As they spoke, Wang Chen gestured to Liu Shitou with his eyes.
As Xiao Liu stopped and looked at them with a puzzled expression, Liu Shitou unzipped his jacket to reveal an object wrapped in newspaper.
Surprise showed on the faces of the nearby workers and Xiao Liu when, as Liu Shitou unfolded the newspaper, the hidden item was fully exposed to their view.
"Is this ginseng?" Xiao Liu asked in astonishment.
The worker shook his head. "No, to be precise, this is wild grey ginseng. Although its value doesn't match that of the top-notch ginseng, it is still much higher than that of ordinary ginseng," he explained.
Xiao Liu pressed on. "We haven't purchased much of this before, have we?"
The worker shrugged with a wry smile. "It's true we haven't purchased much, but that's because this kind of wild grey ginseng is very rare. It seems the last time we saw such herbs was two years ago."
"Do you know the current price?" Xiao Liu continued to inquire.
