Chapter 16 Selling Medicines
The plant Xie Yusi was holding in his hand didn't look anything peculiar, if it weren't for the sudden sound of this voice in his head, Xie Yusi might have thought it for a weed, and wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Chen Junfeng ran to his side and immediately dragged him up, patted him with the soil on his buttocks, and said with a smile: "Why are you so careless, the vines on this mountain always grow in the grass, and if you don't pay attention carefully, you will trip over." ”
After saying that, he was afraid that Xie Yusi would fall and hurt, so he gave Xie Yusi a branch full of red wild fruits in his hand, in his eyes Xie Yusi was more squeamish, squeamish in appearance, and a little squeamish, but in the village he still liked to be with Xie Yusi.
Although Xie Yusi seems to have become a little different in the past few days, he likes this kind of Xie Yusi more, and it also makes him feel a different feeling, he feels that Xie Yusi and Chenjiacun are all different, and he can't say that feeling.
Xie Yusi rubbed his buttocks, the stones on the ground were of different sizes, some of them had some sharp edges and corners, and they were still a little painful.
He didn't take the bunch of fruits, but looked at the astragalus without blinking, listening to those outsiders say that the astragalus seems to be born in a place, he found one here, maybe there is one here!
Xie Yusi looked around and found that it was indeed the case, all of them were astragalus membranaceus, how many of them had to be dug up?
Thinking of this, Xie Yusi was very excited, he didn't know what the price of Chinese medicine was now, and he didn't know these things in his previous life, maybe he could still describe ginseng as precious, but he really didn't know about astragalus.
But anyway, it should be worth more than honeysuckle and wheat winter, right? It's wild, and no one has ever dug it before, and it grows so well and there are so many of them, it should sell for a lot of money.
Seeing that Chen Junfeng was still stupid to move forward, Xie Yusi immediately grabbed him, and without saying much, he asked him to dig the astragalus on the ground with him.
Chen Junfeng didn't know this thing, and asked Xie Yusi what it was? Can it be sold for money?
Xie Yusi was very happy to dig, and when he heard him ask himself, he replied: "This is a good thing, let's dig it up and sell it to the pharmacy, which makes more money than others picking honeysuckle." ”
When Chen Junfeng heard this, he immediately asked, "What is this?" Sisi, how do you know? ”
Xie Yusi couldn't tell the matter of the golden finger, so he could only reply perfunctorily: "This is called astragalus, which I accidentally saw in the pharmacy last time, and I heard the old Chinese medicine doctor say that it can be used to treat diseases, and their pharmacy collects things." ”
After getting the explanation, Chen Junfeng didn't think much about it, children are easier to deceive, and after hearing Xie Yusi's words, he believed it, and heard that this thing could be sold for money, so he also dug it up hard.
Astragalus grows underground, and Xie Yu and Chen Junfeng, two children, can't afford to hold the port, but fortunately, Xie Yusi had the foresight to bring two small peck hooks from home, which are very light, and are used at home to dig some wild vegetables and other things.
Chen Junfeng has been healthy since he was a child, and he digs more and more energetically, and after a while, a bunch of long and short astragalus are piled up next to him, but Xie Yusi can't do it, and his hands are sore after digging for a while.
Don't look at the simplicity of digging astragalus, you will only know how laborious it is when you really do it.
Seeing that the two of them didn't go forward, Heipi was still sitting on the ground and digging things, and after looking at it for a while, he felt very strange, and ran to Xie Yusi to smell it, and then ran to Chen Junfeng and licked the astragalus.
Phew, it's unpalatable!
Then he shook his head, his tongue spit out a little, and his expression was very disgusted.
Xie Yusi couldn't help but smile when he saw it, just like that, he could think of a way to improve the conditions at home, the relatives and friends he cared about were all good, and he really liked this kind of life.
Seeing that the two of them had dug up a lot of astragalus, Xie Yusi immediately asked Chen Junfeng to stop.
He just wants to know if this thing makes money now, but he doesn't want the people in the village to know this secret, and if he digs up too much, it will be difficult to move it to the pharmacy quietly, and they will not be able to take it.
Chen Junfeng was still unsatisfied, digging and digging he still thought it was fun, until Xie Yu asked him to stop, he shook his arm, he was so happy to dig just now, he didn't notice that his hand was sore.
Xie Yusi looked at Chen Junfeng with some envy and jealousy, and comforted himself that it was okay, he was two years older than himself, and it was normal for him to be stronger than himself, and he would grow taller and stronger in a few years.
Chen Junfeng didn't know anything about all this, and after cleaning the yellow mud on the surface of the astragalus with Xie Yusi, the two happily moved their things home.
The astragalus was not placed in Chen Junfeng's house, and the two didn't want to expose this thing, so they chose the Xie family.
At this time, everyone was working in the fields, and they didn't meet anyone all the way back, the construction of Chenjia Village was quite regular, the houses were built together, distributed on both sides of the Huangni Road, but the fields at home were on the mountains behind the home, and some people even in other villages, which was very normal.
