Although not many people go to the county town to inquire about medicine prices, there are still quite a few.

Except for a few villagers who looked confused, most of them actually nodded.

Many of them did not go to the county town to inquire, but they also went to the homes of those who had gone to the county town to inquire.

Those villagers who had no idea about this wanted to go up and question the villagers who nodded when they saw them.

They are all from the same village, even from the same clan or family, but they didn't even inform them.

This is really too much!

No matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, this is not the time to argue with them.

"Do you think I'm making a lot of money by buying your herbs for one cent per pound and selling them to the clinic for three cents per pound?" Lin Shiyu asked with narrowed eyes.

Half of the people at the scene shook their heads, and half nodded.

"Heh!" Lin Shiyu chuckled when she saw their expressions.

The villagers who were close to her got goosebumps when they heard her laughter and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Come on, let me settle the bill for you." As she said this, she sat down on the chair, as if she was going to have a long talk.

"One penny is the price of fresh herbs. Three pennies is the price of dried herbs. How much do you think is left after a pound of fresh herbs is dried?"

It takes five pounds of fresh herbs to produce about three pounds of hay, which can be sold for nine cents. After deducting the cost of giving it to the villagers, you can still make four cents.

Some villagers suddenly realized that they had never really figured out the difference between dry and wet.

"I don't know about herbs, but I usually like to dry vegetables. Tender vegetables weigh about half a pound, and older vegetables weigh about six ounces. I think herbs should weigh about the same!"

An old lady stood up and said that it was like spring in their place all year round and there were so many fresh vegetables that they couldn't finish eating them. Apart from those who liked dried vegetables, few people would dry them.

"About the same." Lin Shiyu changed her position and gave an affirmative answer.

The villagers gathered around and thought to themselves, "This way, the money earned by the young doctor's family will be basically cut in half, and they feel relieved instantly."

But it’s still a lot more than them!

They went out to pick fruits under the scorching sun and rain and only earned so little, while the young master and his family sat at home and easily earned more than them, which still made them feel unhappy.

This is the idea of ​​a small number of people. The rest of the villagers didn’t think so much. After all, even if they earned a little more, it was earned by others through their own ability and there was no need to envy them.

Looking at the expressions of those people, Lin Shiyu knew what they were thinking without having to guess:

"A pound of fresh herbs can yield five or six ounces of dried herbs, and that's a pretty good assumption. In reality, there aren't that many. Why?"

The villagers shook their heads.

"Because there's loss. For example, if you didn't pick them properly and they were damaged, or if the herbs haven't grown old enough, these have to be picked out. Not to mention that many people don't pick them carefully, and a lot of grass gets mixed in. If these are picked out, only eight or nine ounces of herbs are left out of a pound of herbs."

She will check the herbs before weighing them. If there are too many weeds mixed in, she will not accept them. If there are only a small amount, she will accept them.

The villagers continued to think that this would mean that the young master's family would earn even less money.

Why do I feel a little happy?

"Furthermore, the entrance fee to the county town is another expense. Most people in the village have hardly ever been to the city. Let me explain here that the fees for individuals entering the city and for transporting goods are different."

No one really knew about this, even those who secretly went to the county town to inquire about the price of medicine did not know about it. They did not take anything when they went there, they only paid their personal entrance fee to the city.

"Do you think this is over? No, not yet." The more Lin Shiyu spoke, the more she felt she had lost out. "Besides these expenses, we also have to build good relationships with the clinic's owner and apprentices. Isn't it reasonable to treat them to dinner occasionally? This is another huge expense."

Lin Shiyu's face looked a little grim. Even though it was hard to see clearly in the dark, her bad mood could not be stopped by the darkness and was transmitted directly to the villagers.

"If you calculate it this way, there won't be much left for us."

She sighed in her heart. Although what she said was a little exaggerated, it was not far from the truth. If she calculated it this way, if she simply made money based on this, getting rich would be a long way off.

After all, this is not a few months ago. At that time, they were penniless and would do anything as long as there was income, no matter how much or how little.

Things are different now. The debt has been paid off, and she has a high income from ointments and oils. She doesn't care about the little money she makes from purchasing and picking herbs. Compared with this, it is both mentally and physically tiring, and she has to deal with the troubles at hand.

Taking all the above into consideration, should she stop being a middleman?

Silence is unsettling.

Sometimes the sixth sense is not something that only women have. Under special circumstances, everyone will have this vague feeling.

For example, right now, the villagers have this strange feeling.

I feel inexplicably anxious.

It was a premonition that the coins were about to fly away from me.

The thought of whether to terminate it or not appeared for a moment before Lin Shiyu suppressed it.

Although it doesn’t make money, there are other benefits besides not making money, right?

"This doesn't even include our family's labor costs. Ask yourselves, are we Lin's family earning enough money to justify our losses?"

In fact, while Lin Shiyu was speaking, the surrounding villagers had already started calculating in their hearts. They didn't know why, but after the calculation, they found that they seemed to earn more money than Dr. Lin's family!

This result should have made them happy, but they couldn't seem to be happy at the moment. They had a feeling that if Dr. Lin really earned too little, they might not have this source of income in the future.

When it comes to their own interests, their brains are much smarter than usual.

As soon as this idea came out, people became anxious.

But no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't be more anxious than Lin Shiyu's desire to go home and eat. She just pressed her hand, blocking the villagers' words and said:

"If it weren't for my father saying that the villagers had helped him prepare for the exam, our Lin family would never have told anyone about this money-making opportunity."

All the money that Lin Anru borrowed that year has been repaid.

The money has been paid off, but the favor has not been settled yet!

"Everyone has made quite a bit of money over this period of time, and my father has almost repaid the debt he owes you. Let's put the purchase of herbs on hold for now!"

Her words caused an uproar. What could happen if her guess came true?

"Little Doctor..."
