"What are you doing with these pepper seedlings?"

Gu Nansang was slightly stunned and raised his head in accordance with the sound.

I saw a man in a gray robe standing on a high path, his long hair tied up with a gray cloth band, his facial features were handsome, and his eyes were faint. He had a small bamboo basket hanging from his left shoulder, and a small hoe in his right hand, which was empty, not like he had come to look for wild vegetables.

Gu Nansang was puzzled, when he heard Gu Dongqing say happily: "Doctor Zhong, you are also here." ”

He clasped his hands together and even made a gesture.

"Nansang, come and thank Dr. Zhong, last time you were seriously ill, it was Dr. Zhong who gave us medicine."

Gu Nansang came back to his senses at this time, and followed the appearance in his memory, and blessed the man.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhong."

Originally, I thought that the people who practiced medicine in ancient times were all old people, and I didn't want to be so young, this Dr. Zhong looked like he was about twenty years old.

"I don't know how to do medicine, so you don't have to call me a doctor." He shook his head and said lightly: "You haven't answered me yet, what are you doing with picking this chili pepper?" ”

Gu Nansang's heart jumped, and he had a bad premonition, but he still said: "The ancient book once said that you can use chili peppers in dishes, and the taste is very delicious. Today, my eldest brother and I went up the mountain to collect and transplant plants. Mr. Zhong kept asking, is it related to this pepper seedling? We thought that on this barren mountain, the pepper seedlings were wild, and if they were planted by the husband, we would return them in full. ”

She thought of these in an instant, after all, the people here don't eat chili peppers, listening to Xu's words, chili peppers and peppercorns are used in medicine, Zhong Shengwan's line of line, and he is a person who knows medical skills, obviously he went up the mountain to collect medicine. What's more, although Fangcai's pepper seedlings grow randomly, they are relatively concentrated, and if it is said that he planted them, it is not reluctant.

Gu Dongqing didn't expect this, when he heard the little sister say this, his heart jumped, and he wanted to apologize to Zhong Shengwan at the moment.

But seeing that Zhong Shengwan's face softened slightly, and his eyes were a lot calmer, he said: "It's not that I planted it, but I scattered some seeds at random in the early spring, if you want these, take them, and leave a few plants for me to use in medicine." ”

When he had finished speaking, he stayed no longer, and turned to leave.

"Mr. Zhong!" Gu Nansang chased after her, she was wearing an old bean-green short shirt, her face was radiant, her eyes were as bright as Qingxi, she stood still in front of Zhong Shengwan, and said prettyly: "Thank you Mr. Zhong for the gift." ”

Zhong Sheng snorted faintly, and seeing her standing in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?" ”

"Since you have chili seeds, I wonder if you know if there are any pepper trees nearby?" Gu Nansang didn't have the consciousness of avoiding suspicion at all, but cooked himself, and said with a smile: "Only when Sichuan pepper and chili pepper are added to the dish can the delicious taste be concocted." Today, my brother and I have been searching on the mountain for a long time to no avail, presumably God destined us to meet our husband here, so that we can know where the pepper tree is. ”

Gu Dongqing was a little shocked, but why was the little sister so bold, and looked at her with some concern, afraid that she would offend the doctor.

But unexpectedly, Zhong Shengwan didn't turn a blind eye, nor did he feel that Gu Nansang was rude, paused slightly, and said: "I live near here, and there are two pepper trees behind my house, but it's not yet the ripe season." ”

Gu Nansang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, this is already very good!" As long as the gentleman allows me to pick one or two when they are ripe, it will be wonderful. ”

"Hmm." The bell staggered by late.

Gu Nansang didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled, smiled, and after picking a bunch of maran heads with Gu Dongqing, he went home the same way.

Walking to the road, Gu Dongqing couldn't help but have some persuasion, he sighed and said: "Nansang, it's good that you don't have the same dull temperament as before, but today you are still a little bold." People with medical skills are somewhat arrogant, and it is not appropriate for us to pick other people's pepper seedlings, so how can we go to ask for peppercorns? ”

"Big brother, I don't think this Mr. Zhong is a bad person." Gu Nansang said with a smile: "You see, he is willing to dispense medicine for me, and he is also willing to give it away for free, which shows that he is cold-faced and warm-hearted." Nowadays, our family is surrounded by walls, and if we want to start a business, we sometimes have to be thick-skinned. In the future, if we have income, it is also feasible to give Mr. Zhong another one or two rewards. What do you think? ”

Gu Dongqing laughed: "Where did you learn to be so flamboyant." ”

When the two returned home, they happened to meet Xu Shi and Gu Beihuai busy in the yard, and there was a basket full of white radishes in the basket nearby.

Gu Nansang's eyes lit up, trotted over to help, and asked Xu: "Mother, where did these radishes come from?" ”

"Last year, it snowed and the radish harvest was good, so I kept it in the cellar." Xu Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Today, Beihuai said that he wanted to eat dried radish, and I just remembered it." ”

When the radish was carried into the kitchen, Gu Nansang poured out Ma Lan's head, took a small hoe and a back basket, and ran quickly to the backyard.

Gu Beihuai flattened his mouth and followed.

The soil in the backyard was quite fertile, Gu Nansang dug out small pits and carefully put the pepper seedlings in.

It is best to transplant pepper seedlings in the evening or on a cloudy day, but now that the sun has not fully come out, this small clearing is still in the shadows, and it is barely up to the mark. If you leave this pepper seedling for a day, I am afraid that it will all wither.

