"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Ji Nian took it with a smile on his face.

"Although the salary has been given to you, you can't pull off today's work, and you will be fine after today's work. Go ahead, there are a few people over there who have come to sell loose medicinal herbs, and you go over and palm your eyes. Zhao Jing looked slightly sideways and said casually.

"Okay, I'll go."

Ji Nian put the envelope in his bag, turned around and walked to the moon arch in the backyard.

Backyard east side yard.

The air is filled with a unique smell of various medicinal herbs, and the entire backyard is a warehouse for the purchase of medicinal herbs, but even so, there is a difference. For example, the east courtyard in front of me only does the purchase of one kind of loose medicinal materials.

The loose medicinal materials mentioned here are actually very simple, they are the medicinal materials that those mountain and wild retail households come to sell. There is another rule handed down by the ancestors of Qihuang Pavilion that cannot be violated: it is not allowed to block the purchase channel of loose medicinal materials at any time, and it cannot be said that you have a large purchase channel and ignore this channel.

There is an allusion to the reason why there is such a rule.

It is said that the older generation of Qihuang Pavilion once missed several precious Chinese medicinal materials because they did not pay attention to the acquisition of loose medicinal materials, so that they fulfilled the reputation of the rest of their peers, and almost made Qihuang Pavilion fall into a state of bankruptcy. Fortunately, the Jiren have their own natural appearance, and when the Chen family was about to go bankrupt because of the lack of goods, Shanhu came with a few baskets of Chinese medicinal materials, and found several equally valuable medicinal materials from them, which helped Qihuang Pavilion to tide over the difficulties.

After this incident, the ancestors of the Chen family made a rule that no one could block the purchase channels of loose medicinal materials at any time, because you don't know if there are scarce and valuable medicinal materials among them for your use. At the same time, the acquisition of loose medicinal materials seems to be a way to make money for the other party, but in fact, it is also to leave a way back for yourself.

Ji Nian has spent most of his time here since he came here to work part-time.

"It's been a little coming."

When Ji Nian walked into the east courtyard, a middle-aged man in his thirties straightened up and greeted him with a smile. This is a person with ordinary appearance, ordinary figure, and ordinary clothes, his name is Lu Shanling, and he is Zhao Jingluo's apprentice, he is not the kind of nominal apprentice, but a real disciple.

Among Zhao Jingluo's three apprentices, Lu Shanling is the youngest, although he has not yet become a teacher, but because he has been learning from the teacher, he has benefited a lot, and he is willing to eat.

Unlike some people who have not yet learned knowledge, they are eager to go out and work alone as soon as possible, Lu Shanling often says that as long as you can learn skills, it doesn't matter if you can't be a teacher or not. is honest and sincere, and does his duty, Lu Shanling has a good reputation in this branch. 1

"Brother Lu, Elder Zhao asked me to come over to help." Ji Nian stepped forward with a smile.

"Okay, with you, I can speed up the identification. But you're recovering? You kid is really capable, you dare to jump into the river to save people in such a heavy rain, just rush this, it is worthy of my admiration. Lu Shanling raised his hand and slapped Ji Nian's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Lu, you are too complimentary, my body is fine, let's hurry up and do things first."

"Well, go ahead, there are still three over there waiting for identification, and I'll leave it to you."

"Okay."

There are now a total of ten retail households waiting to sell medicinal materials in the east side courtyard, and from their dress, Ji Nian can recognize at a glance that they are the villagers on the side of Dameng Mountain in Zihuai County, Zhonghai, because only people over there will come to Qihuang Pavilion to sell medicinal materials, and no one will do this in other places, and no one can find medicinal materials.

These households, who are next to Dameng Mountain, often go up the mountain to pick medicinal herbs, and then sell them in the city to earn some money to subsidize their families.

"Hello Fubo, you are here to sell medicinal herbs again, it is really hard for you to collect medicines at such an old age." Ji Nian stood in front of an old man and greeted him familiarly.

The old man was tall and thin, wearing a dark gray shirt, his weather-beaten face was deeply wrinkled, and his eyes were a little cloudy from the erosion of time. But he was full of spirit, and showed no signs of decadence and decay. Seeing Ji Nian coming to talk to him, Liang Anfu grinned on his face, revealing his teeth that were smoky and charred.

"Xiao Nian, the old man is bothering you again."

"What are you talking about, this is what I should do, it's my business. Did you bring all these people here? The amount of medicinal herbs you brought with you this time is quite a lot. Ji Nian walked to the front of the medicine basket with a smile, picked up a few pieces and put them on the tip of his nose and said lightly.

"Yes, I brought them all here, and they are all medicine pickers from our nearby villages. You don't know, they used to sell to other pharmacies, but then they heard me that the price you give here is real, and they all clamored for me to bring them over. In the future, the medicinal materials we pick, and the medicinal materials that have been dried at home, will be sold to you Qihuang Pavilion. Liang Anfu pointed at a few people around him with a thin finger and introduced to Ji Nian with a smile.

