Chapter 14 500,000 medical fees, encounter spiritual fruit
Jiangling County is located in the southwest, surrounded by mountains, and is rich in Chinese herbal medicine.
Therefore, the county has the largest medicinal material trading market in the city.
Twenty minutes later, Hong Yu arrived.
There are several streets of shops criss-crossing each other, and hundreds of medicinal herb dealers gather here.
There are also some small traders and vendors setting up stalls on the streets.
Most of these people are local herbal collectors who have picked a lot of Chinese herbal medicines at home and sell them here.
Just when Hong Yu was about to find the most powerful merchant in the market, he first asked about the price of the century-old wild ginseng in his hand.
"Ding dong!"
The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. It was a message from WeChat.
I subconsciously took out my phone and looked at it, and found that someone with the online name "Little Fairy" wanted to add me.
Note: "Brother Xiaoyu, I am sister Ling'er."
Hong Yu looked stunned and murmured: "Why is this girl adding me to the film?"
Without thinking too much, I clicked Agree.
Soon, a message came from the other side.
First, he sent a "Hello" emoticon.
Next is a paragraph of text.
Little Fairy: "Brother Xiaoyu, I have gone home with grandpa, where are you now?"
Hong Yu didn't hide anything, and edited the message casually: "I'm at the Chinese medicinal materials market, sister Ling'er, do you have anything to do with me?"
As soon as the message was sent, a transfer message popped up on the interface.
It was from Xiao Ling'er opposite.
When he saw the transfer amount clearly, Hong Yu's eyes widened.
"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand"
Fully half a million.
Hong Yu suddenly became a little uneasy: "Sister Ling'er, have you transferred to the wrong person?"
Little Fairy: "Brother Xiaoyu, grandpa asked me to transfer this to you. He said he wanted to thank you for your life-saving grace. Please accept the medical fee."
Hong Yu suddenly realized: "But...this money is too much, I can't accept it."
Little Fairy: "Brother Xiaoyu, grandpa said that compared to your life-saving grace, this little money is nothing, so don't refuse."
Hong Yu still refused to accept it. He felt that he had accepted 500,000 from someone else for little effort. It was a bit hot to hold and a bit ugly to look at.
But Hong Yu didn't know that compared to Xiao Zhengbang's life, the value of half a million was actually too small.
The Xiao family has a strong say in the political, business, and military circles of Jiangzhou City.
Hong Yu edited the message: "Sister Ling'er, please stop talking. I really can't take this money. You can tell Mr. Xiao and tell him that I will accept it, but I won't accept the money."
Little Fairy: "Okay, I will convey it to Grandpa."
"By the way, brother Xiaoyu, why are you going to the medicinal materials market?"
Hong Yu: "I have some Chinese medicinal materials and sell them here."
Little Fairy: "Oh, brother Xiaoyu, please wait for me and I'll go find you. Anyway, I have to buy something at the medicinal material market."
Hong Yu: "..."
What does this woman want from me?
But it was not easy to refuse openly, so I replied: "Okay."
Seeing that the other party did not continue to reply to the message, Hong Yu closed the phone screen and couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that this Xiao family is really extraordinary. They give you half a million yuan of medical treatment fee at the drop of a hat. It's really generous."
To be honest, he was still a little tempted just now.
After all, he had never seen so much money before.
But the education he received since he was a child is to do good people and good deeds without asking for anything in return, so he did not choose to accept it.
…
Putting his thoughts away, Hong Yu carried his backpack and walked into Longxing Pharmacy, the largest Chinese herbal medicine store in the medicinal materials market.
It is indeed the largest store, business is booming and there are many customers.
So when he came in, no staff came to greet him.
He was not in a hurry and started looking around in the store.
First, find out the market price of the wild ginseng you have so you can bargain with the merchant later.
"Wild ginseng that is 130 years old sells for 500,000 yuan."
"A 180-year-old wild ginseng sold for 1.2 million."
On the glass cabinet on the east side of the store, there were two wild ginseng plants in good condition. When he saw the prices above, Hong Yu was extremely surprised.
He didn't expect that this hundred-year-old wild ginseng would be so valuable.
Moreover, after receiving the inheritance from the immortal doctor, he has a sharp eye when it comes to medicinal materials and can easily identify the age of various medicinal materials.
He discovered that the actual year of the two wild ginseng plants placed in the glass cabinet was somewhat adulterated.
One of them is only 110 years old, and the other is less than 150 years old.
However, the wild ginseng in his backpack was 280 years old and in excellent condition.
Its medicinal effect is more than three times stronger than that of the 150-year-old medicine.
In terms of value, isn't it worth more than three million?
Or even higher?
Thinking of this value, Hong Yu's heart was filled with excitement. He was about to make a fortune.
"Little girl, get out quickly and don't disturb our business. We don't accept such things here."
Suddenly, a harsh sound brought Hong Yu back to his senses.
He subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
I found a pretty young woman wearing a white shirt, jeans, canvas shoes, a ponytail, and a basket on her arm at the door of the store, who was being chased away by the clerk.
"My fruit is really good. It can relieve fatigue when people eat it. Why don't you ask a medicinal material expert to take a look at it? It might be a precious medicinal material."
The young woman pointed to the fruits in her basket and said sincerely:
"You can try it yourself and you will know whether what I say is true or false."
She took out a fruit from the basket and handed it to the clerk to taste.
The fruit is black and round, almost as big as a grape.
"This thing...could it be the Spiritual Heart Fruit?"
Hong Yu's sharp eyes recognized what this black fruit was at a glance, and even his nose could smell the special fragrance emanating from the fruit.
According to the records of the Wuji Immortal Medicine inheritance, this spiritual heart fruit is an elixir that can quickly enhance the strength of practitioners.
It usually grows in places with strong spiritual energy and is very rare.
Unexpectedly, I got lucky here. It was really good luck.
"I asked you, little girl, are you bothered? You said you won't take it, and you won't take it. You want me to taste it? You don't know if this thing of yours is poisonous."
The clerk was not interested in tasting it and continued to chase the young woman away with his hand:
"Go quickly...go quickly, don't affect the business in my store."
"Oh well!"
Helpless, Wang Shiyu sighed silently and had to turn around and leave the store.
"Girl, please wait a moment."
At this time, Hong Yu walked over quickly and called the woman.
"Brother, are you calling me?"
Wang Shiyu turned her head, looked at Hong Yu, and asked with a frown.
Hong Yu nodded and said, "Yes, how do you sell this thing? I want it all."
Wang Shiyu suddenly became happy: "Brother, is what you said true?"
"Yeah!" Hong Yu nodded again: "Please tell me a price."
Wang Shiyu pondered for a while, seeming to be thinking about how to make an appropriate quotation.
Finally, he embarrassedly stretched out a finger: "Can ten... ten thousand yuan be okay?"
"Pfft..."
Before Hong Yu could speak, the clerk just laughed.
"Little girl, are you crazy about money? You want ten thousand yuan for such a dark thing?"
Wang Shiyu blushed when she was told that, and she also felt like a bit of a lion.
If the family hadn't been in urgent need of money, she wouldn't have asked for so much.
Afraid that Hong Yu wouldn't want it, she quickly changed her mind: "Actually, I don't want 10,000..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hong Yu: "Ten thousand is ten thousand, deal..."
