Chapter 31 A High-Profile Pursuit



Tang Li's expression immediately changed, his eyes filled with wild joy, and fearing he had misheard, he asked again to confirm, "Really?"

"Of course it's real, I just found it yesterday." Su Yan said unhurriedly, "The dendrobium was pulled up by the roots. How many kilograms do you want? I'll weigh them for you, and I'll keep the rest to plant at home."

Dendrobium is also one of the medicinal herbs added to braised dishes.

Having a whole tree meant she wouldn't have to go to such dangerous places to search so often, so she wouldn't sell them all.

Tang Li rubbed his hands excitedly, "How many kilograms?"

Dendrobium is not a particularly rare medicinal herb; what is rare is wild Dendrobium, whose nutritional value is not on the same level as that of cultivated Dendrobium, which is why it is not cheap.

He really likes this little girl. Every time she comes, she brings him surprises. Could she be his benefactor?

"It's about ten kilograms. How about I give you half?"

"Sure!" Tang Li agreed without hesitation, then tentatively asked, "I'll give you the money first. Two 200-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum will cost you 4,000. How about we calculate the price of wild Dendrobium officinale at 130 per jin?"

Having collaborated with her multiple times, he trusted Su Yan's character, which is why he dared to pay first and use her later.

Su Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Tang Li paid a high price this time, so she naturally had no objections; after all, no one would lose out.

Moreover, these things were meant to be "gifts" to important figures... oh no, to be precise, to the owner of Baicaotang. It seems that Baicaotang has quite a background.

Baicaotang is a chain store, with stores almost all over the country, except for some really remote areas.

In this day and age, it's not easy to build such a large business. Money, connections, and resources are all indispensable. Su Yan admires them a little, but she also envies them for being able to benefit from the support of a powerful figure.

However, she had never heard of the name Baicaotang in her previous life. Could it be that she had not transmigrated to the 1980s of history, but... another balanced world?

She suddenly shuddered, goosebumps rising on her skin.

Tang Li, who had just finished counting the money, frowned upon seeing this and asked, "Miss Su, are you alright?"

Su Yan abruptly snapped out of her thoughts, and when she looked up again, her face was terribly pale, even though it had been rosy just moments before.

She seemed a little dazed, but managed a smile. "It's nothing. I probably caught a cold because I didn't keep warm enough when I went into the mountains yesterday."

Tang Li frowned and said, "You don't look like you have a cold, you look more like you have low blood sugar. Have you not eaten?"

Low blood sugar?

"I ate before I came to find you."

As Su Yan spoke, she reached out and touched her own pulse.

Weak and slow, as if the body is unable to function its internal organs, and the skin is very cold.

Tang Li's words only made her feel so hungry she could devour a whole cow!

Su Yan belatedly realized that perhaps she had just been wondering if she had transmigrated to a parallel world, and thus exhausted her physical and mental strength.

Moreover, while she was thinking just now, she felt a fierce pulling sensation within her body, as if it wanted to rip her soul out of this body...

So it's true that she traveled to a parallel world. This world realized she had been discovered and wanted to kill her, but failed.

The more Su Yan thought about it, the more she realized it made sense, and she couldn't help but curse the Divine Metal in her heart!

However, she didn't dare to think about it any further; she didn't want to lose her life.

Tang Li made her a cup of glucose water, and Su Yan's complexion gradually became rosy after drinking it.

Tang Li: "..." This was the first time he had ever felt that glucose was so magical.

Seeing that she was alright, he handed her the money. "I paid for the Dendrobium according to the price of seven catties, which is 4910 yuan in total."

He offered a high price this time, so he didn't give any extra payment for his trouble.

Su Yan didn't mind, she accepted it and stuffed it into her pocket, feeling a great sense of security.

She's now a millionaire (equivalent to ten thousand yuan in the 1980s).

"Oh, I almost forgot the important thing," Tang Li said with a smile. "You came here to ask me about the house, right?"

Su Yan immediately looked at him, her clear eyes sparkling with joy, "There's progress?"

"Yes, I went to see that house. It's 150 square meters, quiet and safe, with a good environment. The house is about 7/10 in terms of newness."

Tang Li paused for a moment, then looked a little embarrassed under Su Yan's expectant gaze: "Everything is fine, except that family wants to sell the house and the land together."

"House and land included?" Su Yan asked curiously, "Self-built? What is the total land area?"

"That's right. The land is 200 square meters in total. They built a three-story house on 150 of it, and the rest is empty."

How much will it cost?

"Six thousand."

Su Yan's smile vanished: "..."

This house sold for an astronomical price!

In this day and age, a plot of land of 200 square meters plus a three-story house would cost a maximum of 4,000 yuan.

“But that house is really nice. You can see it before you decide. If you’re free now, I’ll take you there. It’s not far from here,” Tang Li said.

He thought Su Yan would still buy it after seeing it.

After all, he liked that house too. If he didn't already have a house, and it was one he found for Su Yan, he would have bought it anyway.

Su Yan hesitated for a moment, "Okay, but my mother is still at the state-run restaurant. I'll take her back first and then come over."

Tang Li smiled and said, "Sure, no rush."

...

When Su Yan came out, she stopped the oxcart. She went to the state-run restaurant and asked her mother to take the things she bought and go back first. Before leaving, she packed up the leftovers and ordered a few more dishes for Li Juan to take back with her, so that she wouldn't have to cook dinner.

Li Juan didn't know why her daughter was in such a hurry, but she didn't ask any questions. She obediently took the oxcart back home and told her after getting on the cart, "You can't come home too late, or I'll punish you."
