Chapter 822 - 822 Ginseng
822 Ginseng
After CEO Li finished speaking, he took the gift box and went out to get into the car. He walked leisurely towards Ye Xuan’s Villa Number One.
The scene switched to Ye Xuan.
The Total Nourishment Soup had been stewed for a while. Ye Xuan looked at it and felt that it was about time, so he stood up from the sofa and spoke.
“Yes, it’s about time. I’ll go take a look.”
When the sisters heard this, they stopped using their cell phones and put down their phones. They stood up and followed behind, jumping around as they shouted.
“Me too, me too.”
“There’s soup! Wuhu!”
“I can already smell some fragrance. It smells so good!”
“It indeed smells so good. I’m looking forward to the pot opening!”
With that, they entered the kitchen together. The pot rumbled. The sunlight shone through the window on the pot, reflecting a faint light.
Looking at this scene, the sisters immediately felt as if they were not looking at a pot that was stewing a great tonic soup, but a pot of fine nectar liquid that only celestial beings in the heavens could drink.
“Let me see how it’s stewing.”
Ye Xuan muttered casually and took a step forward. Just as he was about to remove the lid of the pot, his sisters came forward and spoke.
“No, no. We have to partic.i.p.ate in such a sacred moment.”
Ye Xuan was also happy to hear that, but he didn’t say anything. Hence, he held the handle of the pot lid with his sisters and counted.
“I’ll count to three, two, one. Let’s open the pot together. Three, two, one, open the pot!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the lid of the pot was instantly lifted.
It brought with it a faint white mist that drifted up to the roof and gradually disappeared.
Then, the fragrance immediately spread out, like a scent sachet that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly bursting out. It mercilessly entered everyone’s noses and lingered endlessly, refreshing their hearts and souls.
The fusion of many kinds of nourishing herbs carried the smell of sea cuc.u.mbers, abalones, and other nourishing ingredients. There was also a hint of steam and white fog.
It was so fragrant that it made their hair stand on end. In an instant, Ye Xuan and his sisters felt as if their hearts had melted. It was as if they had accidentally entered the Feast of Peaches at the Heavenly Court. They were in a daze and smelled the fragrance that did not belong to the mortal world. They drooled. They were so unhappy.
“Oh my G.o.d, this smells too good. Little Brother, I’m going to die of my cravings just by smelling it!”
“It smells too good. Oh, it smells too good.”
“Not bad, not bad. Not bad at all.”
“Quick, I want to scoop a bowl and try it. This is too fragrant.”
As they spoke, the sisters were about to go up and get a bowl of soup. Ye Xuan quickly blocked them and turned off the fire. Then, he held the handle of the pot with a towel and spoke.
“What’s the hurry? I’ll bring it out first and wait for it to cool before drinking it.”
As he spoke, he carried the pot out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table. Then, he scooped a bowl for each of his sisters before scooping a bowl for himself.
The fragrance spread and lingered in the living room for a long time, making the sisters look at the bowl expectantly. They smelled it and blew at it, waiting impatiently.
Ye Xuan wasn’t in a hurry. He looked at his sisters and smiled.
“Look at you guys. You’re like children who have never seen soup before.”
When the sisters heard this, they immediately rolled their eyes at Ye Xuan. They picked up the bowl and blew on it, not arguing with Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was even happier. Just as he was about to say something, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from CEO Li.
[Chairman Ye, do you have time now? Can I send you the hundred-year-old ginseng?]
After reading the content, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. It would be a waste not to take it. Hence, he typed on the keyboard.
“Sure, you can do it. The address is x.x.xx.”
…
After a while, the CEO arrived as scheduled. The BMW stopped outside. After parking, he got out of the car, straightened his tie, took the gift box, and went to the door of the villa to ring the doorbell.
Ding, ding, ding, ding…
Ye Xuan craned his neck and looked at the door. He thought that CEO Li must have arrived, so he jumped off the stool and walked to the door. When he opened the door and saw that it was indeed CEO Li, he smiled and shook his hand.
“Please come in. CEO Li is really straightforward. You came just like that.”
“Hehe, Chairman Ye, you’re being too serious. Sorry for disturbing you.”
CEO Li spoke politely. Then, under Ye Xuan’s invitation, he entered the villa and sat on the sofa in the living room.
The dining table was not far away. His sisters were all sitting at the dining table, waiting for the Total Nourishment Soup to cool down. When they saw CEO Li, they looked at one another and didn’t know why he was here. After all, Ye Xuan didn’t say anything.
However, when they saw the box in CEO Li’s hand, they knew that he was here to deliver the ginseng that they had mentioned previously. At that moment, they were a little curious about what this hundred-year-old ginseng looked like, so they all came over and sat on the sofa.
“Chairman Ye, this is the hundred-year-old ginseng I mentioned previously. I’ve always treasured it. Take a look. Don’t despise it.”
As he spoke, CEO Li placed the box on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was also happy. If he despised a hundred-year-old ginseng, wouldn’t he have to steal steal two bottles of the Queen Mother’s wine from the Feast of Peaches?
However, he didn’t say anything. Then, his gaze landed on the gift box.
This gift box was really expensive. It was made of golden cedar wood and was embedded with many agate stones. The color was pure without any impurities. Moreover, there were some gold foil linings that looked especially expensive.
Looking at the exquisiteness of this gift box, Ye Xuan secretly clicked his tongue. After all, ordinary boxes didn’t deserve to contain a hundred-year-old ginseng.
Hence, he looked at CEO Li and smiled.
“Then I won’t hold back.”
With that, he reached out and took the box, indicating that he would accept it.
“It’s good that Chairman Ye likes it. It doesn’t matter if this ginseng lasts for a long time. The main thing is to see if anyone likes it. If no one likes it, then no matter how long it lasts, it’s just a small thing.”
As he spoke, CEO Li glanced at the pot on the dining table. He saw the huge tonics inside, such as sea cuc.u.mbers, abalones, big hens, and so on. There were also those huge tonic herbs. The decades-old herbs that he had given Ye Xuan previously were also inside. The corners of his mouth instantly twitched as he secretly clicked his tongue.
[Isn’t Chairman Ye too ambitious? He used so many good medicinal herbs and stewed them to eat them? How can such a medicinal herb be used to make soup? If I had this, I would have kept it for decades! Sigh, Chairman Ye is Chairman Ye. I can’t compare myself to him. I really can’t.]
Ye Xuan saw that CEO Li was in a daze as he looked at the soup and thought that he was greedy, so he spoke.
“Shall we drink together? I just made it. It’s still hot.”
Only then did CEO Li come back to his senses and hurriedly refuse.
“No, no. I still have something on, so I won’t disturb Chairman Ye.”
As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave. Ye Xuan didn’t ask him to stay and followed behind. As he bid farewell, he spoke.
“Since CEO Li still has something on, I won’t ask you to stay. Thank you for this ginseng. Let’s have a meal together next time.”
