004 Eat a closed door
Xiao Ling'er wasn't joking, she had been thinking about making money all day.
Even if Changsheng didn't get sick, the broken silver in her hand wouldn't last long after the house was repaired, and sooner or later she would have to find some way to get money.
And selling medicine was the only thing she could think of herself.
Her major is Chinese herbal medicine, and when she was in college, she went to the countryside with her teacher for an internship, and she knew how to identify herbs and some methods of preparation. Now, it's time to put her professionalism to use. What's more, with such a continuous mountain back, some of them are medicinal treasures, and it would be a pity not to use them.
Xiao Ling'er's plan proceeded quickly, and she asked Granny Su to prepare the basket and sickle and shovel she needed to collect medicine that night.
The excitement of making money made her directly ignore the crumbling roof and dilapidated environment, and simply cleaned the house to make it almost habitable and rested early, and even slept very soundly.
Changsheng's symptoms have improved a lot, and there is almost no need for anyone to watch by the bedside, Granny Su prepared dry food for him to make lunch, and went up the mountain with Xiao Ling'er early in the morning.
Granny Su obviously didn't know much about this aspect, so she followed Xiao Ling'er and did exactly what she said.
"Mother-in-law, this Mianyin Chen will pick all the grass, just dig a root of the bone skin, be careful, if you don't understand, ask me."
Xiao Ling'er introduced her to several more common herbs as she walked, and now it was spring, and the herbs were definitely not picked as much as summer and autumn, and they were hard to find. But fortunately, the mountains behind the house have complex terrain and fertile soil, some sunny land, and some are damp and cold, which is already very suitable for the growth of various herbs.
At this time, things like Mianyin Chen, Digupi Clover, etc., are still relatively easy to find, and they can be regarded as herbs with more uses.
Xiao Ling'er took Granny Su to find some one by one.
"You don't have to think about picking too much, this basket is not enough, as long as you can see some herbs, you can look back and see what their prices are, and you can decide which ones to pick at that time."
"Well, just do as the girl says."
"However, such as Yin Chenhao trifolium to clear heat and dispel wind, this spring is easy to be infected with wind cold, there should be more places to use, and you might as well pick more if you can look at it."
Xiao Ling'er has a weighing rod in her heart, and she is most afraid of being blind in doing things, especially business. Now the most important thing is to be able to find out the market of herbal medicine, otherwise it will be a waste of effort to pick a bunch of unprofitable medicines.
After all, what she thought in her heart was not to make some money to get through like Granny Su, she wanted to make a fortune. The kind of life that can even be wiped out because of poverty, she must not be contaminated again.
For a whole day, Xiao Ling'er and Su Manqing didn't rest much on the mountain, and when the sun went down, the two baskets on their backs were already full.
Xiao Ling'er's heart blossomed, sure enough, the truth of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft is not wrong at all, not to mention that there are mountains and rivers here, it seems that in the future, there is no need to worry about it at all.
But what they didn't expect was that when they got home, Changsheng had already gotten up and even prepared dinner for them.
Granny Su put down the basket and hurriedly took a few steps towards Changsheng's trot, "Changsheng, why are you up?" ”
"Mother-in-law, I'm fine, you see." Changsheng jumped on the ground twice, and patted his straight chest again, for fear that Granny Su would not believe his words.
Yesterday, Changsheng touched that stubble, Xiao Ling'er didn't have any other thoughts, and when she looked at him again, she had beautiful eyebrows and apricot eyes, she looked very delicate, her well-behaved and clever appearance was sunny and cute, and she had two little tiger teeth when she laughed, which was very attractive. Although my face is still a little bad, I am already a lot more energetic than yesterday.
Xiao Ling'er also walked towards Changsheng with a smile, "That's right, Changsheng, it's only been a day, and you have recovered so much, I don't know that my mother-in-law died of worry yesterday." ”
Changsheng listened to the words and looked at her, his peach blossom eyes were bent, the little tiger teeth were exposed again, and he shouted obediently, "Little lady, thank you for saving me." ”
"It's all a family, what's polite, listen to Granny Su, you are one year younger than me, let's call me Sister Ling'er." Xiao Ling'er also smiled and narrowed her eyes, this is good, she just corrected the title of Aunt Xiao in Granny Su's place, there is a little lady here, who can know that she is only thirteen years old.
"Well, Sister Ling'er!" Changsheng also seemed to prefer this name, and changed it all at once.
Maybe it's because she didn't have as much thought as Granny Su when she was young, maybe it was because she saved his life, Changsheng was not like Granny Su, so she was very close to her when they first met, "Sister Ling'er, you must be hungry, I made something to eat, and I'll wait for you to come back!" ”
It is true that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, when she was as old as Changsheng, she was still running around at home, but he got up and started to work after his illness got better.
