Chapter 111: The Shop Owner
Liu Fusheng and Jiang Jinghua stared at Li Xuedong with surprised eyes, wondering if there was any way for him to find the extremely rare ginseng.
"This method belongs only to me, even if you tell the two of you, you will not be able to use it. ”
Li Xuedong looked at the two old men with a smile.
Centennial ginseng is a very special existence, at that time ginseng could not be cultivated on a large scale like now, and the king of medicine was fortunate to get a century-old ginseng by chance, and recorded it in the ancient medicine of the eight walls.
Li Xuedong's method of finding a century-old ginseng is to use a spiritual eye.
As long as he glances at it, he basically knows whether the ginseng in front of him is a ginseng, and its efficiency is of course much more efficient than cutting it manually with a knife.
Seeing that Li Xuedong was inconvenient to disclose, Liu Fusheng and Jiang Jinghua did not ask.
Liu Fu asked Li Xuedong when he would start looking for ginseng, and he was willing to immediately open the ginseng library of Chint Group and let Li Xuedong go to check it to see if there was a century-old ginseng inside.
Healing is important, and Li Xuedong also wants to see the legendary Zimu ginseng as soon as possible.
Liu Fusheng immediately ordered Lei Ping to drive Li Xuedong to the ginseng bank of Chint Group, and instructed Lei Ping that no matter what Li Xuedong requested, he would do it without the slightest hesitation.
Lei Ping is now completely convinced by Li Xuedong, and he saw with his own eyes that Liu Fusheng, who was full of sick faces, became energetic when he took a pill.
He had also sent many well-known doctors to help Liu Fusheng treat him before, but there was no effect.
"Mr. Li, please get in the car, please be careful not to hit your head. ”
Lei Ping put his palm on the top of the car door and respectfully reminded Li Xuedong that he usually took care of Liu Fusheng to get into the car.
After getting on the bus, Li Xuedong asked Lei Ping to go to the medicinal herb market first.
Lei Ping didn't dare to have the slightest doubt, and immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove to the medicinal herb market in Fuxing District.
After arriving at the Chinese herbal medicine market, Lei Ping waited outside the market, and Li Xuedong went to wander around the market to see if there were any medicinal materials he needed.
The vendors in the market have long been familiar with Li Xuedong, and they know that he has a relationship with Liu Fusheng, the chairman of Chint Group, and they don't dare to underestimate this little boy who looks like a student.
Seeing him coming, the vendors hurriedly waved to Li Xuedong and said hello, and vied with each other that they had newly purchased herbs and asked Li Xuedong to come and identify them.
At a glance, Li Xuedong really found a lot of interesting grasses, such as fragrant navel, asparagus, Venus grass and so on.
Li Xuedong directly asked the vendor to pack all the good-looking medicinal materials for him, and take them away directly when he came back.
After turning around for a long time, he didn't see anyone selling ginseng, so Li Xuedong asked the vendors where to buy wild ginseng in the market.
A vendor handed the wrapped elderberry to Li Xuedong, raised his hand and pointed not far ahead, and said, "Little brother, there is a family ginseng shop in front, it is newly opened, you go there and take a look." ”
Li Xuedong asked the vendor to put the elderberry for him first, and then pick it up when he came back.
The ginseng shop referred to by the vendor is actually a 20-square-meter brown lacquered wood house, although the area is not large, but the appearance of the shop has taken a lot of thought, making it look like ginseng, which is quite artistic.
There are seven or eight customers in the ginseng shop who are picking out ginseng, and the owner is a middle-aged man in blue clothes and trousers, with a mustache and thief eyebrows, giving people the image of a profiteer.
Seeing Li Xuedong coming in, the boss hurriedly greeted him.
But when he saw Li Xuedong wearing a school uniform, his little eyes were stunned for a moment, and his open mouth immediately closed, ignoring him, but beckoning to a few men in suits next to him.
Li Xuedong sneered, turned to look at the boxes of delicately packaged ginseng placed behind the counter.
I secretly opened the spiritual eye and scanned it, but I didn't find the ginseng, but I found that nine times out of ten these ginsengs were fake ginseng, and there were real ginseng, but the price was ten times that of fake ginseng.
Looking at the boxes of fake ginseng in front of him, Li Xuedong couldn't help but think of the vendor he met selling fake ginseng in the antique street before, and he didn't know if they were in a gang.
Of course, Li Xuedong still thought of the long-haired beauty in a black dress, and he didn't know if the stuffiness in her chest had eased.
"Boss!"
Just as Li Xuedong was recalling the charming and moving beauty in the black dress, a hurried shout came from behind him.
Li Xuedong is looking for prestige.
An old man in a green military uniform, hurriedly carrying an old cardboard box, walked quickly to the thief-eyed shop owner and said:
"Boss, do you collect herbs here, I want to sell you something!"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and looked at the old cardboard box in the old man's hand, and asked arrogantly: "Of course I accept it, see what you want to sell, what is it here?"
"It's a good thing, I dug it up in the mountains. ”
The old man in military uniform, with his wrinkled face covered with excitement, carefully placed the cardboard box on the counter, then opened it and took out a palm-sized object wrapped in a blue cloth from inside.
I heard that there was something good, and the guests who were picking ginseng around gathered around to see what treasures the old man in military uniform had dug up.
The blue cloth covered in dirt was slowly lifted, and a ginseng, only two thumbs thick, appeared in the palm of his hand, stained with black mud on it.
When they saw that it was just a bunch of ginseng with the thickness of their thumbs, everyone couldn't help but show disappointed expressions.
The owner of the ginseng shop glanced at the ginseng and smiled disdainfully:
"I thought it was some kind of treasure, isn't it just a ginseng, look at me here, which ginseng is not bigger than this one in your hand!"
"Yes...... But I dug this out of the mountains?!"
The confident expression on the face of the old man in military uniform disappeared, replaced by panic and apprehension.
"In the mountains, hehe!"
The boss of the ginseng shop picked up the wild mountain ginseng casually and checked it, then threw it in the hands of the old man in military uniform, raised his hand and pointed to the exquisitely packaged ginseng behind him:
"Old man, I can tell you, all the ginseng I have here is pure Changbai Mountain wild ginseng, you thing, it's worthless!"
Walking in with confidence, only to be told that it was worthless, the wrinkled face of the old man in military uniform was full of loss and anxiety.
With a long sigh, the old man wrapped the small wild ginseng with a cloth again, and prepared to put it back in the box.
A sneer appeared at the corner of the shop's mouth, and he leaned over to the old man and said:
"Old man, although your small ginseng can't be compared with my big ginseng here, it's also ginseng, so let's give you 200 yuan, and you can give me this ginseng." ”
"Ah, boss, you dare me two hundred?!"
Knowing that the small wild ginseng was only two hundred pieces, the old man exclaimed bitterly.
"Two hundred yuan is already a lot, you have to go to those small stalls outside to collect it, they won't even give you a hundred yuan, I already have a good conscience!"
The shopkeeper put on a generous look, pointed to the small stalls outside, and after seeing the old man's face a little hesitant, he pretended to be a good person and persuaded: "I see that you are from the county seat, I know that it is not easy for you, so let's give you another hundred yuan, three hundred yuan, and give me ginseng, how about it?"
After hesitating for a long time, the old man in military uniform sighed helplessly, and his thin hands trembled and pushed the cardboard box in front of the boss:
"Zhongzhong, I'll give the little wild ginseng to the boss, you can say okay, three hundred yuan!"
