90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

Yi Congxin smiled and nodded, "Brother Zheng, you're confident enough to bring this to the exchange meeting."

"It's more than just confidence. This thing can become my treasure! Don't even think about it, maybe I won't even be willing to take it out when the time comes!"

Zheng Donggen carefully took out a plant and looked at it from left to right. The leaves and stems were thick, and the golden threads were obviously beautiful. He was a little bit hesitant to believe it.

Normally, collecting one or two trees would be enough to keep him entertained for a whole day, but wow, this time he collected half a basket!

"How come you are so lucky that you can pick good things every time." Zheng Donggen couldn't let go of the golden thread vine.

It is better to smile from the heart without saying anything.

She already knew about those rare medicinal herbs, and in order to make money as quickly as possible, she would only pick those that could be sold at a high price.

However, the real "contributor" has to be the old man on the mountain.

The old man knows a lot of treasures!

He seemed to have a thorough understanding of the wild medicinal materials in the entire back mountain.

When picking herbs, she would pick wherever the old man pointed, and she would never miss a target.

In fact, she was also puzzled. The old man was usually in a daze, especially when he mentioned the name Ah Zhen. His eyes turned red and he looked like he was going crazy. But when he talked about Chinese medicine and medicinal herbs, he didn't act like a madman at all.

These times, before the old man told her where the herbs were, he would ask her to go through the routine "tell me how to use this herb, what new research findings have been made on that herb now", and most of the climbs he asked her to do were cliffs, so the herbs she dug out were absolutely rare.

The first one was Polygonatum sibiricum, followed by Coptis chinensis and Selaginella truncatula, also known as the herb of nine lives, the day before yesterday was the stone fairy peach, and yesterday it was seven-leafed lily.

What we dug up today is the extremely rare wild golden thread lotus, which has the reputation of "there is Cordyceps in the north and there is Golden thread lotus in the south". It is known as the "medicinal tiger" among the people.

However, in line with the idea of ​​not exhausting the resources, Yi Congxin only dug a small half basket during the picking times, leaving a large piece of each type.

She plans to select some healthy native medicinal herbs for "domestication and cultivation" when she has the opportunity in the future, and embark on the path of "simulated wild planting under the forest".

On the basis of ensuring quality and efficacy, making full use of the space under the forest to continue species is the right path to sustainable development.

However, this goal is still too far away, and she has to wait until she has sorted out the current things.

Yi Congxin helped Zheng Donggen to put the golden thread vine in the backyard.

In Zheng's backyard, several large steamers were all on fire, and several guys were busy preparing a batch of Polygonatum that had been recently harvested.

The batch of Polygonatum odoratum she sent a few days ago stood out from the crowd. It was still drying in the basket and could be recognized at a glance.

Yi Congxin looked at it for a while and frowned. "Brother Zheng, this batch of Polygonatum is ready. Are you planning to take it to the exchange meeting?"

She has become familiar with Zheng Donggen these days and is no longer so polite when speaking. She asks directly.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yi is smart and knows about medicinal materials. Not only are the medicinal materials she sent good, but she also has a hard time with Yan Ji. Zheng Donggen also treats her as half of his own.

"Of course. The basket you sent is the best merchandise to show off. Of course I have to take it." Zheng Donggen was busy weighing and calculating the price of the golden thread lotus, and responded without even raising his head.

Yi Congxin didn't say anything. He observed the details of the men making the medicine for a while, then turned to look at Zheng Donggen: "Brother Zheng, do you know what Yan Ji will bring to the exchange meeting?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Donggen stopped counting the RMB and winked at Yi Congxin.

It is better to understand it immediately from your heart.

The two walked to a secluded corner, and Zheng Donggen whispered a few words to Yi Congxin.

Yi Congxin was puzzled, and the corners of his lips straightened slowly, "Yan Ji... suddenly recruited a large number of employees?"

"Yes, isn't it strange?" Zheng Donggen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, for such a major event as the first "Herb Exchange Conference", which herbal medicine merchant would not bring out their best treasures and unique pharmaceutical skills in an attempt to make a name for themselves at the conference.

But the strange thing about Yan Ji is that not only is there no sign of collecting good herbs, but the newly recruited guys are not required to know anything about medicinal materials, they are only required to be strong and able to work overtime.

There's something weird everywhere.

Although Zheng Donggen did not agree to cooperate with Yi Congxin, it does not mean that he will not keep an eye on Yan Ji's various little actions.

Yi Congxin lowered his eyes, a chill in his eyes. After a pause, he said, "Something is indeed wrong. Brother Zheng, thank you for telling me. I will give you a big gift tomorrow."

"What are you thanking me for? There's no need for us to be polite." Zheng Donggen stuffed the counted money into Yi Congxin's hand.

Yicong had something on his mind, so he didn't stay long. He took the money and left Zhengji.

She walked towards the vegetable market.

The old man's asthma had improved significantly, and the sound of phlegm in his trachea had become much lighter. If you didn't listen carefully during the day, you could hardly hear it. But he was still a little weak, so she thought about buying some cooked food and bringing it up the mountain to nourish the old man.

Along the way, she was absorbed in thinking about how to investigate Yan Ji's strangeness, when she suddenly heard a joyful cry from the roadside: "Cong Xin! Cousin Cong Xin!"

Yi Congxin raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice, and immediately revealed a look of surprise: "Cousin!"

The person who called her was the original owner's cousin Hu Cuicui, who was only two years older than the original owner. The two had been close since childhood.

Hu Cuicui has been a straightforward person since she was young. The two of them haven't seen each other for three or four years since she married and moved to a village a few mountains away. It was so exciting that they met by chance on the street.

At first, Hu Cuicui thought she had called the wrong person, but after looking carefully, she was sure.

After not seeing her for a few years, Cousin Congxin has become even more beautiful. Her blue coarse cloth clothes have been washed to the point of gray, but her little appearance is really rare to see in the surrounding villages.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Yi Congxin smiled and walked quickly to Hu Cuicui.

Hu Cuicui took her hand and squatted on the side of the road. In front of her was a pile of dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

"Your cousin's husband has just retired from the army. The spring rice harvest is over, and he's thinking of taking advantage of the slack season to come to the city and do some odd jobs to earn some money. I'll be joining him here to sell some mountain products."

Nanming Province has "eight mountains, one river and one piece of land", and hilly and mountainous areas account for 80% of the province's area. The people in the mountains rely on the mountains for their livelihood and are used to being hardworking. When there is no farm work, most of the enterprising people will go out of the mountains to seek a livelihood.

Yi Congxin hadn't seen his cousin for several years, and the two had a lot to talk about. Soon at noon, a slender man was seen walking towards them.

"Your cousin-in-law is back." Hu Cuicui stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Her husband's name is Chen Feng. He was originally a scout in the army and returned to the mountains after retiring.

Yi Congxin rarely encountered relatives who were kind to the original owner, and she was reluctant to leave immediately. She had just made some money. "Cousin, cousin-in-law, it's a rare opportunity to meet you today. Let's have lunch together at noon."
