The happy little days of the Ye family

Herbal medicines are very familiar. If you can collect a batch of fresh herbs and cook them yourself, the price difference should be quite a lot.

Tang Xiaojing enthusiastically said to Li Orion: "Uncle Li, I have worked as a clerk in a pharmacy in the county for several years. Next time I will introduce you to the shopkeeper Wang of the pharmacy. The pharmacy has long been selling herbal medicine, especially for cold weather." , medicinal materials for fever are in very short supply.”

Li Orion was very happy. There was little arable land in the mountains, and many people in the village would collect herbs to exchange for money to buy food. However, the herbs that people in the village knew were limited, and they were all ordinary herbs. If they could establish a relationship with the pharmacy, the village would benefit from it in the future. There is no need to worry about selling the herbs inside.

"Thank you very much, nephew. Our mountain village has very little cultivated land. Apart from hunting, we rely on collecting herbs in exchange for some food. However, the people in the village only know some common herbs, which cannot be sold at high prices. Sometimes they don't accept them. If It would be great if my nephew could introduce me to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy."

Tang Xiaojing thought of a good idea. People in Dashan Village didn't know enough about herbal medicine. He could teach them. He would collect fresh medicinal materials from Dashan Village and prepare them.

"The boy learned how to prepare medicinal materials in the pharmacy. Uncle Li can go back and tell the people in the village. If you come across medicinal materials that you don't know how to prepare, you can bring them to me. I will collect fresh medicinal materials here."

Li Lihu was overjoyed. Dashan Village was surrounded by rolling mountains. There were many medicinal herbs on the mountains, many of which were valuable.

However, the herbs must be processed immediately after being picked, otherwise the efficacy will be affected. People in the village do not know the more complicated processing techniques. It would be great if Tang Xiaojing was willing to collect fresh herbs.

Tang Xiao added: "Dashan Village is surrounded by mountains. There must be a lot of medicinal herbs in the surrounding mountains. I can help teach the people in the village how to identify the medicinal herbs."

"Many medicinal materials need special preservation after being picked. I can also teach the people in the village how to preserve the medicinal herbs. I will take back the fresh herbs picked in the village and process them myself."

Li Orion happily patted Tang Xiaojing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My nephew is worthy of being Brother Ye's son-in-law. His mind is just as smart. This is really the best of both worlds. But I can't promise you right now. I'll talk to you first when I go back in the evening." Let’s discuss it with the village chief.”

Tang Xiaojing was not in a hurry and said cheerfully: "Yes, we really need to communicate with the village chief and people in the village first."

Li Orion is an outspoken person, "My nephew wants to go to the mountain village to collect medicinal materials, right?"

Tang Xiaojing: "To be honest with Uncle Li, I do have this plan, and I would like to ask Uncle Li to help guide the way."

"This is a simple matter. Tomorrow I will go to the county to sell medicinal materials. I can take you to the mountain village the day after tomorrow. The matter of collecting fresh herbs can also be discussed with the village."

"Uncle Li, I have also prepared some medicinal materials during this period, and I just want to take them to the pharmacy to sell them. How about we go together and introduce you to Shopkeeper Wang."

Li Orion quickly responded, "Okay, okay, then we'll wait at the county gate tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaojing first sent the two puppies to the Ye family, and then came to the county gate with a large bag of prepared herbs.

At this time, Li Orion had already been waiting at the county gate. Tang Xiaojing took Li Orion to the pharmacy where he worked as a waiter.

On the way, Li Lihu said that the village had held a meeting last night to discuss and ask Tang Xiaojing to teach the villagers how to identify medicinal materials and how to preserve them. All the medicinal materials picked by the villagers were left to Tang Xiaojing to collect.

Tang Xiaojing: "Everyone can prepare common herbal medicines by themselves as before. I will also teach you some simple preparation methods."

"I am only one person, and there are too many medicinal materials that I can't concoct. I will discuss with my uncles in the village which medicinal materials can be collected later."

Li Orion was even happier now. After all, they took the prepared medicinal materials to the drug store and sold them at a higher price.

After the two sold out the medicinal materials, Tang Xiaojing asked shopkeeper Wang which large quantities of herbs were needed in the pharmacy recently. Tang Xiaojing helped Li Orion buy a few plants as samples, and explained to Li Orion one by one how to prepare them.

Li Orion thanked Tang Xiaojing repeatedly and made an appointment to go to the mountain village to collect medicinal materials tomorrow.

To go to Shanli Village, you have to climb several mountains, and you can't use an ox cart. Tang Xiaojing got up when the sky was still gray.

Tang Xiaojing cooked a pot of thicker sweet potato porridge, and then fried some corn tortillas. Tang Xiaojin had just finished breakfast, and Tang Shan had already gotten up.

The two had breakfast, and Tang Xiaojing packed the corn pancakes to save for lunch.

Shanli Village is located deep in the mountains. Tang Xiaojing wants to go to Shanli Village with 30 taels of silver to collect medicinal materials. Tang Shan is not at ease and wants to go with Tang Xiaojing.

Originally, Tang Xiaojing thought he could do it without having to go with Tangshan, but he didn't have enough money and had to borrow money from Tangshan.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves and could only agree to go to Shanli Village with Tangshan. Moreover, Tang Xiaojing didn't know the road. Without Tangshan's guidance, he didn't know the way to Dashan Village.

You cannot go to Shanli Village by ox cart from Dashan Village. You have to climb several mountains to get to Shanli Village.

Dashan Village can be regarded as the outskirts of the mountains, while Shanli Village is really deep in the mountains.

The trees around the three of them became more lush as they walked. Tang Xiaojing also heard the howling of wolves from the mountains not far away. Tang Xiaojing said he was not afraid and followed Tangshan closely along the way.

There were sparsely populated barren mountains along the way, with pheasants and hares escaping from time to time. However, there were ferocious beasts deep in the mountains, and the three of them did not dare to stop hunting for fear that their blood would attract the ferocious beasts.

Tang Xiaojing came across many herbs on the road. He ignored the ordinary herbs and only picked out a few valuable herbs and dug them out with the soil.

The physical strength of the Tang family father and son was much better than Ye's father. Previously, Li Orion and Ye's father had to push and pull for two hours to reach Shanli Village. This time, they arrived in less than an hour and a half.

Before entering the village, Li Orion reminded the Tang family and his son: "The people in the mountain village are quite xenophobic, and the people there are very skilled. I heard that they even hunt tigers and bears. When you enter the village, try to keep a low profile and don't start any conflicts. The business will not be successful." Benevolence and righteousness are there.”

Tang Xiaojing suddenly became energetic, "Has anyone in the village ever killed a tiger? Is there any tiger bone wine or tiger whip wine? A wealthy businessman came to the pharmacy to buy it for 100 taels, but it's a pity that the pharmacy doesn't have it."

"I heard that someone shot a tiger a few years ago, but I don't know if it's true. I can find out later."

Li Orion was already very familiar with Shanli Village, and he took the Tang family and his son to the village chief's house.

The village chief was a little surprised when he saw Orion Li. Didn't he just come over to collect the skin?

"Village chief, this is Brother Tangshan, and this is Jing Xiaozi. The father and son want to collect medicinal materials from Shanli Village."

"Hello, village chief, I have been working as a clerk in a pharmacy for several years. I heard that our mountain village has many medicinal materials, and I would like to collect a batch of them, whether they are prepared or fresh."
