Although not many people go to the county town to inquire about drug prices, there are still quite a few.

Except for a few villagers who looked confused, most of them actually nodded.

Many of them did not go to the county town to inquire, but they went to the homes of those who had gone to the county town to inquire.

Those villagers who had no idea about this wanted to go up and question the villagers when they saw them nodding.

They are all from the same village, even from the same clan or family, but they didn't even inform them.

It's too much!

No matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, this time, this moment, this place, and this scene are not suitable to argue with them.

"Do you think I'm making a lot of money by buying your herbs at one cent per pound and selling them to the clinic at three cents per pound?" Lin Shiyu asked with narrowed eyes.

Half of the people at the scene shook their heads, and half nodded.

"Heh!" Lin Shiyu chuckled when she saw their expressions.

When the villagers who were close to her heard her laughter, they instantly got goosebumps and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Come on, let me settle the bill for you." As she said this, she sat down on a chair, as if she was going to have a long talk.

"One penny is the price of fresh herbs. Three pennies is the price of dried herbs. How much do you think is left after one pound of fresh herbs is dried?"

It takes five pounds of fresh herbs to produce about three pounds of hay, which can be sold for nine cents. After deducting the cost of giving it to the villagers, you can still make four cents.

Some of the villagers suddenly realized that they had never really figured out the difference between dry and wet.

"I don't know about herbs, but I usually like to dry vegetables to eat. Tender vegetables weigh about half a pound after drying, and older vegetables weigh about six ounces after drying. I think herbs should be about the same!"

An old lady stood up and said that it was spring in their place all year round and there were so many fresh vegetables that they could not finish eating them all. Apart from those who loved dried vegetables, few people would go and dry them.

"That's about right." Lin Shiyu changed her position and gave an affirmative answer.

The villagers gathered together and thought about it. In this way, the money earned by the young doctor's family was basically cut in half, and they felt relieved instantly.

But it’s still a lot more than them!

They went out to pick fruits under the scorching sun and rain and only earned so little, while the young master and his family just sat at home and easily earned more than them, so they still felt unhappy.

This is the idea of ​​a small number of people. The rest of the villagers didn’t think so much. After all, even if they earned a little more, it was earned by others’ own ability and they couldn’t be envied.

Looking at the expressions of those people, Lin Shiyu knew what they were thinking without having to guess:

"One pound of fresh herbs can have five or six ounces of dried herbs, which is a very good premise. In fact, there are not so many. Why?"

The villagers shook their heads.

"Because there is loss. For example, if you don't pick the herbs properly and they are damaged, or if the herbs are not old enough, these have to be picked out. Not to mention that many people don't pick them carefully and a lot of grass gets mixed in. If these are picked out, there will only be eight or nine ounces left out of a pound of herbs."

She will check the herbs before weighing them. If there are too many weeds mixed in, she will not take them in. If there are only a small amount, she will take them in.

The villagers continued to think about it, and this way the young master's family would earn even less money.

Why do I feel a little happy?

"In addition, the entrance fee to the county town is another expense. Most people in the village have never been to the city. Let me explain here that the fees for individuals to go to the city and for transporting goods to the city are different."

No one really knew about this, not even those who secretly went to the county town to inquire about the price of medicine. They didn't take anything when they went there, they just paid their personal entry fee to the city.

"Do you think this is the end? No, not yet." The more Lin Shiyu spoke, the more she felt that she had lost a lot. "In addition to these expenses, we also need to build a good relationship with the owner and apprentices of the clinic. Isn't it reasonable to treat them to dinner occasionally? This is another large expense."

Lin Shiyu's face looked a little grim. Even though it was hard to see clearly in the dark, her bad mood could not be stopped by the darkness and was transmitted directly to the villagers.

"If we calculate this way, there won't be much left for us."

She sighed in her heart. Although what she said was a little exaggerated, it was not far from the truth. If she calculated it this way, if she simply made money based on this, it would be a long way to go to get rich.

After all, this is not the case a few months ago, when they were penniless and would do anything as long as there was income, no matter how much or how little.

Things are different now. Her debts have been paid off and she has a high income from ointments and oils. She no longer cares about the little money she can make from purchasing and picking herbs. Compared with this, it is both mentally and physically tiring, and she has to deal with all the troubles at hand.

To sum up, should she stop being a middleman?

Silence is unsettling.

Sometimes the sixth sense is not something that only women have. Under special circumstances, everyone will have this vague feeling.

For example, right now, the villagers have this strange feeling.

Inexplicably panicked.

That was the premonition that the coins were about to fly away from me.

The thought of whether to terminate it or not appeared for a moment before Lin Shiyu suppressed it.

Although it doesn’t make money, there are other benefits besides not making money, right?

"This doesn't even include our family's labor costs. Ask yourselves, is the money our Lin family earns a loss?"

In fact, while Lin Shiyu was speaking, the surrounding villagers had already started calculating in their hearts. They didn’t know why, but after the calculation, they found that they seemed to earn more money than Dr. Lin’s family!

This result should have made them happy, but they couldn't seem to be happy at the moment. They had a feeling that if Dr. Lin really earned too little, they might not have this source of income in the future.

When it comes to their own interests, their brains are a little smarter than usual.

As soon as this idea came out, people became anxious.

But no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't be more anxious than Lin Shiyu's desire to go home and have a meal. She just pressed her hand to stop the villagers from saying anything and said:

"If my father hadn't said that the villagers had helped him prepare for the exam, our Lin family would never have told anyone about this opportunity to make money."

Lin Anru has already paid back all the money he borrowed back then.

The money has been paid off, but the favor has not been paid off yet!

"Everyone has made a lot of money during this period of time. My father has almost repaid the favor he owes you. Let's put the purchase of herbs on hold for now!"

Her words caused an uproar. What could she do if her guess came true?

"Little Doctor..."