When Gu Nansang was digging in the back mountain, he dug up the pepper seedlings together with the soil, and the peppers at this time had begun to bear fruit, but they were still very small, so they were very fragile.

"Sister, what is this?" Gu Beihuai squatted beside her, opened his mouth coldly, and wanted to reach out to pick a small pepper.

Gu Nansang slapped his hand away and said, "Don't touch it, this is a chili pepper, it hurts to rub it in your eyes." ”

"What do you want chili for?" Gu Beihuai circled around her, chattering: "You don't wait for me to go out to play together, and you won't bring me green dates!" ”

Gu Nansang thought about it, and he really forgot about this stubble.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "What's so delicious about green dates, my sister will take you to eat cherries." ”

It was the beginning of April, when the cherries were ripe, and many of the cherries on the mountain were ripe, and many children in the village liked to eat them. It's just that now it's just in time for spring planting, the adults are busy going to the fields, and the older children in the family are also being caught to help, but they don't go up the mountain much.

Gu Nansang said this because at breakfast, he heard what Xu said, let Gu Dongqing go to Anping City tomorrow to buy some daily use at home and incense candles and paper money back, and soon it will be Qingming, and he will burn paper money for Gu Congzhi.

Gu Nansang wanted to do something for this poor family, and he also wanted to make hot sauce, but he still had some materials, and he was bound to not be able to find them in Lotus Village, so he had to follow Gu Dongqing to the city.

So I thought I would pick some cherries and bring them to the city tomorrow for a little money to buy some materials.

How did Gu Beihuai know the twists and turns in his third sister's stomach, she just thought that she felt sorry for herself, and promised to take him out to play, and to find delicious food, but she didn't know that she had already been treated as a free coolie.

Gu Nansang asked Gu Beihuai to pick some mulberry leaves, found a small basket by himself, and after lunch, the sister and brother turned around and went to the back mountain.

Xu stood at the door of the house and waited, seeing the two children coming back with a small basket, his heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Sang'er, your illness is just right, and you have been running out for the past two days, beware of the sun." ”

turned to look at Gu Beihuai again, stretched out his slender fingers, lightly poked his forehead, and said, "You naughty one, you know how to play with your sister." ”

Gu Beihuai stuck out his tongue, grabbed a handful of cherries from the basket, held them up with both hands, and smiled obediently: "Mother, eat cherries!" ”

Xu couldn't cry or laugh now, and it was not easy to train him again.

"Mother, eat, taste how it tastes, Ming'er, I'll follow my brother to the city and sell it for a good price!" Gu Nansang also accosted his younger brother to help him break the siege.

Xu Shiqi said: "You want to sell cherries? ”

She paused slightly, and then shook her head: "Sang'er, you want to do something for the family, and my mother knows that you have good intentions." But this wild cherry, in the village, it doesn't matter about money, it is all children's food, so what is the use of taking it to the city? Don't run in vain, you run around all day, and my mother feels distressed when she looks at it. ”

"It's okay, mother." Gu Nansang moved the cherries under the eaves of the ventilation, took fresh mulberry leaves to cover them, and said: "The family is not too busy in the past few days, I will only try to do this, if it is done, I still have big things to do!" ”

Xu Shi smiled: "You are young, where did you come from?" ”

But it didn't stop her anymore, and she was always tolerant of her daughter. I also thought in my heart, there are Dongqing on the left and right, and it is good to take Sang'er to the city for a long time, and there will be nothing wrong.

She naturally didn't know that Gu Nansang's child was thinking about doing business.

After dinner, Gu Nansang fetched half a bucket of well water in the courtyard, took an idle gourd scoop, went to the backyard where she lived, first watered the pepper seedlings, then watered the wild onions, and poured the remaining little on the rose seedlings transplanted back two days ago.

“…… Are you so favoritism? The system woke up, and saw Gu Nansang splashing out a little water from the bottom of the bucket, and couldn't help but make a sound.

Gu Nansang disagreed: "This flower can't be eaten." ”

She put down the bucket, clapped her hands and walked into the house, asking as she went, "Didn't you let me dig up thirty wild vegetables today, what about my reward?" ”

System: "Reward you for not having bad luck tomorrow." ”

“…… Depend on. Gu Nansang couldn't help but burst into foul language, compared his big middle finger in the dark, and sighed again: "What do you want!" ”

The system was speechless: "The richness of the reward is related to the difficulty of the task, you just dug up wild vegetables, it is difficult to still want ten thousand taels of gold." ”

"I found that you can't do anything else, but it's pretty good to complain about me." Gu Nansang rolled his eyes: "It's better to just tell you to complain about the system." ”

System: "...... You're not trying to sell that basket of cherries? ”

"Oh?" Gu Nansang crossed his feet, and became interested for a while: "What, you have a way?" ”

"There is a rich merchant in Anping City, it is the Meng family, and they have two daughters in their house, and they may like cherries. Tomorrow the family will go out to buy, you just need to look at it. The system said.

Gu Nansang was suspicious: "How do you know?" Finger pinching? ”

"Tomorrow is a temple fair in the city, there are many people on the street, and people in the city will naturally go out to buy."

Gu Nansang was skeptical, and then asked why the system knew about the things in Anping City, but she stopped talking, thinking that as a system, maybe some data was entered in advance, but it was not a human being, and it was not too intelligent.

Anyway, Gu Nansang couldn't help but start looking forward to tomorrow's trip.
