Chapter 20 Second Screening



Xu Shang was also overjoyed and started purchasing the medicinal materials with the pharmacy owner.

Soon, all the herbs were put away, and the pharmacy owner took out a thick stack of money from the safe and said, "I've just calculated it, it's 8792 yuan. Here is 8800 yuan. Please count it."

Xu Shang counted the money and checked its authenticity. After confirming that there was no problem, he thanked the herbal medicine owner. Then Xu Shang received a system notification congratulating him for earning RMB and gaining 300 achievement points:

"There are still 300 achievement points!"

Xu Shang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, earning a large sum of money and getting achievement points, this was really a double happiness.

When he came outside, he saw Zhang Daniu and Jiang Xiaotiao waiting and said:

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a great meal!"

It was the same restaurant as last time. Jiang Xiaotiao hesitated after taking the menu this time. He said to Xu Shang, "Brother Xu Shang, how about we order less this time?"

Xu Shang remembered the last time he wasted food and nodded.

Zhang Daniu was still a little reserved. He couldn't help but say, "Brother Xu, we don't need to go to a restaurant. I brought some pancakes. Otherwise, we can just have a few bites."

Xu Shang said quickly, "Brother Danniu, you are here to help me with my work! It is not reasonable for a boss not to be responsible for the meals of his employees, so just eat without worry!"

After a few dishes were served, Zhang Daniu, who had been restrained at first, gradually revealed his brutal nature. In a short while, he cleared three plates and finished three bowls of rice, leaving Xu Shang dumbfounded.

He thought he was a big eater before his rebirth, but he didn't expect that in front of Zhang Daniu, he was just a kindergarten eater.

Seeing that Zhang Daniu was still unsatisfied, Xu Shang quickly added two more dishes.

Zhang Daniu smiled at Xu Shang somewhat embarrassedly, and concentrated on eating. After a while, he ate two more bowls of rice and finished all the dishes. Even the soup was not wasted and he used it to soak the rice.

Even the restaurant owner, after seeing Zhang Daniu finish five bowls of rice, couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his free rice business strategy.

“I’m full!”

Zhang Daniu patted his belly with a satisfied expression, but Xu Shang inexplicably felt that Zhang Daniu still had some energy left.

"When you're full, go home!"

Xu Shang also figured out what to do with the money.

Of this money, more than 1,000 yuan was his capital for collecting medicine, and more than 1,000 yuan was the money he owed to the villagers. The rest was his own earnings, part of which was earned from collecting medicine himself, but the majority was the additional profit from processing the medicine.

With this money, the snack stand matter can be put on the agenda immediately.

Just when Xu Shang was planning his future business empire, the program crew was turned away by a pharmacy.

"We don't accept any interviews! Please leave!"

Faced with the pharmacy's stern rejection, the director and his team had no good solution. Thinking that Xu Shang would be returning soon, it seemed not a good idea to stay here for too long.

But at this moment, one of the production staff came up with a good idea: "Director! We don't necessarily have to interview this store!"

"What's the meaning?"

"There are so many pharmacies here, so there must be a medicinal material market. We can investigate the purchase price of medicinal materials and get a rough idea of how much Xu Shang sold them for. We can also know whether Xu Shang cheated or not!"

"That makes sense! We don't have much time, let's go now!"

Soon, after interviewing several drug dealers who were willing to disclose their prices, they made a significant discovery.

"The price of windproof here is only 12 yuan per kilogram. Even the better quality ones are only 15 or 18 yuan per kilogram. Xu Shang actually charges 15 yuan per kilogram, which is twice the market price! My goodness, is Xu Shang doing charity?"

"Even if it's dry goods, the weight of the herbs will drop a lot after being dehydrated, so there's no possibility of making a profit."

The director's face darkened, and he said calmly, "It seems that the result is already obvious. Xu Shang must have taken advantage of our unpreparedness to withdraw money from the bank last time. Although we didn't see him withdraw money this time, maybe it's because he withdrew enough money last time!"

"Then let's edit it into a film based on this result."

Everyone accepted this result. Not being familiar with medicinal materials, they apparently did not realize that the main types of fangfeng on the market were artificially grown rather than wild, and that the two were not priced at all.

Two days later, the second season of Metamorphosis, Urban-Rural Exchange, welcomed its third and fourth episodes.

The first person to appear is Gao Xiaolong, the protagonist of the city.

Gao Xiaolong was greatly shocked by Xu's father's wealth. In the shopping malls in big cities, Xu's father and mother bought Gao Xiaolong clothes that cost hundreds of yuan a piece, shoes that cost hundreds of yuan a pair, and also took Gao Xiaolong to a high-end buffet worth hundreds of yuan.

Gao Xiaolong soon felt lost in the hustle and bustle of the city, and even learned to play games on Xu's personal computer.

But soon, Gao Xiaolong became sober again. He began to be interested in the Xu family's collection of books. Reading the books that Xu's father bought purely for decoration, Gao Xiaolong's heart seemed to return to peace again.

Such scenes make many viewers very happy. On the one hand, they want to see children from poor rural areas being shocked by city life, but on the other hand, they don't want to see them lose their original intentions. Gao Xiaolong perfectly meets their expectations of a rural protagonist.

Next, the city’s protagonist Xu Shang will be played.
