After looking around, Gu Fengyan felt that what he said was a bit incoherent and was at a loss for a moment, "Me? Who likes me?"

"Tsk," Huo Duan became even more annoyed, frowning, "Who else could it be? The shop assistant! Didn't you see the way he looked at you? His eyes were wide open..."

While gesturing, he suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something important, "Mr. Gu, let me make it clear first, we don't have affairs during marriage!"

"Stop!" Gu Fengyan was both amused and helpless... He was cheating on his wife. If he was not stopped, Huo Duan would even come up with a nickname for his illegitimate child.

"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. We are friends who have lived together for a lifetime. You won't be cuckolded." He suppressed his laughter and said, "Let's go. We'll go back after we finish here. Didn't you stay up all night?"

After sending Ye Bao here, Huo Duan stayed up all night, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Shan and Ye Bixian, father and son, arrived in the early morning. However, he could not sleep.

Now that Ye Bao's fever had subsided, he began to feel sleepy.

"Go tell my uncle and the others. My aunt will be here this afternoon and Brother Xue hasn't left yet. We can just take the ox cart back." Huo Duan carried the sack that Gu Fengyan brought and went to tell Ye Bixian and the others.

The bag contained something unknown and was extremely heavy. It was surprising that Gu Fengyan, who was so frail, could actually carry the sack so far.

As soon as Ye Bixian and Ye Shan heard the news that Ye Bao was ill and sent to Xinglin Hospital, they rushed over without stopping at dawn and stayed by the bedside all the time.

The fever had subsided, but there were still some residual symptoms. Ye Bao's breathing when he was sleeping soundly sounded like a broken bellows, which made the father and son anxious.

Ye Bixian had no choice but to ask Mr. Lin, who was sitting in the hall today, to come and see. He was talking at the moment. Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan also followed and listened.

"It will be fine once the fever subsides. But your son has phlegm in his chest, which causes him to cough, feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. He needs to take a decoction of Inula japonica, Perilla seeds, Apricot kernels and Morus alba bark to be cured..."

There are a total of four doctors in Xinglin Hospital, who take turns to see patients. Ye Bao is blessed by God and meets Mr. Lin Ru, who has the most sophisticated medical skills among the four.

Lin Ru is in his fifties and looks like a gentle old goat, with a wisp of gray goatee on his chin.

He examined the patient, stroked his goatee and shook his head, "Although these herbs are not precious, it's a pity that your son's illness is really unfortunate. The other herbs in the hall are all there, but the one missing is Inula flower!"

Ye Bixian was immediately anxious when he heard this. "What should I do? Mr. Lin, Xiaobao is the apple of my eye and his mother's eye. Without him, I'm afraid his mother won't be able to survive. I beg you, please save Xiaobao!"

"Don't worry, your son is fine. I have sent my men to ask and they will buy the medicinal material as soon as it is available." Lin Ru comforted the patient's family, but he himself was worried.

The pharmacy has not had a stable supplier of medicinal materials, and has to rely on farmers nearby to collect them. Unfortunately, the farmers don't know how to prepare them, and the quality of the herbs varies, and most of them cannot be used as medicine... I'm afraid this kid from the Ye family can only rely on luck.

"Everyone wait, I will let you know as soon as I have any news. Your son will be fine." Whenever Lin Ru was in the hall, Xinglinyuan would be twice as busy as usual. However, before he could finish his words, a waiter came to urge him. He comforted him with a few words and was about to leave.

Gu Fengyan found a gap in the conversation and hurriedly called Lin Ru, "Mr. Lin, wait a minute. I have a few medicinal herbs here, and Inula flower is among them. Saving lives is important, why don't you see if you can use it?"

The villagers call the Inula japonica plant Golden Buddha Grass. It is simple to prepare. Gu Fengyan picked a lot of it when he went up the mountain a few days ago. He didn't expect that he would use it on his own family.

When Ye Bixian heard this, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Brother Yan, are you serious?"

"A few days ago, I went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and also picked some medicinal herbs, hoping to supplement the family income. I just don't know if the preparation is in accordance with the rules..." Gu Fengyan first revealed the fact that there were medicinal herbs on the mountain in the village, and then he felt more confident when proposing cooperation with Xinglinyuan.

Huo Duan opened the bag and added, "There are many medicinal herbs in the mountain behind the village, and Brother Yan knows them, otherwise they would be wasted. Mr. Lin, please see if you can use them."

When Lin Ru heard this, although he felt that the two people in front of him did not seem to be knowledgeable, he still tried to give it a try and took out the medicinal herbs to examine them carefully.

"Hmm..." After looking at it for a long time, the gloomy look between his brows disappeared, and he said happily, "Excellent! Excellent! I will ask the waiter to boil the medicine for me!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bixian and Ye Shan, father and son, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Gu Fengyan with gratitude in their eyes.

"This time it's all thanks to Yan Ge'er. When Xiaobao gets better someday, I'll ask your aunt to prepare delicious food for you." Ye Bixian said with a smile.

Gu Fengyan was naturally happy to be able to help, "We are all family, it's a bit polite for uncle to say this."

The waiter boiled the medicine and watched Ye Bao take it. Then Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan said goodbye to the father and son of the Ye family, coaxed Ye Bao who had woken up, and went out.

When they arrived at the door, just as Gu Fengyan had expected, they were stopped by Lin Ru.

"Gentlemen, do you want to sell these medicinal herbs? Could you please give me a favor and sell them to Xinglinyuan?" Lin Ru smiled amiably.

Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan smiled at each other, "To be honest with you, Mr. Lin, my husband and I were planning to do some medicinal materials business. I wonder what Xinglinyuan thinks?"

