Chapter 29 Making Medicinal Herbs
"I hear you." Lu Zhiqiong grabbed the person.
Zhong Libai helped the person to the inner courtyard and sat down, and asked casually, "What did you hear?" ”
Lu Zhiqiong stared at her, and opened his mouth, "You call my husband." ”
Zhong Libai's inexplicable old face turned red and coughed lightly, "You heard it wrong, I didn't say it." ”
She only pulled people to talk about the separation last time, and she called her husband after changing her mouth, which did sound a bit too scummy, and she was bumped into by the main owner, which was embarrassing.
Lu Zhiqiong didn't refute, changed the topic, and asked her what she planned to do next, it would definitely not work if there was no income at home.
Zhong Libai borrowed 10,000 yuan, for the farmer, she may not be able to pay it back in a few lifetimes, but she is bold, and she opens her mouth to 10,000 taels.
If it was still the previous Lu family, Lu Zhiqiong would be able to help him return without effort, but now he, the son of Lu, is just an ornament, and he is simply powerless.
"What's going on in your head!" Zhong Libai pinched the young man's face, "You can rest assured that you can recuperate, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
It's not that she has no way, borrowing money is only temporary, although the Lu family has a large population now, but there is a lot of power in the population, and it is not impossible to make money.
After Zhong Libai took care of the situation at home, he instructed them how to grow vegetables and cultivate fruit trees, handed over all the people to Lu Fan to manage, and slipped away by himself.
She deliberately went to find the original owner's friend, that is, the girl Hong Ye who told her where the silver was buried last time, but she didn't think about it at all.
Hong Ye felt sorry for her when she learned that her friend couldn't sell meatballs, and she didn't blame her at all for why she didn't take her to make money with her, it seems that she really regarded the original owner as a friend.
Zhong Libai told her his idea, saying that he wanted to dig herbs to sell, and asked her if she wanted to work together, the two of them cooperated, or she could pay the salary.
Hong Ye has never seen the world, naturally he doesn't know the market in the town, and when he heard that he was selling medicinal herbs, he refused to accept the wages again and again, saying that he could help if he was free.
"Hong Ye, I really looked for you as a friend, so you don't have to continue to postpone it." Zhongli Bai took her shoulders and shook her twice.
Hong Ye's face turned red, and he whispered to her, "Xiaobai, you bring me pastries back, grandma has said that I have been a few times." ”
"I'm not worried that you and grandma won't eat well!" Zhongli Bai gave a reason.
She continued to talk nonsense, "I can't take you with you to sell balls, after all, grandma needs someone to stay and take care of her, and you don't need to go to the town to dig herbs, we can stay in the village to do it." ”
"Shopkeeper Wang is also collecting dry goods in the village, will it be ...... for us to do this" Hong Ye was a little worried.
Of course, Zhong Libai knew about the king's shopkeeper, but what did it have to do with her? The other party interfered in her meatball business, and she turned him into an army.
"Don't be afraid, I know a noble person in the town, and we won't get in the way of digging herbs, you just need to follow me with confidence." Zhong Libai comforted.
To be honest, she really didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper Wang, that is, the Tongfu Inn behind him was a little troublesome, but with Boss Mu here, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Zhong Libai said that he would do it, and the next day he took Hong Ye to the mountains to dig up a lot of familiar medicinal herbs, and specially set aside a piece of land for planting.
Although there was no selling price yet, Zhong Libai still gave Hong Ye a hundred copper plates a day, and she was originally given two hundred, but she decided not to accept it, and forced her to accept a hundred pieces.
Xujiacun said that it is not small, and what happens in the village will naturally reach the ears of others, Zhongli Bai planted grass and others laughed, and they were stunned when they learned that it was a medicinal herb.
Especially when he learned that Zhong Libai deliberately bought medicinal herbs to plant and purchased medicinal herbs in the village, many people in the village were moved.
Zhong Libai is not stupid, she gave Hong Ye a high price because they had a good relationship, and outsiders did not have such a good treatment, and the herbs were only charged for a copper plate and a catty.
Because it is admitted, a copper plate is also a good price, and the villagers only need to wash the herbs, the herbs are not damaged, and the roots and leaves are rotten.
Because everyone in the family had something to do, the matter of collecting medicinal herbs fell on Lu Mi'er's head, and she helped collect money and asked Lu Mu to weigh medicinal herbs to the villagers.
Many people deliberately made it very wet, and the water was pressed with more scales, Lu Mi'er didn't know it on the first day, Zhong Libai taught her a lesson after learning about it, and the next day he didn't accept anything he wanted to be confused.
Zhong Libai knew that the villagers were very lazy if they didn't set rules at the beginning, so he asked Lu Mu to take people to the mountains to dig medicinal herbs, and he stayed behind to collect them personally.
Many people's herbs are particularly watery, because they soaked too much and lost the root of the herbs, she directly refused to accept them, and picked up the rotten goods that she collected yesterday one by one to explain.
"Don't blame me for being too careful, the goods I received here are not good, and I must not be able to sell them, I don't lose much if I buy one or two things, and I will definitely not be able to bear it if I buy it every day."
"Since you want to cooperate with me, you have to show sincerity, the medicinal properties of rotten root herbs are definitely not good, if you don't bring the goods according to my requirements, the Lu family will not accept them in the future."
