After looking around, Zuo Ling chose a regular 4.2-meter van without refrigeration, as her driver's license only allowed her to drive vans of that size.
A refrigerator with cooling function would be nice, but she has an all-powerful cheat function, so she doesn't need any extra features.
Besides, who knows what it might be used to carry? Coal, sand, timber, various building materials, and so on. Using a refrigerated truck to carry all that stuff would surely break her heart.
Zuo Ling knew the principle that it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Even with a net worth of over 80 million, she was unwilling to spend money on things she shouldn't.
Handling fees, vehicle and vessel usage tax, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses add up to a little over 100,000 yuan.
I gave the salesman an extra 2,000 yuan to expedite the license and other paperwork.
The salesperson took the money and ran off quickly, finishing a two-hour task in just one and a half hours.
Zuo Ling happily drove her newly acquired belongings to the Chinese herbal medicine market.
She didn't know anything about Chinese herbal medicine, but after wandering around, she used her old experience to look for shops with signs indicating they were decades old, and then look for shops with large stock and neatly arranged goods.
Finally, we chose a shop that claimed to be an old, 40-year-old establishment, and the owner exuded the fragrance of medicine.
Zuo Ling got straight to the point:
"I want to buy 5 million worth of traditional Chinese medicine..."
I took out my phone and found a list of Chinese medicine names that I had just downloaded from the internet:
Ginseng, mustard tea, star anise, cloves, sword bean, notoginseng
Three-edged ginger, rhubarb, jujube, garlic, thistle, and galangal.
Ginger, yam, hawthorn, aconite, chuanxiong, horse mace, puffball
Asparagus, winter melon, corydalis, ginseng, papaya, wood ear fungus, costus root
Akebia stem, horsetail, bezoar, achyranthes root, cimicifuga rhizome, peony bark, salvia root.
Black leek, black herb, black tallow tree, black plum, leech, croton, Solomon's seal...
"Here, each type is 100 jin. I don't know if the money is enough. Please calculate it first. If it's not enough, reduce the amount of the less commonly used ones. If you have extra, do you have any Chinese medicinal herb seeds? You can use the Chinese medicinal herb seeds to make up the difference."
Most Chinese medicinal herbs are not worth much, and Zuo Ling estimated that 5 million should be enough.
This online directory of medicinal herbs contains 429 kinds; it should be sufficient for most common ailments.
The shop owner was overjoyed; he liked customers who were a bit clueless.
Then Zuo Ling said again, "I have a request..."
The shop owner has seen orders worth 5 million before, and he's seen orders much larger than this one.
Those orders mostly consisted of expensive medicinal herbs, unlike Zuo Ling's orders, which didn't specify anything and allowed for more flexibility.
"We'll try our best to meet the customer's requests," the shop owner said with a smile.
"Please speak."
"Let me take a picture of any of your treasured folk remedies or prescriptions. Don't worry, I don't want anything that's passed down in your family."
The shop owner chuckled and pulled out a USB drive:
"Young lady, we've prepared everything for you. There are over a thousand prescriptions. While we can't say they cure everything, they cover most common ailments. In addition to prescriptions, we also have recipes for making medicinal patches and pills."
Having been in the Chinese medicinal herb business for decades, how could they not have some expertise?
Occasionally, customers would make similar requests, and over time, the shop owner took note and accumulated quite a few prescriptions.
As a result, they gained many repeat customers, and the store's reputation improved.
Zuo Ling's eyes lit up. "Wow, the old lady is keeping up with the times! She's even using a USB drive now."
The shop owner not only provides USB flash drives, but also a mobile phone USB flash drive converter, making it easy for customers to view the contents of the USB flash drives directly.
Zuo Ling gives a thumbs up:
"You're amazing, always quick to help others in need. No wonder your business is doing so well."
The shop owner smiled reservedly:
"You flatter me. There are many tricks to doing business. Without a little effort, a business won't last long."
The shop owner helped Zuo Ling organize the list, removing items that could be bought at the market or supermarket, such as yam, black fungus, hawthorn, and dried ginger.
We added some rare medicines that weren't on the list.
The quantity of precious medicinal materials such as saffron, ginseng, deer antler, donkey-hide gelatin, seahorse, musk, gastrodia elata, shark fin, and cordyceps sinensis should be appropriately increased.
Including the medicinal herb seeds, the total cost was over 6 million yuan. The seeds included wild ginseng and cultivated ginseng seeds.
Zuo Ling was confident that with the space upgraded, she would definitely be able to start planting.
Hahaha... By then, she will have achieved ginseng freedom.
Zuo Ling didn't know how to use ginseng, but that didn't stop her from knowing that ginseng was a good thing.
Good things are always better in abundance.
The shop owner gave Zuo Ling a large glass jar of medicinal wine, weighing about 20 or 30 jin (10-15 kg), which was filled with various Chinese medicinal herbs.
It claims to have a host of health benefits, including removing dampness, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, and strengthening bones.
I heard that Zuo Ling had problems with her lumbar and cervical spine, so the shop owner gave her dozens of extra medicated patches.
Zuo Ling was so happy that she completely forgot that she had been tricked out of more than 1 million yuan by the shop owner.
The small truck couldn't carry all the goods at once, and the shop owner offered to deliver them, but Zuo Ling made an excuse to refuse.
They voluntarily jumped onto the vehicle and, together with the helpers, loaded it onto the vehicle, while secretly sending items into their personal space when no one was looking.
There was a huge pile of Chinese herbal medicine worth 6 million yuan. Everyone was in a hurry to finish loading the goods, and no one noticed that the herbs had disappeared into thin air.
Even with the spatial cheat device, Zuo Ling still circled the Chinese medicine market several times before sending all the medicinal herbs into her space.
He spent 7.67 million yuan on medicine, but still couldn't survive. It can only be said to be fate.
While circling the traditional Chinese medicine market, Zuo Ling noticed a grain and oil market next to the road.
I also went in and bought 2,000 jin of millet, 2,000 jin of buckwheat flour and 1,000 jin of buckwheat noodles.
Qinzhou millet and rifles were a perfect match, and they made great contributions to China's war effort.
Of course, we should buy more of this divine rice.
Buckwheat is known as an "anti-inflammatory food".
