“Can you tell your uncle that I want to be the sole contractor of Nanshan Hill for another 20 years. But please keep that from my parents for now,” Wang Yao said.
“No problem!” Wang Mingbao said,
"I guarantee no one else can rule over your hill, not even Wang Jianli!" Wang Mingbao reassured Wang Yao.
“Stop!” laughing Wang Yao.
Wang Yao knew his friend was confident enough to keep his promise. Wang Mingbao's father used to serve as a senior officer in the army and later he became deputy mayor of the county after he retired. His family is also the largest in the village. Every word of it carries weight.
After some chatter, Wang Mingbao left the hill.
After walking around the herb field, Wang Yao took out a small shovel from the hut. He dug the sealwort carefully next to the herb field. Only sealwort root has a pharmaceutical effect. Usually the longer the sealwort grows, the larger the roots.
“This is it?!” wang Yao said to himself.
After digging the sealwort, Wang Yao was stunned.
“Yes God, so big!” She's amazed.
Wang Yao had seen sealworts many times in the past. But this was the first time he had witnessed a sealwort weighing over 5 kilograms with a length of over 40 centimeters.
“Do I really grow this ?!” Wang Yao could not believe it.
Wang Yao was very happy after seeing the size of the sealwort.
Given the size and weight of the sealwort, I will definitely complete the task successfully. And the quality of the sealwort must be outstanding from its appearance, Wang Yao thought.
But unlike dates that can be tasted to see their quality, herbs cannot be eaten carelessly. I have to test it by authority, Wang Yao decided.
Wang Yao immediately took action. He placed the sealwort into the bag after washing it, locked the door to his cottage and went into town on his motorcycle.
After he arrived in the city, he went to check the purchase price of fresh sealwort at the herb shop.
“16 yuan per kilogram,” the shop assistant told Wang Yao without lifting his head.
“Kok can be really cheap? I saw online that the sealwort was worth more than 40 yuan per kilogram,” Wang Yao asked puzzledly.
“More than 40 yuan per kilogram? You're talking about dry sealwort. Rarely can a fresh be worth that much. They must be wild sealworts that grew over the years,” the shop assistant said with disdain.
“Thank you.” Wang Yao left because he thought the shop assistant was too arrogant.
Then he went to the related department and spent several hundred yuan to test the quality of his sealwort.
“Halo? Have we met before?" the lab assistant in charge of testing said after he glanced at Wang Yao.
“Sorry, I don't remember,” said Wang Yao.
“Oh, now I remember. I bought your date; they are so delicious!” the lab assistant said with a smile. Wang Yao's date was very impressive.
“Oh, I see,” said Wang Yao with a smile.
“Do you still have a date left for sale?”
She was not only a dating fan of Wang Yao, but also all of her family members. Although dates are more expensive than average, they taste divine and are highly nutritious.
“Sorry, I don't have a date anymore. Can you see that sealwort?” Wang Yao asked.
“Sure, let's get back to business. So you also grow herbs?” the lab assistant asked.
“Yes, just a little,” replied Wang Yao.
“Oke, let me see. Good Lord! Is this really sealwort?!” The lab assistant was astonished by the size of the potion in Wang Yao's hand.
What a big sealwort!
“Do you plant it?”
“No, it's from the hill,” replied Wang Yao.
“Fantastic!” The lab assistant who was over 30 years old gave a thumbs up to Wang Yao.
“Leave here and come back to get the result tomorrow. Wait, leave your phone number,” said the lab assistant.
“Sure, thank you,” said Wang Yao.
After Wang Yao left his number for the lab assistant, he walked around the city and shopped for groceries. She bought several outfits for her parents, all of which were designer outfits and were worth several thousand yuan. Now he had money, so he did not hesitate to buy something fancy for his parents. He immediately returned to the village after finishing shopping.

“Why did you spend so much money on clothes!” Zhang Xiuying had a wide smile on his face even though he sounded like he was complaining. He took one of the clothes and tried it.
“It looks like this is the first time I bought a decent gift for my parents since 2 years ago.” Wang Yao felt a little teary-eyed at the sight of how happy her mother was.
Wang Yao went to the herb field again in the afternoon. By the time he returned home, it was already dark.
After she had dinner, she counted 10,000 yuan from the drawer. He put the money in an envelope and walked to the door of the party secretary's house in the village. He knocked on the door and walked in when he heard someone in the house. There was only one male in the house that—looked over 40 years old, medium height, with dark skin and bright and sharp eyes. He looks very smart.
The man's name was Wang Jianli; he was the county party secretary. He has been in this position for three years and has a good reputation.
“Halo uncle, are you busy?”
“This is it, Yao, please sit down,” said Wang Jianli.
“Where is aunty?”
“He went shopping,” replied Wang Jianli.
“Uncle, I want to talk to you about Nanshan.” hill Wang Yao got straight to the point.
“I went to your house and talked to your mother yesterday. I think it's a good thing to end the contract. Talk to the accountant tomorrow and see how much money should be returned to you, ”Wang Jianli lit up a cigarette as he spoke.
“Uncle, I don't want to terminate the contract. I want to extend the contract for another 20 years!” Wang Yao said.
“What?!” Wang Jianli was surprised. The door creaked as they spoke. A woman in her 40s went inside.
“Hai, aunty,” said Wang Yao.
“Halo, Yao.” The woman turned to Wang Jianli and said, "Why don't you serve her a cup of tea?"
“Don't worry about that. I only came here to talk to uncle for a moment,” Wang Yao said.
“When I was in your house yesterday, your mother said something different to Me,” Wang Jianli said.
“But I wasn't home yesterday,” said Wang Yao.
“Will your parents agree with your decision?” Wang Jianli frowned as he looked at the young Wang Yao, who was once the pride and excitement of the village. Unfortunately, he only became a laughingstock after graduating from university.
“I'll tell them,” said Wang Yao.
“Please follow my advice, Yao, end the contract. You will have a better future applying for government jobs with your degree.”
“Someone wants to contract me?” Wang Yao changed the subject.
“Ya,” replied Wang Jianli doubtfully.
“How much does he offer?” Wang Yao asked.
“20,000 yuan per year for 10 years.” Wang Jianli wanted to scare Wang Yao.
“Alright, I offer 20,000 yuan per year for 20 years,” replied Wang Yao.
“What?!” the woman sitting next to him exclaimed, “Yao, You should have 400,000 yuan for 20 years. How will you get that much money?”
“For the money, I will finish it,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“Your parents won't agree.” Wang Jianli lit another cigarette.
“So I can't tell them,” said Wang Yao.
“It will be difficult,” said Wang Jianli, “I just held a meeting at the village committee. We should discuss the problems related to Nanshan.” hill
So fast! thought Wang Yao.
“I am willing to contribute an additional 20,000 yuan to the village apart from the contract fee of 20,000 per year,” added Wang Yao.
“What did you say?!” Wang Jianli almost dropped the cigarette in his hand.
With the magic irrigation system he had, Wang Yao believed that as long as he was not stupid, he could earn at least several hundred thousand yuan per year. After all, he made several thousand yuan from just a few jujube trees. So, an additional 20,000 yuan in addition to the contract fee is not too much.
