Chapter 1742 - 1678: Worth a Thousand Gold

Chen Baoshen prescribed a formula, using nine ingredients, five of which Chiang Xiao had given him.

"Yiping, go and get the remaining medicine, then personally prepare the decoction." Chen Baoshen handed the bamboo basket to Chen Yiping.

He naturally trusted Chen Yiping.

"Hurry." He added, though his heart was filled with uncertainty.

Preparing the medicine takes time, but looking at Old Master Jiang now, it seems he can’t wait much longer.

He was afraid that the medicine wouldn’t be ready before Old Master Jiang passed away.

"Yes." Chen Yiping opened the lid of the bamboo basket, and saw a small package on top, stunned for a moment, took it up first, "Uncle, is this also one of the ingredients?"

Chen Baoshen hadn’t opened this basket on the way, and now upon seeing the small paper package, he was momentarily taken aback, "Open it and see."

Chen Yiping immediately unwrapped the paper package.

Immediately, a fragrant ginseng aroma wafted out.

Chen Baoshen saw the half-piece of ginseng, his eyes brightened instantly, reached out to take it, and carefully examined it.

"This, this, this is a century-old ginseng! The quality is excellent! I’ve lived all these years and have never seen such good ginseng!" Chen Baoshen became excited and quickly said to Chen Yiping, "Hurry, quickly slice it, first let Old Master Jiang hold a slice in his mouth, then soak a few slices in water and let him drink it!"

Ginseng can sustain life, ginseng can sustain life indeed.

Such good ginseng will surely extend Old Master Jiang’s life until the decoction is ready!

Chen Yiping also became excited and hurriedly sliced a piece of ginseng slice, placing it in Old Master Jiang’s mouth.

Now there wasn’t even a need to instruct him to hold it in his mouth, Old Master Jiang didn’t have the strength to swallow the ginseng slice.

As soon as the slice entered his mouth, Old Master Jiang felt a slight lift in spirits, the ginseng slice carried a strong medicinal aroma, and its taste was quite unique.

Chen Yiping quickly sliced more ginseng slices, and Ying Qiong brought over a cup and a kettle, "Xiao Chen, I’ll soak the ginseng slices, you hurry and prepare the medicine."

"Alright." Chen Yiping didn’t dare delay, and quickly went to prepare the medicine.

Old Master Jiang had a small Chinese medicine shop here, usually to maintain health, for colds and minor illnesses, Chen Yiping would treat with Chinese medicine at home, seldom going to the hospital.

So it was convenient for him to grab and prepare the medicine now, without going anywhere.

Once Chen Yiping left, Ying Qiong asked Chen Baoshen, "Doctor Chen, is this ginseng truly effective?"

Earlier she clearly saw Chen Baoshen’s expression, resigned to no hope, but upon seeing the ginseng, he became excited as if seeing hope.

Is this ginseng really that good?

Chen Baoshen nodded, "It’s effective! I truly haven’t seen such good, such old ginseng! You can’t find ginseng like this on the market nowadays, even half a root like this is worth a fortune!"

Ying Qiong was shocked.

"You said this was given by Little Chiang?"

"Yes, she gave it without a word, I only knew there was a basket of herbal medicine, never thought there was such a precious ginseng."

Ying Qiong was utterly amazed.

"Such a precious item, she gave it without hesitation?"

At this moment, Chen Baoshen’s heart was filled with gratitude and fondness for Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao must value and respect him deeply to quietly give him such precious ginseng after he asked.
