Solution (8)

Standing at the entrance of Baicaotang, watching Director Chen locking his bicycle, I realized that the person he was talking about turned out to be someone from this century-old pharmacy.

Director Chen locked the car and took Lu Xiaoxiao into Baicaotang. Then he said to a young man who was taking medicine: "Xiaoba, go call your master out and tell him that I have something to see him."

After hearing what Director Chen said, Xiaoba immediately stopped what he was doing and walked towards the back hall.

Not long after, I saw an old man in his sixties coming out of the back hall. When he saw Director Chen, he said, "Did something happen to your mother?"

"Old Yu, I'm not here this time for my mother's business. This time I want to ask you to help identify the age of the ginseng."

"Where's the ginseng?"

After hearing Mr. Yu's words, Director Chen signaled Lu Xiaoxiao to take out the ginseng with his eyes, and then said, "This is the one Mr. Yu has."

Mr. Yu originally sat on the stool with a nonchalant expression, but when he saw the ginseng on the table, his eyes almost popped out.

He quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands before carefully picking up the ginseng stick on the table.

After looking at it for four or five minutes, Mr. Yu put the ginseng back on the table without being satisfied, and then said: "This ginseng is about 160 years old, and the roots are very complete. No matter how well prepared it is, it is rare. nice one."

"Lao Yu, is it okay to give this ginseng to my mother?"

"This ginseng is enough to kill you. Do you think your mother can use it?"

After hearing what Mr. Yu said, Director Chen smiled with a few more creases on his face. Compared with his usual straight face, it was better to keep a straight face because Director Chen rarely smiled. This sudden smile It looks a bit scary no matter how you look at it!

"Little girl, is this ginseng yours?"

"Um."

"Then besides this ginseng, do you have any other ginseng?" Mr. Yu stared at Lu Xiaoxiao with burning eyes.

"No more, just this one."

"Then where did you get this one?"

"My dad left it to me."

"Little girl, please tell me where your father is. I'm going to find him and ask him where this ginseng came from. Old man, I'm really greedy."

"My father died."

"Ahem...I'm sorry, little girl, I didn't mean to mention your dad."

"It's okay, it's all happened a long time ago."

When Mr. Yu saw the little girl's calm look, he thought she was too sad to be like this, so he stopped asking about ginseng.

"Mr. Yu, what's the price of this ginseng?" Director Chen asked.

"At least eight thousand. If it were placed in the capital, it would be at least twelve thousand."

Director Chen knew that century-old ginseng was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageously expensive. However, the price was still completely affordable for him.

"Director Chen, you can just give me five thousand," Lu Xiaoxiao said.

After hearing this, Director Chen looked at Lu Xiaoxiao for a long time before saying, "Okay."

After the ginseng appraisal was completed and the price was negotiated, Director Chen said goodbye to Mr. Yu and walked home with Lu Xiaoxiao. Because he didn't bring so much cash, he couldn't give the money to Lu Xiaoxiao until he got home.

Moreover, he had previously promised Lu Xiaoxiao that if the ginseng was more than a hundred years old, he would discuss the next matter with her.

After Director Chen returned home, he told the nanny not to come to the second floor, and then took Lu Xiaoxiao up to the second floor.
