"Can you tell this is wild Dendrobium officinale? And you know the herbalist?"
When the girl heard Ye Feng's words, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise.
"When I revived you just now, you were not so excited." Ye Feng smiled and shook his head. After a joke, he continued, "I said, I am a doctor. Since I am a doctor, how could I not have this little ability to distinguish? How could I not know the unknown hero behind the herbalist?"
The girl looked at Ye Feng in a daze, not knowing whether she was moved by Ye Feng's words or something was touching her heart. Although she pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Don't cry, I hate to see girls cry..."
Ye Feng wanted to raise his hand to wipe away the tears from the girl's eyes, but he felt that this was inappropriate, so he handed her a pack of tissues, then frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, wild Dendrobium officinale should be very valuable. You picked so many, how come you can't even fill your stomach and fainted from hunger here?"
Wild Dendrobium candidum is an incredible herb. In addition to its effects of promoting body fluid and lowering blood sugar, it also has the anti-cancer effect of enhancing the body's immunity. And the wilder the Dendrobium candidum, the stronger the anti-cancer ingredients it contains.
The Chinese people began to pay attention to Dendrobium officinale as early as the Tang Dynasty.
In the Taoist canon compiled during the Kaiyuan period, Dendrobium officinale was once listed as the first of the nine immortal herbs in China.
Moreover, the late Prime Minister, who is well-known and praised by the Chinese people, once presented Dendrobium officinale as a state gift to a sick head of state of a neighboring country. The famous Peking Opera artist Mr. Mei also often used Dendrobium officinale to maintain his health and stay young forever.
With the support of these names and the modern people's emphasis on health preservation, wild Dendrobium candidum is often hard to find, and once it appears, it will be bought at a high price. Some people have even made a comparison that the same gram of wild Dendrobium candidum is worth more than the same weight of gold.
It is really hard to understand why this girl, who picked so many wild Dendrobium officinale, ended up fainting from hunger on the street.
"I tried to find someone to sell them to, but they said the Dendrobium officinale I picked was not wild, but cultivated. I was so angry that I didn't sell them a single one. I kept all of them for myself and would sell them to someone who knew the value of the product."
The girl sniffed stubbornly and said in a deep voice.
This little girl is really stubborn. She would rather starve than sell her things at a low price...
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In this day and age, such people are really rare.
However, he could also understand the thoughts of those drug dealers who did not buy the Dendrobium officinale from the girl. Such a young and beautiful girl did not look like a hard-working herbalist at all.
"Before my father passed away, he passed on his skills to me. He told me that herbalists work with their heads tied to their belts. They must not pass off inferior goods as good ones, or say that farmed products are wild, and they must not let people buy their products at low prices. Doing so would be a blasphemy to the herbalists themselves!"
The girl said righteously with sparkling eyes.
Gurgle…
But as soon as she uttered these decisive words, her stomach growled due to hunger, perfectly destroying the tough image she had established in Ye Feng's eyes.
"Come on, I'll take you to buy something to eat first. Doctors and herbalists are from the same family, you won't refuse this, right?"
Ye Feng realized that this girl would never accept his money, so he took the red note back and smiled at her.
"I'll treat you again after I sell these Dendrobium officinale!"
The girl hesitated, then nodded.
Just as Ye Feng said, there is indeed a special relationship between herbalists and doctors. They are colleagues who complement each other. When colleagues treat each other to a meal, it is considered an emergency measure, not alms.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to treat me to a meal." Ye Feng nodded randomly.
The most urgent task now is to coax the girl into having a full meal. As for whether she will return the invitation or not, Ye Feng really doesn’t care about such a meal. Besides, by the time the girl sells the Dendrobium officinale, he will probably have left the Tiantai Islands.
When people are very hungry, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs rather than eating delicacies, so Ye Feng did not make it too particular and just treated the girl to a meal in a small restaurant on the roadside.
We ordered some home-cooked dishes such as braised pork with eggplant and shredded pork with green pepper, nothing expensive.
The girl was probably so hungry that she tried hard to remain polite. But when the dishes were served, she couldn't help it and ate two large bowls of rice. If Ye Feng hadn't been afraid that her stomach would burst, she would have eaten three bowls.
"Boss, give me a bowl of refreshing drink to go with the rice..."
Seeing that the girl was about to burp, Ye Feng raised his hand and asked the boss to bring a bowl of Qingbuliang for the girl to calm her burps. Then he said to the girl, "Shi Lan, there are too few people on the island who buy medicinal herbs, and there are not many experts. You can go to a big pharmacy in the city to have a look. Maybe there will be someone there who has a discerning eye for gems."
While eating, Ye Feng also found out the girl's basic situation.
The little girl's name is Shilan. It's a very simple name, but it fits the habit of herbalists dealing with herbs. Orchids growing on stones are always more attractive than other plants growing on stones.
He also learned from Shi Lan that all the drug dealers on the island had been questioned by her and no one was willing to believe her.
Shi Lan nodded, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
The drug dealers on the island didn't believe him, so how could those on land believe her
Especially when the other party saw that she was just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, they would come up with the idea of deceiving her into buying these Dendrobium officinale at a low price. Even if she went to the shore, it would probably not be easy to sell.
"Of course, if you think it's okay, I can also take down this batch of Dendrobium officinale."
Ye Feng took a quick glance and saw through Shi Lan's little thoughts. After thinking about it, he smiled.
Dendrobium officinale is an anti-cancer drug and is very beneficial to the human body. It is very suitable to be added to the prescription of "Light of Traditional Chinese Medicine" to enhance human immunity.
"You want to buy it? But I'm afraid you won't be able to use all the Dendrobium officinale you bought, right?"
Shi Lan was delighted when she heard that, but then she stared at Ye Feng in confusion and asked.
Although she wanted to sell this batch of Dendrobium officinale, she didn't want Ye Feng to buy these herbs out of sympathy.
"The Dendrobium officinale you picked is very fresh. I want to take them back and raise them so that they can reproduce slowly..."
Ye Feng smiled and stated his intention.
Tianyuan Group has planted a lot of medicinal herbs in its underground medicinal fields, but there is no Dendrobium officinale yet. This batch of Dendrobium can be used to expand the collection, allowing them to take root and sprout there, in case of emergency.
"Cultivating wild Dendrobium officinale?" But at this moment, Shi Lan shook her head firmly and said, "Don't lie to me. Wild Dendrobium officinale cannot be cultivated a second time, and it is impossible to keep it alive. You don't have to buy these just because you feel sorry for me."
