Chapter 29 Two Hundred Years Ginseng
"It's really costing you money."
Su's father made some concessions, but seeing Chu Yang's firm attitude, he had no choice but to accept it with a wry smile.
On the other side, He Lu saw a hint of disdain on his face when he saw that Chu Yang had given him a tube of tea as a greeting gift.
Although he has been abroad for the past few years, he still understands the tea market.
He had never heard of this Wuzi Xianhao tea brand!
Thinking of this, He Lu suddenly thought about it and asked with a smile: "Classmate Chu, where is your tea produced and how much does it cost per gram?"
"I don't know the place of origin, and the price is very cheap, not as good as those famous teas."
Hearing him take the initiative to talk, Chu Yang knew that he had bad intentions, so he replied perfunctorily.
He Lu chuckled lightly and said to Su's father: "Uncle, I heard that a lot of low-quality tea has appeared on the market recently. Although it looks good, it is actually dyed with pigment.
Drinking this kind of tea of unknown origin will cause great harm to the body. If you like famous teas such as West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, or Tieguanyin, I have formal channels that can help you get some. "
He Lu was talking eloquently over there, but Chu Yang was furious when he heard it.
This bastard could just tell him that this is fake tea!
Su's father did not expect He Lu to say these words. His eyes turned around the two of them, and he immediately understood that they were not easy to deal with.
"Haha, Xiao He's reminder is right. I have also noticed this situation. However, the tea sent by Xiao Chu should not be that kind of inferior product. After all, a name as grand as Wuzi Xianhao is not one of those inferior products. A good and profiteer can think of it.”
Su's father was worthy of being a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years. These words not only recognized He Lu's good intentions, but also gave Chu Yang a small compliment, making both parties happy.
This kind of skill in dealing with others is really not something ordinary people can achieve!
He Lu was a little disappointed when his plan failed.
However, he quickly regained his composure and took out a gift box from the side and placed it on the coffee table.
"Uncle, this is the Liaodong wild ginseng I asked a friend to buy a few days ago. It is said to be two hundred years old. You are now recovering from a serious illness, so it can be used to replenish your body."
With that said, He Lu opened the lid of the gift box and showed it to the two of them proudly.
In movies and TV dramas, people always mention century-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials, all of which are priceless.
I heard that this wild ginseng was two hundred years old, and several people looked into the box in surprise.
This ginseng is about 40 centimeters long, with a snow-white body and smooth skin. There are roots of different lengths on it, and it looks like a hairy white radish.
This hand surprised Su's father. Among the gifts he returned before, there were also ginseng and other precious medicinal materials, but he had never seen such a large gift.
"Uncle, this ginseng is very rare. It can be said to be priceless but not marketable. If you soak it in water and drink it, it will definitely be a hundred times better than drinking those messy tea leaves."
He Lu felt a little proud. The ginseng was really the right gift. He didn't expect that he could step on Chu Yang by the way.
Su's father naturally refused with all his strength after hearing this. As an official, he never accepted gifts from others, let alone such expensive things.
The two of them were pushing and shoving, arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick.
Chu Yang didn't interrupt, and silently opened his fiery eyes, wanting to see how rich the spiritual energy of this ginseng was.
Huh?
However, when his eyes fell on the box, he found that there was very little spiritual energy in the ginseng, not even as much as the fruits on the table!
Is this ginseng fake?
Chu Yang silently took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the ginseng, and secretly sent it to the God of Cookery.
Chu Yang: Brother, help me see if this 200-year-old ginseng is fake?
After waiting for a while, the God of Cookery replied: Judging from the appearance, it should be a real ginseng, but the surface of this ginseng is too smooth, and the roots are too short and thin. Although the size is quite long, it does not look like a wild ginseng.
As far as I know, the growing environment of wild ginseng is harsh, and the surface will become uneven. In order to absorb the aura from the earth's veins, the roots of wild ginseng can even grow to more than ten feet. But yours does not have these characteristics, which is a bit strange... …
So that’s it!
Chu Yang immediately understood that this ginseng should be artificially grown, not the Liaodong wild ginseng that He Lu said!
In recent years, because wild ginseng is difficult to harvest and its quantity is very rare, the price of ginseng has been very high.
The huge benefits here have prompted many profiteers to start using artificial methods to cultivate large quantities of them.
That’s not all. In order to speed up the growth process of ginseng, some profiteers even use chemical fertilizers and hormones in order to put it on the market as soon as possible.
This kind of ginseng has a good growing environment and artificially provided nutrients. It will be available on the market in a few years.
These pampered artificial ginsengs have naturally lost the characteristics of wild ginseng.
He Luhua bought this artificially cultivated ginseng at a high price, so the spiritual energy contained in it was so lacking.
After figuring out the reason, Su's father and He Lu were still pushing back.
At this time, Su’s mother walked out of the kitchen and complained:
"Lao Su, you are too stubborn. Xiao He gave you ginseng as a gift. Our two families have been friends for decades. Are you still afraid of others gossiping?
Besides, Xiao He has been close to Yue'er before. If they can get along, maybe we can be a family. You and your future son-in-law are not seeing each other, you are really stubborn! "
After listening to Su's mother's words, Su's father's face darkened and he said angrily: "This is a matter of principle. What does it have to do with Xiaoyue's personal issues? If I say you can't accept it, you can't accept it!"
At this time, Su Yue also came out of the kitchen and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, don't match me up randomly. I'm still a student now. Besides, you know my dad's character, so don't force him!"
When Su's mother heard that the two disagreed, she threw her apron in anger and howled:
"Why is my life so miserable? This father and daughter teamed up to bully me! You don't accept the priceless things of a young man, but accept the worthless broken tea leaves of this poor boy. You are really blinded by lard!"
As soon as these words came out, the living room suddenly became quiet.
As the old saying goes, don't hit people in the face, and don't expose people's shortcomings.
Today, Chu Yang came to visit with sincerity. What's more, he was the lifesaver of Su's father. The Su family didn't say that they were grateful, but at least they had to treat him with courtesy.
Now, Su's mother's words directly offended Chu Yang!
In fact, Su's mother's thoughts are easy to understand. She is a mercenary woman who despises the poor and loves the rich.
After hearing about Chu Yang's story, she felt that he had no money prospects and did not want her daughter to date him.
Later, when Su's father fell ill and was hospitalized, she found that He Lu was very concerned about her daughter, so she thought of bringing the two together and excluding Chu Yang.
Although Chu Yang saved Su's father with the rejuvenation pill, she also knew that Chu Yang was just a poor student, which was far from He Lu, who became a senior executive of a foreign company at the age of 25.
If the two families could get married, it would be of great help to Su's father's career and the Su family's economy.
Therefore, after learning that Chu Yang was going to visit her, she deliberately invited He Lu to come to her house, hoping to take this opportunity to make Chu Yang, who wanted to eat swan meat, give up!
