The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C311 – This Thing Is Not Worth Showing off

Upon unveiling the ginseng, the two men couldn’t hide their smugness.

They stood tall, chests puffed out in pride.

They were convinced that Su Ming had never laid eyes on a ginseng aged 200 years!

Watching from the sidelines, Su Ming couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

He thought it might be time to join in their little celebration.

Loong Qingyuan was brimming with self-satisfaction.

“Mr. Qin, even as a renowned physician, you’ve surely never encountered a 220-year-old wild ginseng, have you?” he asked, a challenging grin on his face as he lifted his chin in arrogance.

But then, he was met with silence.

Where were the gasps of astonishment and the rounds of applause he expected?

Why was it so eerily quiet?

Loong Qingyuan blinked, perplexed.

He scanned the faces around him, sensing that something was amiss.

Their composure baffled him.

Surely, they were struck dumb by his impressive display!

It was only natural for them to be stunned by such a treasure.

They weren’t calm; they were utterly astonished.

After all, the ginseng was a rare gem.

With a nonchalant smile, Loong Qingyuan addressed Xiao Luomu, “Your father is a man of great esteem. I wouldn’t be here if not for him. But, as you know, medical treatment comes at a cost.”

“I’ve already presented something of great value, a testament to my sincerity. Now, shouldn’t you reciprocate that sincerity?”

“This treatment will require the use of one of my ginseng’s rootlets. Naturally, my demands are modest.”

“I’ve heard your family owns a quadrangle courtyard in J City. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to offer it as payment for medical services, would it?”

“With the aid of my ginseng, he could live for at least another year or two. That’s a significant amount of time, enough to accomplish many things. Trading a quadrangle courtyard for an additional two years of life seems like a fair deal to me.”

Loong Qingyuan spoke with a sly smile, as if he were the one making a sacrifice.

Those around him were taken aback by his words.

Could he possibly be serious?

Why on earth would Xiao Luomu enlist someone like him to treat his father?

Was he insinuating that his father had overstayed his welcome?

Xiao Luomu was at a loss for words.

He couldn’t believe this man was actually asking for the quadrangle courtyard in the capital!

He was utterly shameless.

Had Xiao Luomu known earlier how bizarre that person was, he never would have allowed him to treat his father.

Xiao Luomu pondered for a moment.

Loong Qingyuan asked, “Mr. Xiao, are you considering a refusal? Are you reluctant to spend money in exchange for a few more years of your father’s life?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Xiao Luomu hesitated, wanting to speak further.

Loong Qingyuan pressed on: “Mr. Xiao, let’s be clear, the Xiao family is a distinguished lineage in J City. Ignoring your father’s wellbeing would tarnish not only your personal reputation but also that of your entire family.”

Xiao Luomu was at a loss for words.

Did the man ever stop talking?

Could he not pause for a second?

Would he ever allow Xiao Luomu to get a word in?

Loong Qingyuan proposed, “Mr. Xiao, true to your family’s stature, you certainly have a knack for negotiation. I’m willing to offer another rootlet. What do you say to trading two rootlets for a quadrangle courtyard?”

Xiao Luomu was utterly dumbfounded.

The man’s lack of shame was astounding.

He actually thought he could trade two rootlets for a quadrangle courtyard in the capital!

Initially, Xiao Luomu had thought this person, despite his arrogance, possessed some talent.

But now, Xiao Luomu was convinced he was dealing with a madman escaped from an asylum.

As Xiao Luomu opened his mouth, he saw Loong Qingyuan about to interject. He quickly interjected, “Mr. Loong, please hear me out. We do have the ginseng.”

“Mr. Xiao, you’re pushing your luck with this haggling! I’m only asking for a quadrangle courtyard. Fine! I’ll accept a loss on the deal.”

Loong Qingyuan believed he had anticipated Xiao Luomu’s response.

But suddenly, he sensed something amiss.

They had ginseng?

“Mr. Xiao, stop kidding around. This is a wild ginseng over two hundred years old. If you can produce a ginseng superior to mine, I’ll walk out of here on my hands!”

Loong Qingyuan was utterly incredulous.

The onlookers, however, were quite entertained by the prospect of him walking out on his hands.

“Alright,” Su Ming overheard from the sidelines.

He couldn’t believe someone would have such a desire!

Being a good Samaritan, Su Ming resolved to help him fulfill his dream.

Thus, Su Ming pulled a ginseng root from his pocket.

He had given them an abundance of herbs.

The surplus was stored in Xiao Luomu’s father’s hospital room for any unforeseen needs.

Initially, Loong Qingyuan paid them no mind.

He assumed they were envious of his superior possessions.

He dismissed their ginseng as mere artificially cultivated roots.

Suddenly, Loong Qingyuan stood up.

Judging by the color and shape, this ginseng was indeed a genuine wild rootlet.

His own ginseng had shriveled.

It turned somewhat black, its surface marred by numerous wrinkles.

In contrast, the ginseng in Su Ming’s hand was plump and appeared exceedingly fresh.

He had come by this ginseng through a combination of luck and tremendous effort.

Once in his possession, he cherished it like a treasure, carefully preserving it in a small box.

The ginseng Su Ming held, both in color and form, far surpassed his own.

Yet, Su Ming produced it with such nonchalance.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Su Ming had retrieved it from a pile of plastic bags.

How could he treat such a valuable item with such indifference?

He had previously mistaken it for a heap of fruit.

With a grin, Su Ming inquired, “Dr. Loong, wouldn’t you say my ginseng is a tad better than yours?”

Loong Qingyuan paused, his forehead beading with sweat.

“A ginseng of such high quality might be one of a kind. You’re incredibly fortunate to have found it.”

Loong Qingyuan swallowed hard, feeling quite embarrassed.

Su Ming, astonished, exclaimed, “I have many ginseng roots of this caliber.”
