Chapter 160: God of Wealth

After thinking things out, Luo Qiao found a secluded spot, applied some makeup to disguise herself, plucked a century-old ginseng from her medicinal garden in the space, packed it in a box, and then left the space to head towards the black market.

Luo Qiao knew she couldn’t always rely on the herbs from her space. With her upcoming expenses, it made sense to sell a century-old ginseng now.

With the money, she could buy the house and have some leftovers. This would be convenient for her future plans.

Ning Rui mentioned that He Yujie had just returned from Beijing. When she spotted him, He Yujie was tinkering with a piece of jade. Upon seeing Luo Qiao, he quickly smiled and said, “Comrade Luo, please sit down.”

Those fish really did him a big favor, not only helping him make connections but also earning him quite a bit of money. They were his god of wealth.

He Yujie asked, “Why do you have time to come today?”

Luo Qiao didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “Do you buy medicinal herbs here?”

He Yujie glanced at Luo Qiao’s bamboo basket and said, “It depends on what kind of herbs. I don’t buy ordinary ones; they’re too much trouble.”

Luo Qiao asked, “How about ginseng then?”

He Yujie’s eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, “You really have ginseng to sell?”

Luo Qiao nodded, “What price do you offer?”

He Yujie thought for a moment, “This is a bit hard to say. But I can bring in an expert in herbs to appraise it. Rest assured, the price won’t disappoint you.”

Luo Qiao considered for a moment and said, “Alright, go ahead and bring someone for appraisal.”

He Yujie asked in a low voice, “Can I ask how old the ginseng you have is?”

Luo Qiao looked at He Yujie and asked, “Why? Does it matter whether it’s younger or older?”

He Yujie quickly waved his hand, “No, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that someone asked me recently to find ginseng for them, specifically over a hundred years old, and it’s urgent. That’s why I’m a bit excited.”

Luo Qiao listened to him and observed his expression, finding it sincere. “What a coincidence. The ginseng I have happens to be over a hundred years old.”

After Luo Qiao finished speaking and took out the prepared items from her backpack, placing them on the table and pushing them towards He Yujie, indicating for him to open and inspect them himself.

He Yujie turned to Ning Rui and said, “Go to Yikang Hall and find Senior Doctor Sun to come over. Hurry up and come back.”

After Ning Rui left, He Yujie didn’t immediately open the box. Instead, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room, outwardly appearing calm but inwardly feeling extremely excited.

If he truly found a hundred-year-old ginseng, it would be a major boon for him. This was a big favor, and now someone urgently needed that ginseng to save a life.

After about half an hour, Ning Rui returned with Senior Doctor Sun. Upon entering, Doctor Sun asked, “What’s the matter that requires this old man to make a trip?”

He Yujie said, “Uncle Sun, the main issue is that there are too many people at your place, and it’s not easy to handle some things with so many eyes around.”

He then helped the elderly man sit beside the table, pushed the box in front of him, and said, “Could you please help me determine the age of this ginseng in the box?”

Upon hearing that the box contained ginseng, Doctor Sun became alert and looked up at He Yujie for confirmation, to which He Yujie nodded.

Doctor Sun then opened the box and examined the ginseng inside. When he saw it, he became excited and carefully took out the ginseng from the box. He took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and inspected it closely.

After a short while, Senior Doctor Sun exclaimed, “Good, good, very good! This is indeed a rare hundred-year-old ginseng, probably around 120 to 130 years old. It’s truly excellent ginseng.”
