In the mountains.
When Wang Chen arrived driving, many bags filled with herbs had already piled up by the side of the road.
And the villagers were still enthusiastically gathering medicine!
Although everyone was drenched in sweat and looked somewhat weary, they were still as spirited as when they arrived in the early morning.
Actually, such a reaction was not enough to surprise anyone.
Before this, the majority of Taoyuan Village's villagers had relied on farming, doing odd jobs, or manual labor to make a living.
Those who relied completely on farming and odd jobs earned an average annual income of only ten to twenty thousand yuan per ten mu of land. Even if you added the money earned from odd jobs, it wouldn't exceed thirty thousand yuan at most.
And while carpenters or bricklayers might earn a bit more than those people, they probably made only around thirty-five thousand yuan after a busy year.
On average, each person made at most around one hundred yuan per day.
