The crowd gathering around was buzzing with conversation, each person contributing to the chatter, all excited about the ginseng taken out by the middle-aged man.
"Oh, I thought it was sothing special, but it’s just a ginseng plant. It’s no big deal. We have plenty of those at my place," Fang Yi and his friends heard a discordant voice.
However, it wasn’t spoken loudly, more like murmured under the breath.
Huang Xiaotian crossed his arms over his chest, giving off a cocky vibe.
Lei Wan’er mocked, "Stop showing off. The ginseng at your place is all artificially cultivated, probably gifts from visitors during the holidays, right?"
Huang Xiaotian protested with a snort, "Anyway, we’ve got plenty at ho!"
Lei Wan’er didn’t want to discuss such trivial matters with Huang Xiaotian and then turned to Fang Yi.
At that mont, Fang Yi was watching the scene, his gaze fixed on the ginseng, sparking Lei Wan’er’s curiosity. She leaned in and whispered, "Mr. Xiaotian, what do you think about the authenticity of that ginseng?"
Fang Yi chuckled, "As long as it’s not made from carrots, we’re good."
Huang Xiaotian imdiately asked, "Is it hogrown or wild?"
Fang Yi replied, "Wild."
Huang Xiaotian was skeptical, "How can you be sure it’s wild? It could be homade, you know."
Faced with Huang Xiaotian’s doubts, Fang Yi turned around, smiling slyly at Huang Xiaotian. After a few seconds, Fang Yi finally smiled and said, "Believe it or not."
Huang Xiaotian: "..."
In the scene, Dan Hu sat there, playing with the ginseng, making many people’s mouths water. Eventually, soone couldn’t help but shout, asking Dan Hu how much the ginseng cost.
Dan Hu chuckled and said, "I’m worried you can’t afford it if I tell you. This is at least a fifty-year-old ginseng. You can go ahead and estimate its value."
With that said, soone quickly did the math and spoke up, "Your ginseng weighs about three pounds. If calculated as wild, it’s one thousand per gram, so about thirty thousand. How about I offer you forty thousand? Will you sell it to ?"
Dan Hu chuckled, "You’re thinking too small."
With such a good thing, of course, the price needed to go up.
Moreover, besides this fifty-year-old ginseng plant, there were better things in his basket.
Furthermore, words instructed by that young man weren’t to be forgotten; things must move slowly, and the returns would undoubtedly be huge. Everything was going according to plan.
As more people gathered, the place was packed tight.
Just then, soone shouted, and suddenly a section of the crowd dispersed, revealing a few people walking over.
In the crowd, Fang Yi took a closer look and was slightly surprised; it’s quite a coincidence.
Among the people walking over, the one leading was a young man, followed by several others, including the clerk the group had encountered at the Dong Family’s pharmacy.
That young man was none other than Dong Ziyang, whom Fang Yi recognized from their encounter in the big mall. He also saw the followers from the mall.
Plus, with the clerk from the Dong Family’s pharmacy, anyone observant could tell who it was.
"It’s actually Dong Ziyang from Chun Hall, seems like he’s interested in that ginseng," Zhong Nan said with a smile, looking at the young man.
"Go ahead and snatch it. I support you!" Huang Xiaotian urged.
"Not interested."
Zhong Nan casually said, then turned to look at Fang Yi, smiling, "Mr. Xiaotian should be interested, right?"
