Chapter 277 This means you didn’t suffer any losses from this storm

Tan Dahe is a famous medicine dealer in the city. In addition to buying and selling medicinal materials, he also likes to grow medicine. Moreover, the medicinal materials he grows in his farm are all relatively precious.

As the saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil. However, this year, the spring rain was so heavy that it was a little scary.

Because he suffered heavy losses on a batch of precious medicinal seedlings he had just purchased this year.

Just when he was worrying about what to do next and asking friends who grew medicinal herbs for advice, his newly moved neighbor came up with a solution that surprised him.

After listening to what the doorman said, he felt that it made a lot of sense, so he immediately followed the method. In the past few days, the medicinal seedlings were no longer washed out by water, and the losses were temporarily stopped.

He was very grateful in his heart and felt that the other party was a master, otherwise he would not have thought of such a method. For this reason, he came to the door with gifts to express his gratitude today.

"My name is Tan Dahe. It's indeed a bit abrupt for me to visit you today. The other day, the girl passed by and saw our medicinal seedlings. She gave us some advice. We did as she said, and the loss of medicinal seedlings has been reduced a lot in the past few days." He excitedly bowed to Gu Xiaoxi to express his gratitude.

"Neighbor, you're too polite. I was just talking nonsense. I didn't expect you to actually do this." Gu Xiaoxi said modestly.

"Hey, girl, you are not talking nonsense. Your suggestions have relieved a lot of burden for us!" Tan Dahe felt that the girl was too modest.

Gu Xiaoxi chatted with this person for a while and shared some of his experiences in growing medicinal seedlings.

Tan Dahe listened very carefully and before leaving, he asked to see their medicinal fields.

He arrived at the medicinal field and discovered that their family didn't have a shed, yet the medicinal seedlings were growing so well. Curious, he asked, "Miss Xiaoxi, do you have any secret recipe? You don't even have a shed, yet these medicinal seedlings are growing so well. I hardly see any areas where the spacing is too large."

Gu Xiaoxi...

Of course, I can’t talk about the spiritual spring water.

However, since she was asked, she had to find a better excuse, so she said, "Because I mixed some other things and spread them in the medicinal fields, so the roots of these medicinal seedlings are more solid."

"Can I see the roots of the medicinal seedlings?" asked Tan Dahe.

"Of course!" Gu Xiaoxi felt that this matter could not be hidden. After all, in addition to the medicinal seedlings in their farm, the medicinal seedlings in the village were also growing in the same way.

So, the two of them squatted down and pulled out a medicinal seedling. Tan Dahe looked at the roots carefully and found that they were indeed much stronger than those medicinal seedlings in their family.

"Miss Xiaoxi, where did you buy the medicinal seedlings?" Tan Dahe asked.

Gu Xiaoxi replied, "Hongyun Pharmacy in Nancheng Medicine Market. My friend recommended it to me. Their medicinal seedlings are pretty good."

"It's the same in our family. I see some of ours are of the same variety, but the difference between these is too big.

It seems this has a lot to do with the things the girl prepared. I wonder if she would be willing to sell some to me. Just name your price." This wasn't the first time Tan Dahe had bought medicinal seedlings at Hongyun Pharmacy.

Not only him, but several of his druggist friends nearby also bought from this store. The quality of their products should be the same, so the problem lies in what the girl prepared.

Gu Xiaoxi thought this guy was quite clever. After a moment's thought, she said, "Because our medicinal seedlings were irrigated with the stuff I made from the beginning, their roots grew strong. Yours have been through this storm, so even if you continue to use them, they may not have the same effect as they do now. Don't let you down later."

After hearing this, Tan Dahe shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I will definitely not be disappointed. Even if the results are not as good as yours, it will be better than last year."

He was very persistent in his idea because the roots of the medicinal seedlings here were much larger and denser than those he planted, so it was no wonder that they could take root so firmly in the soil.

Gu Xiaoxi was a little hesitant. She didn't really want to do this business, fearing that she wouldn't be able to manage it in the future.

"How about this? I'll mix some for you, but I won't sell this year's.

"But you have to promise me to keep this a secret, because I don't have much time to work on it. Its biggest benefit is actually improving the soil. As long as the soil is fertile, anything you grow will be fine." She stated her request.

"Thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady! I will keep my mouth shut!" Tan Dahe assured repeatedly.

At noon, Gu Xiaoxi invited Tan Dahe to have a simple meal at her home. In the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi followed Tan Dahe to their farm.

This time, Gu Xiaoxi looked at all the medicinal fields in the farm, calculated the area there, and asked him to make some thin special iron buckets tomorrow and send the iron buckets to the farm.

Tan Dahai took the drawing given by Gu Xiaoxi and saw such a barrel for the first time.

Gu Xiaoxi told him the benefits of this bucket, and he praised it again and again.

In fact, this is the kind of bucket used for beverages, but the modern ones are made of plastic. There is no plastic here, so we can only make thin iron ones.

These have a large lid on top that can be tightened, water can be poured in from the top, and then the water valve at the bottom can be opened, and another bucket can be used to collect water for irrigation.

"Great, it's really great. You can put ice in this bucket in the summer and drink ice water." Tan Dahe said casually.

"Hey, this is a good idea. When the weather gets hot, I will open a teahouse on the roadside and sell some delicious sweet soups." Gu Xiaoxi had an idea when he heard what Tan Dahe said.

She was so happy that she didn't expect that doing a good deed would also give her another set of business skills.

"When the time comes, I will definitely bring my friends to show my support." Tan Dahe laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Okay, it's settled. Boss Tan, please make these iron cans first. We need to wait until the weather is warmer before we can open the teahouse." Gu Xiaoxi took note of this in his mind.

There are many merchants passing by on the road here, and the sweet soup business is really worth doing.

Not only can they sell sweet soups, but they can also make some snacks and cakes. Oh, and their dried tofu, so their business is definitely going to be good.

The most important thing is that this place is close to home, my family can have an income, and they don’t have to live too far away from home like before.

Okay, okay, okay!

This business is booming.

With a plan in mind, she had something to do.

That is to research the syrups used to make tea. Now it rains every day and it is unlikely to go into the mountains, so it is better to study this matter carefully.

After returning from Boss Tan's house, the Gu family found that Gu Xiaoxi was busy again.

"Ershun, what happened when you and her went to Boss Tan's place this afternoon? What is she planning to do?" Xue originally wanted to talk to her sister-in-law about business matters, but when she entered the yard, she saw her sister-in-law walking back and forth between several rooms. She wondered what she was busy with.

"It seems that the young lady is going to do business again." Er Shun replied to Xue after pondering what he heard in the afternoon.

After hearing this, Xue jumped three feet high and immediately went to find her sister-in-law excitedly to ask what was going on.
