Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 767: Chapter 100: Forced Melons Can Be Sweet Too_2

```

This exhibition is a jewelry show; if the color of the flowers is too saturated, I’m afraid it might outshine the main event.

Moreover, considering the cost of transportation and the potential damage to the flowers along the way, Mao Dazhu has been hesitant to take action.

"Planning to dig up the trees in Cherry Valley? Aren’t you afraid that Master Mei will come to your door and pluck out all your beard," Xiao Xian teased with a laugh, noticing that Cherry Valley’s main income has shifted from solely fresh fruits to the equally popular Cherry Juice.

As for Mei Nian, his mind seems to no longer be on those agricultural crops of Cherry Valley.

Calls are constantly coming into the village chief’s place from people wanting to place orders.

"I’ll cut some cherry blossoms that are already broken or pruned and take them back." Xiao Xian noted down Yezi’s phone number, repeated it in her mind to make sure she remembered it, and decided to head over to the Meizi Pharmacy a bit later after confirming the campus number.

Since the beginning of the year, the pharmacy has been doing well. As Xiao Xian entered, she saw Master Huang busily attending to his apprentices while they were cutting ginseng.

Xiao Xian saw him busy and didn’t want to disturb him right away, so she stood outside the counter watching the activity, with a new batch of ginseng and antler displayed in the counter.

The reason it’s called "new" is that when Xiao Xian last visited, the medicine cabinet was filled with some ordinary herbs, but now it has all been replaced with high-quality materials.

The batch of ginseng that Xiao Xian brought in had been bought up by Mr. Pang and other customers some time ago. What’s now displayed on the counter is the new ginseng. The quality is surprisingly good; a quick look by Xiao Xian and you could see that all are wild ginseng with decent age. Though not ancient, they are genuine wild ginseng.

"Master Huang? Are all these from Changbai Mountain?" Xiao Xian asked an apprentice to take out a ginseng root.

"Yes, the lady boss mentioned that before she faced danger in Changbai Mountain, she had found a treasure land where all the ginseng grown were natural Wild Ginseng. Our pharmacy won’t have to worry about the source of ginseng in the future," said Master Huang, twirling his beard and laughing happily. The pharmacy had caused some displeasure with the customers because of the efficacy of the herbs a while ago.

The lady boss came up with an idea and gave two ginseng roots to each of those affected customers, claiming it was like "good things come in pairs" for a touch of New Year’s luck.

The old customers who were originally complaining felt relieved after receiving such a generous gift and dispelled their resentment.

"This old man hasn’t been this comfortable for many years. With this batch of ginseng, our pharmacy can finally hold its head high," It’s not clear if our pharmacy’s good luck or the Xu Family’s bad luck, but I heard they had issues with their ginseng source, and a previously agreed international collaboration also fell through at the last minute.

Listening to Master Huang’s hearty laughter, Xiao Xian’s face also lit up with a smile. It seems the Xu Family really took a heavy hit this time.

Her eyes fell on the rows of ginseng and antlers on the counter, and her smile involuntarily faded a bit.

Ever since Mei Nian entered the mountain, he only moved around near the little log cabin. If he really found a treasure land with growing Wild Ginseng, why would he risk entering the dangerous Snow Gully where the ginseng spiritual vein is located.

```

This matter is likely not simple.

"Xiao Xian, you’ve come. The pharmacy matters have all been settled. Follow me to Cherry Valley," Mei Nian came out of the inner room of the pharmacy, smiling charmingly.

Xiao Xian responded, and after Mei Nian spoke a few words to the shop assistant, they left the store.

Mei Nian drove, with Xiao Xian sitting in the passenger seat. On the way, the two casually chatted, but Xiao Xian couldn’t glean any real information.

She puzzled in her heart. Just by appearance, Mei Nian was still Mei Nian, without any change from before she had left Changbai Mountain.

Yet, after some conversation, Xiao Xian felt something was amiss; when Mei Nian spoke, it seemed like she was deliberately withholding something.

"Master Mei, do you remember last time Cherry Valley’s flower field was ruined by Xu Lan Ya? During my time at school, I heard Xu Lan Ya boasting; it’s just a pity that the ginseng spirit baby wasn’t captured at Changbai Mountain. If they had caught the spirit baby, the Xu Family could have used a special method to extract all the spiritual essence from it," Xiao Xian spoke with an undisguised tone of envy.

Mei Nian’s hands tightened on the steering wheel while driving, and she humphed through her nose, "With the Xu Family’s mediocre skills, I initially thought of leaving them a way out, but now it seems there’s no necessity for that."

As Xiao Xian and Mei Nian were hurrying to Cherry Valley, Xu Zhangfu and his company had already arrived in Beijing.

Upon receiving the message, Xu Lan Ya immediately rushed to the hotel where Xu Zhangfu was staying.

"How exactly do you handle matters? You were tasked to find the Spirit Vein but failed, tasked to cultivate ginseng but failed as well, and now, the traditional medicine market that we had finally secured is practically all lost," Xu Zhangfu had only received the news in the past few days and had no idea how Mei Nian managed to suddenly produce a large quantity of ginseng.

"Grandfather, the old witch from the Mei Family is too cunning. She definitely found a suitable ginseng source in Changbai Mountain. She also had her apprentice Zhu Xiaoxian destroy our garden ginseng in the Spiritual Fruit Garden at the North Campus," Xu Lan Ya said through clenched teeth. She had already started a new ginseng field and had pacified Ye Heng, accelerating the cultivation of new ginseng.

"When did playing dirty ever become the Mei Family’s turn? Lan Ya, can you even say such things? Speaking of underhanded tactics, who can outdo you? Our Bo Hao from our family..." Xu Song, Xu Zhangfu’s eldest son, chided coldly from the sidelines.

"Enough. Regarding the ginseng matter, I’ve already had people purchase a batch of the Mei Family’s new ginseng to see what’s going on. I’ve heard some rumors on my end, something about you spreading news with a guy named Ye Heng at school, what do you plan to do about it?" Xu Zhangfu said with a headache.

The recent events were quite mysterious; not to mention other things, just looking at how Mei Nian started targeting the Xu Family’s medicinal material supply in the market. Furthermore, there were rumors that she had begun talking with a European pharmaceutical company to collaborate on developing ginseng-containing pills.

In the western medicine area, a new small pharmaceutical factory emerged, continuously introducing new drugs like antiemetics and hangover medicine.

"Me and Ye Heng? Grandfather, don’t you know Lan Ya? He’s just one of my underlings, doing the Xu Family’s bidding," Lan Ya cooquetishly said.

"What about that Li Ye? I heard you threw yourself at him and he ignored you. Lan Ya, don’t say I didn’t warn you, the marriage with the Wang Family is set. As for those two men, I’ll give you a couple of months to swiftly deal with them; otherwise, don’t blame your grandfather for being unkind," Xu Zhangfu warned, and upon hearing this, Xu Lan Ya’s smile could no longer stay on her face.
