Chapter 57 Mr. Huo
Just like the old man she met before, he was very good at using a spear.
Although he looks tall and fierce on the outside, he is actually very soft-hearted on the inside.
pity········
In the end, she still killed the old man for the mission.
Mr. Huo's hard heart was softened by her words and he sat down with her.
"Yaoyao girl, can I call you that?"
Fearing she might misunderstand him, Mr. Huo quickly explained, "I don't mean anything else. I just felt like I got along with you the first time I saw you. You're so soft and sweet, unlike those brats in my family. They're all so smelly, and it makes an old man sick just looking at them."
Huo Yanchen, who was following behind Grandpa Huo and pretending to be invisible, had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. When did his grandfather start pinching his throat when speaking?
I know that grandpa likes soft and sweet granddaughters, and these grandsons are not bad either, okay?
Huo Yanchen didn't dare to say anything. It was better to pretend to be invisible.
"Grandpa, you can call me whatever you like. Please have some tea." Baihu Yaoyao personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old man with both hands.
Mr. Huo was delighted and quickly took the tea bowl and took a sip. "Not bad! This tea is delicious."
"Girl, I came here just to see those treasures. I haven't slept well for several days because I was thinking about those treasures."
"Can you sell me the girl?"
Mr. Huo got straight to the point.
Ever since he saw those treasures, he couldn't sleep for nights.
How could he not be excited when he was finally going to see the baby he had been longing for?
Baihu Yaoyao could see that this old man was a man of temperament and had a quick temper.
"Of course! But I see those things are just some rare medicinal herbs, not really treasures. I'll have someone bring them over right away."
The white fox gave Zi Mei a look, and Zi Mei understood and went straight to find Manager Chen.
Old Master Huo stroked his beard, his expression becoming more serious. "To be honest, little girl, I've been searching for these herbs for a long time. An old friend of mine died because of the lack of these herbs. The doctors at the time said they were legendary herbs and impossible to find. I refused to believe in them, so I traveled all over the country to prove that these herbs existed and that I could find them."
"What a pity! I found these herbs today, and my old friend has long since passed away. I bought these herbs to put an end to my obsession."
After hearing this, Baihu Yaoyao also understood the old man's persistence, and didn't know how to persuade him.
"Old man, my friend is gone, please accept my condolences."
"Grandpa, take these herbs back with you."
Just as the doctor said, these medicinal herbs are indeed legendary.
If she hadn't brought it from the demon tribe, it would probably never have appeared on this continent.
At this time, Zi Mei came in with a tray with three white jade boxes on it.
"Boss, this is what the old man wants." After putting down the tray, he stood next to Baihu Yaoyao.
She had seen such a white jade box once before, and it was priceless.
The boss actually uses it to store medicinal materials?
Zi Mei's heart ached with pain.
Mr. Huo was obviously a connoisseur of valuables. He took a deep breath the moment he saw the white jade box.
"This this?"
He felt that using a white jade box to store medicinal herbs was indeed a waste of resources.
Bai Hu Yaoyao opened one of the white jade boxes and said, "Grandpa, since the herbs are fresh, they can only be stored in a white jade box. If they were dried, their efficacy would be greatly reduced. If they are stored in this white jade box, they can be preserved for thousands of years without any problem."
Dong Li Jue said that these elixirs are kept in white jade boxes and will not rot. The longer they are stored, the longer their medicinal properties will last.
These medicinal herbs were given to her by Dong Li Jue, and they were placed in these white jade boxes when he gave them to her.
Old Master Huo took a deep breath, his hands trembling as he held the white jade box. "Good stuff! It's really good stuff!"
One of the medicinal herbs the old man wanted was fire lotus. When he opened the white jade box, a puff of hot steam came out.
Huo Yanchen looked at the fiery red lotus in the box in shock.
There is only one fire lotus, and it has nine petals. Each petal looks like a flame, and the lotus pod in the center of the lotus grows nine fiery red lotus seeds.
The lotus stem is also fiery red.
beautiful!
So beautiful!
He never knew that a medicinal herb could be so beautiful.
Not only was he attracted by the fire lotus, but Old Master Huo and Zi Mei were also stunned by the beauty of the fire lotus.
After all, Mr. Huo was a man of much experience, and he quickly recovered his senses. "Girl, I'll take this! This is a banknote! You must have some good stuff here! I'll go down to the auction soon, and I want to buy some more treasures to take back."
Old Master Huo placed a stack of banknotes on the table and quickly closed the white jade box to isolate the heat from the fire lotus.
He also collected the other two boxes.
I was afraid that Baihu Yaoyao would change her mind the next moment.
Baihu Yaoyao felt a little numb when she saw the silver bills that were a foot thick in front of her.
"Old man, isn't this too much?"
The total value of these silver notes is 10 million taels of silver, and even if they are auctioned, they may not be able to sell for that much money.
This is simply becoming rich overnight.
Old Master Huo held on to the three white jade boxes and refused to let go. "Not much, not much! I'll go to the auction and buy something else."
Of course, the more good things like this, the better.
"Okay! The auction is about to start, shall we go down together?"
The auction was held on the first floor, and the second floor was for private rooms. Baihu Yaoyao reserved the most luxurious room for herself.
"Okay." Old Master Huo agreed and followed Bai Huyao downstairs.
No one would touch the white jade box in his arms.
Even his grandson cannot touch it.
Huo Yanchen was speechless.
When they arrived at the private room, they chatted and laughed, and immediately became closer to each other.
Old Master Huo liked the white fox Yaoyao more and more, and he wanted to take her home to be his granddaughter.
The Huo family hadn't had a little girl born in generations, so Grandpa Huo was extremely jealous when he saw other families had little granddaughters.
Now in his heart, he has determined that Baihu Yaoyao is his Huo family's granddaughter.
He will protect this child from now on!
Baihu Yaoyao didn't know that Mr. Huo had thought a lot, and the auction had also started at this time.
Zi Mei is today's auctioneer, and she is now introducing Dongzhu.
In order not to attract too much attention, she only took out two Dongzhu for auction at the auction.
Pearls as big as eggs are rare. One pearl may not be that valuable, but two of them together become valuable.
"Today's first lot is a pair of deep-sea pearls. Each of these pearls is very round..."
Zimei continued to introduce the advantages of Dongzhu.
"Girl, this Dongzhu is also a good thing." Although Mr. Huo likes to collect good things, he feels that this Dongzhu is not suitable for his collection.
He could easily treat this Dongzhu as a hand-held toy.
"Old man, the best is yet to come."
At today’s auction, things are only getting better.
"That's right! The good stuff is always the highlight." Mr. Huo watched the auction intently, not wanting to miss any item.
The white fox smiled.
The old man knows a lot.
I'll say it again, this book is a slow burner.
