In the mountains and forests, the sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting spots of light.

Lin Zhiyue was delighted to see the team members enthusiastically engaging in the work of collecting herbs.

She quickly blended in, moving through every corner of the forest, searching for traces of medicinal herbs with a keen eye.

Lin Zhiyue bent down and searched carefully among a clump of weeds, and found several good-quality siler plants. She picked them carefully and gently put them into the backpack.

When she stood up, she caught a glimpse of a familiar green color next to a rock not far away. When she got closer, she found that they were a few plants of Angelica dahurica.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately started digging.

In the process of collecting herbs, every time she discovered a new herb, she would silently calculate its medicinal value and market price in her mind, adding more possibilities for the future development of the village.

At the same time, members of each team were also busy.

Led by Uncle Zhang, the members of the first team were concentrating on searching for Astragalus.

They were scattered on the hillside, keeping their eyes fixed on the ground, not missing any place where Astragalus might grow.

Once someone finds the target, they will excitedly call their companions, and everyone will quickly gather around and pick the fruits carefully according to the method taught by Lin Zhiyue.

The members of the second team were carefully identifying Bupleurum in the mountains and forests.

Relying on his familiarity with the mountains and forests, Brother Li can always lead everyone to find areas where Bupleurum chinense grows more concentratedly.

While picking, the team members exchanged techniques on identifying Bupleurum chinense, and their laughter echoed through the mountains and forests.

Led by Aunt Zhao, the members of the third team shuttled through the damp grass and shady hillsides, looking for Atractylodes lancea.

Aunt Zhao is experienced and reminds the team members from time to time to pay attention to the growth environment and characteristics of Atractylodes lancea.

The team members listened carefully to the instructions and tried their best to collect every plant of Atractylodes lancea.

In this way, time passes quietly in busyness and concentration.

Unconsciously, the sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed with a gorgeous sunset glow.

Lin Zhiyue looked at the sky and blew the whistle for assembly.

Team members gathered from all corners of the forest, each with a tired but satisfied smile on their face, and their backpacks filled with the fruits of today's labor.

Everyone lined up and walked briskly along the winding mountain road back to the village.

A busy day of collecting herbs is coming to an end, and the afterglow of the setting sun has dyed the entire threshing ground a warm orange.

Lin Zhiyue stood in the middle of the crowd with a gratified smile on her face. She looked at the villagers who were a little tired from their busy work but full of excitement and anticipation. She raised her voice and said, "Thank you for your hard work today! Everyone was very motivated throughout the whole day. Our herb-picking business is off to a good start!"

The villagers gathered around, their faces filled with joy of harvest, and shared their experiences and interesting stories of picking herbs today. "Today I finally know what these herbs look like. It's really not easy to pick them!" Uncle Zhang said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Yes, but as long as I can make money, it's worth it no matter how hard it is!" Aunt Li echoed.

Lin Zhiyue listened to everyone's conversation patiently, and when the voices died down, he continued, "Everyone has gained a lot today, and this is the result of our joint efforts. Next, there are more important things waiting for us to do. Preparing herbs is a technical job, which is related to whether our herbs can be sold at a good price. So tomorrow, each team will keep 5 people, and I will teach you how to prepare them first, and the rest of you will continue to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and then we will take turns, so that everyone can learn how to prepare them."

The villagers nodded in agreement and were full of confidence in the future plans.

Lin Zhiyue looked at everyone and reminded them again: "After you go back, have a good rest and get enough energy. Gather at the threshing ground early tomorrow morning. Don't be late. I will wait for you at the threshing ground. Let's work together for a better future for the village!"

After saying this, the villagers dispersed one after another.

The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened their shadows, and the breeze blew gently, carrying a mixture of scents of earth and herbs.

Lin Zhiyue looked at the direction where the villagers left, her heart full of longing for the future. She knew that as long as everyone worked together, the village's road to prosperity was right at their feet.

The next morning, the sun had not yet completely dispelled the mist and the birds in the woods had just begun to sing. Lin Zhiyue got up early, washed up simply, and hurried to the threshing ground.

She knew very well that today's mission was very important. Teaching the villagers to prepare herbs was related to the profits of the entire herbal medicine collection plan.

When Lin Zhiyue arrived at the threshing ground, the scene before her moved and inspired her.

I saw that the villagers had already stood neatly in the threshing ground, divided into three small teams, each with 5 people.

Everyone had anticipation on their faces, their eyes sparkling with a desire for new knowledge, and they were holding various simple tools in their hands, obviously fully prepared for today's learning.

The members of the first team stood straight, staring at the direction where Lin Zhiyue was coming, their eyes full of impatience.

Lin Zhiyue walked quickly to the front of the crowd, with a friendly smile on his face, and said: "Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, you all came really early! It can be seen that everyone cares about this. This is the hope for our village to get rich!" The villagers responded one after another, and laughter and greetings echoed in the threshing ground.

"Then let's get started without further delay." Lin Zhiyue said as he took out the astragalus he had picked yesterday from his backpack. The roots of the astragalus were thick and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
