Chapter 1238 It’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish

"Yes, village chief, hurry up and bring all the herbs out to Dr. Bai, and I'll give you money on the spot!" Shanzi shouted again.

Everyone's attention shifted from the handsome men and beauties and the tall horses to the money. Many people excitedly asked if it was true. Then many people ran away quickly and went home to get herbs.

Of course, there are still many people who have not left. They are the elderly, women, and children from each family. After all, it is enough for one person to go to get the herbs.

Bai Ruozhu, Jiang Yichun and others dismounted, saluted and greeted the village chief, and then someone quickly came over with herbs.

Bai Ruozhu asked the visitors to line up. She looked at them one by one and gave them money. Jiang Yichun didn't want her to work too hard, but Jian Qi and the others didn't understand herbal medicine, so he took the initiative to help Bai Ruozhu put away the herbal medicine.

He asked the villagers to form another team, but he always had a cold face and even the timid ones refused to go to his team. On the contrary, the team in front of Bai Ruozhu was still very long. He realized this and could only squeeze out a little Smiling, she tried her best to speak in a gentle tone: "It's the same thing if you come to my place. If it's faster, you can get your money and go home for dinner earlier."

Bai Ruozhu almost laughed when she saw his appearance from the side. It was really hard for him.

"You have done well as a member. I will promote you when you get back." Bai Ruozhu teased him with a smile.

Jiang Yichun gave her a funny look and said, "Promotion is unnecessary. Rewards must be given."

Looking at his shining eyes, she immediately realized what the "reward" was. Thinking of saying such words in front of so many people, her face couldn't help but burn. Fortunately, the sky was getting dark at this moment, and there were lanterns on both sides. Her face was illuminated by the dim candlelight, and no color could be seen.

Fortunately, the population in the village is not large, so all the herbs were collected quickly. The villagers received two or three times more money than usual, and all of them were so happy that they could not close their mouths.

"Doctor Bai, you are a good man. Come to my house for dinner tonight and I will kill a chicken for you!" an old lady said enthusiastically.

"Come to my house. I just shot a hare today and asked my mother to stew it. I guarantee you will like it!" said a man in his thirties.

"Come to my house, come to my house, my family is so lively." Another old man yelled.

"..."

Faced with the warm invitation from the villagers, Bai Ruozhu felt warm in her heart. The people here are simple and kind. If you treat them sincerely, they will try to repay you. Her actions this time are not only for the northwest of the Medical Alliance The district has found a fixed source of herbal medicine that can also help these villagers. This is why she has to come here no matter how tired or busy she is.

Finally, it was the village chief who spoke, "Stop arguing. The guests are exhausted. They will go to my house tonight. I will treat them to dinner on behalf of everyone. They will also sleep at my house tonight."

There is no one to fight this time. The village chief is highly respected in the village and can indeed represent everyone.

Finally, the village chief told everyone to disperse and took Bai Ruozhu and the others home. However, he also asked Xiaoliu and Shanzi to come with them. After all, they were also today's heroes.

Xiaoliu and Shanzi had been praised more than once by everyone, and their faces were glowing. They felt that it was right to go to the city to sell medicine in the first place, otherwise they would not have met Bai Ruozhu.

The village chief's family has many children and many houses, but they are not much better than the houses of other villagers, except that they can free up more houses.

Bai Ruozhu was afraid that the village chief's family would not have a good rest, so they only wanted two rooms, one for her and Jiang Yichun, and one for Jian Qi and the others.

The village chief quickly vacated the room, set up a large table in the main room, and soon the meals were served one after another.

At this time, a call came from outside, "Village Chief, I have sent rabbit meat to Doctor Bai."

"This is the egg pancake that my family sells. Let Dr. Bai and the others try it."

"This is the fish I just caught. Village Chief, you burned it for Doctor Bai and the others."

After a while, many people gathered at the door of the village chief's house and expressed their feelings. Even though they could not invite Bai Ruozhu to dinner, they also wanted to give what they had to offer.

Bai Ruozhu walked to the yard to thank everyone, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, we can't eat much. You have good things for the children to eat, so that the children can grow better."

The villagers smiled and handed over the things and left, not daring to delay Bai Ruozhu and the others' meal.

The village chief's family also specially added dishes, plus things sent by the villagers, and the table was full. Although they were all home-cooked, Bai Ruozhu tasted them particularly delicious. There was an extra touch of affection in these dishes. Even the most common green vegetables feel sweet.

After the meal, Bai Ruozhu chatted carefully with the village chief.

"Village Chief Wang, you can represent the whole village, so I hope to sign a contract with the village. On the one hand, all the herbs you pick will be supplied to me. On the other hand, the price will also be agreed upon. I will not lower the price for you at will. I'll suffer a loss." Since it's a long-term cooperation, it's best to clarify the contract and so on.

The village chief said hurriedly: "We trust Dr. Bai's character."

"One code is one code. With the deed, I will leave it to the people below to take responsibility in the future. I won't worry that they dare to bully you behind my back. As for the price, if the market price rises in the future, I will increase the price for you accordingly. I will not let it go. You will suffer a loss." Bai Ruozhu assured.

The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to Dr. Bai."

"One more thing, I found that many of the herbs handed over by the villagers were not dried well, which reduced the medicinal properties of the herbs. It is really a pity." Bai Ruozhu continued.

The village chief's heart tightened, "I-I'll talk to them later and tell them to do it more carefully."

"Village Chief, you have misunderstood me. I observed that no one in the village seems to know how to prepare medicinal materials." Bai Ruozhu hurriedly interrupted the village chief.

"Yes, we only know how to collect herbs, and there isn't even a real doctor in the village." The village chief sighed.

"I will send people over later to teach the people in the village how to better prepare the medicinal materials. Each family can send someone to learn, or teach a few people first, and then they are responsible for teaching others. When collecting the medicinal materials, the prepared ones will be processed accordingly. Add more money." Bai Ruozhu just thought about it. She wanted to help the people in Xishan Village, but this kind of help cannot be based only on sympathy. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. It is better to prepare well-prepared herbs than to dry them indiscriminately. The herbal medicines here are more expensive, so doctors can use them better when they get them, and the people in Xishan Village can also have one more skill.

The village chief's hands trembled with excitement, "This, I'm so grateful to Doctor Bai." After saying that, he stood up and kowtowed to Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Kowtow to me, elders." Aren't you going to shorten my life? I don't like to see people kneel and kowtow. Village chief, please don't embarrass me."

After hearing this, the village chief couldn't hold on anymore, and instead kept bowing to Bai Ruozhu, "On behalf of the whole village, I would like to thank Dr. Bai for his great kindness!"

The fifth update is done. I'm going to bed. I'll continue tomorrow. Good night everyone~
