Xu Shang’s idea was indeed confirmed.
The next day, more people came to Xu Shang to sell herbs, but the average sales volume was much less. Some people even sold small seedlings, which Xu Shang sternly refused to accept.
As for whether he lets others sell the big ones or sells them on his behalf, Xu Shang has no control over it. What he wants to make clear is his attitude of not accepting young seedlings.
The villagers took the young seedlings to the grocery store and found that the purchase price was only 2.5 yuan. Naturally, they were not happy. They thought that if they had known earlier, they might as well dig them up next year and sell them for several times the price.
Selling medicine does not take up much time, so Xu Shang simply decided to collect the medicine in the afternoon, so that he could prepare the medicinal materials at the same time. In the morning, he would go and catch some leeches and centipedes himself.
Xu Shang also felt that making money from medicinal herbs could only be cyclical.
It was like he was trying to catch centipedes. Centipedes like to live in dark, warm, rain-proof, well-ventilated places, so there were actually a lot of them in the mud houses in the village at the beginning, but after he caught most of them, if he wanted to catch centipedes now, he either had to move stones or dig the soil, which was much less efficient.
Of course, the herbal farmer's knowledge told him that if it was after rain, the centipedes would crawl out due to the vibration of the rain hitting the ground, humidity and other reasons, and it would be much easier to catch them, but all in all, the efficiency would definitely not be as good as before.
Even if Xu Shang's herbal farmer level was upgraded, it would not change this.
If you think about it carefully, medicinal herbs have a growth cycle, and this kind of work that depends on the weather is not something that can be done every day. Even ginseng collectors only set out at fixed seasons every year.
Perhaps, he can only collect medicinal materials at certain times, just like during the fishing ban period. At other times, he can develop other careers.
For example, the new profession 'snack chef' is currently lying in Xu Shang's profession column and has not yet played its value.
Xu Shang suddenly had an idea. The purchase of medicinal materials had just been put on track. He could now try out his new career to see if it was useful.
Xu Shang then borrowed a frying pan from Jiang Xiaotiao's home, and picked a handful of onions, two gingers, and a batch of fresh green leeks from Grandma Sang's vegetable garden. After processing them a little, he chopped the meat into minced meat.
The relevant seasoning recipes and cooking methods naturally emerged in my mind.
What he wants to make is leek boxes.
Jiang Xiaotiao also came to join in the fun. He looked at Xu Shang with wide eyes and felt unbelievable again.
You know, cooking is also a natural skill that children from the mountains have to learn out of necessity, but even so, Jiang Xiaotiao can only make simple fried rice and noodles.
After all, being a chef is a craft, and it is an intermediate profession recognized even by the system.
Making pasta was still a bit mysterious to Jiang Xiaotiao, so when he saw Xu Shang kneading, rolling and shaping the dough skillfully, he felt very incredible.
Brother Xu Shang is a city guy!
After finishing all this, Xu Shang placed the pan on a stone and placed it outside. Because of a previous criminal record, Jiang Xiaotiao volunteered to light the fire.
Xu Shang thought about Grandma Sang's house and chose to entrust this glorious task to Comrade Xiao Tiao.
Xu Shang himself started to wrap the chive dumplings skillfully.
The production crew who were filming all this from a distance were also stunned. They had never imagined that Xu Shang had such a skill.
“I can’t tell!”
"He can actually make chive dumplings."
“I can’t do it!”
"Except for his extravagant spending, cheating on TV shows, and internet addiction, Xu Shang still gives people a very good impression."
"The Xu Shang family has been poor before, so it's not surprising that they can make this. They can make it, but whether it can be eaten is uncertain!"
Everyone gave their final verdict on Xu Shang, and at the same time they began to prepare lunch.
It is difficult to enjoy things like boxed lunches in the village. The road from Tianya Village to the town is not very good, and the lunch boxes nowadays are all made of foam and are not sealed. When they are delivered, the soup is often spilled everywhere and it is not acceptable to look at them.
It was still okay at night, I could drive to a restaurant in town and have a good meal, but at noon, I had to make do with whatever I had.
The production crew basically dealt with it casually, sometimes they just had instant noodles, and other times they just had dried noodles.
Today is the day to eat noodles, with some fresh cabbage bought from the village and an egg for each person. This is actually better than what many people in Tianya Village eat.
But today, they were destined to be disappointed with their lunch.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!"
“The taste of meat!”
Someone from the program crew sniffed the meat aroma in the air, and the egg noodles in his hand suddenly lost their fragrance.
A person nearby explained, "The villagers thought Xu Shang was a sucker and sold a lot of medicinal herbs. With the money they made, they improved their food and it wouldn't be surprising if they stewed some meat or something."
"But this smell is so fragrant, how can it drift so far!"
As everyone was talking, someone suddenly noticed something and pointed at the frying pan not far away: "No! The smell is coming from there!"
Xu Shang was turning over his leek dumplings. The surface of the dumplings was already slightly browned. The fat from the diced meat inside gradually melted and seeped into the surface of the dumplings. Under the action of the Maillard reaction, an enticing aroma wafted out.
Xu Shang nodded secretly. The blue-level profession was indeed powerful!
Unlike picking herbs, the experience points gained from the profession of snack chef are related to the dishes made. When the first leek box was ready, Xu Shang saw a beautiful "Experience +10".
Xu Shang quickly put it on the plate next to him. Jiang Xiaotiao, who was in charge of making the fire, was already drooling at the sight of it. He stretched out his hand and wanted to grab it, but Xu Shang slapped his hand away: "You are not afraid of the heat, wait until it cools down before taking it!"
"oh oh!"
Jiang Xiaotiao nodded repeatedly, but his eyes were fixed on the leek box.
"Gurgle!"
Xu Shang heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and scolded Jiang Xiaotiao with a smile:
"Are you really that greedy?"
Jiang Xiaotiao felt aggrieved: "It's not me!"
Xu Shang was stunned. He turned around and saw that it was Yamei standing next to him. She was holding a few herbs in her hands, but her mind, spirit and soul were all on the delicious leek dumplings.
"Do you want to eat?" Xu Shang asked Yamei.
"Yeah!" Yamei nodded her head heavily.
After the chive dumplings were almost cool, Xu Shang wrapped one in paper and handed it to Yamei.
Jiang Xiaotiao, who was standing by, had a face full of complaints. Why wasn't I the first person to eat? Brother Xu Shang, who was the one who always stayed by your side and never left you? How could you do this to me...
It was not until Xu Shang stuffed another leek box into his hand that he threw away his resentful expression and smiled like a monkey's butt.
Jiang Xiaotiao and Yamei picked up the chive dumplings almost at the same time and took a bite, their eyes lighting up.
So delicious!
