Early the next morning, Chen Changyuan brought the villagers to the back mountain.

Along the way, Zhou Changshan and several people from the Zhou family walked at the end, whispering from time to time with sarcastic smiles on their faces.

"We are all very familiar with this back mountain. What's there to see?"

Zhou Changshan sneered, "Are you taking us up the mountain to dig wild vegetables?"

Several followers burst into laughter.

Chen Changyuan turned a deaf ear and continued to lead the team up the mountain.

After turning a hill, the view suddenly opens up.

The entire hillside has been reclaimed into terraced fields, with rows of medicinal herbs growing neatly and lushly.

The morning sun shines on the dewdrops, making them sparkle.

"When was this made?"

Zhou Changshan widened his eyes.

"What's the point of just looking fresh?"

Chen Changyuan pulled out a herb from the ground. "This is Astragalus. You all know it, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Astragalus is one of the most common medicinal herbs.

“But do you know how to plant it?”

Chen Changyuan shook the astragalus root in his hand and asked, "Why are my astragalus roots so thick, while the ones in your fields are thin and short?"

Zhou Changshan's expression changed.

The roots of the astragalus planted in his field were indeed pitifully thin.

“The secret is in the soil.”

Chen Changyuan squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. "Look at this soil, it's soft and full of organic matter. This is the right soil for growing astragalus. How can astragalus roots grow in those hardened lands of yours?"

"Then...then how did you get this soil?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"I'll teach you later."

Chen Changyuan stood up and pointed to another field. "That's Codonopsis pilosula, and over there is Angelica sinensis. Each herb has different requirements for soil and light. Follow me, I'll show you."

Everyone followed Chen Changyuan around the mountain and was stunned by what they saw.

There are more than a dozen varieties of medicinal herbs alone, and they all grow very well.
