Mu Shishi shrugged her shoulders, as if she was also thinking about this problem, a pair of apricot eyes were bent, and she straightened her long skirt with some folds, and the smile on her face was much brighter, "Because we are very similar." ”

"Like?" Lin Zi knew the boss's temperament, and he spoke very freely, "Where is it like, boss, you are an old girl who has reached the age of ten and is not worried about getting married, what about her, she is only thirteen and has already married a wife, I can't see where it looks." ”

"You're getting more and more presumptuous." The account book in Mu Shishi's hand was rolled up and slapped on Lin Zi's head, her jaw was raised, thinking about the calm and firm appearance of the little girl when she talked to her just now, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Because the two of us are very smart." I've never heard of it, smart people like to deal with smart people. ”

"Uh......" Lin Zi touched his head, understanding his boss's habit of making jokes, and wrinkled his nose and lowered his head to play with the herbs.

Mu Shishi squinted her eyes and simply sat aside and pretended to sleep for a while, "falling off the door", if she heard it right, she listened to these four words come out of the little girl's mouth.

A girl who got married at the age of thirteen doesn't plan to rely on the husband's family of the richest man in the county, but she comes to a self-imposed door, which is really interesting, and she really doesn't mind dealing with her more.

……

After coming out of Mu Shishi's pharmacy, Xiao Ling'er took Changsheng straight to the place where the seedlings were sold at the end of the street, in fact, Mu Shishi didn't say it, she also had this plan.

The Mei family's old courtyard is a little broken, but fortunately, there is a lot of open space in the whole yard, and it is indeed possible to plant some family-grown herbs when cleaning up, compared to the wild herbs scattered outside, it is much easier to harvest and sell.

She carefully remembered the purchase price of the pharmacy, and then looked at the medicines sold in the medicine cabinet.

As she thought, those that are easy to get in the middle medicine cabinet should also sell well, most of them are suitable for this season, for dispelling wind and heat dissipation, treating wind and cold, or repelling insects and detoxification, etc., the demand for this kind should be much greater.

Xiao Ling'er had a general idea in her heart, and chose some seedlings that were easy to grow. Now that spring has been in place for some time, I am afraid that it is a little too late to cultivate seeds. Therefore, Xiao Linger bought seedlings, which were a little more expensive, but the harvest was much faster. And like the acute nepeta, they are all relatively easy to grow herbs, the requirements for the environment are not high, the planting density is large, the planting time is not long, the income comes relatively quickly, and it is not necessary to wait for a few years to be planted like other varieties. For them now, it is a very suitable herb to grow.

As a result, they went home much earlier than expected.

When she got home, Granny Su was still busy with dinner, and she didn't think that they would arrive home early, so she stopped the stove on the side and greeted her, "How is it?" Can today's medicine be sold? ”

"Sold and sold!" Changsheng hurriedly responded first, "Mother-in-law, we have all sold it, and we have sold it for more than twenty yuan." ”

"Sold so much?" Granny Su was still a little surprised, "If I embroider insoles on weekdays and work hard to produce a pair in one night, I can only sell one or two pennies, but this time I can sell twenty wen?" ”

"It's not, even the owner of the pharmacy praised Sister Ling'er for being powerful, of course it's different from us." When it comes to his little lady, Changsheng can't wait to praise all the good words in his head.

Xiao Ling'er also took a few steps closer and said carefully, "We sold a total of twenty-four wen, and when we came back, we went to buy some seedlings, and it cost ten wen, and the rest are here." ”

Xiao Ling'er handed all the money in her hand to Granny Su, "Mother-in-law, I'll leave the money to you to manage." ”

"This ...... How does this work? The girl is the head of the family. ”

"Mother-in-law, I said it all, we are a family, where is there a master and a servant." Xiao Ling'er helped Granny Su put away the money, "Besides, I'm not very good at cooking, and you are all responsible for the food expenses in this house, so it's best to leave it to you for safekeeping." ”

She said two sentences left and right, and Granny Su finally stopped refusing and accepted the money, "Then I'll save it first, if the girl is of any use, just come and get it." ”

"Got it." Xiao Ling'er lied at the right time, this is the truth, in her heart, she really regards Granny Su and Changsheng as her relatives. As she spoke, she also went to the stove to help Granny Su prepare for the evening's meal. "This is the first amount of money we have earned, although it is not much, but I believe that life will get better and better."

The medicines that are sold now are all picked in the first few days, and in the past few days, my mother-in-law and Changsheng have also picked some herbs and are still being concocted. More than ten yuan, three people are still enough to eat for a few days. After waiting for a while, the new medicine will come out, and you can also go to Mu Shishi to exchange it for some money.

With these, if they want to live, they should not be so poor that they can't open the pot.

