After hearing their companions talk about how delicious leek dumplings were, the villagers all joined in the rush to buy them.
Soon, the chive dumplings were sold out.
People who arrived later heard their fellow villagers describing the leek dumplings in astonished tones and expressions, and couldn't help saying that they were exaggerating too much. However, as more and more people who had eaten it said that it was not an exaggeration at all and that it was true, they couldn't help but yearn for the delicacy they had missed.
For a time, the legend of the magical leek dumplings made by the city kids spread throughout Tianya Village.
A director shared the same mood as these villagers.
After hearing his companions repeatedly mention the taste of leek dumplings, he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to say it. After all, he was the one who refused it... At this time, he could only look at Xu Shang with a resentful look.
"Director, can we use this segment to highlight Xu Shang's transformation for the better?"
The director nodded secretly after hearing the planner's words. Indeed, the delicious food plus the self-reliance in making money by selling snacks could bring a lot of goodwill to people, but he had different ideas.
"The issue of Xu Shang cheating has not been resolved yet. We must show the true face of this matter to the audience in this episode. If we only show Xu Shang's good side now, the audience will definitely say that our crew took money and deliberately whitewashed Xu Shang!"
Everyone nodded, what the director said made sense.
And the opportunity to expose Xu Shang soon arrived.
Xu Shang, who was trying his hand at his new profession, immediately strengthened his belief after seeing the enthusiastic response to the profession of snack chef and decided to start a new career right away.
But when he was about to implement it, Xu Shang immediately discovered the problem.
Obviously, selling snacks in Tianya Village is not suitable. There are too few people in Tianya Village, and everyone is very poor. Even if there is extra income from selling medicine recently, people are still not willing to spend money.
With such a small scale, if you want to support a snack stand, maybe you can earn a few dozen yuan a day to make a living, but it cannot fully achieve Xu Shang’s goal.
He planned to make a lot of money and build a big, bright house for Grandma Sang.
Xu Shang thought about it. Generally speaking, there is another way to sell snacks in the countryside, which is to sell them in several villages. But this idea is not realistic, because Tianya Village is too remote, and the nearest place with people living is seven or eight miles away.
In this case, it seems that the only option is to set up a stall in the town.
If you want to set up a stall in the town, you either have to rent a house in the town or have a car.
You don't need a van or something like that. A small tricycle is enough to meet all of Xu Shang's requirements. In the future, such electric tricycles are basically equipped by any business, but in this era, electric tricycles are relatively rare. They are basically refueled, and the fuel consumption is not high. Now the oil price is not high. Buy one and modify it, and it will be a very good mobile stall.
So here comes the question.
No money!
A small tricycle costs at least three to four thousand yuan. If the labor cost of modification is added, it will be even more expensive.
Xu Shang could only suppress this thought for the time being and concentrate on collecting herbs and making money.
It seemed like it was like when it rains it pours, the money he had earned from collecting medicine was almost used up.
Xu Shang then discussed with the villagers and decided to stop collecting herbs and deal with the stock first. Unexpectedly, this move was opposed by the villagers, as everyone was afraid that the herbs they had collected with great difficulty would not be sold.
It was only after Village Chief Jiang came out and made the final decision that the discussion ended with the record keeping.
Of course, some people were worried that Xu Shang would not pay back his debts. It was not until someone said, "If he can't pay it back, let him sell leek boxes to make money to pay it back" that everyone showed satisfied expressions.
The corner of Xu Shang's mouth twitched slightly, and he wondered how much trust you guys have in Jiucai Pie.
Soon, Xu Shang set out to the city to sell medicine.
Because there were more medicines this time, Village Chief Jiang specially arranged for a villager to go with Xu Shang.
The man who went with Xu Shang was named Zhang Daniu, about thirty years old, and didn't look very smart. He had a big mouth full of white teeth when he grinned, and gave people the impression that he was very honest and simple.
Xu Shang knew Zhang Daniu in his previous life. In his impression, Zhang Daniu was one of the few people who still lived in Tianya Village after it was ruined. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the village guardian. Although Zhang Daniu was not very smart, he was very strong and worked very hard. However, he was often cheated by some people. They often paid him only 40 or 50 yuan a day when they promised him 80 yuan a day.
Fortunately, Zhang Daniu found a partner and later had two lovely daughters. His eldest daughter was a student of Xu Shang when he was teaching in rural areas.
With Zhang Daniu's help, carrying Xu Shang's medicinal herbs was completely easy.
Jiang Xiaotiao also volunteered to carry the small bamboo basket with Xu Shang. Xu Shang was very touched by this. After all, the last time Jiang Xiaotiao took a car, he vomited all over the place.
This time, Xu Shang did not try to dump the program crew on purpose. After all, it was not that easy to dump them, and he also wanted to show the audience what his real self was like.
When he came to the drugstore again, the drugstore owner looked up and saw Xu Shang. He pinched his goatee, nodded, and invited Xu Shang to the reception room at the back.
After opening the medicinal herbs in Xu Shang's backpack, the pharmacy owner looked at Xu Shang in surprise.
The quality of the medicinal materials this time was even better than last time, the preparation craftsmanship was even more sophisticated, and they were carefully classified according to different qualities, which completely saved him a lot of effort.
Even if you go to the nearby herbal medicine market to place an order, not many can provide as good service as Xu Shang.
All this is naturally due to Xu Shang's improved herbal farmer level. His current herbal farmer level has reached level 6.
Xu Shang basically chose the talent for medicinal material processing as his upgrade reward without thinking. Now both the quality rate and processing efficiency have improved significantly.
"Not bad! Very good!"
The pharmacy owner nodded at Xu Shang and said, "If I purchase a certain amount of medicinal materials from you regularly every year, can you guarantee it?"
Xu Shang thought about it, then shook his head regretfully and said, "Although there are a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountains, if we keep collecting them like that, both the quantity and quality will definitely decline. So we only collect herbs for a few months each year to ensure the quality."
After hearing what Xu Shang said, the pharmacy owner became even more satisfied.
Wild medicinal herbs are not as good as cultivated ones, and fishing out the pond is a destruction of medicinal resources. This is also the reason why the prices of wild medicinal herbs have been rising in recent years, while the quality has declined.
Xu Shangcun was relieved to see this realization, so he waved his hand and said:
"I will buy this batch of medicinal herbs you sent me at a price 30% higher than the market average price!"
