Chapter 7 Hanks Antique Store
Hanks, 65, wears glasses and is meticulously polishing a silver jug.This is an antique handed down from the Middle Ages in Europe.

Suddenly the light dimmed, and two people walked into the antique shop one after the other.

Hanks was a little annoyed, looked up, frowned and said, "Joseph, you are blocking my light."

Joseph, the owner of the seed shop, is a fat man in his 40s.

Joseph shrank his neck, looking a little scared of the 65-year-old Hanks.He hurriedly said: "Mr. Hanks, I have brought you a big business, and you will definitely be interested."

"Oh?"

Hanks put down the silver pot, and his eyes fell on Chang Wei who was beside Joseph through his glasses.

He looked carefully, and found that Chang Wei, a mixed-race man, had no refreshing surprises except for his strong body, except for the big bag in his hand.

"That's him?" Hanks said, "You'd better not lie to me, Joseph. You know what will happen if you lie to me."

"Never!" Joseph said, "Mr. Hanks, I swear in the name of my grandfather!"

He hurriedly said to Chang Wei: "Take out your American ginseng!"

Chang Wei lifted the bag, gently put it on the counter, and unwrapped it silently. Suddenly, a strong smell of medicine came out of the bag, which lifted Hanks' spirits.

"nice one!"

Hanks appreciated it without hesitation: "It's American ginseng?!"

"Yes." Chang Wei said with a harmless smile: "Mr. Hanks, my batch of American ginseng is of excellent quality, but there are very few people who are qualified to buy them, especially in St. Edward. I think only you can buy them." okay."

"Of course!"

Hanks reached into his pocket, grabbed a piece of American ginseng, smelled it, and observed it with a magnifying glass, saying, "Except for me, no one in St. Edward's is qualified to eat them!"

After a moment, he gently put down the American ginseng in his hand: "What price do you want? How much do you have?"

"230, just over five pounds." Joseph on the side hurriedly said: "Mr. Hanks, although my eyesight is not as good as yours, I know that this batch of American ginseng is unique. The unit price is at least five hundred dollars!"

Hanks squinted at him, and said to Chang Wei, "What's your name? How much is he drawing?"

Chang Wei smiled: "Mr. Joseph has helped me a lot, and I am willing to give him a commission. My name is Chang Wei, and you can call me Chang."

"Okay." Hanks nodded, "You're a nice guy who knows how to repay you. Joseph said five hundred dollars a pound, what do you think?"

"I think Mr. Hanks must be a generous gentleman." Chang Wei complimented.

"Haha." Hanks laughed loudly: "A gentleman is not as important as Franklin. But I agree. Your batch of American ginseng is worth the price."

Chang Wei was not happy yet. Joseph on the side almost jumped up when he heard that Hanks agreed with the price. He even felt a little regretful in his greedy heart. Was he rash before, six hundred?Eight hundred?Even a thousand?The lion should open his mouth wide!
"Fresh ginseng is five hundred and one pounds. This is the first time in my life for my old man." Hanks said, and asked Chang Wei to carry his pocket on the scale. After weighing the weight, he quickly wrote a check .

"11 dollars." Hanks held the check and handed it to Chang Wei, but didn't let go immediately: "I want to know if you grew this batch of American ginseng yourself or not?"

Chang Wei had expected this.

Such a large batch of top-quality American ginseng cannot fail to attract attention.If he picked it accidentally in the wild, he didn't intend to do this business just once. Although US$11 is a lot of money, it is not enough for him to build his own farm, let alone buy back the land he sold.

But if he admits it directly, it will attract coveted eyes.

But if you don’t admit it, there will also be people coveting it—you, a half-breed boy, what qualifications do you have to own such high-quality American ginseng?Speak up obediently!

In any case, there must be some kind of hidden danger.

After thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't expose himself.

In this way, when you encounter trouble, you can deal with it quietly.

He smiled honestly: "I'm lucky, I ran into it during a field trip."

Hanks let go of the check.The old eyes behind the glasses flickered: "Yanyou. Well, it seems that you are a person favored by God."

"That's right, I think so too." Chang Wei was like a real fledgling boy, who seemed unable to understand the deep meaning in other people's mouths: "The situation is not very good during this time, so I went for a wild trip to relax. I didn't expect It's a joy to have luck finally befalling me."

"It's really pleasing." Hanks said: "That's it. I see that your batch of American ginseng is all mature plants. I assume that there must be some ungrown plants where you found them, and you will sell them to me in the future. How about it? "

Chang Wei looked very happy: "Of course, thank you, Mr. Hanks."

After Chang Wei left, Hanks left Joseph behind.

Ask him: "This guy named Chang Wei, what does he have to do with Chang Kun?"

Joseph was in a hurry to get the commission, and hurriedly said, "He is Chang Kun's son."

"Oh." Hanks pondered: "I heard that Chang Kun had a car accident and the couple died together."

"Yes. Chang Wei was studying in New York before, so he had to suspend his studies and was blackmailed. In order to compensate, the farm was almost sold out." Joseph said.

"How much do you know about this batch of American ginseng?" Hanks got to the point.

"This." Joseph hesitated, and said: "He found me before and said he was willing to give me a commission and let me help him match up. As for where these batches of American ginseng came from, I don't know. By the way, more than ten A few days ago, he bought several packets of seeds from me, including American ginseng."

Hanks waved his hand: "The seeds bought in more than ten days must have nothing to do with this. Why do you think American ginseng can be harvested in more than ten days, and it still has such a quality?"

"Then it can only be God's favor." Joseph spread his hands: "Mr. Hanks, I'm going to get my rake. If I mean, this batch of American ginseng is probably just accidental, even if there are some leftovers. There will not be too many, there is no need”

"Go away." Hanks waved his hand.
