It turned out that Fang Yitong's childhood friend came from a family that had been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations. A client urgently needed ambergris for medicinal purposes and, remembering that Chen Hong lived by the sea, asked her to inquire about the availability of ambergris there.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong thought, "I know the answer to this question! I was just dozing off when someone brought me a pillow. The timing is too perfect!" She then learned that Fang Yitong's childhood friend had an extraordinary relationship with his family. This person was trustworthy, and the price he was willing to pay was not low. He would definitely not rip people off.

With Fang Yitong acting as guarantor, Chen Hong decided to go to Beijing in the next few days. Having this triple-guarantee client would be a perfect opportunity to sell her ambergris. Otherwise, this precious medicinal herb would go to waste. Selling it would allow her to both treat patients and increase her wealth—a win-win situation, so why not?

After settling things at home, Chen Hong once again boarded a train to Beijing alone. She transferred in Tianjin, and after half a day of travel, finally set foot on Beijing soil again.

Chen Hong booked a hotel first, then called her sister to arrange to meet Fang Yitong's childhood friend at his home that evening. At 7 p.m. that night, Chen Hong and her sister, carrying their child, arrived at Fang Yitong's house.

Upon entering, they were warmly welcomed by Fang Yitong and his family. In the living room sat two men, one a middle-aged man in his fifties, and the other a young man in his thirties. The middle-aged man had a gentle demeanor and wore a casual version of a Zhongshan suit. The young man was very tall, weighing over 140 pounds, and wore a jacket; his face was stern and serious.

The man in the Zhongshan suit exuded a strong herbal scent, and Chen Hong immediately recognized him as Fang Yitong's childhood friend—the buyer who had contacted her to purchase ambergris. The young man must be one of his nephews or nieces!

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Hong learned from Fang Yitong's introduction that the middle-aged man's surname was Wu, and that the people with him were his nephews and nieces. Chen Hong didn't inquire about the people who were unrelated to her. After getting to know everyone, Chen Hong took out the ambergris in a sealed bag from her backpack.

"Dr. Wu, we haven't examined this ambergris before. You can find a professional appraisal agency to have it appraised first."

Dr. Wu put on medical gloves, carefully opened the sealed bag, held the ambergris in his hands, examined it carefully, and occasionally smelled it.

Then, from his medical kit, he took out a scalpel and gently scraped off some powder from several different locations.

He even licked a little bit to taste it, then put all the powder into a small, sealed evidence bag and carefully put it into the physiotherapy box.

"I won't stand on ceremony with you, I'll call you Chen Hong like Lao Fang does. Although it hasn't been professionally appraised yet, based on my experience, this is indeed a piece of very high-quality ambergris."

However, the specifics still need careful analysis. I'll take this powder back and have it analyzed overnight. I know you're from Rongcheng, and it's not easy for you to come to Beijing. I can get back to you by 10 AM tomorrow, and then we can discuss the price based on the specific quality. Does that sound acceptable to you?

"Mr. Wu, please do as you wish. We have no objections. We will wait for your news tomorrow morning."

The next morning at 9:30, Chen Hong received a call from her sister, who told her that the test results were in and that she should wait for Fang Yitong at the hotel entrance. Her sister and he had already driven to pick her up. The three of them went directly to the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine shop to discuss the price, and she was reminded not to forget to bring ambergris.

Chen Hong immediately went downstairs to wait at the lobby entrance. Fifteen minutes later, Fang Yitong arrived in his car with his younger sister, Xiao Yun, to pick her up. Traffic in Beijing is still very congested, and it took almost twenty minutes to reach the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine shop in Xicheng District.

The two sisters followed Fang Yitong directly into the reception room. In addition to the two from the previous night, there was also a man in his fifties with a very serious expression.

Dr. Wu handed Chen Hong a two-page appraisal report. Although Chen Hong read it carefully, to be honest, she didn't really understand it. But she recognized the conclusion: top-grade ambergris. The effective ingredients, with the arrows pointing upwards, should be significantly higher than ordinary quality. Seeing this result, Chen Hong felt relieved. Oh well, the price certainly wouldn't be low.

After weighing it on the spot, Chen Hong's piece of ambergris weighed 3764 grams. Dr. Wu said somewhat apologetically, "Since we are acquaintances, we will not hide anything from you. If this piece of ambergris were to be auctioned, it could fetch at least 1000 yuan per gram. If it were to be collected and cherished, the price would be even more unpredictable."

However, as a traditional Chinese medicine shop, the highest price we can offer is 700 yuan per gram. This is the maximum price we can give, and it represents our greatest sincerity. Would you be willing to accept this price and sell us your ambergris?

Chen Hong smiled and said, "Before I came to Beijing, I heard Uncle Fang say that someone needed ambergris as a medicinal material, so I already expected that the price wouldn't be too high. But I still came anyway, which means I don't really care about how much more money I can make."

I believe that selling it to you is the only way this ambergris can truly be used. 700 yuan is a good price; I'm very satisfied, and we've decided to sell it to you.

The serious-looking middle-aged man sitting nearby, and the young man who had been with Dr. Wu the previous night, both had smiles on their faces. It seemed that everyone was quite happy to have completed the deal.

The ambergris sold for [amount] yuan, and upon receiving the transfer from the young man, Chen Hong smiled. This money earned from doing good deeds is truly wonderful! It seems that doing good deeds shouldn't stop; good people are rewarded, and even greater wealth awaits me.
