The taxi stopped in front of Jiutai City's Tiantai Chinese Medicine room. Wei Zheng got out of the car and walked in with his suitcase. As soon as he entered, the pungent smell of Chinese medicine made Wei Zheng feel very uncomfortable. He covered his nose with one hand and stood in front of the counter. He asked the person inside,"Is your boss here?" An old man wearing glasses stood up from his chair and walked to Wei Zheng. He asked,"What's wrong? Is there anything you need?" "Hello!" Wei Zheng asked. Do you accept medicinal herbs here? I mean wild ginseng."
The old man pushed his glasses up his nose bridge in surprise. He fixed his eyes on Wei Zheng and asked,""Are you sure it's wild ginseng?" "I'm sure!" Wei Zheng said. At least 120 years." When the old man heard this, he said excitedly,"Young man! Can I take a look?" Wei Zheng quickly put down the suitcase and carefully took out a plastic bag from his pocket and handed it to the old man. The old man looked at the wild ginseng in the plastic bag and asked curiously,"Is this how you pretended to come?"
"Yeah!" Wei Zheng said. If he didn't put this thing in a plastic bag, he was afraid that the whiskers on it would be broken.”The old man was stunned by Wei Zheng's words. He carefully opened the plastic bag and picked up the wild ginseng. A moment later, the old man said excitedly,""I didn't expect this ginseng to have a perfect three-section reed, five roots, and at the same time, nine evenly distributed stalks.”At this point, the old man's hands trembled as he gently placed the wild ginseng on the counter and asked excitedly,"Are you sure you want to sell it?"
Wei Zheng nodded and said," This thing is bitter. There's nothing to eat. It just so happens that I don't have any money. I heard that this thing is very valuable, so I sold it."”The old man swallowed hard when he heard Wei Zheng's words and said,""This wild ginseng is indeed not cheap. Therefore, things were still precious now.”After saying that, he turned around and took out a small scale. He gently placed the wild ginseng on the scale and weighed it. The old man smiled." A ginseng king is indeed a ginseng king. The dry stuff is sixty-five grams." If you sell it to me, 1.2 million. If it was auctioned in the south, it might be more expensive.”
"South!" Wei Zheng said in surprise. I'm not even familiar with Jiutai City, let alone the south. How about this? I'm also in need of money, so I'll sell it to you.”"Are you transferring money?" asked the old man. I still want a cash check." " I want cash," Wei Zheng said." My ID card isn't ready yet, so I can't open a bank account."”The old man rubbed his temples and said,""Alright then! You might have to wait for an hour. You can't withdraw so much cash in one go.”" No problem," Wei Zheng said." Remember to get me a box to store the money. It's inconvenient to carry it in a plastic bag."”
"No problem," said the old man."Let me make a few calls."”After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
A moment later, the old man walked over and looked at Wei Zheng. He asked softly,""Have you eaten wild ginseng like this before?”" I haven't eaten anything over 100 years old," Wei Zheng said." They're all under 100 years old, but they're not much different from this one." When I was young, my grandfather often let me eat it, but it was a little bitter and there was nothing to eat.”"This is wild ginseng," the old man asked in confusion."You didn't grow it yourself. Does your grandfather often buy this for you?" Aren't you afraid of getting sick from eating it?"
" My family lives in the mountains," Wei Zheng said." When my grandfather is bored, he will go out for a walk. He will always gain something."”The old man's interest was piqued when he heard this. "Then do you have any wild ginseng bigger than this at home?"”" Yes," Wei Zheng said." I took out a small one, two big ones, and one similar to this one."”The old man immediately became excited and asked in a trembling voice,"You mean bigger than this?" "Yeah!" Wei Zheng said. My grandfather said that those two are at least 500 years old.”
"Young man?" the old man asked immediately. Are you going to sell your wild ginseng?”Wei Zheng shook his head and said," I'm not selling it anymore. My grandfather's health hasn't been good recently. He wants to keep it for himself."”The old man swallowed hard again and said,"If what you said is true, that wild ginseng is more than five hundred years old. As long as everything is still in good condition, it can be sold for at least six million.”Wei Zheng said," If I sell this, I'll have enough money to spend. I'm not selling it anymore. I'll let Grandpa eat it. When he's better, I'll go and dig some back."”
The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Young man, do you think this is a radish? You can dig it up just like that."”Wei Zheng said," You haven't been to the deep mountains before. If you walk alone in the mountains for a month, you can also dig up wild ginseng. It's just that the size is hard to say."”"You've been there?" the old man asked curiously. Wei Zheng said," I've been there before, but I've never been to a place further away. There's a bear there. Grandpa was afraid that something would happen to me, so he didn't let me go too far."”"It seems that your family doesn't live on the outskirts of the mountain, but inside the mountain," said the old man.”