Granny Su accepted the money in her hand, and smiled a lot happily, "I didn't expect the idea of selling medicine to be really good, Ling'er, I will take Changsheng to pick more from tomorrow, but it's hard for you to deal with it." ”

"It's not hard to deal with it, it's just ......" Xiao Ling'er still had thoughts in her heart, "It's just that it's good to go up the mountain to collect medicine to maintain a little income, but it's not a long-term solution after all." ”

Although the mountain is wide and continuous, there are many kinds of herbs, but after all, the wild herbs are not easy to pick, they are all loosely grown everywhere, if you are lucky, you can find a good pile of herbs, and if you are unlucky, you may not see some that can be used after climbing for a while. After all, there are only a few herbs, and you can't just rely on picking them to sit and eat them.

What's more, just like Mu Shishi said, the wild herbs are so rare that they are hard to find, and the ones that are easy to find cannot be sold for a price.

That's why, from the very beginning, she had the idea of buying seeds.

"But don't worry, mother-in-law, I bought some seeds, and we're going to renovate the open space in this yard just in time for them to be planted. In the past few months, we have relied on going up the mountain to collect medicine, part of which is used to fill the family, and if the rest is enough, we will repair the wall of this courtyard, which is our home after all, and it has to be like it. After a few months of summer and autumn, when the time comes, it will be much better to make medicines in batches and sell them. ”

Xiao Ling'er had already made a plan in her heart, for the time being, she would plant these herbs that would come quickly, and when they were slowly stable, she could choose some herbs with a higher purchase price for a longer time.

Anyway, she is only thirteen years old now, and the one in the Mei family in the county town doesn't even know if she is awake, even if she does, a concubine who has never met Chongxi will not take it to heart if she thinks about it.

The time she should have is.

Changsheng listened to her words, and his little face also smiled, and he counted blindly with his fingers, "We have sold more than 20 of these herbs, if in a few months, these planted batches are sold for several catties, wouldn't it be that we don't need to have a meal of steamed bread and porridge, we can buy vegetables and eat them." ”

"You, you know how to eat." Granny Su nodded her nose, but the smile on her face was doting, "It's important to finish the work at hand first." ”

"No, he's not even knowing what to think of what he wants to eat." Xiao Ling'er sneered, "What does it mean to buy vegetables and steamed buns when you have money, you can't think about it more." You can rest assured that you will live forever, and in the future, I will definitely let us live a day like those rich businessmen, eating meat and eating splendid life! ”

"Haha, yes! If you want to eat meat, I believe Sister Ling'er will definitely be able to! ”

For a while, the big guys laughed along, looking forward to the future life in their minds.

Anyway, this courtyard, which was originally deserted and difficult to see cooking smoke, began to slowly take on its appearance with the arrival of Xiao Ling'er.

After more than three months, it passed briskly, and it was carried out step by step according to Xiao Ling'er's plan.

She and Changsheng renovated the soil on both sides of the stone road in the yard and planted seedlings. After all, Granny Su was old, so she handed over the work of watering and fertilizing the herbs every day to her mother-in-law, and she continued to go up the mountain to collect herbs with Changsheng.

After a month and a half, he asked Changsheng to send the processed medicine to Boss Mu's pharmacy in the county seat in exchange for some money, although it was not too much, but after all, the life was still very fulfilling.

Xiao Ling'er remembers that when she was interning in the past, she also went to the countryside every day, and the big guys always complained that they had a lot of work and were tired. Now that this work has become necessary for her life to support, she will not even complain, she is willing to deal with these herbs, and sometimes she has to wait for dark to go back.

Today too, Xiao Ling'er was lucky, climbed more to the mountainside, and touched a lot of good-growing wheat winter, so he simply picked more, but he didn't expect that the baskets he brought couldn't be loaded, Changsheng's eyes were sharp, and he was numb and planned to go back with the baskets that had been filled, and then came with empty baskets, Xiao Ling'er stayed on the mountainside and waited for the side.

Now carelessly, more than three months have passed in this Southern Dynasty, and sometimes the days pass really quickly.

It was already summer, and the weather was very hot during the day, so Xiao Ling'er picked some and walked into the mountains, looking for a cool place to rest. But before he could sit down and rest for a while, he sighed and moved.

This forest is deep and few people come, Xiao Ling'er got up and walked into the depths of the forest, wanting to find out.

"Rabbit?"

I saw that the movement was the sound of a rabbit grinding on the ground, and it had been fluttering under the tree, and it didn't run when I saw her.

Xiao Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then raised her feet and walked a few steps forward, but suddenly a burst of footsteps rushed towards her, accompanied by an eager voice, "Girl, be careful!" ”

"Ah" sounded, and before Xiao Ling'er could react, she was directly thrown to the ground by the owner of the voice.

There was another "click", and I don't know what it was, and the person who threw her down snorted above her head, as if in pain.
