Chapter 30 Wild Herbs
Wen Fei, who had escaped for no reason, went home and found that the Taoist robe on his body had been cut a hole for some reason, and he couldn't help but curse: "What kind of Taoist robe is that this kind of quality is still worth 15..."
I didn't notice the anti-sting suit I was wearing at all, and I made great contributions. It was also because the smelting technology in the Northern Song Dynasty was too far-reaching. The blade edge was sharp, but the result was too brittle. If I tried harder, I would collapse.

This is not Wen Fei's home, but a house rented in a countryside. It is just a small yard, and the rent is not expensive, so it is very suitable to rent it. As Wen Fei's business gradually expands, it is no longer convenient to go in and out of the community. Moreover, this is also easy to swear that fat man Zhang Yu, so as not to always hear Wen Fei say that he has gone to the countryside, but has never been there before.
This house is not the kind of small villa that is common in rural areas nowadays, but also an old-fashioned two flat-top cement house. The whole family is working outside the country, and the house is quiet and no one can disturb it.
Wen Fei pushed a cart and suddenly appeared from the air. Fortunately, this was in a locked house, otherwise it would be scared to death by someone to see it.
This time, Wen Fei really bought the medicinal materials in the cart, all of which were Codonopsis and Mountain Essence, which were 200 to 300 kilograms, but the otaku who rarely did physical labor was exhausted. He gasped for a long time, and did not care about the medicinal materials. He sat on the stool for a long time and gasped for a long time.
"So that's it, so that's it! I'm still wondering how there is such a lively market where the broken Mule and Horse Market is not located in front of the village or the shop behind. It turns out that there is actually a place where the Qiang Party and Xiangfan tribe returns to trade!"
Wen Fei has been wondering that the broken place of Mule and Horse Market is not even a village around it for more than ten miles, and I don’t know why the common people and villagers would run so far to the market. Now I know that this place is mainly where the transactions with the foreign ministries are.
The Song Dynasty prohibited private transactions with foreign officials, but those foreigners were inseparable from the Song Dynasty's tea fabrics and other things. Ordinary people also hoped to buy some livestock and other things from the foreign officials, and both sides had their own needs. So they had this mule and horse gathering that avoided the private transactions of the imperial court.
When Wen Fei started to go, it happened that those tribes always lived in water and grass. In winter, the tribes moved to other places. Now the weather is getting warmer, but they have begun to move back. Mules and horses are really lively, and the real big business has just begun!
An excitement flashed in Wen Fei's eyes. He had already found out that it would take him a long time to go back to Yi. Not only will many big fans come, but even many big merchants from the mainland will come back and for Yi. From summer to autumn, this is the real lively day for the Mule and Horse Club!
Without a car, it is not very convenient to go back to the city. In recent years, the roads in rural areas have been well built, with cement roads everywhere and flat. If you buy a car, that's good. Wen Fei thought about whether he should buy a car with his own net worth, and he doesn't have a good car, just a pickup truck. It's also convenient to pick up goods.
Carrying a bag of Chinese herbal medicines for samples, Heiba, which was squeezed into the urban and rural areas, shaking for several hours, finally returned to the city. Wenfei has become more and more intense these days.
When I came to Baohetang all the way, Dr. Ye was decorating medicine using a small stove at the door. When he saw Wen Fei, he said, "Young man, you look much better. I have prepared the medicine you asked me to help with last time. I was thinking about why you haven't come to get it!"
Wen Fei laughed and said, "Don't you need a doctor's prescription to get medicine now? Do you dare to take medicine with confidence if I give you the prescription?"
Dr. Ye waved his hand imposingly and said, "Nonsense, I have been sick for decades. What Chinese medicine prescriptions can't tell whether it's good or bad? Hey, what are you holding in your hand?"
Wen Fei showed the medicinal materials in the bag to Dr. Ye. These were not too expensive medicinal materials. But when Dr. Ye looked at it, he was moved and asked, "Where did you get such authentic medicinal materials? I haven't seen such good medicinal materials in more than ten years, and they seem to be wild."
Wen Fei laughed: "Is there any difference between wild medicinal materials and grown medicinal materials?"
"Nonsense, you can eat domestic pork in rural areas. Can it taste the same as the feed pigs in pig farms? Nowadays, these medicinal materials grown are not effective enough. Last time, an old friend of mine told me that even twice the dose of aconite did not kill people..."
Dr. Ye was obviously very talkative, but it seemed a bit embarrassing to say something all of a sudden. After all, people who know this kind of thing are fine. They know that the current Chinese herbal medicines are getting weaker and weaker due to various relationships such as soil, planting, etc. The prescriptions handed down from ancient times now need to increase the dose to achieve the same effect. If a person who doesn't understand it, it will be a medical accident if it is not big or small.
Wen Fei ignored what was revealed in Dr. Ye’s words just now, and just asked mysteriously: “Then, how much is this thing for me worth?”
"Then you have to divide the white strips and small strips, but your Codonopsis pilosula looks obviously wild, with branches... about 108 yuan per pound! Why, do you have the goods in your hands? The jujube seeds are about 50 yuan, and I can give you a higher price." Speaking of business, Dr. Ye doesn't look like an old man with a broken mouth, and he has become smarter.
Wen Fei calculated that the medicinal materials he collected were about ten cents per kilogram. He now understood that in the Northern Song Dynasty, a copper coin calculated based on purchasing power was about two or three cents in modern times, rather than about one yuan as imagined at the beginning. In short, his purchase price was only two or three yuan per kilogram, and it was cost-effective to sell it.
Of course, it is even more valuable to buy copper coins back and sell them as antiques. However, Wen Fei didn’t want to keep selling copper coins in the Northern Song Dynasty. It’s rare to be expensive. If you sell too much, others will doubt it. Even if it impacts the ancient coin market, it will be bad.
"Then let's just say that!" Wen Fei was overjoyed: "I still have two or three hundred kilograms on my hands now. If you want to leave, I can supply them for a long time."
After the price was negotiated, the amount was 30,000 to 40,000 yuan this time. There was a bag of golden sand in my arms, and Wen Fei felt happy and walked straight to Changyu's store.
Changyu's business is cold and most of the shops sell some artworks, which are sold to those artful people to take back for decoration. It's like discounted brands purchased in online stores, although you know very clearly that this is actually a high imitation!
