When I was a child, I can still bring back memories when I see them again.

I still remember when I was a child, my grandfather once said that this kind of little insect is called a dry cow in the local area.

But in fact, its scientific name should be called the antlion, commonly known as the earth cow, barb, sand monkey, sand cow, sand cattle, sand cattle, sand chicken, old cage, sand king eight, ground bull, shrinkage or old fall, etc.

Although the withered cow is extremely ugly and even looks a little disgusting, it is actually a medicinal herb with high medicinal value.

It treats such as hypertension, urinary stones, gallstones, osteomyelitis, vasculitis, malaria, constipation, diarrhea, pediatric dyspepsia, bamboo and wood thorns, foreign bodies in the flesh, and fractures. External use for the treatment of otitis media, carbuncles, nameless swelling and poison.

In addition, the dry beef is roasted and ground into powder, which can also treat knife wounds.

This is exactly what the sentence answers: people cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured.

These little insects are also like this, they seem to be extremely ugly, but they have more roles for others.

"It's a shame to sweep it away. Liu Qingshan would think of the scene when his grandfather collected these ugly insects when he was a child, and couldn't help but say, "Just catch them all and roast them to dry." ”

"What are you doing with all these things?" Wu Cuimei said angrily, "Didn't you say that you were going to renovate the house, and you still have the time to get these things?"

"Oh, it won't take long, and besides, it's not too late. Liu Qingshan ignored his mother, took care of himself and found a glass bottle with a smooth wall, and then used a small stick to quickly stir up a funnel-shaped pit, picked out all the dry cows in it, and then bottled it.

After a few hours, the harvest was quite fruitful, although the whole glass bottle was not filled, but there were about 100 of them.

The amount of this kind of thing is not large, such as the treatment of malaria, you can use eleven of them, swallow eleven dry cattle with wine, and take them once half an hour before malaria, generally speaking, about a week, chronic malaria can be cured.

To treat pediatric malaria, only seven are needed, fried until fragrant, and swallowed with boiling water.

After loading the withered cattle, Liu Qingshan also put them on the window like treasures, and repeatedly told his mother not to throw away his bottles.

Seeing her son's appearance, Wu Cuimei was really angry and had a bad seizure.

Fortunately, Liu Qingshan quickly realized that his mother's face was wrong, so he hurriedly continued to work.

While cleaning all corners of the house, I moved some extra things to the kitchen and left.

It took a whole day for the huge house to be cleaned up.

At dinner in the evening, Liu Qingshan gave his own plan: "Dad, Mom, I think so, I think that although there are many rooms in our house, basically every one of them is very small, there are only a few people in our family, it is useless to have so many rooms, I think, simply, let's block the extra door and connect the two rooms into one room, so that the remaining seven large and small rooms in the family can be changed into three large rooms." ”

"Change it to three large rooms?" Wu Cuimei frowned, and said unhappily, "With such a change, if you get married, have children, and have guests at home, where will the guests live?"

"Mom, it's not simple, let's change the wooden floor by the way, and it won't be long before we change it all into a room. ”

"The plank building is also changed?" Wu Cuimei's son's words startled, "How to change the plank building?"

The wooden plank building on the second floor is basically not used much, that is, the wooden plank building above the hall is only used as a rice warehouse, and the rest of the wooden plank building is basically used to raise mouses.

"Don't make a fuss, how to change the wooden plank building. Liu Yuanhe also disagreed, "How inconvenient it is to climb up and down the wooden plank building, besides, our house has a wooden ladder." ”

"Dad, if I renovate the wooden plank building, I will definitely add modern stairs to each wooden plank building, and it is impossible to use the old wooden ladder before. Moreover, I think that once our wooden floor is changed well, it will definitely be more comfortable to live in than the first floor. ”

"How do you add stairs? Our house is not a cement building. ”

"I don't want to add cement stairs, the current process is not the previous process, now there are many things that can be used to make stairs, steel materials, aluminum alloy materials, and wood, all kinds of new materials. Moreover, the life of these materials is basically permanent, and it will only be better than our broken wooden ladder, not worse than it. ”

Liu Qingshan's words made both of them feel a little drumming in their hearts.

