Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 100 - 100 Ideas

100 Ideas

The plants across the twenty mu were ripe and lush, because no one had harvested them before. It was the correct time, but soon they would go bad.

Qiao Xuan decided to move them back home before they were discovered by others.

The plants were not growing very regularly, and she decided to get some more laborers for help. With their help, the harvesting would take just a couple of days.

The three of them returned to the village. Qiao Xuan and Shao Taotao waited for Shao Xiaoqi to get the bullock cart to their spot.

Then the three of them went into the town together, and arrived at the pharmacy called Mingren Tang.

They went to the old client whom they had sold stuff to earlier.

Qiao Xuan had no idea how to deal with gastrodia elata herself, and it would be too troublesome and eye-catching as well. What if those nosy people came to their home and made trouble?

They could just dig and sell, saving a lot of trouble.

Those relatives were so shameless. How could they just return like nothing had happened, every time they finished the argument with her mother-in-law?

It basically meant that they were thick-skinned whe it came to their own interests and had a greedy disposition.

Hearing that they had gastrodia elata, Manager Qin was really astonished.

But for Qiao Xuan’s previous visit and their generous sale of hundreds of kilos of wild honey last time, he would not have believed their words. Instead, he would have thought that they were here causing trouble and would have driven them out.

Seeing the plants they had brought with them, he was surprised. They were freshly-dug with soil still attached.

Manager Qin was surprised and happy, as he said emotionally, “You are indeed lucky!”

“Of course we will take it! I will buy them at a reasonable price… do you have any more?”

Manager Qin looked at her expectantly.

Qiao Xuan replied with a leisurely smile, “Of course yes, we have found more than ten mu of it in the mountains. This is just a small portion we have dug. So, Manager Qin, name a good price, otherwise we will not go and dig them any further.”

Manager Qin would not have believed those words if they were spoken by someone else, and he would have quoted a low price if he was dealing with regular villagers. Well, everyone was trying to make some money, right?

But he had to believe what Qiao Xuan said.

She was a reliable person, and she must be right about what she had said.

Qiao Xuan would not trick him, like the others.

Manager Qin smiled. “You are funny, little girl, my Mingren Tang is always fair and sells things at a right price, you can bring all kinds of medical herbs you can find, and we can buy it from you at the right price.”

“The plants are raw, and we still need to deal with them, which may take some time. I will pay 2 liang for every 500 grams, okay?”

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao almost fainted and their hearts skipped a beat…

They exchanged a shocked look between each other – what did they just hear?

2 liang?

They had spent a lot of effort carrying the bags and baskets from the mountains, and it should weigh at least 35 to 40 kg together…

So, how much were they going to receive?

They just could not calculate it any more…
