Spring planting, summer busy, autumn harvest, winter hiding, sassy autumn breeze and coolness, in a blink of an eye, Qin Miaomiao has been here for almost a year, Qin Miaomiao lying on the bed thinking about the situation of a small year, with a lot of emotion, not to mention the harvest, no hair, from penniless, to debt, it only took a year to be smaller.

Qin Miaomiao felt that she couldn't continue to develop like this, and it was time to perform her real skills.

In early winter, the nights became longer and the dawn was much later.

The sky had just turned white, Qin Miaomiao didn't eat breakfast, and carried a wooden shovel to the medicine field that had been cleared.

The turf turned yellow after a few frosts, and the morning dew formed thin ice crystals, which were wet and slippery to step on.

Fortunately, the medicine field that has been cultivated is near my home, and I can walk to it in a few steps. If it was farther away, Qin Miaomiao's trouser legs would be soaked.

Qin Miaomiao walked carefully, and the bean bag didn't care about the rampage of thirty-seven twenty-one, and ran with Huan'er, it has now grown into a big dog, although the food is almost the same, but it is much stronger than Qin Miaomiao.

Now that she goes out, Qin Miaomiao doesn't dare to hold the rope anymore, and she can be dragged by a hard pull of the bean bag.

When I came to the ground, the three herbs could already be clearly distinguished, and the easternmost ridges were planted with Niu Xi.

Astragalus and Angelica dahurica also grow very well, and they can harvest a lot next summer.

Niu Xi takes the root fruit, so use a wooden shovel to dig up all the soil from the roots, and try to remove them whole.

These roots and fruits vary in size and depth, so digging them up is really laborious.

Qin Miaomiao kept digging one-third of the ridge in the morning.

Sitting on the ground and resting, looking at the receipt of the goods in this bamboo basket, Qin Miaomiao felt that she didn't seem to be so tired.

It's just that her fingers are full of dirt, because she is happy when she digs for medicinal herbs, and she doesn't care if it's dirty or not.

Nearly half an acre of Niu Xi Qin Miao Miao was dug up in the dark.

Qin Miaomiao, who was tired and paralyzed, lay motionless on the bed, her arms were as weak as noodles and couldn't lift them.

Lying on the bed and looking at the cool moonlight outside the window, listening to her stomach growling, she really can't afford to cook, so she should lose weight if she is hungry.

Doubao is also very well-behaved today, knowing that Qin Miaomiao is tired and will not cook for himself, so he is self-reliant and swallows a hare and two chickadees alone.

At this time, it curled up at the foot of the bed with satisfaction, Qin Miaomiao did not fall asleep, it snored first, Qin Miaomiao felt that she might be the caretaker of the bean bag.

No one will accept fresh medicinal herbs when they are sold, so Qin Miaomiao has to be rough-processed.

Carry the cows that were dug home basket by basket to the river and rinse them clean.

Earlier, a few wooden shelves were erected, and thin rattan sticks were placed on the top rows, and the washed ox Xi was dried and the water was neatly placed on the wooden rack to wait for their skin to dry slightly, and when it was half dry, they had to take a kitchen knife and cut it into thin and consistent pieces of about two centimeters.

Since there is no money to sell small guillotines that specialize in cutting medicine, I can only use kitchen knives.

When she first started cutting, Qin Miaomiao didn't feel laborious, but after a while, Qin Miaomiao gradually felt pain in her hands.

Niu Xi is not soft and brittle, so it takes a lot of force to hold the knife to cut it, and after a long time, the outside of the tiger's mouth and index finger are blistered.

Qin Miaomiao put the knife down and blew the blister on her hand, as soon as she pressed the blister, her heart hurt, and there was no way to continue cutting, but she had to take advantage of the good weather to dry the ox knee as soon as possible, otherwise no one would want it if it was moldy when it was put together.

Qin Miaomiao went to the house to find a sewing needle, picked up the blisters on the outside of the tiger's mouth and index finger one by one, squeezed out the water, and found a strip of cloth to wrap tightly around the handle of the knife, so that it would not be so sharp. After doing this, Qin Miaomiao started to work again, but the blisters that were picked up were still very painful, Qin Miaomiao cut and cut tears and rolled in the circles of her eyes, it was so difficult, life was really not as easy as she imagined.

At this time, she misses her life in the modern era, loves her parents, and those second-hand friends who care about her, although there are also unhappy times, but at least she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but here she has nothing, relatives don't have, friends don't, money has to endure hardships and contribute to earn a copper plate and a copper plate.

Finally gritted his teeth and cut all the Niu Xi, the next thing seemed to be easier, Niu Xi had to be naturally air-dried and could not be exposed to the sun, so Qin Miaomiao built a pergola on the wooden frame again, and turned it over every hour so that they could be evenly air-dried.

It took out to air dry during the day, and at night she had to take it back to the house before the dew fell, and after seven days of tossing and turning, the rough processing of her first batch of medicinal herbs was finally completed.

Although I have suffered a lot, I have gained a lot, and I have half a bag of leg-high cloth, and I should have about 20 catties when I pick it up.

Qin Miaomiao pasted a pot of coarse noodle cakes the night before, gave three bean buns, and ate two by herself. The rest is packed in a bag of dry food and kept to take to the town to make dry food tomorrow.

Carrying more than 20 catties of medicinal herbs, Qin Miaomiao followed the first batch of villagers to the town.

