Chapter 224 How could this ordinary woman mobilize so many people?

"Let's leave a few men behind and wait until dark to find an empty spot to pack up the sacks. We'll beat them up once and for all, and they'll keep us away from us in the future."

Lei Dafu, who has always been taciturn, suddenly made a proposal.

Shen Qing looked at Lei Dafu meaningfully.

"Great, Dafu! For those who are mean-spirited but afraid of getting beaten, your method is the simplest and most effective!"

"Beat him until his mouth is clean! If one beats doesn't work, beat him twice."

Anyway, it won't kill him, but it will make him wail in pain.

"Brother Dafu is right, I'll stay tonight!"

"I'll stay too!"

"And me!"

Every man had to stay, and choosing the right person became a problem.

"I'm from the Jiang family. This is mainly because of a girl from the Jiang family. How can a Jiang family member not be here?"

"What Jiang family girl? She's a girl from our village! She's the same to all of us. I'm good at fighting, and I'm sure I'll beat Liu Sheng to tears. Choose me!"

"I know what's important and what's not, I push myself!"

"I'm sure you'll be able to do it without me."

…

"Tonight, I'll take Dalang, Feng Meng, Zhao Hu, and Sanshan with me... After the fight, I'll be familiar with the nighttime terrain and will take you all home safely and quickly."

"Okay, Dafu brother, it's settled!"

"I agree!"

Shen Qing watched silently from the side, and gained a deeper understanding of Lei Dafu.

The most important proposal from beginning to end was made by this man. The competition for the candidate was fierce and it was difficult to find one. He made the final decision and also inserted himself in the position cleverly. No one opposed it and it was not abrupt at all.

Shen Qing discovered that this was because he had made good choices. He had taken care of all the families who came from the village, and they were all the best in each family. In addition, someone had said before that this was a matter for the villagers, and the Lei family was also a member of the village, so it was natural for him to stay.

A group of men gathered together and chatted, and they only talked about teaching Liu Sheng a lesson, and did not mention Liu Pozi and Wang Chuntao.

Shen Qing felt that this was a good point. Wang Chuntao didn't need to be mentioned. Since Mrs. Liu stood up for Liu Sheng, she would be obedient if Liu Sheng got into trouble.

But what she was looking forward to more was the birth of Wang Chuntao's child. How lively would it be if he didn't look anything like Liu Sheng?

After all, Liu Sheng and Wang Chuntao, as cousins, both have flat noses and narrow eyes. If the child looks like this...

After a short delay before entering the city, the group headed straight for the only pharmacy.

When the fat shopkeeper saw Shen Qing, he was almost as enthusiastic as if he had seen the God of Wealth.

"Oh my, I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long."

Originally an ordinary and inconspicuous village woman, unexpectedly brought hundreds of kilograms of high-quality astragalus, and sent thousands of kilograms of goods one after another!

Every family is closely related to her.

If this isn’t his God of Wealth, then what is it?

He called out to the medicine boy for some good tea, then turned around and asked with a smile on his face, "What new herbs are you bringing this time?"

"I have two kinds of medicine. Please tell me what price you can offer me, boss." Shen Qing also said with a smile.

Hearing the two things, the fat shopkeeper's eyes, which had been squeezed into two slits by the meat, suddenly opened a lot, "Okay, okay, we are old acquaintances. Don't worry, the price this time is absolutely right!"

This is a knowledgeable person, he dare not fool around anymore!

It's understandable if he quoted a low price the first time, but if he continues to lower the price after cooperating with others, others will be really disappointed. He is greedy for money but he still understands the basic business principles.

Feng Meng and several other men immediately carried sacks of medicinal materials into the pharmacy.

Looking at the several sacks of medicinal herbs, the fat shopkeeper suddenly smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

It’s really great. Others only send a few kilograms of herbs, and professional herbalists only send dozens of kilograms at most, but the ordinary woman in front of me can give hundreds of kilograms at a time!

And there will be at least several hundred or even thousands of kilograms delivered later.

The fat shopkeeper rubbed his hands, excitedly thinking that it would not be impossible for him to become the largest supplier of medicinal materials in the capital in the future, and it might even be just around the corner!

"Coptis? This stuff doesn't grow on flat ground. It's said to be found only on very high mountaintops. It's incredibly valuable, and you actually took three sacks of it!"

"Notopterygium wilfordii? Oh, it's so hard to find. Many people dig it up and eat the leaves and stems as if it were wild celery, not realizing the roots are medicinal. Very few survive to old age in the wild, and few people dig them up."

It needs to be dug, washed, cut, and dried... For this amount, it would take at least dozens or even hundreds of people to cooperate, right?

Especially in the wilderness, it is very difficult to find it.

This ordinary woman was actually able to mobilize so many people...

Shen Qing waited calmly for the fat shopkeeper to give his price.

The fat shopkeeper was amazed, sighed, and finally said happily: "I'll give you 130 coins per catty for Coptis chinensis and 60 coins per catty for Notopterygium wilfordii. Is that a deal?"

When they arrive at the pharmacies in the capital, these medicinal materials will be sold according to the amount of money or taels, but the price at that time is not much lower than the kilogram. But after all, this is the place of production. He has to make money, and the people who take over his goods also have to make money. The people who tinker with it later and every link in the pharmacy and clinic also have to make money. Isn't it expensive?

But they can only charge by kilogram, so there is no way to get a cheap price.

When they heard that something that grew wild in the mountains and only needed to be dug, washed and dried was priced at 60 or 130 coins per pound, all the men were shocked and drooled.

They knew that astragalus was expensive, but they never imagined that there was something more expensive than astragalus!

In the past, they had to dry the harvested crops before they could sell them, but they could only get seven or eight coins per pound at most. Now, they can get dozens or even hundreds of coins!

Aunt Shen Qing is so amazing...

The herbs were weighed quickly. After selling several large batches of herbs, the fat shopkeeper had enough cash. He immediately handed a small cloth bag to Shen Qing.

"The coptis root is thirty-nine liang, and the angelica root is twenty-four liang. Could you please count them?" the fat shopkeeper added, "I gave you an extra spear and scale."

It would be better to pay the wages after we get back, right?

Shen Qing has these two tools for weighing and cutting silver, but why would he not want something for free? This set is just right for the village as public supplies!

She thanked him and said, "Thank you, boss. I will send you the follow-up."

The fat shopkeeper quickly took over the conversation: "Just send it over with confidence, it will be exactly the same!"

Shen Qing was very satisfied, and the fat shopkeeper was also very satisfied. Both sides reached an agreement and were very happy.

Sixty-three taels!

The people following Shen Qing saw her talking calmly, taking the silver, and hearing her thank you for the valuable gift...

"Strange, my goodness, a pile of grass roots actually sold for over sixty taels of silver?!"

After leaving the drugstore, Liu Cuihua stood blankly beside the car, looking at the cloth bag filled with silver in Shen Qing's hand, which still seemed a little unreal.

She had sold Astragalus before and knew it was expensive! But she didn't know that these things that looked no different from grass roots were also medicinal herbs, and were just as expensive, no, even more expensive!

The men also gathered around, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration for Shen Qing.
