Chapter 117 Selling Ginseng at a High Price on the Train

"This ginseng slice is a rare thousand-year-old ginseng. I gave it to this grandfather because he treated me to steamed buns. If you want it, you have to pay for it."

Ye Jin opened the bag she was carrying, revealing a corner of the ginseng slice. She showed it to everyone for a second and then quickly closed it again.

Some people had already extended their hands halfway, just wanting to come and see the excitement, but now they can only let go in disappointment.

"How much is one? I want to buy one to try."

There was a middle-aged man in his 40s who was very curious about Ye Jin's ginseng slices.

"This is a thousand-year-old ginseng. You can't even cut a few complete slices from a whole ginseng. I'm selling it for 100 yuan a slice."

"100 yuan a piece? So expensive?"

Everyone gasped. No matter how effective the ginseng tablets were, they had already discouraged a large number of people.

The rest of the people can afford the money, but are reluctant to spend it like this.

You have to know that if you buy a whole ginseng for 100 yuan, people still have to pay for the change. A piece of ginseng sold for 100 yuan is ridiculously expensive and unheard of.

"Yes, it's 100 yuan a piece. There are ginsengs that cost 100 yuan a stem. Not only are they good quality, but they are definitely not as big as mine. The color of the water they make is not as beautiful as mine, and they don't have such a strong ginseng flavor."

"Don't underestimate me because I'm just a piece of ginseng. If we really talk about its medicinal value, one piece of my ginseng is worth ten ginseng sticks of others."

If Ye Jin said this alone, no one would believe her.

It’s just that the old man has been sitting in this carriage for several days, and his condition was indeed not very good before. Now, after drinking a cup of ginseng tea, his energy and spirit have improved visibly.

This little girl boasted about the magical effects of her ginseng. In fact, it was not just bragging, the actual effect was quite good.

Precisely because of the visible effect, no one stood up to refute Ye Jin even though his words seemed a bit exaggerated.

Ye Jin's mouth was dry from talking so much, but everyone just looked and didn't buy, so she suddenly lost interest.

Ye Jin held her backpack tightly and urged everyone to disperse quickly.

"If you think it's too expensive and you don't want to buy it, forget it. I won't force you. But please don't gather here and don't delay me from eating my buns."

I have given away ginseng that costs a hundred yuan a piece, so it shouldn’t be too much to eat one more bun.

Ye Jin thought so in his heart and put another bun into his mouth.

Her casual attitude suggested she might be angry.

A middle-aged man who originally wanted to buy but was just waiting and watching quickly took out ten Great Unity banknotes from his wallet and handed them over.

"I want a piece of ginseng."

"I want one too."

After someone started this, others did not hide their desires. However, the quantity everyone wanted was very small, and those who bought ginseng slices all accepted a cup of boiling water in tacit understanding.

The golden ginseng slices were put into the boiling water, and in an instant the whole carriage was filled with the strong smell of ginseng.

Those who bought ginseng were like old cadres, each holding an enamel cup and drinking ginseng tea slowly.

The tea was boiling hot and everyone drank it slowly. A thought came to everyone's mind: this ginseng that cost one hundred yuan a piece was indeed not ordinary ginseng.

A sip of ginseng tea can produce immediate results.

All the fatigue in the body was swept away, and everyone had a rosy complexion and looked full of energy.

Some people drink it themselves and then give it to their relatives to taste.

Those who initially thought that the 100 yuan was a waste now feel that it was worth it.

"Little girl, how many ginseng slices do you have? I want them all!"

The first old man who got a free sample saw that everyone was so satisfied with the ginseng slices. He knew that if he delayed any longer, the remaining ginseng slices would definitely be gone, so he decided to act preemptively.

"To be honest, I'm going to the Northeast this time just to do some ginseng business, so I brought a lot of stuff with me."

Ye Jin took off the backpack on his back and took out two packets of ginseng slices from it.

"These packages of ginseng are made from slices of a whole thousand-year-old ginseng. If you buy them individually, they're 100 yuan each. There are 15 slices in total, plus some small pieces. If you want the whole bag, it's 1,500 yuan a bag, which means all the small pieces are free."

The price offered by Ye Jin was unaffordable for many people. There were many rich people who could afford to take the sleeper berth, but there were only a limited number of people who were willing to spend 1,500 to buy a ginseng.

"Do these two bags of ginseng have the same effect as the ginseng slices you just gave me?"

“Same.”

Ye Jin agreed, but in her heart she was thinking, "How can they be the same? Of course the bag I gave you is small."

"Okay, wait for me for a moment."

The old man took out 3,000 yuan from his suitcase and gave it to him without saying a word.

Ye Jin counted the quantity and handed over two packets of ginseng slices on the spot.

"Do you have any ginseng slices left? I want a bag too."

Someone drank the last drop of ginseng tea in the cup and was so intoxicated that he couldn't speak.

This piece of ginseng can probably be used for a week if used sparingly. If you can drink a cup of tea made with thousand-year-old ginseng every day, you will feel energetic every day and it can also prolong your life.

Ginseng is originally a good tonic, but the ginseng they bought before had limited effects, which made them lower their expectations for ginseng.

Now this piece of ginseng gives them reason to believe that drinking a cup of ginseng tea every day is indeed good for the body.

"Yes, of course."

The other party gave him 1,500 yuan, and Ye Jin gave him a bag of ginseng.
