Reincarnation: I Have Always Been Rich Chapter 43 - In the City (1)

Chapter 43: In the City (1)

The old man was not surprised by Chen Meng’er’s answer. He had been secretly observing Chen Meng’er, a three-year-old girl. When Chen Meng’er saw the yard full of herbs, a hint of understanding and interest flashed in her eyes, which did not escape the old man’s eyes.

It was obvious that the old man was curious about Chen Meng’er.

Chen Meng’er didn’t have the time to care about what the old man was thinking. What she was most concerned about now was whether the old man really knew the goods and whether the pharmacy could give this ginseng a reasonable price.

The old man brought Chen Meng’er and her father, Chen Ping, to a room in the courtyard. When Chen Meng’er saw the furnis.h.i.+ngs in the room, she knew that this was the old man’s study.

“Sit.” The old man gestured for Chen Ping and Chen Meng’er to sit down. Then, he turned his head and said to the young man who had followed him, “Xiao Liu, go make some tea. Oh right, if there’s milk at home, give this little girl some milk.”

“Yes, sir.” The person called Xiao Liu replied and left the door.

“May I know your name?” The old man turned his head and asked Chen Ping with a smile.

“Sir, my name is Chen Ping. This is my daughter, Chen Meng’er.” When Chen Ping walked into the study and saw the furnis.h.i.+ngs inside, he already looked very uncomfortable. When he sat down, his movements were very stiff. When he faced the old man’s question, he stood up and answered, “Yes, sir.” .

Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, sat on a mahogany chair with a swagger. She raised her eyes and looked at the furnis.h.i.+ngs around the study. When she saw something that caught her eye, she nodded her head in praise. If she saw something that she did not like, she would pout her little mouth, she had a displeased look on her face.

“Then I’ll call you Chen Ping. Don’t be nervous. Feel free to call me anything you like, just like your daughter. Oh right, don’t call me Mister either. Everyone outside calls me Elder Liu. You can call me Elder Liu too.” Elder Liu liked Chen Meng’er very much in his heart, in pa.s.sing, he also found Chen Ping, Chen Meng’er’s father, much more pleasing to the eye.

“Okay, elder Liu,” Chen Ping said,

Chen Meng’er finished observing the furnis.h.i.+ngs around the study and felt that it was time to get down to business. “Dad, Take the thing out and show it to Grandpa Liu.”

With Chen Meng’er’s reminder, Chen Ping remembered what they were here for. “Oh. Okay,” he agreed and reached out to take out something wrapped in cloth from the cloth bag he carried on his back. Then he handed it to Elder Liu. “Elder Liu, take a look.”

Elder Liu took the thing wrapped in cloth. He didn’t take it to heart at first. It was only because he liked Chen Meng’er that he agreed to bring the father and daughter to the backyard. However, when Elder Liu opened the cloth and saw the ginseng wrapped inside, his eyes suddenly lit up, he couldn’t care less about his body that was no longer young. He stood up from his seat. He held the ginseng with a face full of surprise. “This, this.”

When Chen Meng’er saw Elder Liu’s reaction, she knew that he was someone who knew what was good. This made her sigh in relief. Now, she didn’t have to worry anymore. Just by looking at Elder Liu’s reaction, this ginseng would definitely be sold for a good price.

Chen Meng’er felt the pressure in her heart disappear, and she relaxed. At this moment, Xiao Liu walked in with tea and milk. He handed the cup of milk to Chen Meng’er. Chen Meng’er did not stand and bow. She took the milk and brought it to her mouth.

Chen Ping did not understand why Elder Liu’s reaction was so strong. He did not understand ginseng. He only knew that wild ginseng was a tonic and could be sold for money. As for the age of the ginseng, he, a farmer, did not know.. “Elder Liu, what about this ginseng?”
