Chapter 23 Make an offer



No matter what the difference in clothing is, there is one kind of temperament that is exactly the same, that is, when looking at people, the eyes are cold and indifferent, with obvious alienation.

But when the brother and sister looked at each other, their gazes were very gentle, especially the scene where the brother was taking care of his sister, which made people feel so warm and pleasing to the eye.

"Hmm?" After not seeing Hu Liu's response for a long time, Xiang Wentian looked up, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Ah? Oh... I've sent someone to look for him. He'll be here soon, very soon." Hu Liu felt a chill on his back before he came to his senses and hurriedly explained.

But he was confused by his own reaction. The other party was really just a teenager.

Ten minutes later, the door opened and a gust of cold air came in. In addition to the man who had been sent out by Hu Liu, a thin old man with a hunched back in his sixties also flashed in.

"Doctor Sun, you are here! A distinguished guest has sent a large amount of goods, please take a look!" Hu Liu was very respectful to the man who called himself Doctor Sun.

"Big stuff? What big stuff can there be in Tongyuan? Hu Liu, don't lie to me in this snowy day."

Although he said this, Sun Tuozi's eyes, full of brilliance, had already looked Leng You and Xiang Wentian up and down, and then a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

"How could that be! I've told you, these are goods brought by our distinguished guests. You'll see when you see them. I guarantee you'll be surprised." Hu Liu quickly brought Sun Tuozi to the table.

"This... ahem... is a goblin!" When Sun Tuozi saw the ginseng on the table, his eyes immediately lit up. He was about to reach out his hand, but withdrew it in time and put it behind his back.

He cleared his throat and put on a nonchalant expression.

"Make your bid!" Xiang Wentian picked up the tea and took a sip without even looking at Sun Tuozi.

"Don't be fooled by the rumors that this thing is so miraculous. In fact, it is really not much better than a carrot. This..."

"Are you a doctor?

Have you ever read Shennong's Herbal Classic? It says that ginseng can nourish the five internal organs, calm the spirit, stabilize the soul, stop panic, remove evil spirits, improve eyesight, make people happy, and improve intelligence. Long-term consumption can make the body lighter and prolong life.

Each part of it has different medicinal effects——

Ginseng leaves can sober up. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: Although ginseng leaves have the remaining energy of ginseng, their power can only move the skin, fur and limbs, and their nature is superficial and dispersing, which is far less powerful than ginseng. They can only be used to produce body fluids, moisten dryness, and benefit the lungs and liver.

Ginseng and ginseng can induce vomiting. The Ben Jing Feng Yuan mentioned: Ginseng and ginseng can consume qi, and is a special emetic. It is suitable for people with weak diaphragm and upper diaphragm. People in Jiangyou call it bamboo joint ginseng. It can treat diarrhea, pus and blood, metrorrhagia, spermatorrhea, etc., without any hindrance... People in the past used it to induce vomiting because of its ascending nature, and it has the function of purgation while tonifying.

Ben Jing Feng Yuan also mentioned: Ginseng root can be used to treat symptoms such as vomiting due to stomach deficiency, coughing and blood loss, and it can also be effective because of its nature of descending. If it is used to treat chronic dysentery, spermatorrhea, and metrorrhagia, it often makes the symptoms worse because of its bitter taste and descending effect.

In addition, ginseng seeds can cure acne and ginseng flowers are fragrant and can open the mind.

Modern medical research has also proved that ginseng not only contains ginsenosides, but also contains nutrients such as sugars, multiple amino acids, proteins, multiple vitamins and trace elements. It has the effects of nourishing and strengthening, improving physical and mental labor ability, reducing fatigue, and regulating the central nervous system.

It has good therapeutic effects on cardiovascular diseases, stomach and liver diseases, diabetes, and different types of neurasthenia.

You say this is no better than a carrot?"

Leng You's childish and clear voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Sun Tuozi's words. At the same time, it seemed as if a child slapped the adult with cunning written all over his face.

"Puff!" Hu Liu spat out a mouthful of tea. He only dared to glance at Sun Tuozi secretly, and his bumpy face was so hideous that he tried to hold back a smile.

When he turned to look at Leng You, his eyes were already filled with amazement and disbelief.

Whose family gave birth to two such evil children? Should we drag our own child who has gone off to roll around somewhere, take off his pants, and give him a good rub on the butt with our shoe soles dipped in cold water?

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..." Before Sun Tuozi had time to drink his tea, he was almost choked to death by his own saliva.

The old man was even more furious. He had been in Bei'an County for decades, and even the county magistrate had to show respect to him. But he was beaten up by a little kid who hadn't even grown all his hair. He was treated like a grandson. If this got out, he would not be able to stay in Bei'an County.

The most humiliating thing was that he actually saw contempt and disdain in the little brat's eyes.

Xiang Wentian: “…”

His expression remained calm, and only Leng You caught a glimpse of a smile and indulgence in those eyes as dark as ink.

"Brother, this is a fake doctor. He can't even tell the difference between ginseng and carrots. Ginseng would be wasted in the hands of such a person. We should not sell it to him.

Besides... he doesn't look like he can afford it."

Leng You's eyes were clear, but his tone was full of disdain and suspicion.

"Puff!" Hu Liu sprayed water out for the second time.

"Puff! Cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough..." Sun Tuozi swallowed a mouthful of old blood, but it filled his mouth.

"Yeah!" Xiang Wentian actually nodded and pretended to stand up.

"Hey, hey, hey...you two, you may have misunderstood. In the entire Bei'an County, if you say that Doctor Sun doesn't know the value of the goods, then there is no one else who can. He is joking...joking. Haha...haha..."

Seeing Leng You and Xiang Wentian were about to leave, Hu Liu immediately came to his senses and hurried forward, laughing and saying nice things.

"Two little kids, don't go, don't go. I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!" Sun Tuozi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and completely withdrew his contempt for the two children.

She was about to hold Xiang Wentian's hand, but when she received the other party's sinister gaze, she stopped immediately. After a while, she pulled her hand back awkwardly.

"Doctor Sun, please give me a price!"

Hu Liu secretly winked at Sun Tuozi, telling him to stop playing any tricks, because these two were not ordinary little kids who knew nothing.

The most important thing is that he was introduced by Xing Da. For someone who can make Xing Da be extremely cautious, his background must be very powerful.

But would such a powerful family be short of this little money?

"This... four... uh... six hundred?" Just as he was about to spit out the amount of four hundred, he saw Leng You looking at him with contempt again. The old blood stuck in Sun Tuozi's throat surged up, so he had to swallow it back and say a new amount.

"He really can't even take out a thousand dollars." Leng You didn't even look at Sun Tuozi, but turned his gaze to Hu Liu. What you mean is, you brought such an old liar?

"What, one thousand yuan? You want one thousand yuan for a ginseng that's less than a hundred years old? You..."
