After hearing what Lu Tianlong said, everyone was at a loss, with no expression on their faces at all.
"Making a family rich and leading a well-off life? Hahahahaha!"
The first person to react was Wang Lizhu. When this guy heard what Lu Tianlong said, he felt like he had heard the best joke.
"puff!"
Extreme joy gave rise to sadness, and the wound on his body was touched again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Ahem! Lu Tianlong, who do you think you are?"
"You have brought so much trouble to our Xianlong Village, you are just like this Sai Jinhua..."
Wang Lizhu felt that he had caught Lu Tianlong's hand, so he opened his mouth to speak, but Lu Tianlong glanced at him and swallowed the rest of his words.
This is a bloody lesson. I really don’t dare to say anything too harsh.
"Making a family rich? Huh, you think it's that easy? Our Xianlong Village is a place forgotten above."
"Generations have been living in poverty for generations, unable to get out or get in. If I hadn't been struggling to support myself, I wouldn't have known how to survive."
"Huh, returning home and getting rich? Ask everyone, how many ways have I tried over the years to lead everyone to live a better life, but it's simply impossible..."
Wang Lizhu changed the topic and began to criticize Lu Tianlong's words about getting rich at home.
Lu Tianlong glanced at the people around him and found that most of them were silent.
When I heard Sai Jinhua talk about Wang Lizhu last night, I also heard her say something.
The poverty of Xianlong Village is due to the fact that there are some herbs and other things on the mountains, and the villagers collect them without any trouble.
Wang Lizhu contacted a traditional Chinese medicine merchant in the town, who would come to Xianlong Village regularly to purchase, about once every ten and a half days. This is the main source of income for Xianlong Village.
"Yes, if Director Wang hadn't hired someone to collect the things we collected, I'm afraid someone would have starved to death."
"That is the main income. Other wild fruits and other things are not valuable at all."
Someone nearby whispered that they seemed to have a good relationship with Wang Lizhu, and they always defended Wang Lizhu.
"Medicine? Can any of you get some for me to take a look at?"
6 Tianlong's heart moved and he asked the crowd.
"I have it here. I happened to be on the mountain just now. I came back when I heard the alarm bell below. Remember to take it home before I came."
"But if you look at what this thing is used for, it's not worth it at all. We worked hard for ten days and it's just a small amount of money."
A woman carrying a basket heard Lu Tianlong's words, came to Lu Tianlong, casually grabbed a handful of green plants in her hand and gave them to Lu Tianlong.
"kindness?"
6 Tianlong raised his eyebrows slightly.
He is no stranger to medicinal materials. The holy farmer in War Dragon is an expert in medicinal materials. He spends all day together and is very knowledgeable about these things.
But Lu Tianlong had never seen the handful of green plants held by the woman in front of him!
It looks like ordinary grass, but it is different from ordinary grass. The edges of the leaves have a zigzag shape and look very delicate.
6 Tianlong picked up one and put it in his mouth and chewed it twice.
Eyes widened instantly!
The juice of this plant has a slightly bitter taste, but after a while it fills your mouth with fragrance. When you taste it carefully, there seems to be a hint of fishy smell in the middle.
And just after chewing it, I felt that my body had changed slightly, and my head seemed to be clearer!
"What is the name of this medicinal material? Is it abundant?"
6 Tianlong looked up and asked the woman. Although he had never seen this medicinal material before, subconsciously, he knew that this kind of thing must be extremely precious.
"We don't know what it's called. Anyway, we call it Sawgrass. There aren't many of them. They only exist on the peak of Xianlong Mountain."
Women don't care.
"Yes, this thing looks pretty good. We used to have a lot of it and we used it to feed our livestock."
"Later, Director Wang's contact came to take a look, and we found out that we could still make money from it."
"It's probably not too much now..."
Seeing that Lu Tianlong was interested in this thing, the people nearby started chatting.
"Is this kind of thing expensive?" Lu Tianlong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's not expensive. After drying, it only costs more than ten yuan per pound."
someone answered.
Ten dollars?
6 Tianlong frowned slightly.
After this thing is dried, its weight is greatly reduced, and dozens of kilograms may not be enough to weigh one kilogram.
The quantity is not very large. If an adult works hard for ten days and a half, he may not be able to collect much.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the roar of a motor suddenly came from the distance again.
Everyone turned around and saw a brand new off-road vehicle rumbling towards them.
After arriving at the entrance of the village, the driver jumped out of the car, ran quickly to the back and opened the door, and then saw a chubby man getting out of the car.
"Well? What, what's going on?"
As soon as the chubby man got out of the car, he saw so many people gathered at the entrance of the village.
"Are you all greeting me? But..."
The guy immediately saw the smashed car next to him. His eyes widened and his face was confused. He had no idea what happened.
"Boss Li?"
