Chapter 1077: 1077 Medicine Merchant Chapter 1077: 1077 Medicine Merchant “Third brother, I’ve thought it through, and I don’t want to plant wheat in our fields,” Su Qingyue said.

“Then what does my wife want to plant?” Xiao Yuchuan bent down and reached out to touch her fair and beautiful jade cheek.

She said, “Aren’t you curious why I’ve been collecting medicinal herbs for the past half year, why the room is filled with herbs, and why I haven’t gone to the town to sell the medicine or dry the prepared herbs?”

He pondered for a moment, “Dear, are you thinking of opening your own pharmacy?”

“Third brother, you really are smart,” Su Qingyue said.

“I’ve looked into it.

The medicinal herbs the pharmacies in town buy aren’t cheap, and the medicine that the doctors prescribe turns out to be very expensive.

Many medicines are marked up exorbitantly.

I’m planning to open a medicine hall in town.”

“Wife, with your medical skill, opening a medicine hall couldn’t be better,” Xiao Yuchuan agreed.

“So you’re planning to plant medicinal herbs in our fields?”

“You’re indeed very smart,” Su Qingyue said.

“Although the purchase price for medicinal herbs is low right now, since it relies on people going into the mountains to collect them, there’s often a shortage of medicine, which can drive up the price of herbs during those times.

Compared to the usual purchasing price for herbs, the income from farming doesn’t come close.”

Xiao Yuchuan exclaimed, “Dear, who taught you this business acumen?

You’re incredible!”

“So how did third brother know I was planning on planting medicinal herbs?”

“In our storage room, there’s a spot filled with hemp bags containing nothing but medicinal seeds.

Seeing as they weren’t for processing, I guessed as much.”

“Now you know, third brother is also exceedingly shrewd.”

“Then when does my wife plan to start planting the medicinal herbs?”

Su Qingyue’s slender and graceful fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the lounger, “Now is not the time.

The reason the dried fern and bayberry wine were able to make a lot of money for our house this year is that we’re the only ones who had them.

Rarity breeds value.

Next year, when everyone rushes to make dried fern and produce bayberry wine to sell, they won’t be worth much.

The usual purchasing price for medicinal herbs isn’t low, and villagers who collect herbs to sell don’t make much money because many of them pick the wrong ones, and herbs are hard to find.

If I plant medicinal herbs, I won’t do it unless I can plant a lotaEUR” at least a thousand acres.

I want to become the largest medicinal herbs supplier in the nation!”

“Dear, your ambition already shows,” he replied.

She rolled her eyes, “What do you mean ‘shows’?

I will make it happen.”

He picked her up, sat where she had been lying, and made her sit on his thigh, “I believe it.”

“The first year I plant a large amount of medicinal herbs will definitely be the most profitable.

From the second year onward, others will surely imitate and start selling medicinal herbs too.

But once the market is established, even if the profit margins thin in subsequent years, it will still be a very good livelihood.

Planting a thousand acres of medicinal herbs is far beyond my current financial capabilities.

Moreover, even after growing the herbs, ensuring sales is key.

Otherwise, surplus stock would be worthless,” she thought aloud.

“Current demand has yet to be established.

It’s only an ideal for now, so let’s first start with opening the pharmacy.

We’ll start there.

Let’s keep our fields fallow for now, just in case.”

“Alright.

When does my wife plan to open the store in town?”

“Anytime is good,” she replied.

“When do you think is the best time to go?”

“I’ll follow my wife’s lead.”

Since Xiao Qinghe had gone to the backyard in his wheelchair, Su Qingyue wasn’t worried about him overhearing.

Footsteps sounded outside the courtyard door, and Xiao Yishan’s tall and sturdy figure walked in, “Third brother, Yue’er, you’re both here.”
