"Thank you Mr. Zhao." Ji Nian took it with a smile on his face.

"Although you have already paid you a salary, today's work cannot be stopped. You will be fine after finishing today. Go, there are a few people who come to sell loose medicinal materials over there. Go and go over and take a palm." Zhao Jingluo looked at him slightly and said casually.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Ji Nian packed the envelope into her bag, turned around and walked towards the moon arch in the backyard.

Backyard east yard.

The air is filled with a unique smell of various medicinal materials. The entire backyard is used to purchase medicinal materials. However, even so, there are differences. For example, the east yard in front of you is only purchasing one kind of medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials mentioned here are actually very simple, they are medicinal materials sold by retail investors from all over the country. There is another rule passed down by the ancestors of Qihuang Pavilion that cannot be violated: no channels for purchasing bulk medicinal materials are allowed at any time. It cannot be said that you have a large-scale purchase channel and ignore this channel.

There are allusions to this kind of rule.

It is said that the older generation of Qihuang Pavilion missed several precious Chinese medicinal materials because they did not pay attention to the acquisition of bulk medicinal materials, which not only made the other peers famous, but they almost made Qihuang Pavilion go bankrupt. Fortunately, the Qihuang Pavilion was born. When the Chen family was about to go bankrupt due to out of stock, a mountain dog came over with several baskets of Chinese medicinal materials and found several equally precious medicinal materials from it, which helped Qihuang Pavilion get through the difficulties.

After this incident, the ancestors of the Chen family set rules that no one can block the acquisition channels for the purchase of powdered medicinal materials at any time, because you don’t know if there are any scarce and precious medicinal materials among them for you to use. At the same time, purchasing powdered medicinal materials seems to be a way to make money for the other party, but in fact it also leaves a way out for yourself.

Since Ji Nian has been here for part-time work, he has spent most of his time here.

"The Little New Year is here."

When Ji Nian walked into the east yard, a middle-aged man in his thirties stood up and smiled and greeted him. This was a person with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary figure, and an ordinary dress. His name was Lu Shanling, and he was Zhao Jingluo's apprentice. He was not the nominal apprentice, but a real disciple.

Among Zhao Jingluo's three disciples, Lu Shanling is the youngest. Although he has not yet started his education, he has benefited a lot because he has been following the teacher and is willing to accept it.

Unlike some people who have not yet learned knowledge, they are eager to go out and work alone earlier. A sentence that Lu Shanling often says is: As long as he can learn skills, it doesn’t matter whether he or she is a teacher. He is honest and sincere, and has a good reputation in this branch. 1

"Brother Lu, Mr. Zhao asked me to come and help." Ji Nian walked forward with a smile.

"Okay, I can speed up the identification with you. But have you recovered? You kid are really capable. You dare to jump into the river to save people even if it rains so heavily. Just rushing to this is worthy of my admiration." Lu Shanling raised his hand and beat Ji Nian's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Lu, you are so complimenting. My health is fine. I'm working hard first."

"Well, go, there are three more companies waiting for identification, so I'll leave it to you."

"Okay."

There are now a total of ten retail investors waiting to sell medicinal materials in the east courtyard. From their dress, Ji Nian recognized them at a glance as villagers from Damengshan, Zihuai County, Zhonghai, because only the people there would come to Qihuang Pavilion to sell medicinal materials. If it were other places, no one would do this, and no one could find medicinal materials.

These residents next to Damengshan often go up the mountain to pick medicinal materials, and then sell them in the city to earn some money and subsidy for family income. They can be considered as relying on the mountain to earn money.

"Hello Uncle Fu, you are here to sell medicinal materials again. It's so hard to pick medicinal materials at such an old age." Ji Nian stood in front of an old man and greeted him happily.

The old man was tall and thin, wearing a dark gray shirt, his weathered face was covered with deep wrinkles, and his eyes became a little turbid due to the erosion of time. But he was full of energy and showed no signs of decadence. Seeing Ji Nian coming to talk to him, Liang Anfu grinned on his face, revealing his teeth that were full of smoke.

"Xiao Nian, the old man is here to trouble you again."

"What are you saying? This is what I should do, and it is my duty. Are these people brought by you? The amount of medicinal materials you brought this time is quite large." Ji Nian walked to the front of the medicine basket with a smile, picked up a few pieces and put them on the end of his nose and said with a slight smell.

"Yes, they were all brought by me, and they were all herb collectors in our nearby villages. You don't know that they used to sell them to other pharmacies, but later they heard me say that the price you gave here was really good, so they all asked me to bring them here. In the future, the medicinal materials we picked and the medicinal materials we had dried at home will be sold to you Qihuang Pavilion." Liang Anfu pointed at the few people around him with a thin finger and introduced to Ji Nian with a smile.

