Chapter 211: Exhaustion
He Dayou understood what Lin Zifu meant, and promised: "You can rest assured of this, even if I am soft-hearted and want to agree, your aunt will not agree, and I will not be soft-hearted, what their husband and wife have done is a little too much, and I can't stand it." ”
People, it's just disappointing step by step, isn't Li Xiuhua such a person.
The two rested for half an hour, and when the sun was not so hot, they went to the next village.
They were already more than 20 miles away from Hejia Village, and they didn't spend much time in the village in the morning, but they spent the longest time on the road.
Every village she chooses to go to is backed by the mountains, and the rolling mountains are rich in resources, but they have been ignored by everyone before, or in other words, everyone can't find the value of the gold and silver mountains.
This is a very heart-wrenching thing, at least Lin Zifu feels very heart-wrenching.
Every village I went to was very poor, and it could be said that it was not much better than Hejia Village, and even walked to a slightly more remote village, and there were people in it who couldn't wear shoes.
Such a scene inevitably makes her sad, and poverty makes everyone's face lose its brilliance.
Lin Zifu patiently explained to the people in the village how to collect medicine and how to go to the town to sell medicine.
The people in the village heard that Lin Zifu was taking them to make money, and they listened patiently.
This village is called Xiangshui Village, and it is full of people with a surname, I heard that it used to be a family that fled from the famine and has been thriving.
Village Chief Wu had joy on his face, and this joy came from the heart and was undisguised.
Lin Zifu likes to see such a smile, and it seems that after seeing this smile, she really feels that these people are fresh beings, and their eyes are no longer numb and dull.
Village Chief Wu said excitedly: "Have you all listened well, those honeysuckles on the mountain are herbs that can be sold for money, who came before, it's not that I envy the people of Hejia Village who follow Miss Lin to collect medicine to make money, now that good things have fallen on our heads, you must collect medicine according to Miss Lin's requirements." ”
Everyone in the village is also excited, who doesn't like to make money, everyone likes it.
One by one, they nodded in agreement.
Lin Zifu smiled: "I don't say how much silver you can make with me, because how much you make depends on how many herbs you sell, this year's purchase of honeysuckle is very strict, the county shopkeeper made it clear to me, as long as the buds, so you can only pick the buds, remember that there can be no dew and rain on the buds when picking, you are some distance from the town, you can pick back and dry it, and if you have time, you can quickly send it to the town to sell, I don't think I can give you the money first, after all, I bought a little more this time, I don't have that much capital myself, but I'm from Hejia Village, which can't run away, and when I sell the first batch of dried honeysuckle, I can give you silver, which will take about ten days. ”
Village Chief Wu has no objection to this request, and he can understand that there are many people in the vicinity, and if they all settle the silver directly, they will need a lot.
He Dayou also promised: "It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with Miss Lin, you are familiar with me, I He Dayou can guarantee you that Miss Lin will give you the money as soon as she gets it, and there will definitely be a situation where you will not give the silver." ”
The people in the village may not believe Lin Zifu, after all, Lin Zifu is a foreigner, but He Dayou is different, a native, it is impossible to deceive everyone.
They all agreed, and were willing to wait until Lin Zifu sold the medicine for the first time to settle the money.
Lin Zifu was very satisfied, and seeing that everyone nodded and agreed, she continued: "As long as you follow me to pick herbs, life will get better day by day, our village is already planting herbs, if you believe me in the future, you can also follow me to plant herbs, of course, when you pick other herbs, I will personally come to the village to teach everyone about herbs." ”
The purchase of medicinal herbs was only on a small scale before, but the village she went to with He Dayou today made her feel that it was really a small fight before.
There are so many mountains in the vicinity that she blames her for not moving around before, so she doesn't know what's going on nearby.
When the sun was about to set, she went home with He Dayou, and she was very tired from running down this day, more tired than working.
Lin Zifu hammered her shoulder and said, "Uncle Dayou has worked hard for you today, followed me to so many places and said so many words. ”
If you don't believe or question it, you will inevitably explain, but fortunately, Li Xiuhua's rumors didn't spread far, and the villages that were a little farther away couldn't hear those ugly words.
He Dayou was a little tired, it was very hard to drive the ox cart, especially to feed the cattle and graze.
However, he is not so hypocritical, no matter how hard the farmer has done, no matter how hard he has been, he comforted: "I'm not tired, this is not working in the field, working in the field is tired, seeing that you are so hard, you don't follow me tomorrow, I'll go to the nearby village alone." ”
He calculated that he had run a total of seven villages today, going back and forth for dozens of miles, and if he wanted to go tomorrow, he would take another direction.
