Chapter 1722: Chapter 1579: Underworld Oppression

In the end, Doctor Xiaoguo still found Song Tan.

"I’ll take care of all the Golden Sakura from your family this year."

She gritted her teeth, "And I’ll increase the price."

Song Tan was puzzled, "Weren’t you the one handling it all along?"

It’s different now. Last year, there were only the Tea Garden and Chestnut Garden around Song Tan Mountain with Golden Sakura, but now, the newly leased area at the edge of Shitou Slope is full of it, significantly increasing the yield.

But now...

Zhang Yanping happened to be going to the guesthouse to replace Xin Jun, and he joked, "Are you planning to use a machine to roll those pills?"

"No." Doctor Xiaoguo shook her head. "So of the ingredients in my pills are quite moist, and using a machine would only make them sticky. And once they stick, the dosage becos inaccurate."

The implication was that they still needed to be hand-rolled.

Zhang Yanping rolled his eyes, "How many pills can you roll in 24 hours a day?"

"And you want to take on the entire year’s supply? You’d be doing this for the next three to five years! Are you out of your mind?"

"Wasn’t the original amount sufficient? At most, increase it by 10% this year."

Doctor Xiaoguo was on the verge of tears, "I didn’t want it either! I made a lot last year. But a custor, an old clam producing pearls, boasted about it in the custor group."

What makes money these days?

Potency and offspring! Tiless lucrative tricks! Anything related to these has never seen poor sales.

Moreover, her pills visibly worked wonders, and now they ca with an added halo...

Golden Sakura usually matures between September and October, and if not picked, can remain on the branches until November or December. So flowers at Song Tan’s place bloom early, while others are late, with the earliest batch yielding a small amount in June and July.

And now, just last night, over 1,000 orders have already been placed.

Zhang Yanping decided not to go to the guesthouse and sat down with a stool, "I ask you, do you have enough money to open a processing factory?"

Guo Dong shook her head, "Not enough."

She made quite a bit last year, but building a factory was like a drop in the ocean.

For making dicine, a small workshop just won’t cut it. For instance, when it cos to dicine adhesion, big factories have freeze-drying equipnt, allowing many dicinal ingredients to be finely processed. On her own, she lacks funding and struggles to find reliable dicinal materials.

If her reputation were to be ruined, it would go against her original intentions.

Zhang Yanping asked again, "Are you satisfied with making so much money every year now?"

Guo Dong didn’t hesitate, "Satisfied."

"Then that’s it!" Zhang Yanping spread his hands, "Your dicine requires honey. While there’s plenty of Golden Sakura because the demand for dicinal ingredients isn’t that high."

"But not all of Tan Tan’s honey will go to you, and would you be content using inferior quality?"

He gave advice, "I say, just increase by 10% from last year, and hire more people to do basic tasks during processing—not as tiring. You were anemic last year! Is it more about health or money?"

"As for money, if you want to earn more, why not sell the recipe for Golden Sakura jam with dicinal properties to Tan Tan—let

be clear first! This isn’t that rare, don’t get greedy, and don’t think about joining with the recipe..."

Before he could finish, Guo Dong stomped hard on his foot!

She grinned nacingly, "Am I that kind of person?"

Zhang Yanping grimaced in pain, as if he had been stabbed three tis instead of just being stepped on!

But faced with his girlfriend’s fury, he was equally carefree:

"Tan Tan doesn’t care about trifles, and since you’re her prospective sister-in-law, naturally I should say the harsh words!"

"When you hear harsh words, things can be done so everyone’s happy—just tell

if what I said makes sense."

Indeed, it did make sense.

Zhang Yanping remains idle, but his business acun has always endured. Like he said about the recipe for dicinal jam, in today’s era of big data, it’s indeed not irreplaceable.

What Guo Dong could do was get professors to assess more accurately.

Trying to use this to join in, wasn’t that like soone taking a hundred bucks trying to be partners in a million-dollar business!

Guo Dong snorted, "You already said I’m the prospective sister-in-law. If I were to charge for such a commonplace recipe, would I not want a reputation? She didn’t even raise the price on , and she sold

honey..."

Golden Sakura aside, honey is truly hard to co by even with money!

So, she also said, "Keep it in the family, I’ll get 10% more Golden Sakura and honey than last year, and I’ll ask the teachers about that recipe and give it to you directly later."

This way, when winter cos, Lao Song’s family still has sothing to sell.

Song Tan: ...She hasn’t said a word yet!

Isn’t this just flirting? Her Golden Sakura is rely one part of it, right?

So she also snorted, "Brother Yanping, don’t worry about your girlfriend. She’s handling Ai Cao and her reputation in our village is already sky-high."

"You should worry about Xin Jun. He said he’d go back for May Day, but because you’re too fierce and there are too many weekend tourists, he hasn’t packed yet—if he doesn’t leave soon, won’t it be next May Day?"

Zhang Yanping buzzed, "Oh my, that’s not my fault. He had his luggage packed, and his mother ntioned a steady and hardworking girl she found, so he unpacked his luggage that very night."

But his mom only said it, and as the weather heats up, he’ll have to hurry.

Although Xin Jun is no longer Qiaoqiao’s teacher officially, he’s still teaching without pay.

Now, with Lao Song’s family viewing him as one of their own, as soon as he ntioned leaving, Wu Lan promptly arranged, "Pack him two pounds of tea..."

Song Tan shook her head, "He’s family, so let’s see. Pack one pound of good Maojian tea and two pounds of the newly picked bud leaf tea."

Technically, the price difference isn’t significant when sold, but since bud leaf tea is brewed from one leaf and one bud tip, it’s more durable and suits family consumption better.

Wu Lan also nodded, "Xin Jun, if you go back and et a girl, bring her over if you don’t want to stay ho, we have positions here too."

Even if there isn’t, they’d create one. After all, it was their fortune that Qiaoqiao t such a good teacher, and the family had to appreciate it.

Just as Xin Jun had returned, hearing Lao Song’s family bustling like this moved him to tears and made him laugh, "No need, I’ll just stay back for half a month..."

"Half a month won’t do!"

Wu Lan disapproved, "You only return three to five tis a year, how can you not stay a bit longer each ti?"

But since Xin Jun was determined not to take a salary, they felt awkward about discussing ti off. So, they prompted Zhang Yanping, "You should be more diligent, arrange for soone to be on duty at night, and you manage during the day!"

"If necessary, borrow a security guard for you to use."

"Anyway, Xin Jun needs a month off."

Zhang Yanping: ...?

He was incredulous, "Auntie! Last ti, when I said I’d take a break to see my mom and had Xin Jun fill in for three days, you said he was having a hard ti!"

Why? Just because he looks like a triad boss, does that an you can pressure him?
