A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 133: The Rich Village Chief Buys

Lin Sanqi was afraid that his father still had concerns, so he continued to point out:
"And, Dad, think about it, with me here, let alone Angong Pills and Cordyceps, I will get more good medicinal materials when I have the chance. Then I will put them all in the Treasure House. It will be closed for three years, but you can enjoy it for three years after it opens.

Now that the Treasure House is making money, we at Lingnan Hall no longer have to rely on the profits from the clinic. Only when you have money can you prescribe medicine according to your heart, instead of having to prescribe more medicine or expensive medicine just to make more money as we did before.

This is the true return to the original intention of traditional Chinese medicine."

Uncle Lin agreed with Lin Sanqi's words:

"Qizi is right. We cannot do things like making revolution on an empty stomach. If we have no money ourselves but still support others, these people are living Bodhisattvas and can only be worshipped in temples. We ordinary people should still ensure that our families have enough food and clothing and live a comfortable life.

But we Lins cannot do anything that goes against our conscience to make money. Grandpa knows that you have been an honest child since childhood, otherwise you wouldn't have lived in poverty in the Chinese medicine clinic. Now that your family has had good fortune, you should seize the opportunity."

After hearing this, Lin Musen finally figured it out and suddenly burst into laughter:
"Grandpa, I understand. Thank you for your reminder. I know what to do now. I rent this place. I wonder how much the rent is per year?"

Uncle Lin said indifferently:
"Other governments have tax exemptions for attracting investment, so we should take better care of our own people when renting houses. So, you can pay 10 yuan in rent a year for the first three years, and we can talk about the rest later."

The original rent for the photo studio was 200 million yuan a year. After all, it was an independent and prosperous shop in the city center.

Uncle Lin’s 10 a year is almost the lowest price, and it also shows Uncle Lin’s determination to support Lingnan Hall.

After locking the door, Uncle Lin threw the key directly to Lin Musen:

"Asen, take this key and find a decoration company to design it properly. It must look like a traditional Chinese medicine clinic and must be luxurious. Don't be afraid to spend money. Your family will definitely not be short of money in the future."

Lin Musen has already decided to do something big and is in a very happy mood.

Lin Sanqi asked cautiously, "Grandpa, when will we sign the rental contract?"

"A rental contract? Why do you need this? This house is public property. It belongs to every Lin family member. Why do we need a contract if we want to use it for our family? Just go ahead and decorate it. I don't want to see which little bastard dares to question me, Grandpa."

Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up and said, "Grandpa, you are this. During the Anti-Japanese War, you must have been the most powerful Guangdong Army in fighting the Japanese invaders. You must be strong all your life."

Lin Musen was quick to move and stuffed a paper bag into Uncle Lin's hands:

"Grandpa, these are some local specialties from our family. They are all at the insect king level. You can take them back to replenish your body."

Uncle Lin didn't take it seriously. He just waved his hand and left with the paper bag and a bunch of keys. He looked quite cool.

Many northerners may not understand the high status and prestige of a clan leader in a southern village, and wonder how Uncle Lin can arbitrarily control collective assets and accept bribes at will.
In fact, it can be described in one word: local tyrant.

A good patriarch can focus the cohesion of a family, develop it in a good direction, and lead all members of the clan to common prosperity.

Of course, there are also bad patriarchs who lead the entire family astray and end up with the family broken up and people destroyed.

For example, clan leader Lin Peidong had a sharp vision and strongly protected the interests of Shilou Village in the early days of reform and opening up. He insisted on opposing demolition and refused to sell the land, and raised money to build office buildings and commercial plazas.

Doing so is actually detrimental to national interests, but it is his "selfishness" that has made Shilou Village one of the wealthy villages in Huadu.

In addition, the clan leader's majesty is also reflected in one point. For example, if an unfilial descendant makes a mistake and harms the interests of the clan, the clan leader has the right to kick this villager out of the clan tree.

Maybe readers in the north think this is feudal dregs? So what if I'm kicked out of the family tree? It won't cost me anything.

But for the fellow villagers in Dongguan Province or Hujian Province, the villagers who were kicked out of the family tree are like wandering ghosts, and they cannot rest in peace even after death. This is the highest level of punishment and it is terrifying.

So if a clan leader like this gives you some Cordyceps, it means he respects you. It means that he does not treat you as an outsider and will protect you in the future.

If the patriarch does not accept gifts from your family, that is something the clan members should worry about, because it means the patriarch does not take you seriously.

Sure enough, when Uncle Lin returned home and opened the paper bag, he saw at least two kilograms of Cordyceps sinensis inside. He smiled and nodded, muttering to himself:
"Asen is becoming more and more sensible now. It's worth my effort to cultivate him."

The old man is not short of money, but what he values ​​most is the respect from his clansmen, or in other words, face.

Thinking of this, Uncle Lin picked up his phone, took a few photos of the Cordyceps on the table, took out a cigarette for comparison, and then sent it to the "Huadu Clan Leaders" WeChat group, and then sent a voice message to show off:
"Old guys, come and have a look. This is a gift from my nephew. It's the Cordyceps King. You can't buy it even if you have money. Hahaha~~~"

After a while, I heard a voice message and clicked it to listen:
"Ah Dong, where did your nephew buy such a big Cordyceps? Why have I never seen it before?"

