Chapter 67: Homecoming

The night doctor also said this at the time, so he also knew that there was a price difference.

He Dahua didn't think much about it, just smiled and said: "Now it seems that this herb business can still be done, you say we can grow herbs and sell them, if you keep buying here, I wonder if this is possible to grow herbs, a few days ago I was still discussing this matter with your aunt, after all, the herbs in the mountains are wild and anyone can pick them, and some people will not care about whether they can pick herbs in the future, and they don't leave any seeds at all, and it is estimated that there will not be many herbs picked next year." ”

This is something that he and Aunt Liao are worried about, after all, there are a lot of people who follow the herbs now, and many places in the mountains where there are medicinal herbs have been destroyed, and I don't know if the herbs will grow next year.

His idea is very simple, planting herbs is always better than growing grain to make money, now an acre of land to plant millet will also collect two or three hundred catties, after paying taxes, it is not enough for the family to eat for a year, and the price of herbs is obviously more expensive than grain, the most important thing is that the yield of herbs is very high, much higher than the yield of millet in the field.

A few days ago, Lin Zifu thought about planting medicinal herbs, but later leased it to Zhou Qiangui because the land was confiscated, which also made her rest.

Now He Dahua put forward this suggestion is good, she thinks about it carefully, it seems to work, there are many herbs on the mountain, but by everyone picking like this, next year's harvest is estimated to be not as good as this year, a year is not as good as a year, and it is indeed not conducive to development in the long run.

There are also many people picking medicine in the nearby villages, and the mountains that are a little closer to them have basically been picked, so if you want to do this business for a long time, you have to find another way.

Lin Zifu smiled at He Dahua and said with a gentle smile: "This can be considered carefully, Uncle Dahua, have you and Aunt Liao thought about it?" If you could really grow herbs, would you be the first to do so? ”

He Dahua and Aunt Liao basically agree on this matter, after all, farming is really not profitable.

nodded very firmly and said: "I think very clearly with your aunt, farming for a year is really not profitable, but we still need your help to grow medicinal herbs, your aunt and I don't understand anything, if you can, your uncle will probably follow the planting, and your big brother Yunhu." ”

Lin Zifu smiled heartily: "This is natural, as long as you plant medicinal herbs, I will naturally help, your proposal is really a good way, there should still be people in the village who are willing to follow the planting, I see that everyone on the mountain has not planted much." ”

Recently, she often went up the mountain to collect medicine and found that the land utilization rate in the mountain behind the village is very low, and the mulberry trees planted in it are not very good.

And the situation in the next village is almost the same, she doesn't understand, isn't everyone worried about paying taxes?

When He Dahua heard this, he said eloquently: "Those mulberry trees in the back mountains do not need to pay taxes, because they have not been reported by everyone who has opened up the wasteland by themselves, and there is no land deed, in recent years, silkworm raising has not made money, and everyone has not taken care of mulberry trees, and the situation in the village next door is basically similar to ours, everyone is forced to be helpless, if you make money, you will not have to live and serve these mulberry trees." ”

Lin Zifu nodded suddenly in realization, it turned out that this was the case.

"I also said what is going on, but mulberry trees are also medicinal herbs, I don't recommend that you use paddy fields to grow medicinal herbs in the first year of planting, after all, I haven't planted medicinal herbs before, I don't know if it will be successful, I can't pit you."

He Dahua patted his head and smiled embarrassedly: "It's that I didn't think carefully enough and forgot to tell you, I have made a lot of money with your aunt and you for so long to collect medicine, farming is actually not profitable all year round, and there is basically not much left after paying taxes, I just pondered, after planting the land for a lifetime, it is still the same, it is better to try something else next year, maybe it is a way out, if it really makes money, the family life will be better, and I will bring the two children back." ”

The life at home is too hard, and the two children are forced to be slaves, and it is better to make a living from a big family than to go home and eat chaff vegetables.

But who is a parent who is willing to let their children be slaves and maids for the rest of their lives, naturally they also want to reunite with the family and let their children live a good life.

Lin Zifu appreciates He Dahua's thoughts, it is very good to know how to be flexible, if you farm for a lifetime, there will really be no way out.

She looked at He Dahua with admiring eyes and said: "It's good that you think so, that's good, after you go back, you will put the water in the winter paddy field, and if you want to plant medicinal herbs, the main thing is to drain water, I think about what herbs are better to plant, it's still early to leave spring, I'll go to find a little more seeds during this time, since you plan to plant medicinal herbs, dig a little more honeysuckle vines on the mountain and plant them in the ground." ”

There are so many honeysuckle vines in the mountains that it is actually better to dig some and plant them at home than to go wild in the mountains.

This will be better protected, after all, not everyone who goes up the mountain to collect herbs cherishes those herbs, and often picks what they need, and will not care about next year and the future.

When they got home, it was already early in the morning, and both of them remembered to go home and did not rest on the way, and drove the ox cart back to the village slowly.

The dogs in the village barked when they heard the noise, and it wasn't until Lin Zifu returned home that they calmed down.

Aunt Ying couldn't sleep because she was worried about Lin Zifu, and then she simply got up to cut the herbs.

The conditions at home are much better, and the oil lamp can pick up a larger spark.

So when Lin Zifu went home, Aunt Ying hadn't slept yet, and she opened the door as soon as she heard the sound outside.

Lin Zifu was also tired, she had been talking with He Dahua all the way, and after taking a sip of the cold tea on the table, she said: "I sold a lot of silver today, and there is good news." ”

She couldn't wait to share it with Aunt Ying, and the herbs at home would no longer be sold in the future.

Aunt Ying saw that Lin Zifu was in a good mood, and she couldn't help but feel better.

looked at Lin Zifu with a smile: "What good news." ”

Lin Zifu stepped forward and took Aunt Ying's arm and said: "Doctor Ye took me to meet his friend, Gongzi Qin is in the medicinal materials business, and the Rejuvenation Hall in the county town is opened by Gongzi Qin, it is very big, and the business is also very good, Gongzi Qin said that the herbs can be sent to him in the future, as long as the herbs are good, it will be hard for you Aunt Ying recently." ”

In the next half a month or so to buy herbs, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the herbs on the mountain are becoming more and more difficult to dig, in fact, you can pick herbs all year round, but there are more herbs in autumn, and you can't pick anything in the winter when the snow covers the mountains, so you can only take advantage of this time to refuel.

Aunt Ying was happy in her heart, she was also worried about the sales before, but now all difficulties have been solved.
