Chapter 62 Another Jar of Wild Ginseng Slices

As soon as Shen Yuan said that, Chu Wenzhu and Chu Mingzhou's eyes lit up.

They want it too!

Su Nuannuan didn't notice the change in their expressions. She was currently thinking about how to refuse Shen Yuan.

She wasn't unaware of the value of wild ginseng slices, but since Shen Yuan was willing to give her a precious jade bracelet, she was also willing to give wild ginseng slices to Shen Yuan.

"Godmother, please accept it. If you don't, I don't want your bracelet."

After saying that, he made a move to pull the bracelet off his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan quickly stopped Su Nuannuan's actions and looked at Xu Heyi with difficulty.

Xu Heyi knew that Su Nuannuan was determined to give the ginseng slices to his wife, but she would definitely be embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift. He thought for a moment and finally spoke.

"Nuannuan, let's compromise. Your godmother certainly won't take your things for nothing. How about we buy this jar of ginseng slices for a thousand yuan?"

Shen Yuan wanted to speak again, but Xu Heyi tugged at her sleeve and gave her a wink.

Su Nuannuan knew that this stalemate couldn't continue and wanted to adopt Xu Heyi's suggestion. However, the price Xu Heyi offered was still beyond her comprehension.

If someone had offered her a thousand dollars for this jar of wild ginseng slices in her past life, she definitely wouldn't have paid them any attention. But this is 1960. In this era of scarce medicine, wild ginseng slices are a lifesaver. Moreover, wild ginseng slices that have been soaked in the sacred spring water are more than twice as effective as pure wild ginseng slices.

Therefore, it was within Su Nuannuan's expectations that wild ginseng slices could fetch a high price. However, a thousand yuan was still too outrageous.

What Su Nuannuan didn't know was that Xu Heyi had indeed quoted the lowest price. If it were someone urgently needing the medicine, this jar of wild ginseng slices could sell for up to 1500 yuan. Xu Heyi only offered 1000 yuan to avoid scaring the young girl.

Xu Heyi has made up her mind that she will use the extra money to make up for Su Nuannuan's losses in other ways, and she will definitely not let her suffer any losses.

However, Su Nuannuan was unaware of these things. She still thought 1000 yuan was an exaggeration.

"Godfather, isn't this too much?"

Seeing Su Nuannuan's troubled expression, Chu Mingzhou spoke up.

"The current market price for one gram of wild ginseng slices is around 75 yuan. This jar of wild ginseng slices in your hand contains a maximum of 20 grams, which can be sold for about 1500 yuan."

To everyone's surprise, Chu Mingzhou, who was usually taciturn, actually spoke. Their attention was immediately drawn to him, and when Chu Mingzhou mentioned the market price of wild ginseng slices, everyone felt that the 1000 yuan that Xu Heyi offered was indeed a bit low.

Su Nuannuan hadn't expected wild ginseng slices to be so valuable. The thought of the 26 growing wild ginseng seedlings in her spatial storage filled her with excitement.

"Nuan Nuan, just take the money. Come to think of it, we're the ones who are getting a good deal from you."

Shen Yuan's voice interrupted Su Nuannuan's thoughts.

Su Nuannuan thought about it and finally agreed.

"Okay, I'll take it."

If she insists on disagreeing, Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi will definitely feel bad. It would be better to sell it to them at a low price to put their minds at ease.

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Chu Wenzhu also spoke up.

"Nuan Nuan, do you have any more of these ginseng slices? If so, I'm willing to buy them for 80 yuan per gram."

As the mayor of Beijing, Chu Wenzhu has many good friends. Their elderly relatives all need these nourishing medicines, and Chu Wenzhu wanted to buy some to give as gifts.

Upon hearing Chu Wenzhu's words, Chu Mingzhou's lips moved. However, he ultimately remained silent.

Ji Lan, standing to the side, was not happy about it.

"Wenzhu, how can you take advantage of a young girl like this?" Ji Lan had overheard the whole thing. Even though she didn't understand the value of wild ginseng before, after the others explained it to her, she knew that it was both expensive and rare. She felt that Su Nuannuan was losing out by selling it to them now.

Chu Wenzhu felt a little embarrassed after hearing Ji Lan's words. He knew that wild ginseng was rare, and even if someone offered a high price, they couldn't buy it. That was precisely why he wanted it even more.

Su Nuannuan didn't expect wild ginseng slices to be so popular.

Looking into Chu Wenzhu's eager eyes, Su Nuannuan felt a fleeting stirring of emotion. Actually, she also wanted to sell the wild ginseng slices. If she sold them now, she'd have money to buy a house. And all that money would be clean and traceable.

Suddenly, Su Nuannuan remembered that among the gifts she brought today was a jar of wild ginseng slices. Perhaps Chu Wenzhu hadn't seen it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be asking her to buy it now.

"Uncle Chu, among the things I brought today, there is a jar of wild ginseng slices. You don't need to buy it."

Chu Wenzhu's eyes lit up after hearing Su Nuannuan's words.

Thinking about what Su Nuannuan brought, besides the two packets of pastries, there seemed to be a wooden box as well. Could the wild ginseng slices be inside?

What Chu Wenzhu could think of, others could think of as well.

When Su Nuannuan arrived, everyone saw what she was carrying. They assumed it was just some food and didn't pay much attention. Little did they know, there were wild ginseng slices among them.

Chu Wenzhu quickly got up and went to find the things Su Nuannuan had brought.

Seeing that Chu Wenzhu had searched for a long time but couldn't find it, Ji Lan had no choice but to get up and go get it.

Ji Lan had received the items, and she found them easily.

When Ji Lan entered the living room carrying a carved wooden box, everyone's attention was drawn to what she was holding.

Before everyone had to wait long, Chu Wenzhu eagerly opened the box and took out the white porcelain jar inside.

The porcelain jar looked exactly like the one Shen Yuan had, only the color was different. Chu Wenzhu opened the stopper, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Chu Wenzhu glanced at it, worried that the medicine would evaporate, so she quickly put the stopper back on.

Chu Mingzhou, who was closest to him, kept his eyes fixed on the porcelain jar the moment Chu Wenzhu opened the stopper.

Su Nuannuan noticed his gaze and followed it, seeing the smooth white porcelain jar.

Does he like these small ceramic containers?

Su Nuannuan thought to herself.

Before Su Nuannuan could continue to think about it, Chu Wenzhu's delighted voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

"It's wild ginseng slices!"

Now everyone's eyes were on Su Nuannuan. No one expected her to be so generous, giving away wild ginseng slices so readily.

Su Nuannuan felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares.

Chu Wenzhu spoke up at this moment.

“Nuan Nuan, sell me this can of wild ginseng slices at the price I just mentioned.”

Even after learning that the jar of wild ginseng slices was a gift from Su Nuannuan to their family, Chu Wenzhu did not consider accepting it; instead, he wanted to buy it with money.

This time, Ji Lan did not stop Chu Wenzhu from making the purchase.

Although she had only spent a short time with Su Nuannuan, she already understood the child's temperament. If they refused to accept it, Su Nuannuan would definitely be upset. It would be better to have Wenzhu buy it and get some money for the little girl. Besides, judging from the little girl's expression, she definitely had some wild ginseng slices in her hand.
