Chapter 49 - 49 I Don't Have a 50-Year-Old One, But I Do Have One That's 100 Years Old
49 I Don’t Have a 50-Year-Old One, But I Do Have One That’s 100 Years Old
Ye Feng was about to find a seat but was stopped by Shen Guanlin.
“Xiao Feng, come over and sit here.”
Hearing Grandpa Shen’s words, everyone’s eyes were on Ye Feng, they were filled with envy.
At the main table, the core members of the Shen family and a few distinguished guests were seated.
Even Shen Baitian was not qualified to sit there.
It could be seen how much importance Grandpa Shen placed on Ye Feng.
Ye Feng did not want to be too high profile.
But since Grandpa Shen had invited him, he had no choice but to sit down.
As he walked over, Ye Feng glanced at Young Master Zhao, who was sitting beside Shen Guanlin.
Although that Young Master Zhao had a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with worry, as if he had something on his mind.
If even Ye Feng could see it, how could Shen Guanlin not?
After three rounds of drinking…
“Old Fulin, do you have something on your mind?” Grandpa Shen suddenly asked.
Zhao Fulin was stunned for a moment. He immediately smiled bitterly, “Did Grandpa Shen see through it? Alas, to be honest, my father has recently been seriously ill and almost can’t be saved.”
Shen Guanlin exclaimed, “There’s such a thing? I wonder what illness your father has? This old man knows a few divine doctors, and I can help introduce them to you.”
Zhao Fulin shook his head. “We’ve already found the best doctor in the province. His condition has stabilized. It’s just that this serious illness has greatly damaged my father’s vitality. The doctor said that it’s best to find a wild ginseng that’s more than fifty years old to stabilize the foundation and cultivate the vitality, otherwise I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on for long.”
Shen Guanlin immediately fell into silence.
If it was something else, he might be able to help.
However, a 50-year-old wild ginseng was not something that could be bought with money.
Not to mention a 50-year-old one, even a 30-year-old one was rare.
Zhao Fulin hesitated for a moment and continued, “Grandpa Shen has a lot of friends. I hope you can help to spread the news. If anyone has a 50-year-old wild ginseng, I’m willing to buy it for 3 million. In addition, the Zhao family is willing to owe them a huge favor that can be fulfilled at any time.”
As soon as he said this, the banquet immediately boiled over.
In fact, the price of 3 million was not too scary.
Who would care about such a small amount of money to be able to attend Shen Guanlin’s birthday banquet?
What was important was the huge favor from the Zhao family.
The Zhao family was the richest family in Zhongshan Province, and their influence was unparalleled.
To be able to make them owe such a big favor, this was definitely not something that could be measured with money.
It was a pity that this 50-year-old wild ginseng was too rare.
Even if they wanted to befriend the Zhao family, they didn’t have the ability.
At this time, Ye Feng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, “Do you have to get a 50-year-old wild ginseng?”
Zhao Fulin looked at this young man for the first time. “The doctor said that it would take at least 50 years. Otherwise, there would be no effect. How many years do you have?”
Ye Feng shook his head, “I don’t have a 50-year-old wild ginseng.”
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shaojie, who was sitting at the next table, took the opportunity to ridicule him.
“Young Master Zhao, you really think too highly of him. With his poor appearance, does he look like he has a 50-year-old wild ginseng? Hahaha!”
Ye Feng ignored him. “I don’t have a 50-year-old wild ginseng, but I do have a 100-year-old one, I wonder if you can use it?”
“What?”
Zhao Fulin immediately stood up from his seat.
Then, he rushed to Ye Feng and grabbed him tightly.
It was as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
“Are you serious?”
Ye Feng furrowed his brows. “Young Master Zhao, you are hurting me.”
Zhao Fulin immediately let go of his hand and apologized, “I’m really sorry. I was just too excited. Do you really have a 100-year-old wild ginseng?”
Ye Feng nodded. “It’s in my car. I’ll go and get it now.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Zhao Fulin couldn’t wait any longer and hurriedly followed behind him.
Shen Guanlin also got up and followed curiously.
Since the host had followed, the guests at the banquet naturally followed suit.
The group of people arrived at the parking lot.
When they saw Ye Feng’s Ferrari Enzo, many of them were shocked.
They didn’t expect this young man to be so rich.
A supercar worth tens of millions was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Ye Feng did not care about what the others thought, he opened the trunk and took out a plastic bag covered with mud.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this.
Did this guy put that priceless wild ginseng in this garbage bag?
Ye Feng quickly gave an answer.
When he opened the plastic bag and revealed the palm-sized wild ginseng, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
They had all seen the world, but they had never seen such a large and complete wild ginseng.
Zhao Fulin was so excited that he immediately grabbed the wild ginseng.
Then, he quickly took out his phone and called the godly doctor that the Zhao family had hired.
Soon, a sage-like old Chinese medicine doctor appeared on the screen.
The old man was drinking his tea unhurriedly. “Young Master Zhao, is there something you need me for?”
Zhao Fulin quickly said, “Master Doctor Xu, I found a wild ginseng in Zhonghai. Can it cure my father’s illness?”
Master Doctor Xu stroked his goatee, looking like a master.
“I advise you not to waste your time. 50-year-old wild ginseng is basically extinct now. If the seller told you that it was 50 years old, you would most likely have met a scammer.”
Zhao Fulin immediately pointed his phone at the wild ginseng. “He said that it’s 100 years old.”
Master Doctor Xu glanced at the wild ginseng indifferently.
“Hehe, a hundred years? This kind of nonsense–”
Halfway through his words, he spat out a mouthful of tea.
