Chapter 585: Fire, Fire, Fire, Across a Thousand Miles (7)

She saw two aged ginseng roots wrapped in bright red silk. Weighing them in her hand, she knew they were quality goods. Ginseng, known as the King of Herbs, had a saying among the folk, "Seven ounces a ginseng, eight ounces a treasure." To grow this heavy, the ginseng must be at least a hundred years old.

Lian Qiao was both delighted and shocked.

The meaning of a lone copy was easy to understand; it was the only one in existence, without any duplicates.