As soon as the sky turned white, he began to hurry, there was no light debt on the long way, and at the end of the more than ten miles of the road, Qin Miaomiao felt that the cloth bag on his shoulders was pressed against his back like a mountain. It was obviously a cold weather in early winter, and Qin Miaomiao was sweating profusely when she walked to the town, and the clothes on her back were covered with sweat.

Sit on the pillar at the gate of the city and rest your breath, and then go to the medicine shop later.

Qin Miaomiao did not go directly to the medicinal herb shop where Su Mu took her, but first went to a few other shops to ask the price, and after inquiring about the price, Qin Miaomiao stood on the street and secretly rejoiced, fortunately she went to a few more, the price given by each shop varied, the highest was one or two silver catties, and a few medicinal herb shops saw her young age and wanted to bluff her into making a fortune, so they only gave her seven or eight dollars of silver, which was a few dollars of silver.

But Qin Miaomiao still didn't sell it in a hurry, because the price was high and she was afraid of fooling her on the catties, they were all the scales of the medicinal herb shop, and if she counted one catty or two catties, she would lose more than she gained, so she not only asked the price but also let the medicinal herb shop weigh the catties and taels.

In the end, she had a bottom in her heart, and several families weighed out the number of eighteen and a half catties.

After asking all the questions, she ran to the medicinal herb shop where Su Mu had taken her.

Today, the shop is a little busy, Xiao Hei and the shopkeeper are busy, seeing that there are many people in the house, Qin Miaomiao found a corner and stood aside.

Now that the world is in turmoil, she is afraid that she will sell so much silver and be targeted.

After Xiao Hei and the shopkeeper were busy for a while, there was no one else in the shop, and Qin Miaomiao stepped forward to talk: "The shopkeeper, do you accept medicinal materials?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Miaomiao, and nodded without hesitation: "Accept, what medicinal herbs are you selling." ”

Qin Miaomiao took the cloth bag in front of her and opened the mouth of the cloth bag: "Niu Xi, it's all dried." ”

The shopkeeper was obviously a little surprised to see Qin Miaomiao take out so much at once, reached out and grabbed a handful and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and tasted a little, and seemed to be very satisfied: "Pour it in the dustpan, I'll see if it's the same up and down?" Doping. ”

Qin Miaomiao poured all the cows in the cloth bag into the big dustpan according to her words, and the shopkeeper squatted down and looked up and down quite satisfied: "It's good, it's the same up and down, why did you dig so much at once?" ”

Qin Miaomiao smiled, didn't answer directly, but asked the price: "Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to collect a catty?" ”

The shopkeeper was still looking through the inspection, and muttered for a while: "The condition is very good, and they are all newly dug, there is no adulteration of old goods, I will give you one or two pounds, this is a high price." ”

Listening to the shopkeeper's offer, Qin Miaomiao's heart jumped up, it was really a high price, but she didn't show it on her face, but was a little embarrassed: "Shopkeeper, there are other shops to give me one or two, and I haven't sold it yet." ”

The shopkeeper stood up, clapped his palms, and preached in a posture: "Girl, you don't know when you're young, give you a high price and give you a little less catties, and you will suffer in the end. ”

Qin Miaomiao had already thought of this, so she asked rhetorically: "Boss, won't you fool me too." ”

The shopkeeper frowned, a little unhappy because of Qin Miaomiao's suspicion of him: "Eh, you can inquire, my Lin medicine box is the most honest in business, and I never do anything to fool people with a lack of catties and pounds!" ”

"Okay, I also believe that Shopkeeper Lin will sell it to you." Qin Miaomiao readily agreed.

After weighing the pounds and calculating the accounts, Lin Yao paid the silver to Qin Miaomiao, and did not forget to advise: "Little girl, don't put a piece of silver in a pocket when you come alone, this money is a lot, the world is not peaceful, it is open, and you will not be robbed of all the bad people when you meet outside." ”

Qin Miaomiao felt that what the forest medicine box said was reasonable, so she divided the silver into a few parts and put it on her body, thanked her and left the medicine shop.

Qin Miaomiao, who was walking on the street, felt that she was as light as a swallow, and she was really light as if she was about to fly.

Make money! Qin Miaomiao decided to consume it, took out the silver of three dollars and five cents, bought ten catties of japonica rice, ten catties of brown rice, and oil and salt, and solved the problem of grain first.

When passing by the bacon shop, her saliva was so aroused by the smell of the store that she couldn't move, so she went into the store and wrapped two sauce elbows and paid the silver.

I wanted to spend all the money, but I felt that there was nothing missing for the time being, but I was actually a little reluctant. After all, this silver is not easy to earn.

Waiting for everyone to go back together, Qin Miaomiao felt that the way back didn't seem to be so tired, and sure enough, silver can make people strong, especially the silver that has been rewarded for her hard work.

Back at the foot of the mountain, Qin Miaomiao's footsteps were a little hesitant, and after a pause, she still walked towards Su Mu's courtyard.

Today, Su Mu is at home, covered with a rabbit fur short quilt lying on a rocking chair in the yard to read a book, the teapot next to him is still steaming, reading a book and tasting tea is not comfortable.

Seeing Qin Miaomiao's big bags and small bags coming in, there was a moment of surprise, and before Qin Miaomiao could speak, he spoke first: "The big bags and small bags have escaped?" ”
