When Zhao Qingzao and the three of them came to the clearing, Zhao Qingzao looked at the weeds that were completely split, and even the two clearings left by the ashes after burning, and he couldn't help but be shocked for a while, looked at Chu Xingshan on the side, and said, "Brother Chu, you actually got such two large pieces of land in the past few days?"

"Yes, originally you only needed half an acre, but I think the terrain is very good, anyway, I started it, so I simply cultivated more. Chu Xingshan smiled, his face a little pale.

Shen Changting was also moved by Chu Xingshan, and sighed: "In total, there are almost two acres or so, Hiking, you have been really busy these days." ”

"The total is only two acres, how can it be so tiring, that is, cut down the weeds and trees around it, circle a piece, and then put a fire in the middle to do it, there is no trouble. ”

Chu Xingshan didn't care, this kind of thing is much easier than going to the deep mountains to cut wood, and he explained: "However, this is a mountain after all, so it can only be busy like this, as for loosening the soil, it is too busy for the time being, so you have to dig it when you have time later." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao was really grateful to Chu Xingshan, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to loosen the soil, this layer of soil on this surface does not look hard." ”

"It's not hard, but it's better to loosen the soil, at least turn it over, and those thatch roots and the like will be gone, otherwise it will become a grass nest at that time." Chu Xingshan explained very expertly.

This is the tragedy of no herbicide.

Zhao Qingzao sighed in his heart, thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, just one acre of land, and I don't plan to get sweet potatoes, as long as I get it all." ”

"If you don't grow sweet potatoes, what are you going to plant?"

Shen Changting subconsciously spoke, he heard the unusual meaning from Zhao Qingzao's tone, after getting familiar with Zhao Qingzao, he knew that this girl had always taken an unusual path, so it was extremely natural.

Chu Xingshan was stunned for a moment, and also asked, "Yes, green dates, what are you going to plant, sprinkle sesame seeds?"

"It's not. ”

Zhao Qingzao shook his head and smiled confidently: "I plan to grow medicinal herbs." ”

"Grow herbs?"

Shen Changting and Chu Xingshan were stunned.

"yes. ”

Zhao Qingzao explained: "You see, with my labor, other things in the middle are not busy at all, and I don't have the ability, but I can plant medicinal materials, as long as the medicinal materials are planted, they don't need to be taken care of too carefully, and they are easy to survive, especially this kind of mountainous land, which is not easy to take care of, and it is not suitable to plant other things, only medicinal materials, which saves time and effort, and if you plant it this year, you don't have to ask for it for several years." ”

Zhao Qingzao's idea is indeed very simple, there are many medicinal materials suitable for mountainous areas, and as long as the medicinal materials are planted, the roots do not need to be planted every year, even if it is a medicinal material to take the root, it is convenient to keep the seeds, there is no need to fertilize or anything on weekdays, as long as the weeding is diligent, and the harvest depends on the sky, not to mention that the value of medicinal materials is much higher than that of ordinary crops.

After all, in these years, everyone wants medicinal materials to dig in the mountains by themselves, and it is rare to plant them in a large area.

With Zhao Qingzao's explanation, even Shen Changting had to smile and nod, and said, "This is a good idea." ”

"Of course, the price of medicinal herbs is much higher than that of sweet potatoes, and medicinal herbs are not as squeamish as sweet potatoes, so they are easy to feed. Zhao Qingzao said proudly.

But isn't it, in the deep mountains and old forests of medicinal herbs, no one cares about the growth of gratifying, and now she occasionally takes care of it, and she really doesn't worry about the lack of production.

Thinking of this, she said to Chu Xingshan on the side: "Brother Chu, what are you going to plant, or you will also plant medicinal herbs with me." ”

Chu Xingshan thought about it, looked at Shen Changting again, nodded and said, "Cheng, then I will follow you to plant, but what medicinal herbs do you plan to plant." ”

"I don't know yet, but I'll go to the town's infirmary tomorrow and ask. ”

Zhao Qingzao shook her head busily, she didn't have any good ideas for this kind of thing for a while, so she could only ask the doctor first before making a plan, after all, she really didn't understand the medicinal materials, and now it was just experimental cultivation.