Although they supported their son to renovate the house, if even the wooden floor on the second floor had to be renovated, the project would be huge and costly.

Liu Qingshan saw that his parents didn't speak, so he hurriedly said: "Mom and Dad, don't worry about money, think about it, if the first floor is neatly made, but the second floor is still full of rat nests, then it's the same as if it hasn't been changed, since we have decided to live in this old house all the time, then we must not only change, but also change it a little better, make up for the places that have been changed, and all the ones that have been renovated have been renovated, so that the house can last longer and we can live more comfortably." ”

"How much does it cost?" Wu Cuimei asked.

Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "Mom, you don't have to worry about money, anyway, if I spend this money, I will definitely be able to earn it back, and I promise you that it will definitely not exceed 50,000 yuan." ”

Of course, this is a lie to my mother, if you want to change the house, 50,000 yuan is not possible.

However, in order to appease my parents, sometimes I have to tell such a white lie.

With the words of their son, the two of them nodded. Wu Cuimei said: "Since this is the case, let's change it, anyway, the first floor has been changed, and it is not bad for the money on the second floor." ”

"That's it. Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to worry about money." ”

"That's it. Liu Yuanhe said, "As long as you kid is rich, you can change as much as you like, but don't collapse the house." ”

"Bah, crow's mouth. ”

Once things are agreed, things are easier after that.

The first step in renovating a house must be to widen the widened doors and block all the doors that should be blocked.

And to do these things, you need to use a lot of cement, steel, sand, stones, and so on.

Liu Qingshan will not go to the river to fish for sand by himself this time, but will order the boss of the town to deliver all of them.

Because the ramp in front of the yard has been repaired, all kinds of materials can be pulled directly into the yard.

At the same time as the materials were delivered, Liu Qingshan and his father worked with his father to remove the door frames of the bedroom doors of the three mini small rooms and a few bricks next to the door frames.

As a result, the gate, which was only about half a meter wide, has become a gate about two meters wide.

After that, an arched cement column was built inside the door with cement reinforcement, thus forming a large arch.

The three large arches unite the three very small rooms with the adjoining large rooms, so that the house can be modified so that the small rooms inside can be used for beds, and the large rooms outside can be used for wardrobes and the like. In this way, the layout of the room has completely changed.

Although it seemed easy to make these arches, it also took the family three days.

Because if you don't do it, you will definitely do the best if you do it.

On the afternoon of the third day, looking at the three large arches that had been completed, Wu Cuimei couldn't close her mouth and smiled: "Why were the people in the past so stupid, you said that this room should be used for so much?"

"You know what. Liu Yuanhe, "There used to be a lot of people, if the third child didn't go to the door, but stayed at home to marry a daughter-in-law, then this house would have to live in two families, plus the elderly, there are more than a dozen people, even if there are seven or eight rooms, it is barely enough." ”

"Then you don't have to make it so small. Wu Cuimei can't look down on the small room she used to live in now, "You look like the small room we lived in before, with beds, cabinets and tables, we can really only stand and go in alone, and it's not good to turn around when two people go in." ”

"Well, I don't know what people used to think. Liu Yuanhe, "The room inside is so small, and the room outside is so big, if you average it and make the two rooms the same size, then each room can be more than ten square meters, and it will not be so small." ”

Liu Yuanhe's words illustrate a problem, that is to say, after the renovation, after the two rooms are connected into a room by a large arch, the area of this large room divided into inner and outer rooms is about 20 square meters.

This is definitely a rare large room in a small mountain village, even if it is a small western-style building that is newly built now, the area of the room is only about ten square meters.

Thinking that she would be able to live in a super-large room in the future, Wu Cuimei had already begun to fantasize about it.

