After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2200: Fake Ginseng

?

He Ning fell into deep thought. He had never thought about this issue. He did not believe in marriage or love. Furthermore, he was very sure that Qiao Mei would never fall in love with him in her lifetime.

It did not matter to him. In any case, he only wanted Qiao Mei to be by his side. He never had any extravagant hopes and did not think about anything else.

"Just be a good doctor!" He Ning said.

"With this ginseng, I can specially concoct pills for you. Some time ago, I have been focusing on researching another way to make pills. I guarantee that you can extend your lifespan after eating it! A 10-year-old ginseng can let you live very comfortably for half a year!" Huo Gao said happily.

He Ning had sent Bian Ke to marry into the Xia family so that he could get hold of Qiao Mei as soon as possible. His purpose was not to get the Xia family's ginsengs. He did not know how Bian Ke had managed to pry a ginseng out of Qiao Mei's hands, but there must be a story behind it.

"Don't use it yet. I want to get someone to investigate the matter clearly first. I can't let that girl ruin my plan," He Ning said with a slight frown.

Huo Gao stared at the ginseng in the box for a long time before he nodded. He took the ginseng and went to the small pharmacy on the first floor to prepare medicine.

Bian Ke would not be able to answer to her family if she did not bring back a ginseng. The remaining 20,000 dollars was not even enough to buy a ginseng seedling. Without ginseng, she could not face her family!

As she walked aimlessly around the streets, she suddenly remembered that Bian Jian had told her about a place where they made fake ginseng which could even be passed off as the real thing! He told her to be careful not to buy ginseng from there.

Bian Ke made her way to an abandoned residential building. Almost all the people living here were involved in some form of shady business. She went to the innermost room and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there?" Bian Ke asked.

A man opened the door and said, "What do you want?"

"I want to buy something which only you sell," Bian Ke said as she looked into the man's eyes.

The man understood that she was a client. He leaned to the side to let her in. As soon as she entered, she saw the wall lined with bottles of "ginseng" wine. Some of the wine was even dark red in color!

"You said you want to buy something, so what do you want? I have all kinds of supplements here. I can provide you with anything you want," the man said confidently.

"Ginseng, a 30-year-old wild ginseng. Can you replicate it?" Bian Ke asked.

When the man heard the word "replicate", he knew that this person knew about his background. He never sold ginseng to locals, not even to people from the neighboring cities. He was afraid that if they realized he sold them fake ginseng and came looking for him, the losses would outweigh the gains.

"Young lady, why do you want to buy this ginseng? Although I sell fakes, I have limits. I won't do anything that will endanger someone's life," the man said.

"It's a gift. It looks good when displayed at home." Bian Ke made up a lie.

The man took out a cloth bag from the room and opened it gently. There was a "ginseng" wrapped inside and Bian Ke held it in her hand to take a closer look. This "ginseng" looked much better than the one Qiao Mei sold her! This looked like good stuff!

"How much do you want for it?" Bian Ke asked.

"10,000 dollars," the man said.

"This is a fake! People will even think that it's a radish! You dare to ask me for 10,000 dollars!" Bian Ke said in shock.

"But I'm the only one who has this skill. I'm guessing that your family members have come here before. I'll give you my best price. 5,000 dollars. I won't sell it to you for anything less," the man said.

Bian Ke held on tightly to the money in her pocket. She knew that this man was the only one who could help her solve her current problem. She had wanted to keep the 20,000 dollars for herself! When she married into the Xia family in the future, she would try and get Meng Yuan to give her another tens of thousands of dollars so that she could buy a bigger house. "Alright! It's a deal!" Bian Ke put the cloth bag into her bag. By the time she reached home, it was already dark and everyone was waiting for her. After all, they had all contributed money to buy such an expensive ginseng. They naturally wanted to see what this treasure looked like.

Bian Ke took out the ginseng from her bag and displayed it on the table. Everyone was immediately attracted to it. Previously, they had only bought ginseng from other sellers. This was the first time they had obtained the Xia family's ginseng and they had heard that the Xia family's ginseng had miraculous effects. Now that they saw it for themselves, they were firm believers.

"Look at how good this ginseng looks! It's so big and intact and has a lot of ginseng roots! The ones we bought in the past were definitely not as nice as this one!" Bian Cui said

excitedly.

"That's right! There are so many ginseng roots. Let's split them among us! Each of us can get three!" Bian Xiang said with a greedy look.
