The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"I have been in Wutong Town for decades. Although I am proficient in the art of medicine, I dare not boast that I can be compared with the masters of medicine. I am afraid that I cannot fully research and verify the new herbs on my own. I am worried that there will be omissions or mistakes. So I went to the capital city specially. With the help of Master Jin, I found several famous doctors in the capital city to study the properties of Baixiang herbs with me, and compare them with herbs with similar properties."

"Hahaha! I competed with the golden wound medicine, hemostatic ointment, and pain-relieving powder developed by several masters. I won the whole competition by sheer luck. I couldn't help laughing for a while with my hands on my hips."

The Lin family listened, and considering what Master Jin had just said, they guessed that the old doctor did more than just smile for a moment with his hands on his hips.

It must have made people very angry.

Otherwise, could he just say that he doesn't want to see him again for the next few years?

"I keep my word. I said that day that I would negotiate the price once the medicinal properties and safety of Baixiang grass were confirmed. I came here today to negotiate the price with you. I will give you thirty-five coins for one pound of fresh Baixiang grass. Baixiang grass is worth this price, but if it is higher, I can't afford it. If fresh herbs are to be preserved, they need to be reprocessed, which I need to do myself. Besides, my Sifang Pharmacy does business with the people, so the price should not be too high."

Fang Zheng practices medicine with a doctor's pride and integrity.

Benevolence, integrity.

That's why he treats the Lin family differently. The Lin family's family tradition is very upright and appeals to him.

Therefore, even if the Lin family may not understand the true value of Baixiangcao, he would not deceive them against his conscience.

For poor people, it is not easy just to survive.

The Lin family was still thinking about how the old doctor had made such a madman, but the next moment they were stunned by the thirty-five cents per pound.

Thirty-five cents per pound!

Zhang Cui'e couldn't hold it in any longer and rushed out from the kitchen, "Mom, are you selling it? Are you selling it? Thirty-five cents a pound!"

She is just an ordinary person, without any broad vision or great knowledge. The herbs she grows at home can be sold for thirty-five cents. What is there to hesitate about at this price?

I got my money back! I got a lot back!

Mrs. Lin did not scold her daughter-in-law for not knowing the rules. The family never set any rules. If you have something to say, just say it. Why hold it back?

If it weren't for her age, she would have jumped up like Cui'e.

"Dashan, Erhe, Jiang'er, you decide." She looked at her three sons and gave them the decision-making power.

The three brothers looked at each other and laughed, "Sell it! It's settled!"

The old doctor directly raised the price by almost double, which shows his sincerity.

As for whether it was a loss or not, the brothers didn't even think about it.

They felt satisfied as long as they earned enough money to support their families.

Fang Zheng stroked his long beard, a smile spreading through his eyes, "Okay, it's settled."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the corners of the yard again. "At first, I thought you were picking herbs in the mountains. When I came to your house, I found that I might have been wrong. You actually planted the Hundred-phase Grass yourself?"

Lin Jiang nodded, "Yes. I got a packet of medicinal seeds by chance, and I tried to grow them myself. I usually pick them in the yard to make tea, and I also have two acres of medicinal fields at the foot of the mountain."

“Two acres of land?!” Even though the old doctor was a bit shy, he was so surprised that he sat up straight, his eyes shining brightly, “Okay, okay! I’ll take it all!”

The three brothers of the Lin family smiled at each other again, "Old doctor, we plan to sell one acre of land first, and continue to plant the other acre. Because this is the first time to plant it, we want to see if the medicinal effect of the Hundred-Angled Grass will be better if it is planted in the field for a longer time."

Even if it was just one acre of land, it was much more than the old doctor had initially estimated. He was disappointed for only a moment. “Can you take me to the medicinal land to have a look?”

"Of course." Lin Dashan was the eldest son in the family. He would take the lead in such occasions. He stood up and led the two guests to the back mountain. "The medicinal field is not far from my home. It only takes a few steps to get there. When we come back later, we can have tea."

While the old doctor was negotiating with the Lin family, Jin Qianlai did not interrupt at all and was quiet, as if he was just there to keep them company.

This time as they followed him to the back mountain, his eyes moved slightly, and he deliberately lagged behind by two steps, staying beside Lin Jiang.

"Little brother of the Lin family, did you plant those two acres of medicinal land yourself?" he asked with a smile in a casual tone.

Lin Jiang did not dare to neglect the distinguished guest and nodded in response, "I planted it myself. My eldest and second brothers helped a lot, and my sister-in-law also supported me."

"Brothers are united and the family is harmonious, that's great." Jin Qianlai looked at the impatient figure in front of him, retracted his gaze, and lowered his voice, "This time when Mr. Fang went to the capital, I was fortunate enough to get some Baixiang Tea from him. I was amazed after drinking it. So when I learned that Mr. Fang was going to your house to discuss the purchase of medicinal herbs, I came with him to take a look."

He paused for a moment, and said in a bewitching tone, "The herb is indeed excellent. One mu of medicinal land can produce about 100 kilograms of herbs. I, Jin, would like to make a deal with you. Can you sell half of these 100 kilograms of herbs to me? Don't worry, I'm fair in doing business with money, and I will never let your family suffer a loss. Mr. Fang offered 35 wen per kilogram, and I'll offer 40 wen. As long as you are willing to sell, I can even increase the price. To be honest, my family mainly deals in tea, and we want to bake the herb into tea for sale. If you are willing to do this business, I will buy the fresh herb at the 40 wen I just mentioned, or you can bake it and give me 180 wen per kilogram of tea!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Lin Jiang's face, and he did not miss any subtle expression on the other person's face.

However, the Lin family kid just smiled politely, showing no signs of excitement or joy at all.

"Mr. Jin, we are from the Linjia family. We don't know how to beat around the bush, but we do know one thing: we should keep our word. Since we have already made an agreement with Mr. Fang, we will only sell the herbs in the field to him. It is human nature to want to make more money, but a gentleman loves money and earns it in a proper way, so we can only reject Mr. Jin's kindness. Otherwise, if the news gets out, not to mention whether outsiders will despise our family's behavior, my parents will have to break the legs of the three of us brothers first."

Money came for a moment.

The group just happened to reach the medicinal field.

The Lin family's two acres of dry land is right next to the mountain road. At first glance, it looks like green waves. The sedge is swaying happily in the morning breeze. The rising sun shines from afar, casting tiny rays of light on the dew on the grass leaves.

The air is filled with the unique light fragrance of the herb, and being in it makes you feel relaxed and happy.

"Well done, boys of the Lin family. You have grown these angelica sinensis very well." The old doctor could not move his legs after squatting on the ground. His eyes were glued to the thriving angelica sinensis plants and he was reluctant to move them away.

What I saw before my eyes was fresher than the herb I had seen in the pharmacy that day, and it made me feel the vibrant vitality hidden in its tiny leaves.

The most commendable thing is that this vital energy can be transferred to the human body, bringing great benefits to people.

That day, the little girl from the Lin family glared at him and said that Baixiangcao was more useful than ginseng slices, and it was not an exaggeration.

The medicinal value of baicalensis is definitely not lower than that of ginseng, and may even be higher!
