Zhao Jinbao walked in front of the herb shop. He had read about this medicine in the books, it seemed to be called Earth Yellow, and it was very valuable, but in the rural areas, there were very few people who could grow it, after all, it could only grow for a season every year. If the harvest was not good, it was very likely that they would lose money, so everyone would rather plant it honestly than take this risk.

"Young man, come take a look at the herbs." The old man who set up the stall saw that Zhao Jinbao was staring at the yellow ground and greeted him. However, he did not expect Zhao Jinbao to be able to buy it, as a young lad now, how could he be interested in medicinal herbs?

Seeing the old man greet him, Zhao Jinbao also took the chance and walked over, and asked: "Old man, are you selling earthen yellow?"

"Oh? "You know Dihuang?" The lord's eyebrows twitched; he did not expect Zhao Jinbao to actually know what he was selling.

"I've seen it in books, but I've never seen it in real life."

He felt that he could do business here, so he said: "Then let's take two catties. The weather is hot now, the earth yellow can defeat fire, and relieve the heat."

"How much for a catty?"

"Twenty."

Zhao Jinbao picked up a ground yellow from the ground and held it in his hands for a while, then said: "Uncle, this is too expensive, the water in your ground yellow is almost gone, it shouldn't be worth this price, right?"

"Hehe, young man, this kind of hot weather is normal. Moreover, you don't know it, but if you do it, the medicinal properties will be better." The grandpa stroked his goatee as he spoke in all seriousness.

Zhao Jinbao only knew that little thing, but it was not like what the old man said. He did not know that he was interested in the Earth Yellow because he wanted to plant something on the two or three acres of land so that it would not become abandoned.

The old man saw that Zhao Jinbao was hesitating a little, and said: "Young lad, if you really want to buy it, we can talk about the price again.

"How much stock do you have besides the ones in the stalls?" Zhao Jinbao asked.

"My family has quite a bit of stock, how much can you want?" The old man was amused, as if Zhao Jinbao was very interested in the earth yellow. The words he had said just now were completely deceiving Zhao Jinbao, he did not expect that Zhao Jinbao really did not know a single thing about the earth yellow.

"I have three acres of land. I want to plant it for the yellow soil."

"That's great. An acre of land requires at least thirty to forty catties of earth yellow soil. Our family still has over a hundred catties left, and we just so happen to sell them all to you." The grandpa smiled, revealing a mouthful of smoky teeth.

"I want to see the goods first, okay?"

"Sure, if it's convenient, I'll take you to see it now."

Since Zhao Jinbao had nothing to do, he decided to go with the old man to his house. The old man's house was caught in a village not far from town, and it only took him twenty minutes to arrive on the third round. Along the way, the old man was laughing merrily and continuously smoking cigarettes for Zhao Jinbao.

When he reached the old grandpa's house, his old wife came out of her house. Hearing that Zhao Jinbao was here to buy yellow, she also enthusiastically greeted him. In a small room beside the main house, several burlap sacks were piled up against each other, and all of them were earthen yellow.

The old grandpa opened up a bag for Zhao Jinbao to see. Although it was a little dry and astringent, it was still very fresh when he opened it up for inspection. However, Zhao Jinbao could not accept the price of twenty pieces of a catty.

The old grandpa was very old, and said that since Zhao Jinbao had bought so many at one go, he would buy eighteen pieces of the silver per catty. When he announced the price, his face even started to hurt.

Zhao Jinbao naturally would not fall for his trick, it was very straightforward, a jin of twelve pieces, after all, this earth yellow was not very fresh.

After the old grandpa heard Zhao Jinbao's bid, he almost jumped up from his spot. With just a simple request, he dropped the price by six dollars.

The old grandpa obviously would not agree with Zhao Jinbao's price. After the two discussed for a while, they finally fixed the price at fifteen yuan.

With regards to the price, Zhao Jinbao was rather satisfied, this was also the reason why he had lowered the price. It was because no matter how much he wanted, the grandpa would always raise the price for him.

Zhao Jinbao said that he temporarily did not have time to transport the Earth Yellow back today. In two days, he would find a car to come over and settle the bill.

The old grandpa happily allowed him to eat at home. Zhao Jinbao rejected the invitation, and since the sky had already darkened, it was time to return home.

After Zhao Jinbao left, the old lady said to the old man, "Isn't fifteen yuan per catty too high? Our place isn't suitable for growing ground yellow.

"Ai, who cares? This thing has already been stored for a year or two. If he doesn't make a move now, all of it will be destroyed. If he wants to plant it, he can just let it grow. We can just live our own lives." the grandpa said.

"Sigh, you …"

Taking advantage of the time when the sky turned dark, Zhao Jinbao ran madly along the forest beside the road back to the village. As the road was for the bus to take, it took a longer detour. Other than the bus, few people would pass by this place, and adding the dark sky, it provided protection for Zhao Jinbao.

As his speed increased unceasingly, Zhao Jinbao's body gradually floated out of the bath. Every time he exerted more strength under his feet, his entire body would leap very high into the air.

Zhao Jinbao thought back to that night when he was floating in the air and the Immortal Cultivator that he had met before. He also wished that he could be like the other party, able to easily step on the void.

Unfortunately, he did not know how to control the power of the dragon pearl at all. He could cure himself by catching fish. He even felt that he was disregarding the dragon pearl. To think that such a divine object was used by him to make money to hook up his little sister.

When they reached home, Sun Cuifaang and Zhao Dazhu heated up the food they left behind. After finishing their meal, Zhao Jinbao took a seat in the courtyard and started thinking about what he needed to do next.

Right now, he had very little money. Just the fish pond and eggs alone could not earn him much money. If he were to plant the earthly yellow seed, he would have to wait another year or so before reaping any harvest. The only advantage of the rural areas was that their environment was good, and there were a lot of land. Zhao Jinbao wondered if he should use all of these resources and turn the Shuangqiao Village into a gold absorbing village.

Previously, he had read about resorts on the internet and felt that Shuangqiao Village was more suited for it. However, the funding aspect was a big problem, so his thoughts could only be put on hold for now.

Zhao Jinbao shook his head, the matter right now was still a little far away from him, he had to make a big deal out of this business, that was what he needed to consider the most right now.

Just as Zhao Jinbao was about to go back to his room to rest, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He had the illusion that he had become the prey in their eyes.
