Chapter 15: Bringing the Herbs

Aunt Ying is full of fighting spirit, as long as she can make money, it doesn't matter how hard she is, she dug up medicine in the mountains for a day yesterday, but she got up early in the morning to prepare to enter the mountain again.

The wheat in the mountains grows very well, no one has dug it for many years, and yesterday I walked along the foot of the mountain and found several small groves.

Lin Zifu went to Aunt Liao's house to borrow a ladder.

I've been in the mountains all day today, and it's not safe for Mai Dong to be in the yard, so it's better to put it on the roof for peace of mind.

Although the people in the village are very kind, she has not been in contact with everyone, knowing people and knowing their faces, but not their hearts, this is the result of her and Aunt Ying's hard work, but she doesn't want Mai Dong to be stolen.

Aunt Liao's family lives not far away, and most of the houses in the village have no yards, but there is a spacious yard dam at the door of every house, which is to facilitate the drying of grain.

Aunt Liao was feeding the chickens and ducks with a scoop of chaff in the yard.

Lin Zifu counted them, and raised a dozen of them in total.

It just so happened that Aunt Liao also saw Lin Zifu and said with a smile: "Zifu got up so early." ”

"Aunt Liao has raised so many chickens and ducks, she can lay a lot of eggs every day." She was a little envious, thinking that if she waited until her family had money, she would also buy some chickens and ducks to raise, so that she would have eggs to eat.

Aunt Liao put down the scoop in her hand, moved a stool from under the eaves and let Lin Zifu sit, and said with a smile: "There is no food to feed, it takes two days to feed such a scoop of chaff, and I can pick up five or six eggs a day, you see I have raised more than a dozen." ”

Chickens and ducks are not diligent if they don't eat well and lay eggs, which is also something she is worried about, but her family is poor, and even the bran is reluctant to feed the chickens and ducks.

Lin Zifu was a little embarrassed, what Aunt Liao said was also right, chickens and ducks are not diligent if they don't eat well, how can they be diligent if they don't eat eggs well, how can they just rely on stocking every day to eat that little thing.

However, this is not something she can control, so she immediately said the purpose of coming: "I came here to borrow a ladder from my aunt's house, and now that the weather is good, I want to put the herbs on the roof to dry." ”

The real purpose of putting the roof to dry is certainly not to be said.

When Aunt Liao heard this, she quickly took out the bamboo ladder from the house, and then leaned the bamboo ladder against the corner of the wall and said, "How much medicine did I collect on the mountain yesterday." ”

She was very curious, is it really profitable for Lin Zifu to go into the mountains to dig medicine? If she makes money, can she dig with her?

Lin Zifu didn't hide it from Aunt Liao: "It is estimated that there are more than ten catties after washing, and there are not a few catties after drying." ”

Someone in the village also thought about selling medicine before, but the night doctor in the town didn't accept it at all, and he didn't ask Lin Zifu for details the day before yesterday, but now he suddenly wanted to ask and explained: "Why did the night doctor suddenly buy your herbs?" ”

First, it is because most of the people in the village do not know medicinal herbs, and secondly, before the night doctor came to the town, there was no medicine hall in the town for several years.

After the night doctor came, he also bought herbs at first, but gradually stopped accepting them.

Lin Zifu smiled and said: "Doctor Ye is a good person, I guess he looks at me pitiful, and he didn't buy herbs at first, and then I said that I would concoct herbs, so I reluctantly accepted what I carried, so the next herbs have to be concocted and sent, is my aunt interested in picking herbs?" If you want to pick herbs, you can come with me, although Doctor Night doesn't buy unprepared herbs, but I can buy them. ”

Aunt Liao was a little moved when she heard this, this season happened to be the time of the farming, and the family did not have any income.

"How much is a pound of wheat dong you dug that day?"

Lin Zifu will definitely not take advantage of Aunt Liao, and the medicine hall will buy as much as it is, explaining: "The raw wheat Dongye doctor buys four yuan a catty, wild chrysanthemum flowers are three yuan, and motherwort and perilla are the same two yuan." ”

At present, she knows the price of these herbs, and she can't talk about anything else.

Aunt Liao was really moved, and after hearing the price, she was particularly moved, Mai Dong is not cheap for four catties, and it costs twenty yuan for digging five catties a day.

It just so happens that there is an empty way today, but she also encourages: "This way you will not suffer." ”

Doctor Ye bought four dollars a catty, and Lin Zifu still bought it at the original price, isn't it not profitable.

Lin Zifu looked at Aunt Liao very sincerely and said, "I didn't buy your medicine and sell it directly to Doctor Night, I also said just now that Doctor Night wants to concoct the herbs, so I will sell them to Doctor Night after concocting them, and the price of the concocted herbs will be a little more expensive." ”

If you want to say that the two families in this village are the best for her, it must be Aunt Liao's family and the village chief's family.

Since she was going to buy Aunt Liao's herbs, she felt that it was necessary to ask the village chief's house.

Aunt Liao is fine today, and Lin Zifu said it so clearly, she stood up and said: "I'll go to the mountains with you to dig herbs, I can earn a little bit, it's almost winter, and I can't make money when I want to." ”

After making an appointment with Aunt Liao, she moved the ladder home first and dried the wheat to the roof before going to the village chief's house.

Tian Guixiang happened to be free, and after hearing Lin Zifu's suggestion, she agreed very simply.

She thinks the same as Aunt Liao, she will make as much money as she can if she can.

So this is four people entering the mountain.

Aunt Ying is very supportive of Lin Zifu's decision, you must know how to repay your kindness, Aunt Liao and Tian Guixiang take good care of them very well, and being able to take care of them can be regarded as repaying their kindness.

Tian Guixiang and Aunt Liao chatted while walking, and from time to time they would pull Aunt Ying to chat a few words, which was also lively.

is still in the direction of digging Mai Dong yesterday, in fact, for Aunt Liao and Tian Guixiang, digging Mai Dong is not the most profitable, even if she wants to make money, she will not pit acquaintances.

So I explained it to the two, but Tian Guixiang and Aunt Liao didn't care.

Tian Guixiang put the hoe on the ground and said, "I'm still willing to follow you to dig wheat winter, so you can concoct a little better, and besides, I know that you don't have enough dustpans." ”

After she finished speaking, she smiled, after all, her father-in-law was still weaving a dustpan for Lin Zifu, if she picked herbs such as motherwort, even if Lin Zifu bought it, there would be no place to put it.

Aunt Liao felt that everyone was lively and said, "I will also dig Maidong today." ”

Opinions were agreed, and several people began to dig up.

Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying are also experienced, and the two of them dug so much wheat in the mountains, so after picking off the wheat winter, they planted the wheat winter back very skillfully, which looked at Tian Guixiang and Aunt Liao on the side.

Aunt Liao was squatting on the ground picking wheat winter, glanced at Lin Zifu and wondered, "Why are you planting it back?" ”

She thought it was very troublesome, and this thing was not planted, so why bothered so much.

Lin Zifu explained patiently: "After this planting went back, a heavy rain came back to life, and we can dig it again next year." ”

She thinks about sustainable development, and maybe she will have to rely on digging drugs to make a living in the future, leaving a way back for herself.
