Chapter 197: Chapter 196, are you the undercover that Xu Wendong arranged to be by our side?
Wang San’s mindset crumbled.
He went to the village committee just to see if Xu Wendong had been bitten to death by the two treasures he had raised.
But he never dreamed that the first thing he would hear was, "How did you know I killed another snake?"
This made him wish he could chop Xu Wendong into pieces and stew him in soup.
"I-I-I... I just saw a weasel run into the village committee courtyard and thought I’d let you know." Wang San smiled awkwardly, "Never mind, never mind, you all carry on!"
Saying that, he turned and walked away.
"Brother San, don’t leave, have some snake stew before you go!" Xu Wendong said with a smile that carried an intriguing meaning, which almost made Wang San stumble and fall.
He didn’t go home but went to find his second brother and fifth brother.
"It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for your idea to let me release the big and little treasures, how would my two treasures have been killed by Xu Wendong?" Wang San angrily kicked Wang Wu.
"Brother San, it’s not my fault; it was second brother who came up with this idea!" Wang Wu looked wronged, apparently not expecting Xu Wendong to have killed Brother San’s two treasures again.
"Old San, they were just two snakes, no need to get so mad." Wang Er said, sipping his morning drink, "We underestimated Xu Wendong’s capability, but he injured old Wu and killed your two treasures, so we must get revenge for this!"
Wang Wu’s eyes sparkled, "Second brother, how about we just kill him? Yes, right now, I’ll go sharpen the knife!"
Wang Er suddenly got angry and kicked over the table, "You dog, can you use your brain for once?"
"Then what should we do?" Wang Wu was immediately deflated and didn’t dare to breathe heavily.
Wang Er’s eyes were cold, like those of a snake, making people shiver, "Xu Wendong is a doctor sent here by the county. If we kill him, we’ll surely be shot and won’t be able to escape."
He paused.
He looked at Wang Wu, "You said earlier that Xu Wendong went into the mountains to gather herbs yesterday afternoon?"
Wang Wu nodded, "Yeah!"
Wang Er grinned, "Then tell him the location of that Old Mountain Ginseng in the mountains."
"Second brother, are you crazy?" Wang Wu looked shocked, "That Old Mountain Ginseng is decades old. If sold, it would be worth at least tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands. Why should we let Xu Wendong have it?"
"Are you the mole Xu Wendong sent among us?"
Wang San also looked suspicious.
It seemed that old Wu had a point, after all, his two precious snakes became ingredients for Xu Wendong because of second brother’s suggestion.
"You know nothing, you fool!" Wang Er said irritably, "I know that Old Mountain Ginseng is very valuable, but do you dare to pick it? Can you dig it up and survive?"
Wang Wu became silent again.
He knew the location of the Old Mountain Ginseng, near the wolf den deep in the forest. The brothers had once targeted that Old Mountain Ginseng.
Though their roles were clear, old Four stayed in the mountains forever, becoming food for those hungry wolves.
Wang San’s eyes brightened, and he said excitedly, "Second brother, you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, lead Xu Wendong to the wolf den, and let the wolves kill him?"
Wang Wu also gave a thumbs up, "Second brother is second brother, this plan is brilliant. Don’t worry, I’ll subtly leak this news to Xu Wendong, and let him meet his end in the wolves’ mouths."

After Xu Wendong and Su Li had breakfast, they went to Zhao Ranran’s front door. At that time, Zhao Ranran had also called a few village women to help pick ripe persimmons and hawthorns.
Meanwhile, she mentioned that Su Li had already helped her find a market for them.
Naturally, the villagers didn’t believe it. Although Su Li had cut her hair, she still hadn’t gained their approval.
However, they didn’t say much, and more than a dozen people went to the foot of North Mountain, where Zhao Ranran’s persimmon garden was located. From a distance, it looked golden and full of large fruit, and the air was filled with its sweet fragrance.
Zhao Ranran grew crispy sweet persimmons that could be eaten directly. They had a crisp and refreshing taste, sweet and juicy, leaving you wanting more. But Xu Wendong didn’t eat too much.
As a doctor, he knew that persimmons shouldn’t be consumed in excess, as eating too many could lead to gallstones, and they couldn’t be eaten with duck or alcohol, or it would cause abdominal pain.
Even though Xu Wendong had just arrived in Qingshan Village, he was well-liked, and many even asked if he had a girlfriend, thinking of introducing someone.
To this, Xu Wendong could only politely decline.
Girlfriend?
Ha!
Impossible!
I’ll never find a girlfriend in this lifetime; I’ll only look for—bedmates.
After a busy entire day, the group loaded the selected persimmons and hawthorns onto a tractor. A woman named Hehua drove it along a winding mountain road towards the town.
Xu Wendong rode a motorized tricycle behind, with Su Li and Zhao Ranran sitting on it.
When they were about two kilometers from the town, they saw a supermarket procurement truck and a small pickup truck.
After a brief self-introduction, the supermarket’s purchasing manager, Manager Liu, tasted the sweet persimmons grown by Zhao Ranran and gave a very high evaluation, "The persimmons from your village are of high quality, crisp and sweet with no residue."
Zhao Ranran excitedly asked, "So how much are my persimmons worth?"
Manager Liu thought for a moment and held up four fingers.
"Forty cents? That’s not any more than the market price!" Zhao Ranran looked disappointed but then smiled, "As long as you can buy all the persimmons from my family, thirty-five cents works too!"
Last year, she only sold persimmons in the town for fifty cents. Forty cents was slightly lower than retail, but if she could sell them all, it would save her a lot of trouble.
"Huh?" Manager Liu looked confused, "What forty cents? I meant four yuan!"
Boom!
When Manager Liu said four yuan, everyone was taken aback. For farmers, that was an astronomical figure.
"Manager Liu, you’re not joking, right? Are my persimmons really worth four yuan a pound?" Zhao Ranran’s heart raced. Her persimmon yield was high, and this year was the first "big harvest," with a yield of ten thousand pounds per acre.
If each pound was four yuan, then for five acres, it would be two hundred thousand yuan. Two hundred thousand!
Manager Liu smiled, "If you don’t believe it, we can sign a purchase contract. Our supermarket will take all your persimmons, provided the quality is guaranteed."
"Okay, okay, then from now on, all my persimmons will be sold to you!" Zhao Ranran was almost jumping with excitement.
After weighing, Manager Liu paid Zhao Ranran six thousand five hundred yuan and then returned to the county in the car. Zhao Ranran talked with the owner of that pickup truck about the price of hawthorns and was shocked when she found out.
The seemingly inconspicuous hawthorns were priced at eight yuan a pound.
She was incredibly excited. Although the hawthorn yield wasn’t as high as persimmons, at eight yuan a pound, each acre could earn twenty or thirty thousand yuan.
