Seeing that the medicinal herbs in the greenhouse were growing very well, they discussed bringing Yunnan herbs to their home.

When the Yunnan medicine doctor saw Si Cheng arrive at his home, he initially thought someone was unwell and was quite troubled, because he had very few medicinal herbs left.

Si Cheng didn't say much, only asking him to come with him to his home. Seeing this, Yunnan Yao felt even more uncertain.

When they arrived at the house, they didn't bring the Yunnan snacks inside, but instead took them directly to the evening shed.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go inside?" After saying that, she looked around the greenhouse. "You've really managed this greenhouse very well, and there are so many green vegetables."

"Uncle Yao, come take a look this way." Si Cheng led him to the area where medicinal herbs were planted.

"You even have plantain here? And purple aster, and scutellaria... " Seeing this patch of medicinal herbs, Yunnan Medicine Doctor was so excited he couldn't speak.

"Uncle Yao, do you think these herbs are almost ready to be harvested?"

"How did you cultivate these? They are absolutely amazing. Now that everything outside is frozen solid, it's impossible to find these herbs. These herbs can all be harvested, and their medicinal effects are at their peak."

"Uncle Yao, take another look at the efficacy of these medicines. These are all based on prescriptions provided by traditional Chinese medicine doctors. We bought the seeds and planted them. They are effective against typhoid fever and inflammation, but the effects are not as fast as Western medicine."

At this point, the Yunnan medicine expert also began to seriously examine the medicinal herbs in the field, and sure enough, he found something that was indeed effective against wind-cold and inflammation.

This is wonderful. Although there aren't many medicinal herbs, at least we see hope.

Yunnan Yao looked at Si Cheng, seemingly wanting to speak but hesitant, not knowing how or where to begin.

Seeing the state of the Yunnan medicine, Si Cheng roughly guessed what he was thinking. However, this medicine really couldn't be given away for free. Otherwise, if his family took out something else in the future, others would naturally categorize it as public property, which would not be good if it fostered a sense of entitlement among everyone.

"Uncle Yao, let's go inside and talk."

Si Cheng brought the Yunnan medicine into the house, where his father-in-law and the others were already waiting.

"Ming-ge, it's so warm here. Your walls are so well-built, the whole house is warm without any blind spots."

"Come sit down, have some ginger soup to warm up, it's so cold outside, why did you have to come all this way?"

"After hearing what Ming said, I was thinking of coming over to sit and chat with you sometime. Staying at home every day is just too boring."

After Yunnan Yao finished drinking the ginger soup in his hand, Yun's mother also put the pine nuts that she had roasted earlier on the table, indicating that Yunnan Yao should have some.

"Ming-ge, just tell me straight, why did you call me here this time? Are you planning to donate the batch in the greenhouse to the village again?"

Yunqi and the others were right. When they saw the herbs, their first instinct was to donate them to the village. But why? Although they wanted to help the village, they knew they couldn't just keep giving without providing immediate relief.

Yun Zhiming simply looked at Yunnan Yao without saying a word. Although Yunnan Yao wasn't very emotionally intelligent, he realized at this moment that what he had said was inappropriate.

"Ming-ge, don't be like that. I didn't mean it. Just tell me, how do you want to handle this?"

When they encountered someone as straightforward as Yunnan Medicine, the family stopped beating around the bush and directly stated their requirements.

"These herbs can be given to the village for use first. We also have some medicinal herb seeds stored up, which we can provide for everyone to plant. However, half of the first batch of herbs planted must be returned to us. If you keep the seeds for yourself later, we will not charge you any more. As for how to plant the herbs, there are specific instructions here. You can come and copy them if you want. As for those who want to get the herbs for free, I'm sorry, they can only exchange them for grain."

“Ming, why didn’t you go directly to the village chief and the others this time? In the eyes of the villagers, they are much more persuasive than I am.”

Si Cheng then came in with a jar of his homemade fruit wine. “Isn’t this a matter of specialization? Uncle Yao, you know the most about medicinal herbs. This way, everyone will know which medicine is for which ailment, and I believe people will be more willing to trust a doctor.”

Seeing his son-in-law bring out a wine jar, Yun Zhiming quickly took out a few wine cups from the cabinet.

"Come on, have some more fruit wine. This is something I just came up with on my own. Try it." As he spoke, he opened the wine jar and filled it to the brim.

"This fruit wine is good, but I can't taste any fruit in it."

Yun Zhiming smiled smugly, "This is made by blending more than ten kinds of fruits together. The taste is not bad, is it?"

"It couldn't be better, but I wonder if it will have a strong aftereffect?"

"It will have some lingering effects. I'll have Sicheng take you back later."

“Ming-ge, I think we should discuss this with the village. I don’t know if everyone is willing to plant these medicinal herbs.”

"Whether they like it or not, this is all we'll provide initially, and it's not free; they'll have to exchange it for something of equal value. If they don't grow it themselves later, they won't be able to find us. As for the village, we'll need you to come with us to explain and prove that these medicinal herbs are effective for their conditions."

"No problem, that's only right. This is also a great thing for the village, and everyone should agree."

Yun Zhiming shook his head: "I'm afraid that some people will still not be satisfied and will feel that our family should not make these demands."

Thinking back to his initial reaction, Yunnan Yao awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Upon reflection, it was indeed a possibility.

Yunnan Yao learned his medical skills from his grandfather, so he has a comprehensive understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. He only learned Western medicine after the medical system organized unified training for them. His real expertise lies in traditional Chinese medicine. However, nowadays people only trust Western medicine because it works faster, tastes better, and is more convenient. Even when Yunnan Yao tries to persuade them to take traditional Chinese medicine, they mostly refuse. Gradually, he has stopped storing large quantities of traditional Chinese medicine. If no one wants to eat it, the herbs he harvests are just wasted. Now that Western medicine is unavailable, even if people want to take traditional Chinese medicine, there's nothing they can do. Everything outside is frozen, and it's impossible to find medicinal herbs.

Now that traditional Chinese medicine has been discovered, it means everyone's lives can be protected by an extra layer of protection. However, since Uncle Ming's family has donated several times before, everyone might be wondering why they don't continue to donate this time.

Now that everyone's starting point in life is roughly the same, why should we expect others to keep making sacrifices?
