At this moment, Li Hua had already decided in his heart that Fang Ming and Lao Sha were liars, and Fang Ming didn't care. He probably guessed what Li Hua was thinking.
"Then Lao Sha, wait for me. I'll trade with you after I get the medicinal materials."
"Okay."
Fang Ming didn't say anything more and led Lao Sha inside. Li Hua wanted to stop him but finally hesitated and let Lao Sha in.
"No matter what you two liars say, I won't listen. As long as I'm not greedy, I won't be fooled."
Li Hua was already convinced that no matter what these two liars said in front of him, he would not be fooled. He even specifically told other employees in the store not to pay attention to these two people.
…
In the lounge, Fang Ming looked at Lao Sha and asked curiously: "Lao Sha, can I ask if you have something urgent and need money?"
A ginseng that is more than a century old can be sold for hundreds of thousands. Unless you don’t know the value of ginseng that is more than a century old, people who don’t need money will never sell it.
"Boss Fang, I am really in a hurry for money."
Lao Sha didn't hide it. If he wasn't in a hurry for money, he wouldn't be able to sell this ginseng. It was left by his father. After all, the century-old ginseng has another nickname called life-threatening ginseng. As long as the person is not dead, he can take a piece of this ginseng.
A hundred-year-old ginseng can kill you for an hour if you put it in your mouth.
"It's probably not a family member's health problem."
Fang Ming asked tactfully. The subtext was that it was not a family member who was sick and needed money. The reason why he guessed this was because he had just looked carefully at Lao Sha's face, and there was no facial feature of a relative who was sick.
"No, actually it's a bit embarrassing to talk about it. I need money to find my wife." Lao Sha replied with some embarrassment.
"Looking for a wife?"
Fang Ming did not expect Lao Sha to reply, "Your wife is missing?"
"I suddenly disappeared two years ago. In the past two years, I have searched all over the country, but there is still no clue. But I will not give up. I will find my wife no matter what."
Lao Sha had a determined expression on his face. He had spent all his savings in the past two years to find a wife, and he had no choice but to sell this century-old ginseng.
Fang Ming pondered, if he just wanted to find someone, he would have a way, but that would have to wait until the ginseng trade happened.
While Fang Ming and Lao Sha were talking, several people walked in at the door of the pharmacy. The one at the front was someone Fang Ming had seen before, Ling Chuchu, the director of the Supervision Department of Guangniantang.
"Minister Ling."
Li Hua obviously knew Ling Chuchu, and he immediately greeted her while she was wandering in the hall.
"Manager Li."
Ling Chuchu nodded, and then walked towards the pharmacy, looking at the environment of the pharmacy and the status of the staff at the moment, but soon her eyes focused, because she saw the person sitting inside
Fang Ming in the lounge.
"Is it him?"
Naturally, she had a very deep impression on Fang Mingling Chuchu. Her ability to identify medicinal materials was not inferior to that of medicinal experts who had been immersed in this industry for decades, and her attitude towards her was very arrogant and indifferent.
Of course, the main reason for the deep impression is the latter point.
"Minister Ling, I suspect these two people are liars. The young man inside came to the store first and bought a lot of medicinal materials. At that time, I suspected his purpose of buying so many medicinal materials, but our pharmacy is open for business.
It's a business, if he wants to buy it I can't stop him."
When Li Hua saw Ling Chuchu's eyes looking in the direction of Fang Ming, he said with excitement as if offering a treasure: "After a while, another liar came in, pretending to be in need of money, and even took
I took out a ginseng and said it was a century-old ginseng. I said I sold it for only 180,000 yuan because I needed the money urgently."
"Of course I won't accept it, but at this time this young man came out and said he bought it. This is obviously a serial double act here, but I have already seen through it. As long as he is not greedy, the liar can be cunning no matter how cunning he is.
It’s no use either.”
Li Hua looked triumphant, but Ling Chuchu couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly after listening to Li Hua's words, but she also knew that Li Hua couldn't be blamed for this. If she were Li Hua, she would think the same way.
But she is not Li Hua. She has met Fang Ming and seen Fang Ming's hand in buying medicinal materials. There is no fraud at all. Of course, the more important thing is that she knows Fang Ming's accomplishments in identifying medicinal materials.
"Mr. Zhao, come over and take a look."
Even big pharmacies like Guangniantang don’t have stock of century-old ginseng. It’s not that they haven’t had it in stock. Guangniantang Pharmacy once had some century-old ginseng, but this kind of stuff couldn’t be stored at all and had been used up long ago.
Ling Chuchu led Mr. Zhao towards the lounge. As soon as he stepped into the lounge, his pretty face showed a smile, "Mr. Fang, I didn't expect to meet again. What a coincidence. Mr. Fang came to the store to buy medicinal materials again?"
Li Hua followed Ling Chuchu and was stunned for a moment when he heard Ling Chuchu's words, because he did not expect that Minister Ling actually knew this liar.