"I have some say in Xinglin Hospital. You two can rest assured that no matter how many medicinal materials you have in the future, our hospital will accept them all! There is just one thing... I hope the quality can be guaranteed. After all, it involves human lives, so we can't be careless!" Lin Ru said straightforwardly.

Medicinal materials are precious things, and it is rare to find someone who can prepare and identify them. Let alone this bag, even dozens or hundreds of kilograms are worth collecting.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin! We are both honest farmers and we would not do such irresponsible things." Huo Duan continued, "But we also have some hope that Xinglinyuan can do it."

Lin Ru thought for a moment and said, "You two can talk as you please."

Huo Duan smiled lightly, "We have no control over other territories, but in the territory of Heqing Village, I hope Xinglinyuan will only accept medicinal materials from our family!"

Regional monopoly. They couldn't expect Xinglinyuan to only accept their medicinal materials, and Xinglinyuan would not agree. But if they restricted the region, it was not certain... Huo Duan was really a fox!

Gu Fengyan was filled with admiration.

Hearing this, Lin Ru was also shocked... He thought that the couple were just ordinary people who were greedy for a little profit, but he didn't expect them to be able to think of this.

"This is simple." He thought for a moment and said.

For Xinglinyuan, this request would not cause any loss. Besides, there were probably only these two people in Heqing Village who could guarantee the quality of the preparation of medicinal materials.

Huo Duan was still worried, so he wrote a modern contract. Both parties agreed on compensation for breach of contract, and Party A and Party B signed it.

The deal was finally done.

For a sack of medicinal materials, Lin Ru gave them a total of one string of money according to the current market price, and sold them twenty kilograms of spring bamboo shoots for two hundred coins.

The two hundred coins in one string felt heavy in their hands. Gu Fengyan and Huo Duan felt like they had never seen money for the first time in their lives. They were so moved that they almost burst into tears.

Then he went to East Street to buy some tomatoes, cucumbers, green vegetables, pepper seedlings, ten chicks, and ten ducklings, and then he took a ox cart back home.

After spending three hundred coins on shopping, he still had nine hundred coins left out of his banknote. Together with the one hundred coins he got last time, that was the entire fortune of the Huo family.

Gu Fengyan looked up to the sky and sighed, realizing that making money was not easy.

The dead system in Huo Duan's brain came back to life.

drop--

"Your task progress has reached one ten-thousandth, please keep working hard!"

One in ten thousand... Huo Duan didn't even know what to feel for a moment.

Father Huo watched his son and daughter-in-law carrying large and small baskets of things into the yard, and almost thought that the two were doing something murderous or arson.

"What's going on, Erdan? Where did these things come from?" The chickens and ducklings in the yard were running around pecking at food. Father Huo was happy to see them, but he was still a little worried.

Gu Fengyan washed his hands and took a broom to drive the chickens and ducklings under the peach tree. "Don't worry, Dad. Brother Duan and I have made money and have even discussed cooperation with the county's big pharmacy... In the future, just tell us if you need anything."

Father Huo's eyes widened, "Really?"

"Really." Huo Duan said.

Father Huo smiled from ear to ear, "That's great, I'm half buried in the ground, what can I need? Save the money you have and pay back the head of the village and your aunt first, and don't spend the rest carelessly, save it..."

After all, when we have children in the future, the expenses will only be greater... Father Huo thought.

"Father is right." Gu Fengyan just agreed.

After preparing a simple meal, Huo Duan ate and then went to his bedroom to catch up on some sleep.

Huo Adie and Gu Fengyan were in the yard watching the chicks and ducklings eat. Huo Adie was weaving baskets and winnowing baskets, and Gu Fengyan was clumsily learning to weave small baskets for fun.

The whole afternoon passed like this.

Huo Duan woke up and urged Gu Fengyan to prepare lunch.

When the weather was cool, we ate at the stone table under the peach tree. The meal was simple, a plate of stir-fried water celery, a plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon... Since we had some money, we naturally ate white rice.

After the meal, as a way to help digestion, Huo Duan and Gu Fengyan took some vegetable seeds to plant behind the house, and at the same time built a small circle for the chickens and ducklings to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Let's go see Doctor Liang in a few days to get some feedback first." Gu Fengyan buried the seedlings in rows and covered them with a thin layer of soil.

Huo Duan dug a small pit in front. The two people who had never been on the ground did it very well. "We have to wait for this. We can't rush it."

"Huh?" Gu Fengyan was puzzled.

"If the temptation is not big enough, Doctor Liang may not agree." Huo Duan dug a hole and helped to plant it. "Let's start the business first and not touch the herbs with rigorous and complicated processing steps for the time being. Let him see the benefits. When the business starts to pick up a little, it won't be too late to discuss it with him."

Gu Fengyan estimated that all the medicinal herbs on the mountain could be sold for a considerable sum, even without using Doctor Liang.

"That makes sense... Mr. Huo, you are really an old fox!" Gu Fengyan exclaimed.

Huo Duan sighed, "Are you praising me or scolding me?"

"How can I say that? Foxes are so cute." Gu Fengyan said with a smile, "I just want to learn from Mr. Huo."

Huo Duan raised his tail again, looking proud, "Yeah, yeah, but Master Gu, you don't have to learn from me... You are very good, the best I have ever seen."

"Save what you said for later when you go back to pick up girls. Even though it sounds a bit rustic and greasy, considering your looks, it's fair." After hearing this, Gu Fengyan suddenly felt hot in his ears and muttered.

Huo Duan looked confused, "Really?"

The author has something to say: "For cough with a lot of phlegm, chest tightness and shortness of breath: 10g of Inula japonica flower, 6g of Apricot kernel, 10g of Morus alba bark, and 10g of Perilla seed. Decoction in water." - "Illustrated Chinese Herbal Medicine Collection"
