Chapter 170
Zhang Guicai's herb business is getting bigger and bigger.

People from ten miles and eight villages heard that they bought medicinal herbs for 25 Wen a catty, and organized gangs to hire bullock carts to deliver medicinal herbs to their homes. The medicinal herbs hoarded in cloth bags couldn’t fit in the house, and they even built a shed in the yard to stockpile medicinal herbs. .

Li Zhaodi's business of purchasing medicinal herbs is in full swing.

Yeran tried to be quiet, and took the family out to dig herbs every morning and afternoon when the sun was getting smaller.

What she taught the villagers before was just some common medicinal herbs.

The village was raided by people, but Ye Ran couldn't be troubled. All the herbs in the world can be used as medicine, and there are many medicinal materials that can be collected on the nearby low slopes.

As long as you don't go deep into the mountains, it doesn't count as a violation of the order to close the mountains.

Even though autumn is approaching, the sun is still very hot when there is no wind blowing on the lake.

When the sun was shining, Ye Ran taught Yue'er and Xing'er to read and recognize the three-character scriptures at home.

Yue'er and Xing'er are the kind of children with a lot of wisdom. They can teach a word up to three times, and the two little guys can basically memorize it. After more than ten days of effort, a pair of little guys can read half of the three-character scripture.

Yeran was drying medicinal herbs in the yard, and when she heard the sound of reading aloud from the room, the childish voice entered Yeran's ears and filled her heart, it was a kind of spontaneous satisfaction , She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then paused for a moment with the hand holding the herb.

"Raniang, Ranniang, do you think it's strange?"

Wiping her sweat, Aunt Wu pushed open the fence door and came in: "Your Uncle He said that Zhang Guicai's family hired his boat ten days ago and ordered people to send medicinal herbs to the town, but they haven't delivered them to Xiaoze Town these days. Medicinal herbs, his family hoarded more and more medicinal herbs, and they couldn’t pile them up in the house, and I heard that they couldn’t even find a place to lay their feet, so they had to pile them up in the newly built thatched shed outside, which took up half of the yard.”

What's so weird about this?

Zhang Guicai's family has been purchasing, and Yuanjitang can't eat such a large amount of herbs.

Li Zhaodi's aunt is also using the name of the Xiao family, and Yuanjitang dare not lose face to the Xiao family, so she must be helping to find other merchants to buy herbs.

Those are common medicinal herbs, which are not worth much at first, and the wholesale price at the state capital is [-] cents a catty.

Yuanjitang bought it at twenty cents a catty, which is already a high price.

It is not easy to find a buyer who can buy a lot and can afford [-] Wen. It is estimated that Yuanjitang will not offend the Xiao family, and has been struggling to find a buyer for Li Zhaodi's aunt.

Therefore, the medicinal herbs in Zhang Guicai's family piled up more and more.

Ye Ran estimated that Li Zhaodi's hoarded herbs in her family might be worth thousands of catties. Based on the purchase price of 25 taels per catty, the purchase price of the herbs alone has already given 25 taels of silver.

This is not counting the five cents per catty of herbs that were sent to Yuanjitang before.

In order to buy medicinal herbs, you have to hire someone to help, plus the gold and medicine fees for treating Zhang Guicai's injuries from the herbal doctor Wen and the money spent on the members of the Zhang family.

After Li Zhaodi's aunt lived in Xiushui Village, she took out about 50 taels of silver.

She has been serving the Xiao family for so many years, no matter how rich the small coffers she has accumulated, this time her vitality will be severely damaged.

Yeran finally waited until his family had a mountain of medicinal herbs, and it was time to make a move.

Ye Ran thought of Yin Tian when there was something about a partner defrauding others.

For ten days, I haven't seen anyone else!

What the hell is he doing after disappearing for so many days?
Ye Ran threw the piece of medicinal material in her hand on the bamboo mat, stood up and said, "Ma'am, look at the moon and stars, I have something to go out for."