"That's a good idea. Fu Bo, the reputation of our Qihuang Pavilion is well-known, as long as the medicinal materials brought over are genuine, the price given is absolutely fair. Don't dare to say anything else, looking at the entire Zhonghai, Qihuang Pavilion is definitely the first in this matter. Ji Nian said confidently.

I can't say that because I was going to leave Qihuang Pavilion in the afternoon, I wouldn't help this side to speak. Of course, Ji Nian would say this because what he said was the truth. Although Zhonghai said that there is not only Qihuangge, which is a medicinal herb shop, but the rest are not large-scale and climate-forming, so it is naturally impossible to buy bulk medicinal materials at a high price.

"That's the reason, we are also here for the signboard of Qihuang Pavilion. Xiao Nian, you can show us how much these medicinal materials can be sold for. Liang Anfu asked the two people around him to move the medicine basket forward so that Ji Nian could identify it.

"Well, Fauber, I'll take a look before I talk about it."

Ji Nian will know Liang Anfu because this old man has come to Qihuang Pavilion to sell medicinal herbs for the fourth time during the summer vacation. Every time he came over, Ji Nian was in charge of the reception, he trusted the quality of the medicinal materials picked and collected by the old man, and Liang Anfu also believed in Ji Nian very much.

A basket of medicinal herbs was poured into a basket, and it was sorted and placed by Ji Nian's hands. These are basically medicinal herbs that have just been picked for a long time, and they don't have an amazing medicinal age, and it's not the first time they've done this, Ji Nian is very quick to act.

When the last medicine basket was left, Ji Nian had just poured out all the medicinal herbs, and was about to identify them, when his body suddenly trembled slightly, his eyes were fixed on the bottom of the medicine basket, and his face showed a look of disbelief and surprise. It's just that because of the reason for bowing his head, no one can see this surprise except him.

"Hey, it can't be such a coincidence, right? Am I lucky? Ji Nian's heart was shocked like a frenzy.

Because at the moment just now, when Ji Nian touched the bottom of the medicine basket, the vitality that was originally quietly suspended in his palm actually began to rotate, vaguely revealing a very strong desire, as if he was eager to devour the things in front of him.

Could it be that this medicine basket is weird? Impossible, it's definitely not a medicine basket, Ji Nian can be sure that this medicine basket is no different from the previous two, it is made of the most ordinary thorn strips. And if it's not the medicine basket, it's the wooden stick that lies at the bottom of the medicine basket. This wooden strip is about 30 centimeters long, and the whole body is black and uneven, and anyone who sees it will not regard it as a treasure, but will definitely look at it as a burning stick.

However, it was the strong desire to devour the vitality in his body brought by this waste material, and Ji Nian was a little stunned for a while.

This medicine basket was brought by a middle-aged man in his thirties, he was of medium height, with a Chinese face, and his skin looked a little rough because he often worked in the countryside. He was wearing a navy blue T-shirt and looked at Ji Nian nervously. He knew very well how much his medicinal herbs could sell, and the comments given by Ji Nian were very important.

The first two medicine baskets are fine, but why does Ji Nian stop when it is his turn, could it be that there is a problem with the medicinal materials? No, these medicinal materials are all picked by themselves, and they are not adulterated with any fakes at all.

"Little brother, is there a problem with my medicinal herbs?" Liu Guangli asked cautiously.

"Ahh No problem, I'll show you this. ”

After being awakened by this question, Ji Nian swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, temporarily suppressed the urge to explore in his heart, stood up and turned his head to begin to identify medicinal materials, and after five minutes, it was over, he stood up straight and swept over Liang Anfu and the three of them with a smile.

"Fu Bo, your medicinal materials are fine, I have already identified them, and they are all good. Let's still follow the old rules, I'll give an evaluation here, and you can take it and sell it over there. ”

"Okay, thank you Xiao Nian." Liang Anfu said with a smile.

"You're so polite." Ji Nian personally picked up the first medicine basket on the ground, and after Liang Anfu took it, he skillfully walked to the acquisition point not far away, and the second person followed, and when it was Liu Guangli's turn, Ji Nian casually pointed to the wooden strip in the medicine basket.

"Big brother, can I ask if this stick is yours?"

"It's mine." Liu Guangli glanced at it and said: "It was thrown in by our children when they were playing blindly, and I was in too much of a hurry when I came, so I forgot to take it out." Little brother, is there something wrong with this wooden strip that affects the medicinal herbs? ”

"Not really." Ji Nian shook his head and said.

"That's good, I'll throw the trash bin when I go out, and I won't throw it here with you." Liu Guangli assured.

"Throw it away?" Ji Nian was stunned.

"Of course, if you don't throw it away, do you keep it? I don't want to carry it back, it's just a piece of firewood. Liu Guangli said nonchalantly.

"Big brother, go sell medicinal herbs, I'll help you get rid of this firewood." Ji Nian said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Liu Guangli turned around with the medicine basket and left, Ji Nian quickly took out the wooden strip from the medicine basket, when his hands touched it again, his heart beat faster, and an unprecedented ecstasy surged into his heart.

Now let me see what secrets you are hiding.
