Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: 1000 Years Old Ginseng

Yu Qi could only learn martial arts for two hours. Her stamina could not keep up anymore. Next time, she decided that she would train her body first before continuing martial arts practice. She opened her bag and took out the bottle. After drinking from it, she immediately felt refreshed.

"Now it's time to collect the goods." Yu Qi happily walked toward the farm.

She had already prepared several plastic bags to bring the goods out from the space. She harvested some basil, spinach, and bitter melon. However, she only took a small portion of each.

She continued to explore the farm. Then she suddenly spotted something.

Ginseng.

She knew it was ginseng because, in her past life, she had learned a lot about it.

She carefully dug the soil, afraid that she might damage the ginseng roots. Slowly and patiently, she took the ginseng out of the soil. It was very large, and there were actually two of them. She took a closer look at the ginseng, examining it carefully.

However, she could not determine the age of the ginseng.

"Bo Ya, do you know how old this ginseng is?" Yu Qi asked.

"Actually, I do not know. It was planted here a long time ago. One hundred years? Maybe even longer than that." Bo Ya honestly admitted that he had already forgotten.

"Well, it is okay. I will ask the buyer about it. I have to go out now. Goodbye, Bo Ya." Yu Qi patted his head gently before closing her eyes.

When Yu Qi opened her eyes again, she was standing at the same place where she had entered her space earlier. Judging from the position of the sun in the sky, it was probably around five in the evening already.

'I will give some vegetables to Boss and sell the rest of them at the market tomorrow,' she thought.

Her school life had been getting better recently. Wang Fu Ya did not bother her anymore, and her relationship with her classmates had also improved.

After school, she quickly went home. After changing into more comfortable clothes, she headed toward the market.

She sold the wild vegetables to one of the shops there. After that, she asked the shop owner where she could find a shop that was willing to buy ginseng. The lady gave her directions, and Yu Qi immediately headed there.

Soon, she arrived in front of the shop. She looked up and read the signboard.

It said "Godly Herb."

She walked into the shop. However, there was no one inside.

She looked around curiously. There were many types of herbs displayed in the shop. She even recognised some of them from the lessons she had learned earlier.

"Chinese foxglove... Reishi... and this one is Fo-ti."

"What do you want, child?"

Yu Qi suddenly heard a deep voice. She turned around and saw an old man with a long white beard standing behind her.

She immediately greeted the old man politely.

"Sir, I want to sell some ginseng. Can you take a look and determine its age and price?" Yu Qi spoke calmly while looking straight into the old man's eyes.

The old man slightly narrowed his eyes.

This girl is smart and brave.

Normally, very few people dared to look directly into his eyes like that.

"Come in." The old man invited her into a room. "Where is the ginseng?"

Yu Qi brought out the ginseng that she had wrapped carefully in newspaper. She slowly opened the wrapping.

The old man was shocked when he saw it.

The ginseng was extremely large. He estimated that it weighed around one kilogram.

He carefully picked it up and examined it closely. As he continued looking at it, he became increasingly excited.

'This is a miracle. This ginseng....'

This is a miracle... This ginseng...

"Sir..." Yu Qi called the old man to get his attention.

The old man looked up at her with excited eyes.

"Girl, this ginseng is one thousand years old."

Yu Qi was also shocked when she heard this.

A one-thousand-year-old ginseng.

Meanwhile, the old man was still excitedly touching and examining the ginseng.

"Girl, sell it to me. I will buy it for five million." The old man made his decision immediately.

'Five million... Hmm... Well, it can help me pay my school fees and cover my daily expenses. I will find a way to double the remaining money later.' Yu Qi was in serious thought.

The old man carefully studied the girl standing in front of him. He noticed that she did not look very surprised when he offered five million for the ginseng. This made him like her even more.

"Okay, Sir. But I don't have a bank account. I can't simply take that much cash." Yu Qi suddenly realised the problem.

"Alright, then let's go and open a bank account." The old man nodded. "Girl, what is your name?"

"Sir, you can call me Yu Qi." Yu Qi smiled.

"Then you can call me Grandpa Tang."
