Lidya Su looked down at the fat man on the ground, feeling a little embarrassed.
If she guessed correctly, this person should be the buyer of her ginseng, but it was the first time to see such a social death scene, which was really a bit...
The fat man on the ground didn't feel embarrassed at all. He got up, grabbed the old shopkeeper and shouted, "Where's the ginseng? Come on, come on, my son is waiting for help!"
The old shopkeeper was obviously a little frightened by Mr. Jiang, and pointed at Lidya Su.
Mr. Jiang looked at the cloth bag in Su Xiao's hand, his eyes lit up, and he immediately pounced on it, trying to snatch the bag.
Su Xiao quickly dodged, avoiding Mr. Jiang's fat hand, and hid the bag behind her back, her face becoming colder.
Although she can understand Mr. Jiang's mood, she is not like this and actually grabs things directly, right?
Fortunately, the person following Mr. Jiang was still sober. He pulled him and whispered a few words of persuasion, and Mr. Jiang calmed down a little.
"Sorry, little girl, it was Jiang who was rude just now."
"But I'm really in urgent need of it. Can I, can I take out that treasure and have a look?"
He wiped the sweat from his face and cupped his hands at Su Xiaoyi.
Su Xiao pursed her lips, then took out the bag again, placed it on the table, and untied the rope to reveal the entire ginseng.
"Oh my God, my God, I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a century-old ginseng in such good condition, and it's still alive, alive!"
The old shopkeeper obviously knew the goods. When he took a closer look, he started shouting with joy.
Mr. Jiang's arrival with such great fanfare has already attracted the attention of passers-by on the street. At this time, the door has already been crowded with onlookers.
One of the figures stared at the thick ginseng on the table, then turned around and squeezed out of the door.
Mr. Jiang was overjoyed after hearing what the old shopkeeper said. Then he grabbed an old man who looked like a doctor next to him and asked repeatedly, "Is it true? Is it true?"
The old doctor carefully looked at the ginseng from head to toe, stroking his beard and nodded, "That's right, it is indeed a century-old ginseng, and it already has a human form. It is definitely top quality!"
"Wow, great, my son is saved..."
Mr. Jiang has experienced so many blows in recent days that he can hardly hold on anymore. Now when he suddenly learned that his son had a chance of survival, he actually covered his face and cried with joy on the spot!
After some more persuasion from the attendants around him, he reluctantly held back his tears, stared at Su Xiao and said, "Girl, please, you must sell this ginseng to me. I will accept the price!"
Su Xiao smiled slightly and stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty thousand taels? I bought it!"
Mr. Jiang agreed immediately and reached into his arms to take out the banknotes.
"No, it's three thousand taels." Su Xiao shook her head and said.
Mr. Jiang was stunned on the spot, as if he couldn't believe it.
As long as his son can live, he is willing to go bankrupt. Let alone thirty thousand taels, he is willing to pay even three hundred thousand taels!
But this girl only sells it for three thousand taels... Could it be that she is not very smart?
Lidya Su smiled slightly and did not explain too much.
She asked the old shopkeeper that the market price of this kind of ginseng was around a thousand taels at most. She had already made a huge profit by selling it for three thousand taels.
A person must have martial ethics. She doesn't bother to do things like taking advantage of others!
"Three thousand taels is too little, how about five thousand taels?" Mr. Jiang still couldn't believe that someone could not be moved by the white money. He was afraid that there was something fishy in it, so he asked anxiously.
Su Xiao was also speechless for a while. She had seen people bargaining before, but this was the first time she had seen someone take the initiative to increase the price!
"Mr. Jiang, this ginseng only costs three thousand taels, but I have a condition."
After listening to Lidya Su's words, Mr. Jiang's heart dropped.
He said, "How can you rush to give money and not ask for it? As expected, it is waiting for him here!"
"Tell me about it, as long as I can do it, I will agree to it!" he shouted excitedly while panting.
"Actually, my daughter is proficient in medical skills and wants to go to your house to see the master's condition. That's all." Su Xiao said calmly.
"You? Do you know medical skills?" Mr. Jiang glanced at Su Xiao up and down, and immediately agreed, "Let's go back now, come back with me!"
He agreed happily, but he didn't agree in his heart.
If it weren't for that ginseng, even if he was ill and sought medical treatment indiscriminately, he wouldn't have pinned his hopes on a skinny little girl!
Lidya Su noticed his distrust, pursed her lips, and didn't rush to explain anything.
She still doesn't know what the condition of Mr. Jiang is. Even if she can diagnose it, she is not sure that she will be able to cure him without the full range of modern medicines and surgical instruments.
But now that she had the chance, she had to try. If Mr. Jiang was not destined to die, she couldn't just sit there and do nothing, right?
Mr. Jiang put the banknote into Su Xiao's hand and ordered his entourage to pick up the ginseng and rush back.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the door, "Don't even leave!"
Everyone was startled, and when they looked back, they saw a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper and a young boy, squeezing in and shouting.
Lidya Su took a closer look and immediately frowned.
She knew this man, wasn't he the guy who tried to trick her into selling ginseng for ten taels of silver yesterday?
What are they doing here?
"It's her, the shopkeeper. We agreed yesterday that she has sold ginseng to our pharmacy!"
As soon as the boy squeezed in, he pointed straight at Lidya Su and said loudly.
The middle-aged shopkeeper had a mustache that would later be called a "traitor", and his eyes moved rapidly, full of shrewdness and calculation.
He didn't bother Lidya Su first. Instead, he saluted Mr. Jiang and said slowly, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, we have already ordered this ginseng."
"If you want to buy it, it would be better to go to our pharmacy later and discuss it in detail."
As he said that, he looked over and the boy from yesterday rushed towards the ginseng and grabbed the bag directly in his hand.
Fortunately, Su Xiao reacted quickly and slapped the little boy's hand hard. He flinched in pain, and she snatched the bag back.
Su Xiao stuffed the bag into the old shopkeeper's face, opened her arms and stopped him in front of him, and said sternly, "We are going to rob him in broad daylight. Why, there is no king's law in this county?"
The boy glared and wanted to reach out to grab the bag. This time, Su Xiao was no longer polite and kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him flying backwards.
Because he was angry, he used a lot of force with his kick. The boy fell to the ground and howled in pain.
"W-what on earth is going on here?" Mr. Jiang stood aside and looked dumbfounded. Seeing the little boy grabbing the ginseng, he jumped anxiously!
That was his son's life-saving thing. What if it got damaged?!
