Ning Zhishui recommended the types of herbs he had selected to them, and then left it to them to choose.
These herbs do not require many years to produce good medicinal effects, and they are not common varieties. As long as they can be grown, there will be a market for them.
Even if the entire Chaomen Village only grows the same medicinal herb, the market price will not be disrupted due to excessive quantity.
But what happens next is up to them.
Should they choose one of the three new herbs, or maintain the status quo and grow the herbs they are already good at?
The herbs I’m good at are very stable and there’s no risk, but the profit is low.
There are risks with new herbs, but the rewards are also great.
After Ning Zhishui finished speaking, he stopped talking and just waited for their own thoughts.
"...We have plenty of time and energy, so let's go grow some banana-leaf flowers! There are so many crystals there, even if the cost is a little higher, we can still make a lot! I'd even live in the herb field and not go home to sleep!"
"Old Liu, we're both in poor health and lack the energy. I'm afraid we can't grow banana flowers. I think the gray nan fruit is more suitable for us. We can take turns to look after it, and I'm not afraid of the unpleasant smell!"
The situation of each family is different. After hearing the news, everyone first thought about it for a while, and then discussed it with their families.
Except for a very few people, everyone else plans to plant new herbs, but they dare not plant all of them at the beginning. They plan to try one or two rows first, and it will not be too late to change them once they get the hang of it.
After everyone discussed for a while, they looked at Ning Zhishui.
"Miss Xiaoning, if we want to grow these herbs, where should we buy the seedlings? We don't know much about this. What if we can't tell the difference and get cheated?"
"Yeah, do you have any reliable shops to recommend?"
Ning Zhishui smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. In the next two days, you can send someone to the city to inquire about the price, compare prices, and get a rough idea of the price and quality. In a few days, I will have a friend bring seedlings to Chaomen Village. If you like his seedlings, you can buy them from him. If not, it won't be too late to go back to the city and buy them yourself."
She was talking about none other than Leng Lu.
Ning Zhishui wanted Leng Lu to make this trip not just to deliver the seedlings, but also to let him take this opportunity to expand his shop and not just limit it to Luoyu City.
Anyway, it doesn't matter who the business is, Ning Zhishui will give them a very reasonable price, and it will not affect his own profitability.
If you want your business to last long, you cannot do business at a loss. Otherwise, if you give people a low price now for the sake of favors, and then ask for a price increase when you lose money in the future, it will become a case of gratitude and resentment.
"That's great! Thank you so much." Village Chief Hong's hands were shaking with excitement.
Ning Zhishui made it very clear that she was willing to let everyone understand the market price first before deciding whether to buy from her friend.
This gives both parties enough trust and decency, and the way this was done really leaves no room for doubt.
Everyone was talking in the fields. With the new prospects, everyone looked happy and excited.
Especially those whose children are away from home practicing and unable to return home for years were so excited that they were almost in tears.
Just then, Qin sent envoys over.
"Is Xiaoning here?" Chuzi shouted from a distance.
When everyone stopped talking, they turned around and saw the Qin envoy and the pestle coming over.
The two men had serious and sullen expressions, as if they were suppressing their anger and impatience.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Village Chief Hong stepped forward and asked with a bow.
"I'm looking for Xiao Ning. I have something to ask her."
Envoy Qin's gaze passed through the crowd and fixed on Ning Zhishui in the middle. "Come with me."
"I wonder what you two want to talk to Xiao Ning about? She is telling everyone about medicinal herbs right now." Village Chief Hong said with a smile.
He noticed that these two people seemed to have bad intentions, and that it was probably not a good thing to look for Ning Zhishui.
The more this happened, the more he had to stop it.
Chaomen Village has received such a great favor from Ning Zhishui, so naturally they should protect her.
"Yeah, I wonder what's the matter?" Ning Zhishui asked calmly, with some doubt in his eyes.
"Have you seen Old Xu?" Envoy Qin stared at her. "He's the one you dealt with at the Shangxian Temple yesterday."
"Oh, I saw him. Wasn't it yesterday?" Ning Zhishui tilted his head, puzzled.
"He disappeared last night and hasn't been found yet. Has he come to look for you?" the Qin envoy asked again.
Ning Zhishui was stunned. "He disappeared? What does this have to do with me? Why did he look for me?"
"Really?" The Qin envoy narrowed his eyes.
"That's a strange question. I'm not familiar with him. Why did you come to me when he had something to ask?" Ning Zhishui said speechlessly, "Even if you wanted to ask, you should ask everyone, right?"
As soon as the Qin envoy opened his mouth, the Du family members' expressions froze, and their hearts sank.
Something must have happened to Old Xu!
If nothing had happened, the Qin envoy would not have come to question Ning Zhishui like this.
But... the reason I asked Ning Zhishui was because Old Xu really had looked for her yesterday, and she...
The Du family couldn't help but swallow their saliva, frightened by the guess, but they tried hard to keep a straight face.
"Since everyone is here, I'll ask. My companion Xu Zhu disappeared last night. I've been searching for him in vain, and he hasn't responded to my calls. This is a first for him, and it's extremely unusual. I suspect he's met with an accident."
The Qin envoy turned his gaze away from Ning Zhishui and looked around at everyone. "So, if anyone saw him last night, noticed anything unusual, or has any clues, please come to me privately and tell me. I will reward you handsomely!"
The villagers were stunned and could not help whispering to each other.
"Missing?"
"Could something have really happened? The road is slippery due to the rain. Did he fall down the mountain?"
"No way...that's too stupid."
"Maybe he's drunk and hasn't woken up yet?"
While everyone was discussing, a woman was wringing her clothes tightly, with fear flashing in her eyes.
She glanced at Ning Zhishui, then quickly looked away.
"And you, Miss Ning, if you have any discoveries or clues, please feel free to come to the Shangxian Temple to find me. I will reward you handsomely." The Qin envoy said to Ning Zhishui again.
Ning Zhishui nodded, "Okay, I understand, but I've never seen him."
The Qin envoy said nothing more and left with the pestle.
At this time, someone asked in confusion, "Why are there only two people here? Where is the guy called Lao Niu?"
He is not feeling well and is bedridden. It will take him a day or two to recover.
Ning Zhishui thought to himself.
The Qin envoy was now in a state of panic. One of his men was missing and his life or death was uncertain, and the other one fell ill for no reason.
The remaining Chuzi is not very smart. He is definitely not confident in letting Chuzi take the beads to deliver to Manager Qu. This is a serious matter and it will be a disaster if it is lost.
