Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 208 The older the age, the greater the medicinal value

As the young men in the threshing ground were discussing heatedly, Xu Yan had already walked far to the foot of a mountain. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he quickly hid his figure behind the weeds on a path and soon arrived at the place where he usually met Su Wanwan.

What he didn't expect was that Su Wanwan was busy with something far ahead.

When Xu Yan got closer, he saw that she was actually doing a simple classification of the herbs she had picked. At the moment, the herbs in the basket had been divided into several small piles by her.

"Why are you here?"

After sorting all the herbs in the basket, Su Wanwan clapped her hands in satisfaction. When she was about to get up and leave, she suddenly ran into Xu Yan who had been standing behind her for a long time.

A feeling of surprise spread throughout her body. She quickly turned around and pointed at the herbs on the ground. "You said before that the types and effects of each herb are different, so the selling prices are also different. Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I just sorted them. Remember not to mix them up when you take them away."

"Yeah." Xu Yan nodded, and as he spoke, he carefully put the herbs that Su Wanwan had sorted into the bag he brought with him.

"Why are there still two Ganoderma lucidum?" Just when Xu Yan was about to fill the bag, two Ganoderma lucidum suddenly appeared next to him, lying side by side on the ground.

Compared to the Ganoderma lucidum that they had accidentally seen one night before, these two Ganoderma lucidum were obviously not inferior to that one. If they were sold now, they could be sold for at least two hundred yuan.

"Oh, originally I just went up the mountain to pick some simple herbs, but who knew that I would be so lucky this morning, I just walked around the mountain and found two of these great treasures." As soon as Xu Yan asked the question, Su Wanwan answered happily.

Knowing that Ganoderma lucidum is a rare thing, Su Wanwan couldn't help but grin as she spoke.

Xu Yan, who was putting herbs into the bag, paused in mid-air and then withdrew his hand without putting the two Ganoderma lucidum on the ground into the bag.

Seeing this, Su Wanwan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there no channel to sell Ganoderma lucidum now?" If this is true, it would be a pity.

Su Wanwan revealed an expression that looked like regret as she spoke.

"That's not it."

After sealing the bag, Xu Yan turned around and smiled: "In our mountains, Ganoderma lucidum is a rare plant. Now it is late autumn, and autumn Ganoderma lucidum is richer in nutrients than Ganoderma lucidum in other seasons. It is a rare thing, so it is better to keep it for yourself instead of selling it."

Upon hearing what Xu Yan said, Su Wanwan nodded happily. Why didn’t she think about the commercial value of Ganoderma lucidum?

The current Ganoderma lucidum may be sold for nearly one hundred yuan, and the market conditions may be even better in a few years. After all, the marketization in a few years will cause the prices of many commodities to increase. Instead of selling the Ganoderma lucidum now, it is better to keep it in your hands for a few years and then sell it when you can get a good price.

"You make sense." Su Wanwan picked up the two Ganoderma lucidums on the ground, kept one for herself, and stuffed the other into Xu Yan's arms: "Then let's keep them well for now, and sell them when the price is higher in a few years."

After saying that, Su Wanwan couldn't help but wipe the dust off the Ganoderma lucidum with joy.

"What's in your little head all day long? You're obsessed with money." Xu Yan took the Ganoderma lucidum that Su Wanwan handed to him with a funny look, and he didn't even know what expression to make.

"Huh?" Su Wanwan was suddenly confused.

Isn’t this what Xu Yan meant?

"Although these ganoderma have greater medicinal value the longer they are stored, it is better to use them when they are needed, whether soaking them in wine or cooking them and chopping them into stuffing. Anyway, we can still collect new ganoderma next year."

When Xu Yan said this, Su Wanwan didn't know how to respond.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Seeing Su Wanwan standing there in a daze, Xu Yan picked up the bag full of herbs and also picked up Su Wanwan's basket. "As long as I'm here, you won't go hungry anymore. You don't have to think about making money all the time."

Su Wanwan suddenly felt a little sore in the nose and quickly lowered her head, pretending that there was sand on the soles of her shoes.

"It's hard for me to deal with this thing when I take it home. You can take it home and tell the village chief that you picked it up from the ground. I heard that the village chief usually drinks a little wine, so it's just right to use these Ganoderma lucidum to make wine."

Xu Yan also returned his Ganoderma lucidum to Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan: “…”

Xu Yan couldn’t take it home himself, so could she take it home smoothly?

Who would believe that she picked it up on the road... Why is it that she always brings back good things, while other young people can't pick them up...

Su Wanwan was secretly complaining in her heart, but she also had a sense of solid security.

Zhong Qingqing walked all the way back to the door of the educated youth dormitory from the village party secretary's office. After standing outside the door for a while, she turned around and returned to the threshing ground.

Li Meifen would completely disappear from the village in two days, so there was no need for her to have any more conflicts with her.

On the way back to the village threshing ground, Zhong Qingqing deliberately took a shortcut, rubbing her hands as she planned to walk through a deserted weed path to the threshing ground to help.

However, just as she walked into the weedy path, she suddenly heard some random voices.

Is there anyone here?

Zhong Qingqing pricked up her ears alertly.

There was nothing related to the production team nearby, and the village dormitories and houses were not in this direction. Even if someone wanted to go to the production team to work, it would be almost impossible for them to go in this direction.

Zhong Qingqing listened carefully and suddenly recognized the voice of one of the people who was laughing.

It’s Su Wanwan!

In an instant, Zhong Qingqing recalled some scenes that she had accidentally seen when she was working at the clinic.

Ever since that night when Xu Yan entered the mountains and quickly drove out, Zhong Qingqing had to associate Xu Yan with the surrounding mountains. Although she didn't know how Xu Yan made money specifically, some of the things Xu Yan bought with his money should be hidden in the mountains, right?

"The weather is now very cold, and there are almost no good herbs to pick in the mountains." Su Wanwan walked forward while rubbing her hands and blowing out air.

"Well, it will be even colder in two days, and it might even snow in winter, so it won't be suitable to go into the mountains to hunt." Xu Yan agreed. Even though he was carrying a basket and a large bag in his hands, his steps seemed even lighter than Su Wanwan's.

"But shouldn't the wild boars hibernate in the winter? Wouldn't it be easier to hunt them?" Su Wanwan was a little confused.

"Silly." Xu Yan responded with a smile, "Where have you heard that wild boars hibernate?"

"Huh?" Su Wanwan was speechless for a moment: "Then..."

"In winter, wild boars in both the north and south will not hibernate, but they will not have much to eat in winter, so they will find a secluded place to spend the winter. If you want to go hunting in the mountains in winter, you have to find their habitat first."
