October, the season of ripening, the season of harvest.

It's a busy and happy season for the medicine farmers in Higashiyama.

Busy, because Dongshan has four more medicinal herb planting bases this year, the demand for medicine farmers is particularly large, and they don't have to worry about finding a job at all, and they are happy, they can make money at the door of their homes, and they no longer have to risk their lives in the deep mountains and old forests to collect medicine, can you not be happy?

Higashiyama Farmers Market.

It's more lively here than in previous years, and it's still those people who sell medicinal herbs, but there are many unfamiliar faces who buy medicinal herbs, they speak with a different accent from Dongshan, and say some things that locals don't understand, but one thing is clear to everyone, that is, Dongshan wants fire.

Yes, Dongshan does want fire.

The provincial highway connecting the three cities, so that the little-known Dongshan suddenly became the center of the three cities, in the past, from Qingzhou to Linshi and Pingchong, it took more than two hours to drive, now from the Dongshan side, it only takes one and a half hours to go, not only saving time, but also reducing the cost.

Although the section of Linshi and Pingchong Road has not been repaired, the road from Qingzhou to Dongshan has been repaired, the road is better and wider, and there are naturally more people coming to Dongshan.

"Ginseng ginseng, wild ginseng from Qingyun Mountain, fifty years old, take a look at it, the ...... that was just sent from the mountain this morning"

"Propolis, Fresh Propolis ......"

"Ganoderma lucidum, wild Ganoderma lucidum, fake one pays ...... ten"

The cries of selling resounded throughout the farmer's trade hall.

In the crowd, Li Dong and Lin Hai looked at the medicinal materials in the market as they walked.

"Brother Dong, this year's medicinal materials in Qingyun Mountain seem to be more abundant than in previous years, you look at this pile of medicinal materials, there were not so many in previous years. Lin Hai said loudly to Li Dong.

There is no way, there are too many people, the surroundings are too noisy, although they are very close, but if the voice is low, they can't be heard.

"It's not that there is a bumper harvest of medicinal materials on Qingyun Mountain, but that there are fewer people who go to Qingyun Mountain to collect medicine. Li Dong said lightly, "The same Qingyun Mountain, in the past, in this season, tens of thousands of people went to the mountain to collect medicine, that scene, like thousands of horses galloping, you don't know, now, there are only one or two thousand people, there are fewer opponents to collect medicine, the difficulty is smaller, and the medicinal materials are naturally more." ”

"Why are there so many fewer people?" asked Lin Hai puzzled.

"Do you still need to ask?" Li Dong glanced at Lin Hai and said with a smile, "Of course, we all go to the medicinal herb planting base to collect medicines." Go to Qingyun Mountain to collect medicine, not to mention the hard work, but also take it here to sell, go to the planting base to collect medicine, settle on a daily basis, get more for more work, get less for less work, there is no danger, who still goes to Qingyun Mountain?"

Lin Hai suddenly realized.

"Boss Li, you're here!" Some stall owners met Li Dong and took the initiative to say hello to Li Dong.

"I heard that your medicinal herb base has a bumper harvest this year, congratulations. ”

"Have you found a good home for medicinal materials? Do you need me to help you sell them? I know a pharmacist who specializes in buying all kinds of Chinese medicinal materials. ”

“……”

These stall owners are all from Dongshan, and most of them are from the following villages, many of them are from the thirty-two villages where Li Dong's medicinal herb planting base is located, compared to the stable income in the medicinal herb planting base, this kind of people are more willing to go to Qingyun Mountain to take risks, they usually have a heart to find precious medicinal materials before going up the mountain, for example, if you can find a wild ginseng tree in Qingyun Mountain for decades, it will make a fortune.

Li Dong greeted them one by one, and when he met the familiar, he naturally had to say a few more words, talk about the harvest of local medicinal materials, and talk about the situation of medicinal materials in the country that he heard from foreign pharmacists, but don't underestimate these stall owners, stay in the farmers' market all day long, contact with pharmacists from all over the city, the province and even all over the country, and have an understanding of medicinal materials, which is definitely no worse than those big companies.

"Brother Dong, it's Song Baosheng and Song Yiyi!" Lin Hai pointed to the victory acquisition station in front.

Li Dong nodded, unconsciously, the two had come to the Song family's victory acquisition station, which had been surrounded by crowds, three layers inside and three layers outside, Song Baosheng changed his leisurely appearance of sitting on the Taishi chair at the front end, standing in front of the door and commanding his subordinates loudly, Song Yiyi was not idle, holding two mobile phones in his hands, taking turns to call, and from time to time he also needed to go back to the office to pick up the landline.

"I heard that the Song family's harvest this year is also good. Lin Hai said to Li Dong, seeing the busy appearance of others, he couldn't help but blush.

He looked at Li Dong, and didn't understand why Brother Dong kept piling up medicinal materials in the warehouse and didn't sell them here, and Jishitang was not like Wanhai and Zhongkang had their own pharmaceutical companies, relying on Brother Dong to boil medicine alone, tens of thousands of acres of medicinal materials had to be boiled until the Year of the Monkey.

"It's normal. After hearing this, Li Dong said, "Song Baosheng has a wide network of people in Dongshan, and he knows many medicine farmers, many of whom are old medicine farmers who have grown medicine all their lives and have rich experience. ”

"Zhongkang and Wanhai have not shipped, and now the farmers' market is dominated by Song Baosheng's family, look at this person, tsk, they are all here to send money. Lin Hai wanted to ask Dong Ge why he didn't ship, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only talk about Zhongkang and Wan Hai.

"What's the matter, your eyes are red?" asked Li Dong.

"Yes!" Lin Hai nodded heavily.

"Everyone knows that now is the season when a large number of medicinal materials are on the market, but the price of medicinal materials will fluctuate very much relatively quickly, and after a period of time, after the provincial and national medicinal material production statistics, the price of various medicinal materials is relatively stable, who is high and who is low, at a glance, it is not too late to make a move. Li Dong said lightly, with a confident look, "As for why Song Yiyi is in such a hurry to ship, it is very simple, her family has a loan in the bank, and tens of thousands of acres of medicinal materials, her family's warehouse can't be placed, and she is afraid of rotting outside, and renting a warehouse will increase a cost, so she naturally has to hurry up to recover the funds, repay the loan, and reduce the pressure." We don't have a loan, and we have a warehouse, what are we afraid of?"

Lin Hai finally understood now, and couldn't help but secretly admire Brother Dong's wisdom and intelligence, and he wondered why Brother Dong spent so much money to build a warehouse of more than 20,000 square meters in Shuitai Village, which turned out to be the case.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. Li Dong said to Lin Hai, and then walked towards the victory acquisition station.

Lin Hai was slightly stunned, thinking that Brother Dong had passed over at this time, but he was just going to smash the field, right?

Song Yiyi was on the phone with a medicinal agent she knew a few days ago, and when she saw Li Dong coming, she hung up after a few words.

"What are you doing here?" Song Yiyi looked at Li Dong vigilantly, although the other party was her family's biggest customer, but also the biggest enemy, appearing at this time inevitably made her have a bad premonition, and the whole person became nervous, just like a thief.

As the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, not to mention that this is still an unusual thief.
