Chen Erzhu thought for a moment and decided to take out the ginseng first to let the owner appraise it. Otherwise, not knowing the market, he might really get cheated.
He nodded, "Alright, let me show you!"
Saying this, he took out a box, gently opened it, and took out one of the wild ginsengs, placing it on the counter.
At this moment, the owner was completely stunned, staring at the wild ginseng as if he had seen gold, his breathing becoming incredibly rapid.
Seeing him like this, Chen Erzhu was genuinely worried he might get too excited and pass out.
Even Bai Yujie was dumbfounded, her eyes wide with disbelief, exclaiming, "Erzhu, where... where did you dig up such a robust wild ginseng?"
The wild ginseng Chen Erzhu took out was a full twenty centimeters long, thick and sturdy, with a vibrant color. Even the leaves were still green, exuding a vigorous vitality.
Even Chen Erzhu himself was surprised, not expecting it to have grown even more.
It must be due to the Dragon Qi, he thought.
He looked at the owner, who stood there like a statue, completely frozen.
"So, how about this wild ginseng of mine?" he asked.
The question snapped the owner back to reality. He gave Chen Erzhu a peculiar look, suppressed his shock, and leaned in to examine it closely.
The more he looked, the more astonished he became, muttering, "This really is wild ginseng, and it was just dug up recently. The vitality is so rich, and it's so large. How is this possible? It must be at least fifty years old. I've never seen wild ginseng this old..."
As he mumbled, he suppressed his excitement, his mind racing.
Such a precious wild ginseng, he had to get it. This thing was a life-saving treasure!
After a while, he looked up, his expression somewhat calmer, smiling at Chen Erzhu, "Brother, I must say, I never expected you to bring out something so good! It's just a pity that although this wild ginseng is old, its appearance isn't top-notch, not the finest quality!"
Chen Erzhu frowned slightly, "Just tell me, how much can you offer?"
The owner hesitated, then held up three fingers.
That number was unimaginable to her.
But Chen Erzhu's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you trying to cheat me? That's too insincere. Forget it, I'll go to the Hundred Herbs Pavilion."
As he spoke, Chen Erzhu put the wild ginseng away.
The owner panicked and quickly said, "Brother, don't be angry. I'll raise the offer, four hundred thousand, okay? Four hundred thousand is a huge sum!"
Chen Erzhu ignored him and turned to leave.
The owner hurried out, grabbing him, seemingly making a decision, "Five hundred thousand, brother, five hundred thousand is the highest price. No one else can offer that!"
Bai Yujie was stunned, covering her mouth, eyes wide.
What, five hundred thousand? It increased by two hundred thousand just like that?
She was completely numb. Since when was making money this easy?
Chen Erzhu looked at the owner and said calmly, "I have two of them, both about the same age. Can you handle both?"
"This..." The owner's face changed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother, give me a few days. I can raise the funds, even mortgage my house. Please!"
"Sorry, I don't have the patience!"

Chen Erzhu shook off his hand and walked out.
Bai Yujie finally reacted and quickly followed him out.
He could only watch as Chen Erzhu disappeared down the street, pounding his chest in regret. If only he had been more polite, he thought, lamenting the missed opportunity to make a fortune.
Bai Yujie felt like she was dreaming, quickly catching up to Chen Erzhu, incredulous, "Erzhu, five hundred thousand, why didn't you sell it? What if no one else offers that price?"
Chen Erzhu smiled confidently, glancing at her, "Don't worry, it's a good item. Someone will want it. Let's head to the Hundred Herbs Pavilion!"
Bai Yujie nodded, saying nothing more, but now, she looked at Chen Erzhu differently. It felt like he was no longer from her world, someone she could only look up to.
This feeling made her uneasy, unsure of what to do, so she silently followed behind him.
After a while, they saw a large building with a sign at the entrance: Hundred Herbs Pavilion Medicinal Materials Co., Ltd.
They walked in, finding a large hall bustling with people trading various medicinal materials.
Chen Erzhu asked around and learned that the purchasing area was further inside, so he and Bai Yujie headed in.
After walking down a long corridor, they reached an office, surprised to find it empty.
Chen Erzhu frowned. He had seen a sign for purchasing medicinal materials at the entrance. Why was no one here?
Just then, someone emerged from the restroom nearby.
Seeing who it was, both Chen Erzhu and Bai Yujie were taken aback. It was none other than Xu Hui, whom they had met that morning.
Xu Hui was now dressed in a black business suit, her slender waist accentuated, the tight skirt perfectly outlining her curves. Her long legs were clad in white stockings, making them look even more alluring.
She was also surprised, glaring coldly at Chen Erzhu and Bai Yujie, "What are you doing here?"
Chen Erzhu hadn't expected Xu Hui to work at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion. He frowned slightly, considering whether to leave.
But after thinking it over, he dismissed the idea. Other places might not offer the right price.
