Chapter 69: Other Ways to Wealth

"What, why do you come to the money, you can tell my sister quickly. This news really made Zhou Sining excited.

Although her income is fixed now, usually, she can catch forty or fifty scorpions every night, and her income is about one dollar, and after a rainy day, the scorpion activities are more frequent, and her income will increase, around five to two yuan a piece, if the male protagonist can accompany her that night, then her income that day will rise sharply, and it is not a dream to earn five or six yuan a day.

So in the past half a month, she has saved more than 30 yuan in her small coffers, which is higher than the salary of a serious worker, and at this rate, by the end of the year, how can she save 300 or 400 yuan.

It may not sound like much, but combined with the purchasing power of this era, it is a lot of money. At least it is enough to marry ten or eight daughters-in-law for a young man from a rural area like Zhou Jiguo.

It's just that who would dislike that he has a lot of money, hearing that there is still a way to make money, Zhou Sining, an upgraded version of the money slave, immediately became energetic.

"I chatted with an eldest sister in the pharmacy today, and the eldest sister was nice and told me a few Chinese herbs that we have here that can be sold for money. Zhou Jiguo knew that the eldest sister must be interested.

"Tell my sister quickly, what kind of Chinese herbs are they, do we have them in our village?" Zhou Sining was really interested.

"Yes, if not, I'll run home and tell you something. Zhou Jiguo said seriously.

"Oh, don't sell it, I'm in a hurry, hurry up. Zhou Sining slapped his hand unceremoniously. She has a good relationship with the male protagonist now, and the occasional small fights are always blind to God.

"Okay, I said, there are several. Zhou Jiguo stopped teasing her, and told the eldest sister about several Chinese herbs she inquired about today.

The first is the cicada molt, there are fruit trees on the hillside near Xitang Village, every year when it is hot, there will be annoying cicadas around it, of course, this is the idea of adults who are tired of a day, the children are very fond of knowing the monkey, that thing can be roasted and eaten, boiled and eaten, very fragrant.

Zhou Sining thought of knowing the monkey, and Harazi couldn't control it, because she was thinking about fried monkey in her mind at this time, it was a delicacy in the world, she had gone to a big restaurant to eat artificially bred a few times in her previous life, and she still has a taste of it.

As for the cicada, she also knows that it is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, and the cicada is the layer of skin that the cicada takes off after it comes out of the ground, which is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and is one of the medicinal materials for treating many diseases.

"That's not counting, how much is the purchase price of a catty? Is it by the catty?" Zhou Sining pulled up the small abacus in his heart in an instant, and asked the price clearly, not that she would not do it if it was cheap, but to distribute the focus of labor in the future according to its price.

After all, a person's energy is limited, and if she does this, she will naturally have no time to do that, so she must compare prices and arrange them reasonably, so as to maximize benefits.

"According to the catty, the purchase price of a catty is about three yuan, and the specific is not easy to say, it depends on the quality of the cicadas we sent over to the specific price. ”

Zhou Sining nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The price is okay, when the monkey comes out, I'll pick it up. "Anyway, this thing was all over the ground at that time, and it was estimated that the effort was to bend over and get up, but it was not counted, and it was estimated that it would take 1,800 to make up enough for a catty, and it would be quite a big bag.

"That's it, no one in our village knows that the thing can still be sold for money, and I haven't seen anyone pick it up, only the children catch some monkeys to satisfy their cravings, this does not conflict with you, and when the time comes, you can probably make a fortune." Although Zhou Jiguo knew that this thing made money, he never thought of competing for business with his eldest sister.

Zhou Sining also thinks so, anyway, if the money is thrown away, she will be thrown away, and when the time comes, she will get up a little early and walk around the village and the back mountain, and it is estimated that she will be able to pick up a lot.

"Didn't you say there are several, this is only one, what else?"

"There are also those Chinese herbs in the mountains behind our village. Zhou Jiguo introduced to her the Chinese herbs he knew.

In addition to apple trees, wild vegetables, and wild grasses, there are also a lot of Chinese herbs growing in the back mountain of Xitang Village, such as bellflower, astragalus, atractylodes, parsnip, mugwort, etc., which are all medicinal materials that can be used to cure diseases and save people.

The people of Xitang Village don't understand this, and Zhou Jiguo didn't know it in his previous life, or later, someone went to Xitang Village to contract the mountain behind the village, specializing in the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine.

At that time, many people were suffocated, feeling that their advantage was taken advantage of by outsiders, and they had a lot of trouble with the outsider.

Zhou Jiguo also knew at that time, and when he went to sell scorpions today, he suddenly remembered this, so he asked, and people really accepted it.

"But these things are basically rooted in medicine, and you have to dig them out of the ground with a lot of effort. People say that it is not suitable to sell this thing freshly, the price is low, if you can concoct it yourself, and if you get it a little, the price will be much higher. Zhou Jiguo inquired very carefully.

"How do you get it?" Zhou Sining was attracted by the words 'the price is very high', but she didn't understand the preparation of medicinal materials, so she needed to ask clearly.

"Actually, it's very easy to get it, just dig those heels back, and then remove the whiskers on them, wash them, cut them into slices, and dry them. If it's not good, he won't tell the eldest sister, he just thinks that the eldest sister can do it at home, so he told her.

Zhou Sining nodded, this is really simple, she can do it.

"It's really easy to say that, but I don't know what you're talking about!"

"This is not a problem, you don't know, I do, when I have time, I will go up the mountain with you, teach you once, and I guess you will know." Zhou Jiguo said.

"Then what are you waiting for, now that we are free, you have finished eating, is there anything else to do at home?" Zhou Sining was anxious, and wanted to know immediately what the medicinal materials that could be sold for money looked like.

"Hehe, you money-loving character!" Zhou Jiguo looked like he couldn't do anything about her, "Okay, let's go now." ”

Zhou Sining heard him agree, his hands moved faster, he cleaned up the kitchen in a few clicks, and walked out with people, "Let's go, let's go early, go early and return early, I'll carry the back basket, you go get the tools, let's go up the mountain." ”

Zhou Jiguo was urged, but he had no choice, so he went back to his room, took out the flashlight hidden by the eldest sister from under the bed, and then the sister and brother went out of the house and walked to the back mountain together.
