Chapter 174: Snow in Changbai Mountain
The Wang family has a big business and has made achievements in many industries, but it has not involved the medicinal materials industry.
Although he could not provide medicinal materials to Bai Fengjiu and others, in the early years, Wang Tianliang went to the three eastern provinces to receive goods and met a local medicinal materials merchant.
This medicinal materials merchant is not an ordinary person. His ancestors operated and sold traditional Chinese medicine in the three northeastern provinces, and 80% of the medicinal materials there had to pass through his hands.
Jin Guoer and Zhao Tianbao discussed that they might as well go there to buy medicinal materials by themselves. There is no middlemen to make a difference and can also ensure the quality of the medicinal materials.
Wang Tianliang had not contacted the medicinal materials dealer for more than ten years, and he could not find the contact information. He wrote an introduction letter and handed it to Jin Guoer, telling her the specific address. As for whether she could reach a cooperation intention, it all depends on Jin Guoer himself.
The high-speed train heading to Jilin was galloping on the rails, and the scene on both sides quickly retreated. The heat in the car was very sufficient, so Jin Guoer leaned in the back seat for a nap.
After opening his eyes, Jin Guoer arrived at Jilin Station, followed the bustling crowd, and then returned the long-distance bus.
The person Jin Guoer was looking for was He Yuanliang, who was about the same age as Wang Tianliang and lived at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
He Yuanliang was a mountain citizen. He followed his father to the mountains to collect herbs since he was a child. Later, China's economy was prosperous. He Yuanliang seized the opportunity to sell the medicinal materials from Changbai Mountain to Shanhaiguan, and went all over the country, becoming the king of medicine in the three eastern provinces.
Zhao Tianbao originally wanted Zhao Xiaohei to come with him, and many people could take care of him. After all, a girl went alone to buy medicine, so what danger happened? Zhao Tianbao couldn't explain to Bai Fengjiu.
Jin Guoer looked careless and said that she was going to negotiate business, not going up the mountain to fight tigers, and the three eastern provinces were not a place for tigers and wolves. Isn’t there a saying that people in Northeast China are living Lei Fengs?
But Jin Guoer got off the long-distance bus and saw the gravel road under her feet. The mountains covered with snow in the distance were covered with heavy boxes in her hand. She immediately regretted it. It would be better to let Zhao Xiaohei come, at least there is someone carrying the boxes.
But since he came, it was too late to regret it. Jin Guoer carried a broken suitcase and walked towards the address given by Wang Tianliang.
The mountain road was rugged and it was not until dark that Jin Guoer came to the small town where He Yuanliang lived.
Jin Guoer couldn't help but slander, and she became the medicine king of the three northeastern provinces and still lived in such a place where birds do not poop. Is this the evil taste of rich people?
It was dark in the mountains, and the sun was no longer visible at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The smoke from cooking was curling. Pine wood was neatly placed at the bottom of the south wall. Several native dogs were running around the streets. Children wearing thick cotton jackets and dog-skin hats were looking for birds everywhere with slingshots. The adults from some unknown family stood on the roof and called the children home for dinner.
Changbai Mountain has now become a tourist area, with farmhouses and inns everywhere in the town. Jin Guoer found a farmhouse to make do with it for the night and planned to go to He Yuanliang tomorrow.
The owner of the farmhouse is a middle-aged couple. The son goes south to work, and the old couple rents out the vacant house to tourists to earn some pocket money to subsidize their family income.
The boss is not tall, dark-skinned, wearing a sheepskin coat, cheerful personality, and has a mouth full of corn stubble taste.
The boss’s wife made a table of authentic Northeast farm dishes for Jin Guoer, and the boss took out the homemade Guandong roasted knife.
"Old girl, they all come to travel in groups, why did you come by yourself?"
The boss poured a cup and pushed it to Jin Guoer, poured another cup himself, took a small sip, and made a hissing sound.
"Take a sip and warm your stomach."
Jin Guoer picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was indeed strong enough, as if a ball of fire had passed through her throat, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.
"I'm not here to travel, I'm here to find He Yuanliang to do business."
"He Yuanliang?" The boss was stunned, nodded, picked up a piece of roe deer meat and put it in the golden fruit bowl.
"You should be talking about the medicine king He Yuanliang, right? If you came a few days in advance, you might have seen it, but now..."
"What's wrong now?" Jin Guoer asked hurriedly.
The boss lady came in with a washbasin-like vegetable bowl and placed it in front of Jin Guoer: "Don't just drink, try the boiled fish I made."
The boss's wife took off her apron and said, "You don't know, big girl. Last week, He Yuanliang went into the mountain to collect herbs and was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. After unconsciousness, he rolled down from the mountain. After finding it, he was left with a breath, and he was in danger."
Jin Guoer felt a little nervous. If the person is gone, how can she still talk about business?
"Why don't you send it to the hospital!" Jin Guoer said.
The boss lady said: "We have illnesses and disasters here and never go to the hospital. This is the tradition of the older generation. We have medicinal materials at home. If we cure them, we will be able to lively. If we cannot cure them, we will be buried in the back mountain."
During this kung fu, the boss secretly drank a cup of roasted knife and reached for the bottle, but the boss's wife hit the back of her hand with chopsticks.
The boss smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, He Yuanliang just can't do it anymore. He has a son, and the business has to be done. Your medicinal materials can't be escaped."
The boss lady said, "His son went into the mountain three days ago and found some magic medicine for He Yuanliang. He hasn't come back yet. Big girl, if you don't buy much medicine, it's enough to slap and pull on our town. If there is a lot of wholesale, you have to wait for He Sanzhi to come back."
He Sanzhi is He Yuanliang's son. When his wife gave birth to a child, He Yuanliang happened to find three Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain, so he gave this name.
Jin Guoer was worried: "I came this time because I wanted to cooperate with them for a long time. There must be someone who can make a decision. When will He Sanzhi come back?"
The boss's wife shook her head, "I don't know this. I heard that the medicine he is looking for is very precious and rare. It grows at the highest point of Changbai Mountain, where snow monsters will appear in winter, which is very dangerous."
The boss's wife has the potential to speak storytelling. She vividly and body language describes the Changbai Mountain Snow Monster, and her hair is standing upright.
While the boss’s wife was chatting with Jin Guoer, the boss secretly drank two more drinks.
He didn't drink much and was very greedy. After two glasses of wine, he was already blushed and his neck was thick, and his tongue was big. The boss's wife was so angry that she grabbed his ears hard.
The food in the north is very large, but the amount of Jinguo'er eats very small, and there is less than one-fifth of the food on a table.
The wind was blowing outside, and the corn bunches hanging under the eaves of the house were swaying. The boss's wife filled in the stove and made the kang where Jin Guoer was sleeping hot.
Sleeping on the warm kang, Jin Guoer tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She thought that this time she would have a smooth feng shui, but who knew it was full of twists and turns.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Association not only controls the medicinal materials industry in Dongzhou City, but also involves the medicinal materials market in several large urban areas. If they want to get a first-hand medicine source, they will not be restrained by the other party, and can only come to the three eastern provinces, a place that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association cannot reach.
But unexpectedly, He Yuanliang, known as the King of Medicine, was injured and unconscious. His son went into the mountain to find medicine. If there was a three-length and two-length problem...
Thinking of this, Jin Guoer couldn't sleep anymore. She got up from the kang, put on her clothes, and carried her luggage and pushed the door out.
