Chapter 51 - Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng

At the last rough auction, the video of his wife fooling around with others lost all his face in his life. If it weren't for the relationship between his father-in-law, he would have divorced that slut a long time ago.

  Even if they are not divorced now, the marriage is already dead in name, and the two play their own games.

  After learning that the video was played by Shen Yuxuan's instructions, Li Junyi settled the account on Lin Yu's head. He had to return the green hat to Lin Yu.

  So he carefully brewed such a plan to trick Jiang Yan into going to Ling'an, which was his territory. Once Jiang Yan passed, he would never want to escape from the palm of his hand again.

  "Jiang Yan, I said, you will be mine sooner or later."

  After Li Junyi came out of the hospital, he glanced at the photo in his hand with a contented expression, then got into a black car and galloped away.

  "I'm going on a business trip again, are you happy?"

  Three days later, Jiang Yan said to Lin Yu while admiring the long skirt she had just bought in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

  "Why are you going on a business trip again?"Lin Yu frowned, why is there so much going on in this hospital."

  "No way, it's like this when I first started, so I have to find a place to study more. This is the place our director finally won for me."Jiang Yan replied.

  "Is it still the capital?"Lin Yu said curiously.

  "No, this time I'm going to Ling'an."

  "Ling'an?"Lin Yu sat up at once. In fact, Ling'an is very close to Qinghai and can be reached in 40 or 50 minutes by motor car, but Lin Yu was a little worried when he thought that Li Junyi also belonged to Ling'an.

  "Why don't I go with you?"Lin Yu said after thinking for a while.

  "What are you going to do, I'm going to learn."

  "It's okay if I'm free at home. I just happened to go over and play. It saves me from being jealous when I'm at home."Lin Yu said with a smile.

  "Jealous?Self-indulgent!"Jiang Yan quickly turned around and entered the house, feeling a little guilty inexplicably.

  At Lin Yu's strong request, Jiang Yan had to take him to Ling'an, but the hospital only covered her own expenses, and Lin Yu had to take care of her own expenses.

  Originally, when he arrived at the hotel, Jiang Yan acquiesced that Lin Yu could live with her, but Lin Yu took the initiative to open an extra room and lived next door to Jiang Yan.

  Because the academic meeting will be held for two days, they will stay here for three nights.

  "Mr. Li, the person you asked me to pay attention to is here."

  In a mirror building towering into the clouds, Li Junyi was sitting in a spacious office drinking coffee. A man in a black jacket next to him handed him several photos of Lin Yu and Jiang Yan entering and leaving the hotel.

  "He's here too?"

  Li Junyi was quite surprised to see Lin Yu in the photo, and then smiled coldly. Thinking of the moments when Lin Yu made a fool of him at the auction, he suddenly itched his teeth with hatred, clenched Lin Yu's photo tightly, and said coldly: "It's just right. Now that you are here, don't leave."

  "Call the hotel manager and let him follow the plan."Li Junyi ordered.

  Almost the entire upper-class hotels in Ling'an have business dealings with him, so no matter which hotel Jiang Yan stays in, he can do what he wants.

  "Mr. Li, then this man, am I looking for Huazi and the others..."

  Before the black jacket finished speaking, Li Junyi waved his hand, frowned and said: "This He Jiarong seems to have learned some fighting in the past few years. It is not something that ordinary people can deal with. To be safe, find a few retired special forces to play with him. I want him to survive and die!"

  Thinking of Jiang Yan's perfect figure being gracefully accepted by Lin Yu under his body, Li Junyi went crazy with anger.

  When Jiang Yan went to attend the academic exchange meeting the next day, Lin Yu walked around some famous local attractions.

  When it comes to Ling'an, the most famous attraction is the Snow Lake. It is rumored that in winter, when the temperature is suitable, snow can fall on the lake without melting.

  It's a pity that it's early autumn, and Lin Yu didn't have the blessing to see this miracle.

  "Get out!It stinks!"

  At this moment, there was a sudden clear drink. Lin Yu turned his head curiously and saw a woman in white holding a broom driving an old man out of the door of a Chinese medicine shop next to him.

  The old man who was driven out was dirty and messy, with strands of gray hair tied into knots, and a strange smell faintly exuded from his body.

  "I'm not asking for food, I'm here to sell medicinal materials."The old man hurriedly took down the bamboo basket behind him, took out some cicadas, dried centipedes and some herbs from it, and said, "I picked them all up the mountain by myself, and they are natural.""

  Ling'an is surrounded by mountains and has a long history. Some precious medicinal materials are common in the deep mountains and old forests. Many farmers who collect medicinal materials for a living will directly come to the pharmacies in the city to sell them.

  "We have collected enough of these, no more."The clerk said in disgust.

  "What about this ginseng?Ginseng is always collected."As the old man said, he pulled out a piece of rag from the basket, and carefully opened the rag, revealing something as thick as a baby's arm with a long beard, covered with mud, grass roots and other debris, it looks like a radish.

  "Collect ginseng, but not radishes, hurry up and get out of here!""The clerk pinched his nose, unable to bear it.

