Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 35.1: The Prodigal Son (72)
When the fellow heard this, he was immediately downcast.
Shao Dabao did not rush and waited patiently for him to speak.
The fellow brought Shao Dabao into another room, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance in that room.
Shao Dabao saw what looked like a handful of hay.
“Our village is surrounded by mountains and there are no fields. We rely on these herbs.” The fellow said.
Shao Dabao heard the words and said, “Relying on herbal medicine is one more way of making a living, and you all have great ideas.”
“What are you thinking about!” The fellow said unhappily, “The mountains rely on this thing, and now it’s almost eaten by insects.”
Shao Dabao was stunned when he heard the words. After asking carefully, he learned that the herb was called Huilongcao (dragon grass), which has the effect of prolonging life. Every spring, people in this village go to the mountains to find this herb and sell it to the pharmacy.
But a few years ago, there was an extra kind of insect in the mountains. This insect specializes in eating dragon grass. This year, the situation of insects eating grass is particularly serious. A large number of the dragon grass died. The villagers could not pick this herb, so they lost most of their income.
Therefore, there was the scene that Shao Dabao saw, and everyone in the village looked sad.
Although this villager is reluctant to buy things from Shao Dabao, but because he charged his accommodation fee, he kindly said: “I know you are a good businessman, and you won’t pit the villagers, but whether we can survive this year, we can’t afford your goods at all.”
Shao Dabao heard this, he immediately retreated.
“Hey, what can we do in our village? We can’t grow food and we can’t dig herbs. It’s hard to say whether the villagers can survive this year.” The villager sighed with a sad face.
Shao Dabao’s heart was tight, Shao Yu’s words rang in his ears, and an impulse appeared in his heart, a strong impulse to help the villagers solve their problems.
In the early morning of the next day, Shao Dabao, accompanied by this villager, went up the mountain for a circle, but he really didn’t know much about herbal medicine. Even if he looked carefully, he couldn’t help him.
The villager had a glimmer of hope, but when he saw Shao Dabao said nothing after a circle, the light in his eyes suddenly extinguished little by little.
After Shao Dabao wrote down everything he had learned, he left the village helplessly.
He went in a different direction. This time the village was in good condition. They expressed great welcome to these good and cheap goods brought by Shao Dabao.
Soon, the two full boxes of things brought by Shao Dabao were sold out.
When Shao Dabao asked about Huilong Village in a casual manner, the villagers in this village immediately opened the chat box.
“You ask Huilong Village? In the past, all the people in this village looked up to the sky. There were eight villages in ten miles. Only they grew Dragon grass on Huilong Mountain. Dragon grass was valuable. The village is also rich, and the girls in the vicinity are eager to marry in, but it has become more and more difficult in recent years.”
“It is said that the people of Huilong Village offended the mountain god, so they sent bugs down to torture them.” Shao Dabao listened carefully, and the man spoke more vigorously, telling all the true and false news. Shao Dabao sold all the contents in the cargo box, but he did not come back with the money, but collected a lot of mountain goods in the mountains. The villagers saw him like this and treated him more enthusiastically. He came with two boxes of goods and left with two boxes of mountain goods. The villagers also saw him off. They looked reluctant to say goodbye. It was not like a delivery man leaving, but like sending their own children on a long journey.
Shao Dabao knows the reason why he can be treated like this. The goods he brought are really cheap, and the money he earned is returned to the hands of these villagers, it is not like selling goods, but rather like bartering.
It is precisely because of this that the villagers feel that doing business with Shao Dabao is very profitable, so they treat him so enthusiastically.
Shao Dabao did not suffer in the slightest. These mountain goods in the mountains are not worth much on the mountain, but he understands that when they reach a certain place and in the hands of a certain person, the price will increase several times.
Shao Dabao deeply understands Shao Yu’s phrase “think more about what you can do for others”. The mountain goods in his hands are helping the villagers solve their problems.
With this idea in mind, Shao Dabao only felt that the abnormality of Huilong Village might be a good opportunity for him.
He brought two boxes of mountain goods home, and Shao Yu was not unhappy when he saw it, but patiently asked him how to deal with the mountain goods.
“I have a way to sell it to those wealthy families.” Shao Dabao said.
Shao Yu nodded and said, “This is also a good solution.”
When Shao Dabao got this sentence, he couldn’t help thinking a little more, and couldn’t help but ask: “Dad, do you have a better solution?”
“There are many solutions, there is no best, only suitable.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Dabao thought for a while, and then asked again, “If it were dad, what would you do?”
“Send to the capital.”
The capital is the most prosperous place in the country. As long as it is a real good thing, it will not be troublesome to sell it in the capital.
Shao Dabao also knows that when things are sent to the capital, they will definitely sell for a high price, but for him, the place is unfamiliar and there are no trusted people. After all, there are too few goods. He could only digest it in Nanzhou.
