Chapter 184: You already have more than a dozen Ganoderma Kings.

Hua Mi waited in Xiang City’s supply depot for Chi Chuan, continuously organizing the straw matting in storage level 17.

She checked the fruits in Level 17 storage again, aside from oranges, grapefruits, and apples, the production of cherries, pomegranates, kiwis, and honey melons had also increased.

Hua Mi took all these fruits out and placed them in Xiang City’s supply depot, making room in her own Level 17 storage.

The survivors working outside had reached their break time for meals, and everyone formed a queue to get food.

Someone excitedly said to the person behind, "I think I saw something; besides the meal, does everyone get two pomegranates?"

"Really? Wasn’t there nothing for dessert?"

"This isn’t the dessert for the two o’clock meal, this fruit is now a standard part of every meal."

Someone explained to the survivors waiting in line.

At this time, the contractor was still firing up the survivors, encouraging everyone to work hard with the promise that if they did so, stable days with bread and milk would come.

Faced with abundant food, this kind of pep talk became somewhat credible.

After all, the meals were indeed good, and the survivors had seen this for themselves.

Zhu Xianjun became increasingly disdainful of this. Now they were under the Garrison’s watchful eyes, and he couldn’t expose his remaining Little Gangsters.

Otherwise, he would have long ordered them to confiscate all the fruit the survivors were holding.

Soon after, Zhu Xianjun instructed his Little Gangsters to quietly leave the survivor line and follow Hua Mi, ready to ambush the "stinking bitch"...

When Chi Chuan’s car arrived, Hua Mi said something to Tang You.

Sister Hua was going to buy medicinal herbs, and Tang You couldn’t stop her.

But considering Hua Mi’s current physical condition, he found two Garrison members to follow and protect Hua Mi. As long as she didn’t head to City A, she could go wherever she wanted.

Hua Mi and her group rode directly to the medical market in Xiang City.

The Jelly Water supply in Xiang City was also under control; Fang Yuqi had done well. Despite the long spell of rain, there was only a thin layer of Jelly Water on the roads.

Knowing Hua Mi had entered Xiang City, Fang Yuqi brought 10 Garrison members, each with an AK47 strapped to their back.

Fang Yuqi had sourced 10 temporary Garrison members at Tang You’s suggestion, prepared to help transport the medicinal materials.

Once again they saw Chi Chuan’s friend’s friend, the medicinal herb merchant Zhong Changjin, his face all smiles, pointing to a dark street ahead,

"This was the former traditional Chinese medicine street, where the entire street sold traditional Chinese medicine, everything from Cordyceps to saffron, ginseng, Gastrodia, donkey-hide gelatin, Hippocampus, musk, Gastrodia, ambergris, Lingzhi... could be found here."

As Zhong Changjin spoke, his rain-soaked face showed a sense of nostalgia.

The Xiang City External Medicine Wholesale Market was once the largest medical wholesale market in the southern region of the continent.

Traditional Chinese medicine only accounted for a small portion of this large medical wholesale market.

"In the past few months, the western medications here gradually got looted. They didn’t have the conditions to decoct traditional Chinese medicine, so our Chinese medicinal herbs were preserved,"

Zhong Changjin continued, leading Hua Mi and her group

It wasn’t clear who started looting the medicine first, but at the beginning, the market’s owners could still organize a united resistance against the survivors raiding the medical market.

Later, as the market owners dwindled, this large medical market--after several rounds of destructive looting--was stripped of almost all the western medications with clear therapeutic effects.

The power of the masses was terrifying. Now in the large medical market, it was almost impossible to find a single packet of medicine pills.

Speaking so, Zhong Changjin led the group into the market.

Everyone held up the flashlights provided by Hua Mi and made their way inside, arriving in front of the warehouse.

Even before they got close to the warehouse, a rich herbal fragrance could be detected.

They also listened to Zhong Changjin ramble on,

"I rented a large warehouse here, the moisture-proofing is quite good. The warehouse owner is nowhere to be found now, hasn’t come out to collect rent for months; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to preserve the goods in this warehouse."

In these times, it’s all too easy to give up due to various difficulties.

Zhong Changjin had also struggled to get by.

If not for the good moisture-proofing of this warehouse and the disappearance of the landlord not collecting rent, he would have long given up on these herbs and not bothered with them.

And he wouldn’t have waited for Hua Mi to come and purchase his medicinal materials.

Hua Mi walked over to a pile of Sichuan bayberry, took out a bag and opened it. She couldn’t tell the quality of the herbs, only knowing that the Sichuan bayberry in her hand was full, milky white, and smooth on the surface.

"Miss Hua, all of this is top-quality Conpoy."

Zhong Changjin brought over a bag of Cowrie to show Hua Mi the differences,

"This Sichuan bayberry, there are Conpoy, Green Shell, and Cowrie. All of mine are top-quality goods. Otherwise, how could I bear to discard these items..."

He explained the medicinal herbs he was holding, and his honest face seemed to glow, his eyes revealing the same persistence as Ke Minghong.

Hua Mi turned her head, not looking at the Sichuan bayberry in her hands, but instead looking at Zhong Changjin; she understood people like him.

For one thing, they have an almost obsessive dedication and love, delving deep and continuously researching in a particular field.

To cut off their passion is like slaughtering them, making them suffer.

Zhong Changjin loved Chinese medicine, and he was deeply immersed in this field.

Hua Mi cleared her throat, after listening to Zhong Changjin’s rambling introduction of the three kinds of Sichuan bayberry, he began to talk about Minbei, Pimpernelle, Raw shell, Northern Shell...

She interrupted Zhong Changjin,

"Let’s buy these medicinal materials at your previous selling price. Whatever price you sold to others before, I’ll buy at that price. You can also use this money to buy supplies in Xiang City and B City in the future."

As soon as she said this, not only did Zhong Changjin freeze, but so did Chi Chuan.

Buying at the previous selling price, in these times, without pressing down the price?

You should know, a Contractor could use 200,000 to buy a 20-carat diamond, let alone these Chinese herbs that one didn’t know when could be sold.

Then, they heard Hua Mi say,

"In addition, I have some Lingzhi. I was thinking about stir-frying it for the Garrison as a side dish. Could you help me see how to best utilize Lingzhi’s effects?"

Stir-frying Lingzhi, as a side dish?

Zhong Changjin wondered if he had heard incorrectly.

Then, he saw Hua Mi take out a fresh purple Ganoderma, as big as a faceplate, from her raincoat.

She spoke with a look of nonchalance on her face,

"This one is only this big. The Garrison eats from a big pot. I reckon that to stir-fry a big pot, we’d need to cut more than a dozen Lingzhi."

"This..."

Zhong Changjin leaned in to look at the Purple Ganoderma in Hua Mi’s hands.

He suddenly bowed deeply to Hua Mi, his face full of sincerity,

"My apologies, you’re someone with over a dozen Ganoderma Kings, you must be a senior expert in our field, what I said earlier was out of place."
