The highest mountain in the north of Dongsang Village is called Beishan, with an altitude of about 1,300 meters, perennial clouds and mist, ethereal, like a fairyland on earth.

In addition to daily work and martial arts, the young people of Dongsang Village also have an important job of picking herbs.

Between the steep mountains and cliffs, a group of young men with bamboo baskets on their backs shuttle between the mountains like monkeys, and they are called "medicine pickers".

Usually they only carry very rudimentary tools, a basket and a small hoe for digging herbs.

Whether it's a towering tree or a steep cliff, climbing with bare hands has become their specialty.

The medicinal materials they often pick include Dendrobium officinalis, black medicine, Atractylodes macrocephalus, etc., which are some precious medicinal materials.

After collecting the medicinal herbs, they would sell them to the Lu family, a family of medicinal herbs, in exchange for some rice and flour to subsidize the family.

Tie Zhu carried half a basket of herbs on his back and asked, "Wufu, have you heard that Xiuxiu has been buying herbs on a large scale recently, and the price she gave is a generation higher than that of the Lu family, should we also sell herbs to her?" ”

Wufu pouted and said, "I don't, I still want to sell the herbs to the Lu family, and by the way, I will take a few more glances at Miss Lu." ”

"You fool, you're obsessed." Tie Zhu said, "Anyway, I'm going to sell these herbs to Xiuxiu like Tie Dan." ”

"She's not a doctor, why do you want so many herbs?"

"I don't know, let's go check it out."

"Okay."

When the two arrived at Zhou's house, they saw several other medicine collectors in the same village rushing with backpacks on their backs.

Tie Dan asked with a questioning face, "Xiuxiu, why did you buy so many herbs?" ”

Pei Xiuxiu looked at the condition of the dendrobium, clapped her hands and said, "It stands to reason that the price given to you by the Lu family is already a conscience price, but why should I buy it at twice the price?" The reason is that I have a way to double the price of it. There is no melon that can't be sold in the world, and Lao Wang sells melons and boasts, so the key to saying that a thing is worth not is marketing methods.

For example, how can a piece of extremely ordinary jade be sold for a high price? First of all, we can add some stories to this piece of jade, and some legends or something. The story should be made vivid, and the advertisement should be loud, so that when this piece of beautiful jade is well known, it is also when its price rises.

Next, after this step, we have to do a lively activity with the aim of creating an atmosphere. We can find a few fake buyers to compete with each other for the auction price, so as to create an atmosphere where this jade is extremely rare and precious, and there are many people who covet it.

Third, after waiting for the real rich businessman's hook, we can start the follow-up work, bargaining. We're done when we reach the price we want. ”

Wufu was stunned and said, "Xiuxiu, why do I think you look like a liar?" ”

"Wrong, I'm Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The so-called buying and selling is to sell something to a person in need, and make him feel valuable and willing to pay for it. ”

Wufu rolled his eyes and said, "But why do I think you're still a profiteer?" ”

Pei Xiuxiu smiled awkwardly: "Ah, Wufu, I didn't mean that, I just made a party." How could I be a profiteer? The kindest person in my heart is me, and you can see that I am not a profiteer anymore because I buy herbs at such a high price for you. My business philosophy is that everyone earns money, and one person is not as rich as everyone is rich. Rest assured, we are all residents of Dongsang Village, how can I only care about eating meat for myself and not even giving you soup? ”

Tie Zhu asked, "Then what do you want so many dendrobiums and black medicine for?" ”

Pei Xiuxiu thought for a while and replied: "Wholesale medicinal materials, buying and selling only makes the difference between them, and the profit is limited. If I want to maximize the value of medicinal materials, I have thought that I want to produce finished medicines, such as Hearth's Warming Pill and Wu Yao San. Dendrobium and black medicine are common medicinal materials in our Dongsang Village, which can be described as unique. In addition, my grandfather's elaborate Hearth's Warming Pill and Wu Yao San are indeed very curative medicines, and I have sold them at a high price, so I don't have to worry about no market. Good things, plus my mouth, I am confident that I can double the earnings. When I make money, I'll go to the town to open a pharmacy, and then you can come over and be a buddy? ”

"Okay, okay, yes, I'm willing." Iron Egg dances happily.

Wu Ping'an looked at Pei Xiuxiu cautiously and said, "Xiuxiu, how do you feel that you have suddenly become so powerful, I have seen it since the time when the rich man robbed his relatives." ”

Pei Xiuxiu covered her face proudly and smiled: "Haha...... Have it? Am I so smart, okay? It's just that you fools know Miss Lu all day long, where are the rest of us in your eyes. ”

Lin Dazhi, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, blushed and bowed his head and said, "No, I have always thought that Miss Pei is better." ”

"Wow won't? A confession so soon? Pei Xiuxiu shook her head and said proudly: "It seems that the peach blossoms are also unstoppable, but it's a pity that the stupid melon Zeng Qingfeng is still an elm with a hard heart." Please, we are a couple who have received a certificate and worshiped in this world, and it is sad that we have to do it all over again when we come back. At this pace, when will I be able to enter the cave room? People have been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

Pei Xiuxiu, who was deep in thought, was called several times before she broke free from her fantasy.

