After signing the contract, Li Qingfeng left with the 135,000 yuan in rent that Shan Feiyang had given him.
Watching Li Qingfeng's departing back, Shan Feiyang couldn't stop smiling.
It seemed as if he were mocking Li Qingfeng, the big fool's, intelligence.
However, Li Qingfeng, who had already left, was beaming with joy, as if love had blossomed in his heart.
"Xiao Hong, did I do a particularly good job today? I'm practically a genius!"
Shan Feiyang said excitedly, his tone filled with pride for his great achievement.
Seeing Shan Feiyang like this, Li Hong knew that a splash of cold water would bring him back to reality.
After a moment's thought, she decided to remind him.
"Master, you've forgotten something!"
"What? I've already made the doctor's fool sign the contract. What else could I have forgotten?"
His words were quite amusing, causing Li Hong beside him to pout her lips.
Then, her words fell like a bucket of cold water, stunning Shan Feiyang beside her.
"You're useless! I think you're the real fool. The medical hall rented forty mu of land for only 100,000 yuan! You want thirty mu, and you've even given away an extra 35,000 yuan..."
Indeed, whenever money was involved, Li Hong's fighting spirit increased tenfold, leaving Shan Feiyang speechless.
However, seeing his increasingly unpleasant expression, Li Hong was likely in for trouble.
"Slap!"
"Shut up! You've gone too far."
With a loud, resounding slap, Li Hong, whose fighting spirit had been at its peak, instantly deflated.
Looking at Shan Feiyang before her, rubbing his slightly red and swollen cheek, she didn't dare to say another word.
And so, this farce finally came to an end.
As for the village chief Shan Feiyang's losses, it's likely no one will ever know, and he certainly wouldn't allow anyone to speak of it.
At this moment, Li Hong's dissatisfaction with Shan Feiyang grew even more.
However, she didn't say anything, as she still depended on Shan Feiyang for now, didn't she?
Meanwhile, Li Qingfeng returned directly to the medical hall. As soon as he entered, he said to Pan Xiaolian beside him.
"Aunt Pan, let's clear out a space to cultivate some Isatis tinctoria!"
"Qingfeng, are you really planning to use all ten mu of this barren mountain to plant Isatis tinctoria?"
"Hahaha! Aunt Pan, how can you still believe his words?"
Hearing Pan Xiaolian's question, Li Qingfeng smiled nonchalantly and retorted.
Seeing Li Qingfeng like this, Pan Xiaolian understood everything. It seemed he wasn't just planning to plant Isatis tinctoria.
However, her curiosity still drove her to ask.
"Then Qingfeng, what other Chinese medicines do you plan to plant?"
Her question momentarily stunned Li Qingfeng. He stood there for a long time without responding.
Soon, however, Li Qingfeng thought of a Chinese medicine that was very suitable for large-scale cultivation: Cistanche deserticola!
Cistanche deserticola is a very common medicinal herb. In ancient times, it was planted extensively in the north and northwest.
Despite its unassuming appearance, it has immense medicinal properties, otherwise, ancient officials wouldn't have held it in such high regard.
Cistanche deserticola, also known as Rou Song Rong and Hei Si Ming, is a medicinal herb that grows particularly well in the north. It is a perennial parasitic herb with thick, fleshy, unbranched stems.
It is warm in nature and sweet in taste. The fleshy stem with scaly leaves can be used as medicine.
Furthermore, Cistanche deserticola has a particularly significant advantage: it can be used to tonify kidney deficiency!
Cistanche deserticola wine and Cistanche deserticola soup are top-tier Chinese medicinal dietary therapies that can maximize this benefit.
With such efficacy, countless people would flock to it.
Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng smiled at Aunt Pan beside him and said, "Aunt Pan, what we will plant is a secret, and also a surprise. You'll know when the time comes!"
Seeing Li Qingfeng's somewhat mysterious expression, Pan Xiaolian became even more curious. However, her rationality overcame her curiosity.
She turned around and began to prepare the nursery beds for the Isatis tinctoria, no longer dwelling on the matter.
Seeing Pan Xiaolian like this, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As expected, his Aunt Pan understood him best.
She knew that if Li Qingfeng didn't want to talk about something, there was no point in asking further, as he wouldn't reveal the answer.
Thus, the two quickly completed many procedures and planted all the Isatis tinctoria seedlings in the nursery beds.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Li Qingfeng looked at the many Isatis tinctoria seedlings at his feet and smiled happily. Looking at Pan Xiaolian beside him, he said joyfully.
"Aunt Pan, our seedling base has initially taken shape. The next step is to develop that barren mountain!"
"What do you plan to do next?"
Pan Xiaolian generally never interfered with such matters, and this time was no different. She directly asked about the final outcome.
Hearing her words, Li Qingfeng looked in the direction of the village, pondered for a moment, and then said to her, "Aunt Pan, there are quite a few strong young men in our village. I plan to hire them!"
"You mean hire those who are farming at home?"
Pan Xiaolian, being exceptionally intelligent, instantly understood that Li Qingfeng intended to hire the young and strong villagers who were engaged in farming.
They were different from others; their thinking was more traditional, and they didn't want to leave home for too long, so they had always done odd jobs at home to supplement their income!
If they were brought in, then the development of the ten mu of barren land would not be a problem.
A smile appeared on Li Qingfeng's lips. He could already see the dawn of victory. However, at this moment, Pan Xiaolian beside him suddenly poured cold water on him.
He heard Pan Xiaolian directly ask, "Hiring them is fine, but how much are you planning to pay them per day?"
"And what about the various subsidies for hiring, such as lunch and drinking water? Are you planning to provide all of that for them?"
The undeniable fact was that Pan Xiaolian was too familiar with these issues. Therefore, she easily brought up all the crucial points.
However, each of these points, even one of them, was a considerable problem, let alone her bringing them up all at once.
Indeed, after hearing Pan Xiaolian's words, Li Qingfeng was immediately troubled. He didn't know what to do next because there was no reference point for any of these things.
Everything, it seemed, would have to rely on Li Qingfeng himself!
