Su Tian asked Gu Bai to move the medicinal herbs to a secluded corner. The old man driving the carriage saw this and, although he found it strange, he didn't say anything.
After they finished moving the items, the old man drove away.
Su Tian glanced around and, finding no one nearby, took out the letter of introduction and handed it to Gu Bai.
"Gu Bai, you go in and book two rooms first, I'll be there shortly."
"good."
After Gu Bai went inside, Su Tian cautiously looked around again. Once she was sure no one was there, she put all the medicinal herbs into her spatial storage.
All the medicinal herbs she grows in her space are high-end varieties, such as ginseng and lingzhi.
Even if you don't stock up on goods, running such a large pharmaceutical factory will still get you noticed.
After Gu Bai booked the room and put his luggage in the room, he walked out the door and saw Su Tian standing at the door.
"Gu Bai, let's go eat first, then we'll come back."
He glanced furtively at the corner where the goods had been stored, and it was empty.
Su Tian noticed his little gesture, but smiled and didn't say anything.
Gu Bai refrained from asking. His sister always had her reasons for doing things, and he shouldn't interfere by asking things he shouldn't.
"Gu Bai, is there anything you want to ask?" As the two walked down the street, Su Tian turned to look at him.
Gu Bai shook his head. After a moment of silence, Su Tian said, "You might find out later."
"Whether I know it or not doesn't matter; I don't care about this matter."
"Do you have anything you want to do in the future?"
Gu Bai looked at Su Tian, who had always been comforting him, and replied softly, "No, I just wanted to train myself by your side first."
"Alright, we're here. Let's go in and have some food."
After they finished eating, they returned to the guesthouse. Su Tian disliked the beds and quickly hid in her private space to sleep for the night.
The next morning, when they went downstairs, they found the old man from the day before already waiting at the guesthouse entrance.
"Uncle, so early! Have you had breakfast yet?"
The old man chuckled and said, "I've eaten."
"Sister, what would you like to eat?" Gu Bai suddenly asked her.
"Oh, you dare to yell at me this time? Just buy a few meat buns and steamed buns, and a few cups of soy milk if you have any."
"good."
After Gu Bai returned with the steamed buns, he gave the old man two meat buns and a cup of soy milk.
"No, don't try to give me something so valuable," the old man quickly refused.
"Uncle, take these. They're our treat. These buns don't cost much," Su Tian said, trying to persuade him.
"Okay, thank you."
After eating one steamed bun, the old man couldn't bear to eat any more.
He put the soy milk and steamed buns into a bag, waiting to take them home for his children.
After Su Tian and Gu Bai finished eating, they got on an oxcart and it took them an hour to reach the village the old man had mentioned.
“I’ll take you to the village chief’s house. I know him.”
"Thank you, sir."
Su Tian looked at the houses in the village; most of them were thatched huts, and brick houses were almost nowhere to be seen.
It seems that the villagers here live in rather difficult conditions.
When they arrived at the village chief's house, Su Tian and Gu Bai quickly got off the oxcart.
"This is it. Let me knock on the door for you."
He stood at the door and knocked two or three times, shouting loudly, "Brother Tang, are you home?"
"They're here."
"Hey, Brother Li, what brings you here? Oh, are these two your friends?"
"Hey, these two are my guests. They want to buy some medicinal herbs wholesale, so I recommended your village. You won't mind if I meddle, will you?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Village Chief Tang couldn't hide his smile. "Why should I blame you? I should be thanking you! Come in and sit down for a while, let's talk things over."
"Alright, young ladies and gentlemen, come in and sit down, hehe."
"good."
After Su Tian and the others entered the house, an auntie quickly poured several glasses of water and placed them on the table.
"Have some water first, then we can talk."
Su Tian picked up the bowl of water, smelled it, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, she took a sip or two.
"Are you two looking to buy the medicinal herbs from our village?" Village Chief Tang asked bluntly.
"Yes, what medicinal herbs do you have here? How is the quality?"
“We usually grow Panax notoginseng, Paris polyphylla, Dendrobium officinale, and Amomum tsao-ko. As for the quality, I have some at home, let me take them out and show them to you.”
Village Chief Tang went into the house and brought out some dried medicinal herbs.
As soon as the medicinal herbs were served, Su Tian could smell their aroma.
She could tell the quality of the medicinal herbs with just one glance.
"These medicinal herbs are processed very well. If the quality remains like this in the future, I'll give them to you at a price a little higher than the market price. Does your village have an oxcart?"
Village Chief Tang nodded. "Yes."
Su Tian continued, "You take the goods to the transport team in your town by oxcart, just tell them that Su's Pharmaceutical Factory sent you to transport the goods, and they will handle the rest."
"That's fine. How much do you need to buy?" Village Chief Tang asked Su Tian again.
"We'll take as many as you can get. Does your village have an account? I'll give you our phone number later. You can call our factory and tell them how many medicinal herbs you have."
After our factory transfers the money to your village's account and confirms receipt, you can then deliver the goods to the transportation team.
Village Chief Tang said excitedly, "Yes, our village has an account with the Rural Credit Cooperative. Your idea is great! This way, we won't have to worry about you running away, haha."
Everyone laughed after hearing his words.
"I'm doing this to put your minds at ease; we're all just trying to make a living."
"Are you the person in charge of the factory?"
"Yes, I'm the boss."
"No wonder, you have such a broad perspective, haha."
"You flatter me a bit. Is now a convenient time to collect medicinal herbs?"
"It's convenient. If you don't come to our village to collect it, the people in our village will take it to the town and sell it to pharmacies at a low price."
I'll go and inform the villagers now, and tell them to bring their medicinal herbs to my doorstep.
Before long, villagers began arriving at the village chief's house one after another, carrying their medicinal herbs.
"You all line up first, I'll go get the scale to weigh it. Xiaomin, you're the village accountant, you count it."
The villagers lined up in an orderly fashion, while Su Tian and Gu Bai checked the quality of the medicinal herbs.
Most of the medicinal herbs meet the requirements, but occasionally some may be slightly unsuitable due to improper drying.
Instead of lowering the price, Su Tian patiently explained the correct processing and drying methods to them, hoping they could process the herbs even better next time.
"All the medicinal herbs are here," Village Chief Tang said, panting.
"Okay, then I'll pay you the price we agreed on earlier."
After Gu Bai helped calculate the total price, it was the same as the price calculated by the village's experts.
Su Tian then took the money out of her bag, counted it, and handed it to the village chief.
The village chief was moved to tears, saying he had met a benefactor.