"Since the room has been made bigger, I will definitely not be able to live in the wooden bed anymore, and I will have to change to a large bed. Wu Cuimei longed, "Moreover, I think that the current cabinet is still a bit small, and I have to add another cabinet." ”

Liu Qingshan laughed and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will buy these for you, I not only have to buy you a big bed and a big cabinet, but when the time comes, I will also put a TV in your room, so that when it is cold, you will lie on the bed and watch TV." ”

"Hahaha, that's fine. "Wu Cuimei has forgotten about money at this time.

As he was talking, Liu Qingshan's mobile phone rang.

When I opened it, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number.

After answering the phone in confusion, a slightly excited male voice immediately came from the other end: "Hey, hello, are you the boss who sells azaleas?"

Liu Qingshan replied suspiciously: "Ah, yes, I am, you are?"

"Haha, great, I thought I made the wrong call, we met at the flower show before, my friend bought your azalea for 100,000 yuan, do you remember?"

"Ah, it turned out to be you, of course you remember, how could you not remember such a big thing?" Liu Qingshan walked out of the room, came to the courtyard, and asked, "I don't know what you are looking for me?"

He didn't want his parents to know that his azaleas were sold for 100,000 yuan.

The other party said: "That's right, we all like your azaleas very much, but last time at the flower show, you only had one azalea, so we couldn't buy it if we wanted to, and now after all these days, we see that the azalea you sold to my friend is still very healthy and beautiful, so we also want to buy one." ”

"Huh?"

Liu Qingshan didn't make any preparations at all, but the other party was caught off guard and said that he wanted to buy azaleas.

"What, you don't have azaleas in your house?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Liu Qingshan hurriedly said, "I still have a lot of them at home, and you can have any specifications for you." ”

"Haha, don't talk so much. The other party laughed.

"I'm serious. Liu Qingshan said very seriously, "There are large and small azaleas in my house, it depends on what specifications you want." ”

"Haha, if it was an ordinary azalea, I would definitely not look for you, I can find it directly in our local Naeba flower shop, I am looking for you, naturally I want to be different. ”

"Different?"

"Yes, I want a tree that is healthy enough, beautiful enough, aura enough, not only has a healthy body, but also has a smart look, not the kind of grafted seedlings that can be seen everywhere in artificial nurseries. ”

Liu Qingshan sweated: "Healthy, beautiful, smart, isn't this a very ordinary azalea." ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Haha, if that's the case, please be sure to find a rhododendron that you think is the most beautiful for me to see." ”

"No problem. Liu Qingshan hung up the phone, found a rhododendron that he thought was very good from several large rhododendrons in the yard, took a video and sent it to the man along with the photo.

After the man saw the photo and video of the azalea on WeChat, he was so excited that he gave Liu Qingshanfa a video call on the spot, and as soon as he connected, he hurriedly said: "I want this tree, I want this tree." ”

Liu Qingshan: What are you excited about, isn't this just an ordinary and ordinary azalea?

He smiled and said, "No problem, boss, then you can set a time to pick up the goods." I'll send you the address. ”

"No, no, no. The man refused, "I really don't have time lately, how about you send it to me?"

"Delivered to you?"

"yes, I'm in the provincial capital, and if you come by car, it's only a few hours. ”

"It's not a problem to send it, the question is, how much can you give for this azalea of mine?" Liu Qingshan thought to himself, if the price exceeded 50,000, then it would be no problem to send it. But if he can't even give 50,000 yuan, let alone send it, he doesn't want to pay attention to him.

Because, although this azalea is not as tall and beautiful as the azalea in the last exhibition, it is only inferior, even if it can't be sold for 100,000, but Liu Qingshan thinks that 70,000 or 80,000, or even 80,000 or 90,000 should be able to sell.

Even if the price of eighty or ninety thousand is too high and no one wants it, if it is less than fifty thousand, there is no need to sell at all.