No, if Minister Ling knows Mr. Fang, then Mr. Fang is not a liar. If Mr. Fang is not a liar...
Thinking about it carefully, Li Hua suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
Fang Ming looked at Ling Chuchu with half-smiling eyes, "What else can I do in the pharmacy if I don't buy medicinal materials? Could it be that I'm here to drink tea?"
Ling Chuchu was at a loss for words, but she still smiled awkwardly and looked at Lao Sha who was sitting beside her. "Brother, I heard that you want to sell ginseng. I wonder if you can show it to me."
"Don't you want it?" Lao Sha was stunned and then muttered, which made Li Hua on the side look a little ugly.
"Well, people in our drug store have no right to collect medicinal materials privately, but we come from the headquarters and don't have this problem." Ling Chuchu explained.
In fact, she, the Minister of Supervision, doesn't care about the procurement of medicinal materials and has no intention to deal with it. What she is interested in is century-old ginseng.
"The people in your store also said that my ginseng is fake."
Lao Sha muttered again. It was obvious that Li Hua's words and attitude made him resentful. This made Fang Ming secretly laugh at him. Even though Lao Sha was so easy to talk to before, he seemed to be a person with a temper.
"that……"
The corners of Ling Chuchu's mouth twitched. She didn't know what was going on today. She met two men in a row who were not hypocritical of her.
"Minister Ling, everything comes on a first-come, first-served basis. Lao Sha and I have already agreed on this ginseng." Fang Ming spoke. When Ling Chuchu walked in, he knew what Ling Chuchu's purpose was.
Ling Chuchu didn't have a good impression of herself, so even if she knew she was in the pharmacy, she would not come in to say hello, and even if she came in to say hello, she would not show a smile. The other party obviously knew what happened from Li Hua's mouth, and was rushing to
It came with the century-old ginseng.
"Well, I'm just curious and want to take a look. It's okay to take a look."
Ling Chuchu's heart was filled with anger. She had never spoken so humbly to anyone before. If it weren't for the century-old ginseng, she would have really wanted to turn around and leave.
Lao Sha looked at Fang Ming and hesitated, "Boss Fang, this..."
"It's okay, just show them."
Ling Chuchu wanted to see it, but Fang Ming didn't care, because he was determined to get this ginseng, and he was sure of it.
With Fang Ming's consent, Lao Sha escaped from his arms again and opened the paper bag, revealing the shriveled ginseng inside.
Ling Chuchu knew ginseng, but she couldn't tell the age of the ginseng. She glanced at Mr. Zhao on the side. Mr. Zhao nodded slightly to express his understanding, stepped forward and leaned over to observe.
After a while, Mr. Zhao reached out his hand and carefully picked up the ginseng, flipping it back and forth and observing it for several minutes before putting it down.
"How is it?" Ling Chuchu asked Mr. Zhao.
"Seven years ago, I was lucky enough to see a ginseng that was more than a hundred years old. It was not much different from this ginseng in terms of shape and weight. This ginseng should be at least 80 years old. As for the age of this ginseng,
I can’t tell the details yet.”
Mr. Zhao was not so sure, but his words almost proved that this ginseng was a century-old ginseng.
In fact, no one can accurately judge the age of ginseng. Especially for some ginseng that is hundreds of years old, it is normal for the difference to be more than ten years. There is no problem if a ginseng that is 80 years old is said to be a 100-year-old ginseng.
Among the people present, only Fang Ming knew very well that this was definitely a ginseng that was more than a century old, and it might have been 150 or 60 years old, otherwise it would not have given him that stinging heat sensation.
The expression on Li Hua's face became extremely wonderful. The century-old ginseng only sold for 180,000 yuan, but he thought it was a liar and missed it.
Although the company stipulates that pharmacies cannot collect medicinal materials privately, that means they cannot collect them and sell them in the store, but he can buy them in his own name. A century-old ginseng can be easily found with his connections.
Some big bosses sell a million dollars.
This is not a painful loss of ginseng, this is a huge loss of money.
With Mr. Zhao's words, Ling Chuchu felt confident. Her eyes lit up and she said to Fang Ming: "Mr. Fang, I know you were the first to take a fancy to this ginseng, and I will not compete maliciously with Mr. Fang, but I
We really need this century-old ginseng, I can give more money to compensate Mr. Fang, but I wonder if Mr. Fang can part with it?"
"cannot."
Fang Ming simply refused. Are you kidding? Such a century-old ginseng is rare. Once you miss it, you may not be able to get it even if you have money.
With these hundred years of ginseng, the effect of his medicinal bath will be greatly improved, and it is impossible for him to transfer it.
Ling Chuchu was speechless, and there was anger in her heart. She felt that she was easy to talk to, but Fang Ming was so unsophisticated that it also made her angry.
"Mr. Fang, don't forget, this ginseng still belongs to Brother Sha."
Ling Chuchu looked directly at Fang Ming, and the threat in her words was already obvious. Anyway, this ginseng is not in your hands yet. At worst, I will pay a high price to cut off your hair.
