Chapter 24 He is not sick, snow ginseng can't save him
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"If Dr. Tang also thinks that the highest bidder should win, then I will naturally have no objection."
Manager Tang immediately sent someone to invite the boss, while glaring at Yun Qingqing with some displeasure:
"Our boss will be here soon. I advise you not to make any more noise or else you might anger him and be blacklisted by Huichuntang. Then you won't be able to buy herbs here again!"
"Don't bother with that." Yun Qingqing said in a light tone.
"Oh, this woman has never known what's good for her. You don't need to say more to her!" Ye Zhishen sneered.
At this moment, a girl in a yellow skirt hurried in from outside the door, and when she saw Ye Zhishen, she asked:
"How is it? Is there any ..."
She saw that he looked unhappy, so she stopped talking and her face showed anxiety and worry:
"Even Huichuntang doesn't have a hundred-year-old snow ginseng? What should we do..."
"Sister Suyao, don't worry!" Ye Zhishen said quickly, "There is snow ginseng, but it was stolen by someone. I promise to get it back for you later!"
"What?" Xu Suyao's eyes widened, and she followed his gaze to look at Yun Qingqing, her eyes revealing anger, "She was the one who stole the hundred-year-old snow ginseng?"
She walked up to Yun Qingqing aggressively:
"How dare you rob things in the street under the emperor's feet? Hand over the things immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Yun Qingqing chuckled and said:
"Huichuntang clearly marked the price. What's the problem with me paying for the goods? Even if they don't want to do business with me, it's the boss's business. It's your turn to intervene."
Xu Suyao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Zhishen with a frown:
"She paid for it?"
At this moment, Doctor Tang rushed over from the back hall and said in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
"Uncle Tang!" Ye Zhishen immediately greeted him with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met. I'm honored to meet you!"
When Doctor Tang saw him, his expression softened a little and he nodded and said "hmm".
Ye Zhishen glanced at Yun Qingqing proudly, and was about to start talking about the whole story, but he saw Doctor Tang look at Yun Qingqing twice, suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted him enthusiastically:
"It's Miss Yun who's here! The people below are neglecting you. Please go to the private room and wait. I'll receive you in person after I finish dealing with things here!"
Ye Zhishen:……?
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"Mr. Tang, you are too polite. I didn't mean to bother you to come forward. It's just that you, the manager, feel that the 100-year-old snow ginseng is a loss of 10,000 taels of silver, so you want to sell it to Mr. Ye for 20,000."
Doctor Tang's face immediately darkened and he glared at Steward Tang:
"We at Huichuntang have always clearly marked our prices. When have we ever taught you to raise the price?"
When Manager Tang saw Divine Doctor Tang's attitude towards Yun Qingqing, he knew something was wrong. He rolled his eyes a few times, his face fell, and he said aggrievedly:
"I am also doing this for your own good! We only have this one hundred-year-old snow ginseng in the whole capital. It is a rare treasure with a high price. Someone offered 20,000 taels and didn't think it was expensive. That means your price of 10,000 taels is really too cheap!"
"I am afraid that Huichuntang will suffer a loss, so I want to let the highest bidder win, so as not to bury the precious medicinal materials!"
"You're still quibbling!" Doctor Tang pointed at him and was so angry that his heart ached.
Yun Qingqing said coldly:
"If this was originally an auction of medicinal herbs, there would be nothing wrong with you doing this, but this hundred-year-old snow ginseng has already been priced, but you are raising the price just because you see the money. This will not only humiliate the good reputation of your family that has been built up over the years, but will also ruin the fortune of the entire Huichun Hall! Do you still think you have done nothing wrong?"
If it were not for this, she would not have insisted on offering only 10,000 taels. She would have bid with silver long ago, as she was not short of money.
Manager Tang was speechless, but Ye Zhishen said:
"You're just making alarmist remarks. How can buying medicine affect your luck?"
Doctor Tang glared:
"What do you know? Miss Yun is absolutely right! She is the benefactor of my Tang family. If you cause trouble for her again, you are going against me!"
Ye Zhishen was stunned. He just thought that Uncle Tang was too polite to this ugly girl, but he didn't expect that he said with his own mouth that she was the benefactor of the Tang family!
Doctor Tang turned to look at Yun Qingqing and immediately put on a smile:
"I was just worried that I wouldn't have the chance to thank you properly, Miss. Since you need this hundred-year-old snow ginseng, just take it!"
As he said this, he stuffed the banknote on the table back into her hand.
Yun Qingqing put the banknote back into his hand and said with a calm smile:
"It is useless to receive without merit and practice. I still have to pay for it. Besides, I will have to come to you often to buy herbs in the future. I can't just take them for free."
Doctor Tang couldn't refuse when she said that. He nodded and turned around to give the order:
"Ms. Yun will be the VIP guest of Huichuntang from now on. She will get the biggest discount on everything she buys! Go get the VIP ID card!"
Yun Qingqing did not refuse anymore. She collected a bunch of herbs and VIP cards and was about to leave Huichuntang.
But someone blocked the way.
It was Ye Zhishen and Xu Suyao in the yellow skirt.
"Is there something?" Yun Qingqing asked calmly.
"How much are you willing to sell that hundred-year-old snow ginseng for? Just name a price." Xu Suyao said bluntly.
"Not for sale." Yun Qingqing refused without hesitation.
This snow ginseng is of great use to her and it is impossible for her to transfer it.
Xu Suyao didn't expect that she would refuse without even bargaining. Her face turned unhappy and she pursed her lips tightly, showing no intention of giving way.
Ye Zhishen was angry:
"Why are you like this? People want the hundred-year-old snow ginseng to save people, not for free. I told you to name the price, what else do you want?"
Yun Qingqing looked at him coldly from behind the veil:
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I said I won't sell it. So, Master Ye is planning to rob it by force?"
"You!" Ye Zhishen was furious and took a step forward, but was stopped by Xu Suyao.
She bit her lip and looked straight at Yun Qingqing:
"I think Miss Yun also needs this snow ginseng. I won't force you. Just sell me a petal. You can name the price."
Yun Qingqing looked at her steadily for a moment and said without any emotion:
"This snow ginseng is really important to me. I won't sell even a petal of it."
Xu Suyao's eyes darkened, and just as she was about to speak, Yun Qingqing spoke first:
"Besides, this hundred-year-old snow ginseng is useless for Mr. Xu's illness."
"What did you say?" Xu Suyao's face changed.
Her grandfather's illness could only be cured by this hundred-year-old snow ginseng, but now some people say that snow ginseng is useless, and she doesn't want to believe it.
Yun Qingqing raised her hand slightly, counted silently for a moment, and said calmly:
"Your grandfather has been ill for seven days. The location of the pain is different every day, right?"
"That's right! How did you know?" Xu Suyao took a breath, and her beautiful eyes widened.
The details of my grandfather's illness were not told to anyone except a few people in my family, not even Ye Zhishen.
While she was surprised, she heard Yun Qingqing say:
"Your grandfather is not sick at all, so the hundred-year-old snow ginseng can't save him. If his condition is not treated quickly, he will not survive tonight."
