Chapter 388: Three Episodes of the Past

Herb growers from all over the country are willing to buy two of the best quality herbs at a low price, but what is the secret behind this?

Many people were a little confused like Li Ling, and more and more people poured into the hall waiting for the three old men to answer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three old men had reached the age of antiquity, they were not talkative, the three of them glanced at each other, and turned their eyes to the middle-aged man who had just gone out with Erzhang to inspect the goods.

"Duanmu Yu, let's give a general explanation of the cause and effect, it seems that if we don't make it clear, the two eldest nephews will not accept these medicinal materials!" The old man snorted coldly and said to his peers who followed Erzhang into the hall: "Maybe there are still people who always treat us as liars!"

"The three old men, along with their fellow villagers, have all been helped by Elder Zhang. We, the juniors, are accompanying them to repay the favor!"

The middle-aged man stood up and explained his intentions, his eyes staring at the old man who had reprimanded him earlier with full respect, it was clear that the old man was his elder.

"My father and uncle are both ginseng pickers from Northeast China, and I remember that the winter of 30 years ago was very cold, and there were snowflakes in the sky all day long, and few people were able to go up the mountain to pick ginseng in such an environment, and the villagers were almost desperate!" The middle-aged man carefully recalled the scene his father told him: "In the poor and white countryside at that time, it was almost impossible for them to survive such a harsh winter, and everyone was very worried!"

It was at this time that Zhang Lao entered the village to buy medicinal materials, and when he learned that it was almost impossible to buy medicinal materials this winter, he did not leave, but took out all the money he brought to help the poor villagers.

The ginseng pickers relied on Mr. Zhang's care to get through the difficulties, and in the spring of the following year, everyone dug up a lot of good ginseng in the hope of giving it to him, but because he found other ways to buy it, Mr. Zhang never went to the village again.

Hundreds of people in a whole village relied on him to survive comfortably in the harsh winter, but unfortunately the villagers couldn't repay this favor.

Zhang Lao's deeds have been passed down in this small village, and some people still remember that they owe Lao Zhang a favor, a great favor.

Duanmu Yu's uncle is the village chief of the village and the patriarch of the Duanmu clan, he accepts the instructions of the villagers and has been looking for Zhang Lao, but unfortunately the world is so big, how easy is it to find a specific person in the vast sea of people?

"The old man's surname is Wang, from Jingzhou!" another old man stood up and said: "My fellow villager and I have also received the favor of Lao Zhang, and I came here today to take care of the deceased!"

Although the old man was old, he still wore a suit and leather shoes, and maintained a gentle demeanor, and he coughed a few times as soon as he said two words.

A young man next to him hurriedly walked up to him and helped the other party to sit down: "Grandpa, let me tell you about this matter, I know everything very well!"

The young man took care of the old man and turned around and said with some pride: "I am Shaodong of Shennong Group, and now the group is in charge of my father, and there are more than a dozen cars outside that are sponsored by my grandfather, and the price is the same, and it is also traded according to the market price!"

As Shennong Group, he was very proud of the future, and told the relationship between his grandfather and Mr. Zhang out loud!

Twenty-five years ago, the rainy season in Jingzhou was particularly long, not only the crops in the fields were affected, but also the herbs planted by the medicinal farmers were even more affected. The herbs were soaked in water for many days, and almost all of them withered!

In the end, the plants of these herbs are not large, and when they are picked, the plants are yellow, and the quality of various herbs is seriously reduced.

What they didn't expect was that the herbalist took advantage of the fire to rob and was willing to pay less than half the price of the previous year on the grounds that the quality of the herbs was problematic.

The villagers were unconvinced but helpless. Seeing that the herbs he cultivated and carefully cared for could only be sold for a cabbage price, his heart was like a knife.

Just when everyone had to sell these herbs in pain, a loyal and honest but a bit stupid buyer appeared, who bought the herbs at a price of sixty percent in the previous year.

How could other buyers be willing to let him collect all the medicinal materials alone? Some of the herbs in Jingzhou are well-known throughout the country, whether they are withered or not, the appearance of the medicines after concoction is almost the same, and the old Chinese medicine practitioners who are not experts can't see it at all!

"You can't let a rat poop spoil a pot of porridge!" Other medicinal herb buyers sent many people to persuade Lao Zhang without success, and finally had to raise the price to sixty percent.

Others offered sixty percent of the price, and Lao Zhang paid seventy percent, until the buyer raised the price to the same level as in previous years, and Zhang Lao disappeared with dozens of tons of medicinal materials.

The medicine farmers thought that Zhang Lao had found the next family to buy herbs at a high price, but who knew that after he returned to Yuzhou, he sold the medicinal materials to the veterinary drug manufacturer cheaply, and he posted hundreds of thousands.

Twenty-five years ago, every Jingzhou person remembered the year of the flood very clearly, but the memory of the medicine farmers was very vague, because that year was only a little lower in the harvest and did not cause much loss.

A few years later, Shen Pesticide Industry Group was established, and the group finally established its own veterinary drug manufacturing branch after more than ten years of development.

At an exchange meeting, Lao Wang heard about this from the staff of a veterinary drug company in Yuzhou, and they knew that it was not easy for Zhang Lao to buy back this batch of withered medicinal materials.

The price paid by Zhang Lao was finally known by that time.

Shennong Company is a relatively large company in China, Lao Wang is one of the founders of this company, and his words are absolutely trustworthy!

"My surname is Liu, from Yizhou!"

The last old man stood up and told everyone about the past.

The local weather is always sunny and the grass is always thriving! After years of accumulation, the herbs produced in Yizhou have finally reached saturation.

At a time when the income of medicine farmers in Yizhou was generally decreasing, the people of Liujiazhuang were not affected much, because they met Zhang Lao.

Zhang Lao accepted the medicine in their hands at an extremely high price.

"As long as the quality is good, the price is naturally not a problem!" Lao Liu always remembered what Zhang Lao said back then.

Cordyceps was a luxury in the past, and not many people could afford it, but I don't know if there are any of these good medicinal materials in Zhang's warehouse?

The teachings of the ancestors, and the younger generations dare not forget that Duanmu Yu once learned about Zhang Lao's news on a herb-related forum. He felt that Zhang Lao was looking for someone by himself.

After his father and uncle confirmed, he began to plan to repay the Zhang family, and later got acquainted with the Wang family, the Liu family and others.

Everyone told the story of Mr. Zhang on the forum, and more and more people found that their ancestors had been helped by Mr. Zhang.

Many people began to pay attention to the Zhang family, and when these people knew that their former benefactor was suffering, more and more people organized.

In the end, irrelevant medicine farmers also joined in the action!
