Huang Yongcai spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. Try it. If you like it, I'll bring some for you next time!"
"Okay!" Zhou Yiding took the bag and said, "Brother Huang, which grocery store did you buy the goods from?"
"I see. You're having a wedding tomorrow!" Huang Yongcai said with a smile, "Did the chef write the order? I'll buy it for you. You can come and get it later!"
"That's what I planned." Zhou Yiding handed him the list, "I will definitely go to Fu Niu with my third brother to attend the wedding banquet tomorrow!"
Huang Yongcai took it happily and said, "You're not going to eat nine bowls of rice. You're pretty good!"
After the order was handed over to Huang Yongcai, the two felt much more relaxed. They put the prawns in the frozen state and went to Deshengtang.
When the tractor passed the entrance of the clinic, they saw Wang Zhen and Yang Dongmei busy in the store. After stopping at the entrance of the alley, the two got off and moved out the dendrobium, wormwood, Polygonum multiflorum, as well as the Viola yedoensis and honeysuckle that they had collected during this period.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Doctor Wang opened it and asked, "I heard from your second brother that your family harvested a lot of Dendrobium officinale from the forest?"
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian looked at the bamboo basket, "They were all delivered today!"
Doctor Wang saw the full basket and said, "Wow! So many!"
Zhou Huai said happily: "There is another big basket like this outside, with a total of 86 kilograms of dry goods, and a few kilograms of dendrobium flowers."
"Yes, if we harvest some this year, it should grow better next year."
"Chunyan said so too." After Zhou Huaian put down the bamboo basket, he and Zhou Yiding carried all the other herbs to the backyard, and then took out the dendrobium and dendrobium flowers prepared for Dr. Wang.
"These dendrobiums are fried with fine sand and then dried. As for the dendrobium flowers, I won't sell them. You can keep them for making tea or stewing soup!"
Doctor Wang was not polite. He took the basket and took a look at the Dendrobium inside. Seeing that it was golden in color and had been dried well, he thought that Yang Chunyan had learned this from her old man.
Xiang Xiang said to the two of them, "Although drinking Dendrobium has many benefits, it is not suitable for people with heavy dampness, because the main function of Dendrobium is to nourish yin and clear away heat, nourish the stomach and produce fluid, and people with heavy dampness have more dampness to begin with, and eating Dendrobium may make the dampness worse.
In addition, Dendrobium has a cool nature and is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach. Eating it will aggravate the coldness and cause diarrhea and abdominal pain. "
After hearing this, Zhou Huaian asked: "What kind of symptoms can be considered as spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness?"
Doctor Wang: "Cold hands and feet, loose stools, pale tongue with white fur... these are all symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness."
The two nodded, "Remember, we'll go back and ask, if there is any, we won't give them food."
"Okay, I'll go call Wang Zhen to weigh you!" Doctor Wang placed the Dendrobium on the table in the main room and went to the clinic to call Wang Zhen.
Zhou Yiding teased Zhou Huaian and said, "The relationship between Doctor Xiao Wang and your younger sister-in-law has been settled. You and him will have to shoulder two responsibilities from now on!"
"Yes! My mother-in-law originally felt that the two families were not a good match and was afraid that my sister-in-law would suffer a loss if she married him. After Dr. Wang asked a matchmaker to go to Hengshan to propose marriage, my father-in-law and mother-in-law felt relieved to let them date."
Zhou Yiding wondered, "Why are you still worried about this? Who is this old man, Doctor Xiao Wang?"
Zhou Huaian: "I heard that he was an official in the provincial capital, but we didn't ask."
"Oh!" Zhou Yiding didn't ask much when he saw Wang Zhen coming. He smiled and said, "Doctor Wang, let's go to Fu Niu to attend the wedding banquet tomorrow!"
"I remember now. Tomorrow is your big day." Wang Zhen smiled and clasped his fists. "Congratulations, congratulations! I will definitely be there tomorrow."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Zhou Yiding said with a smile, "And bring Dr. Wang and your girlfriend along too!"
Wang Zhen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there will be a patient coming to the store for acupuncture tomorrow. Dongmei has to help grandpa here. I have to come back after the banquet."
Zhou Yiding said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, you will represent them if you go!"
While the two were talking, Zhou Huaian had already helped to move the scale out. Wang Zhen took out a small notebook and started weighing.
"65 jin of dried wormwood at 5 jiao per jin, 319 jin of dried wormwood at 36 jiao per jin, 95 jin of dried violet yedoensis at 5 jiao per jin, 73 jin of dried honeysuckle at 65 jiao per jin, 86 jin of dried dendrobium officinale at 12 yuan per jin."
Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding helped move the weighed herbs to the warehouse, and when they came out Wang Zhen had already done the math.
He handed him the bill and said, "I'll calculate it separately for you. The white wormwood, Viola yedoensis, and honeysuckle are 210.4 yuan, and the nightshade and dendrobium are 1064.5 yuan."
"Okay!" Zhou Huaian took the order and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. The money from the sales of these Polygonum multiflorum and Dendrobium officinale could pay the contract fees for many years.
Zhou Yiding was also happy for him, "Youngest brother, we can pick the flowers of the honeysuckle we planted and sell them for money next year. And the seeds of the Viola yedoensis can also be sold for money, right?"
Zhou Huaian pointed at Wang Zhen and said, "The knowledgeable doctor is here, and you are still asking me, a half-baked doctor!"
