Chapter 1 Valuable Wild Medicinal Materials

The summer and August in northern China are unbearable. A young man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt in a small traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Yanjing walked out of a washing-white short-sleeved man. The young man looked disappointed. This was the 27th family.

This young man is named Mu Wenbin. He is a college student. He just graduated from medical university and can no longer be called a student. Mu Wenbin attended Capital Medical University. After graduating from university, he joined the army of job seekers.

In fact, many hospitals and pharmaceutical companies went to school to recruit students during the fifth year. For him who had excellent grades throughout the university, it should be easy to apply for these units. But I don’t know why every time the interview was passed, these units turned him out for various reasons when they signed the contract.

For the sake of his grandparents and to repay the village, he had to find a job first. He kept running around in various talent markets and even submitted countless resumes online, but without exception, he was all over the sea.

Mu Wenbin still insisted on finding a job, from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to a traditional Chinese medicine company, no one was willing to hire him. Soon Mu Wenbin's living expenses were used up and he had no money to pay the rent and could only sleep on the bench in the park at night.

There was no way, he could only lower the standards and temporarily chose small clinics or Chinese medicine shops. During college, he worked in a Chinese medicine shop called Baicaotang. He was very familiar with a shopkeeper named Wang. Manager Wang had a good impression of him. After hearing about his difficulties, he took him in. Although his salary was not much, he only had less than 3,000 yuan a month. Fortunately, he was responsible for food and accommodation.

After more than a month, one day, the shopkeeper called him and said that the boss had something to ask him for, and waited for him in the office upstairs. The boss only came to the store once occasionally, and never came after get off work. Mu Wenbin felt a little strange. Did the boss also plan to drive him away like those hospitals or companies? But he went upstairs to the boss's office. There were two rooms in the office, and in addition to the boss Mu Wenbin, he heard the voices of two men in the inner room.

After entering the office, the boss politely greeted him, and then said, "Xiaomu, I heard that your home is from the mountains? How many ginseng pharmacies did you bring in a few years?"

It turned out that I wanted to find wild medicinal herbs. Mu Wenbin was so worried that he was in his stomach and replied: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, my family is in a mountain village, and there are many medicinal herbs in the mountains. When I was a child, I often went to the mountains with my grandfather to collect herbs. In my freshman year, I found a few plants in the mountains and sold them to the medicine shop. At that time, I also thanked my boss for taking care of him. Does Mr. Zhang still want wild medicinal herbs?"

The boss said happily when he heard this: "Oh? Xiaomu has been going to the mountains to collect herbs since he was a child. That's great. You know that there are fewer and fewer wild medicinal materials now. I know a few big bosses, and they especially want to find some pure wild medicinal materials, such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. I wonder if your family still has it now?"

"It should be, but it's not easy to find now, but if you go into the mountains and look for it, you should still be able to find some." Mu Wenbin said.

"Hahaha, it's so great. That Xiaomu, I wonder if you are willing to help find it? Don't worry, no matter how long you look for it in the end, you can't find it. The past few days you went to find the medicine, and I will charge you at the highest price in the market. Do you know that a ginseng plant that has been over 20 years old on the market can be sold for at least 50,000 yuan?" The boss said with a smile.

"Fifty, 50,000? I'm willing to go. If Mr. Zhang needs it, I can go to the mountain to collect herbs at any time." Mu Wenbin was very excited when he heard this. He knew that if he was lucky, he could still find a lot of these medicinal materials in those rarely visited mountains.

"The relationship is good. Since this is the case, then thank you Xiaomu, you can go there. After a while, you will clean up and get off work. You won't have to go to work tomorrow. If you buy a ticket, go home directly. By the way, I asked the accountant to leave cash at the counter. You will take it away when you leave, and you will take it as an advance payment. After all, you will also have to pay on the way." Mr. Zhang said happily.

When Mu Wenbin heard this, he left the office, then cleaned up the pharmacy and looked around. Manager Wang and other friends had already left after get off work. He arrived at the counter and opened the cash box. There were more than 5,000 yuan in it. It was thought that the boss must have left it to him by the accountant.

Before I finished it, Mu Wenbin bought a ticket overnight, took seven or eight hours of train, and took more than an hour to get to the county. He hadn't been home for a long time. He bought some gifts in the county and bought a sesame cake on the side of the road for lunch. He happened to catch the shuttle bus to their town. He took almost two hours to get back to the town, and then walked back to the village. My sister started her senior year early this year, and my grandparents were very happy to see her grandson coming back.

Looking at the gifts bought by the grandson, grandparents felt very distressed. They didn’t feel sorry for their grandson to spend money, but they felt sorry for their grandson. They knew that their grandson had been working part-time at school, but how much money they spent in big cities, and the little money they earned was just enough for the tuition and living expenses. The grandson must be reluctant to spend money at school. These gifts were bought with the money they saved.

Mu Wenbin saw that his grandparents felt distressed, so he quickly explained. He felt relieved when he heard this.

Because he rushed to find medicine, he ate something at home the next morning, handed over the remaining money to his grandfather, and then briefly explained it and carried the tools into the mountain.

The family was not well-off. His family was in a small mountain village called Yongkang, Huibei County, Yuzhou Province. When he was eight years old, he suddenly suffered from malaria in the village. However, due to inconvenient transportation, the people in the village had no time to send them to the hospital. Many people unfortunately died, including his parents, whose grandparents raised him and his sister since childhood. Later, they were admitted to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Capital Medical University, and the whole village collected all the tuition fees. During college, he saved money and used his spare time to work in the Chinese medicine shop and went to the mountains to collect herbs during the summer vacation to earn tuition and living expenses.
