After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 786 Lower Quality Ginseng

Speaking of this matter, it was really strange. They had found many people to go and pick ginseng from the mountains near Qiao Mei's village and these people had picked many ginsengs of various sizes, the oldest being about 10 years old, but the medicinal effects were very ordinary.

The ginsengs all looked very shriveled and were very different from the ginseng that Qiao Mei had given them. The ginsengs that they sent people to pick were no different from what they could buy in the market.

This way, they did not have any other option except to buy ginseng from Qiao Mei. There was no other way.

The small ginsengs they picked were actually previously scattered around by Qiao Mei. She gave them some energy and let them grow freely. The quality was definitely not as good as those that Qiao Mei nurtured.

"Just drink it. Do you think you can drink your 1.28 million dollars worth of ginseng every day? Qiao Mei will be bringing two ginsengs with her this time. When the time comes, you can drink whatever you want," Huo Gao said unhappily.

The attendant walked in with a box and said softly, "Sir, this is ginseng from Foshan Village. A villager dug it up. I saw that it was different from the ones we picked ourselves, so I bought it."

He Ning looked up at Huo Gao, who immediately understood what he meant. The moment he opened the box, a delicate fragrance wafted over. This was the kind of ginseng that Qiao Mei had given them!

Huo Gao's eyes immediately lit up, but it was a pity that it was dug up by someone who did not know how to dig for ginseng. There were not many intact roots left and the main body was full of bumpy marks. The value was instantly lower than what Qiao Mei had sold them.

"How much did you pay?" Huo Gao asked, his heart aching.

"That person doesn't seem to know his stuff. He sold it to me for 500 dollars," the attendant said.

Even after knowing the price, Huo Gao's heart still ached. This was a 60-year-old ginseng that was rare on the market. It was such a pity that it was destroyed just like that.

Although 500 dollars was an appropriate amount to pay, he was still unhappy.

It seemed that Qiao Mei was right. Her grandfather was the only person in the entire village who knew how to pick ginseng. She did not know how to do it either. It looked like they could only work with Qiao Mei in the future.

Ginseng was different from other things. Once it was damaged, it would dry up faster than good quality ginseng. By that time, there would probably be no value in preserving it.

Ordinary families would not need the quantity that He Ning needed Therefore, there were very few people who would choose to buy ginseng at a high price.

"What a waste of such good ginseng," Huo Gao said with a sigh.

He Ning heaved a sigh of relief. He had been wondering if Qiao Mei had used some kind of fertilizer or unique skill, as well as why she was the only one who could get good ginseng while the people he sent could not find anything.

It seemed that he was overthinking things. It was Qiao Mei's grandfather who had extraordinary skills. This was indeed a skill that ordinary people did not have, and He Ning's doubts about Qiao Mei gradually dissipated.

The ginseng that had been picked up by someone else was the one which Qiao Mei had missed out on. There were supposed to be two more ginsengs on the mountain. If not for Qiao Fu's sneak attack on them, no one would have been able to get their hands on even one ginseng and be able to extort a large sum of money from He Ning!

"I'll just eat this ginseng that's of a lower quality. Don't use the rest first. We can also throw away those small and useless ginsengs or sell them to the nearby Chinese medicine shops at a low price. These things are useless to me," He Ning said disdainfully.

With He Ning's current body condition, eating the small ginsengs was like eating carrots. The nutrition inside them could not help his body at all. He could only rely on good quality ginseng to keep himself alive.

After dealing with the matters in the capital, it was time to deal with the remaining matters in the village. Qiao Mei started to get a headache when she thought of the amount of seeds in Li Gui's house. By now, they had already collected a total of five tons.

This would amount to 10,000 dollars. She wondered if He Guang could take all the goods off her hands.

Qiao Mei called He Guang using the phone number that Chen Hu had given her.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Mei. I'm looking for Director He," Qiao Mei said.

He Guang immediately became agitated and said excitedly, "Qiao Mei! You finally call! For the past two days, your Uncle Hu has been so busy that he doesn't have a chance to give me your phone number. I'm so anxious about not being able to contact you! It's so good that you call me!"
