Aunt Hua felt very guilty about Xiao Ling'er in her heart, of course, she hurried to show it as soon as she had the opportunity, for fear that Aunt Cui would not believe it.

Xiao Ling'er hooked the corners of her lips, "That's true, I learned a little bit of pharmacology since I was a child, and it's a pity that the wild herbs on the mountain are wasted, but they are picked and concocted into medicines and sold to the pharmacy in the county, although they don't make much money, but they can also subsidize some families." ”

"But we don't know how to make medicines." Aunt Cui still has some concerns.

"If Aunt Cui also wants to come to collect medicine, just give me the original product that has been picked, I will deal with it, and I will tell you about the work of collecting medicine. It's just that the price of the original product is not as good as the concocted one, and the money can only be obtained after it is sold to the county seat. ”

"This ......"

"Little lady, I'll follow you." Aunt Cui was still hesitating, but Aunt Hua had already opened her mouth, "Even if it is the original, it can be sold for two or three wen per catty, and it is always idle and has nothing to do, and it is already good to be able to subsidize the family." And I believe in the little lady, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get this money, but I don't know if it will trouble you. ”

"Of course not, it's very simple to collect medicine, you look at Changsheng, you didn't know anything at first, but now you can go up the mountain to collect medicine alone."

"That's the best, of course." Aunt Hua said, and looked at Aunt Cui on the side again, "Aunt Cui, can't you trust the little lady and still can't trust me?" This medicine can earn a few pennies a day, isn't it better than being idle at home? You forgot, the little lady was destroyed the day before yesterday, but she still thinks about other people in our village and sends us things, this intention, I'm just afraid that it will trouble her. ”

This is good, Xiao Ling'er chuckled secretly, in addition to Changsheng, she seems to have such a trust as Aunt Hua. She just said a word, but asked Aunt Hua to say four or five words for her.

Aunt Cui was said by Aunt Hua in a few words, and she simply stopped hesitating, "Oh, Huarong, what are you talking about, I didn't say I didn't believe the little lady, didn't I just ask a few more words, since this is the case, being idle is also idle, and I will also go up the mountain with the little lady." ”

Aunt Cui said, and looked at Xiao Ling'er again, "Little lady, in fact, it's not just me, there are a few other families who also want to come, but Qiulan said that this matter is not very reliable, so they asked me to take a look at the situation first." ”

"Hmph, Qiulan's words are ten sentences, and you can't listen to nine of them." Li Huarong had just suffered Liang Qiulan's loss, and she was still a little angry in her heart, "She also told us before that the people of the Mei family are stingy and insidious, you see that the little lady is not, there are some good things but they all think of us." And this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, it is the little lady who cares about everyone living in Anding Village, so that we also have the opportunity to make money together, if they don't believe it, they don't come, but don't see us have a good head and red eyes there. ”

With Aunt Hua singing blackface on the side, Xiao Ling'er's red face is much easier to sing, "Aunt Cui, in fact, I can't make a lot of money, but I'm afraid that you can subsidize your family during the day, as for whether you are willing to do it, it depends on you." ”

Xiao Ling'er didn't plan to show how much she wanted them to go, lest it make people think that she really wanted to do something.

Sure enough, once she said something like leaving, Aunt Cui was afraid that she would hesitate any longer, so Xiao Ling'er changed her mind, "Okay, little lady, I'm too worried, you see I even brought a basket today, just thinking about going up the mountain with you to herbal medicine." As for the money earned, since Hua Rong and the little lady have said that they will definitely be able to get it back, it doesn't hurt to wait for a few days. ”

"Then let's get ready and go up the mountain."

Xiao Ling'er was not afraid that they would not come at all, originally she and Changsheng had been collecting medicine for a few months, and everyone saw the money they earned. If they don't blush in their hearts, they won't ask with hope, and it is inevitable that they will stay.

And just then, she needed them too.

She must earn enough money to buy seedlings before autumn and winter as soon as possible, and it is impossible to rely on her and Changsheng alone, the more people come, the more medicinal grassland products she can get to concoct.

When this was just starting, she didn't plan to be a profiteer like the second young master of the Mei family, and she gave them the herbs they picked from Aunt Hua and Aunt Cui according to the price purchased by Mu Shishi's pharmacy, without a penny lower.

She just needs these originals, not to mention that the price after concocting them is a few cents higher than the original, and the difference in price can make her a lot of money, and this time should be about the same.

Everyone has to earn, and naturally they can retain people.

Only two days later, in addition to Aunt Hua and Aunt Cui, several more women from the village came, all of whom said that they would follow her to collect medicine, and some also brought their children with them.

Originally, most of the people in the village made a living by farming and raising livestock, and they could spare a lot of time during the day, but now they can follow Xiao Ling'er up the mountain to collect medicine, although there is no big money, but she will go to the county seat to sell medicine once every other month, and she can also harvest more than ten or twenty Wen, so she is naturally willing to follow her.

