The Luxury of Discount King novel Chapter 6

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 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.
