"Well, for the time being, I can only promise you to try and try as soon as possible. If I can find it, I will send it to you as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, I will tell you and you can find another way. Wild Astragalus membranaceus is in our Qingcheng There are relatively fewer within the border, and more to the west, but relatively, the more dangerous it is.”

"It turns out that it is like this, so you are the most suitable one. Don't worry, I will definitely pay for your hard work... By the way, Lao Wang, I think we can even cooperate. You are familiar with Dashan and have this ability, and I I know a lot of people, and they are superstitious about things in the mountains, so if they need something, you can help us find it, I get contacts, and you get income, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled: "This kind of thing doesn't happen every day. It seems to be able to form an industrial chain. If you really want to make money from medicinal herbs, you still need to plant them on a large scale. Just pick them sporadically, that is, small troubles, nothing. Meaning. Besides, we don’t have any particularly rare things here, such as ginseng, even if they sell for money, they won’t sell much.”

"This is something you can't think about, Lao Wang," Zhang Wenyuan said with a smile, "Whether something is worth money depends not only on the thing itself, but also on where it is used. Let's take deer blood as an example. Although it is small, it is not worth too much money, but why am I willing to spend so much money for you to supply? If you can profit from it, why can’t you charge a high price?”

  Wang Tianxiao smiled and didn't speak, he naturally understood this truth.

  From the beginning, he never thought that deer blood could be sold for so much money. He knew that deer blood was a rarity.

  It is equivalent to earning a dollar.

  So after the deer blood wine was ready, he did not sell it to Zhang Wenyuan at a high price, but sold it to him, and then got a share.

   Rather than making money, it is better to say that he and Zhang Wenyuan are closer.

  He knows that Zhang Wenyuan will become a big boss in the future, so as long as he maintains a good relationship with this person, he will always be able to use it in the future. As for the little financial income right now, it is not that important.

  As long as his money can survive the tense period of this year, he can make some money no matter what when the first batch of dandelions and wormwood come down.

   Having lived a new life, his vision is naturally better than ordinary people.

   Knowing that the real value in this world is networking, especially for people who want to make something happen.

   Networking is especially important.

  If you can’t figure this out, and just think about your own tendons and work hard, it will always be because the structure is too small to go too far.

   "Old Wang, when it comes to this, I'm going to give you a good lecture."

Zhang Wenyuan sat on the desk and said sincerely: "Old Wang, don't think I'm long-winded. The reason why I tell you this is that you, Wang Tianxiao, are not an ordinary person. Don't think that you always seem very humble in front of me. , but the strength in your bones can't hide from me, I can see that you don't want to follow the trend, but still want to do something..."

   "Yes, why don't I know."

"...Just pretend," Zhang Wenyuan said angrily, "Since you want to do something, you must first understand a truth, each of us living in this world is nothing more than an exchange. Yes, it is an exchange. You use your What I exchanged for my own, and I exchanged what I exchanged for what I wanted from other people."

  Wang Tianxiao smiled and did not refute this time.

  He also approves of this concept of exchange.

"So, what each of us has to do is to have what others want, that is, the value to be exchanged. You don't care about the value of your things, because the world measures a thing by no means. Look at value, yes, not by value, but by price, do you understand the difference between price and value?"

  Wang Tianxiao looked at Zhang Wenyuan unexpectedly, secretly surprised.

He really doesn't know much about value and price, and he hasn't received much cultural knowledge himself. Some limited concepts are also read from books. He probably has a vague consciousness in his heart, but he wants to describe and summarize it concretely. But I don't have this ability.

  So he just looked at Zhang Wenyuan silently, waiting for him to continue explaining.

"The so-called value is the existence meaning of the thing itself. For example, a steamed bun, its true value is to be eaten by people, so that people will not be particularly hungry for a while. But what is its price? Depends on the situation. If you give a steamed bun to a person who has just had a full meal, he will think that the steamed bun is worthless, but if you give it to someone who has been hungry for a long time and is about to starve to death, the price of the steamed bun will increase. It's been elevated a lot."

After a slight pause, he concluded meaningfully: "So you see, the price of something does not necessarily match its value, but depends on how much we want it to be worth. Now you understand, I entrust you to find those medicinal materials And supplements, it is not how much these things are worth, but how much others think they are worth. Don’t even say that even if you give things to others at a high price, instead of thinking they are expensive, they will thank you.”

   Zhang Wenyuan's remarks were dry mouthed, and Wang Tianxiao listened with gusto.

