Although Fang Yan was a few years older than Zhang Cheng, her mischievous personality made it difficult for Zhang Cheng to treat her as his sister. At the very least, it was impossible for him to treat her like how he did Sister Yu.
When Fang Yan heard Zhang Cheng's words, she wrinkled her nose and made a face, but did not say anything.
Zhang Cheng smiled lightly and led Xiang Xiang into the medicine shop.
When Old Master Yan and Old Master Fang saw Zhang Cheng coming over, they stood up to welcome him.
"Haha, sorry for the trouble, young man."
After a few polite words, they sat down at the table in the medicine shop.
The table wasn't small. Even if there were many people sitting at it, there would still be ample space.
"Is this beautiful lady your girlfriend?" After sitting down, Old Master Yan glanced at Xiang Xiang.
"Yes," Zhang Cheng admitted straightforwardly.
Old Master Yan was delighted. He turned to his assistant behind him and said, "Bring that bracelet over."
The assistant nodded and ran out.
"This is Yang, this is Zhang, and this is Bai. They are all my friends. I heard that there is a very effective ginseng around here, so I came to join in the fun." Then, he introduced the old people beside Zhang Cheng.
"Uncle Yang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Bai, hello." Zhang Cheng greeted them.
The few of them smiled and nodded, and they did not look like ordinary people.
Very soon, Old Master Yan's assistant came back, carefully holding a palm-sized box in his hand
"It's our first time meeting, so I didn't prepare gifts. It just so happens that I have this thing on hand." Old Master Yan took the box, looked at it, and handed it to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng opened the box cautiously. Inside was an emerald bracelet.
Based on Zhang Cheng's shallow experience, he could tell that it was probably an ice-type bracelet. The green flower was quite beautiful and looked like a Zhengyang Green. However, Zhang Cheng was not familiar with high-value items like emeralds, so he could not make an accurate judgment.
However, if this was an ice-type Zhengyang Green flower bracelet, then it was undoubtedly quite valuable.
"Old Man, this is too much." Zhang Cheng directly turned him down.
Old Man Yan smiled lightly, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face. "Young man, listen to me."
"When my youngest son was in high school, I thought of exposing him to foreign culture for a few years, so I sent him abroad to study. However, I didn't expect the kid to slip up badly. Forget about his studies. He got tangled up with the ugly side of things. Even though he reformed and turned his back on it all, the damage to his body has been done.
"But after drinking a cup of your ginseng wine a few days ago, his body has improved a lot." As he said this, Old Master Yan's face revealed a relieved expression. It was obvious that he hated and loved his youngest son. He hated the fact that he didn't live up to his expectations and got involved with distasteful substances, but in the end, he was still his own son.
"So, please, you must sell me, this old man, a few more ginseng."
Xiang Xiang looked at Zhang Cheng and was a little stunned.
She had never thought that the old man in front of her had such an experience. She had never thought that the old man would actually ask Zhang Cheng for a few more ginseng sticks. She had never thought that Zhang Cheng was a ginseng seller.
Ginseng?
After hearing the old man's experience, Zhang Cheng vaguely knew that this old man was asking for more than just one or two ginseng sticks.
He would probably continue to buy them in the future, right?
Otherwise, why would he share such a tale?
Just sell them and I'll buy them.
Zhang Cheng thought about it for a while and said, "Uncle Yan, it's not like my ginseng are that miraculous. I have two sticks in my hands right now. It's all I have for now. If I find more again next time, I'll definitely reach out to you."
Hearing this, Old Man Yan's face immediately revealed a smile. He was giving gifts and exposing his own shortcomings. Wasn't it for all this?
"Young man, please rest assured. I will definitely not let you suffer a loss. Old Fang can testify for me."
As he had said, even if it was the effect of a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, it would not have the same effect as the ginseng that Zhang Cheng had harvested.
After all, Zhang Cheng's ginseng was not even from Earth.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng could not help but feel some lingering fear. Fortunately, they seemed to be very potent. If the ginseng turned into poison, it would be troublesome if people started dying after consuming it.
After calming himself down, Zhang Cheng took out the ginseng.
Two red cloth bags were taken out from the plastic bag, and then slowly unfurled.
Two ginseng that looked like two or three kilograms appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
A hundred-year-old wild ginseng usually weighed between 50 grams and 100 grams, which was about one or two kilograms.
Of course, garden ginseng, also known as planted ginseng, could be harvested in a year. Two years would already yield rather enormous ones. If it was planted well, it could even flourish for three years, but it would still only look like ginseng.
In terms of smell, color, appearance, and other aspects, there would be no visible difference, not to mention the medicinal effects.
The ten-day ginseng that Zhang Cheng had taken out from before was completely different. It had only grown for ten days in the real world, but more than thirty years had passed in the Heavenly Dimension.
Therefore, even aged regular garden ginseng could get quite expensive. If it was as effective as it looked, it would be valued over 300,000.
This time, Zhang Cheng took out two 20-day-old ginseng.
Although it wasn't big, it was small. However, it immediately attracted Fang Tan, the owner of this well-known pharmacy.
"Can I take a look?" said Old Master Fang.
Zhang Cheng naturally nodded without any objections.
Old Master Fang picked up one of them and looked at it for a moment. Then, he nodded to his old friend Yan Xu.
Good stuff.
It was almost as good as wild ginseng.
And it was old.
Yan Xu felt much more at ease when he heard that.
Although he was asking Zhang Cheng for ginseng, he was also worried that something might go wrong. Otherwise, why else would he meet at Fang Tan's pharmacy?
He just wanted his old friend to help him take a look.
Now that he had confirmed that the ginseng was the real deal, there was nothing more to say.
"How about 1.5 million?" Old Master Yan said after a moment of consideration.
Zhang Cheng frowned slightly, but in the end, he nodded in agreement. After all, at the moment, Old Master Yan should be one of his few buyers.
He had to grab hold of this patron, and then start making connections and growing from there. Nothing started easy.
When Zhang Cheng agreed, Old Master Yan chuckled with relief.
Normally, such potent ginseng was worth as much as the hundred-year-old ginseng the elite used to extend their lives.
After all, the reason why ginseng had a reputation of reviving the dead in ancient times was that it had excellent first aid effects under certain circumstances. The hundred-year-old ginseng was the most effective of all. Otherwise, how could it be so expensive to the point that it was several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more expensive than the same weight of gold?
However, in modern times, with the development of modern medicine, all kinds of drugs were developed, and all kinds of medical methods and devices had better first aid and treatment effects than ginseng. Therefore, the splendor of the hundred-year-old ginseng... was undoubtedly affected.
However, the fame of the hundred-year-old wild ginseng stood strong.
Many rich folk still competed to buy it. That was why the auction of hundred-year-old wild ginseng had an eye-popping price. Of course, we could not exclude that there was a factor of hype involved.
However, the effects of the ginseng that Zhang Cheng had sold were proven.
After drinking the wine, it had indeed improved the bodies of their older brothers. In addition, Old Master Fang had previously asked Old Master Yan to bring some back for his younger son to drink. He had also let his younger son consume those things, the younger son of Old Master Yan, whose body had been ruined beyond recognition, had his body improved to a considerable extent.
That was the reason for today's purchase.
In fact, today's purchase itself was already taking advantage of the other party.
