Chapter 197: Take Whatever You Have



Chapter 197: Take Whatever You Have

Doctor Xu seemed to know what she was thinking, and continued, "These wolfberries are easily damaged. If they are collected raw, after such a bumpy ride, I'm afraid there will be only a few intact ones left, and the medicinal effect will be lost."

Cheng Yue thought to herself, no wonder! Then she asked, "Doctor Xu, may I ask, does Wanhetang collect any other medicinal herbs?"

Doctor Xu was puzzled when he heard this: "Do you know any other medicinal herbs?"

He thought that Cheng Yue had just discovered this medicinal herb by accident, but he didn't expect her to ask about other medicinal herbs. It seemed that she knew quite a few!

But I regretted it after asking. Isn't this looking down on me?

When he was treating Chen An, they were still in the village. Cheng Yue was wearing tattered clothes, but she changed into new clothes in a short time and her temperament changed drastically.

This is a capable person. Isn't it normal that he knows some medicinal herbs?

Cheng Yue didn't care, she just smiled and said, "I don't know many people, I just heard about it from others."

Doctor Xu realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he stopped asking questions and just said, "As long as it's medicinal materials, we'll take them, but the prices are different."

Common medicinal materials are available in large quantities in the fields, so they are naturally cheap. Rare medicinal materials are not available to everyone, so they are naturally more valuable.

Chen Tong summoned up the courage to ask, "Doctor Xu, do you want to collect the Xanthium sibiricum?"

Cheng Yue laughed. Chen Tong must be getting angry with Xanthium...

Doctor Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Of course I will buy it. However, Xanthium sibiricum is easy to get and the price is not high. It costs three cents per pound when dried."

The sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning looked at each other in bewilderment. Did they hear it right? Even the annoying Ci Niuniu could be charged three cents per pound?

How much money did they throw away?

Chen Ning blinked and then asked, "Doctor Xu, what about the mother-in-law Ding?"

Doctor Xu loved children. He touched Chen Ning's head and said patiently, "We also accept motherwort. It's five cents a pound. You have to do it!"

Chen Ning looked at Cheng Yue and then at Chen Tong, feeling a little bitter. Five cents a pound, if she had known earlier she would not have eaten them as wild vegetables, it would have been much better to sell them for money!

Doctor Xu has already seen that they know a lot of medicinal herbs. Although they are all common ones, Wanhetang has several branches. No matter whether they are common or rare, they can all be used. The pharmacy will not think that there are too many herbs.

Finally, he emphasized, "No matter what kind of herbs they are, just bring them to me when you find them. I'll take as many as you can get! I guarantee the price will be fair!"

With Doctor Xu's words, Cheng Yue felt relieved, "Thank you, Doctor Xu!"

Although we collect as much as we can, medicinal herbs are not weeds that can be picked endlessly on the roadside. Moreover, the weather changes from hot to cold throughout the year, so they are not available every month.

Common does not mean found everywhere.

If you want to make money, you have to plant a large amount and plant relatively high-value medicinal herbs.

Cheng Yue put the matter to heart, said hello to Doctor Xu, and took Chen Tong and Chen Ning home first.

It was already noon when we got home. Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei had already prepared the meal. Cheng Yue was not at home today, so they still made a pot of stew.

Qian Yulan shouted towards the door: "Sister Cheng Yue, you are finally back, come and have dinner!"

Cheng Yue smiled and replied, "Okay! I'll be right there!"

There is a hot meal to eat when I get home. How can I be so happy?

Especially when the yard is full of people and it’s lively, the food tastes even better.

"Here, give it to me, you take the child to eat first."

Chen An urged, stepped forward, took the reins, led the cow to the cowshed and tied it up.

Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei served the food to their mothers and said embarrassedly, "Sister Cheng Yue, you are not here today, and we don't know what to cook, so we had to make another pot of stew."

There were a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden, many of which they didn't recognize and didn't know how to cook, so they only picked eggplants and beans.

Fortunately, Cheng Yue left a lot of pork, so anything she cooked tasted delicious. Otherwise, with their skills, they really wouldn’t be able to make any great dishes.

Cheng Yue took a bite of the food and said vaguely, "This is delicious too!"

After stewing for a long time, the eggplant and beans are very soft and glutinous, and she likes this taste.

Cheng Yue ate with relish, and Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei were happy too, "That's good, that's good!"

Cheng Yue swallowed the food in her mouth and continued, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave the cooking to you. You can do whatever you want. Don't worry about me. As long as everyone eats well, that's all."

"Okay, we understand!" The two responded with a smile. Cheng Yue trusted them, and they were happy.

Anyway, there are vegetables and meat, so they can do whatever they want.

The reason they couldn't cook freely before was because they wanted to taste Cheng Yue's cooking skills and were afraid that Cheng Yue would not like the food they cooked.

But since Cheng Yue said so, they couldn't be shy.

After everyone finished their meal, Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei cleaned the stove and were ready to go down the mountain.

Seeing that a lot of vegetables had grown in the vegetable garden, Cheng Yue called the two of them over and picked a lot of vegetables for them to take back. Considering that they had never eaten them before, she also kindly told them how to cook the vegetables.

Qian Yulan and Wang Chunmei probably forgot, so they kept talking about it all the way and even reminded Feng when they returned.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet. Chen Tong and Chen Ning quickly came up to Chen An and chirped, "Dad, guess how much a pound of wolfberry costs?"

"And the thorny thorn can also be exchanged for money, and the same goes for the dandelion!"

"Dad, guess how much these can be sold for?"

They couldn't hold it in any longer. If there weren't so many people in the yard, they would have wanted to show off to their father as soon as they came back.

Chen An was very cooperative. After thinking for a while, he said, "I guess wolfberries are ten cents a pound! As for the prickly ash and motherwort, they are at most two cents a pound, right?"

The two sisters laughed, "Dad's guess was wrong, keep guessing!"

Chen An pretended to think, then shook his head and said, "It's too difficult. Dad can't guess it. Tell me quickly, how much is it?"

Chen Tong pointed out: "Wolfberries are thirty cents a pound!"

Chen Ning straightened her body and raised her little face, "Po Po Ding is five cents a pound, and even Ci Niuniu can be sold for three cents!"

Chen An opened his mouth wide in surprise, "So valuable! If I just pick some little tong and little ning, won't I have endless money to spend?"

The two sisters were so happy that their eyes were curved. They said, "Doctor Xu said that as long as it is a medicinal herb, we will take it. We must try to learn more about medicinal herbs!"

That way, even if the business fails in the future, they can still make their parents live a good life by collecting herbs!

After the two sisters finished talking, they took out a big book and started studying it. Although they didn't recognize the words in it, the pictures allowed them to know what the medicinal herbs looked like.

Chen An's face turned red when he saw this enthusiasm. As a father, he was not as enthusiastic as his children.

Cheng Yue smiled, ignored the two children, and continued to talk to Chen An: "I want to talk to the villagers about collecting herbs."

Anyway, they are all common medicinal herbs and are not worth much money. They may not care much about it, but it is indeed a considerable income for the villagers.

They are getting richer and richer now, and the gap between them and the villagers is too big, which is not good for them.

Besides, they are all naturally grown medicinal herbs, so who cares if they pick them?

The villagers were all nice to them and taught them how to identify several medicinal herbs as a way of repaying them.