Zhou Yiding rolled his eyes at him and said, "Right, why am I asking a half-baked person like you?"
Wang Zhen looked at the two and smiled, "Yes! After collecting the seeds, you can dig them up and sell them for money. Not only herbs can be sold for money, but herbs like plantain, when your production increases, I can also help you sell herbal seeds, which are valuable."
"Really?" they asked with shining eyes.
Wang Zhen: "That's absolutely true! But it's not easy to collect herbal seeds. You collected them last year, so you should know that seeds of radix scutellariae and violet gentiana are smaller than sesame seeds. It takes a lot of effort to collect a pound of seeds."
Zhou Huaian: "That's right! We knew this when we harvested last year. Some seeds are difficult to dry after they are collected. They have to be covered with gauze, otherwise they will be blown away by the wind."
Zhou Yiding was shocked. "I have rough hands and feet. I can't do such delicate work!"
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "After tomorrow you will be a married man, and from now on I will call your daughter Chao Tian Jiao my wife!"
"Men from Sichuan still want to turn the tables and become masters after marriage. Ha! I think you should just forget it!" Zhou Yiding pointed at him, "You were too lazy to dry snakes for food before you got married, but you're more diligent than anyone else after you got married!"
Zhou Huaian: "That's different. In the past, I was always very active in earning money. But I just had bad luck and never found any good stuff!"
Zhou Yiding thought about it and agreed, "Yeah, I don't know why your luck was so bad back then, you really deserve to be cursed!"
Wang Zhen took out the money and gave it to Zhou Huaian. "I heard from Zhou San that the guy named Xiong Laoyao from your village and Doctor Fang from the pharmacy are planning to cooperate in collecting truffles?"
"That should be the case!" Zhou Huaian told him what happened. "After the mushrooms come out, they may also want to collect red mushrooms."
Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "This is inevitable. I will call and ask about the movements of the several bosses who cooperate with the Fang family."
Zhou Huaian was a little curious about the boss in the provincial capital, "Doctor Xiao Wang, where did Boss Zheng who is cooperating with us come from?"
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "They are from Guangdong Province. Their family has been doing business for generations. Even during those years, they never stopped."
Zhou Huaian: "Have we sold out the truffles we sent over?" He was thinking, is there any intention to cooperate with them in the second half of the year? He changed his words when he was about to speak.
Wang Zhen: "All the truffles sent to the provincial capital have been sold out. I heard that they are selling well. Boss Zheng called me the other day and wanted you to buy a large amount in the second half of the year."
Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding were very happy after hearing this. If there were large-scale acquisitions in the second half of the year, they wouldn't have to worry about it.
Wang Zhen continued, "As for red mushrooms, I think you should expand the scope of your purchase, not just the flower market. I've inquired about it, and the production of red mushrooms in the neighboring Yunnan Province is much greater than ours.
The consumption level there is lower than ours. If we go there to collect goods, the extra cost will reduce the purchase price and the cost will be reduced. "
"Okay! I'll go back and discuss it with Chunyan." Zhou Huaian felt that what he said was right. Yunnan Province was the kingdom of mushrooms, and the production of red mushrooms there was definitely much higher than here.
Wang Zhen nodded and said, "Brother Zhou, the first batch of fungus wine you made before the New Year should be half a year old, right?"
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian patted his head, "My second brother was saying the other day that the first batch has been ready for half a year. Chunyan asked me to come to the city to take a look, buy a few beautiful small wine jars and bring them back to you, and send them to the provincial capital to see!"
"Let me show you a jar!" Wang Zhen said as he entered the main room and took out a white porcelain wine jar. "This kind of jar can hold half a pound of wine. I have a box of twelve jars here. Fill them up with wine and bring them back tomorrow. I'll have someone send them to the provincial capital."
He didn't expect that the two of them had the same idea as him and understood that if they wanted to sell the truffle wine as medicinal wine, the medicinal wine had to be packaged into small bottles in order to sell it at a higher price.
Zhou Huaian looked at it over and over again and praised, "This wine jar is beautiful, it looks like a high-end product!" He remembered that Yang Chunyan said that it cannot be sold one jar at a time, but must be sold in separate packages to get a good price, "A jar like this should cost a few dimes each, right?"
Wang Zhen: "I mentioned to them that you made truffle wine, so they brought a box of wine cans and asked you to fill them and send them over. After they have seen the truffle wine, we will consider the wine cans."
Zhou Huaian nodded, "Okay! I'll fill it up and send it back to you when I get back."
"I'll bring the rest over for you to take back." Wang Zhen came out holding a cardboard box. "Would you like to go take a look at the construction site? It will be finished in more than half a month."
"With you here, we can just be a hands-off boss." The two said in unison.
"I've never met people like you two in my life." Wang Zhen said with a smile, "Brother Weiguo saw that I was in charge of your construction site, and he said that he would hand it over to me from now on."
He felt that the two men did not look like country people from the mountains at all, and their words and actions were more generous than many city people.
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "Those who are capable should do more work, so you should work harder! When you and my younger sister hold the wedding banquet and welcome the bride, I will give you the green light!"
"Okay!" Wang Zhen nodded at him with a smile, "You must remember this, or I'll complain to Sister Chunyan!"
"Don't worry!" Zhou Huaian said and laughed. (End of this chapter)