How could Lin Zifu let He Dayou go alone, this was originally her business, how could she trouble He Dayou all, she directly shook her head and refused: "No, I'm already very sorry to let you go out with me to suffer, if I'm afraid of hard work, let you go alone, I won't be at ease, and I will run for a day tomorrow." ”
When she thought about it, she estimated that there were more than a dozen villages, which was almost enough, and no matter how much she was, she couldn't keep it busy.
He Dayou saw that Lin Zifu insisted and it was not easy to persuade him, and he was worried about how Lin Zifu would keep accounts now.
"There's something I need to ask you, how do you keep accounts with so many people at that time."
He's been thinking about these questions today, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels a headache.
Lin Zifu had already thought about it, and said with a smile: "I have already thought about it, a village has an account book, I have divided the colors and written the names of each household, and when the time comes, the people who sell the medicine only need to say, I am a blue family in the mountain village, I can directly follow the spike and open the account book to see who the blue family is, what is it called, how many times I have sold the medicine, and how much silver is in total." ”
It's good to sort them separately next to each other, and you won't be mistaken when the time comes.
After thinking about it, he added: "When the time comes, they will sell the medicine, and I will remember how much they have sold, and then let them put their fingerprints on it, so that they will not be mistaken, and the account book can't be changed anyway." ”
He Dayou felt that Lin Zifu's head was too much, and he racked his brains in vain to think about it, it turned out that Lin Zifu's method was so good.
couldn't help but give Lin Zifu a thumbs up and praised: "Clever, I have to praise you for being smart, so that you won't be mistaken, and it's more convenient, whoever is from that village, you can just take out the account book and keep the account, so you can be busy." ”
Lin Zifu smiled, she also imitated other people's methods in this way, and it can only be said that there are too many people with easy brains.
Aunt Ying knew that He Dayou and Lin Zifu were tired, and when the two of them went back, Aunt Ying had already prepared a hungry meal, and she just left He Dayou to eat tonight.
Lin Zifu boiled hot water to soak her feet after eating, and there are still a lot of walks today, and when she encounters some villages on the mountainside, she can only walk up.
It's hard to say.
Aunt Ying looked at Lin Zifu distressedly: "If you run to the village today, you won't go tomorrow, you see that you have blisters on your feet." ”
She glanced at it distressedly, and really felt that Lin Zifu was working too hard.
Lin Zifu didn't feel how hard it was, and rubbed her feet: "I just can't help it, Uncle Dayou has followed me so far, he is also very hard, and I have to trouble him tomorrow." ”
There's no way, the most familiar one around here is Uncle Otomo, and it's not okay to change anyone.
This is the most helpless.
So I can only let Uncle Otomo work hard for two days.
Aunt Ying is now worried that there will be no place to dry it: "Zifu, I'm thinking now, you have to buy hundreds of kilograms of honeysuckle every day, how do you dry so many flowers, I'm worried, what if it rains." ”
It's not like last year, there aren't many herbs, so don't worry.
Counting so many villages, even if a family picks two catties, it will cost hundreds of catties.
Lin Zifu felt that this was a problem, and she only thought about drying it in the sun before.
Aunt Ying mentioned this matter and it had to be resolved, after all, it would be too late to make amends.
The price of honeysuckle will not be lower than that of wheat or wild chrysanthemum purchased at that time, and the price of good quality honeysuckle will be very good.
In this way, the loss will definitely not be able to afford to lose.
So this problem has to be solved.
After hesitating for a moment, he comforted Aunt Ying: "You don't have to worry about this, I will find a way to solve it, in fact, the best way is to dry, but I have never dried herbs and have little experience, so I will think about how to build an oven tomorrow, and then I will pick some wild grass back and try to dry it." ”
It would be much easier if it were dried.
Drying and drying at the same time can be regarded as a two-handed preparation.
Aunt Ying was relieved at this time.
She didn't want to see Lin Zifu fail.
Lin Zifu was thinking about how to build an oven all night, and early the next morning, He Dayou came with an ox cart.
Aunt Ying had already prepared dry food and water, and went out to tell Lin Zifu to be careful.
Lin Zifu felt that the only thing that was fortunate was that the people in the vicinity were not averse to making money, especially those who vaguely knew that the people in Hejia Village were collecting medicine to make money.
All of them are envious, and now that the opportunity is sent to the door, what reason is there not to agree, it is a fool not to agree.
So they all scrambled to agree, and they were all obedient.
This made Lin Zifu and He Dayou a lot less troublesome.
Naturally, there is one thing that Lin Zifu does not deny, that is, many people believe in He Dayou for the sake of He Dayou's face and are grateful to He Dayou.
He Dayou drove the ox cart and was in a very good mood: "Now you are at ease." ”
