Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 20 The enemy does not move, I do not move.

"What can we do? The two children at home are watching us eagerly. We can't starve them to death."

Wang Tianxiao laughed naively, put away the old umbrella, stood up, shook it hard and carefully put away the umbrella little by little.

The umbrella was in a state of disrepair, and many of the ribs could no longer bend properly. It took him a lot of effort to close it.

Li Muyang stood in front of him and watched silently as he closed the door, then said goodbye and left.

After walking far away, I turned around and saw Wang Tianxiao squatting on the ground, carefully looking at the egg cage, as if guarding some precious baby.

Neither is easy.

Li Muyang shook his head, life was difficult for everyone.

Now that I am resurrecting my life, I have an innate opportunity to make amends. With the experience of my previous life and my hard work in this life, my life should be getting better and better.

But in a lifetime like Wang Tianxiao's, it would be difficult for him to change.

He looked up at the sky and found that the dark clouds began to slowly thin, and in some places there was even a hint of golden sunlight, as if the sun was thirsty behind the clouds and was ready to lift the clouds and poke its head out at any time.

Not bad, the sun is coming out.

I'll exchange money and go back early, and I can take the opportunity to plant rapeseed flowers in the afternoon.

The two mountain fields have been cultivated for many days, and I have never had time to plant them. Today is just half a day. It takes too long to go to Xishan to dig Cordyceps and go back and forth. It is not cost-effective. I might as well plant the fields at home.

Thinking about it all the way, Li Muyang came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Qingquan is backed by mountains, and there are naturally various herbal medicines in the mountains, so the medicinal materials company in the provincial capital also set up a Chinese herbal medicine supply and marketing center here.

The person in charge of the center is named Mi and is a kind old man.

In his previous life, Li Muyang would often dig up some medicine in the mountains and exchange it for money, and he gradually became familiar with it.

I heard that the old man was a big shot before, so he came here out of nowhere to experience life.

He came to the counter with his bag on his back and saw two women, one big and one small, knitting sweaters. When he came in, they only glanced up and then lowered their heads again.

No way, he's used to it.

They are people who eat from the public family. As a common man, you should not keep your head down.

"Comrade?"

The two ignored him.

"Comrade..."

"See, I have something to say. What's your name?"

The woman in her 30s did not raise her head at all, and the younger one said angrily and looked at Li Muyang impatiently.

"Oh, I want to sell some medicinal materials."

"What medicine?"

The young woman poked her head forward, her eyes falling on Li Muyang's small canvas bag, her eyes showing a bit of contempt.

You were probably thinking how much you could get for just a few herbs.

The most expensive herbs nearby are things like astragalus, which cost only one or two yuan per kilogram. Judging from the appearance of this bag, it can't hold much, only one or two kilograms at most.

It doesn't make much sense.

Li Muyang had seen countless people, but he couldn't see the impatience of the young woman, but his heart was calm and he was not angry because of it.

In this day and age, it doesn't matter who can work here, so this attitude is normal.

No fuss, no worries.

Many times when people are angry, it's not just because of their own incompetence.

Li Muyang believed that as long as he didn't take others seriously and respected himself more, these people wouldn't be angry with him.

It is their fault that they are rude and look down on others.

Being a kind and gentle person is your own cultivation and belief in life.

Li Muyang carefully took out the cans and bottles from the bag, gently placed them on the counter and pushed them over.In fact, he didn't need to be so careful.

At this point, Cordyceps is equivalent to a herbal medicine, how can it be so fragile?

It's just that he was deliberately careful.

The young woman saw that it was a very ordinary transparent can bottle, with faint traces of the label that had not been torn off, and it was a peach pattern.

There were some yellow herbs in the can. The woman didn't recognize it for a while, thinking that she had overestimated this person.

I thought he could get at least one or two kilograms of herbal medicine, but it seems that such a big can can hold as much as it can, and it is estimated that it will be less than half a kilogram.

"What medicine?"

she asked casually.

"It's Cordyceps Sinensis." Li Muyang replied with a smile.

"Oh, winter insect...ah, what did you say?"

The young woman was suddenly startled, took the bottle in front of her, quickly turned it over and looked at the contents inside, her expression even more surprised.

"Sister Hu, look at it."

The older counter clerk was slightly curious when he heard the words "Cordyceps sinensis". Hearing this, he put the sweater in his hand aside, took the thing over, and turned it around a few times, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Can I open it and take a look?" she asked Li Muyang for the first time.

"of course can."

The woman exerted a little force and twisted it, but found that the bottle was not unscrewed. Then she tightened her strength and twisted it again, but it was still not unscrewed.

"I'll do it." Li Muyang took the bottle and opened it with a casual twist.

The woman glanced at his hand curiously, secretly surprised by his strength.

Although a woman's strength is incomparable to that of a man, she had exerted a lot of force just now, and the bottle did not move at all. Li Muyang seemed to twist it casually, and the bottle opened immediately, which shows that his strength is far greater than that of a man. It seems to be released on the surface.

"Give."

Li Muyang handed the bottle over again.

The woman held the bottle, put it to her nose and smelled it, her eyes became shocked.

"How's it going, Sister Hu?"

"Come and smell it."

The young counter also leaned his head in and smelled it, with a surprised look on his face.

"It's really Cordyceps Sinensis, and the quality is pretty good," the young woman said when she looked at Li Muyang this time, her attitude became much more enthusiastic.

"Fellow, where did this come from?"

Li Muyang smiled and shook his head.

"I don't want to say that," the woman smiled, "That's right. Once you find a cordyceps plant of this quality, you are generally not willing to tell others."

The woman named Sister Hu smiled lightly and said: "This looks like the Qinghai variety. The Cordyceps in Tibet is a bit more yellow than this color. These are not special grade, but they are also top grade with very good quality."

"Yes, I have been working for several years, but I have only received Cordyceps a few times. To see such good quality goods is unique. Today is an eye-opener."

Sister Hu stood up and took a serious look at Li Muyang for the first time, and she became enthusiastic.

"Fellow, your cordyceps are for sale, right?"

"Well, sell."

"Then how much do you want to sell it for?"

"How do you charge?"

Li Muyang had never sold Cordyceps here in his previous life. He always sold it to dealers. Later he heard that it could be sold to them, but he didn’t know how much it would cost here.

He decided that "if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move." He would first test the other party's tone, and then slowly raise the price based on their conditions.
