Chapter 36: The Man Outside
"Mother, in fact, I don't need anything like this, I don't need any money."
Bai Jiaojiao said that she is still just a child now, and the polite words are still spoken, but she is still very happy in her heart.
"Alright, you go back to the house and rest for a while, then go out early, go quickly. I'll bring the rice to your father. Tang said.
"Mother. I'm fine, I'll go see Brother Qingfeng. Bai Jiaojiao said.
"It's okay, you can go and see if he's eating, or you can bring some food when you go over." Tang said to Bai Jiaojiao, and as he spoke, he walked to the kitchen, took out the buns she made at noon, put them in the basket, and handed them to Bai Jiaojiao.
It's better to bring it back like this than to go there empty-handed.
"The sun is getting bigger and bigger, it's close to noon, how to say it, I have to let Qingfeng come back for a meal, there are some left, and I will go over to help in the afternoon, I don't have to be tired of the child, I don't know what the situation is, Qingfeng is really too sincere." Tang said with some complaints, although he said that he was honest and sincere, he still handed the filled kettle to Bai Jiaojiao, and Bai Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly.
"Mother, don't worry, don't I want to go over and see it?" Bai Jiaojiao said helplessly, although he also felt a little sorry for Brother Qingfeng, but since he promised others to come over to help, it was not easy to push back. Qingfeng is a good brother and a very good child.
"Alright, you can go quickly." Tang urged Bai Jiaojiao.
In the past, everyone was beautiful, but now they are becoming more and more down-to-earth.
Bai Jiaojiao carried a small basket, holding the buns prepared by Tang in advance, as well as water, humming a song as she walked. Bai Jiaojiao's heart is very happy, she is always full of vitality in spring, and she looks very good, and now she has some money in her hand, today is really a good weather.
Now that we are approaching the height of summer, winter in the south is like this, summer comes relatively quickly, and spring is often not very long, and it is very hot in the blink of an eye.
There were some flowers blooming on the roadside and in the fields, and the red and yellow of those wild flowers were particularly dazzling, and Bai Jiaojiao couldn't remember what they were called. At this time, there are many sounds of insects and birds, and there are many pedestrians on the road, all of whom are going to work in the fields, and it is the busy season of spring.
Bai Jiaojiao knows where the land of Lizheng's family is. All the land here is planted on a small hill. But when Bai Jiaojiao came over before, it was just in time for winter, and she didn't see any crops, so she really didn't know what crops were planted in the summer here.
When I went out to look for food with Dong Mingxuan and Qingfeng before, I pointed to my own land by the way, and Uncle Lizheng's land happened to be next to my own land, so it was clearer.
In fact, Bai Jiaojiao is still a little confused, because she has been looking for a way to make money recently, and she has been hammering and hammering. In fact, Bai Jiaojiao wants to find a stable direction to do, so that she can make a more rigorous plan, which is better than this, seeing what to sell, and thinking of what to do.
Although this is not a difficult thing for Bai Jiaojiao. It's really simple and not easy to make money in this world.
Looking in the direction of Meiwu Mountain, I wonder if Li Jingcheng is up the mountain now?
Bai Jiaojiao secretly decided in her heart that now that Li Jingcheng is back, it is more convenient to go to the mountains to find herbs.
And if the situation is just settled today, and the official Spring and Autumn Festival is winning, many people take this opportunity to make a fortune, and this time is when the price of medicine is relatively expensive, Bai Jiaojiao can take the opportunity to make a lot of money at this time.
The so-called backing on the mountain to eat the mountain, it is next to Meiwu Mountain, there are a lot of rare treasures in Meiwu Mountain, all of which are some very rare medicinal materials, and they should be sold for a lot of money, so they should eat the rice of Meiwu Mountain.
Although I was fortunate enough to earn a little before, it was still not stable enough, and now Bai Jiaojiao also thought about it, if it was just her own family to do this, it might be too tiring, and now Dong Mingxuan is injured again, and Tang is pregnant, so it is really not suitable to climb the mountain and go far.
There are only two people, her and Qingfeng, and the labor force of the two is still relatively low, Bai Jiaojiao thought about it and hoped that the entire village would join the ranks of collecting medicine.
Bai Jiaojiao looked in the direction of Meiwu Mountain and couldn't help frowning again. Thinking of Li Jingcheng, he sighed deeply.
Li Jingcheng lived on that mountain, and obviously didn't want anyone to disturb him, so the people in Qinghe Village didn't know that there were still people living on the mountain, or such a fairy-like person.
Bai Jiaojiao had some hesitation, she felt that this matter should be discussed with Li Jingcheng first. After all, there should be a lot of secret guards guarding there, and a person like him with a very unusual identity background is so indifferent, if he doesn't want others to disturb him, he should make a killing move, and it won't be worth the loss.
Bai Jiaojiao helped her forehead hard, it was really a distressing thing.
In the past, in modern times, I made a fat house every day, ate potato chips, drank Coke, didn't listen to things outside the window, and earned money by coding words every day.
Bai Jiaojiao slowly eased up from her thoughts, and then saw that the aunt and sister-in-law of the Lizheng family in front of her, as well as Qingfeng, and the youngest granddaughter of the Lizheng family, Holly, were all busy in the field.
Bai Jiaojiao walked over quickly, and then shouted the breeze from afar.
"Brother, my mother also asked me to bring you something to eat, have you eaten?" Bai Jiaojiao said.
Qingfeng heard Bai Jiaojiao's cry, stood up from the field, and patted the mud on his hands with his hand, so that he didn't look so embarrassed, but the sun was so big, and then his clothes were soaked with sweat.
