Chapter 147: Must Be Selfish
Xu Meiyu and the others brought porridge into the mountain in a pot, so that they didn't have to run back and forth.
When I was hungry at noon, I drank some porridge and continued to look for herbs.
Dad looked at the herbs in the back basket, very curious, there used to be a lot of these grasses, but then I don't know what's wrong, so they don't grow well.
When Meiyu came out, he learned that this relatively short species is called yellow bile grass, and it grows in some arid high places.
"Meiyu, this yellow gall grass should also have two catties, can we really make money?" Dad was full of disbelief, he always felt very mysterious.
"Dad, I will definitely be able to sell it for money, you look at me here, this bone grass also has half a catty, let's look for it further, we will definitely find others, but let's find medicinal herbs, don't tell others, otherwise everyone will go up the mountain to dig, and we will have no way."
Xu Meiyu reminded her father again, lest he accidentally leak his mouth and let people know the trick.
"Well, if Li Zheng asks, we won't talk about it?" Dad was a little puzzled, if he let the family know, he would definitely ask.
"You just say you don't understand, let him ask me."
"Actually, we can take him with us, and one more person won't pull out a lot." Daddy is still thinking about picking up someone else.
"Dad, these herbs grow slowly, if everyone comes out to pull them out for a while, that is, a one-time business, we have to think about the long run." Xu Meiyu said earnestly, whether she is selfish or not, in short, she has to think about her own family before thinking about others.
"You can go farther into the mountains and pull it out."
"Dad, as long as the matter spreads, the people nearby will be pulled out of their own mountains, and no matter how far they go, they will be the first to climb it, how can it be our turn?"
Daddy is really brainless.
Dad was silent, in fact, what the girl said was reasonable, but he was thinking too simply.
They continued their search farther into the mountains.
But everything that can come in handy, Xu Meiyu pulled it out, and when she returned in the evening, her back basket was already full of harvest.
Dad thought about washing the mud of the herbs, but was stopped by Xu Meiyu.
"Dad, these muds, let's dry them and then brush them off, it can't work, after washing, the effect of this medicine will be greatly weakened."
"So, people are willing to ask for it like this?"
"Of course I do."
"Oh, okay, let your mother dry tomorrow, and we'll go into the mountains to find more."
"Dad, early tomorrow morning, I will carry the medicine to the market and sell it, and you can rest at home for a day."
"Aren't these medicines sold after they've been dried?"
"Dad, there is a price for the raw, and the sun-dried has the price of the sun-dried, our place is not suitable for drying herbs, so let's sell it like this."
"It's more expensive to sell it when it's dried, and you don't need to go to the county several times?"
"Let's sell the herbs directly for money, it's like keeping them at home, if someone steals a few handfuls, won't it be all in vain?"
Xu Meiyu said very much, and her father did not continue to refute it.
When she arrived at home, she found that there was smoke curling at home, and the fragrance of egg custard wafted out, Xu Meiyu couldn't help but lick her lips, took three steps and did two steps, and rushed home.
But when she entered the yard, she found Xu Manfu in the yard, staring at her beehive, she couldn't help but be furious, he didn't remember the lesson!
"Xu Manfu, what are you doing in my house, hurry up!"
She let out a loud shout, then lowered the basket on her shoulder to the ground, rolled up her sleeves, and had the motive to beat people.
