A Divine Farmer

Chapter 431



C431 – I Don’t Care about That!

“You’re right. No matter who you rely on, you can only rely on one person at a time. There is no way to rely on someone forever. I have no intention of taking this matter on my own. What I said just now is true. These wild vegetables can really be sold for money. I can make my own restaurant and also do the wholesale of vegetables. I know the price of these things better than anyone else.”

Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said, “Although the wild vegetables are not as expensive as the ordinary vegetables, they are much more expensive than ordinary vegetables. This is because there are very few of them in the market. The rarer the item, the more expensive it is. Even the natural green vegetables are more expensive than ordinary vegetables, let alone the wild vegetables. Just the growing conditions alone will make many people buy them. Furthermore, their nutritional value is indeed higher than ordinary vegetables. This is a fact.”

From the very beginning, Zhang Xiaolong knew that simply using money to help people would not be able to help many people. What they needed more was a path, a path that they could walk on their own.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiaolong had no way to help the poor people in the world become rich, even if he really had the ability to share his money with everyone, it would only create a large group of nouveau riches. It would not be a good deed. On the contrary, it might cause a lot of bad consequences.

Liu Gui having such thoughts was a good sign for him. He did not want to reap without sowing. Instead, he hoped to earn his next day through his own hard work and sweat. This was the thought of most farmers who were honest and sincere. It was precisely because of this simple thought that Zhang Xiaolong was more willing to help these people.

“Really? But how come no one has done it before?” Liu Gui was a little convinced after hearing Zhang Xiaolong’s explanation, but he still didn’t understand why no one had done it before.

“This is a good idea, but no one has done it before because they didn’t have the means to do it. It is almost impossible to enter the restaurant directly with just wild vegetables.” Zhang Xiaolong had personally experienced this before. If it wasn’t for Yaru’s recommendation and Hong Yan’s knowledge, his dishes would not have been able to be sold in the restaurant. “Besides, the transportation in the mountain is a big problem. Just transporting the vegetables out would require a lot of effort. The cost of doing so is too high, and it’s not worth it.”

Two practical problems were enough to stop anyone who had thoughts of doing it.

After listening to Zhang Xiaolong’s explanation, Liu Gui finally understood. At the same time, he felt even more curious. Since Zhang Xiaolong clearly knew about these two problems, why did he mention them again?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had said that he was a restaurant owner, so the first question could be ignored. However, the second question was a real problem. There was no way to solve it, and the only way was to spend a large amount of money.

Without money, there would be no business opportunities for the villagers in the Cloud Mist Mountain.

“If we were to sell everything here, even if we don’t earn any money, we would feel bad. Besides, according to what you said, it is very likely that you would have to pay for the stuff you sell. We won’t do such a heartless thing. If the school can be solved, we will owe you. We can’t just take advantage of you for this matter.” Zaohua also understood what he meant and interrupted.

“You don’t have to be so polite with him. He is very rich.” Lee Yan felt that no matter what she said, it would be useless. Thus, she decided to call Zhang Xiaolong a rich and wealthy man who had nowhere to spend his money.

Although this was the truth, Zhang Xiaolong was still speechless. This female captain seemed to have sold him out.

“Just now, we also said that wild vegetables are indeed like this. They are just a little bit, and we can’t earn money from them. If we have too much, we won’t be able to send them away, unless we can fix the road.” Zhang Xiaolong also expressed his helplessness, “There should be quite a number of places like our village in Cloud Mist Mountain. If we want to fix all of them, it won’t be possible in a short period of time…”

“Hey, stop talking halfway!” Lee Yan was not satisfied with his words. A rich man should have the appearance of a rich man. Didn’t you see those rich people on TV who were all throwing money all over the house?

“Sister Yan, my father and mother are right. Even if Mr. Xiaolong is rich, we can’t rely on him to help us. Although the road here is not accessible, it will be accessible one day. I will study hard and in the future, I will be able to earn money outside and fix the road here. This way, we will be able to earn the money in this mountain without any worries.” Yan Zi also expressed his opinion.

“Alright, you have the ambition!” Zhang Xiaolong praised her.

Liu Gui also agreed with his daughter’s words. He stroked his daughter’s head in satisfaction, “The girls in the mountains all have this kind of backbone.”

“It is a good thing to have some backbone, but I don’t think it’s necessary to wait until that time.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled and changed the topic, “Just now, we were talking about wild vegetables. There is indeed a practical problem with this kind of thing, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t have anything to sell here. For example, the herbs that I mentioned just now. Compared to wild vegetables, the amount of herbs here is not too big. For example, the herbs that I just mentioned, the herbs here are not too big. For example, the herds of herbs here are not too big.”

These words made Yan Zi’s eyes light up. There was no need to think about herbs like ginseng. For example, the herbs like ginseng, if they were worth a few dozen dollars per kilogram, then a hundred kilograms would be worth a few thousand dollars.

The Cloud Mist Mountain was a huge place, and there were only a few scattered villages in the mountain. However, there were not many villagers. Even if every family collected a thousand kilograms of herbs every year, it would still be worth tens of thousands of dollars. It would be better than working.

If there were some ginseng added to the mix, wouldn’t it really be a fortune?

As for the road, listening to Zhang Xiaolong’s words, he understood that it was only a thousand kilograms per year. Even if it was carried on the back, everyone could carry it out.

Among the people in the mountain, who could not carry dozens of kilograms on their back? How could they be so embarrassed to greet others?

“Wait, wait, wait…” Liu Gui’s blood began to flow faster, forcing himself to calm down. “Xiaolong, do you think this matter will really succeed? Why do I feel that it is so unreliable? Yes, there are medicinal herbs in the mountains, but where can I find so many wild ones? If we were to plant them manually, it would definitely not be worth that much, right?”

“That depends on who is the one who will plant them!” Zhang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously.

Although there were mountains near the Clear River Village, they were not suitable for large-scale planting medicinal herbs. Cloud Mist Mountain was different. It was a perfect place for growing medicinal herbs. For certain medicinal herbs, this place was a paradise.

With Shennong’s successor, if he couldn’t grow any high-quality medicinal herbs here, then Zhang Xiaolong would really have to smash his head into a piece of tofu.

“All these things have to be done slowly. Don’t worry about the technical problems. Since I want you to plant them, I will definitely help you solve these difficulties. As for the suitable place, I will arrange for suitable people to manage it. You will have to discuss and solve it yourselves. I believe that if we can make money and not break the law, it shouldn’t be a problem for the village chief and the villagers, right?” Zhang Xiaolong said.

Liu Gui suddenly stood up, “Xiaolong, wait a moment. I will go find the village chief right now. If this matter succeeds, our village will erect a temple for you!”
