But this made Xiao Cui very happy.
My eyes are shining as I look at this piece of Polygonum multiflorum.
"Oh my god, if that's the case, Sister Weiwei, you're right, this is all money!"
As she said that, she squatted down and wanted to pull it out, but Song Shiwei beside her quickly grabbed her hand.
"Hey hey hey~ Little ancestor, this is not the way to pick herbs! If you damage them, you won't be able to sell them for a good price!"
Xiao Cui quickly withdrew her hand, and with a chuckle, she smoothed the braid of hair behind her.
"I, I don't understand this, Sister Weiwei, do you know how to do it? Can you teach me?"
If these can really be sold for money, then there will be hope for curing my grandparents’ illness!
Maybe I can even have enough money to send Xiaojun to school!
The more Xiao Cui thought about it, the more excited she became.
The hands holding the braids were shaking slightly.
Song Shiwei squatted down with a shovel. She had dug Polygonum multiflorum when she participated in that program before. The botany professor also taught her many methods of identifying and collecting herbs.
It really comes in handy at this time.
While digging, she patiently explained to Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui was also studying very seriously.
I dared not be distracted at all, for fear of missing any step and ruining the herbs.
This piece of Polygonum multiflorum may not look big, but Song Shiwei and Xiao Cui spent a whole day digging it, and they only finished digging it when it was almost dark.
Looking at the large patch of Polygonum multiflorum that looked like sweet potatoes in front of her, Xiao Cui wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Sister Weiwei, is this Polygonum multiflorum? It looks a lot like a sweet potato! It's just a little darker!"
Song Shiwei also smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This shows that these Polygonum multiflorum are very old. Some of them are young and very small. For a wild Polygonum multiflorum this big, the price should not be too bad!"
Unfortunately, their backpacks were filled with wild vegetables and a pheasant. Xiao Cui thought about it and realized it was getting dark, so it would not be safe to stay any longer even on the outskirts of the mountain.
I said to Song Shiwei, "Sister Weiwei, let's go down the mountain! I'll go call Doctor Sun. He has a way to sell Chinese medicine. Just ask him for a price and sell it to him! Otherwise, it will be too difficult for us to carry it down alone!"
Song Shiwei nodded after listening.
"become!"
Indeed, these Polygonum multiflorum must have weighed several hundred kilograms! Carrying them down alone would have exhausted them to death. Besides, it was getting dark, and it was unsafe for them to stay on the mountain.
Although the price of products that are not sun-dried will be relatively cheaper, the price will not be much lower due to their age.
The most important thing is that it saves trouble.
By the time the two of them returned to the village carrying the baskets, it was almost five or six o'clock.
At this time, every household starts to prepare dinner.
Song Shiwei followed Xiao Cui straight to Doctor Sun's house. Doctor Sun happened to be sitting in the yard smoking a water pipe. He was a little surprised to see them coming.
"Xiao Cui? Why are you here? Did your grandparents finish their medicine?"
Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, my grandparents have finished their medicine, but I didn't come to you to get medicine this time, I came to you to sell medicine!"
"oh?"
Now, Sun Boan came to life and stood up from the rattan chair.
"What medicine is it? Show it to me! If it's genuine Chinese medicine, I promise to give you a good price!"
Song Shiwei had been sizing up Sun Boan in front of him since he entered the room. Seeing that he was indeed a real man and truly loved Xiao Cui, he finally felt relieved.
She was afraid that what if Doctor Sun was cunning and took advantage of Xiao Cui's trust and deceived her?
After all, those Polygonum multiflorum are money, at least worth a thousand yuan, so Song Shiwei had to be careful.
Xiao Cui took the basket off her back, reached in, and soon took out a Polygonum multiflorum that was slightly larger than an ordinary sweet potato and handed it to Sun Boan.
"Uncle Sun, do you recognize this Polygonum multiflorum? Would you like to take it?"
When Sun Bo'an saw such a large wild Polygonum multiflorum, his eyes widened instantly. When he heard Xiao Cui's words, his eyes unconsciously fell on Song Shiwei who was standing beside him.
"I suppose it was you, comrade, who taught her to recognize Polygonum multiflorum?"
Song Shiwei smiled and nodded at him: "Yes, Doctor Sun, take a look, what price can you give for wild Polygonum multiflorum of this age?"
Xiao Cui also looked at him expectantly.
Sun Boan picked up the handful of Polygonum multiflorum, which was too many to fit in one hand, looked at it from left to right, and examined it carefully for a minute before putting it down.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Polygonum multiflorum from fifty or sixty years old. It's truly rare to find it growing like this. But since this herb is freshly dug and not dried, I'll give you four yuan per pound. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Xiao Cui hurriedly looked at Song Shiwei. She could hardly conceal the excitement in her eyes, because they had dug up several hundred kilograms of this stuff today. If it was priced at four yuan per kilogram, it would be worth more than a thousand yuan!
What does this mean? Song Shiwei thought that for Xiao Cui in this era, it was probably like winning the lottery jackpot in modern times.
To be honest, Song Shiwei felt that the price was a bit low, but this was an island, and the location was very remote. Doctor Sun could only be considered a middleman. If he wanted to ship the goods out, he would have to pay for the transportation fee. Just transporting them by cargo ship was not cheap, so it was only natural for him to make some money from it.
If they were to sell them themselves, not only would transportation be troublesome, but they wouldn't necessarily be able to find anyone willing to buy these herbs, let alone get a good price!
So, under the gazes of Sun Boan and Xiao Cui, she smiled and nodded: "Deal!"
Just as Sun Boan was about to use the scale to weigh it happily, Song Shiwei stopped him and said, "Wait, Doctor Sun, we don't just sell this one."
Hearing her words, Sun Boan paused: "What do you mean?" His eyes were filled with excitement.
Do they still have Polygonum multiflorum of this quality?
He has plenty of places to sell this Polygonum multiflorum, and he can make a profit from it. If they have a few more, it means he can make even more.
Song Shiwei glanced at Xiao Cui, who immediately said excitedly, "We still have at least 200 to 300 kilograms! Doctor Sun, please come with us!"
"What??"
Now it was Sun Boan's turn to be completely dumbfounded!
Two or three hundred kilograms?! Polygonum multiflorum?! What kind of a concept is this?! That's all money!
No, no, no! The key point is, when did this Polygonum multiflorum become the same as cabbage? Can you dig hundreds of pounds at a time?
He couldn't hide his excitement and even threw away his pipe.
"Where is it? Come on, take me to see it!"
Song Shiwei held Xiao Cui and didn't move.
"Doctor Sun, let's make it clear. Did you collect all these Polygonum multiflorum? If you did, we'll take you to see them. If you didn't, these..."
Before she could finish her words, Sun Bo'an hurriedly said, "Take it, take it! I'll take as many as you can get! If the vintage is similar to this, I'll charge you four yuan per pound!"
Xiao Cui believed him, but Song Shiwei was not familiar with him after all, and was hesitating whether to ask him to sign a document first.
Then I heard a knock on the door.
"Hello, is this Doctor Sun's house?"
Hearing this voice, Song Shiwei's face suddenly showed surprise.
Hurry to open the door.