"This person is Boss Li, the medicinal material purchaser that Wang Lizhu contacted. Every once in a while, this guy will drive to our place to purchase the medicinal materials we purchased."
Sai Jinhua and Xiang Xiaoying had already arrived at Lu Tianlong's side and said quickly.
Boss Li who buys medicinal materials?
6 Tianlong looked this guy up and down. He was 1.7 meters tall and weighed 180. He was as round as a ball, with a fat head, big ears and a full body.
"Lao Li, you're here!"
When Wang Lizhu over there saw the medicinal material purchaser, he immediately endured the severe pain and asked the two people next to him to help him and walked over.
"Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
When Boss Li saw Wang Lizhu's appearance, he was even more shocked and ran over quickly.
"Oh, forget it, something happened in our Xianlong Village, but we will handle it ourselves..."
"By the way, we have to discuss the purchase of medicinal materials today."
Seeing Boss Li, Wang Lizhu looked more energetic than before. As he spoke, he glanced at the surrounding villagers.
6 Tianlong immediately noticed that the eyes of many villagers looking at Wang Lizhu suddenly became obviously full of flattery.
Next to her, Sai Jinhua looked angrily.
"Because Boss Li was contacted by Wang Lizhu, every time he comes to make acquisitions, Wang Lizhu has a great say."
"For example, whose products should be purchased first, whose products have better ingredients, whose prices are higher..."
"You must know that only Boss Li in the entire Xianlong Town buys these things, so if the price he gives is high, it is high, and if he gives a low price, it is low."
Next, Sai Jinhua quickly explained what happened inside.
In fact, it is very simple. Wang Lizhu used his relationship with Boss Li to control the purchase price of medicinal materials in Xianlong Village.
If you like it, I'll tell you that your ingredients are good and give you a higher price.
If they don’t like it, they will tell you that your ingredients are poor and lower the price for you.
Not only this kind of medicinal materials, but also some wild fruits or other things are also controlled by Wang Lizhi.
Therefore, in this Xianlong Village, although many people are reluctant, they must maintain a good relationship with Wang Lizhu, otherwise they will definitely be cheated when buying things.
All that is lost is hard-earned money.
"I basically helped you around before. This time, some people collected very good medicinal materials, but some people's medicines were not so good."
"For example, the one from Sai Jinhua's looks pretty good, but actually..."
When Wang Lizhu said this, he didn't go on.
"From Sai Jinhua's house? Li Zhu, don't you always say that her house is the best and you want me to pay a higher price? Why..."
Boss Li spoke in confusion, and suddenly saw Wang Lizhu blinking at him.
This guy is also shrewd. He glanced towards Sai Jinhua and saw Liu Tianlong standing next to her, and he immediately looked like he suddenly realized something.
He knew that Wang Lizhu had always had thoughts about Sai Jinhua. With his current appearance, it was obvious that Sai Jinhua had another man and had fallen out with him!
"Okay, I trust you the most. Since you said no, I won't want the medicinal materials from Sai Jinhua's family this time. Anyway, I don't plan to accept much this time."
Boss Li understood in his heart and laughed.
"How much are you not going to charge? Is the market for these medicinal materials not good recently? Okay, everyone is stunned. Go back and get it quickly. Otherwise, we won't accept it if it's too late."
Wang Lizhu coughed violently and endured the pain, while waving his hand proudly.
The villagers nearby looked a little anxious. They no longer cared about what Lu Tianlong had just said, and ran back one by one.
I was afraid that if I arrived too late, the medicinal materials I collected would not be sold. In that case, the ten and a half days of work would have been in vain.
"Hmph, don't push me away. My aunt won't sell it to you anymore. She would rather feed it to pigs!"
Seeing Wang Lizhu and Boss Li's proud expressions across from them, Sai Jinhua gritted her teeth and said.
In the past, Wang Lizhu did take good care of her. He first asked Boss Li to buy her, and the price was not low. This is what he said, he took good care of Sai Jinhua.
But now...
6 Tianlong didn't speak, just looked at it with a faint smile.
After a while, the villagers who ran home returned one after another.
Everyone was either carrying a basket or a cloth bag, and started queuing up in order, waiting until Boss Li inspected the goods and purchased them.
"Well, it seems that the quality this time is really not that good, far worse than before, alas!"
Boss Li was walking in the queue with a big belly, while the driver behind him began to take out electronic scales and other things from the back of the car.
"The quality is not good? How could it be? Boss Li, look at this, ours is the best product?"
"Yes, Boss Li, you can't lower the price for us anymore. These things are getting less and less now, and it's very difficult for us to acquire them. If we lower the price again, we won't be able to survive."
"Boss Li, just be kind and treat it as relief for us, okay?"
When Boss Li said that the quality was not good and the price was low, many people had pleading looks on their faces, and some women even had tears in their eyes.
