Chapter 301 Great Ginseng
Besides saltpeter, Ye Qingchen magically produced several boxes of ginseng. These ginsengs were no ordinary goods; they all originated from Ye Qingchen's mysterious and unpredictable space. Originally, the fresh ginseng was as thick as a giant radish, truly astonishing. So, the resourceful Ye Qingchen thoroughly dried them all, making it difficult for others to discern their original size. However, even after this treatment, compared to other ordinary dried ginseng, these ginsengs still appeared exceptionally thick.
In addition to ginseng, Ye Qingchen also brought American ginseng, salvia miltiorrhiza, and red ginseng, among other precious medicinal herbs. Duan Ling'er stared wide-eyed at the four exquisite wooden boxes Ye Qingchen had placed before her; inside were priceless treasures! Worried that they wouldn't know how to use these rare ginsengs, Ye Qingchen thoughtfully affixed detailed instruction labels to each box. He repeatedly instructed Duan Ling'er to keep the ginseng safe and sound, and absolutely not to send it to the Imperial Medical Bureau; it was best to keep it close at hand for easy access.
Duan Ling'er's eyes widened, her mouth forming a large "O" shape, her face filled with astonishment. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, Qingchen, what you brought this time is simply amazing! Every single one of them is a rare treasure! Especially this ginseng. Although it has been dried now, just looking at its texture and feeling its unique and rich aroma, I can conclude without hesitation that this fresh ginseng must have been the finest of the finest when it was still alive! Where did you find so many ginsengs of such outstanding quality? You know, even the renowned Medicine King Valley probably has a hard time finding many treasures that can compare to its age, right?"
Ye Qingchen's face beamed with a bright smile as she softly said, "Oh dear, how could this be! These are top-quality ginseng bestowed upon me by my grandfather! If it weren't for his generosity, how could I possess so much? But to be honest, the quantity isn't actually that astonishing. That's why my grandfather specifically instructed me to process and distribute these ginsengs to various families. I've kept some in the Great Xia Palace, and of course, I've also left some for my dear grandfather, the Emperor Emeritus, and the Princess. And now, what's placed before you is specially reserved for you. Although the quantity isn't large, the quality is superb, all top-notch! So, please enjoy them without worry, there's no need to be stingy. However, ginseng isn't something just anyone can eat; it's only for those who truly need it to nourish their bodies!"
On Duan Ling'er's pretty face, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing an incredibly radiant smile, like a flower blooming in spring. Her lips parted slightly, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's song, as she softly said, "That's wonderful! Then, I, your elder sister, will naturally not refuse! Hehe... Oh, right, there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you, brother. I wonder if you could do me a favor and send a few doctors with superb medical skills and miraculous healing abilities from that mysterious and revered Medicine King Valley? If we could really get such assistance, it would be an immense stroke of luck for us! Of course, if you're willing to help, then in return, I will do my best to find several highly skilled and extraordinary witch doctors for you to take away at your beck and call. In this way, whether we catch a minor cold or illness in our daily lives, or unfortunately fall seriously ill, we won't have to worry about not finding a good doctor to treat us."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingchen nodded swiftly without the slightest hesitation, replying, "This is indeed a piece of cake, sister, you can rest assured. Allow me to make some preparations, and then I will immediately begin writing a letter to Da Xia. In my opinion, within a month or two, those doctors will surely be able to arrive here at full speed. As for the people you recommended, sister, I will personally guide them upon their arrival." Her resolute and unwavering tone revealed complete confidence and composure, as if the matter was already a foregone conclusion and foolproof.
Duan Ling'er stared intently at Ye Qingchen, seeing her composed and confident demeanor, and her heart filled with joy, a radiant smile blooming on her face. She nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying, "Oh, that's wonderful! Seeing how confident you are, I feel relieved. Since you're so sure, then everything from now on will depend on you to arrange everything. Speaking of which, the reason I've gone to such lengths to find renowned doctors is because my father and mother are getting older, and their health is declining. They're not as strong and robust as they used to be, and they often experience minor ailments. Therefore, if I could be fortunate enough to have several highly skilled and miraculous doctors by their side to care for them, I would feel much more at ease."
After listening quietly to Duan Ling'er's words, Ye Qingchen nodded in deep agreement. She knew the profound family affection and concern for her parents' health behind Duan Ling'er's sincere heart, so she softly replied, "Sister Ling'er's filial piety is evident to all, and I will naturally give my full support and cooperation. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely find a suitable doctor so that His Majesty and the Empress can enjoy their later years in good health."
Just then, Dong Nanxi couldn't help but praise, "Qingchen, these gifts you brought are truly extraordinary! Not only are they rarely seen by ordinary people, but even we high-ranking officials probably don't have many opportunities to witness them!" Faced with Dong Nanxi's praise, Ye Qingchen simply smiled and softly replied, "Hehe, brother, don't be in such a hurry. I still have quite a few gifts to take out. Let me slowly take them out one by one and show them to you." With that, she turned and walked to the box to continue searching.
