Chapter 18 Liu Quan's Shenanigans

• Liu Cuihua recognized the kudzu roots.
• A while ago, Sun Jianguo dug two of them in the mountains and brought them back.
• The horses haven't even eaten them yet.
• "Not bad, this is a medicinal herb. I can't explain the specifics for now, but after everyone finishes digging, process them properly and bring them to my house to weigh. I'll pay you all."
• "Xiaofan, how much are you planning to pay us per kilogram?"
• "Yes, that's the key."
• Liu Ying and Liu Cuihua weren't concerned about what these things were used for.
• They wanted to know how much money they could earn.
• Regardless of whether it was profitable or not, it was all up to Lin Fan. As long as he paid, it was fine.
• "Ten yuan per kilogram."
• "Ten yuan per kilogram!"
• When this price was announced, the women were all shocked.
• They were too excited to put it into words.
• With just a few sweet potatoes, they could dig up enough to make a kilogram! After bringing them back and processing them with water, they could earn ten yuan!
• This was definitely a great opportunity!
• "Of course, I have some requirements. We will gradually expand our operations, not just digging this type, but also this one."
• Lin Fan skillfully dug up a plant of indigofera tinctoria.
• "Are you all familiar with this herb? This one is fifteen yuan per kilogram."
• "Fifteen yuan per kilogram!"
• "Xiaofan, you better not deceive us!"
• "Yes, Xiaofan! If you deceive us, we will all fight you!"
• Liu Ying, Liu Cuihua, and the others looked around and saw the abundance of the herbs that Lin Fan pointed out.
• There were a large number of them!
• If they dug them all up, they would earn a significant amount of money!
• It would be better than working outside for a year!
• "I won't disappoint everyone. Now, take a careful look at how to dig up these two types of herbs."
• Lin Fan demonstrated carefully, and then allowed them to start.
• Medicinal herbs required intactness in order to preserve their medicinal properties.
• Lin Fan didn't need to say much about this; they were all being extremely careful.
• These things were money to them, so they couldn't afford to be careless.
• "Don't waste anything. If it's small, don't dig it up. Save it for later."
• "Xiaofan, don't worry, we all know what to do!"
• "Yes, don't worry, we love these herbs even more than you do now!"
• Liu Ying and Liu Cuihua smiled so much that their mouths were crooked.
• They carefully pulled out the kudzu roots and used small hoes to dig up the surrounding soil, using all their strength to dig up the entire herb!
• The others were also busy.
• Seeing this, Lin Fan felt relieved.
• "Xiaoling, you stay here and chat with everyone. If there's any major movement, make a sound to alert everyone to run."
• "Okay, Brother Lin Fan."
• "Xiaofan, we are very familiar with this mountain forest, so don't worry about us."
• "Yes, if you have something to do, go ahead. We understand!"
• Liu Ying spoke confidently.
• When she went out earlier, she heard Sun Jianguo say that Lin Fan wanted to find a few boats to go fishing in Ming Lake.
• "Alright, then I'll go find Uncle Sun first."
• ...
• When Lin Fan came out of the mountains, he saw three people standing on the riverbank from a distance.
• Sun Jianguo, Dazhuang, and Dali.
• These two brothers also had the surname Zhang.
• It was said that the ancestors of Ming Lake Village were two people with the surname Zhang who came to establish the village, so there were many people with the surname Zhang in the village.
• These two brothers were the same generation as Lin Fan, but they were more than ten years older than him.
• They were very honest and down-to-earth.
• "Xiaofan, I heard about your idea. Can it really help your aunt and the others make money?"
• Sun Jianguo had been the village chief for almost ten years, and even if he ruined his brain, he couldn't do something like this.
• It was truly admirable.
• "Yes, I do what I say."
• Lin Fan said confidently.
• "Good, Xiaofan, you just came back to the village two days ago and already brought everyone to make money. You have great skills!"
• "Yes! Our village's Xiaofan is a highly educated person who returned from studying abroad. He must have skills!"
• Zhang Dazhuang and Zhang Dali praised.
• "Haha, Dazhuang, Dali, you don't need to envy others. If we succeed this time, I guarantee that everyone will make money."
• "Xiaofan, are you serious?"
• Sun Jianguo asked excitedly.
• "Of course, but why only Dazhuang and Dali? Aren't there other people?"
• Lin Fan couldn't understand. There should be many men in the village.
• It was scorching hot, so it was impossible for everyone to be busy, right?
• "Oh, I told everyone about your plan earlier, but they didn't pay much attention to me."
• Sun Jianguo said bluntly.
• "Well, that's normal."
• Lin Fan nodded, understanding.
• He had just returned to the village and didn't have any prestige. If he wanted everyone to trust him, he had to show results.
• "Forget about him. Is this boat sturdy? If it capsizes with us in the lake, it will be a mess."
• Lin Fan joked.
• "Haha! Xiaofan, rest assured, this is the only iron boat in our village. Dali personally welded it in town. It took us seven or eight hours to bring it back to the village."
• Zhang Dazhuang said proudly.
• After all, not everyone had this kind of perseverance.
• Unfortunately, after the boat returned to the village, the two brothers didn't catch any fish when they went to Ming Lake to cast their nets.
• Unexpectedly, after Lin Fan returned, this boat finally came in handy.
• "Okay, you guys wait here for me. I'll go to the car and get the nets. We'll carry them to the lake together later."
• "Xiaofan, you don't need to help carry. Dali and I will carry it to the lake. Uncle Jianguo, you go with Xiaofan to get the nets."
• Zhang Dali said confidently.
• "Alright."
• Because the road was narrow, the tricycle couldn't come in.
• In a short while, Lin Fan and Sun Jianguo carried the three large nets to the lake.
• The eight-meter-long iron boat was more than enough for four people.
• "Xiaofan, where do you think we should go? We definitely can't cast the nets in the middle. The undercurrents are strong there, and the nets will easily be washed away."
• Sun Jianguo reminded.
• He had been watching Ming Lake for decades, so he had some experience.
• "Let's go to the cliff position where there is water backflow below."
