"Youyou, where did you pick up such a slly old man?"
Chi Zaozao saw Chi Youyou returning with a dirty old man, pinched her nose, and took two steps back in disgust.
The little one had a big cleanliness habit.
"It’s a long story, let get sothing for the gentleman to eat first."
Although Chi Youyou’s family rarely cooked, they had plenty of food.
In the past couple of days, she made a few purple sweet potato buns, shaped like purple sweet potatoes with purple sweet potato filling inside, and so little pumpkin tiger head buns.
She first poured so water for the gentleman, then used a newly bought small electric cooker to steam the buns.
These were all learned online. Besides her old thods, Amber also introduced her to many new things.
Given how crude her father was, how could he possibly make such cute things~
Fifteen minutes later, Mr. Rong finally ate the warm purple sweet potato buns and pumpkin tiger buns.
"Delicious!"
"Delicious!"
"Delicious!"
He shouted "delicious" three tis!
He was really starved!
After stuffing the last little tiger bun, he sighed.
He had originally brought a week’s worth of dry rations, and although he ventured deeper, he could have managed to last until he got ho, but unfortunately, he had bad luck and encountered a fierce tiger in the deep mountains!
Ah...
It’s just sad when you talk too much!
At his old age, not only was he driven to run around by wild animals, but he was also terribly scared. Luckily, he escaped, but all the things he brought and dug up in the mountains were lost!
"Young lady, why are you living in such a remote place? There are wild animals in these mountains!"
Thinking about it, Mr. Rong couldn’t help but worry.
Wild animals?
Didn’t expect they really existed in these mountains!
Emmm...wait, could it be snow?
"Gentleman, we rarely go deep into the mountains. This is the Western Suburb of the Imperial City, so it’s relatively okay."
Chi Youyou hesitated but didn’t ask further.
"I’ve already reached the West Suburb!"
Mr. Rong sighed with emotion; he had traversed the entire Imperial City, entering the mountains from the East Suburb and sohow made his way to the West Suburb!
"By the way, gentleman, why were you alone and faint from hunger in the mountains?"
Fainted from hunger?
Although Chi Zaozao was busy with her robot, her little ears were always perked up. Hearing the words "fainted from hunger," she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Isn’t this just soone trying to scam them?
"I only accidentally ended up in this state after encountering wild beasts. It’s a long story...I’m so grateful for your help, otherwise these old bones would have been left here!"
Mr. Rong was truly speaking from the heart, feeling he had walked a round in Yama Hall!
"Oh, what I said earlier is all true! You can sell your baby ginseng for three million! I also want the herbs planted in the backyard! Not a penny less for you! I..."
Mr. Rong, halfway through speaking, reached for his phone only to realize that everything he had was lost in the mountains!
"Young woman, could I borrow your phone to make a call? I’ll have soone bring the money over!"
He considered telling her his identity directly, but was worried she might not believe him, or perhaps had never heard of him at all.
Even though he was quite famous in the Chinese dicine community, it didn’t an everyone would know him!
"Gentleman, don’t worry. Take your ti to recover first."
As Chi Youyou spoke, she also took her phone, "This place is quite remote. If it’s inconvenient for your family to co over, I can take you back."
"It’s convenient! I’ll make a call, just tell the exact address...eh? Your phone is ringing!"
The old man dialed a number, and before it connected, he heard a ring tone, thinking it was Chi Youyou’s, only to realize it was coming from outside the yard.
Soone was there!
Who would co at this ti?
Chi Youyou thought that the only person who knew the address was Song Shiyu; it seed no one else did.
Mr. Rong looked at the phone in his hand, which wasn’t connected yet, while the ring tone continued outside the yard.
"The number you have dialed is currently unavailable."
Only after hearing the familiar machine tone from the phone did the ringing outside stop!
The two exchanged glances, looked at the still connecting phone in their hands, could it really be such a coincidence?
Chi Youyou walked to the door, saw Song Shiyu and Rong Junyan standing outside, and was about to ask why they were there, but was startled by a roar from behind.
"You brat, what are you doing here!"
The old gentleman ca out grumbling, walking towards the door.
Eh?
"Grandpa."
In Chi Youyou’s confusion, Rong Junyan called out, "I should be asking you that. Weren’t you in the East Suburb? Had it not been for your live stream, I wouldn’t have known you made it to the West Suburb and even fainted from hunger in the mountains..."
"Ahem... an accident! Just an accident!"
Mr. Rong wished he could find a hole to crawl into. Couldn’t his grandson let him save so face?
"Wait a minute, even if you saw on the live stream, how did you know I was here?"
He suddenly realized, "You know each other!"
He looked at Chi Youyou and then at his grandson.
"Never mind, that’s not the point. Xiaoyan, you arrived just in ti, transfer three million to the young lady for ! I bought a baby ginseng from her."
Rong Junyan was about to explain their relationship, but his grandfather waved it off, uninterested, his mind fully occupied by the baby ginseng!
Luckily, Chi Youyou didn’t show her face on the live stream, or else the Rong family’s reputation might have been thrown into outer space by the old man.
"Miss Chi, could you please send your bank account number."
"This..."
Three million!
Chi Youyou was a bit in disbelief, "Um...do you need to double-check? Are you sure this is the baby ginseng you’re looking for? Could there be other baby ginsengs?"
With what seed like a windfall, Chi Youyou was a bit flustered.
Though she now had a six-figure savings account, three million was indeed a bit too much for her to handle.
"Rest assured, Miss Chi. My grandfather is an elder of the Chinese dicine Association. If he says so, it wouldn’t be wrong."
Rong Junyan explained.
Instinctively, Chi Youyou glanced at Song Shiyu, really?
"The Rong family has been practicing traditional Chinese dicine for generations, producing an Imperial Physician in the past. Their sensitivity to dicinal ingredients is unmatched in the Imperial City. If Elder Rong says your baby ginseng is worth three million, then it certainly is!"
"Song Family boy, stop flattering . I’m just an old man researching dicinal ingredients and culinary herbs, nothing so exaggerated. Young lady, rest assured, I won’t take advantage of you!"
Although Mr. Rong was being modest, his posture unconsciously straightened, and he exuded quite an air, if ignoring his current disheveled state.
Chi Youyou took a deep breath, with Song Shiyu’s words echoing in her mind. If Elder Rong says it’s worth three million, then it must be worth it...
Darn!
Dad!
What else are you hiding from !!!
