The Supreme Village Doctor

Chapter 47: Chapter 48: Discovering Wild Onions

In fact, that was the most important thing.

"It won’t be that fast. I just leased a large plot of land, so I have to plant everything gradually," Li Yang said.

"Oh?" The proprietress was a little disappointed. "Can’t you spare some for me first?"

"I can’t. I only have enough vegetables to supply the Golden Pavilion Hotel right now. Don’t be in such a hurry," Li Yang said.

"Boss Lady, you’re letting someone else supply you with vegetables?" Just then, a middle-aged man walked over, speaking with clear dissatisfaction.

"Oh, come on, Lao Xu, don’t say that. You can’t possibly supply everything we need, right? I need other vegetables too," the proprietress said, putting on a smile for the middle-aged man.

Lao Xu smiled smugly. "As long as you know. Here, this is today’s harvest."

As he spoke, Lao Xu opened the basket on his back, revealing emerald-green wild onions.

This stuff was a rare sight. It was exceptionally scarce and very particular about its growing environment.

Most importantly, they were far more fragrant than regular onions—a top-tier seasoning.

You didn’t even need to cook them; you could already smell their unique aroma.

"At least twenty pounds today!" Lao Xu took out a large bundle and placed it on the table.

"Excellent, excellent!" The proprietress’s eyes were glued to them. "Four hundred. I’ll get it for you now."

"Boss Lady, the money isn’t the main point!" Lao Xu gave her a suggestive look.

"Lao Xu, can’t you see I’m busy right now..." ’Bastard!’ the proprietress cursed inwardly, then gestured toward Li Yang. "It’s not convenient today. Let’s talk about it next time."

Lao Xu took the money with some dissatisfaction, shot a glare at Li Yang, and left resentfully.

"You know, having such... assets can be a crime. It’s dangerous for you!" Li Yang said with understanding, his eyes on the proprietress’s ample chest as he feigned a worried expression.

"You men are all the same!" the proprietress snapped as she put away the wild onions. "Every single one of you is after me."

"Now, now, don’t say that. A minute ago, you were the one trying to proposition me, and I firmly rejected your advances," Li Yang said with a completely straight face.

The proprietress was so exasperated she laughed. This guy was really putting on an act.

"So that stuff is twenty a pound?" Li Yang finally asked.

"Yep, wild onions. You can’t find them around here anymore. I have no idea where that Lao Xu finds them. I’ve tried to get it out of him a few times, but he’s as sly as a fox and won’t reveal a thing," the proprietress said with a look of regret. "And look at him, every time he comes, he tries to get in my pants... Honestly, what a creep."

"Are they really that good?" Li Yang didn’t know much about them.

"Of course they are!" the proprietress said with a nod. "A lot of people come to my resort just for my unique seasonings. If a dish is an eight out of ten on its own, adding these wild onions easily makes it a ten."

"Great!" Li Yang was getting excited. "That guy has to go pick them, right? I’ll go have a look. Or maybe I can get some seeds and cultivate them myself."

The proprietress’s eyes lit up. "Do it," she urged. "If you can get your hands on them, I’ll definitely buy from you, and for a higher price than I give him."

Li Yang glanced at the ample curves that spilled out as she leaned forward.

"What are you looking at? It’s not like you have the guts to do anything," the proprietress shot back with a glare.

Li Yang gave a dry chuckle. "Well, I’ll go follow him now and take a look."

With that, he was already gone.

The proprietress touched her forehead. ’What’s gotten into me today? Getting all worked up flirting with a young guy like him.’

Li Yang hurried out and saw Lao Xu get onto a tricycle and head toward the outskirts of town.

Li Yang followed slowly in his pickup truck.

Soon, Lao Xu entered a village and parked his tricycle.

Li Yang had no choice but to park his truck as well.

But Lao Xu quickly went into his house, looking like he was going to take a break.

It wasn’t until evening, after dinner, that Lao Xu came out again with the basket on his back.

It looked like he was heading out to pick wild onions.

Li Yang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately followed.

Lao Xu walked for over an hour. By the time he finally arrived at a valley, it was around seven o’clock.

On both sides of the valley stream, there were indeed quite a few wild onions.

The wild onions were growing exceptionally well.

’So this is where the old coot found them!’

Li Yang was happy to have found the spot, but with Lao Xu picking right there, he couldn’t very well start gathering them himself.

But then a new thought struck him. ’Why the hell would I need to pick them? Those wild onions look like they have bulbils already. I can just take the bulbils and cultivate my own patch.’

With this in mind, he stealthily crept over to the other side and gathered a large number of the bulbils.

Once he had enough, Li Yang prepared to leave.

’I can’t just compete with the man for these wild onions, after all. He’s the one who found them.’

With that thought, Li Yang headed back toward the village, started his truck, and was soon on his way back to the city.

Once he reached the city, he initially planned to drive straight through and head home, but then he had another idea: he should buy a phone for Aunt Xiu.

He had been so busy lately that he had completely forgotten about her.

Aunt Xiu was still using a feature phone. In this day and age, who still used a phone like that?

From his deliveries to the Grand Golden Pavilion Hotel these past few days, he had not only paid back the 50,000 he had borrowed but had also saved up another 50,000.

It was the perfect time to buy Aunt Xiu a phone and also tell her about his progress.
