Chapter 191: County Head’s Embarra.s.sment
“Do you really have a thousand-year-old ginseng?”
When the county head heard these words, his eyes widened. For a moment, he actually forgot to invite Yun Xi into the house for a cup of water.
Yun Xi did not mind these things. The most important thing was to be able to complete the mission from s.p.a.ce.
Yun Xi extended both of her hands into her school bag and showed the thousand-year-old ginseng to the county head. She had taken it out from s.p.a.ce in advance. After all, one can only believe it when one sees it with their own eyes.
“It really is a thousand-year-old ginseng.”
!!
The county head took the thousand-year-old ginseng from Yun Xi. Looking at the grayish-brown rhizome on the ginseng and the faint fragrance it emitted, he was extremely surprised.
He did not expect that the treasure that he had been searching for for nearly half a year would actually appear in the hands of a young girl. It seemed so impossible.
The county head was especially excited. His eyes emitted a strong light as he hurriedly invited Yun Xi into his house for a cup of tea.
Seeing the county head being so cordial, Yun Xi smiled and said, “County head, thank you for your courtesy.”
“Miss Yun, you are here to solve my urgent problem. I really have to thank you. Why are you so polite?”
Hearing Yun Xi’s words, the county head immediately stood up and warmly invited Yun Xi into the house.
“I’m also worried about your wife’s illness, so I took the liberty of coming here myself.”
As soon as she entered the county head’s house, the heavy smell of Chinese medicinal soup hit Yun Xi’s nose.
The county head’s wife had always been very weak, thus she had been eating medicinal food long term.
The county head brought Yun Xi to the sofa and sat her down. He let her rest for a while before he went to the kitchen to get some tea.
“Miss Yun Xi, there’s nothing much for me to provide. There’s only a cup of tea. I hope you don’t mind.”
The county head placed the tea on the coffee table in front of Yun Xi. His hands kept fidgeting on his trousers, and he looked a little uneasy.
“Miss Yun Xi, I really need this thousand-year-old ginseng. I wonder how much does this Ginseng cost?”
Thousand-year-old ginseng was hard to come by, so one might even be worth a thousand gold coins. The county head had inquired about the price of a thousand-year-old Ginseng before seeing one.
It was said that even the cheapest thousand-year-old ginseng in the city could be sold for 10,000 yuan. Having 10,000 yuan on hand was almost equivalent to millionaires and multimillionaires in this era.
Even if the ginseng cost 10,000 yuan, the county head still wanted to buy it. After all, compared to money, his wife was more important to him.
However, he and his wife had seen a lot of famous doctors over the years. The savings of his family had almost been completely spent.
He was not the kind of corrupt official who accepted bribes. He really could not afford to buy this thousand-year-old ginseng right now, so when he saw it right in front of him, he was put in a difficult situation.
He really hoped that Yun Xi could offer a suitable price.
“County head, looking at the condition of your house, I know that if you couldn’t afford the market price for this thousand-year-old ginseng.”
Yun Xi also made it clear.
When the county head heard Yun Xi’s words, his face turned red and he did not know how to answer.
He really could not answer this question because he really did not have the money right now.
Seeing the county head’s embarra.s.sed expression, Yun Xi continued, “Then this thousand-year-old ginseng can be considered as a loan to the county head for the time being. When the time comes, you can use money or other things to compensate me. Let’s not use the money to measure its current value. This item is not given to you, but to the world.”
“Really?”
The county head did not expect this young girl to say such a thing.
The words ‘to the world’ greatly moved the county head.
“But I will never do a loss-making business. Even if I use this thousand-year-old ginseng today to make the county head my friend, I hope that you will take care of me in the future.”
After saying that, Yun Xi stood up and took her leave.
“Let me send you out.”
Seeing that Yun Xi was about to leave, the county head hurriedly stood up and sent her out of the door.
“There’s no need to send me off. I think that we will meet again in the future.”
Seeing Yun Xi gradually disappearing at the corner of the stairs, the county head’s heart could not calm down even after a long time.
His wife could finally be saved!
