Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Before the meal started, people came again to buy medicinal herbs. Zhao Hu, the person who was receiving them, was unsure so he called Qin Ying over.

The people who came were a master and servant. The young master was in his early twenties and the servant was around thirty years old. Both had very kind faces.

The host took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Sun Chen. I am passing by here. My grandmother has an old illness and I need some medicinal herbs urgently, but I can't find them in a hurry.

"I originally wanted to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but I stumbled upon a medicinal field. After some inquiries, I learned that someone in your house understands pharmacology.

"I wonder if you could give me these herbs? The money is easy to negotiate."

He took a packet of silver from the servant and held it out with both hands, "If it's not enough, I'll make up for it later."

Zhou Yu heard the noise from next door and came over. He looked Sun Chen up and down, then suddenly asked, "Is your grandfather the old Mr. Sun who used to be the judge of the Imperial Hospital?"

Sun Chen was already busy sizing up Zhou Yu. He was horrified and bowed deeply, "It's Prince Zhou! I didn't know you were here, and I didn't even pay you a visit. I deserve death!"

Zhou Yu smiled softly, "Mr. Sun, you're too polite! There's no such thing as a prince here! I'm the chief official of Qin County."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Sun Chen said that his family was originally passing through here on their way back to their hometown. Unexpectedly, his grandmother fell ill again on the way, and the medicine she had prescribed before had been used up, but there were no herbs available here.

Zhou Yu sighed. "The Black Mountain area has suffered a drought that hasn't been seen in a century. It's lasted for over four years, and everything needs to be rebuilt. I'm afraid the few medicines available in the pharmacy are selling for exorbitant prices."

Sun Chen nodded. That was indeed the case, so when he saw the medicinal herbs Qin Ying drying in the yard, he felt like he had found a treasure.

Seeing that they were old acquaintances and that they were seeking medicine for their loved ones, Qin Ying offered to give them all as a gift.

Sun Chen quickly waved his hand: "These herbs are not easy to collect, how can I take them for free? Please accept them, otherwise I will be ashamed!"

Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "Miss Qin, if you have other medicinal herbs, you can take them out and show them to Master Sun.

"Mr. Sun is a master in the medical field, and Young Master Sun is a young phoenix with a clearer voice than an old phoenix. They are connoisseurs of the goods."

Sun Chen hurriedly said a few humble words.

Qin Ying had actually collected quite a few medicinal herbs, and asked Zhao Hu to help move them out. Among them was a ginseng, but it was not very big.

Sun Chen was very happy. He took out a silver note from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Hu with both hands, saying, "If you have other medicinal herbs in your house, we will also take them. We will not let you suffer a loss in terms of price."

Zhou Yu took advantage of the situation and said, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay here for a while. The drought is over and the local customs and people are quite good.

"The old lady can take a good rest and recuperate now. It won't be too late to continue the journey next spring when the weather warms up.

"If you can't find a suitable place to live, I can help."

"Well..." Sun Chen hesitated, "I can't make the decision on such matters. I have to go back and ask my grandfather first."

Zhou Yu nodded, "Then I'll send someone to take you down the mountain. It's getting late and the mountain road is difficult to walk on..."

After Zhou Yu sent the people away, Zhao Hu stared blankly at the banknote in his hand, "Sister, one... one hundred taels? Our medicinal herbs are so valuable?"

It’s not like I haven’t sold medicinal herbs before, but I’ve never charged so much money!

Qin Ying sighed: "Eighty percent of the time they gave more because of Mr. Zhou..."

She didn't understand the social etiquette of other people, but if she wanted to use her family to establish a relationship with Lord Zhou, she was probably making a wrong calculation.

"Huzi, after dinner, you can give the banknotes to Lord Zhou. It's up to Lord Zhou to decide how to deal with them..."

"What about my own business?" Zhou Yu walked back and happened to only hear the last part of the conversation.

Qin Ying then expressed her concerns in a tactful way.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Miss Qin, you're worrying too much! You don't know how scarce these good medicines are nowadays!"

"It can be said that there is no market for it! Especially your wild ginseng, although it is not very old, the quality is very good.

"Mr. Sun just said that they haven't encountered any good medicine since they entered the Black Mountain area, especially the ones that are processed very well like you.

“For a doctor, without medicinal materials, even if he has medical skills, he can only sigh in despair.

"Your herbs have solved their urgent problem, and I am willing to give you any amount of silver.

“I have nothing to do with this.

"My family was originally considered a wealthy and idle family in the capital, so no one would come to us to make connections.

"I have only met this Mr. Sun once, but I met his grandfather when I was treating an elder in my family.

“There is no conflict of interest between them.

"But Mr. Sun is a master doctor, and it's also true that this Mr. Sun has inherited his true skills. If Qin County can keep them, it will be a blessing for our local people. That's why I chatted with him for a while."

He explained it in such detail that Qin Ying felt a little embarrassed.

Zhao Hu shook the banknote in his hand and said, "Master Zhou, then... shall we accept this?"

"Okay, that's it!" Zhou Yu nodded. "You've been tired all day, let's go and have dinner!" After that, he went back to his yard.

At the dinner table, Zhao Hu excitedly told about how he had sold medicinal herbs for a lot of money.

The whole family was very happy, and Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian were looking forward to going up the mountain tomorrow.

Because everyone returned with a full load after going up the mountain every day, the atmosphere in Tongshu Village was very lively. Later on, everyone even thought about keeping enough for themselves and selling the rest for money.

Uncle Chen Jiu came to discuss with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "These mountain products can be sold for quite a bit of money, but it's not cost-effective to sell them directly. Why don't you just deal with them first?

"For example, dried fruits are fried first and divided into different flavors, and persimmons are made into persimmon cakes.

“Even if you don’t fry all the dried fruits, it’s best to grind them into powder so that you can buy them and make cakes directly.

"Don't worry about sales, I'll have someone take care of it."

Uncle Chen Jiu hurriedly thanked him, then rubbed his hands sheepishly and said, "As for the reward... we probably can't give you much."

"That's nothing," Zhou Yu smiled nonchalantly, "When you hunt game in the mountains in the future, just give me some."

Uncle Chen Jiu knew that he owed Zhou Yu a favor, and if he had been able to find a reliable sales channel, he would not have come here with such a thick face.

After leaving Zhou Yu's place, Uncle Chen Jiu went directly to the Zhao family and said to Qin Ying, "Yingzi, Master Jiu has something to ask of you."

Qin Ying was startled: "Master Jiu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, there's no need to bother asking for anything!"

"That's right," Aunt Zhao also said, "Uncle Jiu, how can a young person like her be so responsible?"

Uncle Chen Jiu chuckled a few times and said, "Yingzi is the best needleworker in our village. I have two good leathers lying around. It's getting cold, so I'd like to ask Yingzi to make me two dresses."
