Old Man Xu touched the ginseng like a pervert checking out a woman. After examining it thoroughly for a while, his eyes glowed with a green light.
"Three million! Take the money, leave the product!" Grandpa Xu said a number casually. His hand wouldn't loosen its grip on the ginseng no matter what.
But the way he looked at Jing Yunzhao was becoming even more passionate as if she was a treasure chest. He sighed. It was rare to see something as good as this and even in the capital, it would be a rare sight. He wouldn't slice it piece by piece to eat it. That would be a waste. It was best to make soak it in alcohol. It's healthy and it will last!
At that moment, Jing Yunzhao was already dizzy from that three million number. In her past life, not even three million, she had never even touched thirty thousand!
Despite that, she didn't lose her sanity, "Grandpa Xu, if you don't have that much money, we don't have to do this. Please don't sell this house just because of this ginseng."
Wasn't this Grandpa Xu just an old geezer? How much money can he have?
If because of this ginseng, this old man lost his house and lived every night in the cold, she would be unable to live with herself. This Grandpa Xu was pretty good to her after all.
When Grandpa Xu heard this, he huffed angrily. Just when he wanted to scold her, he remembered the ginseng in his hand and calmed his rage. He used his rarely used gentle voice and said, "You're looking down on me. This kind of money means nothing to me! Xing Yuan (行渊)! You're responsible for transferring the money to this girl."
The one named Xing Yuan was indeed the middle-aged man beside Grandpa Xu.
He had a cold expression. Only towards Grandpa Xu did he show respect. His expressions also changed accordingly. But now that Jing Yunzhaohad gained the favor of Grandpa Xu, this Xing Yuan seemed gentler than before.
"I don't have a bank card." Jing Yunzhao was feeling a little panicky.
"Then Xing Yuan will take you to make one." Grandpa Xu waved his hand impatiently and returned inside holding that ginseng.
Jing Yunzhao felt a bit hopeless, "Uncle Xing Yuan, is that ginseng really worth this much?"
"The one you brought has aged enough. Its appearance is also undamaged, thus its worth naturally wouldn't be low. But something as good as this cannot have a large quantity." Uncle Hang Yuan was astonished for a while before replying.
Jing Yunzhao suddenly felt an alarm hitting her. Selling this ginseng, once was enough. If she did it too many times, even Grandpa wouldn't help but ask questions.
However, this Grandpa Xu and Uncle Xing Yuan were all good people. The herbs she brought before weren't worth as much as this ginseng, but their qualities were all rare and excellent. Yet these two accepted them without hesitation. If it was someone else, they would've already asked, unable to control their curiosity.
This alley was located in pretty remote place, but there was a bank nearby. Even though Jing Yunzhao was young, with Hang Yuan accompany her, no one cared too much about them.
She needed a lot of money for school. She also needed some for her daily expenses. So she kept a few hundred thousand on her and split the rest of the money into two separate cards.
After the transaction was done, Jing Yunzhao headed towards Xiang Hai Restaurant as scheduled.
Xiang Hai Restaurant was in the county center yet it took up a lot of space. The decorations inside were nonetheless top class.
Jing Yunzhao once heard someone say that the owner of this Xiang Hai Restaurant was not a native and was instead from a powerful family in the capital. She also heard that his ancestors were from Huaning County and that he would sometimes return to hold a memorial for his ancestors. So for his convenience, he built this huge restaurant.
"Yunzhao!" Once she entered the door, Xiao Haiqing jumped out. "You came so late. I thought you stood me up!"
