Chapter VII Occupancy

"That's right, these lazy people, nested at home, can't wait to eat mud to live a hundred years," Zhang Li nodded, agreeing with her cousin's statement, but still said with a worried face: "But, Yingzi, even if the blood vine can be sold for money, how much can it be sold for?"

In Zhang Li's heart, the blood vines on the mountain behind can only be sold as firewood, how much is it worth?

"A good quality blood vine pharmacy can sell for twenty or thirty pounds a catty, even if the pharmacy counts us for two or three yuan a catty, we get a few hundred catties to sell, there is a sum of money," Xu Yingzi said the news he had found.

"My mother, it's so valuable? I used to get it to be used as firewood," thinking of the blood vines she burned, Zhang Li's heart regretted for a while.

"It's not too late to know now, anyway, the people in the village don't know that blood vines can be sold for money, cousin, we get up early every day and get more money to sell, and we can still make a lot of money," Xu Yingzi didn't have any other ideas, he just wanted to save money quickly and return the money from his second aunt's grandmother's family, lest the other party take another fool to disgust himself.

"With your small body, you can't hold a big blood vine, so let's call Xiao Liang at the back of the village, there is a boy, it's good to sell coolies, and when the time comes, he can't share the money from the sale?"

Her eyes swept Xu Yingzi up and down, Zhang Li made the decision herself, and pulled Xu Yingzi and walked towards Ye Liang's house.

This Ye Liang and Xu Yingzi knew each other, they were all playmates who grew up together in a nearby village, and after thinking about the tendons, they agreed to Zhang Li's proposal.

It didn't take much effort to call Zhang Liang to agree, locked his door, drove his horse, and followed Xu Yingzi and Zhang Li towards the mountain.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the bright moon in the clear blue sky looked a little faint against the warm winter sun, the humidity in the air decreased, and the temperature gradually rose.

However, the mountain was overgrown with weeds, and the weeds on both sides of the road that had been trodden out were covered with rain and dew, soaking the soles of the three people's shoes and carrying a lot of mud. dragged heavy shoes and climbed the mountain with difficulty, but the hearts of the three of them were full of excitement.

"Look, there are a lot of blood vines over there," After walking for more than half an hour, Ye Liang, who was in front, pointed to the front right with the sickle in his hand and said excitedly.

"That's the blood vine, that's our money," looking at the various blood vines hanging on the cliff and climbing on the ground, Zhang Li's eyes were full of small stars, as if she had seen herself counting money.

"Haha," Hearing Zhang Li's words, Ye Liang turned around and smiled at him, then turned back again, strode forward, took off the basket, took out a woodcutter, and chopped at those thick blood vines.

The young man was just when his blood was strong, and after a few knives, a blood vine with the thickness of a bowl was cut down, and Zhang Li and Xu Yingzi next to him were full of smiles.

Seeing that there was progress, Zhang Li took a machete, climbed to a cliff mouth, and slashed at the thickest blood vine.

Although they are all children of the Zhuang family, Xu Yingzi, who has just undergone surgery, has no strength, so he can only put together the blood vines cut by Zhang Li and Ye Liang, and wait to be carried back by horse later.

Just now when Zhang Li said that when Ye Liang joined the gang, Xu Yingzi was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.

However, now, seeing that all these hard work is being done by Ye Liang, Xu Yingzi is very glad that he did not express his dissatisfaction.

When the sun got closer to the sky, there were already a lot of blood vines on the ground, Ye Liang pulled the horse grazing on the side, quickly tied the blood vines on the ground to the horse's back, and by the way, he also filled a lot of blood vines in the basket on his back, covered a little weeds to cover, and pulled the horse towards his house, leaving Zhang Li and Xu Yingzi to continue to watch the blood vines on the mountain.

When the sun rose in the middle, Ye Liang drove the horse back and brought a little water to moisten their throats. The three of them tied the blood vine to the horse's back, each carried a little blood vine, and rushed towards Ye Liang's house again.

When I met the villagers on the road, I only thought that the three of them were chopping wood, and I didn't have any other ideas, at most, I thought that Ye Liang's life as an orphan was very good, and there were two big girls to help chop wood.

"Yingzi, you go and rest, I'll just move with Ye Liang," Looking at Xu Yingzi's pale little face, cold sweat continued to appear on his forehead, Zhang Li pulled a small bench and asked him to sit down.

"That's right, Yingzi, you just had the operation, you just go and rest this kind of thing, we'll just get it," the simple young man grinned and showed his white teeth, and continued to load all the blood vines on horseback to the second-hand tricycle he had just bought.

Both of them said this, and they happened to have no strength on their bodies, so Xu Yingzi sat on the side and panted, watching the two of them busy.

After a while, the blood vines were all packed in the tricycle, Zhang Li took out a woolen hat from Ye Liang's house and put it on Xu Yingzi's head, pulled her to sit in the back of the tricycle, and followed Ye Liang to the county seat.

The tricycle kept moving forward, although there was the sun in the sky, but the wind blowing across his cheeks was still a little biting, fortunately he was dressed thickly and brought a beanie, Xu Yingzi did not shiver from the cold.

When he staggered to the county seat, the sun in the sky had already begun to move west, and he asked several Chinese medicine stores in a row, and the prices given were all four yuan a catty. Ye Liang and Zhang Lile almost agreed, but Xu Yingzi, who was sitting on the tricycle, walked over and said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, these are all wild red pulp chicken blood vines that were just cut from the mountain, which have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and are much better than ordinary chicken blood vines when used to regulate blood qi." Look at it, it's almost the New Year, and the three of us are going to cut blood vines, don't we just want to save some money and have a good New Year, so that you can give us a little more in terms of price, and we can cooperate for a long time in the future. ”

If Zhang Li said this, the store would have turned around and left a long time ago.

However, when Xu Yingzi, who was weak and incompetent, said this, the store was moved by a little compassion.

"That's right, boss, you see that your Chinese medicine store is so big and the business is so good, you must need a lot of Chinese medicine, don't we? The three of us have no other skills, and the ability to go up the mountain to find things is first-class, as long as you give us the right price, in the future, we can find you whatever medicinal materials you want," Hearing Xu Yingzi's words, Zhang Li patted her head: If you really stay in the countryside for a long time, you have become an elm head, and you don't know how to bargain when you sell things.

"Boss, look at it, my sister is running around with her body like this, you can give a little more," Ye Liang, who was standing next to him, heard the words of the two and also talked about the price......