Only Chen Junfeng was just fine, and he came out of the room to get a firewood to boil water, but he saw the two of them and the astragalus in their hands.
But she didn't know that thing either, and thought that they went to the mountains to mess around, dug up the roots of this weed, and came back to live at home, so she didn't care about them, but just scolded Chen Junfeng again, telling him to be clean, don't fool around outside every day.
Xie Yusi knew that he was sarcastic when he heard this, if he was really the kid before, he might not really understand, but his soul is now in his twenties, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to pretend to be stupid and sweet on the surface.
So Chen Junfeng's mother could only see the two children smirking at her, and she felt bored when she scolded, so she entered the house.
Chen Junfeng still didn't understand why he was scolded again, but no matter how stupid he was, Bai Tian realized that as long as he was with Xie Yusi, the number of scoldings would skyrocket.
Why did his parents target Xie Yusi? In his eyes, Xie Yusi is the most well-behaved and beautiful one among so many children in the village, and sure enough, the mind of adults is different from that of children.
Xie Yusi patted him, didn't let him think about it much, and the two put the astragalus in the laundry pool behind Xie's house together.
At that time, every household in the countryside had a laundry pool, which should be regarded as one of the few things made entirely of cement, which was very convenient for soaking clothes and rubbing clothes on the other.
Xie Yusi was too short to put it enough, but fortunately, Chen Junfeng developed well, and put the things in the pool alone, Xie Yusi let him be some water, put the astragalus in it and soaked it, and it was easy to wash off the dirty things on the surface of the astragalus after a while.
Xie Yusi is not afraid of being discovered by Grandma Xie, Grandma Xie is not an eventful person, and may only think that Xie Yusi is messing around.
When I was a child, it wasn't just girls who liked to play at home, Xie Yusi also liked it.
At that time, he always picked some unknown weeds and some beautiful flowers next to his home, picked up some beautiful round stones and used them to put on plates, and he had a lot of fun alone.
Chen Junfeng doesn't play with these things, but he will catch some small shrimp and crabs and other things for him when he goes to play in the small ditch to enrich his dishes.
Probably when Grandma Xie came back, she would think that this was the ingredients collected by Xie Yusi again, Xie Yusi thought very optimistically.
Soon it was time for Grandma Xie to go home to make lunch, and Chen Junfeng's mother was also calling him home, and after the two played for a while, they made an appointment to take these astragalus to the pharmacy to sell them the next day, so they could rest assured as soon as possible.
Those astragalus were washed cleanly, and Xie Yusi even brushed them lightly with a brush, just to make it look good, hoping to sell it for a good price.
When Grandma Xie came back, she saw the astragalus piled up by them in the corner, she didn't know what it was, and asked Xie Yusi what it was, and after Xie Yusi was deceived, Grandma Xie didn't think much about it, just asked him not to play with something he didn't know, for fear of being poisonous.
The next morning, Xie Yusi and Chen Junfeng were ready, one of them carried a small bag, and put those astragalus in it, the weather was hot in summer, and the sun was poisonous, and those astragalus were a little dry after only one night, and they were a lot lighter, and they were not tired when they carried them separately.
I passed many houses along the way, and I didn't know what these two children were carrying, and I didn't say anything when I asked them, and some people kept trying to trick them, if it wasn't for Xie Yusi, Chen Junfeng would almost say it.
Fortunately, in the end, they arrived at the pharmacy safely, the owner of the pharmacy is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and the old Chinese medicine doctor who helped Xie Yusi see a doctor last time is a friend, this time the two happened to be discussing something together, Xie Yusi was far away, and he didn't hear clearly.
When he saw the two children come in, the shopkeeper thought that it was the same as before, and that the children had brought him some honeysuckle and the like, so he didn't let it go.
In fact, he didn't really lack these Chinese medicines, but he saw that some places in the mountains grew really well, and he always felt that the medicines coming in from other places had no taste, but there were too few local medicines.
It just so happened that he saw that these incense cars in the countryside had nothing to do, so he thought of such a method, let them pick up the medicine for him, although the money was not much, but it could also let those children taste some sweetness, and the medicine he collected could be used by himself when he was usually fine.
Xie Yusi entered the pharmacy very politely, Chen Junfeng also put down the bag with a big grin, and after greeting them, Xie Yusi said, "Grandpa, we are here to sell medicinal herbs." ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor who treated Xie Yusi last time still remembered Xie Yusi when he saw him, so he smiled and asked him if his illness was cured.
Xie Yusi replied obediently that the old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed the medicine well, and he would go home for a day, and the old Chinese medicine doctor who listened to it was very happy.
The shopkeeper didn't expect this old friend to know this child, and felt that this child was very cute, and he was very well-behaved, so he asked, "Little friend, what kind of medicine are you here to sell?" ”
Xie Yusi put down his bag and replied, "I'm here to sell astragalus." ”