Fortunately, in this wasteland, presumably in the next two years, there will be no need to pay taxes, after all, Shen Changting is now working in the county government, and it should not be much of a problem to say it.

"Okay, whatever you want to plant, just tell me when the time comes. "Chu Xingshan is really straightforward, and he also has great trust in Zhao Qingzao.

With his excellent physical strength, no matter how you get it, as long as you can grow and work, it won't be bad.

The matter was settled like this, and several people turned around and returned.

As soon as she got home, Zhao Qingzao couldn't wait to get up, after all, the land had been prepared now, although the land looked very rough and had no land at all, but she didn't mind at all.

After all, if the raw land is to be matured, it will not be possible to complete it in a few years, and she is in a hurry, and now she can only take one step at a time.

If the harvest is really good, she will be working hard at that time, and it is only experimental at the moment.

So she immediately agreed with Shen Changting to go to the town tomorrow, and Shen Changting did not refuse this.

Time passed quickly, the night passed quickly, and a new day came, and Zhao Qingzao also came to the town with Shen Changting again.

Shen Changting was going to work in the Yamen, but Zhao Qingzao didn't let him accompany him, so he walked around the town alone, and finally came to the hospital where Shen Changting had seen a doctor before.

"This black-hearted doctor, the old lady really doesn't want to see him. ”

Zhao Qingzao was full of resentment, and finally stepped into the door of the medical hall.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and there was no one in the medical hall, not even the old doctor, only the little er who I saw last time on the counter was still sitting on the counter, I don't know what he was busy with, seeing Zhao Qingzao, a little familiar, and a little hesitant to say hello, "This girl, is she seeing a doctor?"

Zhao Qingzao shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to discuss things with your shopkeeper, isn't the old doctor at home?"

"In the backyard, I don't know what is going on with you?" the errand runner frowned slightly.

"Call your treasurer, and I will tell him to his face that there is a great matter to discuss. Zhao Qingzao opened with a serious face.

When Xiao Er heard this, he was a little unhappy, but finally ran in and called the old doctor.

The old doctor seemed to have gotten up a long time ago, and came out after a while, and when he saw Zhao Qingzao, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Little girl, it's you." ”

"Isn't it, the medicine you prescribed last time really didn't work at all, I still remember. ”

Zhao Qingzao pursed his lips, saw that the old doctor's face changed slightly, and simply said straight to the point: "Doctor, I'm not here to trouble you this time, don't worry, I have something important to discuss." ”

"Well, I don't know what to learn?" the old doctor raised his eyebrows, looking at Zhao Qingzao's eyes very vigilantly, revealing a sense of unkindness.

As long as the doctor in this year is a little unique, he is definitely a domineering master.

Zhao Qingzao smiled and asked, "Old man, I want to plant some medicinal materials, I wonder if your pharmacy will buy medicinal materials?"

"Grow herbs?"

The old doctor was a little surprised, and then said, "As long as it is a medicinal herb, I will accept it here." ”

"So, you can't eat in this medical hall, and you also have a way to sell it elsewhere?" Zhao Qingzao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized the implicit meaning of the old doctor's words.

The old doctor smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that the old doctor was reluctant to reveal it, Zhao Qingzao knew that he couldn't ask anything about this kind of thing, so he changed the topic and asked, "Then do you know what kind of medicinal herbs are suitable for planting in our place now." ”

"I don't know where to plant, paddy field, dry field or mountain?" said the old doctor, who came first with his professional qualities.