Since then, Pei Xiuxiu has returned to the alchemy room of the Taoist Academy with a large number of herbs for alchemy, and she is very busy all day long.

The two flavor pills of Hearth's Warming Pill and Wuyao Powder have been refined by Pei Xiuxiu since she was a child, with her grandfather Pei Zhutian, so she is very familiar with this process.

In less than a week, she had refined more than 100 bottles of Hearth's Warming Pill and more than 50 bottles of Wuyao San.

A few days later, Pei Xiuxiu, accompanied by Tie Zhu, set off with the pill.

Before leaving, Aunt Zeng, whose body had recovered to normal, told her thousands of times: Xiuxiu, don't be playful, come back as soon as possible.

Xiuxiu took the nurse's hand and smiled: "Don't worry, nurse, I will be fine with the iron pillar." ”

"You, you, what are you fooling about?" Aunt Zeng complained.

Pei Xiuxiu coaxed: "Nurse, you are here again." One person is not really rich, I want to change the face of poverty in Dongsang Village, so that the villagers can live a good life. How about building our village into a real paradise when the time comes? Pavilions, water pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. ”

"This is what an official does, are you a yellow-haired girl doing it blindly?"

"Self-sufficient, abundant food and clothing, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on heaven and earth."

"Poor mouth!"

"Nurse, I know you love me the most, I promise to come back when I'm done."

Pei Xiuxiu raised her hand and swore and gave the nurse a big hug.

In Aunt Zeng's reluctant eyes, Pei Xiuxiu left with the iron pillar.

The two walked to a small hill and were intercepted by a group of bandits, and Pei Xiuxiu recognized that the leader was Gongsun Yu, who had met again.

Pei Xiuxiu smiled: "Gongsun Gongzi hasn't seen you for a long time, do you still recognize me?" ”

Gongsun Yu shook the iron fan and smiled: "It turned out to be the little lady before, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come harmed!" ”

"Fortunately, I will be lucky!"

"Where is the little lady going? What about the young man with martial arts? Why didn't I come with you? ”

Pei Xiuxiu's eyes rolled and said with a light smile: "Brother Qingfeng, come later, and relieve yourself not far away." ”

Gongsun Yu smiled: "Oh, I don't think so? Are you afraid of me? Don't worry, although I am a bandit, there is also a way, since I have already let you go, I will not embarrass you this time. ”

Pei Xiuxiu flattered diligently: "I know that Gongsun Gongzi is a chivalrous man, and I admire and admire him." I won't tell you that I have a few bottles of God's medicine list to honor Gongsun Gongzi, the cold medicine that drives away the cold and treats typhoid fever, and I sell it to others are two hundred taels and one bottles, but as for Gongsun Gongzi, I will give you a few bottles for nothing, and if you think the effect is good in the future, how about I sell it to you? ”

Gongsun Yutie Fan covered his face and smiled: "I can't see that the girl is still a piece of business material, my Gongsun Yu never takes women's things for nothing, since you sell others two hundred taels of bottles, how about I give you a bottle of three hundred taels?" ”

"Huh? Why? Pei Xiuxiu asked in surprise.

Gongsun Yu explained: "Some time ago, we just intercepted a batch of official silver, and the amount is considerable, so it is not bad money. ”

Pei Xiuxiu frowned when she heard this: "It turns out that you intercepted that batch of official silver?" Do you know that it is the silver taels used in Lingxian County to help disasters, and many people in Lingxian County have been displaced and have no food, so you are good. Hum! Is this what you call the Tao and the Tao? I don't take your dirty money, it's not rare. ”

A black-faced man, with a face full of flesh, stared at him viciously and scolded: "I don't know the thickness of the sky, you are looking for death!" ”

Tie Zhu raised his sword and blocked in front of Pei Xiuxiu.

Gongsun Yu spoke: "Don't act rashly, let them go!" ”

Pei Xiuxiu didn't even look at them, and left with Tie Zhuyi.

Gongsun Yu looked at the back of them and asked with a calm face, "What's going on?" Didn't the second boss say that this batch of silver was the stolen money used by the corrupt official Zhou County to bribe? How did it become a silver tael for disaster relief? ”

One of the subordinates explained: "Back to the three masters, this batch of silver taels is indeed the silver taels for disaster relief, and the second boss is afraid that you won't take it after you know it, so he deliberately said that." ”

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! What is the difference between us doing this and banditry? What else do you do Liangshan heroes? I'll go back and ask now. Gongsun Yu angrily brushed his sleeves away.

Chivalrous mountain cottage

Gongsun Yu said desperately: "Big brother and second brother, you and I have run out of fate, since the Tao is different, then don't conspire with each other, the younger brother will leave!" ”

The big boss opened his mouth and persuaded: "Third brother and third brother, listen to me, how about I order someone to return the disaster relief silver to the government?" ”

Gongsun Yu shook his hand and said: "No need, in fact, I knew a long time ago that we were not all the way, but out of righteousness, I just turned a blind eye to some of your unrighteous acts." But now I know that being a bandit is not a good way out, and I am going to go out and find my own way and complete my own revenge. ”

Gongsun Yutou went down the mountain without looking back, no one knew what was waiting for him in front of him, but people are like this, once they make up their minds, they will become invincible.
