Jiang Xiaotiao's father is Jiang Fuguo, and he is the village chief of Tianya Village.

Tianya Village is a small and poor village. Being the village chief of Tianya Village does not bring high salary. Jiang Fuguo only makes more than 370 yuan a month.

And the correct term is not salary, but village head subsidy.

So in addition to his job as village chief, Jiang Fuguo and his wife also manage a few acres of land. Due to limited energy, they do not raise any poultry. What he is most satisfied with is that he built a house that is big enough for his eldest daughter, eldest son and youngest son to each have their own room.

Although his eldest daughter is married and his eldest son is working away from home, Jiang Fuguo is still worried about money.

Because the eldest son Jiang Daqiang has reached the age to get married. It is not easy to get married these days. The bride price alone is a considerable amount of money.

Although he was short of money, Jiang Fuqiang was an honest man and had never thought of using his position as village chief for personal gain.

So when Jiang Xiaotiao took out two hundred yuan, Jiang Fuqiang's first reaction was to wonder if Jiang Xiaotiao had stolen someone else's money. He immediately asked angrily:

"Did you take someone else's money?"

"Dad, this is all the money I earned from digging and selling medicinal herbs myself!" Jiang Xiaotiao felt very aggrieved when he heard his father's criticism.

"Nonsense! It's not like I haven't seen people selling medicine before. How much can they get for it?"

"His father, listen to Xiaotiao first! Don't have a stern face without knowing right or wrong!" Jiang Xiaotiao's mother still prefers the child.

"I sold eight kilograms of windproof plants in total."

"Eight jin? Can eight jin be sold for so much money?" Jiang Fuguo naturally looked unconvinced.

Jiang's mother said, "I asked someone the other day, and they said it could be sold for five yuan a pound in town, so it should be sold for at least forty or fifty yuan. Xiaotiao, tell me if you sold anything else."

"No, I went to Jing City with Brother Xu Shang to sell them!"

"You went to Jing City?"

“Can Jingshi sell for so much money?”

Jiang's mother was worried about her child going on a long journey, but Jiang Fuguo couldn't help but do the math. It could only be sold for 5 yuan per catty in the town, so could it be sold for 25 yuan per catty in Jing City?

Jiang Xiaotiao quickly explained, "The old man said that wild and fresh fangfeng is 30 yuan per kilogram, which is 15 yuan per catty. Mine is quite dry... And, it seems that he gave me a high price just for Brother Xu Shang's sake!"

After hearing this, Jiang Fuguo believed it a lot more, but he still took Jiang Xiaotiao to find Xu Shang.

"Uncle Jiang, it's like this. The owner of that store is the father of one of my classmates, so he is willing to buy our herbs at the market price."

What the classmate’s father said was just nonsense made up by Xu Shang, but this kind of nonsense is often more effective than the truth.

Compared to complex truths, people often tend to believe in simple personal connections.

Jiang Fuguo really believed it. After all, Xu Shangke was a city dweller, and his father was said to be a big boss, so it was not surprising that he had such connections.

He couldn't help but ask, "They didn't deliberately charge a high price, did they?"

"No, no! I can guarantee that they are basically purchased at the average market price! The medicinal materials in our Tianya Village and Tianya Mountain are of very good quality. Even if they are purchased at the average market price, they can still make a lot of money!"

"The reason why we can't sell at a high price is that, firstly, this is the place of origin, so of course the price won't be high there; secondly, all the shops, distributors, and buyers want to make money! I sold it to the pharmacy myself, so there are no middlemen to make a profit, so of course the price is high!"

The line about there being no middlemen making a profit from the price difference is still very powerful in this era.

Jiang Fuguo completely believed what Xu Shang said, and he was even more excited. Eight kilograms of windproof can be sold for two hundred yuan, which is half a month's salary for him. If he can harvest eight hundred kilograms, then the money for his eldest son's betrothal gift will be settled.

Of course, 800 kilograms was just a thought. Jiang Fuguo couldn't help asking, "Well, Xu Shang, I want to ask you, if I collect herbs, can I sell them to your classmate's father?"

"Welcome! If my uncle wants to sell the herbs to me, I would certainly welcome it!"

Mother Jiang's expression on the side moved slightly, and she seemed a little hesitant, but she soon asked:

"Xiao Xu, I have a cousin in the village who doesn't do his job all day. Can I ask him to pick herbs and sell them to you..."

Xu Shang was delighted when he saw this. He had thought that the promotion of his medicine collection business would be smoother, but he had not expected it to be so smooth. Bringing Jiang Xiaotiao with him when selling medicine now seemed like a pleasant surprise.

Xu Shang then quickly said, "Uncle Jiang, this is what I was thinking. Otherwise, all the herbs collected by the villagers can be given to me to sell! How about this, I just pay for them directly?"

"Pay money to collect it?" The Jiang family looked at Xu Shang curiously.

Xu Shang cleared his throat and said, "There are many treasures hidden in the mountains of Tianya Village. But we often can't see them. Even if we pick some precious herbs, the money goes to those middlemen!"

"This is what I think. I will purchase medicinal materials based on the market price and different grades! Just sell them to me with confidence!"

Jiang Fuguo couldn't help but ask again: "What's the market price?"

"Take fangfeng as an example. Fresh wild fangfeng is about 30 yuan per kilogram. I can guarantee that the lowest price I purchase will not be less than 15 yuan per kilogram!"

"Are you telling the truth?"
