I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse

Ding Xiaoyang also walked in from outside at this point. Nong Xuele patted the empty seat beside her and said to Ding Xiaoyang, "Xiaoyang Brother, come sit next to me."

Looking at Nong Xuele’s playful and cute face, Ding Xiaoyang, who wore a serious expression, couldn’t help but feel a warmth and indulgence rise in his eyes.

After Ding Xiaoyang sat down, Nong Fanfei turned to you and asked, "I’m really curious about what you’re planning exactly."

You smiled and replied, "Before I answer, could I trouble you, Fanfei, to explain to me some specific information about the Qian Family, including their business scope and product types?"

Nong Fanfei thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "The ancestors of the Qian Family were from the Manchu people. As everyone knows, after the downfall of the pseudo-Manchukuo, many Manchu aristocrats, in order to avoid the chaos of war, changed their names and kept a low profile, and the Qian Family was one of them. The first head of the Qian Family defected to the right side, joining the forces of our Grand Ancestor. After sacrificing a generation’s lives, the Qian Family settled in the fringes of the Greater Xing’an Range in Northeast China and started dealing in medicinal herbs with the protection of the previous generation. I won’t mention the grudge between the Qian Family and the Nong Family here because it infuriates me just to think about it."

Seeing that Nong Fanfei was getting angry just by mentioning the Qian Family, you immediately said with a smile, "That’s alright, I mainly want to understand the Qian Family."

Nong Fanfei nodded and continued, "As everyone knows, the Greater Xing’an Range is the main production area for medicinal herbs in China. With a strong network and financial resources, the Qian Family completely monopolized the medicinal herb business in the three northeast provinces within ten years; and after the economic reforms, they caught the southbound winds, gradually expanding their influence to become the largest medicinal herb dealer in North and East China."

"I see," you said, looking at Nong Fanfei, and asked, "Besides that, I also want to know if it’s true that the Qian Family is under the protection of the Horse Fairy."

"That’s just some shameless boasting on their part. The Horse Fairy is a common protective deity for the ordinary people of Northeast China—any ordinary family that venerates their tablets naturally receives their protection."

Ding Xiaoyang scoffed and added, "Others may not know, but I’m very clear about it. Fifty years ago, the patriarch of the Qian Family, the grandfather of Qian Zihao, accidentally saved a Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng King on Changbai Mountain. To repay the Qian Family, that Ginseng King took up residence in the mountains specifically to cultivate artificially bred ginseng for the Qian Family. Therefore, the quality of the ginseng produced by the Qian Family is much higher than that from other places. They rely on these ginseng to establish a network in the capital city and also pay tribute to the Cen Family every year."
