"Each bowl of medicinal food costs one hundred taels of silver. Until all the medicinal materials are ready, I will provide one bowl every day to regulate your fundamentals, help you restore your physical strength, and ensure that you are no longer as weak as before."

Ran He's words revealed confidence and determination. Judging from Mo Changfeng's condition today, she was already confident about the effects of her medicinal food, and the subsequent mixing was a piece of cake for her.

"Everything is up to you. Thank you for your concern, Miss Ran."

As soon as Meng Changfeng finished speaking, the servant beside him quickly presented three silver notes worth one hundred taels.

"This is the prepaid fee for three days. If the medicinal materials are not complete after three days, I hope Miss Ran can continue to supply them."

Meng Changfeng's arrangements seemed thoughtful and meticulous.

Ran He took the banknote and carefully instructed on some specific details of the medicinal food before slowly leaving the table. Her next step was to go to the account office to collect the proceeds from today's herbal medicine transaction, a full three hundred taels of silver, which was a considerable fortune for a wandering doctor.

Director Xu looked at Ran He's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.

Why hadn't I known about this woman with such great medical skills before? If I had known about it earlier, I would have definitely invited her to the clinic to practice medicine.

Now, Ran He asked for a hundred taels just to prepare medicinal food for Mo Changfeng, which was undoubtedly an unbearable burden for an ordinary clinic.

Director Xu was filled with regret for missing out on such a talented person.

Ran He didn't know all this.

Even though she knew what Director Xu was thinking, it was difficult for her to change her mind easily. Family affairs were numerous and her young son needed care. Opening a clinic was not an easy decision to make.

As usual, she bought the pork she needed at the market and asked the stall owner to deliver it to the designated location. She then strolled leisurely in the bustling market, selecting the small items she liked.

On the way home, a group of men gathered beside a dilapidated hut, waiting to be hired as odd jobs.

Such labor work, such as moving stones, loading and unloading goods, or being hired to repair houses, is relatively easy, but also requires more skills.

When talking about renovation, Ran He couldn't help but think of his own home.

Although the house has become much tidier since the separation, there are still many places that need to be renovated. Only in this way can the living environment be made more comfortable and pleasant.

She plans to build two more wooden houses, one for the children to rest and study, and the other for raising poultry, to contribute to the family's livelihood.

These preparatory work should be put on the agenda now.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the men waiting to be hired and asked, "How much would you pay per day if I were to repair the house?"

When everyone saw that there was business coming, they quickly gathered around, and everyone hoped to get the job.

"Two hundred coins per person per day, and a meal will be provided at noon."

Their asking price was reasonable. After all, it was hard-earned money from early morning till dusk, through sweat.

Once you make up your mind, you must take action immediately. As with everything in this world, if you delay for even a day, many unexpected events will occur, and you will end up anxious and helpless.

When the workers heard this, their faces immediately broke into bright smiles. They originally thought that Ran He would only recruit two or three helpers at most. After all, this was how ordinary people arranged when they were repairing their houses or fixing leaks - hiring one or two temporary craftsmen, plus the help of their own family members, in order to save a little money so that they could live a more affluent life.

However, Ran He's actions were beyond everyone's expectations. She actually recruited all the workers at once. Could it be that there was some unknown wealth hidden behind her family, with a warehouse full of gold and silver?

Although the workers had doubts in their hearts, they were mostly happy. After all, having work to do meant making money, so they would not delve into other things for the time being.

"Okay, we will report to your house on time tomorrow!"

Everyone responded cheerfully, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement.

Ran He nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the narrow alley next to her. Her goal was to find the stall owner who often set up a stall at the end of the alley to sell fresh meat, so as to prepare some ingredients for the coming days.

At the same time, not far away, Xiao Goudan was carrying a basket full of wild mushrooms and fungus with difficulty. Although his steps were heavy, a satisfied smile was on his face. He moved towards Ran He's house step by step.

Although Ran He's residence is remote, it has its unique advantages. There is no need to trek down the mountain, and you can reach it by just turning slightly halfway up the mountain.

On the way, Xiao Gou Dan met a few middle-aged women who were chatting. They were attracted by the rich harvest in Xiao Gou Dan’s basket at first sight, and their curiosity was beyond words.

"Goudan, mushrooms don't last long. What are you going to do with all of them? Isn't it said that mushrooms are most delicious when eaten right after they are picked?"

There is only enough food in their baskets for one or two meals. After all, in their opinion, the freshest ingredients can produce the best taste.

When asked, the innocent Xiao Gou Dan did not hide anything. Since Ran He did not specifically ask him to keep it secret, he told her frankly, "It was Sister Ran who wanted it. I don't know what she was going to do with it, but she told me that if I picked it, she would pay me by the pound. One pound costs ten cents."

"what?!"

The auntie who asked the question was surprised. How could such wild things be sold at a high price of ten coins per pound? The morning mist made the mushrooms absorb moisture and look very heavy. Xiao Gou Dan's basket was estimated to be at least 20 to 30 pounds. In this way, wouldn't a trip to pick them earn 200 to 300 coins?

Thinking of this, the aunt's breathing became rapid.

You know, her husband only earned two hundred cents after working hard all day in the town.

If picking mushrooms could really make money this way, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.

"Goudan, ask Sister Ran if Auntie can help pick some too. I'm deft with my hands and can pick a lot and quickly!"

The aunt pleaded urgently, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Xiao Gou Dan did not agree. Of course, he had to consult Ran He first. "Okay, I'll ask your aunt for you."

He answered obediently.

"Goudan is such a sensible child. If this works out, I'll buy you some candy next time."

The auntie promised with a smile.

After the two said goodbye, the news spread quickly in the village like wings, and people started talking about Ran He buying mushrooms and fungus at high prices.

At first, most of the villagers were skeptical. If these mountain products were not eaten in time, they would lose their value. What was she collecting them for? However, after careful consideration, no matter what the purpose was, making real money was the most important thing. Therefore, everyone began to silently plan their own plans.

At the village chief's home, the village chief's wife mentioned to her husband that she had met Ran He digging medicinal herbs in the back mountain today. The village chief was stunned after hearing it, as if he suddenly realized something and understood the meaning of "regret" that Ran He had mentioned.
