Ginseng
I know I look like a sucker or dumber, I get sold all the time. My chrysanthemum ran out, so I went in to buy in this store. A middle aged woman jumped at me, asking what do I need, and for self use or gift. “This is the best” She handed me a package that cost $8. Since when chrysanthemum sells for this much? Free market is great. 20 years ago, a package of rice noodle costs something in the neighborhood of $3.99 and now it is more like $0.99, for two on occasions. Hey, at least others are drinking what I’m drinking, :). The turn over should make the quality fresher and better, I hope.
The lady is likable, graduated from Beijing Uni … so I sat down for a free evaluation, even I got my annual check up rubber stamped couple of months ago .. She asked for my age, height and weight, put something to my pause, then a chart light up on her laptop, my liver had scored 4,000 on a range of 12-40 - sorry don’t remember the name since I aren’t dr, don’t know those fancy titles. Of course she has the remedy, Visily, a dietary supplement made with Co-Q10, silybum marianum and schisandra fruit extract, made in the USA. $360 for 6 bottle, buy 6 get 6 for free, so it’s only $30 per bottle, 45 softgels in each. I should take 2 tablets each time twice a day.. .. Why did I sit down was beyond me, :). There’s no way I’ll eat this. So I offered to buy some ginseng. Sure stweetie. She led me to the most expensive bin in the shop; becasue it’s wild = natural = good for you. Reading the big orange label closer, it said half wild. Whatever. Will it make me tiny bitz smarter? Only god knows. Check back with me soon, I’ll have to remember to consume it first, :).
