Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.
The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...
"Uncle Zhang, you have a very good eye."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
"Nonsense, if I don't even know the herbs in this line of work, what's the point of doing this?"
Doctor Zhang rolled his eyes and waved, "Bring it here for me to see."
Chen Wang walked over as he was told and handed him the Coptis chinensis in his hand.
Doctor Zhang took it, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Well, it's a very good medicine. Did you get it in the mountains today?"
"Yes!"
"You guys are lucky, but this thing shouldn't be hard to pick, right?"
"I saw it the day before yesterday, and then I bought ropes and tools for chiseling stones. I took great pains to pick it today."
"How much did you get?"
"Nearly twenty kilograms!"
Chen Wang replied with a smile.
"Sure, I'll make a lot of money again. This thing is very valuable."
Doctor Zhang said in astonishment.
"Then you give me a high price and I will sell them all to you."
Chen Wang grinned.
"You're dreaming. I don't have that much money. It's useless to buy so much. How about this? I can give you 100 per kilogram. Please give me two kilograms!"
“Isn’t it a little low?”
"It's not low. It's still covered with dirt. You should remove these impurities, then wash and dry them."
Doctor Zhang said unhappily.
“Aren’t fresh ones better?”
"You think you're selling vegetables? That's the price anyway."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you two kilograms. Just consider it as doing a good deed for the villagers."
Chen Wang agreed.
"That's right, you have awareness."
Doctor Zhang smiled and nodded.
"Please weigh how much you have. If it's not enough, I'll get you more."
"It should be about two kilograms. If it's not enough, forget it. We'll take whatever we have."
"Alright."
Afterwards, Doctor Zhang weighed the handful of Coptis chinensis and found that the total weight was 1.82 jin, which was 1.82 jin.
Doctor Zhang went to the cabinet and took out 180 yuan and handed it to him.
"Thank you, I made money from you again."
Chen Wang took the stack of big unity notes with a smile and clapped his left palm.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the store is about to close."
Doctor Zhang waved his hand unhappily.
"Then I'll leave and won't disturb you and sister-in-law!"
Chen Wang smiled playfully.
Hearing this, He Guifen, who was leaning against the head of the bed, thought of what happened last time and her face suddenly blushed.
“Go, go, go!”
Doctor Zhang's face also turned red. He pushed him out of the door and then closed the door forcefully.
Chen Wang smiled even more happily and hummed a little tune all the way back home.
…
…
The next morning, Chen Wang took the remaining Coptis chinensis and went out on his bicycle.
First, we went to the next village to weigh and buy all the fish that Lao Lu had caught in the past few days, and then we rushed all the way to the town market.
I passed by a breakfast stall, bought a few buns, a fried dough stick and a cup of soy milk, then continued walking forward and found an empty seat.
He quickly finished his breakfast in a few bites and then poured out all the fish from the urea sack.
Now he didn't even need to shout, many old customers immediately gathered around him, rushing to pay for the fish.
As prices continued to rise, several other fish and meat vendors appeared in the market.
But both the quality and price are far worse than Chen Wang's.
Therefore, many customers who have consumed at Chen Wang’s stall are waiting for him to set up his stall every day.
"Boss, why aren't you active in making money? Haven't you been here for a few days?"
"That's right. I haven't eaten meat for two days."
"Boss, you can't do this. You need to be more diligent and come every day!"
"We are all your loyal customers. We won't buy from other stores."
"Why is there only fish and no meat today?"
“…”
"Thank you, thank you all for your kindness."
Chen Wang smiled and clasped his fists in thanks, saying, "I can't help it. Both the fish and meat here are wild. It takes time and luck to get them. It's not possible to catch good stuff every day, otherwise I would go hunting."
After hearing what he said, everyone expressed their understanding and said nothing more.
In less than an hour, more than 100 kilograms of fish were sold out.
Chen Wang decisively packed up his things and prepared to leave.
The money was made so efficiently that the stall owners around were envious.
After leaving the market, Chen Wang went straight to the purchasing station and found Comrade Xiao Xu to help purchase Coptis chinensis.
As a result, Comrade Xiao Xu was not familiar with these medicinal materials, so he had to go find Master Wang.
After checking the goods, Master Wang offered a price of 110 yuan per catty. The total weight was 16 catties and 7 ounces, which was lighter than Chen Wang had imagined.
"Your product has too many impurities and you brought it here without processing it. If it were processed, it would be high-quality dried goods and could be sold for two hundred per kilo."
"So much difference? Can I take it back and deal with it?"
"Almost the same. You have both soil and leaves here. The main part of this thing that can be used as medicine is the rhizome. I'm not sure if it can be half the weight after you process it and dry it."
Master Wang said with a smile.
"Then forget it, just sell it."
Chen Wang changed his words decisively.
Master Wang couldn't help laughing and waved, "Come on, come and have a couple of cups of tea with me in the back, and I'll give you the money."
"Okay, I'm a little thirsty."
Chen Wang agreed with a smile, looked at Comrade Xiao Xu, and pointed his thumb in the direction of the backyard.
"Go ahead!"
Xu Meijuan smiled and waved.
Chen Wang followed Master Wang to the backyard, where they drank a few cups of tea and played two chess games on the stone table and stone benches.
