After being abandoned, the doctor girl turned into a koi

Chapter 8 Temptation
What the village head sent were Shouwu and Ganoderma lucidum priced at five cents a catty.

Wet goods, which have been neglected all the time, are in considerable quantity.

The village chief worked slowly all morning... and dug more than a hundred catties.

In other words, if Shen Xingchen really gave money, he could earn more than half a tael.

Unbelievable like a myth...

The village head and his wife couldn't believe it before they got the money, but after getting the money, they suddenly felt like a dream.

The village head, who has always been Buddha-natured, was too frightened and couldn't help pinching his arm. After feeling the heart-wrenching pain, he asked Shen Xingchen with a smile, "Miss Shen, can you ask me a little more?" , why did you collect this medicinal material?"

"Make medicine. Does the village head uncle think that my price is too high? To be honest, these things must be used for a certain age before they can be used as medicine. The next batch may be several years later."

The village head recalled it carefully, and suddenly understood, and immediately thought of a question, "Then, can we take it back from other places at a low price and sell it to you?"

"Of course you can, but you must keep the appearance."

Aunt Luo, the wife of the village head, is also a strategic person. She rolled her eyes and asked warmly, "Dig this Shouwu with soil...it should be preserved for a few more days, right? Can this Ganoderma lucidum be dried like a mushroom? "

Shen Xingchen went into the house and took out some medicinal materials she had collected before, and carefully explained to the village head and his wife, "This is dendrobium, which can be planted with soil like a flower, and it is best preserved; this Shouwu can be preserved with soil for about seven days; Ganoderma lucidum Both Tianma and Gastrodia can be dried and stored..."

After explaining them one by one, she said seriously, "In this case, the quality will be worse than the fresh ones anyway, and the price must be calculated separately, but no matter what, everyone's daily wages will not be lost. Especially these few, as long as you carefully One thing, wet goods cost an average of three Wen per catty, absolutely no problem."

The cake Shen Xingchen drew was too big, and the village chief and his wife became uneasy again after hearing this.

She began to feel again... Maybe she was fooling them.

It's just that they really can't think of a reason to do so.

They stared blankly for a while, thinking that what Shen Xingchen gave was cash, their hearts returned to their stomachs.

He smiled and bowed to Shen Xingchen, "The little old man and his wife are going back to find someone to help take delivery of the goods for the second lady."

Shen Xingchen replied, "Thank you."

Liu Qiuniang has been sitting behind the gate quietly watching this scene ever since the village head and his wife came to look for Shen Xingchen.

When the village chief and his wife left, Su Rui and Su Jin returned to the next door with smiles on their faces. She stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice, "You know medicine? How do you know medicine?"

Shen Xingchen looked at her with a sneer on his face for a while, parted his red lips, and slowly uttered two words, "...you...guess?"

Liu Qiuniang cursed in her heart: Damn, can this be guessed...

But he didn't dare to make half a sound.

She was worried that Shen Xingchen would treat her like yesterday.

Whether it was choking or being tied up, she didn't want to do it all over again.

……

After Su Rui and Su Jin returned home, they immediately received a new order from their master: quickly go up the mountain to dig up the medicinal materials that Shen Xingchen bought at a clear price until dark, then sell half of them to her and keep the other half for research.

The two who wanted to stay and watch Shen Xingchen collect the medicinal materials had no choice but to go up the mountain with their back baskets and medicinal hoe depressed.

Hearing that the village chief got 650 copper coins, the villagers were almost crazy, and they immediately got to work—selling medicinal materials is a matter of urgency, and it is also a matter of urgency to go up the mountain to dig the most expensive medicinal materials immediately, no, it is also a matter of urgency to go to other villages to buy them.

That's right, those with a business mind feel that digging by themselves is worse than going to the neighboring village to buy, don't they?

Although digging a few hundred catties by yourself can sell five cents per catty and earn a few taels of silver, it is not as much as selling thousands of catties and earning one penny or two per catty.

In this way, no one is willing to come to help watch the scales and supervise the quality...

Compared with digging medicinal materials, a penny an hour is not at all fragrant.

Shen Xingchen knew that this would happen today, but she was not in a hurry.

She knew that the villagers would be able to dig up all the rare medicinal herbs on the mountain today.

Tomorrow, only ordinary medicinal materials can be dug.

At that time, this job will be beautiful.

After collecting the medicinal materials in the morning, Shen Xingchen found that none of the other villagers dug up as many medicinal materials as the village chief.

And No.2 is a cliff-like gap, only more than 30 catties.

Most people only dug more than 20 catties.

Thinking of the negative sabotage in the morning and the more than six renminbi earned by the village chief, everyone's intestines are green with regret.

The two families who wanted to give the house to Shen Xingchen were even more in a dilemma.

Later, he couldn't let go of the windfall that was within easy reach, so he blushed and begged Shen Xingchen to extend the time for handing over the house, and said that it could be cheaper.

Shen Xingchen agreed to their request with a wave of his small hand.

The medicinal materials can be temporarily placed in the house where she lived before, so there is no rush.

The villagers did not go down the mountain to hand in the medicinal materials until it was dark.

Everything was as Shen Xingchen expected, and sure enough, as early as two o'clock in the afternoon, all the Shouwu, Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium on Crescent Moon Mountain had been harvested.

Later, the villagers searched for treasures everywhere, and they didn't give up until they were sure that there were only one cent and ten catties of cheap medicinal materials left.

When going down the mountain, the villagers were very disappointed, but soon, they were all excited.

Although each of them dug an average of twenty catties this afternoon, it was worth more than one penny. The whole family's tiredness was about one tael.

Also, although there are only cheap medicinal materials to be dug tomorrow, no matter what, each person will earn no less than ten cents a day, which is not a small fortune.

Houtu Village is not big, with a total of only 150 households and a population of more than [-].

The money Shen Xingchen exchanged in the morning was not only enough, but also had little balance.

Shen Yunxuan thought that she had already spent all the money, and asked in puzzlement, "Sister, are you planning to sell overnight medicine tomorrow morning?"

Even if it is produced overnight, can it be sold in Qilin Town smoothly?

Shen Xingchen smiled slightly, "I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Well, the dough should have been ready, let's make shortbread together now."

Shen Xingchen searched the memory of the original body yesterday and found that although there are many dishes in this world, there are very few pastries and desserts.

Especially the desserts, which are outrageously small.

Without sugar, honey is not only expensive but also priceless, making desserts impossible, so she decided to make some salty snacks to satisfy Xiaoxuan's craving.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Shen Yunxuan ate the delicious shortbread that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and covered with sesame seeds.

With delicious food in his hand, it was rare for him to show the heart of a child, and he praised in surprise, "Sister, why... why is this shortbread so delicious? Sister, who taught you this?"

Shen Xingchen hesitated for a moment, and said with some emotion, "It was taught by the master who taught me medical skills, and she also taught some other things. When I get all the ingredients together, I will make them for you."

"Sister, you... ah..."

Shen Yunxuan raised his head and wanted to give his sister a sweet smile, but when he looked up and saw the man in white who was biting his lip and thinking outside the window, he was so frightened that he almost threw the shortbread in his hand.
