"Okay, okay..."
Mr. Xue stared at the half ginseng plant excitedly, his expression of fondness could not be faked, and his hands even trembled with excitement.
"Here, you guys...make a price!"
It's not that Mei Bei is dissatisfied, it's true. The old doctor's look of like and dislike is directly on his face, and his words are so straightforward,
Mr. Xue's performance was like "come and kill me" directly on his face.
Mei Youqian naturally thought exactly the same as his daughter. He stretched out five fingers in front of Mr. Xue and said with an inscrutable expression: "This is the number."
Seeing her father's gesture, Mr. Xue's expression darkened. Meiberry felt a sudden surge in her heart when she saw this, thinking that Mr. Xue was going to say something bad, but then she heard Mr. Xue sigh directly:
"Five hundred taels? That's not impossible. Do you accept the banknote? I have so much cash. You can go directly to the Huitong Bank in the county to exchange it."
Mei Youqian, who originally only wanted fifty taels:?
Mei Youqian was so frightened that Mr. Xue suddenly opened his mouth to speak five hundred taels.
But that didn't stop him from immediately nodding his head and agreeing to the price.
"Ah... five hundred taels, a silver note?" After nodding, Mei Youqian swallowed silently and confirmed again and again: "It's really redeemable, you won't bluff me, right?"
"Then, how can I lie to you? You probably don't know the value of thousand-year-old ginseng. Maybe you are exaggerating deliberately by asking me for five hundred taels."
As Mr. Xue spoke, a confident smile appeared on his face.
Mei Youqian, whose thoughts were revealed, remained silent and didn't say anything.
"But I am not that kind of unkind person. I know how much it is worth.
A complete thousand-year-old ginseng has a price but is not available in the market, but it is only half a root after all, so five hundred taels is not a bad treatment for you.
You kid...don't be too little. "
How could Mei Youqian dare to say that he was too little?
“Nothing is too little, nothing is too little.”
Seeing Mei Youqian shaking his head repeatedly, he also showed satisfaction.
In Mei Berry's eyes, Mr. Xue seemed to be horrified by his behavior as if he was just sprinkling water.
This also made Mei Bei doubt the origin of Mr. Xue.
No, in this small town, the price of five hundred taels can be paid at any time. Isn't this old doctor some kind of worldly expert?
Mei Bei doubted life and stared at Mr. Xue with as weird a look as possible.
[System, why don’t I remember a character with great medical skills in the book? 】
Someone like Mr. Xue doesn't look like a nobody.
Only this time, the system remained silent.
Mei Bei suspected Mr. Xue. After her father agreed to collect the check, he remembered that his daughter once said that the system gave century-old ginseng. For this reason, he still reminded:
"We have some ugly things to say up front. We farmers have little knowledge. We don't know the value of ginseng, let alone the age. You said it yourself, but we didn't say it. If in the end..."
"What? Are you questioning my medical skills? Do you suspect that I am blind?"
Before Mei Youqian finished saying this, Mr. "
This tone shocked Mei Youqian.
He has never seen a doctor who was so confident when he saw something wrong!
Seeing Mr. Xue turn around and go to the back to get the banknote. Mei Youqian then whispered to his daughter: "Daughter, that's all I've said. We don't want to trick him, right?"
Although Mei Youqian has always been proud of his honest face, he has a dark heart when it comes to making money.
But he didn't feel that his heart had long been darkened.
A hundred years pretended to be a thousand years, and fifty taels turned into five hundred taels. He felt somewhat regretful.
When Meiberry learned that her father only wanted fifty taels, she glanced at her father like a dead fish and whispered: "Thankfully you didn't say anything."
Otherwise, Mr. Xue would probably make his father laugh to death.
"There is a big difference between a hundred years and a thousand years. What if he takes this medicine and gives it to other patients, and the medicine is not effective enough? What if someone is killed by then..."
"No way."
Mayberry was worried about the same thing as her father at first, but now that she knows the truth, she has no fluctuations in her heart.
After all, it was only a year short.
Just as Mei Bei was about to tell her father the truth, she saw Mr. Xue coming back from behind holding the banknote, as if he was afraid that Mei Bei and the others would regret it.
When Mr. Xue took the ginseng, Mei Berry asked curiously for some reason: "Are you so eager to buy this half of a ginseng plant because there are people you need to save?"
"What's wrong? What if I'm in a hurry to save someone?"
Although the little girl in front of him was not very old, seeing that the girl in front of him was holding the banknote he just handed out, and the old man behind him seemed to be indifferent to it, he knew that Mei Mei was not an ordinary person.
Ordinary people, who lets their daughter wear silver and ginseng?
"Nothing, just asking."
Seeing Mr. Xue suddenly looking at her, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, Mei Berry's eyes became a little wandering.
Why was she so obsessed with this just now?
It is their business who they want to save.
After understanding this, Meiberry put away her curiosity and left with her father.
Seeing that the father and daughter were about to leave, Mr. Xue seemed to understand something and called out to them, saying:
"Not everything in this world needs to be known clearly. Not all objects in front of us need to be traced back to their origins.
I bought this half ginseng from you, no matter where this ginseng will be used. In the end, the people who used this ginseng just thought it was given to them by me.
No matter whether it is good or bad after taking it, the final cause and effect will stop with me, do you understand? "
Mr. Xue said it tactfully, but Mei Mei and Mei Youqian also understood. They turned around and smiled at Mr. Xue, thanked him aloud, opened the door and left Jishi Hall.
After the father and daughter had completely disappeared from the street, Mr. Xue took half a ginseng plant and hurried to the grocery store where Mei Qi and the others were.
***
Mei Mei and Mei Youqian, who were leaving the street, were extremely excited at the moment.
But compared to her dad, who was so outspoken that she wanted to pinch him, Mayberry said she was really calm.
"Oh my god, dear baby, pinch your dad and me. Was it true just now?"
Meiberry, whose ears hurt from being noisy by her father, only asked: "Fake, how are you?"
Mei Youqian replied: "Fake, then we will go to the tea shop to have tea and tea cakes and observe the people coming and going."
Mayberry: "Really, what about you, dad?"
Mei Youqian: "Really, let's buy roast chicken and sesame cakes first, then go to the tea shop to eat tea and tea cakes, and observe the people passing by."
Meiberry felt a little funny in her heart when she saw that no matter how excited her father was, she still remembered her mother's words.
It was funny but at the same time she felt a little bit sour.
"Then... let's go buy roast chicken first?"
Mayberry suggested.
"No, let's buy sesame cakes first, your mother loves them."
Mayberry: "..."
