They were talking in the ward, and they were also talking in Dr. Huo's office.

Zhao Honghui sought out Dr. Huo not only to understand Yu Wenbo's condition but also for a follow-up examination.

After examining him, Dr. Huo asked about his recent condition.

Zhao Honghui told him the truth: the most recent attack was when Yu Wenbo was brought to the hospital for emergency treatment last time, and there had been no attacks since.

"From what you're saying, your leg injury is getting better! Have you been drinking any special foods or doing any special training lately?"

Zhao Honghui knew very well that it was Yao Yao's mysterious water and medicinal wine that had worked, but he couldn't tell Doctor Huo this, so he had to lie: "I paid close attention to keeping warm and didn't catch a cold. Everything else was the same as usual, nothing special."

"Your body is repairing itself, so continue to take good care of yourself." After giving his instructions, Dr. Huo said with emotion, "The potential of the human body is truly mysterious and powerful. I was really surprised that Yu Wenbo could be rescued from such a serious injury and recover so well in such a short time."

Zhao Honghui blinked, concealing his thoughts, and used this opportunity to inquire about Yu Wenbo's health.

After learning the details, she returned to the ward and told Yu Wenbo to rest assured and recover.

Chen Kai told them that Yang Shumei and Zhao Jianbin had also visited the hospital that morning. "They said they were going to see a movie, but I don't know if they've gone back yet."

Zhao Honghui's heart skipped a beat, and he asked Yao Yao, "Do you want to watch? Let's check if there are any tickets after we're done."

"OK!"

To be honest, Xie Yuyao had watched many films and television dramas from later eras and didn't have high expectations for films from this period. But being with Zhao Honghui was a different story.

Being with someone you love makes everything you do meaningful.

After leaving the hospital, the two went to take care of business: to find Qi Tai, the boss of the largest black market in the county.

After another winding journey to that secluded courtyard, Xie Yuyao's feelings were complicated.

Last time I walked to this intersection with Chen Kai, we saw Zhao Honghui and we were like mice seeing a cat, trying to hide as fast as we could.

Back then, she never imagined that the two of them would end up like this.

Zhao Honghui knocked on the door, which was quickly opened by a young man. "Who are you looking for?"

"Qi Tai".

The young man sized up the two men and thought Zhao Honghui looked familiar. "The boss isn't here. Why don't you go inside and wait a bit while I go find him?"

"OK."

He ushered the two men into the reception room, made them a cup of tea, and set out refreshments. "How should I address you, sirs? Do you know my boss?"

"My name is Zhao Honghui, Qi Tai knows me."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go find someone right away."

Zhao Honghui nodded, and the man turned and left.

Only Xie Yuyao and Xie Yuyao remained in the tea room. Xie Yuyao asked curiously, "Are you very familiar with that Qi Tai?"

“We’ve dealt with each other a few times.” Zhao Honghui, seeing that no one was outside, approached her and whispered, “Just a few days ago, he even helped catch a few fish that had escaped the net.”

"Really!" Xie Yuyao was shocked, not expecting Ge Dong to have a backup plan. "So what's the situation now?"

"We are intensifying the interrogation in an effort to find the person hiding in the shadows."

"Be careful." Xie Yuyao didn't ask him why he got involved; she only hoped he wouldn't get hurt.

Zhao Honghui took her hand and reassured her, "Don't worry, Hui Zi and I are just helping out from the shadows."

Half an hour later, Qi Tai knocked on the door and came in.

Upon seeing Zhao Honghui, a faint smile appeared on his fierce face, and he spoke with familiarity: "What brings you here?"

"I'm looking to buy a ginseng root from you."

"Oh? Did the sun rise in the west today?" Qi Tai knew he must have come with ulterior motives, so he teased him on purpose.

Zhao Honghui coughed awkwardly, covering his mouth.

In the past, Qi Tai approached him more than once, wanting to cooperate with him and use the resources of the transport team to sell goods from the south to the north, but he refused.

"Just tell me whether you'll accept it or not!"

Qi Tai sat down and poured himself some tea. "How could I refuse the things you brought?"

Xie Yuyao took out a gift box from her handbag and placed it on the table in front of Qi Tai.

Qi Tai shifted his gaze from the gift box to her. "What is your name, young lady?"

"My name is Xie Yuyao, and I am an educated youth from Qingshan Village, Hongqi Commune."

“My girlfriend,” Zhao Honghui added.

Qi Tai saw the smugness hidden in his eyes and gave him a wry smile.

"Xie Zhiqing, I've heard Dayong mention you. He bought that batch of astragalus from you. He also mentioned wanting to continue our collaboration, making cooked food and pastries."

Qi Tai had heard Zhao Dayong praise her for being very beautiful, and seeing her today, he was indeed a rare beauty. Zhao Honghui was really lucky.

Having said that, Xie Yuyao simply stated her purpose: "I want to make braised dishes and cooked food, both meat and vegetarian. If we can cooperate, we can hand over the finished products directly to Zhao Dayong."

"No problem, you can do some trial sales first. We can discuss the details after seeing the market response." Qi Tai readily agreed to the cooperation.

Zhao Honghui said seriously, "You know what I'm worried about. If something really happens, we absolutely cannot let Yao Yao be involved."

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, it will only go to my people," Qi Tai said solemnly, agreeing. "Of course, it would be even safer to sell the child directly."

Zhao Honghui scoffed, "Who would kill the hen that lays the golden eggs?"

"That's hard to say. If the price is right, there are plenty of people who will buy it all at once. But since you're not interested, we can just supply the goods directly."

After saying this, Qi Tai reached out and opened the box, where he saw a wild ginseng root in excellent condition. "Did you find this too?"

"Yes." Xie Yuyao was not guilty at all. She had already heard about the ginseng that people had found in the nearby mountains before.

Qi Tai was surprised: "You are an expert in herbs, and you often go to the mountains to collect them?"

"I wouldn't call myself an expert, just someone with a superficial understanding. I'm lucky; I don't go up the mountain often, but I always come back with something." Xie Yuyao used Daqingshan Mountain as cover.

“Then we can also explore more cooperation on medicinal herbs. I’ll compile a price list for you later.”

"Okay." Xie Yuyao readily agreed. The produce from her medicinal fields in her spatial dimension could now be converted into cash!

As for the herbs from the clinic, she had no intention of getting them through the transaction, since it was illegal.

"If you're not in a hurry, I can find you a buyer and get you a good price for this ginseng. Of course, I can also buy it."

Xie Yuyao asked, "What's the purchase price?"

"Look at the stem, body, and roots; it's over thirty years old, and the processing is excellent. I'll sell it for 350."

For other people, the maximum is no more than three hundred.

"Then I'll just give it to you directly." The price was higher than she had expected, which must be due to Zhao Honghui's influence. As for finding another buyer, even if the price could be higher, the timeframe was uncertain, so she wasn't going to wait.

As a result, Xie Yuyao received thirty-five "Great Reunion" cards.

Great, now I have money to shop till I drop.
