Chapter 334: Chapter 334 Assist by Taking Action
Qu Meimei looked at her eldest son, "Have you also asked at the acquisition station?"
Jiang Bo replied, "I have, they said they only have a thirty-year-old ginseng, but the old doctor said the medicine for my dad needs to be at least fifty years old to be effective."
Luo Qiao, having understood, asked quietly, "Are you looking for ginseng?"
The Jiang family all looked up at Luo Qiao, and Jiang Bo responded, "Yes, my grandfather urgently needs ginseng for his medicine to save his life."
Luo Qiao glanced around and asked, "You need ginseng that is over fifty years old?"
Jiang Dongli said, "Yes, Luo Qiao, do you know where we can find some?"
Luo Qiao nodded and said, "You go home first; I’ll deliver what I have on hand and then come to your place later."
After returning home with Stone and seeing Lu Yichen in the courtyard, she said, "Brother Lu, I need to go out for a bit and will be back soon. You two go ahead and eat."
Lu Yichen said, "The noodles are already cooked. Eat before you go, or they will clump together by the time you come back."
After entering the kitchen and putting down the tofu she was carrying, Luo Qiao saw the noodles were indeed ready, "Then okay, I’ll eat before I go."
Lu Yichen hurriedly served the food, and Luo Qiao found a place for the tofu she brought back before sitting down to eat.
After the meal, she went back to the room, took the ginseng out of the space, and wrapped it. She had feared that taking out fresh ginseng in an emergency might arouse suspicion, and the ones stored in the storeroom were all over a hundred years old and not suitable to be taken out.
Therefore, she had prepared two ginseng roots, seventy to eighty years old, just in case, and now she could use them to repay the favor she owed for getting the regular spot. She had been worrying about how to repay it.
After greeting the two in the kitchen, she walked out of the courtyard, only to hear Lu Yichen call from behind, "Be careful, the road is slippery."
When Luo Qiao arrived at the Jiang family’s house, the family was still fretting. Seeing her, Qu Meimei asked with a hint of hope, "Luo Qiao, do you know where we can get what we need?"
Luo Qiao didn’t beat around the bush and directly took out the processed ginseng root. The Jiang family was flustered, not expecting Luo Qiao, this young lady, to have something so valuable in her possession.
Jiang Dongli stood up immediately and after carefully inspecting the ginseng asked, "Is this ginseng yours?"
Luo Qiao nodded.
Then, excitedly, he asked, "Can we have this ginseng?"
Realizing his mistake right after, he clapped his hands and corrected, "Not have, I mean sell to us."
Luo Qiao smiled, "I brought this over specifically for you all; otherwise, I wouldn’t have delivered it."
After pacing in place a few times to calm himself, Jiang Dongli said to Luo Qiao, "Luo Qiao, you truly are my savior. Look, we don’t really understand the value of this ginseng.
I think we need someone to come over and check if it’s old enough to be used as medicine. If it is, we can have them appraise it on the spot. What do you think?"
Luo Qiao had no objections. Having someone come over was also good for settling debts openly. She knew the age of the ginseng, but she still needed an authority to make the Jiang family believe it.
Jiang Bo, thrilled, rushed out and returned over an hour later with a man in his sixties. The snow hadn’t stopped at all, and they were both covered in it upon arrival.
Once the two men had settled down, the old man asked, "Where’s the ginseng? Let me have a look."
As the wrapped ginseng was unveiled, the eyes of the doctor lit up immediately. After examining it a few times, he appraised, "Good ginseng, excellent indeed! This root must be seventy to eighty years old."
Jiang Dongli asked eagerly, "So with this ginseng, my father’s medicine will be complete, right?"
The doctor affirmed, "Yes, with this ginseng, at the very least his life will be saved. He can recuperate slowly afterward."
Jiang Dongli looked at Luo Qiao and continued, "How much would you say this ginseng is worth?"
The old doctor gently placed the ginseng on the table, "At the acquisition stations now, this ginseng is probably worth around two to two and a half thousand."
As the snow fell heavily, Jiang Bo first escorted the old doctor home and conveniently picked up the medicine. He would come back to his parents later and head together to the old house.
