System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother
Chapter 17 The Mother of Unfilial Sons Part 17
Next door, two men fell silent.
Lin Miao sounded like one of the bandits who were robbing people on the road!
She has very good hearing now.
Forget it, no rush.
A good night's sleep.
Lin Miao changed into clean clothes and gave the clothes she had been wearing for three days to the waiter: "Please find someone to wash them for me, brother." She also gave him 20 cents to extend the room rent.
The waiter told her happily: "Madam, the clothes will be returned to you tonight, and they will be ironed neatly."
Lin Miao walked on the street. The city was different. There were many shops on the street and a bustling atmosphere.
She went into the store to eat something and was now concentrating on thinking about how much she could sell her ginseng for.
Following the clerk's instructions, Lin Miao walked along the street looking for the drugstore.
She covered her face with a cloth and entered the largest drugstore - Tong Fu Kang. The drugstore was a two-story building with a very large storefront.
In her original world, she had once searched Baidu for the price of wild ginseng out of curiosity.
In ancient times, wild ginseng was also very difficult to find and was a rare treasure from heaven.
Good wild ginseng is basically monopolized by the royal family and major families.
Wild ginseng can grow to several decades old, which is extremely rare. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come across one, and the price will be sky-high.
Lin Miao entered the drugstore. This shop was said to be a branch in the capital, and the shopkeeper was only the operator and the face of the store, not the real owner.
Although her clothes were just ordinary cotton, the shop assistant still greeted her warmly: "Madam, what do you need?"
Lin Miao said: "I have some rare medicinal herbs to sell, are you here, shopkeeper?"
The waiter saw a knife hanging on her waist and guessed that she was a martial artist or a hunter. Then he saw that she was carrying a basket covered with several layers of cloth. He invited her aside and asked her what the medicinal herbs were.
Lin Miao said softly: "Ginseng."
The waiter hurriedly asked her to go upstairs and wait for a while, called another waiter over, whispered a few words to him, and the other waiter went upstairs.
Lin Miao touched her knife and felt a little more at ease.
She sat in the tea room waiting, and the waiter poured her tea, but she didn't drink it.
After a while, the shopkeeper of Tongfukang came in.
Seeing that the man had a kind face, Lin Miao nodded, took out the wild ginseng she had dug up later, and asked him to estimate its price.
This ginseng is complete from beginning to end, and the ginseng root is about 4 feet long, and the weight of the ginseng itself is more than 50 grams.
When the chief shopkeeper saw the ginseng, he gasped.
He had seen ginseng of this age before, but this was the first time he had seen ginseng of such good quality and so complete.
Ginseng itself is very valuable. Who would be willing to sell such a complete ginseng?
He asked Lin Miao to put the ginseng on the tray. He was amazed and didn't know how this woman kept the ginseng so fresh.
It hasn't been cooked yet and looks like it was just dug out of the ground. How is this possible? This city is at least hundreds of miles away from the mountains!
He thought for a moment and said, "Madam, your ginseng is quite expensive. Our old shopkeeper is in the store. Please wait a moment. I will ask the old shopkeeper to take a look and then determine the price for you."
Lin Miao was a little hesitant, and thought, if they wanted to harm her, she would knock them out and run away, and return home directly!
It turns out that she was a bit paranoid.
The old shopkeeper came trembling, looked at the wild ginseng, and directly set the price: "This wild ginseng must be 50 to 60 years old, the shape is complete, the appearance is good, fresh and not processed, it can be first-class ginseng. I will give you 1 taels. No one in this city will pay more than me."
Lin Miao looked at the price and found it was higher than the price she had checked online before. She had originally expected it to be around 4 or 500 taels. Now, she was very satisfied with the price.
Seeing that the old shopkeeper was quite straightforward and didn't look like a bad person, she took out the first one she dug.
With a loud ┗|`O′|┛ "Ah~~", the old shopkeeper almost fell down if someone hadn't supported him.
Lin Miao's face looked calm, but she was actually quite shocked.
In her opinion, this ginseng she dug herself was not as complete as the one just now, and was just a little bit bigger. It was amazing that it could weigh more than 60 grams. Was it really that surprising?
However, the taste of this one is indeed stronger. It does not have the earthy smell of ordinary ginseng. It tastes fresh and sweet.
The old shopkeeper's hands were shaking and it took him a long time to recover.
He approached the ginseng tremblingly, and drove out everyone except the chief shopkeeper. He also asked the chief shopkeeper to watch the door and not let anyone approach.
Lin Miao was also nervous. What happened?
The old shopkeeper walked around for a long time, and even took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and spun it around...
Lin Miao......
The old shopkeeper took the tray of ginseng to a bright place and looked at it carefully for a long time.
This ginseng has a yellow-white skin that is as shiny as jade and has a sense of transparency. It is shaped like jade and its two legs are of similar length, really like the legs of a beauty.
This must be ginseng essence. Combined with the taste of this ginseng, Lin Miao regretted taking it out. She didn't want to sell it anymore.
The old shopkeeper looked at Lin Miao's expression with a flickering look in his eyes, determined to win.
