They stayed in the park for one night. Although the weather in March was still a bit cold, it could not stop the extremely excited and passionate hearts of Pi Qinghua, Lang Zhi and Dahei, two people and one dog!

Every time Pi Qinghua thought of the eighteen gold bars in his bag, he wished he could stay in the presidential suite. That night, any homeless person in the park who dared to walk ten steps around him would be scared away by this man's extremely ferocious left face.

Langzhi was holding his Grey Wolf bag, staring at the surroundings with his eyes wide open, until he fell asleep, his eyes were still half open and half closed. As for the dog Dahei, it was even more outrageous. That night, all the dogs in the park were frightened by its occasional barking, making it impossible for the dogs to sleep well.

The result of being on high alert was that early the next morning, Pi Qinghua, his dog and theirs all got black circles under their eyes. Because Dahei was a mangy dog with pure black fur, its color had an advantage and no dark circles could be seen. However, its eyeballs were full of red bloodshot.

The family, which was not a good-looking one to begin with, has now become even more unapproachable to all gods and ghosts. All the cats and dogs, young and old, who came for morning exercises nearby, automatically stayed away from the two people and the dog, for fear of being noticed or pestered by them.

However, for Pi Qinghua's family, other people's opinions can't cause them any harm at all. If they care about other people's opinions, Pi Qinghua would have been depressed. So Pi Qinghua first took Langzhi to the old lady's stall in the park to buy two clean parent-child outerwear sets, and then washed their faces and brushed their teeth at the public faucet. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Immediately, Pi Qinghua and Langzhi's image became energetic and healthy. Of course, Pi Qinghua's left face is still unsightly.

Afterwards, Pi Qinghua pulled Langzhi to the breakfast stall, walked to the corner, turned his head to cover his left face, and asked Langzi to buy four breakfasts.

As a result, Xiao Langzi brought back four and a half servings.

"Did they give you half an extra portion because you looked pale?" Pi Qinghua raised his eyebrows.

Lang Zhi, with his handsome face, denied it seriously: "No, I just called her beautiful auntie and said that I have a big appetite and this meal is delicious."

Pi Qinghua rolled his eyes, then chuckled twice: "Well done! This is how you buy things from now on!"

Xiao Langzhi nodded coldly. The contrast was so cute.

No matter how hungry they were, after only two people and a dog finished a four and a half minute breakfast, they were still very full. In the end, Pi Qinghua and the others moved all the way to the Chinese medicine street.

There are small vendors selling all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines everywhere. Some have signs saying that they are authentically dug from the wild, while others seriously say that they are home-grown. In short, there are all kinds of people here, so it is a place worth visiting with caution.

At this time, Pi Qinghua's face was covered with a high-end anti-smog mask that covered most of his face, while Xiao Langzi's face was a children's mask with a rogue rabbit pattern. At this time, Langzhi was in a bad mood, because when choosing a mask, he strongly requested the blue checkered formal mask but was rejected by his second father. Now this mask is really ugly and childish, really... Look at me again! Look at me again and I will confiscate your family in the future! !

With the mask, Pi Qinghua's face looked much more normal, except for a burn scar around the left eye. The rest was normal and even beautiful, so no one paid much attention to him. After all, in this place, everyone's main concern was various medicinal herbs and trading.

Pi Qinghua and Xiao Langzi walked along like they were watching the fun, while Dahei had already run deep into the market to find his spring. The two put their bags on their chests and walked to an old man's stall.

"Old man, let me ask you, do you collect tree bark? What kind of tree bark is valuable these days?"

The old man behind the medicine stall was probably seeing a fool asking what kind of tree was valuable for the first time. He couldn't help but smile, showing his big golden teeth and said, "Hey, the bark of the strychnos nux vomica is valuable. The question is, do you have it?"

Pi Qinghua was surprised by the big golden teeth, and then he really wanted to say that he could really have this. But he also knew that the old man was joking with him, so he thought about it and changed his approach: "What kind of tree bark do you collect here? Or fruit peel or something, tell me! I have a forest at home, and I want to pick some good things to make some money."

As Pi Qinghua spoke, he took out a green bill from his pocket.

The old man took a look and was about to show some disgust, but when he saw someone nearby looking at the money curiously, he quickly put the money away and put it in his pocket.

"Hey, what's the big deal? For tree bark, we have Magnolia officinalis bark, Eucommia bark and Phellodendron chinense bark. The three types are different in type and thickness, so the price is naturally different. It's about 15-20 yuan for general goods. If you have it, go to the big herbal medicine shops at the innermost part to sell it. If the quality is good, someone will definitely buy it. But if the quality is average, they have their own supply channels and will either lower the price or not buy yours."

As the old man was talking, someone nearby who liked to join in the fun couldn't help but interject, "You can also set up a stall here to sell your wares, but it will be slow to sell and you'll have to fight for space."

"Go away, you idiot. You have no right to speak here."

After listening for a while, Pi Qinghua knew which tree barks he should paint to sell for money. Thinking of hearing other news, Pi Qinghua dragged Lang Zhi to wander around the medicinal materials street and the big market for most of the day. In the end, he heard a lot of tricks.

He found out that a kind of bark was very valuable, that is the bark of the Cabinda tree, which is produced in Angola at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. It must be said that some things have never changed from ancient times to the present. The ancients would secretly spend thousands of gold for tiger penis wine, and men today are willing to buy Cabinda bark at a high price.

Smart people can definitely guess what the Cabinda bark is used for. It is a powerful aphrodisiac when used to make wine. Compared with the cheap goods such as Eucommia ulmoides, Phellodendron chinense and Magnolia officinalis bark, which are only 15 yuan per catty in mainland China, the Cabinda bark is sold by the gram! 50-100 yuan per gram! !

After hearing the news, Pi Qinghua immediately thought of the way to make a fortune in the future. He could become a millionaire by selling Cabinda bark! As for how he would sell it and how to prove that his bark was Cabinda bark, Pi Qinghua laughed in his heart. He was a man, so he naturally knew that some people would rather miss a thousand than miss one.

As long as he can draw it and prove that the bark he drew has the same effect as the original bark, he can create a high-end aphrodisiac sales route! By then... Hehe, if he can attract his second uncle who always has premature ejaculation, it will be a really happy thing. By then, as long as he draws a poisonous fake, half of his revenge can be avenged!

“Hehehe… Hahaha!”

"Second Dad, stop laughing. If you continue laughing, I will call 120."

Pi Qinghua's laughter stopped abruptly, he reached out and slapped the little wolf cub, then continued with a sly smile: "Let's go, exchange money, and then buy a house!"