Zhao Qingzao raised his eyebrows, knowing that this old man was also a knowledgeable person, so he simply didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "The mountains are newly cultivated, and I don't know what kind of medicinal materials are the easiest to survive and good seeds." ”

"The mountains are too thin, and the yield will not be too high, but if you insist, it is better to plant salvia. The old doctor stroked his beard as he spoke, and said: "Although salvia is fat, it can also be in the mountains, and it is twice a year, and there is a great demand for medicinal health, and the price is quite good." ”

"It seems that the old gentleman is also a knowledgeable person. Zhao Qingzao opened his mouth with a little cheeky smile.

When it comes to this, Zhao Qingzao still doesn't understand what's going on, this old guy must have done the medicinal herb business before.

The old doctor smiled and said, "It's just a script." ”

Just pull it off!

Zhao Qingzao sneered in her heart, this old guy is an old fox, and she immediately said, "I don't know if the old gentleman has salvia seeds for sale here?"

The old doctor shook his head and said, "No, little girl, do you understand, salvia is not sown from seeds, but by roots or stems, just like planting sweet potatoes." ”

"That's exactly what happened. ”

Zhao Qingzao was stunned for a moment, and then asked in detail, in this regard, the old doctor may think that when Zhao Qingzao is planted, he can only sell it here, he can make a profit, but he has no secrets.

Soon Zhao Qingzao asked clearly, and then it was like the old doctor bought some live roots of salvia, the so-called live roots, which are the kind of wet ones that have not been dried, and the whole salvia is kept very well, so that as long as you go back and plant it, it is like cultivating sweet potatoes, which is very simple.

Zhao Qingzao remembered Chu Xingshan's goodness, and bought enough for two people at one time, and finally she was satisfied, but this time, she bought out all the salvia living in the old doctor's small medical hall.

After the transaction was completed, it cost Zhao Qingjube a full four taels of silver.

The old doctor took the money, and his happy face smiled like a flower, and saw that Zhao Qingzao was a flexible and very shrewd little girl, but he instructed Zhao Qingzao, and said: "Little girl, if you are okay, you can go and pick up some cicada chrysalis to sell, and after a few months, you can also pick up cicadas, that thing is also valuable." ”

Zhao Qingzao frowned and said, "Old man, I'm afraid that thing is not common, right?"

The old doctor smiled: "It's really not common, but if it's okay, you might as well look for it, there are probably a lot of big trees by the river, remember, the more near the water, the bigger the trees." ”

"Okay, I remember. ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded, and didn't care about it, she hadn't seen that thing before, and there were not a few catties in a bucket, and she didn't know how long it would take to be busy, Zhao Qingzao didn't have the time to say it.

After carefully asking about the planting tips of salvia, Zhao Qingzao finally left directly, and she was not interested in other things that the old doctor nagged about.

Still didn't wait for Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao took an ox cart and returned home directly, and then found Chu Xingshan, planning to plant salvia.

When Chu Xingshan saw Zhao Qingzao, he saw that she had bought the salvia back so quickly, and even brought it to him, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Qingzao, your actions are really neat." ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled: "That's right, don't look at who I am!" As he spoke, he gave half of it to Chu Xingshan, and carefully explained the planting skills of salvia to Chu Xingshan.

It's said that it's a skill, but it's not a skill, but the growth is good, and there are more roots, so you can divide some of them, and then divide them into two, so that one becomes two, and slowly divides them, and finally a mu of land is planted, which is similar to planting sweet potatoes.

Chu Xingshan understood as soon as he heard it, and then he didn't forget to give Zhao Qingzao seed money, but Zhao Qingzao didn't pick it up, she didn't even know if she could get a harvest, but she didn't want to pit Chu Xingshan.

At present, Shen Changting's income is good, and she still has salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs, and she will be able to make money soon, but her life is much better than Chu Xingshan's, so she naturally doesn't want Chu Xingshan to suffer, not to mention that Chu Xingshan will have to help her in the future.

Seeing this, Chu Xingshan had no choice but to admit it, and then the two of them began to be busy planting salvia.
