The two children looked at each other.

Tang Douer was the first to speak and asked, "Big sister, why did you tell the fat aunt about this?" He pouted, with a little emotion, "The second sister said, if these can be made into medicine and sold to the medical hall in the county, they can make money." If the fat aunt also dries orange peels in the future, won't we be able to sell them? ”

Tang Youniang opened her mouth and asked timidly: "Sister, if Aunt Fat knows about this, the whole village will soon know about it, and the people in the village will grab oranges with us in the future." ”

Wow, I thought it was a big deal.

Tang Yourou turned over the orange peel on the ground, turned the white noodles up, flattened them as much as possible, and said nonchalantly: "If they want to grab it, they can grab it, if they can dry it themselves, they don't have to ask us for it." ”

Tang Youniang imitated her movements, picked the orange peel with her, turned it all white, and said, "But if the uncle and aunt in the village knew how to make this tangerine peel themselves, they wouldn't come...... If they hadn't come, they wouldn't have given us red bean soup or made traps for us. ”

The young lady is obviously only ten years old, but she has quite a city government, and she still knows that she is hiding her secrets?

But this is indeed the atmosphere in the village. If anyone finds something that can make a living, in a blink of an eye, the whole village will start to learn and want a piece of the pie; If anyone picks mushrooms in the forest that can be sold for money, or learns which herb is sold at a high price, the whole village will look for similar plants on the mountain, and even the whole mountain will be bald.

Not to mention that someone like Yang Mian who hides his personal skills can monopolize medical skills for more than ten years, so that the people in the village almost don't know how to treat medicine, which shows his methods.

Tang Youniang will have such a sense of crisis, which is also the result of hearing and seeing.

Tang Yourou couldn't help but nod her sister's head: "Seeing that you have so many eyes, I will be relieved that others will not be able to bully you in the future." ”

Tang Youniang rubbed her forehead and said helplessly: "Sister......"

"It's not that I don't hide my secrets, but I don't really pay much attention to this dried tangerine peel, as long as it is moisture-proof, insect-proof and dry, and enough ventilation. It's so spread out that anyone who walks by our yard can see us drying orange peels, not to mention how long it will take to dry. Rather than them learning on the sly, I'd rather they come and ask me generously. In the past, the three of us hid behind our mother's back, and no one dared to talk to the people in the village, but now we live in a dilapidated house, and everything has to rely on ourselves, and we can't be the same as before. Be good to the people in the village, they can always remember our good, if there is really a white-eyed wolf, only care about their own livelihood and don't let us make a lot of money, then we will not contact us in the future. Tang Yourou shrugged his shoulders and said, "And those who believe in us will feel that this is valuable, and if they don't believe us, they will only think that we are talking big, and we want to save orange peels for the winter." ”

This kind of thing is inherently owed. The fat aunt just asked a few more words, there was no need to be so wary of her.

What's more, the original owner had never been to the county hospital before, and Tang Yourou was not sure that this tangerine peel could really be sold for money. Her main purpose is to keep it for her younger brother to feed his stomach after it is made, and it would be better if she could sell it for money.

But she has so much knowledge in her head, even if she learns a little, it is only scratching the surface. If the fat aunt is really a bad person, it will cut off their financial route, and of course she will not let it go easily.

At least for now, it's too early to be prepared.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Tang Yourou reached out and rubbed the young lady's head, "I believe that my sister looks at people, and the fat aunt doesn't look like a bad person!" ”

Tang Youniang felt her confidence, the melancholy on her face disappeared, and she said with a smile: "Young Lady believes in my sister!" ”

Tang Dou'er's eyes widened, and she sat on the side and listened to her sisters, but obviously didn't understand, clapped her hands and said, "Dou'er also thinks that the eldest sister is right, the fat aunt is not a bad person." Second sister, we can only tell her one and ask her not to tell the public! ”

That's not the right point at all, right?

Tang Yourou smiled, did not continue to explain, and changed the topic: "You help me dry the orange peel, just spread it upwards inside, be careful not to fold it." ”

The young lady happily agreed, but Dou'er said that she would learn to make traps from Orion, and she ran away without a trace.

Tang and Roucai came to the shade behind the house and took out the box of herbs picked from the mountain one by one.

More than two hours have passed, and the herbs of the first shape are green and delicate, with erect stems and leaves, and full leaf petals.

In fact, when she collects the herbs, she deliberately leaves the soil around the roots. After all, it takes at least more than an hour to go back and forth on the mountain, and she has the intention of planting herbs, so she has deliberately sprinkled water into the basket to moisturize.

Knowing that the herbs wouldn't wither so quickly, she didn't take them out in front of the three of them.

Is this the hiding that the young lady wants?

Tang Yourou buried the herbs that were not to be used for the time being in the small vegetable patch outside the courtyard, poured water, sprinkled a few drops of rape seeds in his pocket, and put them in a shady corner where the sun could not be exposed to the sun to sprout, and then washed the whole plant of dandelion, desmodium, Chuanqiong, Tianqi and other herbs that have the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, with well water.

These herbs should have been dried and some of them were ground or cut into sections, such as Tianqi, Chuanqiong, and generally only dried stems were used for medicinal purposes. But now Shen Qiuyue can't wait, and she and her younger siblings also have a lot of bruises that Mrs. Tang scolded them before and haven't gone away, if she can massage them carefully and scratch off the bruises, her body will feel better after all.

Tang and Rou sat at the low table, and without the pharmaceutical tools at hand, they could only grind the medicine and extract the juice by beating it with stones.

At this moment, she suddenly felt like a primitive person living in the mountains.

I miss the wall breaker, I miss the blender, even if I have a pestle......

"Sister, I'll help you." After Tang Youniang dried the orange peel, she came to Tang Yourou's side.

"Great, young lady, you are my intimate little padded jacket! Grind carefully, mash and extract the juice, and divide it into two bowls when it is ready. Tang and Rou stood up from the low table and moved their sore arms.

The young lady looked confused.

What is a padded jacket?

She and the young lady took turns making herbs, and if anyone had a sore arm, they would change to another person.

The two were making herbal medicines, and Brother Niu came.

The plasterer had a swarthy complexion, a kind face, a tall and thin man, and dirt between his fingernails, but he didn't care at all. His family died when he was a child, and because of his honest duty, the people in the village would give him work as soon as he wanted to make a mud hut. After a long time, he became the only plasterer in the village, and even found a few doorways in the mud house.

He was not good at words, and Tang and Rou didn't talk to him for long, so they got to the point.

This dilapidated house has been abandoned for decades, not only because there are cracks in the walls, but also because the internal corners are full of mold, and the mud windows are very small, and the ventilation and lighting are not smooth. Perhaps it is for this reason that the original owner lived here and often fell ill, and even his mother died in this room.

Tang and Rou were full of medical concepts, how to renovate the house to be healthy and comfortable, and thought that they could rebuild several other ruins, so they chattered endlessly.

But Brother Niu's face is getting darker and darker.
