CHAPTER XVII
Speaking of this, it makes people angry, but fortunately, the character of the original selection is good, although I am anxious, I didn't say anything bad. But the words are ugly enough, this digging of herbs is personal, and no one forces them to be true.
When teaching the identification of herbal medicines, the Shen family did not hide it, and some people asked to see that the character was good, but they said that they could be recycled, but it would be a few days later, and it was not yet determined. Therefore, seven or eight households were added later, and they were also poor families with many people and few lands.
At first, there were other people who joined, but they were just eager for quick success, picking indiscriminately, and when they went to the pharmacy, they were angrily reprimanded, saying that they were fooling with weeds, and they drove out! When he returned to the village, he maliciously played right and wrong, and some wavering people gave up.
In addition, the Shen family has not been determined, and those people are idle every day, and follow the people who dig herbs, saying that the Shen family is black-hearted and so on.
Therefore, the whole Shen family was full of breath, just waiting for Shen Xinran to open his mouth when he could make a big deal and vent his evil anger.
This is what a few little ones told when they were cooking dinner. Listening to a few small grievances, I was also distressed, and I really wanted to see if they hurt when they were slapped in the face.
Shen Xinran sneered, living child, this herb has not been promoted yet, and it is really a bunch of weeds that no one wants.
The more certain he was in his heart to take the line of Zhenghetang, there was nothing wrong with Zhenghetang accepting the herb at the beginning, after all, there was only a verbal promise, and no one could testify, Shen Xinran couldn't do anything, he could only admit that he was unlucky. After this time, Shen Xinran felt more and more that Zhenghetang was a worthy partner.
"That's it," Shen Xinran thought about it and felt that this matter should not be delayed, and she also wanted to sit back and wait for the moment of slapping her face! After dinner, we went to inform them to start collecting now, and when the hour of tomorrow came, we would settle the bill before dinner tomorrow, and if we could believe it, we would come over and settle it the day after tomorrow. ”
After dinner, Shen Xinran and Shen Mengshi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the others went to inform.
When everyone came back, they were nervous, and after waiting for a long time, they didn't see anyone coming, so they couldn't help but be a little disheartened.
"Sister, why didn't they come yet, they said they knew when I left." The little Shen Ziyang was hit.
Shen Xinran didn't want to hit Shen Ziyang, could he tell him that this might be someone else's polite response, don't take it seriously!
Looking at their sincere gazes, Shen Xinran was a little speechless.
"Nine times out of ten, life doesn't go as planned, and wait."
"They must have been preparing to eat when you went, so soon." Shen Youshou smiled and solved the siege.
"Oh, it's all here," as soon as Shen Youshou's voice fell, someone echoed.
"It's Aunt Zheng, come in!" Shen Wu's surprise greets the past!
"Brother Zhuangzi" Aunt Zheng's twelve-year-old child! Shen Ziyang also ran over. "Uncle Zheng Chang! Sister Hua'er!" I saw that there were people in the back who were busy saying hello.
The arrival of Aunt Zheng's family resurrected the Shen family with full blood.
Everyone took their herbs with all hands and feet, and used sacks, there were eight bags of them! Plus two back baskets, the back basket is honeysuckle. Fortunately, the herbs were light, and Uncle Zheng Chang carried four sacks by himself.
"Sanniu was just about to eat when she went, or she would have come early." Aunt Zheng is familiar with Shen Wu's family, and she will explain it if nothing happened.
"No hurry! It doesn't matter if you take your time!" Shen Wu said with a smile, and he was also touched that Aunt Zheng believed in her so much.
A village is also acquaintances, and everyone chats from time to time.
The Zheng family's herbs are all air-dried, and it can be seen that they are also attentive, and they are not fake! Everything is well sorted!
"Cang'er: one hundred and five, thorn fresh: eighty, white thatch: sixty-five, lobelia: seventy, plantain: sixty-seven, honeysuckle: twenty, total: four hundred and seven catties. Brother Zheng Chang, please come over and stamp your handprint. I'll let you know tomorrow to settle the bill!"
"Can I still not believe you!" Zheng Changle said!
"I thought we occupied the land early, but I didn't expect Aunt Zheng's family to be so fast!" It's the neighbor's pillar house that comes in!
"It's not, I'm here after dinner!" Aunt Zheng said heartily.
"You've got it all right, then I have to hurry, I heard a sound outside."
Sure enough, the village chief's family and the old family came later, and the courtyard was full of people, and people kept coming and coming out in the back, which was very lively.
Later, Shen Youshou couldn't keep accounts, Shen Xinran set up a table again, and the uncle and nephew were busy.
Everyone slept well this night, the key was to be tired, and in the morning they were woken up by a knock on the door!
The family was sleepy-eyed, which made everyone embarrassed. The man who came to work in the town came back late, so he rushed in the morning.
"Granny Shen, I'm from Guo Zi's family in the west." Someone who came was uneasy to say hello!
Most of the Yishan villages are ancestors, and there are a few families in the west who are outsiders, and the Guo family is one of them.
"Come in quickly," Shen Mengshi greeted him with a smile, "It's our rudeness, have we had breakfast?" ”
"Eat... After eating, the person who came obviously didn't expect Shen Mengshi to be so good at talking. The people in this village are still a little repulsive to outsiders, and if she wasn't too poor, she wouldn't dare to take the risk of following them to learn to dig herbs.
"You should move around more, you are all from the same village, people are old and forgetful, if you don't say it, you won't recognize it." Shen Mengshi led the family to the herb collection place, and then left to clean up himself. I was so happy last night that I woke up late in the morning, which is really a joke.
"Daddy, this Shen family is pretty good." With a lot of white eyes, a little warmth can feel as comfortable as a spring breeze. "It's all the same here and there, there are good and bad, it's we narrowed."
"Do what you want, I'll go to work first." As an outsider, if you can, no one wants to leave their homeland. It was already noon when I arrived in the town, so I went straight to Zhenghe Hall. Seeing that the shopkeeper Wen came out to pick them up, the medicine boy guided them to the back hall to weigh and inspect the goods, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
"Xiao Ran hasn't eaten lunch this time, and it's not so fast for a while, so it's better for the old man to invite you to Qingfeng Building for a gathering." It's useless to wait here.
One night and one morning, in fact, it was just one night, and in the morning a family named Guo Zi came, and the others were collected last night, and they collected 5,230 catties together, and the family also dug 300 catties, a total of 5,530 catties.
Three ox carts set off from the village to the town, and of course the long-tongued women in the village were indispensable. I'm laughing at these people for being stupid, and they don't have money to do it, and they're all stupid, but they're smart.
Shen Xinran didn't bother to pay attention to them, whatever they liked!
The people who drove the car were Shen Liang, the eldest son of the village chief, Shen Huai, the eldest son of the patriarch, and Shen Huaicai, the youngest son of the third uncle. This was requested by Shen Xinran, and it was also a tranquilizer for those who believed in the Shen family. and Shen Youfu entered the town with five people.
