At the Chinese herb 1 store


Uranda: Oh, hi! I'm Uranda! My aunt said you wanted some ginseng. Which kind do you want?

Robert: Uh, what's the difference?

Uranda: Korean ginseng is red--it's more warming. The Western ginseng is white and more cooling. Since it's still kind of cold, I suggest 2 you get the red kind!

Robert: Well, OK. How much for a pound?
