Chapter 37 Selling Kudzu
Pomegranate felt as if she had witnessed the rush to harvest again. Every family member, including the elderly and children, all set out to go up the mountain like a beehive.
The villagers who didn’t know the details were dumbfounded. Is there any treasure on this mountain? Why are they all running up the mountain in groups?
Some villagers were still wondering, while others rolled their eyes and followed wisely.
Pomegranate didn't care about the others anymore. She called Li Rongyu and Li Ronzhang and ran up the mountain, then plunged into the woods and slopes. There was only one thing in her mind, that was Dig kudzu, dig dig!
When the village chief got the news, he arranged for his own tribe first, and after a period of time, he notified other people in the village. As a result, the whole village of Xiahe Village was mobilized, and people could be seen everywhere on the back mountain. The scene was amazing. What a blast.
When there are more people, the kudzu roots on several hills seem to be gone. The villagers are coming and going, even visiting the nooks and crannies that they didn’t often go to in the past. But after a long time, there is no kudzu root None were found.
Fortunately, the Li clan members were the first to come, and even those with the worst luck were able to dig out one. Only people from the village came.
When it got dark, some people even dug three or four roots.
Other families in the village also returned without success and were so angry that they were beating their chests and thinking about going up the mountain before dawn tomorrow.
Lao Li's family didn't even bother to eat today, and the harvest was pretty good all afternoon. Mrs. Wu immediately sent someone to send a message to her son, and then took her two daughters up the mountain to dig, and dug out a root. Later, when Li Rongsong and his two brothers came back, they helped dig another one.
The third and fourth houses also dug two roots each.
Then, before dawn the next day, there was movement in the whole Xiahe Village, and the mountains behind were full of people running around, and they kept running around all day long.
In this way, after three days, even the family with the smallest harvest in the village still has three or four.
And Lao Li’s family has gained even more.
In this way, Father Li should have been happy, but instead he was angry.
There is no other reason. Originally, the clan leader had spoken in advance, telling the clan members who were helping to build houses to continue building the houses and not to go up the mountain, and none of the clan members who were helping did not listen.
But the owner, Lao San Lao Si, took the lead and put down the pick, picked up the hoe and went up the mountain!
Your master is not here, so how can the helping clan members continue to do their job? Then didn’t everyone run up the mountain with him in the end?
In the end, only the second child was still busy building a house as always.
Father Li just waited for his son to come back that evening and said it was urgent to build a house as soon as possible, but what did his son say? He said that he was not in a hurry for the house, but the money would not wait for him! We went up the mountain for three or four days in a row!
In other words, the house has been suspended for a few days!
Originally, the progress of the third and fourth children was much slower than that of the second child, but now it is even better. The second child’s house is almost half-finished, and the third and fourth children have just finished it! Father Li's heart ached when he thought about it.
But things are like this, how can I be angry? I can only think that I dug a lot of kudzu roots and can sell them for a sum of money.
Following the digging of kudzu, the village was extremely lively again, and it was the selling of kudzu. It was almost like transporting tax grains into the city. The whole village's strong labor force was dispatched, carrying kudzu in groups. Entered the big set.
When Ding Fuguang arrived at the door of Datong Warehouse, he was almost frightened to death by the waiter inside, "Shopkeeper, there are many people outside!" When Ding Fuguang heard this, he wondered if someone was here to cause trouble. He thought to himself: Recently, he and Pan, the shopkeeper of Fuyun Building, had some disagreements over the matter of harvesting wild game. How could it be that this old man Pan was so angry that he had people come to destroy his place?
“Hurry up and see what’s going on!”
The guy went out quickly and came back again, “Shopkeeper, they are all here to sell medicinal materials. Yes, we’re looking for the drug dealer Mr. Chang! He’s not looking for us!”
Selling medicinal materials?
Ding Fuguang became interested as soon as he heard this. This medicine dealer Chang came from Daming Prefecture. He had been in their Dayun Prefecture for a few months. He went around and collected a lot of medicinal materials. Recently, he stayed in their warehouse and just waited. These medicinal materials are arriving one after another and are ready to be shipped back.
I haven’t heard what other medicinal materials they want to collect? Why did so many people suddenly come and want to sell medicinal materials?
Ding Fuguang always had to be aware of the bustle that was going on under his nose. Therefore, he immediately left the counter and went out to see it with his own eyes.
When I took a look in the yard, I saw that people in the yard were busy weighing herbs. It was very lively!
I heard that the root-like thing was the herbal medicine Kudzu. Ding Fuguang was also curious. How could so many villagers know that the roots were herbal medicine and dig them up to sell them?
With this in mind, Ding Fuguang went deep into the villagers to talk.
The villagers in Xiahe Village couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they saw that he was wearing fine silk, looking like a steward, but talking to them in a good voice. Naturally, he asked and answered questions.
After a while, Ding Fuguang figured it out.
It turned out that they were from Xiahe Village. There was a girl in the village who heard that they collected game at Datong Warehouse and caught bamboo rats to sell. She also heard that they collected medicinal materials here, which were the roots of the kudzu vines on the mountain. , told them, no, the whole village dug it.
Ding Fuguang's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of interest, is this the girl Pomegranate? But this girl is here to sell bamboo rats. When did she ever hear that they collect medicinal materials here? You obviously haven't talked to Chang Pharmacist, so how do you know that the kudzu root on the mountain is kudzu root?
After the villagers sold the kudzu root one after another, got the money and left happily, Ding Fuguang approached Chang Pharmacist and said, "Brother Chang, how did these villagers know that you collected this kudzu root?"< br>
Chang Pharmacist thought that one of them was the person who bought Pueraria lobata a few days ago and later came to sell Pueraria lobata. He couldn’t help but smile and tell the story of that day, and also said that there was a person after that. The young man came to inquire about something.
Ding Fuguang turned his eyes and started to have some concerns.
He first called the waiter who greeted him at the door that day to ask questions, and then he found out that Chen Qicai had come in and asked about it on the day when Pomegranate and the others were selling bamboo rats.
So, the first person to know that Pueraria lobata is a medicinal material should be the one who collects Pueraria lobata here, right?
But when this man dug up the kudzu root and asked the clerk, he didn't know that the kudzu root could be sold for money. Then he thought about what the villagers said. The girl Pomegranate had dug the kudzu root in the mountain earlier, but she didn't sell it like this man -
At that moment, Ding Fuguang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he went to Pharmacy Chang and asked him for a favor.
That is, when he collects kudzu root later, he will ask someone to register every villager who comes to sell kudzu root.
Chang Pharmacy was puzzled after hearing his request, but he thought that shopkeeper Ding was open-minded and easy to make friends with, and what he received was just kudzu root, not a rare medicinal material, so it didn't matter. Yes, he agreed without saying anything.