  He understands some truths, but he didn’t expect it to be so clear. Now after Zhang Wenyuan said it, he suddenly understood, and felt that many of his cognitions had improved a little.

   Sure enough, Zhang Wenyuan is not in the usual pattern.

  Although he is very young, because of his family background, he has already clearly seen some basic rules of the world's operation. Just because of this, he has already started much earlier than many others.

   "How about it? I've been talking here for a long time, but you didn't hear anything."

"Of course, it is my honor to be mentioned by Mr. Zhang. Listening to Mr. Zhang's words is better than reading ten years of books. Not only have I listened to it, but I have been enlightened and taught." Wang Tianxiao complimented Zhang Wenyuan at the right time. Fan.

   "Haha, it's not that exaggerated. You see, since we've covered this point, you can continue with this matter. I will definitely not let your hard work be in vain."

Wang Tianxiao sighed softly, "Boss Zhang has already said that, I'm sure I can't refute your face, okay, I'll help you go back and have a look, these two days just happen to be free, so I'll go into the mountains and try to help you out as soon as possible." Click back."

   "That's really great, then it's settled like this. As for the reward, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down after it is done."

   "Okay, that's it."

  Wang Tianxiao said and stood up, "It's getting late, I want to go back, and I will send it to you when I find it."

   "Well, I'll see you off."

   The two walked out the door, Zhang Wenyuan graciously sent Wang Tianxiao downstairs, and turned and entered the building when he saw him leave.

  While going upstairs, he suddenly thought of the question of why he was always willing to be honest with Wang Tianxiao. It was really strange, as if there was a magic power.

.

  After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the temperature rose slightly, and the mountains became warmer.

  Wang Tianxin had already started school, so he reluctantly went back.

  Wang Tianxiao felt relieved.

  This younger brother is also a restless master. He has always imagined that he can be alone and kill all the wild animals in the mountains.

  Wang Tianxiao didn't trust his ability.

   To put it bluntly, he told Wang Tianxin many times that an excellent hunter not only needs good marksmanship and courage, but more importantly, has the ability to adapt and not panic.

  But Wang Tianxin is young after all, and has not yet realized this.

  Every time he went hunting in the mountains, he always looked stunned, as if those wild animals were waiting for him to harvest, but Wang Tianxiao and Liu Yuan were very worried.

  Because there is not much work at the station for the time being, the Wu Wenhua brothers all took their wives home to visit relatives, and Mi Xiaoqing followed suit.

  Li Guanping doesn’t seem to be very dull when he is with Mi Xiaoqing, but now he suddenly hasn’t seen anyone for a few days, and he feels a little out of his mind.

  Wang Tianxiao laughed in his heart, so he asked him to go home for a few days and come back in February.

   At that time, the land will melt, and all kinds of grass will start to spread. It is estimated that weeding and seedling replacement will start.

  The number of people at the station gradually decreased.

  Liu Yuan also has some emotional problems recently. The last time Wang Tianxiao went to the post office in the town, he accidentally saw Liu Yuan filling out the remittance slip. He didn't know who it was for.

  The old man's family has always been a mystery. Although Wang Tianxiao was curious, he didn't do much research.

   This is a tacit understanding between them.

Liu Yuan is like an elder on the mountain, not only bringing him a lot of help, but also like a finale patriarch, whenever he is undecided about something, he will go to Liu Yuan to play chess, every time Liu Yuan looks Being impatient or saying a few words casually will make him suddenly enlightened.

  The summary of experience brought by age is sometimes greater than many theories.

   At first glance, Liu Yuan is the kind of person with a lot of stories and experiences, like a book that needs to be read slowly.

  Wang Tianxiao is ready to go to Xifeng.

   It has been more than a week since Zhang Wenyuan promised to get Astragalus. Recently, he actually looked around on the mountain in the east and found a little Astragalus.

   But the plants are relatively small, the color is not very good, and the quantity is relatively small.

   Far from reaching the desired amount.

  No choice, so I had to go to the west side and try it out.

  However, as he thought before, the biggest problem when going to Xifeng to pick astragalus is not how to pick astragalus, but how to come back safely without any moths.

  Generally speaking, to go to a place like Xifeng where wild animals appear, you need at least two companions.

  In case of another accident, we can still take care of each other.

  But Liu Yuan's leg hurts badly recently, and he hasn't shown any signs of improvement after resting for a few days, and when Wang Tianxiao went to the city, Zhang Wenyuan urged him quite tightly.

  So he prepared to enter the mountain alone.