It doesn't look so refreshing, it's still very embarrassing.
Seeing Bai Jiaojiao standing far away from him, waving her hand and smiling. Qingfeng was a little stunned, Bai Jiaojiao attracted all his eyes like the sun, and couldn't take his eyes off.
"Yiyi, when did you get back from town?" Qingfeng came to his senses and asked hurriedly.
Bai Jiaojiao led the basket and ran towards the breeze quickly.
Seeing Da Lin's sister-in-law, the aunt of the Li Zheng family and Holly, Bai Jiaojiao said hello.
"Sister-in-law Lin, auntie, I brought some water from home, do you want to drink it?"
"Hey, Yiyi, you are really a good boy, we are thirsty, now the sun is big, but there is not much left in the ground, if you want to end it quickly, you don't have to wait." Sister-in-law Dalin said. "It's not going to be delayed. Thank you for coming here. ”
"Hey, sister-in-law Da Lin, what are you planting in this field?"
Bai Jiaojiao looked at the plants in the field suspiciously, it was not the rice peanut or something like Bai Jiaojiao's imagination, it looked more like a tree, it looked very familiar, but she didn't know what it was for a while.
"Ouch, these are all worthless things, you must not have seen them, but we have been planting this in the mountains for generations, and we only have this kind of tree on our side that can be planted in the ground, and when it grows up, it will be sold in the town, and it can barely make some money, so we have to plant this kind of tree." The aunt of the Li Zheng family said.
She knew that Bai Jiaojiao was also a child of a rich family before, but it was only later because of the war that she became like this. This child knows etiquette and etiquette, unlike them, who were born to suffer hardships and suffering.
"Yiyi, nothing happened when you went to town, don't go alone next time, go with you when I'm free, I'm not worried about you alone, I've never settled down this morning, I've been afraid that something will happen to you." Qingfeng stepped forward and said to Bai Jiaojiao.
Qingfeng really didn't settle down this morning. Bai Jiaojiao, who has always been worried, after all, Bai Jiaojiao's identity may not have experienced this, and she is not very young.
"Ouch, brother, don't worry, how old am I." Bai Jiaojiao said that she didn't tell Qingfeng about being robbed of her wallet by thieves, for fear that they would worry.
"Brother, my mother wants me to bring you some steamed buns, but there are not many, you can eat them together." Bai Jiaojiao hurriedly changed the topic, for fear that Qingfeng would continue to ask herself.
"Such a big sun, you just came back from the town, you must be tired, you go back first, put these things here, and when I go back, just take these things back, you don't have to wait here, go back and rest first."
Qingfeng used his sleeve to shield Bai Jiaojiao from the sun.
Looking at the girl standing in front of her, unlike the children who grew up in the countryside, she is very exquisite, and she has gained a lot of weight this year, and she has grown a lot taller.
The facial features are also very delicate, with big eyes and willow eyebrows, because of the long-term sun exposure, the cheeks are tanned, and the skin itself is very fair, there are some men on the round nose, and the hair on the forehead is very weak on the cheeks.
Bai Jiaojiao ignored Qingfeng's words, but stepped forward and saw the tree they had cut down.
When they saw the tree they had cut down in the breeze, they almost stomped their feet and looked up to the sky and sighed at the violent destruction of the heavens!
It turned out that Qingfeng they cut down wild camellia trees. It is the season when the tea seeds are ripe, and the red, red, yellow and yellow tea seeds are all over the branches, bending the branches.
Let's take a look at the tea trees that were abandoned by Qingfeng and a few people. Bai Jiaojiao's mood is so complicated, it is difficult to describe all the words in this world.
"Brother," Bai Jiaojiao shouted to Qingfeng who was swinging a knife and struggling to cut down trees, "Brother, are there many such trees on this mountain?" ”
"Not much, but it's all in the nearby mountains." Qingfeng said. At the end, she looked at Bai Jiaojiao suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with this tree? ”
It's not just a problem, it's a big problem!
"Brother, don't cut down the tree, pick the fruit of this tree with me." After the words fell, Bai Jiaojiao called out to Da Lin's sister-in-law who was tying the trees below, "Da Lin's sister-in-law, you go home and carry the bamboo basket we used to pick herbs, all of them." ”
As soon as Bai Jiaojiao's words fell, Dongqing, the youngest granddaughter of the Li Zheng family closest to Qingfeng, came over.
"Sister Jiaojiao," Holly stepped forward, looked at the tea seeds in Bai Jiaojiao's hand, and asked, "Is this also a medicinal herb?" ”
Bai Jiaojiao shook her head, "It's not a medicinal herb, but it's even better than a medicinal herb." ”
"How so?" Holly asked puzzledly: "This thing can't be eaten and can't be used, every time we cut a branch, we have to clean it, otherwise it will die." ”
Bai Jiaojiao knew that whether it was a previous dynasty that had been subverted or a dynasty that had just been established, only the families of princes and nobles could use tea.
If she could use tea as a business opportunity...... just had an idea, and was choked by Bai Jiaojiao.
Even in modern society, tea has to rely on large-scale artificial cultivation in order to become a circulating and profitable commodity. Just relying on the scattered tea trees on this mountain, she wants to treat it as a money-making industry, is she crazy about money?
"This is a tea tree, these leaves that you don't like can be made into water to drink." Bai Jiaojiao said.
"Isn't it?!" Holly's eyes widened and she looked at the leaf in her hand, "This thing can be drunk with water?" ”
Bai Jiaojiao nodded.
"Then, that ......" Qingfeng swallowed his dry throat, "then how much money do I have to burn alone?" You don't know, my favorite thing is to cut down this kind of tree and burn it. ”
