Xu Dehui smiled like an old fox, not showing any sign of needing ginseng. He only asked, "What kind of cooperation do you mean?"
"Your pharmacy wants to collect medicinal materials, right? I will apply for a credit union and then sign a cooperation agreement with you. Our credit union will be responsible for the medicinal materials in your store." Zhao Zhaocai smiled as if he was in control of the overall situation.
Xu Dehui nodded after hearing this: "If it's not impossible, as long as you can apply for the credit union, I can only cooperate with you. We usually accept Gastrodia elata, Poria cocos, Astragalus, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Angelica sinensis."
"What about the price? How much do you charge?" Ms. Deng asked anxiously while standing aside.
Xu Dehui glanced at Ms. Deng unhappily, but said in a good-tempered manner, "Gastrodia elata is 50 yuan per catty, Angelica sinensis is 5 yuan per catty, Rehmannia glutinosa is 2.5 yuan per catty, Astragalus membranaceus is 1.5 yuan per catty, and Poria cocos is 1 yuan per catty. Our store has the highest prices on this street."
When Ms. Deng heard that she could earn 50 yuan per pound of Tianma, and that Dingxi didn't have to pay for it, she was immediately happy. She said with a cheerful smile, "Hahaha... Boss, we will take good care of it and will definitely not pass off inferior goods as good ones. So, can we put our handprints on it first?"
Xu Dehui looked down on him in his heart, but he said to the apprentice without showing it, "Go to the counter and get some paper and pen so we can put our fingerprints on it." He then looked at Zhao Zhaocai and asked, "When will it take for you to start a credit union?"
"In about a week, I will bring the herbs with me. How many of these do you want?" Zhao Zhaocai asked.
Xu Dehui made a lot of money, so of course he didn't mind having too much. Besides, they couldn't dig up as many herbs as they wanted. He smiled and said, "We'll give you as many as you can get. Our Dehuitang is the largest pharmacy in the county."
"Okay, then I won't be polite. I will definitely make you satisfied then." When Zhao Zhaocai came into the pharmacy, he also saw Bai Shanxiang opposite him, so he also agreed with Xu Dehui's words.
The main reason is that Bai Shanxiang still owns the old house, and all the money has been spent on medical equipment and indoor facilities. Anyway, the house will not collapse.
Dehuitang is a newly built house, but the medical equipment in the house is old. Therefore, local people in the county are more willing to go to Baishanxiang.
After Zhao Zhaocai and Xu Dehui agreed to sign and seal their agreement, they left the pharmacy with Ms. Deng. Zhao Zhaocai suggested, "Mom, it's already noon. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner! Anyway, we can make a lot of money in the future."
After hearing what her beloved son said, Ms. Deng immediately laughed happily: "Hahaha... Yes! As long as we can dig ten kilograms of Gastrodia elata a day, we will have five hundred yuan... Woo..."
After hearing what Ms. Deng said, Zhao Zhaocai immediately covered her mouth. After looking around to make sure it was safe, he said to Ms. Deng: "Mom, make a fortune in silence. You are so ostentatious, what if we get caught?"
After hearing this, Ms. Deng covered her mouth in fear. This was 1973, and doing business was considered speculation and profiteering, and people would be arrested. She whispered, "Okay, let's go back and tell them. If we are discovered, we won't be arrested for speculation and profiteering, will we?"
"No, we are more in number. They can't possibly arrest us all!" Zhao Zhaocai said to Ms. Deng calmly, and quickly pulled Ms. Deng away.

In the afternoon, Goudan and Zeng Wenjuan woke up.
"Mom, I'm thirsty..." Goudan said to Zeng Wenjuan, feeling a little thirsty. Maybe he had eaten too many sweets in the morning, and his throat was a little hoarse.
After hearing this, Zeng Wenjuan immediately got dressed and got up. She said gently, "Goudan, wait a minute! I'll make you a cup of milk powder." Then she put on her shoes and got out of bed.
She poured a bowl of water from the warm earthenware pot, scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder from the milk powder, stirred it with chopsticks, and carefully carried the bowl to the bedside: "Come, sit up and mother will feed you."
"Ah! So fragrant... so delicious." Goudan took a sip and exclaimed with satisfaction. He felt that this was the best thing in the world. The temperature was just right, and Goudan picked up the bowl and drank the milk powder in one gulp.
"If you like it, drink it! It's all yours. From now on, mom will give you three bowls a day, one bowl each morning, noon and evening." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile on her face. Parents always want to leave the delicious food for their own children.
But children will also feel sorry for their parents. After hearing Zeng Wenjuan's words, Goudan sat on the bed and said anxiously: "Mom will eat too, Grandpa... buy some." It seems that he took Chen Yitang's words to heart.
Zeng Wenjuan nodded: "Okay, don't worry! I'll make myself a cup of drink later. Put on your clothes and come down. I'll teach you how to write later."
"Okay." Goudan agreed obediently with a puffy face. Zeng Wenjuan also went to make herself a cup of milk powder. It smelled very fragrant and made people want to drink it. But after taking a sip, she said: "This milk powder is quite ordinary, not as delicious as Goudan said!"
Zeng Wenjuan swallowed the milk powder in one gulp and went to wash the bowl. Goudan also dressed and came out, and the mother and son sat in the yard to learn to write and recognize words.
Seeing that Goudan was learning seriously, Zeng Wenjuan took out the Chinese herbal medicine book that Chen Yitang gave her when he left and opened it to learn more about the herbs.
This book of medicinal materials was written by Chen Yitang himself when Zeng Wenjuan was born. There is only one copy, and no other copies are available. The content is detailed and contains Chen Yitang's annotations, so people can understand the general idea at a glance.
