The Luxury of Discount King

Chapter 6 A Veteran Doctor

This lady was indeed Jennifer Austin. Conrad was stunned to see such a beauty. She looked even

more attractive in person than on TV news.

She had a ravishing face with red lips, fair skin, white-snow-liked teeth and delicate eyebrows. She

looked like a fairy princess with light makeup.

Jennifer was also stunned when seeing Conrad. She assumed he should be a snobbish businessman

or a simple countryman. But it actually turned out to be a charming gentleman with nice suit, looking

like a popular online shopping live streamer. But she didn't expect him to come to deliver the ginseng in Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

person.

"Hello, I am Jennifer Austin. Do you have a Centennial Ginseng?" She looked at him curiously. Conrad

did look attractive with luxurious suits. So she deemed him a gentleman from a rich family who

engaged in medical materials industry.

"Yes, I have one." While speaking, Conrad presented her the wooden box.

As Jennifer opened it, she saw a ginseng with well-developed roots. It seemed quite similar to those

natural ginsengs that she saw in pictures. But this one seemed to be bigger and heavier.

Since Jennifer had little knowledge of it, she knew a veteran doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine

(TCM), who was also the doctor in charge to cure her mother. So she called him here to inspect the

ginseng.

Half an hour later, a hale and hearty old man with gray hairs and beards walked in. Suddenly, his nose

lifted. He seemed to smell the unique scent of ginseng as he just came in.

"That must be a nice one!"

The old man couldn't help praising. As a veteran medical doctor, he could tell the quality of medicine

just by its scent.

Conrad looked at this old man with surprise. He could tell this doctor must be a professional one.

"Mr. Huber, please inspect this ginseng and see if it's qualified to be used as medicine." Jennifer said

with respect.

Mr. Huber took the box and seemed to be quite surprised.

He approached closer to look at the ginseng just as other doctors would do. Then he pinched a bit of

the end of the root and tasted it.

"Excellent! That's more than enough. This ginseng aged 150 years! I didn't expect to meet such a

treasure at my age. It was only possible to meet one with the same quality in the old days when I was

young." Mr. Huber exclaimed.

"That's great!" Jennifer was really excited. She then made someone keep the box. She just wanted to

buy a ginseng with age of 100+ years. But she happened to meet one today with a 150-year age. It had

gone beyond her expectation. Such a ginseng would enable a better effect for medication. It was one of

those rare and top Chinese medical materials.

"What a veteran doctor!" Conrad also exclaimed. He was quite surprised for Mr. Huber could clearly tell

the age of ginseng even before he could present the letter of verification.

Mr. Huber then asked, "How did you get this ginseng? It's so perfect with intact and well-developed

roots. The one who got it must also be a professional one."

"It was sent by him, Mr. Porter." Jennifer said.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Huber!" Conrad quite respected the elder. So he addressed him as the same as

Jennifer did.

Since Mr. Humber was a veteran, he could tell from Conrad's hands that he was not the Ginseng-

Searcher but just a medicine businessman.

"Do you engage in medicine industry?" Mr. Humber smoothed his beard and asked.

"Yeah. Actually, I run a hypermarket and I have everything for sale. Mr. Huber, if you want any rare

medical materials. You can just ask for me."

Since Mr. Humber was a veteran doctor, Conrad deemed him a possible patron. So he could earn

money by selling the medical materials from the app.

"Oh? So do you have ambergris? A hundred grams at least."

"A moment please. Let me check the list of my market." Conrad took out his phone and started to

search on the app. As expected, he found ambergris on the medical section.

Actually, Conrad didn't know what exactly ambergris was. It was just a white irregular lump and looked

weird. But it cost much.

Ambergris (Natural), Original Price: 13333 yuan/gram, Discounted Price: 1 yuan/gram!

It was from the introduction on screen that Conrad was aware that ambergris was a kind of secreta

from the intestinal tract of sperm whale.

When the sperm whale defecated the ambergris, it was originally light black. As it was washed by water

in ocean, it gradually turned lighter and lighter into grey and finally white color.

Common speaking, the ambergris with white color should be the best as it had been washed in the

ocean for more than 100 years, which enabled it to remove all impurities.

The ambergris taken from a dead whale was deemed worthless. Only when it was washed in the ocean

for dozens of years could it be deemed rare and valuable. So natural ambergris was the best luxurious

medicine. And it could also be used as the ingredient for making perfume.

"Yes, I have it!" Conrad replied. But the Discount App was his secret, he couldn't show it in front of Mr.

Humber.

"Really? That's great! Young man, now I need to decoct the medicine for Jennifer's mother. You can

just leave your number and I will buy ambergris from you later."

Mr. Humber and Conrad kept each other's numbers delightedly. And then he left. While Jennifer

followed behind with the box.

"Lady, do you forget to decide the deal of the ginseng? We haven't negotiated it yet." Conrad reminded

her.

"My assistant will do this work!"

Jennifer was still quite worried about her mother. So she couldn't wait to leave the office.
