Chapter 10: Gratitude

Mai Dong has eight and a half catties and thirty-four dollars, six dollars for wild chrysanthemums, and four dollars for motherwort, a total of forty-four dollars, which is still very good overall.

In the following days, I didn't have to worry about making money and going hungry.

Mrs. Zhou wanted her to die so much, and wanted her to go down to Zhou Mingqi to bury her early, but she didn't die, not only did she not die, but she also lived well.

This life is hers now, and no one else wants her life except for herself.

Ye Beichen calculated and said: "Angelica will come out with forty-four cents." ”

Angelica hurriedly went behind the counter to get the money.

Lin Zifu pondered how to ask the price of concocted herbs.

After hesitating for a moment, he boldly asked, "Doctor Night has something to ask, I don't know how much the concocted wheat dong costs a catty." ”

The wheat dong is about two and a half catties of dry, one pound of wet wheat is sun-dried, and the raw wheat is four cents a catty, and if it is sun-dried, it costs ten cents, including the wages of the concoction, at least fifteen cents and one pound to be cost-effective.

The price of various herbs is well known to Ye Beichen.

Don't think about it at all: "Don't you feel surprised that the concocted wheat Dong is twenty-five dollars a catty, generally speaking, the most important level is the concoction level, after all, everyone can pick herbs this year, but not everyone can concoct herbs." ”

This is very reasonable, Lin Zifu thought about it carefully and felt that what Ye Beichen said was very reasonable.

This Mai Dong really has to be concocted, and in order to make money, all the herbs must be concocted, get the forty-four yuan sent by Angelica, and carefully wrap it in a cloth bag and put it in the back basket.

The silver was obtained, and everything that should be asked was asked clearly, Aunt Ying was still waiting in the alley, and hurriedly picked up the basket and said goodbye: "Thank you, Doctor Ye and Brother Angelica." ”

Ye Beichen looked at the back of Lin Zifu leaving, and sighed slightly: "Be polite to the guests in the future, no matter what the purpose of the family, you must remember to be kind and make money." ”

He usually comes from Angelica's temperament, but fortunately, he happened to go out today and heard the conversation between Lin Zifu and Angelica, otherwise he would have missed it......

Angelica also knew that he was wrong, and even he felt miserable about Lin Zifu's life experience: "I remember what Gongzi said, Miss Lin's life experience just now was too miserable, why should she help the widow if she didn't get married anyway." ”

As long as you are widowed, it is impossible to marry a good family in the future, Lin Zifu is only thirteen years old, and she is not yet an adult, and a girl who is very young will be ruined in her life.

Fang Cai Ye Beichen also saw that Lin Zifu didn't want to mention the affairs of her husband's family, maybe there was something strange in it.

"Take care of her more in the future, if the herbs are good, you can recommend them to the medicine halls in several nearby towns." It was a rare time for him to be warm-hearted and take the initiative to help a stranger.

Let's say that Lin Zifu happily walked out of the medicine hall, walked into the alley and found Aunt Ying, took off the back basket and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, guess how much money we made last day." ”

After Lin Zifu left, Aunt Ying was nervous, worried that Lin Zifu would not be able to handle all the things alone, and she was also worried that Lin Zifu was nervous and afraid.

Seeing that Lin Zifu had a smile on her face, she was also in a good mood, and guessed that things were going well: "About twenty yuan?" ”

She wasn't sure, because she had been busy all day yesterday, and she expected it to be about fifteen cents.

Lin Zifu smiled, bent down and took out the cloth bag in the back basket and handed it to Aunt Ying: "Mother-in-law, count how many copper coins there are." ”

Aunt Ying took the cloth bag, more than forty yuan is still a bit heavy, and when you weigh it, you know that it is more than twenty yuan.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Is there more than thirty texts?" ”

Lin Zifu shook her head, picked up the basket and said, "Mother-in-law count." ”

Aunt Ying is also very happy in her heart, but she doesn't like to show it on her face, but if you look closely, you can still see the corners of Aunt Ying's mouth slightly hooked.

Honestly counted all the copper coins inside, more than forty coins were tied to the rope, Aunt Ying took the copper coins out of the cloth bag and smiled: "I didn't expect to sell so much, yesterday I was still thinking that fifteen yuan is enough, at least we won't be starved to death, but I definitely didn't expect to be able to sell forty-four yuan." ”

Wealth should not be exposed, although more than forty dollars are not a lot, but I am still worried about being seen by people with a heart.

Aunt Ying put the copper coin into the cloth bag, and then stuffed the cloth bag into Lin Zifu's arms: "In the future, you will be in charge of our family." ”

This sentence of our family made Lin Zifu's heart instantly fill, Aunt Ying is also her family, this world is not lonely.

The two walked out of the alley with the basket on their backs, Lin Zifu thought that she would definitely not enter the city in the next few days, and the food at home had to be prepared, so she discussed with Aunt Ying, and the two went to the rice shop to buy five catties of miscellaneous grains, and then went to the town to buy a catty of meat, and the forty-four yuan was gone.

Putting the meat and miscellaneous grains into the back basket, Lin Zifu was extremely satisfied with the heavy back basket.

"Mother-in-law, I heard that the night doctor said that the concocted herbs are more expensive, we will concoct the herbs at home tomorrow, and when the herbs are ready in about ten days, we will come to the town to sell them, and then buy some good food to go back." She actually doesn't like to eat coarse grains, but the conditions at home are too poor, it would be good to fill her stomach with coarse grains, and there is still the right to pick and choose.

Along the way, the two of them switched backpacks, and it was only noon when they arrived at the village.

During this season, the people in the village can only eat two meals a day, and only eat three meals when the farming season is busy.

But Lin Zifu doesn't pay attention to these, three meals a day is the right thing.

As soon as they got home, the two of them were busy cooking.

There is not much meat in a pound at all, Aunt Ying cut off the fat and boiled the oil, and finally even the oil residue was scooped into the crockpot, and there was not much lean meat left, according to Lin Zifu's proposal, this lean meat was used to boil porridge, wild vegetables and lean meat and multigrain porridge, not to mention that it tasted very good.

Aunt Liao didn't know where she heard that Lin Zifu's mother-in-law and grandson had returned, and she happily came to visit the door.

It just so happened that Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying were going out.

tasted the sweetness of selling herbs, and Aunt Ying and Lin Zifu were full of energy.

Aunt Liao leaned against the door frame and joked about Lin Zifu: "Did Zifu see Doctor Ye when she went to town today?" ”

Lin Zifu didn't understand why Aunt Liao asked like this, the key is that Aunt Liao's smile feels like a conspiracy no matter how you look at it.

If you don't answer, you can't do it, and you smiled faintly: "I saw Doctor Night." I wondered why Aunt Liao asked this question.

Aunt Liao grinned, and mysteriously approached Lin Zifu: "Then do you have any ideas?" The night doctor is a good person, and he looks handsome, he has been saving lives and helping the injured since he came to the town two years ago, and the slightly poorer people can also pay on credit, but they can't get the kind of people who can't get the money, and they can also see the disease for free, so it can be said that the night doctor is the most popular boss in the town. ”

is so respected, if she didn't know Aunt Liao's personality, she would have thought that Doctor Ye paid someone to praise her.
