Xi Ningyu, who returned to the old mansion, had dinner and was just about to enter the room, when he saw Uncle Wen walking in with a smile on his face with two and a half small back baskets.

"Miss, do you think these two are appropriate? If it's bigger, I'll make a smaller one for you to play with tomorrow. Uncle Wen said like a child.

Xi Ningyu raised his eyes and looked at the two back baskets in Uncle Wen's hands, they were really small. The fine and dense bamboo strips are tightly interwoven into a column, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The two bamboo straps were intimately wound with rags a few times, which was specially added by Xue's mother for fear of wearing out her shoulders.

Even the raw edges of the Hsinchu strips have been polished, but such a small back basket shows that Uncle Wen's family pays more attention to the original owner, less than half of their height and a foot wide. If you don't hit your legs on your back, you must really walk on your back and it won't get in the way.

Looking at these two basket mats, Ning Yu's heart felt warm, and then he thought about how Mother Xue usually took care of herself. Although they don't know that this body has changed souls, the sincerity of that person is real. After getting along for so many days, Xi Ningyu's heart gradually accepted these two old men.

"It's really troublesome Uncle Wen, I like these two backpacks tightly! You see, I don't usually help much. It's still troublesome, you and Mother Xue can take care of it. Xi Ningyu took the two baskets and thanked Uncle Wen with a smile.

"Miss, don't say that, just like these two baskets. As for what trouble, don't say it again, I think the eldest lady took care of our family when she was there, and we didn't have time to repay it, so how could we say that we disliked you. In the future, Miss, as long as you can see my old Wentou's craftsmanship, you can say what you need to make up. Uncle Wen said sincerely.

Xi Ningyu looked at such a real Uncle Wen and was also warm-hearted, so he thanked him again. Then he remembered that since the basket was made so quickly, it was time to pick herbs tomorrow, so he asked, "Uncle Wen, do you have a small hoe or shovel that can be used at home?" ”

"Miss, what do you want all this for? What kind of work do you have at home, you say that I will do it tomorrow, how can I ask you to worry about this. If you want to take care of some flowers and plants in the yard, then I will go out and buy some seeds, and when you come back, you can point out a piece of land and I will plant it for you. Those hoes and shovels can't be used by you, what if you hurt yourself! "Uncle Wen didn't dare to let Xi Ningyu do all the work.

"No, I don't want those grown-ups to farm the land. I just want something that's small and easy to carry. It's like the one I saw the kids next door playing with in their hands the other day. Xi Ningyu saw that Uncle Wen was so nervous about herself, and said to Uncle Wen with amusement and emotion.

"You say the kids play with the mud? That's right. But what do you want this to do, Miss? Uncle Wen asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, I went out with the fish today and saw some flowers growing beautifully, so I wanted to dig them up another day."

"In this case, then I'll go and get it for you. Wait. Uncle Wen saw that there was nothing important, so he agreed and turned around and went out to give it to Xi Ningyu.

After breakfast early the next morning, Xi Ningyu and Yu'er went out with a small basket to collect medicine.

"Miss, can we take the medicine to the drug delivery shop?" Yu'er asked.

"Of course not, we have to make medicine first. That is to say, to the extent that the collected medicine can be used in different methods to enter the prescription, the pharmacy will collect it at a high price. Although some of the medicinal herbs that have just been picked cannot be accepted by the pharmacy, the price is much lower, so it is still worth it if it is concocted. Xi Ningyu patiently popularized some simple knowledge of medicine collection for the fish......

Along the way, the fish kept asking questions about medicine collection and medicine like a hundred thousand whys, and Xi Ningyu was also very patient to explain them one by one.

When they arrived at the foot of Bishan Mountain, Xi Ningyu and the fish collected some dandelions, artemisia annua, and motherwort that can be seen everywhere along the way. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he began to dig He Shou Wu, and after teaching the fish He Shou Wu to identify and collect, Xi Ningyu planned to go to the forest to collect Xinyi flowers and mulberry parasites. These two herbs are also more commonly used and are easy to use.

When she went out today, Xi Ningyu specially asked Yu'er to prepare a small set of men's clothes, in order to collect some medicinal materials from high places to facilitate his movements. So when Xi Ningyu arrived at the place where these two medicinal materials were collected, he rolled up his sleeves and started.

Xi Ningyu and Yu'er, who had been busy for more than two hours, had harvested a lot of medicinal materials, so they saw that it was already past noon. The two who didn't go out with lunch were hungry, so they packed up the herbs and tools they had collected and prepared to go home.

Mother Xue, who was sitting by the window sewing clothes, looked up and saw Xi Ningyu and Yu'er walking in in dust. Hurriedly threw down the work in his hand and walked out quickly and asked, "Oh, my miss, what's the matter with you?" Didn't you fall again! ”

"No, no, Mother Xue. With me looking at Miss, how could I make Miss fall. The fish hurriedly said. I'm afraid that Mother Xue is complaining again!

