Gu Jin’s hand reached into the basket. Taking advantage of the action of picking sothing up, she secretly brought out a complete wild ginseng from her hidden space.
"Let’s see what kind of quality this wild ginseng is."
As soon as the words were out, Gu Jin pulled her hand out of the basket, holding a rather sizable piece of wild ginseng in her hand.
Seeing this entire wild ginseng, with even the roots densely intact, Liu Quan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Gu Jin noticed his expression and asked, "How much do you think this ginseng is worth?"
Liu Quan was so captivated by the ginseng that he couldn’t take his eyes off it.
He wasn’t soone lacking experience; he’d seen many rare items when he followed his boss into the city, and ginseng was naturally among them. However, this was the first ti he’d seen wild ginseng with roots so intact and of such size.
He rembered a ti when Brother Hai made a transaction involving ginseng. Brother Hai was his boss, and that piece of ginseng, which wasn’t even that big, fetched thousands.
"Three thousand!"
Liu Quan blurted out a price, almost as if by so eerie instinct.
Gu Jiajie, who was walking over, almost stumbled at hearing this price.
Three thousand? Could it really be worth that much!
Gu Jin stared at Liu Quan, making him feel uneasy under her gaze.
Seeing he didn’t say anything further, Gu Jin decisively placed the wild ginseng back into the basket.
"It seems you’re not interested in making this deal."
Liu Quan’s earlier unease and excitent were all noticed by Gu Jin. She knew the ginseng in her hand was more valuable than she originally thought.
The wild ginseng she brought out could be said to be the largest unearthed from Qingluan Mountain, and selling it for just three thousand would indeed be a giveaway.
Seeing this, Liu Quan hurriedly tried to stop her, "Wait, wait... we can negotiate, we can negotiate!"
In her previous life, although Gu Jin wasn’t quite updated on the current price of ginseng, she knew that aged wild ginseng was valuable. Even though the economy of these tis wasn’t great, it was still a rare commodity.
Gold has a price, but ginseng is priceless; one less once it’s sold.
Gu Jin looked up and stared at Liu Quan, a faint smile playing on her pretty face.
Liu Quan rubbed his bald head; earlier, he was rash, thinking of snatching this ginseng at a low price. In business, greed is inevitable.
Unfortunately, the young girl in front of him was not easy to deceive.
Since he couldn’t deceive her, he might as well do business openly. With a calm deanor, he said, "You really aren’t easily fooled, young lady. If you let take a closer look at the ginseng, this deal could be a significant transaction. It’s too large for to decide alone. If the ginseng is indeed genuine, I can take you to the city to see my boss for a final decision."
"Sure."
Gu Jin generously handed the wild ginseng, which she was about to put into the basket, directly into Liu Quan’s hands.
The latter held the wild ginseng carefully, clearly seeing the densely packed roots, each one intact.
Liu Quan touched and felt the ginseng repeatedly, knowing that all this was money.
He sighed, "Although I’m not knowledgeable about ginseng, I do know that ginseng grown for a year isn’t as good as grass; ten-year-old ginseng is top-quality; hundred-year-old ginseng is premium; thousand-year-old ginseng is divine, sothing to kneel before."
"The ginseng in your hand, miss, is the best I’ve seen. If you’re willing to sell, I’ll take you to the city tomorrow morning to et my superior boss."
He carefully handed the ginseng back to Gu Jin.
She took the ginseng and decisively said, "Alright."
"Then let’s set a ti. I’ll be available after ten tomorrow morning, and I’ll drive you there."
As he said this, Liu Quan’s face was brimming with confidence.
