Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 175 The flood washed the Dragon King Temple

Mr. Tai hurried to open the door. Standing outside the door was a steward in his 30s and a young man delivering a letter.

Needless to say, this is the person from the Wu family who needs wild ginseng.

The steward is also very clever. He greets people with a smile before he can bow his hands and says, "Oh, this uncle is so polite. I'm so sorry for disturbing your meal!"

Banxian'er heard the noise in the room and quickly stood up and said, "Manager Wu, please come in quickly. You're welcome."

Mr. Tai turned sideways to welcome Manager Wu into the room, and then gave the young man a handful of copper coins.

The young man was so happy that he shouted to Ban Xian'er and ran back to his stall.

Manager Wu was asked to sit down, and soon another boy came to clean the dishes.

Manager Wu thanked him, and while looking at Mr. Tai without any trace, he was happy for this unexpected surprise.

That day, he followed his master's instructions and went to various drug stores to look for wild ginseng, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Afraid of being punished by his master, he went to a fortune-telling stall when he was ill and sought medical treatment.

At that time, the blind man said that there would be good news in a few days, but he thought it was an excuse and felt sorry for the ten cents he had thrown away.

Who would have thought that this blind man was so effective that a ginseng seller actually came to find him.

Mr. Tai had learned from the past experience of the drug store, so he didn't speak first and just picked up food for his little granddaughter.

Zhuzhu secretly looked at Manager Wu, and then she and her grandfather kept blinking.

The old man was funny, but he also understood what his granddaughter meant.

Even if the manager of the Wu family is not a good person, at least he is not bad. If it is a transaction, there will definitely be no trouble.

Banxian'er fumbled and turned to Manager Wu and introduced, "Manager Wu, this is Mr. Tai Liu from Taijia Village. Yesterday he dug up a wild ginseng in the mountain. Because he is familiar with me, he just came here to chat. As soon as I heard about it, I hurriedly Let someone call you.

"You two will discuss the exact price of the goods, and I will be the one to help. But we are all Tai'an folks. Even if we can't make a deal, we should be more friendly. Don't turn around and scold me, an old blind man, for twirling his head indiscriminately!"

"No, no!" Manager Wu quickly thanked him, "Sir, he had a good fortune. He said that there would be news in a few days, but now it has come true. I can't thank you enough. No matter whether the transaction is successful or not, I will not miss the thank you gift from you. "

After that, he said to Mr. Tai, "Uncle, don't worry. Although our Wu family is not well-known in the city, we are also a scholarly family and will not do such deceptive things at will. Please give us your participation first. I'll take a look, and then we'll discuss the price. As long as there's no problem with the ginseng, I will never let you suffer a loss."

Mr. Tai nodded, pulled the basket aside and started to rummage through it.

As a result, the door of the house was knocked again at this time.

Mr. Tai was alert and immediately kicked the basket under the table.

Manager Wu didn't like being interrupted. He frowned and got up to open the door. Unexpectedly, it was his coachman outside the door.

He lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

The driver shrunk his neck, quickly handed over the purse in his hand, and responded, "Madam knew that you found wild ginseng, so she sent someone a bank note to ask you to bring wild ginseng back no matter what. Our master's medicine It’s gone. We need to refill the prescription tomorrow. I can’t wait..."

Manager Wu relaxed his brows, and when he took the bag and was about to speak, the coachman glanced across the room inadvertently, and suddenly shouted in surprise, "Oh, it's the old man of the Tai family!"

"Do you know him?" Manager Wu was even more surprised and couldn't help but turn around to see Mr. Tai.At this moment, Mr. Tai also looked over. He was stunned for a moment before he stood up and said with a smile, "This little brother has been to our house before!"

The coachman also quickly handed over his hand and said with a smile, "Old man, we meet again."

Manager Wu was anxious and secretly glared at the coachman, who quickly explained a few words.

"After the New Year, our wife brought the young master back from Zhuangzi and accidentally overturned the carriage. It was Mr. Tai's family who helped a lot. Later, the wife asked Mrs. Ge and I to send a thank-you gift."

Manager Wu suddenly understood and smiled with a little more confidence.

"Oh, Uncle Tai, we really flooded the Dragon King Temple. It turns out we are a family."

Mr. Tai also felt a little closer and said with a smile, "Isn't it? What a coincidence."

The driver handed over his hand, closed the door for him and hurried downstairs.

Mr. Tai was grateful for the rice flour gifts he had received. He quickly took out the bark bag and opened it to show Manager Wu.

Manager Wu usually works in the front yard of the Wu family, taking care of Mr. Wu's chores.

Mr. Wu has been ill all year round, and he has to deal with medicinal materials.

After almost a glance, he said happily, "Oh, this ginseng has been around for hundreds of years. It's rare, it's simply too rare!"

Ban Xian'er complained in her heart that the steward had never seen the world. Not to mention the ginseng plant secretly hidden by the Tai family, even the one that Old Man Wang bought was much better than this one!
But he wouldn't say it. He just echoed and praised it, "Yeah, I can't see it, but it smells like ginseng. It's really good."

Manager Wu looked left and right for a while, then tied the bark bag back up and said.

"Mr. Tai, since we are one of our own, I don't want to be polite to you anymore. Our master really needs wild ginseng for medicine. The one you dug up is also of excellent quality. According to the market price, it should be 120 taels. But our wife has given instructions, You have to give a high price. In this way, I can decide and give you 150 taels, what do you think?"

Mr. Tai quickly waved his hand and refused, "Manager Wu, the rice, flour, grain and oil that your government gave to our family helped our family through the difficult time of drought. I can't thank you enough.

"In my opinion, I don't want a penny. As long as your master can recover, our family will be happy. But I am afraid that neither you nor your wife will agree.

"So, let's make a compromise. Don't talk about the high price of 150 taels, and I won't say the half price of 50 taels. Let's just price the wild ginseng at 100 taels. Let's talk about our feelings as a family, and you can go back and do business."

Manager Wu felt very excited after hearing this, and he really looked up to Mr. Tai with admiration.

He went back and told his master these words. He was afraid that the master would also remember the love between the Tai family and might have to move around more frequently in the future.

Thinking like this, he responded, "Okay, old man, I will take 100 taels of these wild ginseng back home first. If our master scolds me for treating you badly, then I will go find the old man again."

"No, no, our family is very happy to have received 100 taels. After all, it is a windfall gifted by God. Don't be greedy." Mr. Tai pushed the bark bag over with a smile.

Manager Wu quickly took out 100 taels of silver notes from his wallet. For the convenience of the old man, he also gave many small denominations of 20 taels and [-] taels.

As the middleman, Banxian'er touched every banknote before giving it to Mr. Tai.

Both the buyer and the seller were happy and immediately asked the waiter to add food and drinks. Manager Wu drank two glasses of wine with him, ate a few bites of food and hurried back to report.

At this time, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue also came back. The bark bags in the baskets were gone and replaced with heavy silver.
