Chapter 296 It’s none of your business “Boss, no.” "I don't know, I don't know. Let's go." As he spoke, the boss pushed Cheng Ming out. Cheng Ming had no choice but to leave. I thought that since this town is rich in geckos, many people should know about it. If nothing else, there must be gecko buyers or other local pharmacies. Although this town is not big, Cheng Ming has seen several pharmacies on the way here. Cheng Ming plans to visit other pharmacies. Soon, Cheng Ming found another pharmacy called Chunyitang, which also seemed to sell Chinese medicinal materials. There should be similar channels, right?
Cheng Ming walked straight in. All three sides of the pharmacy are lined with old wooden medicine cabinets with a strong ancient feel. Unlike modern pharmacies that have glass medicine cabinets and sell both Western and Chinese medicines, this pharmacy doesn't even seem to sell Western medicine. It is so pure in modern society. Inside the pharmacy, an old man in his sixties, also wearing a Zhongshan suit, was weighing medicine for people behind the counter. Three or five people are waiting. When Cheng Ming came in, all the guests inside looked at Cheng Ming, but the old man didn't even raise his head. Cheng Ming was waiting nearby. It actually takes quite a while to get Chinese medicine. The fastest time may be ten to eight minutes, and the slowest may even take twenty minutes or half an hour. Cheng Ming waited for a full fifty minutes before the last patient finally got the medicine and left. However, the old man did not look at Cheng Ming. He turned his back and kept picking up the broken pills. "Young man, what's your problem?" Cheng Ming quickly stood up and said, "Old sir, I want to ask you something." "That's new. You come to the pharmacy not to buy medicine but to get news? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not a well-informed person." said the old man. Cheng Ming said: "It's about medicinal materials." After the old man finished cleaning up, he looked up, glanced at Cheng Ming, and asked, "What do you want to know?" "I'm looking for a strange kind of gecko. This kind of gecko is different from ordinary geckos. Its skin is blue. I heard that Qingshan Town is rich in this kind of medicinal material. I wonder if you have seen it, old man?" "Blue?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then said, "I haven't seen it before." "Then could you tell me, old man, which village the geckos in the town are collected from? I want to ask the villagers." Cheng Ming asked. The old man shook his head and said, "All local herbal medicine business is handled by Mr. Kang from Kang Xin Tang. It would be better for you to ask him directly." Cheng Ming was stunned.
Is it the person at Kangxintang who is producing the local medicinal materials? I really can't believe that guy is so powerful. "Old sir, they are all local. Don't you even know where they are produced? That's impossible, right?" Cheng Ming asked, "If you tell me, I'm willing to pay 10,000 yuan." The old man sighed and said, "Forget about the money. I have seen people from Weijia Village often go in and out of his pharmacy, but..." "Thank you very much!" Cheng Ming didn't listen to what the old man said next. In his opinion, as long as he knew which village produced this medicinal material, couldn't he just go there and ask? Even though the villagers have been cooperating with Kang Xintang for many years, Cheng Ming paid more money. Ten thousand yuan for a gecko! I don’t believe they are unwilling! Cheng Ming left directly. Looking at Cheng Ming's back, the old man sighed. In Kangxin Hall opposite. Kang Cheng looked at the Wrangler diagonally opposite with disdain in his eyes. "Go there and ask?" "It's useless even if you ask. If my channels are so easy for you to get, I'm not called Kang Cheng!" He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to a group: [If someone comes to your village to collect geckos later, don't sell them to me. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If any of you sell them to him, I will not buy any of your medicinal herbs from now on! ] Wei Xiaojian is fifteen years old. He can already go into the mountains to collect herbs by himself. He had a good harvest today. He collected two kilograms of Houttuynia cordata, some mulberry leaves and some kidney ferns. The most valuable thing was the three geckos he caught. In fact, there are many more medicinal herbs in the mountains. But Wei Xiaojian didn't know enough, so he could only collect these from people he knew. Carrying the medicine bag on his back, he went to find Uncle Guang happily. Uncle Guang’s name is Wei Guang, and he is his neighbor. He gave all the herbs he collected to Uncle Guang, who took them to the town to sell. There's no way, he's too young, only 15 years old. When he goes to the town to sell medicinal herbs, others will definitely look down on him and charge him a price. So he has always given the medicinal herbs to Uncle Guang, and Uncle Guang has always been willing to help him. Came to Uncle Guang’s house. Wei Xiaojian discovered that Uncle Gui was also here, and it was unknown what the two were talking about. "Hello, Uncle Guang! Hello, Uncle Gui!" "Xiao Jian is back." Wei Guang smiled, "What did he find this time?"
"Uncle Guang, take a look!" Wei Xiaojian took off the medicinal basket on his back and laid out all his harvest. Wei Guang just glanced at the other medicinal herbs casually, but he was surprised by the things in a small bamboo cage. "Three geckos? Haha! It seems that Xiao Jian has made a good harvest this time." "And these three are all pretty big. Let me calculate the total cost of all of them. Thirty-five dollars." As he said that, Wei Guang took out the money and stuffed it into Wei Xiaojian's pocket. "Thank you, Uncle Guang!" "fine!" Wei Xiaojian happily took the money. Even though it was only thirty-five yuan, it was a good income for him. He is only fifteen this year, and no one wants him to work in any factory outside, so he can only pick mountain products at home. He took the money and was about to leave. Wei Guang and Wei Gui's cell phones suddenly rang. Wei Guang picked up the phone and looked at it, then his face changed. "Someone may come to our village to buy medicinal materials. Boss Kang told us not to cooperate with them, no matter how high the price they offer, otherwise Boss Kang will not cooperate with us in the future." "Is there such a thing?" Wei Gui was surprised, then he gritted his teeth, full of dissatisfaction with Boss Kang, "He is too overbearing!" Wei Guang sighed. "What can we do? Kang Cheng is the only one who buys medicinal herbs in our town. If he doesn't buy our herbs, we won't be able to sell them at all!" "yes." "Anyway, you just need to pay attention. If someone really comes, notify the villagers and ignore him." Wei Guang said to Wei Gui. "Okay." Wei Gui agreed. Wei Yijian, who was standing by, became confused after hearing their conversation. Then he asked, "Uncle Guang, what are you talking about?" Wei Guang glanced at him and said, "It's nothing. It's none of your business. Your grandma is still waiting for you at home. Go back quickly." "All right!" Wei Xiaojian has a childish nature and has never had any interest in "adult matters". He didn't understand what Wei Guang said just now, so he didn't pay attention to it and turned away. At this time, Wei Guang instructed him again: "Oh, Xiaojian! If someone comes to the village to buy herbs, remember not to sell them to him, no matter how high the price he offers!" Wei Xiaojian was confused: "Why?" (End of this chapter)
