Chapter 55 – Transaction Complete (钱货两清)
Old Man Xu touched the ginseng like a pervert checking out a woman. After examining it thoroughly for a while, his eyes glowed with a green light.
“Three million! Take the money, leave the product!” Old Man Xu said a number casually. His hand wouldn’t loosen its grip on the ginseng no matter what.
But the way he looked at Jing Yunzhao was becoming even more passionate as if she was a treasure chest. He sighed. It was rare to see sothing as good as this and even in the capital, it would be a rare sight. He wouldn’t slice it piece by piece to eat it, that would be a waste. It was best to soak it in alcohol. It was healthy and it would last for a longer ti!
At that mont, Jing Yunzhao was already dizzy from that three million number. In her past life, not even three million, she had never even touched thirty thousand!
Despite that, she didn’t lose her sanity, “Old Man Xu, if you don’t have that much money, we don’t have to do this. Please don’t sell this house just because of this ginseng.”
Wasn’t this Old Man Xu just an old geezer? How much money can he have?
If because of this ginseng, this old man lost his house and lived every night in the cold, she would be unable to live with herself. This Old Man Xu was pretty good to her after all.
When Old Man Xu heard this, he hu?ed angrily. Just when he wanted to scold her, he rembered the ginseng in his hand and cald his rage. He used his rarely used gentle voice and said, “You’re looking down on . This kind of money ans nothing to ! Xing Yuan (行渊)! You’re responsible for transferring the money to this girl.”
The one nad Xing Yuan was indeed the middle-aged man beside Old Man Xu.
He had a cold expression. Only towards Old Man Xu did he show respect. His expressions also changed accordingly. But now that Jing Yunzhao had gained the favor of Old Man Xu, this Xing Yuan seed gentler than before.
“I don’t have a bank card.” Jing Yunzhao was feeling a little panicky.
“Then Xing Yuan will take you to make one.” Old Man Xu waved his hand impatiently and returned inside holding the ginseng.
Jing Yunzhao felt a bit hopeless, “Uncle Xing Yuan, is the ginseng really worth this much?”
“The one you brought has aged enough. Its appearance is also undamaged, thus its worth naturally wouldn’t be low. But sothing as good as this cannot have a large quantity.” Uncle Xing Yuan was astonished for a while before replying.
Jing Yunzhao suddenly felt like an alarm had hit her. Selling this ginseng, once was enough. If she did it too many tis, even Old Man Xu wouldn’t help but ask questions.
However, this Old Man Xu and Uncle Xing Yuan were all good people. The herbs she brought before weren’t worth as much as this ginseng, but their qualities were all rare and excellent. Yet these two accepted them without hesitation. If it was soone else, they would’ve already asked, unable to control their curiosity.
This alley was located in a pretty remote place, but there was a bank nearby. Even though Jing Yunzhao was young, with Xing Yuan accompanying her, no one cared too much about them.
She needed a lot of money for school. She also needed so for her daily expenses. So she kept a few hundred thousand on her and split the rest of the money into two separate cards.
After the transaction was done, Jing Yunzhao headed towards Tian Xiang Lou as scheduled.
Tian Xiang Lou was in the county center yet it took up a lot of space. The decorations inside were nonetheless top class.
Jing Yunzhao once heard soone say that the owner of this Tian Xiang Lou was not a native and was instead from a powerful family in the capital. She also heard that his ancestors were from Huaning County and that he would sotis return to hold a morial for his ancestors. So for his convenience, he built this huge restaurant.
“Yunzhao!” Once she entered the door, Xiao Haiqing jumped out. “You ca so late. I thought you stood up!”
