After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

"Big Brother Chen, these are all the dried medicinal herbs, and over there are the seeds you were asking for. Take a look at what you need, and I'll pack them up for you right away."

Chen Yu's brow furrowed slightly. If he were to really take everything in this warehouse, he'd be essentially cutting off the village's lifeline.

But perhaps only by doing so could he bring a new lease of life to the village.

"Take everything!"

Da Hu was simple by nature and didn't think too much. He immediately packed up all the herbs and seeds here.

But there were too many items; they couldn't possibly take them all away by themselves.

At that moment, some of the village's young men suddenly ran over.

"Mr. Chen, could you take us to see the outside world?"

Chen Yu was taken aback. He hadn't expected the village youth to come to him so quickly.

Now that he had the medicinal seeds, what he lacked were professionals who specialized in planting them. These youngsters had grown up here, adept at cultivating medicinal herbs.

If he brought them back, they could set up a specialized medicinal herb plantation in the shortest time possible.

Without hesitation, Chen Yu had these people take the medicinal herbs and leave the village with him.

As he left, he saw many young people carrying large and small packs, climbing between cliffs and precipices.

This small village had been isolated for thousands of years, yet the outside world had developed too quickly.

With just a little bit of progressive thought introduced here, everyone could be swayed.

Previously, Da Hu simply came into contact with Er Gou and became infatuated with the outside world. Although he couldn't let go of the village, he would still follow Er Gou outside to sell herbs and was even exploited by him.

Chen Yu guessed that a good number of these young people who left the village would probably be swindled outside. The better scenario would have them returning to the village poor and destitute. In the worst case, they could even lose their lives outside.

But now, Chen Yu simply didn't have the time to concern himself with these people, and even if he wanted to, they would not appreciate his kindness.

Suzhou City, Li Song Estate.

Ever since taking the medicine Chen Yu gave him, Li Song's health had improved markedly.

Although he had given away more than thirty years' worth of treasured liquor, he felt at ease in his heart. Moreover, Chen Yu had also provided him with several fine medicine recipes and secrets to winemaking.

Lately, he had been busy tending to his own vineyard, drinking wine leisurely, truly embodying the lifestyle of his later years.

"Old Master Li!"

Chen Yu called out loudly as he and Da Hu strode into the garden.

"I've come to pay a visit!"

Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Li Song leapt from his chair as if injected with adrenaline.

"Oh my, Xiao Chen is here! What goodies have you brought this time, with all those big and small packages?"

Upon arriving in Suzhou City, Chen Yu had all the finished medicinal products delivered to the industrial park, and brought the rest of the medicinal seeds here.

Though Li Song was living a secluded life, he had an unparalleled manor at his disposal.

When he first arrived, he had specially allocated several plots of wasteland around the villa. Through his cultivation, the fertility of these lands surpassed even the best soil in the world.

Not only did Li Song grow grapes here, but he also cultivated a large number of medicinal herbs, which were significantly more vibrant than those grown outside.

This was why he could so easily produce that kind of medicinal wine.

"These are some medicinal herb seeds, I'd like to borrow the elder's land to grow them!"

Upon hearing this, Li Song's smile immediately faded.

"Xiao Chen, I can't just plant anything on this patch of land. If it's not rare medicinal herbs, I wouldn't do it even for your sake."

Without saying much more, Chen Yu directly took out a bag, opened it, and placed it in front of Li Song.

The incoming fragrance instantly invigorated Li Song.

"Wow! White Snake Grass, Black Forest Flower, Three-Yellow-White... These are all rare medicinal herbs you don't see often!"

No sooner had Li Song named the herbs than Chen Yu promptly pulled the bag closed.

"If the old gentleman won't let me touch your land, then I won't. I'll be on my way!"

"Hold on a minute!" Li Song hurriedly stopped Chen Yu: "That's not what I meant. It's just that this piece of land is something I've cultivated with hard work for over thirty years. If you're planting, it has to be rare medicinal herbs, and these seeds you've brought are just right."

Chen Yu tugged at the bag and revealed a sly smile.

"Your land is indeed the best choice, but now I'm a bit concerned. What if you help yourself to my herbs when they mature?"

Li Song immediately got hopping mad: "How could that be possible? Don't you know my character by now? Just hand me those seeds, and in three months, I will make them into herbs!"

Chen Yu believed that. Many herbs have short growth cycles, some even sprouting in a matter of days.

However, he still put on an act of difficulty: "If that's the case, then I'll leave these seeds to the elder. And these people here, they're all experienced herb farmers, and they can stay here to help the elder."

Li Song didn't bother with the details and directly embraced the seeds. Experience new tales on empire

"Rest assured!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Yu handed over all the seeds and people to Li Song and left on his own.

By noon, the mall's ground floor was packed with people.

All the food stalls were in full operation, and despite the increase in staff, it was still tense.

With such a large flow of customers, once the building renovations are complete and the upper floors of the mall and hotel are open, they could bring in significant revenue.

Jin Lingsu sat elegantly at Ning Kai's stall, eating with Han Xiaohui.

"Master Ning, your cooking is getting better and better. Have you learned the essence from Chen Yu?"

Ning Kai continued with his work: "Chen previously gave me a few recipes. They contained lost dishes and cooking methods. It was truly eye-opening. How could my cooking not improve?"

Although Han Xiaohui was somewhat reserved, she couldn't help but wolf down her food.

"Sister Su, I've never eaten anything this delicious before!"

Jin Lingsu passed a bottle of soda to Han Xiaohui.

"Eat slower! This place is Chen Yu's property, and he cooks even better. You'll get a chance to have him cook for you later."

Han Xiaohui smiled shyly: "I'm already grateful that Mr. Chen took me in, how could I dare to have him cook for me?"

"Why so formal?" Jin Lingsu patted Han Xiaohui's shoulder: "You're his secretary now, still calling him Mr. Chen? Just call him Yu Ge, that's what everyone here does."

While they were talking, Chen Yu arrived.

"What brought you two here?"

Jin Lingsu pouted: "To eat, of course! You wouldn't be so petty as to not even let us have a meal here, would you?"