I have to say that it is still very useful to send out those impatiens, after all, people like Liang Qiulan in the village are a minority, most of them are quite simple-minded, a little care can make them remember the favor, and they are willing to believe Xiao Ling'er.

Some of them were a little bolder, and they also asked Xiao Ling'er about her planting efforts, and wanted to make room for the vacant land at home, and tried to plant some of them.

Seeing that it is about to enter autumn, in the past few months, although the previous medicine field has been destroyed, Xiao Ling'er's savings have obviously increased, she calculates the silver taels, she should be able to pay the deposit of Baicaotang, and the rest of them, when it comes to winter, the harvest from the mountain plus the medicine field should be enough.

Changsheng had just sent a batch of medicines and exchanged for some silver from the county seat, and Xiao Ling'er took the money to divide the rest of the village.

Counting the time, the next time in the county seat, she should go to Baicaotang to hand over the deposit to the shopkeeper for the seedling list.

The time was also coincidental, Xiao Ling'er just came out of the yard, and saw Aunt Hua and Aunt Cui busy in the medicine field not far away.

Xiao Ling'er walked over and called them, Aunt Cui looked at it, and greeted her in a few steps, but it was not at all like the estrangement when she first entered the Mei family's old house, "Little lady, did you come back after changing the medicine?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ling'er handed over the divided silver to them, "Aunt Hua, you can help me hand over the other ones to others, there is a list of herbs when they are handed over to me, you are right, see if there is a shortage, you can tell me again." ”

"Eh, how can there be less, we all believe in you." Aunt Cui took the silver with a smile, "I was also dizzy and thought so much at the beginning, but now that I have been following the little lady for a few months, the family's subsidies have increased a lot, and I haven't been able to thank the little lady properly." ”

Aunt Cui said, picked some vegetables from the vegetable field on the side, and stuffed them into Xiao Ling'er's hand, "Little lady, you take these back, but don't refuse, this is a little caution in our family, thank you so much for this time." ”

"Aunt Cui, how embarrassing is this, you earned all this money yourself."

"Little lady, you can take it." Aunt Hua also walked over on the side, and took some fresh vegetables in her hand, "You know we don't have anything else to give, that's all there is to it, if you still want to refuse, we can't help it." ”

Aunt Hua is actually very kind, probably because she has always wanted to make up for the previous things, and in the past few months, she will ask Da Mao to come to the house to help, or send some things, and she is a little embarrassed to take Xiao Ling'er left and right.

But I really couldn't refuse, so I had to take it, thinking that it would be good to go back and let Changsheng choose some to send back.

But where did I think about it, as soon as I put it down, the voice over there sounded again, "Little lady, my aunt's things have been accepted, so it seems that I can't refuse this." ”

Xiao Ling'er looked towards the voice, Zhou Shen was walking towards the medicine field, his hands covered behind his back, and he didn't know what he was holding.

"Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

"I wanted to go to your house to look for you, but I just went out and saw you coming here, what a coincidence, I also have something to give you."

"You didn't go with us to collect medicine, why did you suddenly want to send something?" Zhou Shen has taken care of their family on weekdays, since they met, where the family needs to be repaired, he always shows up as soon as possible, Xiao Ling'er doesn't know how to thank him, but he sent something over.

"Since it's a good thing to give away, you first see if you like it or not, if you don't like it, I'll take it back. It's just that there's no chance of reversal. Zhou Shen mysteriously hung his appetite before he stretched out his hand to the front, revealing what was in his hand.

"It's ......"

Xiao Ling'er looked at Zhou Shen's hand, it turned out to be a delicate and small dagger, and the hilt of the sword was still wrapped in gray rabbit skin, and it was heroic when he looked at it. "You did this?"

"Well, last time you gave my mother the medicine, I went back and boiled the medicinal soup, my mother said that my sleep was much better, let me find a chance to thank you. It just so happened that I went to the county seat a few days ago to repair my hunting clip, so I gave you this dagger. I thought that you can not only defend yourself on weekdays, but also have something to use if you go up the mountain to collect medicine and touch weeds and wild branches. ”

Xiao Ling'er looked at the dagger, the hilt of the sword took a lot of effort, it was very easy to hold, and when she pulled it out, the sword was sharp, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

I can't even say a word of rejection in my mouth when I like this like.

She found that sometimes, Brother Zhou really understood her mind very well, compared to the others, she really wanted such a dagger, it was just right to wear on her waist, and it didn't take up space.

Zhou Shen looked at Xiao Ling'er's expression, and knew that she liked it very much, so she pretended to have a face on the floor, and gestured to withdraw her hand, "Little lady, I haven't taken it after being stunned for so long, if I don't like it, I'll take it back." ”

"Eh, how can there be a reason to take back the gifts given." Xiao Ling'er took it and lowered her body with a smile, "Then Ling'er, thank you Brother Zhou." ”