"That's good. Uncle Fu, our Qihuang Pavilion has a reputation. As long as the medicinal materials you brought are real, the price given will be absolutely fair. I dare not say anything else. Looking at the entire Zhonghai, Qihuang Pavilion is definitely the first in this matter." Ji Nian said confidently.

It cannot be said that because I am leaving Qihuang Pavilion in the afternoon, I will not help me speak here. Of course, Ji Nianhui said this because it was the fact that it was revealed. Although Zhonghai is not the only medicinal material shop, the rest are not of scale and weather, so it is naturally impossible to purchase bulk medicinal materials at a high price.

"That's the reason. We came here for the Qihuang Pavilion's signature. Xiaonian, show us how much these medicinal materials can be sold." Liang Anfu asked the two people around him to move the medicine basket forward so that Ji Nian can come to identify it.

"Well, Uncle Fu, I'll take a look first."

Ji Nian met Liang Anfu because this old man had been selling medicinal materials for the fourth time during the summer vacation. Ji Nian was responsible for the reception every time he came here. He trusted the quality of the medicinal materials collected by the old man, and Liang Anfu also believed in Ji Nian very much.

A basket of medicinal materials was poured into a basket, and they were selected and placed by Ji Nian's hands. These were basically medicinal materials that had just been picked and did not have an astonishing age. Moreover, it was not the first time he did this, Ji Nian was very quick to move.

When the last medicine basket was left, Ji Nian had just poured out all the medicines. When he was about to be identified, his body suddenly trembled slightly, his eyes stared at the bottom of the medicine basket, and his face showed an incredible look of surprise. It was just because of his bowing his head, no one could see this surprise except him.

"Hey, it's not such a coincidence, right? I actually got lucky?" Ji Nian was shocked as if he was crazy.

Because just now, when Ji Nian touched the bottom of the medicine basket, the vitality that was originally floating quietly in his palm began to rotate, vaguely revealing a very strong desire, as if he was eager to swallow the things in front of him.

Could it be that this medicine basket is strange? It is impossible, it is definitely not a medicine basket. Ji Nian can be sure that this medicine basket is no different from the previous two, and is made of the most ordinary thorny strips. If it weren't for the medicine basket, it would be the wooden strip lying at the bottom of the medicine basket. This wooden strip is about 30 cm long, black and uneven, and no one can see it as a treasure, but will definitely look at it as a fire stick.

However, it was this waste material that brought the strong desire to swallow the vitality in his body, Ji Nian was a little stunned for a moment.

This medicine basket was brought by a middle-aged man in his thirties. He has a medium figure and a national face. Perhaps because he often works in the countryside, his skin looks a little rough. He is wearing a sea blue T-shirt and his eyes are nervously looking at Ji Nian. He knows very well how much his medicinal materials can be sold, and the comments given by Ji Nian are crucial.

The first two medicine baskets are fine, but why does Ji Nian stop when it’s my turn? Is there something wrong with the medicinal materials? It shouldn’t be that these medicinal materials were picked by myself, and there was no fakes at all.

"Little brother, are there any problems with my medicinal materials?" Liu Guangli asked carefully.

"Ah...no problem, I'll show you."

After being awakened by this question, Ji Nian swallowed hard, temporarily suppressing the urge to explore in his heart. He stood up and turned his head to identify the medicinal materials. It was over in five minutes. He stood up and smiled and swept over Liang Anfu and the other two.

"Uncle Fu, your medicinal materials are fine. I have already identified them all, and they are all good. We are still the same rule. I will give an evaluation here. You can take it and sell it there."

"Okay, thank you Xiaonian." Liang Anfu said with a smile.

"You are too polite." Ji Nian personally picked up the first medicine basket on the ground. After Liang Anfu took it, he skillfully walked towards the acquisition point not far away. The second person followed closely. When it was Liu Guangli's turn, Ji Nian casually pointed at the wooden strip inside the medicine basket.

"Brother, can I ask if this wooden stick belongs to you?"

"It's mine." Liu Guangli glanced at it and said, "That was thrown in when our child was playing around. I was too anxious when I came, so I forgot to take it out. Brother, is there something wrong with this wooden strip that affects the medicinal materials?"

"That's not." Ji Nian shook his head.

"That's good. I'll throw the trash can in a while and I won't throw it to you." Liu Guangli promised.

"Don't you throw it away?" Ji Nian was stunned.

"Of course, will it still be left if you don't throw it away? I don't want to carry it back again. It's just a piece of firewood." Liu Guangli said indifferently.

"Brother, go and sell medicinal materials. I will help you solve this firewood." Ji Nian said with a smile.

"Thank you then."

Liu Guangli turned around and left with the medicine basket. Ji Nian took out the wooden strips quickly from the medicine basket. When his hands touched them again, his heart beat faster, and an unprecedented ecstasy surged in his heart. It was indeed this wooden strip, which made the vitality become uneasy.

Now let me see what secrets you are hiding.
