Chapter 156: Chapter 157: Working Hard to Earn Money

"Oh, you’re here?" Li Yang smiled. ’Good, this will make things easy.’

"Say, didn’t you want to buy the secret recipe for my medicinal wine before?"

"Please, don’t joke..." He Weiweng thought Li Yang had come to cause him trouble again. Terrified, he quickly waved his hands. "Divine Doctor, I was wrong last time. I was truly a blind fool. Please, don’t hold it against me."

’This man could poison me without me even realizing it, and look what he did to me last time. Killing me would be child’s play for him.’ He was utterly terrified and hurriedly backtracked. "Divine Doctor, I really didn’t mean any harm! I can apologize! I won’t dare to do it again..."

"Relax!" Li Yang was exasperated. ’Looks like this guy is genuinely scared of me.’ "I didn’t come to settle a score. I just want to propose a partnership. Let me ask you, you wanted the medicinal wine, so there must be a demand for it, right?"

He Weiweng finally breathed a sigh of relief. ’As long as he’s not here to cause trouble, I can handle this.’ "Er... yes, there’s a huge demand. A lot of middle-aged men suffer from... men’s health issues. We have several dozen cases on file, and plenty more who have asked about it without being registered. I only got that idea last time because I heard the medicinal wine truly had miraculous effects..."

His voice grew quieter and quieter, afraid that Li Yang might still hold it against him.

"Dozens, you say?" Li Yang’s eyes lit up.

’Dozens of customers could easily finish off this bottle of medicinal wine.’

"Alright, then it’s simple. I’ll let you sell my medicinal wine here," Li Yang said seriously. "I’ll sell it for ten thousand yuan per course. Drink it for five consecutive days, and it will completely cure the condition. You help me sell it, and I’ll give you a ten-percent commission."

He Weiweng thought he had misheard. "Divine Doctor Li, are... are you serious?"

"Of course I am!" Li Yang glared at him. "What I say is true. Would I lie to you? You’ll sell it for me, but I’m warning you: don’t you dare cook the books. If I find out you’re trying to rip me off, I won’t be so polite."

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare..." He Weiweng was overjoyed and quickly explained, "Whatever you sell, I’ll be sure to account for it. I would never pocket your money."

He Weiweng was ecstatic. ’If my shop has this medicinal wine, I’ll be able to attract so many more customers.’

’Besides, he’s giving me a one-thousand-yuan commission per course. That’s already a huge profit. And given how intimidating Li Yang is, I wouldn’t dare try to cheat him.’

"Good. Here are two bottles!" Li Yang set out the medicinal wine. "Sell them well. I’m in dire need of money right now, understand?"

"Yes, I won’t let you down!" the old man said happily.

Only then was Li Yang satisfied. "Alright. You get started on selling these. If you run out, just let me know."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

With that settled, Li Yang headed back to the village.

He needed to go to Taomu Village and get a few more snakes for his wine.

’This stuff is really in high demand.’

Arriving in Taomu Village, he found Uncle Gui Fa.

"No problem!" As soon as he heard Li Yang wanted to find snakes again, Uncle Gui Fa agreed without a second thought.

"Uncle, I’ve taken care of that business. They won’t bother you again," Li Yang said.

Uncle Gui Fa looked astonished. He and his wife had been worried sick at home these past few days, wondering if those people would come back to bother them. He never expected Li Yang to have already resolved it. ’What a relief.’

"Xiaoyang, thank you so, so much..."

"Uncle, there’s no need for that. Come on, if you really want to thank me, take me to catch a few snakes."

"Alright..."

...

Uncle Gui Fa truly lived up to his reputation as a master snake catcher, leading Li Yang to capture three snakes.

This time, however, they didn’t see the giant snake.

’Looks like the giant snake really took my advice and moved deeper into the mountains.’

’That’s for the best. If ordinary people can’t see it, it’s better for everyone involved.’

After they returned, Li Yang asked, "By the way, how’s the duck purchasing going?"

"Great!" Uncle Gui Fa said happily. "Everyone in the village has agreed to sell their ducks to us. The price you offered is fair, so no one has any complaints. In fact, many are already planning to get new ducklings to raise."

"Are you using the feed I gave you to raise them?" Li Yang asked.

"We are!" Uncle Gui Fa said cheerfully. "I used five thousand from the hundred thousand yuan we were compensated with to buy a tricycle. Now I can just drive over to your village to pick up the feed. It’s so convenient! Oh, and your sister-in-law said they need to be on it for a week, right? That means they’ll be ready to sell in a couple of days."

"Perfect!" Li Yang laughed. "My sister-in-law will contact you then. We’ll probably have to trouble you to bring the ducks over to our village to sell."

"No problem, it’s a small thing!"

Li Yang smiled faintly, then drove his pickup truck back to the village.

The first thing he did when he got back was prepare the medicinal wine. By the time he was finished, it was already around seven in the evening.

Ye Xiu ran over to call Li Yang home for dinner.

’It’s been a few days since I’ve eaten with Ye Xiu,’ Li Yang thought, and immediately ran over.
