Chapter 705: Encountered Again (4)_1
Everyone’s mouths twitched at those words, they were so arrogant there was no limit, but she had the capital to be so, didn’t she? Who could argue when her master was so formidable?
Fang Jing, however, laughed heartily, "Well, if it’s a token of filial piety from my granddaughter, then we will gladly accept it." After speaking, he had the butler quickly fetch a brocade box, then carefully packed the ginseng inside, before handing it over to the Ma Family with instructions to keep it safe.
"Miss Yang," at this moment, a white-haired old man suddenly approached Yang Ruxin with a very respectful attitude, "I am Su Shouren from the Tongji Hall."
"President Su," Yang Ruxin knew about several pharmacies in the area, thanks to Wang Zhenggang’s introductions, and also because Qian Er had some familiarity with the town. Over the past few days, she had been gathering information on medicine prices and properties, so she was aware that Tongji Hall was the leading pharmacy in Baihua County. Su Shouren was the president of the county’s medical trade association, a highly respected elder who had originally treated Fang Tianze’s illness and later recommended Wang Zhenggang.
"It is like this, about that hundred-year ginseng, I wonder if the young lady would be willing to part with just one root..." Su Shouren rubbed his hands together, "You must know that such a thing can save lives at critical times. They are indeed rare, so... of course, I will pay the market price..."
The eyes of many people around them lit up; indeed, such an item was rare and sought after. If she really was willing to sell, then it would be worth buying a root to keep for oneself.
Yet Yang Ruxin just smiled, "My master said that gold and silver are too vulgar... and besides, today is a birthday banquet, not an auction. Better not to mention it..."
There was nothing Su Shouren could say in response, but he still hadn’t given up hope. He was waiting for an opportunity to negotiate after the banquet, perhaps even enlist Fang Jing’s aid.
The way the people around them looked at Yang Ruxin changed once again, now carrying undertones of flattery in their gazes.
The Dai Family was slapped in the face once more.
