Chapter 230 Solution (VIII)
Lu Xiaoxiao stood at the door of Baicaotang. She watched Director Chen locking his bicycle, and then she realized that the person he was talking about was someone from this century-old pharmacy.
After locking the car, Director Chen took Lu Xiaoxiao into Baicaotang, and then he said to a young man who was picking up medicine, "Xiao Ba, go call your master out and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."
After hearing what Director Chen said, Xiao Ba immediately stopped what he was doing and walked towards the back hall.
Not long after, an old man in his sixties came out from the back hall. When he saw Director Chen, he asked, "Did something happen to your mother again?"
"Mr. Yu, I am not here for my mother's matter. This time I want to ask you to help identify the age of the ginseng."
"Where is the ginseng?"
After hearing what Elder Yu said, Director Chen signaled Lu Xiaoxiao with his eyes to take out the ginseng, and then said, "Elder Yu, this is it."
Mr. Yu was originally sitting on the stool with a nonchalant expression, but when he saw the ginseng on the table, his eyes almost popped out.
He quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands, then carefully picked up the ginseng on the table.
After watching it for four or five minutes, Elder Yu put the ginseng back on the table, still unsatisfied, and said, "This ginseng is about 160 years old, and the roots are intact and well-prepared. It's a rare good thing."
"Mr. Yu, can I give this ginseng to my mother?"
"This ginseng is enough to keep her alive. Can your mother use it?"
After hearing what Mr. Yu said, Director Chen smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face. Compared with his usual stern face, it was better to have a stern face because Director Chen seldom smiled. This sudden smile seemed a bit scary no matter how you looked at it!
"Little girl, is this ginseng yours?"
"Um."
"Do you have any other ginseng besides this one?" Old Yu stared at Lu Xiaoxiao with burning eyes.
"No more, just this one."
"Where did you get this one?"
"My dad left it to me."
"Little girl, tell me where your father is. I want to find him and ask him where this ginseng came from. I am really greedy for it."
“My father died.”
"Ahem... Sorry, little girl, I didn't mean to mention your dad."
"It's okay, it happened a long time ago."
When Old Yu saw that the little girl looked calm and composed, he thought that she was just too sad, so he stopped asking her about the ginseng.
"Mr. Yu, how much does this ginseng cost?" Director Chen asked.
"At least eight thousand. If it were in Beijing, it would be at least twelve thousand."
Director Chen knew that century-old ginseng was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageously expensive. However, this price was still completely affordable for him.
"Director Chen, you just need to give me five thousand." Lu Xiaoxiao said.
After hearing this, Director Chen looked at Lu Xiaoxiao for a long time before he said, "Okay."
After the ginseng was identified and the price was agreed upon, Director Chen said goodbye to Mr. Yu and took Lu Xiaoxiao home. Because he did not bring that much cash, he had to wait until he got home to give the money to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Moreover, he had promised Lu Xiaoxiao that if the ginseng was more than a hundred years old, he would talk to her about what to do next.
After Director Chen returned home, he told the nanny not to come to the second floor, and then took Lu Xiaoxiao upstairs.
