When Li Chuan and his group arrived in town, they encountered Duan Shuiliu, the senior brother from the martial arts school.
Duan Shuiliu was in charge of this purchase.
Because in the martial arts school, only the senior brother had studied herbal knowledge with the master.
After examining the Yuan Hu and Pseudostellaria, the senior brother's face lit up with surprise, "These are the best Yuan Hu and Pseudostellaria I have ever seen!"
Chen Sisi was excited, "How much can we sell them for?"
The senior brother held up three fingers.
"Thirty bucks? That's not more than the market price," Chen Sisi showed a hint of disappointnt on her face, but then she thought about it, the market price was for dried goods, while these were fresh. It seed about right, so she smiled and said, "Alright! As long as you can take all my stock, I'm fine with twenty per pound!"
"Huh?" The senior brother looked confused, "I ant three hundred bucks!"
In fact, it was the first ti the senior brother was handling such a lucrative deal, so he spoke with confidence.
"..."
Hearing the senior brother quote that number, both Chen Sisi and i were shocked. To them, this was an unimaginable figure!
"This... Boss, you're not tricking us? Can these really be worth three hundred per pound?" Chen Sisi's breathing beca rapid. The land in Taohua Village was fertile, once dicinal herbs were planted, they grew extrely well even if left unattended all year. She had only dug out half and already had two hundred pounds!
If it were all excavated, that would be around five hundred pounds!
If it's ten bucks a pound, that's fifteen thousand!
The senior brother smiled, "In business, trust is key. If you don't believe us, we can sign a contract. For all the Yuan Hu and Pseudostellaria in your village, we'll buy them all, provided they are of the sa quality."
"Great! From now on, I'll sell my dicinal herbs to you!" Chen Sisi was thrilled.
On the way back, except for Li Chuan, Chen Sisi, i, and Zhou Ruolan were all very excited!
When they returned to the village, Chen Sisi and i recounted the sale, and Taohua Village erupted!
"Three hundred bucks a pound? How can it be so expensive!"
"Exactly, last ti I took so dried goods to town, they only sold for fifty bucks a pound!"
"When did this stuff beco so valuable? Unbelievable!"
The villagers of Taohua Village were ecstatic!
Those who had planted it mobilized their entire families—n, won, young and old—to join in!
Those who hadn't planted or were too lazy to plant could only sit at their doorsteps, sighing and slapping their thighs!
Fortunately, the planters quickly hired help, offering a high wage of three hundred a day for digging!
With that, the entire village was bustling, and Zhou Ruolan did a preliminary estimate. Although not every household planted Yuan Hu and Pseudostellaria, today's yield was very high, totaling about twenty thousand pounds!
That's quite a large amount!
"Dr. Li, thank you for helping us find a market! I might not be good with words usually, but I'll toast you first!"
At Chen Sisi's ho.
Li Chuan sat with more than a dozen won in their thirties, all of whom stayed behind, drinking and chatting happily.
These won had helped Chen Sisi dig herbs before. Today, Chen Sisi invited them for a al, and several of them had planted so herbs themselves.
So, everyone was very grateful to Li Chuan.
"Leading everyone to earn money was originally my purpose for coming here. No need for formalities," Li Chuan raised his cup and said with a smile.
Beside him, Zhou Ruolan blushed because she rembered the agreent she'd made with Li Chuan earlier.
To her, even though Li Chuan could fulfill his promise, it would have taken a long ti; who would've thought he'd accomplish it in just one day!
When did making money beco so easy?
This kid is just a college student, with such ability, why attend college?
And for herself, it seed she was going to sleep with this young man. This...
Recalling the events between her and Li Chuan made her blush.
"Originally, my fate was set, and I had no power to change it, but during my ti in Taohua Village, I want to be the master of my destiny!" Zhou Ruolan seed to have made a firm resolution!
After all, one must keep their word!
This al was joyful and lasted until ten at night. During dinner, Zhou Ruolan suggested that since digging herbs was hard work, they could call their husbands back ho.
However, the suggestion was imdiately rejected by all the won at the table!
Because they no longer wanted to rely on n!
They only wanted to rely on themselves!
Zhou Ruolan didn't understand why these won would have such a mindset; shouldn't husbands and wives help each other?
But since everyone said so, she didn't bring it up again.
After dinner, Li Chuan and Zhou Ruolan returned to the village committee.
Under the night sky, Zhou Ruolan was puzzled, "I don't see anything wrong with them calling their husbands back to help, why were they so against it?"
Li Chuan: "They don't want to share the joy with others."
Zhou Ruolan looked incredulous, "Others? Aren't those their husbands?"
Li Chuan shook his head, "That's just the perception of urban people. In your view, a husband and wife are a unit, destined to grow old together. But in rural areas, especially in poverty-stricken ones."
"Their marriages are often arranged, and so people don't even see their other half until their wedding night. These families are rely partnerships for living."
"Therefore, their relationships aren't particularly close, let alone affectionate. Otherwise, why do these n leave for a year without returning even once?"
"Do they send the money they earn outside back to their wives?"
"When they go out to work, it's said positively as going to earn money; negatively, it's about living their own lives while letting their wives care for the aging parents or raise the kids."
"This is the bitter reality of the underclass, and I've seen it a lot."
"So, the won left in the village wouldn't want their n to co back."
"Because they, too, desperately need that inco."
Hearing this, Zhou Ruolan felt a heaviness in her heart. Though she had been here for several days, she mostly stayed at school or in the dorm, never delving deeply into village life. To her, rural living was leisurely, quiet, simple, and beautiful.
But in reality, it wasn't so.
Upon returning to the village committee, Li Chuan didn't ntion the agreent for Ruolan to sleep with him but went back to his room to start training.
The Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique operated, with Lingxi True Qi constantly moving within him.
"Taohua Village indeed seems to be my lucky place. I've barely been here a few days, and I'm about to break through to the First Layer of the Body Tempering Realm. This speed is much faster than in Jiangzhou City!"
"If I can have a few more sessions with Sister Sisi, or practice Dual Cultivation with Zhou Ruolan, I should be able to break through to the second layer of the Body Tempering Realm, right?"
