Luo Qingqing came outside, and there was a lot of noise outside his house, all of them were nearby neighbors.

She smiled kindly and opened the door.

When the villagers outside saw her, they greeted her with a smile.

"Qingqing girl, are you busy?"

"It's okay, it's not too busy, I'm just helping my mother cook."

"Alas, the young girl is really capable, looking at this is to build a new house."

Luo Qingqing glanced back at his new warehouse, "It's just to build two warehouses, and by the way, repair the family's old house." ”

"By the way, ladies and gentlemen, aren't you busy now?"

The eldest lady of the Feng family said first: "What is there to be busy with, the crops in this field are growing, and the weather is hot, that is, staying at home." ”

"yes, there's nothing to do." The aunt of the Wang family also said.

"It's okay to do nothing, I just need someone here."

When these villagers heard this, they all came over, "What kind of manpower do you need?" ”

"The hands of the people who collect the medicine."

"Herbs?"

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

They are all country people, and they don't know anything but plough the fields and do menial work. Collecting medicine, they really can't do it.

Luo Qingqing patiently explained: "That's right. While everyone is here, I want to announce this to you. My family built a warehouse to store medicinal herbs, and I plan to set up a medicinal herb purchasing point. In other words, the medicine collected by the people in our village can be brought to me to sell. ”

"But we don't know how to take medicine." There was humanity in the crowd.

"yes, I know you won't. But I will, so what I'm going to do today is to recruit an apprentice first. Whether it is a man or a woman, I recruit them here, and they are under the age of 40, and they are willing to learn medicine from me, and then collect medicine. ”

Everyone listened to Luo Qingqing's words and muttered again.

Luo Qingqing knew that they had no experience and must have ideas, so he continued: "If you have anything to ask, you can ask it, and I will patiently answer it to you." ”

When the words fell, the eldest lady of the Feng family smiled and said, "This Qingqing, is it difficult to be an apprentice who collects medicine?" ”

"It's not difficult, just like identifying crops, you can identify them from the appearance and smell of herbs, and you can recognize them."

"Then if you come to be an apprentice, how many copper plates will you give every month?"

"Well, then there won't be." Luo Qingqing said: "But Aunt Feng, although there is no fixed copper plate to give." However, we have a meal here every day at noon. When the apprentice has learned it himself, and all the medicines I have collected have passed my identification, then I will buy these herbs at a reasonable price, and the money will go to the apprentice himself. As long as you are willing to study hard, and then work hard to collect medicine, there is no problem with at least dozens of copper plates every month. ”

When Luo Qingqing said this, everyone understood a lot, and they discussed it one by one.

"This seems to work."

"Yes, even if you can't learn, you still have one meal a day."

Li Rui'er greeted warmly, "What a great opportunity, if you have signed up to be an apprentice, hurry up and sign up." ”

"Come here." The eldest lady of the Feng family took her son to the side to discuss, and then said to Luo Qingqing: "Qingqing girl, you have a talented brother in my family who wants to try it." ”

When Luo Qingqing heard this, he looked at Feng Youcai, who looked honest in his early twenties. immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, Brother Youcai, you can sign up with Sister Rui'er." ”

Feng Youcai agreed, and went to Li Rui'er's side.

With the first, soon there was the second.

Wang Fu, the son of the Wang family's aunt, also followed to sign up.

In this way, after a while, Luo Qingqing recruited ten apprentices.

Ten apprentices are recruited, and the number is enough. There are too many, Luo Qingqing is afraid that he can't bring it himself.

"Okay, let's ten apprentices come in, let's sign a contract and press a handprint. This contract is valid for two years, and the medicine collected within two years must be sold by me, and after two years, you can sell it anywhere else. ”

While leading the apprentices into the gate, Luo Qingqing found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Brother Gangzi, come and write a contract." Luo Qingqing beckoned to Liu Gang.

Liu Gang stared wide-eyed, "No, Qingqing, I don't know much about writing, let alone writing." ”

"Uh-you can't write?" Luo Qingqing suddenly regretted that he should have found someone to write a contract before recruiting an apprentice.

It's all to blame for not having a brain for a while.

But what now? The words have been spoken.

Can you get the crooked words you wrote?

"Hurry up and write, Qingqing." Li Rui'er's quick temper came up and urged.

Luo Qingqing reluctantly picked up the grinding block and grinded it in the inkstone, and the difficult look on his face could hardly be concealed.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded above his head, "Qingqing girl, do you want me to help you." ”

Hearing this, Luo Qingqing suddenly raised her head like a savior, only to see that it was Liu Hongzhi, the son of the village chief, who came to her.

By the way, Liu Hongzhi is the most serious scholar in the village.

She hurriedly said: "Okay, then thank you Liu Gongzi." ”

Liu Hongzhi walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and dipped his pen in ink familiarly, "You don't need to call me Liu Gongzi, just call me Hongzhi." ”

"Well, then you're welcome."

"You say, I'll write it."

With Liu Hongzhi's help, the contract was written in a short time, and the apprentices pressed their handprints one after another, and then went home to wait for the news.

Luo Qingqing looked at the clear and delicate font on the paper, and said in a low voice: "Hongzhi, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be embarrassed today." ”

Liu Hongzhi smiled gently, "Don't be so polite, you saved me, and it's only natural that I will help you." ”

"Oh, you said that day, I was just doing it."

"This is all a gesture, then your medical skills must be very powerful, in the future, if there is anything uncomfortable, then it will be troublesome for the young girl."

"Hehe, don't bother, we all grew up in the same village, and if you have a headache and brain fever in the future, you can just look for me." Luo Qingqing's answer was crisp, and her eyes were as clear and clear as a stream.

Liu Hongzhi looked at her in a trance, as if he suddenly realized that she was so good-looking.

He bent down embarrassedly to lift a basket, which was full of yellow apricots, "By the way, Qingqing girl, I actually came to thank you today." These yellow apricots are all my own, although they are not worth a few dollars, but they are also a distraction of my Liu Hongzhi. ”

The basket of yellow apricots is big and clean. Seeing Luo Qingqing, he was salivating.

She simply agreed, "Okay, then I'll take it." Wait for me, I'll put the apricots down, and you can take the basket back. ”

"Okay."

Luo Qingqing entered the house and poured the apricots into his basket, and sent the basket out, "Hongzhi, here you go." ”

"Okay, young girl, you're busy, I'll go back first."

"Walk slowly, come back when you're free."

Luo Qingqing politely sent Liu Hongzhi away, and then hurried back to help the Xu family.

She was about to step into the threshold of the kitchen, but Li Ruier walked out with a smile and deliberately bumped her arm.

"Sister Rui'er, what are you doing?"
