Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Establishing a Medicinal Garden

“Big Brother Chen, these are all the dried medicinal herbs, and over there are the seeds you were asking for. Take a look at what you need, and I’ll pack them up for you right away.”

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed slightly. If he were to really take everything in this warehouse, he’d be essentially cutting off the village’s lifeline.

But perhaps only by doing so could he bring a new lease of life to the village.

“Take everything!”

Da Hu was simple by nature and didn’t think too much. He immediately packed up all the herbs and seeds here.

But there were too many items; they couldn’t possibly take them all away by themselves.

At that moment, some of the village’s young men suddenly ran over.

“Mr. Chen, could you take us to see the outside world?”

Chen Yu was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the village youth to come to him so quickly.

Now that he had the medicinal seeds, what he lacked were professionals who specialized in planting them. These youngsters had grown up here, adept at cultivating medicinal herbs.

If he brought them back, they could set up a specialized medicinal herb plantation in the shortest time possible.

Without hesitation, Chen Yu had these people take the medicinal herbs and leave the village with him.

As he left, he saw many young people carrying large and small packs, climbing between cliffs and precipices.

This small village had been isolated for thousands of years, yet the outside world had developed too quickly.

With just a little bit of progressive thought introduced here, everyone could be swayed.

Previously, Da Hu simply came into contact with Er Gou and became infatuated with the outside world. Although he couldn’t let go of the village, he would still follow Er Gou outside to sell herbs and was even exploited by him.

Chen Yu guessed that a good number of these young people who left the village would probably be swindled outside. The better scenario would have them returning to the village poor and destitute. In the worst case, they could even lose their lives outside.

But now, Chen Yu simply didn’t have the time to concern himself with these people, and even if he wanted to, they would not appreciate his kindness.

Suzhou City, Li Song Estate.

Ever since taking the medicine Chen Yu gave him, Li Song’s health had improved markedly.

Although he had given away more than thirty years’ worth of treasured liquor, he felt at ease in his heart. Moreover, Chen Yu had also provided him with several fine medicine recipes and secrets to winemaking.

Lately, he had been busy tending to his own vineyard, drinking wine leisurely, truly embodying the lifestyle of his later years.

“Old Master Li!”

Chen Yu called out loudly as he and Da Hu strode into the garden.

“I’ve come to pay a visit!”

Hearing Chen Yu’s voice, Li Song leapt from his chair as if injected with adrenaline.

“Oh my, Xiao Chen is here! What goodies have you brought this time, with all those big and small packages?”

Upon arriving in Suzhou City, Chen Yu had all the finished medicinal products delivered to the industrial park, and brought the rest of the medicinal seeds here.

Though Li Song was living a secluded life, he had an unparalleled manor at his disposal.

When he first arrived, he had specially allocated several plots of wasteland around the villa. Through his cultivation, the fertility of these lands surpassed even the best soil in the world.

Not only did Li Song grow grapes here, but he also cultivated a large number of medicinal herbs, which were significantly more vibrant than those grown outside.

This was why he could so easily produce that kind of medicinal wine.

“These are some medicinal herb seeds, I’d like to borrow the elder’s land to grow them!”

Upon hearing this, Li Song’s smile immediately faded.