Ding Dong, another voice message:
"Lin Peidong, you old fool, you want to have a fourth child after eating such a nutritious food? Hurry up and give it to us to try!"

"That's right. This Cordyceps still has some dirt on it. It looks like it was sent from its place of origin. Peidong, your nephew is really powerful."

Uncle Lin's phone kept ringing with voice messages one after another.

The old man was happy, and an idea suddenly came to his mind:
"These cordyceps are freshly picked from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and airlifted to Huadu. I'm reluctant to share them with you, but if you want to buy some, I can talk to my nephew and give you a 30% discount. I'll still give you some face."

Ding Dong, the message notifications immediately sounded:
"Wait, I'll be at your Shilou Village soon!"

"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!" "You can't eat alone, I'm doing business in Zhongshan, wait for me for two hours!"

"Count me in. My waist has been feeling bad lately, so I need some nourishment!"

When Uncle Lin saw the replies in the group, the smile on his face became even wider. This was another big deal for Lin Musen.

That night, more than a dozen old clan leaders from the wealthy villages gathered in the Lin family ancestral hall, with Uncle Lin happily acting as the host:

"Asen, let me introduce you to the clan leaders of the various villages in Huadu. This is your Uncle Zhang, this is Uncle Li, this is Uncle Qu, this is Uncle Chen, and this is..."

Lin Musen was so exhausted standing there that he kept nodding and bowing, greeting everyone one by one.

Xu Bo from Pazhou Village interrupted impatiently:

"Alright, alright, let's have some tea and chat later. Asen, right? I heard from your grandpa that you have top-grade Cordyceps. Hurry up and show it to us."

Lin Musen quickly apologized with a smile: "Uncle Xu, wait a moment."

Lin Sanqi and Lin Bingqiao received the signal and walked into the living room of the ancestral hall carrying two plastic buckets.

"Uncles, what's in here is the Cordyceps I bought from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau pastoral area. All of them are top-grade products weighing more than one gram each."

While Lin Musen was introducing, Lin Sanqi had already spread a piece of white velvet cloth on the table, and Lin Bingqiao carefully took out the Cordyceps and placed it on the table.

The family of three works together in perfect harmony.

An old man asked curiously:

"Hey, the Cordyceps I bought before was very beautifully packaged, with one Cordyceps in one tube. Why is your Cordyceps so casual, like selling carrots?"

Lin Musen had already prepared a draft, so he boasted:

"Uncle, the Cordyceps you bought before actually cost a lot of money for the packaging, but mine is pure and authentic, with no middlemen making a profit from the price difference. All of it is purchased from herders in the place of origin."

The old clan elders and village chiefs present walked forward one after another, picked up the Cordyceps and examined it carefully.

Lin Sanqi also shouted beside him:
"Grandpas, our Lin family can make a promise about these Cordyceps. If one of them is fake or not wild, we are willing to compensate ten times."

Chief Wei of Lijiao Village often eats Cordyceps sinensis and has the most experience, so he nodded and said:

"It is indeed good Cordyceps. At least the Cordyceps on this table are all real, and they are the rare King Cordyceps. Old guy Lin Peidong doesn't dare to sell us fakes, otherwise he won't be able to stay in Huadu anymore."

Hahaha~~~Everyone around was laughing.

"Okay then, maybe you found some good Cordyceps. And let me tell you, the bigger and thicker the Cordyceps is, the more essence of heaven and earth it has absorbed, and the more nutritious it is. Ah Sen, right? How much do you plan to sell it for per pound?"

Lin Musen knew that this was the best time to flatter Grandpa, so he smiled and said:

"These grandpas are all old friends of my grandpa, and I am embarrassed to make money from them, so I will give you 7% off the market price."

Uncle Lin perked up when he heard this: "How about it? I said 7% off, so it's 7% off. This kind of Cordyceps can even be put up for auction. You'll make a profit if you buy it."

Grandpa Wei nodded, obviously very satisfied with the discount:
"The market price for this top-grade Cordyceps is by the root. If it's one kilogram, it's at least 50. If it's 7% off, it's 35. This price is fine. Give me 5 kilograms."

When Lin Sanqi heard this, he shouted in his heart: "YES!"

A grandpa nearby was surprised when he heard this: "Wow, Lao Wei, you want to buy 5 kilograms, can you finish it?"

"I can eat it myself or give it to others. It's definitely a face-saving thing to show it to social people. Don't you understand this?"

"Old Wei, what you said makes sense. Give me 5 kilograms as well."

"I'll take 5 jin too, as if anyone is short of money."

"Ah Sen, Grandpa also wants 10 kilograms. I wonder if you have enough. I don't want anything less than 1 gram."

Lin Musen really wanted to roar to the sky, and he suppressed his excited heart: "Don't worry, grandpas, I will definitely give priority to you."

At this time, Uncle Lin also had his hands behind his back, watching the lively shopping scene with a smile on his face.

That night, the Lin family sold 70 kilograms of premium cordyceps at 35 yuan per kilogram, and received 2500 million yuan in their bank account...