"Although the words are ugly, I am also for the good of everyone, the herbs you sell are good, I am happy to receive them, and we cooperate happily with each other, and the business will not be bad, on the contrary, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhong Libai said very clearly, if you want to sell herbs to her, you have to come up with good things, it is not okay to fill up the number indiscriminately, and when the time comes, it will waste everyone's time, no wonder she refuses to accept it ruthlessly.
Many villagers secretly wrote down what Zhong Libai said, and took a few more glances at the several samples that were not good, as well as the samples of how comfortable a plant looked.
Zhong Libai did not hoard the herbs collected at home, he dried them by manual methods, and dried them in the sun for two days, so that the medicinal properties would not be clean.
Because the herbs have to be dried by hand, the firewood at home is used a lot, and the work on the field side is almost complete, and the manpower can be arranged.
Zhong Libai, no one in the family, was not at ease, so he deliberately asked Xu Shan to help take care of the hospital, and he still counted the salary, although he was not in good health, it was still feasible to fight a few Diao people.
The affairs of the family were arranged clearly, with Lu Fan in charge, Lu Zhiqiong staring, Zhong Libai was much more relaxed, and went to the town with the first batch of herbs.
She was not familiar with the town, so she went to Boss Mu to ask about the market, and took Lu Ping and Hongye to a more fair hospital in the town.
"Hello, is Dr. Zhong there?" Zhong Libai asked the two of them to wait outside, and went in to inquire first.
She was greeted by a young man of about twenty, who was about to make a plate, when he heard a voice and looked up a little impatiently, "Didn't you see that I was busy?" Noisy ......"
Seeing the person in front of him clearly, the young man closed his mouth and immediately changed his smiling face, "This young lady, do you need anything?" ”
"I'll look for Dr. Zhong, can I trouble him to come out?" Zhong Libai politely asked again.
The young man looked at her in a daze, and after a long time of understanding, his face turned red, and he dropped a sentence of waiting, and immediately rushed into the inner courtyard to greet the doctor.
Unexpectedly, it was an acquaintance who came out, and when the other party saw her, he immediately greeted her, "Xiaobai, why are you here?" ”
Zhong Libai unexpectedly glanced at the old man who treated Xu Shan, "The doctor Zhong introduced by Boss Mu is you?" ”
Lao Langzhong laughed, "Xiao Mu introduced me, it seems that the two of you are quite destined, but it's a pity." ”
Zhong Libai naturally understood what Lao Langzhong's pity meant, and said directly, "I planted a little herb, I don't know if you can collect it here?" ”
Lao Langzhong immediately said that he would accept it, even if there was no shortage of medical halls, he would have to accept it for the sake of Boss Mu's favor, not to mention that he liked this girl very much.
Zhong Libai went out to greet and wait for the two of them, followed Lao Langzhong into the inner courtyard with a basket, and showed the medicinal materials made to Dr. Zhong for a closer look.
Lao Langzhong laughed after seeing it, saying that Xiaobai's preservation method was particularly interesting, saying that it was the first time he had seen such a complete medicinal material, and he immediately asked for it.
Because she was an acquaintance, Lao Langzhong did not lower the price, and gave her the price of one pound and one hundred copper plates, although it was not expensive, it was reasonable.
Zhongli Bai harvested one copper plate, ten copper plates for a bundle of firewood, even if labor is added, only thirty copper plates are consumed when the sky is over.
Although it is said that the raw goods shrink when they are dried, roughly calculated, Zhongli still made money in vain, and of course, it was Lao Langzhong who raised the face price higher.
The first batch of medicinal herbs she made made was more than 300 catties, one catty of 100 copper plates, ten catties was one tael of silver, and more than 300 catties were more than 30 taels.
Because he was an acquaintance, he wiped the change the first time he sold Zhong Libai, and directly took thirty taels, and the remaining part of the herbs should be used as a collection for Lao Langzhong.
Lao Lang Zhongle hehe, he felt that Xiaobai was very good at being a person, and he didn't take her in vain, so he sent her a few packets of medicinal materials to replenish her body, saying that next time there will be good goods to continue to sell.
Zhong Libai responded with a smile, took Lu Ping and Hong Ye to buy some goods, bought two clothes for Hong Ye, and the grandmother at home also took two winter clothes.
After counting the seven-seven-eighty-eight, the silver sold has bottomed out again, not to mention that when I go home, I have to reward the people who help at home.
Although people don't need to pay for it, they don't need to be rewarded! There is no silver for food and shelter, and it is easy to cause them to be dissatisfied.
The business opened quite well, Zhong Libai sent Hong Ye home, and the Lu family didn't hide it from them, and let Lu Ping tell him about the medicinal materials sold today.
When many people heard that those herbs could be sold for thirty taels of silver, their eyes lit up one by one, and they said that they would try their best to help dig up more herbs and come back to Yunyun.
Zhong Libai didn't treat them badly, the first time he sold things was by groping, and he didn't buy them winter clothes because he lacked money at home.
The group of people who were bought back didn't know why the master lacked money, mainly because they bought them, and it cost a lot of money to buy land and build a house.
They didn't choose to leave at first, they just felt that Zhong Libai was very kind, where would there be a request at this time, they would not worry about food and clothing every day, and it would be very good to give them a place to live.
Zhong Libai didn't force their thoughts, it was good to be wary and understanding, and she didn't want to buy a bunch of white-eyed wolves by herself, so it would be a big loss.