"Yeah!" Wei Zheng nodded. We hunt for a living in the mountains. I haven't been out for long.”The old man took out a business card from his pocket and said,""Young man! This is my number. If you are interested in selling wild ginseng in the future, feel free to call me, no matter how old it is.”Wei Zheng took the business card and looked at it. Practitioner! Wan Chunliang! Call 137
Wei Zheng looked at the name card and put it in his pocket. He said,"Okay, if I need to sell it in the future, I'll definitely call you.”The old man stopped talking and picked up the wild ginseng on the counter to take a look.
Not long after, a small car with a logo stopped at the door. Two men and a woman got out of the car. They were all middle-aged men. The three of them carried three suitcases into the pharmacy. As soon as they entered, the woman shouted,"Dad! What was it? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wan Chunliang said,"Come in and settle the money first."”The three of them followed Wan Chunliang's words and came to a bedroom behind the counter.
As soon as they entered the bedroom, Wan Chunliang said,"Hurry up and tidy up the money. The young man outside is waiting for money."”The three of them quickly opened the suitcase. A middle-aged man asked as he tidied it up,"Dad! What happened?" " That young man sold a sixty-five grams of wild ginseng," Wan Chunliang said." It's an intact ginseng king. If it's auctioned in the south, it can earn at least six hundred thousand."”The woman exclaimed,"Wow! Why doesn't that person sell it himself?" Wan Chunliang said," People who have just come out of the mountains are not familiar with the market in the south. The price of wild ginseng is rising day by day, let alone the ginseng king, who is still precious."”
The middle-aged man quickly put the money away. He was afraid that Wei Zheng would go back on his word, so he immediately handed it to Wan Chunliang. Wan Chunliang came to the counter with a suitcase and pushed it to Wei Zheng with a smile."Young man! Count it!" Wei Zheng opened the suitcase and did a simple count. According to the stacks, it was exactly 1.2 million. Then he closed the suitcase and said,"Yes!" The amount is not bad, then I should go. If I need money again, I'll come to you again.”"Alright!" Wan Chunliang smiled. It doesn't matter how many years it takes." Wei Zheng nodded and left with a suitcase in each hand.
After leaving the house, Wei Zheng said happily in his heart,""Wow! 1.2 million! That's a whole million more than what grandpa said!! Now, he could buy Fang Qiuying a better diamond jewelry.”Thinking of this, he stopped a taxi by the roadside. After getting in, he said,"To the biggest jewelry store in the city." "Alright!" The driver said. As she spoke, she ran away.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a jewelry store. The driver said,"This is the biggest jewelry store in Jiutai.”Wei Zheng paid the fare and came to the entrance of the jewelry store. Lin Jewelry Group! Jiutai City branch! When Wei Zheng saw this, he carried two suitcases and walked in. She was instantly stunned by the shiny jewelry inside. The hall was surrounded by counters with all kinds of beautiful jewelry, white, yellow, jade, and so on.
A lady in a red uniform walked over and asked with a smile,"Hello, sir! Do you need any help?" "What's the most fashionable diamond jewelry this year?" asked Wei Zheng.”"Please follow me, sir!" The young lady said with a smile.”After saying that, he brought Wei Zheng to a counter that sold diamond accessories for interstellar suits.
There was also a lady in a red uniform standing behind the counter. When Wei Zheng arrived, she quickly smiled professionally and said,"Sir! This counter has this year's most fashionable diamond set meal. Do you want a single set meal? Or a set meal for two?" "I want to give my girlfriend a set of diamonds."”The lady took out a set meal price list and said,"Sir! Here are the items and prices of the single meal.”Wei Zheng took a look. The three-piece single-person set cost 360,000 yuan! Four-piece set, 480,000! A five-piece set costs 600,000!
"Give me a five-piece set, thank you!" Wei Zheng said.”The lady smiled sweetly and said,""Sir! Your girlfriend is so lucky. I'm really envious.”At this point, he took out a receipt and started writing. Then, he handed it to Wei Zheng and asked him to pay at the cashier.
When Wei Zheng opened the suitcase full of cash, he immediately attracted many burning gazes. There were also some ambiguous gazes that would occasionally glance at him. At this moment, Wei Zheng only had Fang Qiuying in his heart. After paying, he returned to the counter, picked up the packed five-piece diamond set, and left.
When Wei Zheng arrived at the town, it was already evening. Although the town was not as prosperous as the city, the New Year atmosphere here was much stronger than in the city. Along the way, they heard the sound of firecrackers from time to time. This was something that they had never heard in the valley. When Wei Zheng arrived at his little nest, he put down his luggage and immediately called Fang Qiuying. At this moment, Fang Qiuying was watching TV at home out of boredom. When she heard the phone ring, she picked it up and saw that it was Wei Zheng. After picking up the call, she smiled and asked,"Haha! Happy New Year! Are you back? I called you a few days ago but there was no signal!”