"What about this...... What are you ...... in this body," Xue's mother asked again.

The fish, who didn't know whether to say it or not, turned his head to look at Xi Ningyu.

"It's okay, we've dug up some herbs outside. Constantly digging in the soil, there may not be a little dust, Mother Xue don't worry. Xi Ningyu felt that there was nothing to hide, so she said honestly.

"Digging medicine? Miss, why are you digging for medicine, isn't it possible that you are uncomfortable there? Mother Xue looked at Xi Ningyu anxiously, reached out to touch her head, and pulled her around again, looking up and down.

"Mother Xue!" Xi Ningyu stood still and screamed, preventing herself from continuing to be fiddling in circles like a spinning top.

"Mother Xue, let's talk in the house, I am a little tired from digging the medicine with the fish for a long time, and we will put down these medicinal materials first." Xi Ningyu did feel a little tired, so he hurriedly led the person to the west wing where he lived. As I walked, I thought that this body really needed to be well conditioned. I feel that I can't hold it up when I do such a small thing, and I really can't accept it.

"Very well, Miss. Give me this basket quickly, and I'll help you get it to the stove and put it away first. Seeing that Xi Ningyu's face showed fatigue, Mother Xue quickly reached out and took the back basket.

"No, just put it in the yard. After a while, the fish and I will rest for a while, and there is still work to be done. Mother Xue, you can help me greet Uncle Wen. Ask him to prepare some rice wine for me, and I'll use it later. Xi Ningyu said.

"I have rice wine at home, but I don't know if it's enough, I'll go and see how much is left. Miss, then you can rest in the house first, and I'll go cook. Let the fish serve you, freshen up, and you'll be fine in a minute......." Mother Xue finished speaking, and turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Xi Ningyu stretched out and then instructed the fish to lie down too, and when he ate, he would be busy with those medicinal materials. I am afraid that it will take two busy days to deal with the medicinal materials in two baskets, and it will take five or six days to send them to the pharmacy to exchange silver.

Xi Ningyu thought in her heart, there was finally a way out where she could make money, although Xi Ningyu was tired, she was still happy in her heart, and suddenly came to this strange world, completely unfamiliar with everything. Xi Ningyu was still a little frightened and helpless in her heart, and now that she had found a way to support herself, she could finally make her feel more at ease.

After lying down for about half an hour, Mother Xue came in with a few plates of vegetables and a small pot of brown rice and set them up to beckon Xi Ningyu and the fish to use. By the way, inform Xi Ningyu that there is probably more than a pound of rice wine left at home, if it is not enough, then let Uncle Wen go and sell some wine again.

Xi Ningyu thought that the He Shou Wu dug up in the future would still be concocted, so he decided to let Uncle Wen go and sell some rice wine back for use. There are also tools for drying medicine, and Uncle Wen is also asked to help weave them, after all, Xi Ningyu is still very good at seeing Uncle Wen's craftsmanship. There is also some hard work when drying medicine, and Uncle Wen has to help him, so Xi Ningyu told Mother Xue together.

Please tell Uncle Wen from Mother Xue, because Xi Ningyu will be busy for a while, and she won't have time to say it again. It just so happened that Uncle Wen hadn't come back from selling the basket today, so he could only tell Mother Xue first.

"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?" When Xue's mother saw that what she said was all the work that her family man did, she immediately asked Xi Ningyu a little anxiously, for fear that she would not be able to help anything.

"Naturally, you are indispensable, Mother Xue, and I am afraid that you will be too busy for a while." Xi Ningyu blushed slightly embarrassed and tugged at Mother Xue's sleeve and said.

When Mother Xue heard that she could help, she immediately smiled and agreed. In the end, he really feels sorry for Xi Ningyu's old family, although he has already taken back the documents for selling himself, he is not considered a house slave. But I don't have the idea of hiding at all, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to help if I have something.

So Xi Ningyu, who had rested, took Yu'er and Mother Xue and began to pick up these herbs. The drying of the scattered drying, the cutting of the cutting section, the preparation of He Shou Wu is more troublesome, first to slice and then mix well with rice wine and place it for three hours, and then it has to be steamed for a few hours.

Then it is dried and semi-dried, and then the juice is collected and continued to be steamed until it is blackened, and then dried or dried before it can be sold. Therefore, Xi Ningyu plans to slice all the He Shou Wu dug up today, mix it well with rice wine, and then continue the other processing steps tomorrow.

While the three of them were busy concocting medicinal materials, Uncle Wen also sold out the back basket and came back. After Mother Xue explained Xi Ningyu's words to Uncle Wen one by one, Uncle Wen immediately came to the spirit again. After counting some change and holding the furniture for wine, he went out to sell wine, saying that he was buying some materials for weaving bamboo dustpans and sieves.