  "Nonsense, I'm a real wild ginseng, I dug it up from the mountains with all my hard work."The old man was a little unhappy when he heard this.

  "Then you go to another place to sell it, we don't charge it here anyway!"The clerk raised the broom in his hand, as if the old man would do it if he didn't leave.

  "Old man, can you let me see."

  Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he found that the wild ginseng full of soil was shining with a rich turquoise light, so he hurriedly walked over.

  The old man was taken aback for a moment, handed Lin Yu the ginseng in his hand, and said, "Young man, I really dug this from the mountains. If you want it, I'll give you a cheaper one."

  Lin Yu flipped the ginseng in his hand and took a closer look, and found that it was really a wild ginseng, and it was quite old, at least hundreds of years old, and even most likely thousands of years.

  This kind of wild ginseng for a certain number of years can really be called a panacea.

  Lin Yu resisted the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "Old man, how much do you sell this ginseng for? You don't need to be cheap. The normal asking price is enough."

  Jiang Yan gave Lin Yu her bank card when she went out, so now Lin Yu is very emboldened to speak.

  "Two...twenty thousand?"The old man asked tentatively.

  "I'll pay 50,000."Lin Yu said hurriedly.

  "Fifty thousand?!"The old man opened his mouth wide in surprise.

  "Is it missing? No, I can add another 10,000."Lin Yu said, he didn't know how much money was in the card Jiang Yan gave him, so he didn't dare to make an easy offer.

  "There are so many fools these days, let me tell you, such a big ginseng can't be wild ginseng at all!"The clerk of the pharmacy couldn't help rolling his eyes just now, and said in a disdainful tone.

  Last time he was fined a month's salary by the pharmacy for accepting a fake ginseng by mistake, so he doesn't dare to accept this kind of thing at will now.

  "Okay, okay, 60,000, just 60,000!"The old man clutched Lin Yu's arm excitedly, for fear that Lin Yu would run away in the blink of an eye.

  "I'll pay 80,000!"

  Who knew that at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, and an old man in a white coat walked over quickly. It was the attending physician of this pharmacy. After seeing the ginseng in the old man's hand, he also made an offer. Price.

  He has been in medicine for decades and has handled thousands of Chinese medicinal materials. He can see at a glance how valuable the ginseng in the old man's hand is, so he hurriedly opened a bid.

  When the clerk saw that the old doctor had followed the bid, his expression suddenly changed, and he regretted it a little. He had known that he had received it at a low price.

  "One hundred thousand!"Lin Yu immediately bit the price up.

  "120,000!"The old doctor was also ruthless, and felt that he had a profit, so he followed.

  "Three hundred thousand!"Lin Yu anxiously raised the price directly to 300,000 yuan. He felt that even if the card Jiang Yan gave him was not enough, he could call Jiang Yan to transfer money to him.

  The old doctor stopped following this time, smiled and shook his head, and said with a smile: "Young man, it is still profitable to buy this ginseng for more than 100,000, but 300,000 is too high."

  "Master, he is an outsider when he hears his accent, and he doesn't know our Ling'an situation at all."The clerk snorted coldly, looking at Lin Yu with the eyes of a fool.

  "What do you mean?"Lin Yu was puzzled.

  "Young man, ginseng of this size is not uncommon in our Ling'an. It is a kind of genetically modified ginseng. In recent years, many people have specialized in large-scale production, hybridizing with purebred ginseng and mass-producing hybrid ginseng. Therefore, when we collect ginseng, we are very careful."

  The old doctor patiently explained: "This ginseng does look like wild ginseng in terms of appearance, but it is impossible to have such a large wild ginseng. It should also be hybridized. I just want to compare it with other hybrid ginseng. Its medicinal value is higher."

  "Nonsense, I'm a purebred wild ginseng, I dug it myself!"When the old man heard it in a hurry, he hurriedly explained to Lin Yu.

  "Young man, there are many liars now, be careful to be deceived."The old doctor reminded Lin Yu quickly.

  "I believe in this old man.Lin Yu smiled, then asked the old man: "Do you want cash or transfer money.""

  "Just cash, cash."The old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yu say that, "I'll give you a discount, just 280,000.""

  Lin Yu went to the bank next to him to withdraw the money. When the old man saw so much money, his eyes straightened, and he quickly wrapped it in rags and held it tightly in his arms, and ran away as if fleeing.

  "Young man, you have been fooled!"

  "Such a big ginseng is clearly hybridized."

  "It can still sell for money in pharmacies. In fact, the medicinal value is very low. In the hands of individuals, it is not worth tens of thousands of dollars!"

  The bidding between Lin Yu and the old doctor just now caused the people around to stop and watch, and several of them who knew ginseng well couldn't help but comment.

  "Old sir, you have lived so long, you shouldn't have seen the thousand-year-old Ginseng king, right?"Lin Yu said with a smile, "Please find me a basin of clear water, and I will show you.""

  "Young man, I'm afraid you will cry for a while."The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head and smiled, then ordered the clerk to take out a pot of water.
