Chapter 483 - Chapter 483 483. Is this medicine reliable_1

Chapter 483: 483. Is this medicine reliable?_1 Chapter 483: 483. Is this medicine reliable?_1 Mr. Qian laughed heartily.

He thought to himself, “The price I’m offering isn’t low! If these peaches are really as delicious as the tea currently insulated in the flask in my sunproof clothing pocket, well… sigh! It wouldn’t be impossible to raise it by another 50 cents.”

Any more than that would make them hard to sell.

The group, swaying back and forth, made their way down the mountain again by the same route.

However, the two inspectors furrowed their brows with concern: “Do you have to use this path to transport the peaches down the mountain?”

One or two baskets wouldn’t be an issue, but to harvest and transport the whole orchard’s worth of peaches would be truly laborious.

Song Tan shook her head: “No, you can take a tricycle if you turn onto the main road here and go around the bend.”

Otherwise, we’d never manage when we harvest hundreds of watermelons!

“That’s a relief.”

The inspectors felt relieved as well. Although this was not related to their job, seeing a young girl carrying such a large basket of peaches by herself made them feel quite uncomfortable.

To offer to help… cough, it’s embarrassing to say, but with how adept she is, they probably wouldn’t be as efficient as her on these mountain paths.

By the time they returned home, Qiaoqiao’s lesson was still not over, yet Seventh Uncle had already poked his head out: “Tantan, are we expecting a few more for lunch?”

Song Tan indicated with her fingers: “Three!”

Secretary Xiaozu was already a regular visitor by now, so she was naturally included.

Seventh Uncle emerged from the kitchen: “Then I’ll go to the field and pick a basket of tender corn.”

Song Tan quickly instructed: “Pick a few extra, this afternoon I’d like to have a couple grilled, and boiled for lunch.”

“Alright!”

Their family grew the most common type of silage corn, one stalk of which could produce two to three ears, sometimes even four, though those would be slightly smaller.

Compared to the better-tasting varieties of corn, the advantage was in its high yield, which is why the villagers mostly grew it to feed chickens, ducks, and pigs.

But with her Spiritual Energy nourishing it, even the silage corn now tasted good.

Indeed, Qiaoqiao had actually picked a small basket early in the morning, but everyone at home had taken one to munch on while walking around, and now there were none left.

Meanwhile, in the upstairs study, Qiaoqiao, hearing the commotion, couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly: “I knew it, I’m the best at growing corn! The corn I grow is the most, most, most delicious! Next year I want to grow even more!”

Xin Jun nodded: “Do that! Grow it well! Plant a whole ten acres! Next year we’ll buy from you!”

That would have to wait. Qiaoqiao had only planted an acre this year, and although it was meant to feed chickens, ducks, and pigs, it looked like there wouldn’t even be enough for people to eat, leaving only the corn cobs.

The corn husks were used by Seventh Uncle to wrap rice, and the silk was carefully collected to be dried and used for tea later.

The leaves fed the carp in the pond and the chickens and ducks.

And the stalks… well, they were probably for the pigs… In short, it was a case of complete and thorough utilization, without a trace of waste.

Sigh, he also wanted some grilled corn now.

…

On the other hand, the two inspectors were astonished.

From the outside, this country villa was already quite beautiful, but they didn’t expect to find the place even more spacious upon entering the yard!

In a corner of the yard, three elderly men and women were sitting, sorting a strange kind of fruit while chatting.

And on this side, frames were lined with rows of dried cowpeas, as well as dried eggplants and layers of dried chili peppers, blazing red and especially eye-catching.

They could faintly hear, as if from some corner of a room, the sound of machinery humming.

Curious, they asked, “I hear the sound of machinery, don’t I?”

Zhang Yanping, who was munching on a peach, paused and then replied, “Oh, it’s probably the mixer for making chili sauce. We put it in the corner room; otherwise, it’s too noisy.”

That room was spacious, fitted with a worktable, covered with ceramic tiles, and had a suspended ceiling installed. It was much cleaner than working in the courtyard.

He flashed a bright white smile, his robust dark figure paired with an exceptionally earnest laugh, “How about two jars of chili sauce? They’re selling like hotcakes in our shop!”

Inspection personnel: …

I’m not going to lie to you, this job of checking whether subsidies in the countryside are legit is really quite popular.

Not to mention anything else, but a couple of bundles of fresh greens are better than what you get at the market, right?

Of course, that’s not why they do it.

But this place… Why does it feel like something is off everywhere you look?

And yet what specifically is off seems indescribable.

For a moment, the two of them didn’t know how to respond.

Meanwhile, they saw a middle-aged man pushing a small cart, transporting some mud, sand, and bricks into another room–

“So what’s all this for?”

“This?” Zhang Yanping pointed to a pile of Golden Sakura on the floor in the corner. “See that? It’s a type of herbal medicine that needs to be dried. We weren’t prepared for it at first, but now we’re going to build a new roasting room.”

And just think, with those previously unanticipated Golden Sakura fetching 300 yuan per half kilogram, Song Sancheng felt invigorated even moving bricks!

It was also unexpected, originally not wanting to set up a roasting room, but now business demands it, so they decided to build one anyway.

…

Huh?

Herbal medicine?

“What kind of herbal medicine?” they asked casually. They hadn’t heard of anyone locally growing any.

But the next moment, Zhang Yanping started winking and nodding:

“That kind, you know, that kind! You know what it does, right? Restores kidney function, boosts virility…”

He whispered, and the unexpected contrast against his dark, sturdy, and simple appearance truly shocked the two of them.

His secretive manner, as if he were discussing some state secret, then Zhang Yanping looked around and amped up the atmosphere of mystery:

“Our village has a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner that our Secretary Xiaozu went to great lengths to retain. The skill in prescribing medicine is outstanding–just so you know, the medicine made with our herbs, do you know its price? A neat 1,000 yuan!”

He gestured as he spoke.

He had heard it from Song Tan, one pill for 799 yuan, and he grinned from ear to ear and immediately forgave Doctor Guo for having a low opinion of him.

However, after a search, he still couldn’t find where Song Tan had placed the medicine.

Sigh! Money isn’t important; he just wanted to see if any customers were willing to buy at a discount.

Now, he spoke with even more sincerity.

Hiss–

The two inspection officials sharply inhaled, now looking at the Golden Sakura seeds that had been scooped clean and split in half with profound respect.

They then put on serious faces and repeatedly waved their hands: “No, no, no, we don’t need any. We’re climbing mountains and visiting villages every day, our health is still alright.”

Zhang Yanping didn’t think much of it.

After all, he hadn’t finished negotiating commissions with Doctor Guo yet. Complimenting someone’s products was purely a matter of hitting the mark whether there were dates to hit or not, a professional habit, that’s all.

Just as Aunt Lianhua washed a plate of peaches and brought them over to greet the guests, and when there was a gap, one person suddenly fell two steps behind and quietly asked:

“The doctor you mentioned, is his medicine reliable?”

Zhang Yanping: …!!!

The shock in his heart lasted only a moment, his instinct as a professional intermediary allowed him to keep a straight face, and now he lowered his voice gravely:

“You two are responsible for assessing our family’s subsidies! If the medicine had no effect, do you think I would dare to boast about it?”