When Xiao Ling'er went back to the room to put her things, she still saw that her room had been cleaned up by Changsheng, and she already had the appearance of being able to live in people.
This kid, just a little kindness, he is already eager to repay it all.
Although the dinner is very simple, that is, the steamed steamed buns with boiled porridge do not even have side dishes, but Xiao Ling'er has already eaten with peace of mind, although Granny Su and Changsheng are not related to the original body, but compared to the Xiao family in Yongxing Village, they are more sincere to her.
Lian Changsheng's voice was as crisp as spring water, and it was also very comfortable to listen to, "Sister Ling'er, I heard from my mother-in-law that you went up the mountain to collect medicine today, how are you doing?" ”
"It's good." When the topic came to medicinal herbs, Xiao Ling'er's words were like opening the gates, "There are a lot of usable herbs on that mountain, and my mother-in-law and I have picked some of them, if the road of selling medicines works, it should be enough to live with some money." ”
She thought about it, and continued, "But I think these herbs should not be needed by the people in the village, and I will have to go to the pharmacy in the nearby town to have a look, there should be a need there, but I am not very familiar with this place." ”
"I'm familiar with it!" As soon as Xiao Ling'er's words fell, Changsheng's voice immediately came out, "Sister Ling'er, I'll go sell medicine tomorrow!" ”
"You? No, you're not well yet. ”
"No, I'm already half better today, and I'll sleep again at night to make sure I'm fine." Changsheng patted his chest, "You and your mother-in-law are tired for a day, I am the only man in the family, and I should naturally do all this strength." ”
"Poof, how old are you, you're a man." Xiao Ling'er was really amused by Changsheng's little adult appearance, not to mention that he had actually lived for twenty years, looking at him was like looking at a child, even if he was in this body now, he was a year older than Changsheng and married a wife, and he was the youngest person in this courtyard.
Changsheng blushed, "That...... Then I'm also a man, not to mention that my sister and mother-in-law don't still have to collect medicine, as a member of this family, I should always do something. ”
Granny Su on the side looked at it, patted Changsheng's shoulder, and also stepped forward, "Ling'er, just let Changsheng go, it's okay, this kid has thick skin, major and minor illnesses have always been well quickly, and it's better to sweat twice than stay at home." ”
"Okay then." Granny Su spoke, and Xiao Ling'er naturally didn't hesitate anymore, after all, she was definitely not as familiar with the few towns near here as Changsheng, "That Changsheng, I'll write the names of these herbs at night...... Well, to tell you, you must remember that if you can, it is best to ask what herbs are lacking on the market today, and which ones are better. Or make a note of the location of those pharmacies, and I'll be able to go there next time. ”
Xiao Ling'er actually wanted to go on her own, but in the end, the top priority was to continue to find out about the mountain, and the action at both ends always saved a lot of time.
By the way, she also found a very big problem, she originally planned to write down the names of those herbs one by one, but she suddenly reacted and turned out to be ...... Illiterate!
Also, women in ancient times thought they were talentless, not to mention that people like the Xiao family would not be able to send their original bodies to some school to get in touch with these things of reading and writing. She herself could make out a little bit of the ancient characters here, after all, there were some familiar ones, but it was impossible to write them down.
It's just now, if the herbal medicine business can be done in the future, I'm afraid that not being able to read and write will be a big obstacle.
Of course, it was still a bit far to think about these at this time, Xiao Ling'er shrugged her shoulders, forget it, you can only remember it first, and then find an opportunity to learn literacy later.
Fortunately, Changsheng is still very smart, although he is as illiterate as Xiao Ling'er, but his memory is very good, she only taught it once or twice, and she was able to smoothly write down the names of those herbs and distinguish them, but I didn't expect this kid to have such a talent, which made Xiao Ling'er put down a lot of heart.
The next day, she still got up early, but she didn't expect Changsheng to go out.
Smart, clever, diligent and studious, Xiao Ling'er feels really lucky to have a helper like Changsheng by her side.
It's a pity that sometimes, luck still can't be eaten.
Changsheng went out early in the morning, until the sun set, Xiao Ling'er and Granny Su both collected medicine and returned home, and waited left and right to finally watch Changsheng's figure appear at the gate of the courtyard.
"How's it going?" Xiao Ling'er stood up suddenly, but as soon as she walked in front of Changsheng, she looked at him with a depressed face, and her brows frowned, "What's the matter, isn't the situation good?" ”
"Whoa." Changsheng stretched a small face, his lips pursed, and he took off the medicine basket on his back and placed it in front of Xiao Ling'er and Granny Su.
I saw a basket full of herbs when I went out, and when I came back, I was only a little shallow on the surface, but the rest was intact.
