The old man was not surprised by Chen ng’er’s answer. He had been secretly observing Chen ng’er, a three-year-old girl. When Chen ng’er saw the yard full of herbs, a hint of understanding and interest flashed in her eyes, which did not escape the old man’s eyes.
It was obvious that the old man was curious about Chen ng’er.
Chen ng’er didn’t have the ti to care about what the old man was thinking. What she was most concerned about now was whether the old man really knew the goods and whether the pharmacy could give this ginseng a reasonable price.
The old man brought Chen ng’er and her father, Chen Ping, to a room in the courtyard. When Chen ng’er saw the furnishings in the room, she knew that this was the old man’s study.
“Sit.” The old man gestured for Chen Ping and Chen ng’er to sit down. Then, he turned his head and said to the young man who had followed him, “Xiao Liu, go make so tea. Oh right, if there’s milk at ho, give this little girl so milk.”
“Yes, sir.” The person called Xiao Liu replied and left the door.
“May I know your na?” The old man turned his head and asked Chen Ping with a smile.
“Sir, my na is Chen Ping. This is my daughter, Chen ng’er.” When Chen Ping walked into the study and saw the furnishings inside, he already looked very uncomfortable. When he sat down, his movents were very stiff. When he faced the old man’s question, he stood up and answered, “Yes, sir.” .
Chen ng’er, on the other hand, sat on a mahogany chair with a swagger. She raised her eyes and looked at the furnishings around the study. When she saw sothing that caught her eye, she nodded her head in praise. If she saw sothing that she did not like, she would pout her little mouth, she had a displeased look on her face.
“Then I’ll call you Chen Ping. Don’t be nervous. Feel free to call anything you like, just like your daughter. Oh right, don’t call Mister either. Everyone outside calls Elder Liu. You can call Elder Liu too.” Elder Liu liked Chen ng’er very much in his heart, in passing, he also found Chen Ping, Chen ng’er’s father, much more pleasing to the eye.
“Okay, elder Liu,” Chen Ping said,
Chen ng’er finished observing the furnishings around the study and felt that it was ti to get down to business. “Dad, Take the thing out and show it to Grandpa Liu.”
With Chen ng’er’s reminder, Chen Ping rembered what they were here for. “Oh. Okay,” he agreed and reached out to take out sothing wrapped in cloth from the cloth bag he carried on his back. Then he handed it to Elder Liu. “Elder Liu, take a look.”
Elder Liu took the thing wrapped in cloth. He didn’t take it to heart at first. It was only because he liked Chen ng’er that he agreed to bring the father and daughter to the backyard. However, when Elder Liu opened the cloth and saw the ginseng wrapped inside, his eyes suddenly lit up, he couldn’t care less about his body that was no longer young. He stood up from his seat. He held the ginseng with a face full of surprise. “This, this.”
When Chen ng’er saw Elder Liu’s reaction, she knew that he was soone who knew what was good. This made her sigh in relief. Now, she didn’t have to worry anymore. Just by looking at Elder Liu’s reaction, this ginseng would definitely be sold for a good price.
Chen ng’er felt the pressure in her heart disappear, and she relaxed. At this mont, Xiao Liu walked in with tea and milk. He handed the cup of milk to Chen ng’er. Chen ng’er did not stand and bow. She took the milk and brought it to her mouth.
Chen Ping did not understand why Elder Liu’s reaction was so strong. He did not understand ginseng. He only knew that wild ginseng was a tonic and could be sold for money. As for the age of the ginseng, he, a farr, did not know.. “Elder Liu, what about this ginseng?”
