Qin Feng, afraid that Shangguan Yan would recognize it, urged her to hurry and swipe the card.
Shangguan Yan didn’t pay much attention and pulled out the POS machine, swiping the card.
Seeing the transaction was successful and the receipt was spit out, Shangguan Yan was shocked.
How could this poor kid clad in street market clothes actually have a balance to spend eighteen thousand eight hundred?
It’s true; you really can’t judge a book by its cover!
"All right, the deal is settled now. This piece of Century-Old Ginseng is yours."
"The money is in hand now, and you’ve successfully sold the ginseng. So, can you tell the truth now—is this really Century-Old Ginseng?"
"You silly boy! I intended to let you have a bit of fun. But you insisted on prying to the very bottom. Fine, I’ll tell you the truth. This ginseng, just as you said before, is rely three to five years old, certainly not Century-Old Ginseng."
Qin Feng took out a certificate from the box and asked, "What about this certificate, then?"
"A certificate? In this day and age, you still believe in certificates? Even the tags for hairy crabs can be bought with money; of course, so can these certificates. The certificate for the so-called Century-Old Ginseng is quite expensive too—a thousand yuan a piece. However, once you get this certificate, a ginseng worth three to five thousand can skyrocket in price by forty to fifty tis, selling for eighteen thousand eight hundred. After all, there are quite a lot of fools like you who have money and are easily conned."
"You fleece of eighteen thousand eight hundred and still call a fool—is that polite?"
"If you weren’t a fool, could I have fleeced you for eighteen thousand eight hundred?"
"Are you sure the fool is , not you?"
With this question, Qin Feng got Shangguan Yan sowhat bamboozled.
"I’m the fool? I’ve just fleeced you of eighteen thousand eight hundred, and you’re saying I’m the fool?"
"This ginseng, indeed, isn’t Century-Old Ginseng—it’s a Thousand-Year Ginseng. Its value should be upwards of ten million. Now I’m giving you an opportunity; give one million, and I’ll sell it to you."
Qin Feng did this just to irritate Shangguan Yan, as he was certain that this woman could not recognize the Thousand-Year Ginseng.
Because, after getting his hands on the ginseng, Qin Feng discreetly released so Xuanhuang Qi, giving it a makeover.
Now, no matter from which angle you looked, the ginseng seed only five years old.
Thousand-Year Ginseng?
These words caused Shangguan Yan’s willowy eyebrows to twitch slightly.
The ginseng had been in the display case for a long ti.
However, as its value wasn’t great, Shangguan Yan had never examined it closely.
Though Qin Feng claid it was Thousand-Year Ginseng, she didn’t believe it, but just to be sure, she picked up the ginseng and inspected it ticulously.
After examining it at 360 degrees without a dead angle, she also brought the ginseng close to her nose to sll its scent.
Finally, she was certain.
This ginseng was only five years old, but its quality was not bad, its value could be around ten thousand yuan.
"How about it, it’s Thousand-Year Ginseng, right? Buying my Thousand-Year Ginseng for a million won’t bring you a loss or a con."
"This? Thousand-Year Ginseng? Let tell you the truth! This ginseng’s age is rely five years. However, I must admit sothing. Among five-year ginsengs, this one’s quality is indeed not bad. Ordinary five-year ginsengs are worth around five thousand yuan. This five-year ginseng could sell for ten thousand yuan. A thing worth ten thousand, you want to sell to for a million, do you think I’m a fool?"
"I think you’re not just a fool but a blind one at that. It’s a pity to have grown up so pretty and have such charming big eyes for nothing."
"You dare to call blind?"
"Thousand-Year Ginseng right in front of you, and you can’t recognize it—if that’s not blind, what is it?"
"You’re the one who’s blind! Not only are you blind, you can’t recognize the real deal! This is clearly a five-year ginseng, nothing close to Thousand-Year Ginseng."
Qin Feng asked with a chuckle, "How about we make a bet?"
He thought that rely annoying Shangguan Yan wasn’t enough; he needed to fleece her once more.
Only then would it be truly exhilarating!
This woman, like Sun Erniang running her inn, had to be beaten at her own ga and completely subdued.
"What wager? What else do you have to bet?" Shangguan Yan asked.
"I still have so money in this card; let’s bet a million on it. As for the thod of betting, it’s to bet whether this ginseng is Thousand-Year Ginseng. If it is, I win. If it isn’t, you win."
"Who will do the appraisal?" Shangguan Yan asked.
"Of course, it will be you!"
This reply from Qin Feng sowhat bewildered Shangguan Yan.
Pointing to herself, she asked, "I’ll do the appraisal?"
"As long as I can make you admit out loud that this is a Thousand-Year Ginseng, then you lose. In that case, you’ll have to give a million. If you stubbornly refuse to admit that this is a Thousand-Year Ginseng, then you win. Thus, I will lose a million to you."
No sooner had Qin Feng finished speaking than a thought flashed through Shangguan Yan’s mind.
She thought to herself, could this guy be a fool?
"Are you sure?" Shangguan Yan asked.
"Certainly."
"You’re sure that if I don’t admit this ginseng is Thousand-Year Ginseng, you lose? You lose a million to ?"
"Yes! Let’s set a ti limit of fifteen minutes. The bet starts now. Within fifteen minutes, if I can’t make you admit that this ginseng is Thousand-Year Ginseng, then I lose."
"Good! Let’s bet!"
Shangguan Yan agreed readily.
This was like picking up a million for nothing—who would be foolish enough to reject that!
Shangguan Yan took out a small alarm clock and set it on the counter.
"I won’t take advantage of you; I’ll give you thirty minutes instead, and the timing starts now. Even if you had great abilities, you couldn’t make admit within half an hour that this ginseng is Thousand-Year Ginseng. Forget about it not actually being one—even if it were, I wouldn’t admit to it!"
"Empty talk is useless; besides timing, we need to record it. Record the entire process, so neither side can cheat."
Qin Feng’s request was not unreasonable; in fact, it suited Shangguan Yan just fine.
So, she nodded in agreent, "Okay."
The cara was set up, and the timing began.
Qin Feng picked up the ginseng, grinning as he said, "Watch closely."
After speaking, Qin Feng used his practiced right hand to rub the ginseng.
His prodding gestures made Shangguan Yan blush slightly.
So, she scolded irritably, "Stop being a hooligan here!"
