Chapter 400

The little girl was so miserable that everyone couldn't say anything more, so they had to ask her to sit and rest for a while, while piling all the food in front of her.

Only Wu Lan looked at her appearance and whispered to Song Tan: "Is this the one who's purchasing? Why do I feel she's unreliable... No, I'd better ask your Seventh Uncle to find someone else."

"I also feel she's unreliable."

Grandma nodded in agreement from the side: "Look, people always say 'those without hair on their lips are not reliable in their work.' Those TCM doctors with real skills are all old. She's so young, what could she have learned?"

"Mom, Grandma, you can't look down on people."

Song Tan retorted: "Some people just have talent. Besides, even if she can't do everything, specializing in one thing is fine too!"

"Then this girl probably doesn't have talent."

Wu Lan was confident: "Look, she's a doctor, yet she can't even regulate her own body and gave herself hypoglycemia... her medical skills definitely aren't great."

Song Tan:...

She wanted to say there's a saying called "a doctor cannot treat himself"...

But then she thought, from a certain perspective, her mother's analysis wasn't wrong.

However...

"She said she didn't eat. Even if TCM regulates the body well, if you don't eat for a long time, won't you still collapse? We can't be so one-sided."

"Besides, she's here to look at medicinal herbs, not to see a doctor. Whether she's good or not has nothing to do with us."

Anyway, the family members didn't think highly of her.

It was Xin Jun, who came down from upstairs, who heard the whole thing and comforted them: "It's fine. Since she's a TCM doctor, she definitely knows how to process this stuff and how to make it best. It's worth it if she can teach us a thing or two."

"Besides, if she doesn't buy it herself, she can introduce others to us. Just for this point, it's a good thing she came."

When Wu Lan thought about it, it was true!

"As expected of Teacher Xin, you know so much!"

She was happy and hurriedly asked aloud: "Girl, do you want a bowl of white fungus soup?"

How could Guo Dong be embarrassed?

After drinking two large bowls of brown sugar water, she felt much better.

Her body was actually quite good, but she really hadn't eaten for a long time—because of the blind date, she didn't go out, and her mother guarded her strictly, so she hadn't eaten for a whole day before leaving.

And so, after the sugar water went down, her stomach was sloshing. While politely declining, she still took the bowl of white fungus soup from Wu Lan's hand.

The sweet soup entered her mouth, and Guo Dong felt refreshed all over!

"Your white fungus..."

She tasted it with surprise: "The quality is so high! Are you selling it? I'll buy it at a high price!"

Song Tan sat down next to her happily: "Selling! 4,000 yuan a jin, how much higher can you offer?"

Guo Dong:...

She put down the bowl in silence: "I'm sorry to have bothered you."

But after thinking about it, she picked up the bowl again: "But 4,000 yuan is really a great value. If you run into a rich person who knows their stuff, they'd be willing to pay ten times that."

Song Tan straightened her back: "Do you have any channels? If you can sell it at this price, I'll give you a commission."

Guo Dong:...

She also felt a bit speechless: "If I had the ability to sell it, why wouldn't I buy it from you and resell it?"

Wouldn't that earn more than taking a commission?

"That's not how you say it."

Zhang Yanping also had this idea at first, but now he's still honestly selling goods for Song Tan to earn that commission. He had the right to speak at this moment:

"Paper can't wrap fire, and there's no wall in the world that doesn't leak wind—our strength will grow sooner or later. If you sell it to others at a higher price today, and they find out the original price later, do you still want your reputation with your clients?"

"A good reputation is worth a thousand gold!"

Guo Dong looked at Zhang Yanping in surprise, then nodded: "What you said makes sense, so I'll sell it at your price. How much commission can you give?"

She was quite capable of earning money, but a few years ago, because of her mother's crying and complaining, she also packed her bags and returned to her hometown to build a house, preparing for a life of mountains, water, and fields.

As a result...

Let's not mention it.

Now she has a little money in her pocket, but not much, so she must hurry up and find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure!

Her clients all pay extra attention to health preservation. White fungus at 4,000 yuan a jin, with her reputation, someone will definitely be willing to buy it.

Many a little makes a mickle!

And she had tasted many good things with this mouth of hers; this white fungus was definitely a great value!

Song Tan sighed: "Then forget it."

"We didn't plant much white fungus this year anyway, and it won't go bad if we sell it slowly. If it passes through your hands, it's the same money, and I have to pay an extra commission—not cost-effective."

Guo Dong felt that she was originally quite eloquent, but now she was speechless several times.

She was just a bit surprised: "Then your client base is quite good."

She finally finished the last bit of white fungus soup, regained her spirit, and her heart stopped racing. She then took the initiative to take out her TCM license:

"Look, I'm really a legitimate doctor. I came here this time specifically for your Cherokee roses. Can I go take a look?"

"Oh my, you have a license just after graduating?" Wu Lan was surprised.

Guo Dong smiled: "Auntie, I'm thirty."

Thirty years old exactly, but in the village, everyone always adds two years to their age.

So her mother says thirty-two.

However, in her mother's eyes, there's no difference between thirty-two and thirty; as long as she can't get married, she's a failure.

"Don't you need to rest for a while?"

Wu Lan looked at her fair face, thinking this girl really looks young. Maybe her medical skills are really good, otherwise why would she be so good at maintaining herself?

"It's fine."

Guo Dong smiled: "I often run around in various mountain areas to collect medicinal herbs. Auntie, don't misunderstand, my body isn't bad. This time, it really was because I hadn't eaten for several meals that I became like this."

Wu Lan's eyes instantly filled with pity: "Oh my, why didn't you eat? Look at how thin you are, girl, you can't ruin your body like this..."

Guo Dong didn't have the habit of telling everyone about her family affairs. She just smiled: "It's nothing—Auntie, do you grow a lot of Cherokee roses?"

Fine.

Every few words, she's back to medicinal herbs.

Wu Lan also spoke straightforwardly: "A lot! There are plenty! I planted a large circle around my chestnut grove. If you have the energy, let's go over now."

Everyone was really curious about the price of Cherokee roses and wanted to know how this thing was handled. Plus, it was five or six o'clock, and the sun wasn't that scorching anymore. Except for the older ones, the rest simply followed them up the mountain.

Guo Dong had really seen the world. She wasn't panicked at all, and her speech was like a spring breeze, both detailed and gentle—very much like a doctor comforting a patient.

"Auntie, you really have a good eye. Many people don't know about Cherokee roses, but in fact, the purchase price has always been quite good."

"That's right." Wu Lan laughed: "I only found out recently. I heard that in previous years, someone bought them, and the fresh fruit was 30 yuan a jin!"
