Chapter 26

The man waited with growing anxiety, terrified that Su Qianli might change her mind. At that moment, Su Qianli had already transferred a wild mountain ginseng from her portable space into her wicker basket. She took it out, handed it to the man, and said, "I don’t have that much cash on me right now, but I have this wild mountain ginseng. I don’t know if you’d be willing to trade. If you agree, I’ll add another 100 yuan." The man’s eyes widened in shock; he could hardly believe his ears. If anyone else had heard this, they would surely have thought Su Qianli had lost her mind. In these times of scarcity, wild mountain ginseng was an incredibly rare treasure. This particular root, being over thirty years old, could easily fetch at least 1,500 yuan on the open market—far exceeding the asking price for the jade bracelet.
