Chapter 6 A Veteran Doctor


    Thisdy 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 popr online shopping live streamer. But she didn''t expect him toe to deliver the ginseng in


    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 simr 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 hourter, 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 eximed.


    "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 eximed. 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 irregr 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 ck. 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 youter."


    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.
