Chapter 401 The secret recipe cannot be revealed

Shen Qingqian smiled and nodded, "Of course I take it seriously."

Merchants are profit-driven, and there is a way to quickly cultivate medicinal herbs, and that is money. Old Yu can figure it out with just a little thought.

"How soon can we harvest a crop of common medicinal herbs?" Lao Yu continued to ask.

Shen Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "About a month and a half. Some may even be faster."

No matter how brave she is, she can't use the king bomb combination, so she still has to use diluted fertilizer. However, she will not worry about some special medicinal herbs, but she will do it secretly.

Under the current conditions, it is possible to do this within a month and a half, but it will involve some costs.

"So fast!" Old Yu's eyes widened. He thought it would take at least three months!

Shen Qingqian nodded, "Yes, but there is still some initial investment. If Shopkeeper Yu finds it troublesome, then we can buy the medicinal herb seeds from you."

Of course, she would rather grow the herbs herself, but unfortunately she has no seeds. As for the medicinal herbs in this world, unless she gets them in the wild, she has to buy them from large medicinal herb dealers.

Generally speaking, herbal medicine merchants will not sell the medicinal herb seeds they have, after all, this will have an impact on their business.

“It’s right to invest, but Miss Shen, are you sure you can really do it?” Lao Yu was still very skeptical.

Shen Qingqian nodded, "Yes, even if it doesn't work in a month and a half, we will definitely be able to harvest it in two months."

She still has this confidence.

Old Yu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "How about this, the medicinal herb seeds Miss Shen wants this time will be provided by Jingrentang for free. However, please go to Jingrentang's medicinal garden in northern Hubei to guide our people. If you can really achieve what you said, we can harvest a crop in two months. After that, we will take care of all the medicinal herb seeds you want!"

It's just medicinal herbs. They have plenty of them in Jingrentang. As long as they can learn this method of quickly cultivating medicinal herbs, they will not have to worry about not making money.

"Thank you very much, Manager Yu." Shen Qingqian said with a smile.

Doctor Hu remained silent the entire time, until this moment when he finally spoke, "Even if the harvest takes a month and a half, the Hubei Northern Army can't wait that long."

The army's current stock of medicinal herbs can only last for half a month at most. If Shen Qingqian's herbs cannot be replenished by then, what will the soldiers do?

Shen Qingqian said calmly: "I also have a secret recipe that can make the medicinal herbs mature earlier."

"How long does it take to harvest the secret recipe?" Lao Yu asked hurriedly.

Doctor Hu also stared at her with eyes wide open, full of disbelief.

Shen Qingqian pondered for a moment, "About half a month."

"So what about the one and a half months you just mentioned?" Old Yu looked at her strangely.

Shen Qingqian smiled faintly, "Since it's a secret recipe, of course I can't tell you."

Now Old Yu understood, so this girl used a lower-quality method to exchange for the medicinal herb seeds of their Jingrentang.

"Can the girl sell this method to our Jingrentang?" Old Yu asked desperately.

Shen Qingqian shook her head, "Sorry, Shopkeeper Yu, no."

She didn't have much accelerating fertilizer on hand, and she didn't know how long it would last, so she naturally couldn't give it to others.

Old Yu still understood the principle of knowing when to quit. One look at Shen Qingqian's expression told him that this girl was not someone who would change her mind easily. After a moment of regret, he nodded, "Okay, then. It's settled."

In the end, Doctor Hu and Shen Qingqian brought back a cart full of medicinal herbs.

"Girl, these..." Doctor Hu pointed to the medicinal herbs in the car, "Where do you plan to plant them?"
