was interested in his herbs.
Chen Feng was not interested in the other things in the back basket, but he was very interested in the wild radish in the old man's hand, and reached out to take it.
"This ginseng, 100,000 yuan, I want it," Chen Feng said.
As soon as these words came out, the entire pharmacy was stunned, even the old man was stunned.
"You...... What did you say? ”
"This, 100,000 yuan, I want it," Chen Feng said with the black wild radish.
"Really?"
The old man became excited as soon as he heard this, originally he thought that such a basket of medicinal herbs could be sold for a few hundred yuan, but he didn't expect that someone would ask for 100,000 yuan to buy this thing.
"Of course, Xia Qing, you take my card to withdraw money," Chen Feng took out the card and handed it to Xia Qing.
Although Xia Qing was also a little surprised, he still took the card and went out to withdraw the money according to Chen Feng's intentions.
"It's really sick, 100,000 yuan to buy a wild radish."
"Isn't this brain-dead, they all said that there could be no valuable medicinal materials, and they even paid 100,000 yuan to buy them."
The clerks in the pharmacy looked at Chen Feng with idiot eyes.
"He also said that he can know any medicinal herbs, and he can't see a single wild radish," the pharmacy owner filled Xia Qing's medicine and sneered directly at Chen Feng's side, who let this kid embarrass himself in front of the clerk before.
"That's 100,000 dollars." Xia Qing took back the money and said to the old man.
"Okay, take the things," said the old man, and without counting the money, he ran out with it in his arms.
"Your back basket," Xia Qing hurriedly shouted.
"Don't. Don't want it," the old man was afraid that Chen Feng would regret it, so he hurriedly shouted and disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing this, Chen Feng also shook his head helplessly.
"Is this really ginseng?" Xia Qing looked at this thing and asked with some curiosity, because this thing is too similar to ginseng.
"It's not ginseng," Chen Feng said lightly.
As soon as the boss heard Chen Feng admit it, he immediately smiled and said: "Silly girl, of course it's not ginseng, this young man looks very good, he spent so much money to buy this thing, so let's buy a lesson." ”
Many clerks also looked at Chen Feng with disdain, who knew Jiang Cheng's next sentence, which made everyone stunned.
"This is a thousand-year-old ginseng," Chen Feng said lightly.
Everyone was stunned, and then they couldn't hold back their laughter.
"Young man, if you suffer a loss, you can suffer a loss, and don't dream like this." The goatee boss looked at Chen Feng with a mocking face and said.
Chen Feng didn't speak, but walked to the side of the faucet, put the mud-stained thing under the water and rushed up.
After a while, the mud was washed away, revealing the true face inside, and a lot of beards were exposed.
"This ...... This is? The shopkeeper's originally mocking face instantly stiffened.
"Ginseng gathers spirits, thousands of years of ginseng is counted by mustaches, although this ginseng is less than a thousand years, but it is almost the same, it has already had a little spirituality, in order to protect itself, wrap the beard on the body, it has survived to this day," Chen Feng said lightly.
Sure enough, the ginseng that was rinsed quickly had many ginseng whiskers, densely dispersed. In this way, it seems that there is indeed a ginseng age of no less than 1,000 years.
"Mr. Chen, are you really right, it turns out that this is really a good thing?" Xia Qing was also pleasantly surprised.
"This gentleman, can you let me take a look," the goatee boss hurriedly walked out from behind the medicine table and said to Chen Feng.
The goatee boss put on his glasses and looked at it carefully, and found that it was really a ginseng, and it was really a high-grade ginseng with hundreds of years of ginseng.
In this way, this thing is a priceless treasure, a scrop of cucumber has been found in the provincial capital before, and it is only a low-grade cucumber of nearly a hundred years, and it has been auctioned for a price of two million, this strain, once auctioned, it is even more priceless.
"This gentleman, this strain, I am willing to ...... ten times Oh no, twenty times the acquisition, I wonder if Mr. can cut love? Goatee looked at Chen Feng excitedly and said.
Twenty times that's two million.
"No, this thing, I'll keep it useful," Chen Feng said lightly.
"This gentleman. You really don't want to? The goatee boss continued: "You don't have the means to auction in your hands, even if you keep this thing, it doesn't make the slightest sense, and it's a waste of medicine." ”
"I'm going to keep it for the soaking wine to drink," Chen Feng said.
"Bubble ......?"
When the goatee heard this, he immediately felt a pain in his heart, such a precious high-grade ginseng was actually taken back to make wine, which was simply a tyrannical thing.
"Xia Qing, take the medicine, let's go," Chen Feng put the ginseng in the placket of his clothes and said softly.
Xia Qing agreed, and also walked out with Chen Feng, no matter how the goatee boss kept it, it was useless.
"Hey, what a pity!"
The goatee boss was really sorry at the moment, he had known that he would carefully check the old man's medicinal materials, such a precious scrop of scutellaria, was bought by someone for 100,000 yuan.
Not to mention 100,000 yuan, even if it was 1 million, he could buy it back from that old man.
"What do you see? Work hard, a bunch of waste things, you can't even tell the difference between cucumber and wild radish," the goatee boss yelled as he looked at the clerks around him.
Chen Feng and Xia Qing walked on the side of the road.
"Chen Feng, how can you tell that thing is a Xuanshen?" Xia Qing asked a little curiously.
"You really want to know?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
"Really."
"Then I said that this ginseng was actually planted by me here, and I wanted to wait until a thousand years to dig it out, do you believe it or not?" Chen Feng looked at Xia Qing with a smile and said.
"You planted it?" Xia Qing was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, it's a pity that its life count didn't allow it to grow for a thousand years, and it was dug up." Chen Feng was still quite emotional, but he was also playing at the beginning, and there was no loss for him.
Burst!
Xia Qing couldn't help but laugh directly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Feng asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that you look so serious, as if what you said is true," Xia Qing said to Chen Feng with a smile.
"Of course it's true," Chen Feng said as he took out the ginseng and said, "Give this thing to you, cut a little bit every day and boil water for your mother to drink, it should help her condition." ”
"Huh?"
Xia Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No." It's so precious, I can't ask for it. ”
"Take it, it's not a good thing for me," Chen Feng said in a low voice.
As he spoke, Chen Feng reached out and stuffed the ginseng into Xia Qing's satchel.
Xia Qing couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it, but her heart was really more moved. Chen Feng had already helped her twice, the first time with the house and this time with her mother's illness.
"Then I won't thank you, please have something to eat, it just hasn't dinner yet," Xia Qing said with a smile as he looked at Chen Feng.
"Okay." Chen Feng also agreed.
Xia Qing knew that Chen Feng loved to eat noodles, so the two walked into the noodle restaurant on the side, and one of them asked for a noodle.
"Okay, it's not too early, I'll send you home," Chen Feng and Xia Qing came out. said to Xia Qing.
"Okay," Xia Qing agreed, and said, "Actually, I don't want to trouble you." ”
"It's nothing, I'm very idle anyway," Chen Feng said indifferently.
"Where were you before? Have you been with Mr. Su all the time? Xia Qing asked with some curiosity.
"No, I was picked up from the psychiatric hospital." Chen Feng said casually.
"A mental hospital?"
Xia Qing frowned, and was about to say something, when suddenly the door of a van not far away opened, and five strong men with machetes came down, and walked towards Chen Feng and Xia Qing with a menacing attitude.
