Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 39 - Grumpy Old Man (糟老头)
The man’s voice was a bit hoarse . Along with his aura and the surroundings, if it were anyone else, they might have already run off, scared .
Jing Yunzhao was instead curious and politely said, “I am here to sell medicinal materials . ”
She pointed at the basket in front of her .
The man gave the basket a glance and said, “Come in . ”
After he finished speaking, he took the basket from Jing Yunzhao’s hands . His strength wasn’t small .
When Jing Yunzhao entered the yard, she was shocked . She only saw rows of racks for medical materials, medicine pots, and other things . However, it was obvious that things had been put away . Plus that strange jumble of smell from earlier was coming from this yard . But after coming close to the smell, she didn’t think it was that unbearable .
“Shifu is busy right now . I’ll take these things . These Pilose Asiabell Roots of yours are of pretty good quality . I’ll offer you ¥30 per jin . If you accept, I’ll withdraw the money for you . If not, you can take these things and leave . And don’t ever come here again . ” The man was very straightforward . His expressionless face was a bit frightening .
The price for the Pilose Asiabell Roots wasn’t unreasonable . Jing Yunzhao also wasn’t greedy so she nodded .
The man acted fast . After seeing Jing Yunzhao agreeing to the price, he quickly cleaned the Pilose Asiabell Roots and inspected them . His meticulousness was disturbing . If Jing Yunzhao didn’t have astonishing patience, she probably wouldn’t do business with this kind of person either .
After the inspection was done, the man had a surprised expression . He didn’t think the goods this time would be this good .
“I’ll give you a ¥2 raise . Bring all of your good stuff here in the future,” said the man .
After he finished talking, he went inside the house and soon walked out . He handed Jing Yunzhao cash . She counted more than ¥4,000 .
“You’ll take anything? No limits?” Jing Yunzhao asked .
“Yes . ” The man said coldly .
Jing Yunzhao’s mood instantly became more relaxed . Even though the people of this house was a bit weird, but because of this sale, she at least won’t be in desperate need of money anymore . And looking at the yard, there were many expensive and precious medicinal materials . The different types were not only complete but also abundant . She could see that the owner of this house wasn’t lacking in money and could afford a few big trades .
Jing Yunzhao took the money and turned around to leave . However, when she only had one foot out the door, she heard a commotion coming from the house behind her . She couldn’t help but turn to look .
“Shifu, the Pilose Asiabell Roots just now, their quality is quite rare…” A grumpy old man walked out of the house . He looked a bit scary and the middle-aged man from earlier was speaking to him politely . He also had a smile and looked gentle and careful .
Jing Yunzhao looked at the old man .
(T/N: a part wasn’t translated here) The old man’s white hair was messy . His clothes showed that he didn’t care about his appearance . He wasn’t extremely old, only around 60 or so . But his eyes were without light, expressionless . He seemed a little…pitiful .
(T/N: I skipped the first part of that paragraph because I couldn’t understand it . “老人长得也算是鹤发童颜颇有风采”)
Jing Yunzhao’s stare was too noticeable . The old man’s sharp eyes turned to her .
In the blink of an eye, the old man’s pupils dilated . That body of his seemed to have a pretty sharp aura despite his age . He quickly and lightly moved as if he was flying . He charged straight towards Jing Yunzhao .
Jing Yunzhao’s reflexes were pretty fast . When she saw the old man acting strangely, she dodged and stepped out of the door . The old man was heard saying, “Wait!”
Jing Yunzhao couldn’t help but turn her head .
“What’s your name?” The old man was looking at her . His eyes seemed as if he was in a trance, as if he was remembering something . There was glee but also disappointment . His eyes were confusing .
Even so, Jing Yunzhao responded, “Jing Yunzhao . ”
