Chapter 61: The Rise of the Peasant Girl (7)
Xu Shulan carried it back and covered it with leaves.
"It's heavy on your back!" Xu Shulan looked at Chu Yin and smiled.
When I got home, Xu's father was sorting out firewood in the yard, which could also be exchanged for a little money, and Xu's mother was already cooking, obviously not thinking that her daughters would have a harvest.
"Mother, mother!" Xu Shulan and Xu Shumei rushed into the stove room, put the basket on their backs, lifted the leaves, and a few birds of pheasants and hares came into the eyes of Xu's mother.
She rushed out in a few steps, and slapped Chu Yin's arm with an excited palm: "Tang'er, how can you be so capable!" ”
"Who did you learn that weird thing from? Magu? ”
Ma Gu sometimes went into the mountains to hunt, but he didn't hear of any catches.
Chu Yin cut off: "It's not." ”
"I figured it out myself, mother, I want to drink chicken soup." Chu Yin was hungry for meat for a few days, and this body had not seen oil meat for a long time.
Ma Gu's funeral is simple, how simple it is, anyway, there is no meat to eat.
It is normal to see oil meat for funerals in this village.
Mother Xu said: "Okay, let's eat one, and sell the rest, so much, we can't eat them all." ”
After eating a pot of delicious chicken at noon, Chu Yin was confused by the fragrance.
"It's so delicious, mother."
Compared to her own cooking, it was really different!
Mother Xu looked at Chu Yin distressedly: "Didn't Ma Gu let you eat meat?" ”
Chu Yin smiled: "That's not it, there is food, it's just that I'm too greedy." ”
Ma Gu will also eat meat for the client?
It's impossible, it's all the client watching him eat, and of course he can't eat it himself several times a year.
"Daddy, you took these and sold them."
Chu Yin took the initiative to ask Xu's father to sell the remaining hares, pheasants and a few birds.
I want to eat tomorrow and catch it tomorrow.
Father Xu nodded, this pheasant and hare are big, they can be sold for a good price!
At noon, the sun was big and resting, Chu Yin just squinted for a while and began to read the medical book.
First of all, you have to know all kinds of medicinal materials, you have to know their characteristics and functions, how to distinguish them, there are instructions for planting various kinds of medicinal materials, and there are ways to prepare various medicinal materials.
Although it is a book of traditional Chinese medicine, the planting method taught above is very scientific, and the appearance of the medicinal materials is matched with pictures, and Chu Yin is fascinated by it.
Chu Yin got busy, reading medical books while taking the baby, and changing methods and places every day to catch some pheasants and hares, part of which was used to improve his life, and part of which was sold by Xu's father.
Father Xu was also surprised, his daughter could always harvest so much from the mountains, and the strange little traps were endless, like a trick!
When Chu Yin finished learning the knowledge of medicinal materials, it was the harvest season.
First, they helped to harvest the things in the Xu family's field, and the family went to Ma Gu's field to harvest what Ma Gu planted before his death.
After harvesting, Chu Yin sold the fields and houses left by Ma Gu together.
When he sold it, Ma Gu's only relatives jumped out and said that Chu Yin shouldn't buy it, Chu Yin directly dragged him to the county, and said it clearly in front of the official master, so that the other party was speechless.
All of them were sold for three taels of silver, and the house was not worth much, mainly because it was worth a little money, but the location was biased, and it was not worth much.
In this world, the purchasing power of three taels of silver is fine, a thousand wen is one tael, and one penny can buy a cake to eat.
Aunt Li saw that Chu Yin had sold all of these, her eyelids jumped, and she pulled Chu Yin and said, "Xu, it's not that my aunt said you, if you sell these, there will be no way back in the future." ”
Chu Yin knew that Aunt Li was kind, patted Aunt Li's hand and said, "Thank you aunt for your concern." ”
"By the way, auntie, you wait for me, I'll go back and bring you something."
It can be regarded as thanking Aunt Li and her husband for helping her with the funeral at that time, and they contributed the most.
Chu Yin went back and picked up a pheasant, which was caught yesterday, and Father Xu was busy before he had time to sell it, so he brought it over to thank Aunt Li.
When it came to the halfway point, Chu Yin thought that Aunt Li's son was a hard-working and willing worker, doing odd jobs in the county, and that there was a pharmacy next to her son's work.
turned back and brought a total of two chickens to Aunt Li.
Aunt Li was flattered: "Xu, what are you doing here?" ”
"I don't dare to take it!"
After some exaggerated pushing, Aunt Li finally took two chickens.
The reason why Chu Yin sold the land in Magu was that it was far away, and it was too troublesome to plant here, and second, it needed money.
After collecting the field, Chu Yin took his sisters up the mountain, on the one hand, he arranged some traps to catch some animals for Xu's father to sell, and on the other hand, he began to look for medicinal materials.
After the medicinal materials were found home, he taught Xu's mother to process the medicinal materials.
Fortunately, the time left for myself is still early, enough time to change my identity.
In the plot, until the death of the client, there is no national mourning, and if there is no national mourning for one day, Dong Mingcheng will not be able to become the emperor, as long as he does not become the emperor, everything will be easy to do.
Chu Yin insisted on cultivating, his physique was getting better and better, and he was not too tired to go over the mountains and mountains to find medicinal materials every day, but he was two younger sisters, and he was tired enough.
But my sister seems to have magical powers, no matter how tired and hard they are, they find it interesting to follow my sister.
Sister would encourage them when they were tired, tell them funny jokes from time to time, and teach them how to learn about medicinal herbs.
Xu's father and Xu's mother didn't know how their daughter knew medicinal materials, and her daughter said that Ma Gu picked up a book before, Ma Gu didn't know how to read and didn't read it, and she read it, it was a book that introduced medicinal materials.
On this day, when the three sisters came home with medicinal herbs on their backs, guests came to the house, and they were sitting in the courtyard talking to Xu's mother.
Chu Yin saw that it was the matchmaker, and the matchmaker smiled when she saw Xu Shulan, got up and came over to look at Xu Shulan carefully, like looking at the goods.
Glancing at Chu Yin again, the matchmaker smiled sarcastically and said to Mother Xu: "Wait for three years, I can also find one for your eldest daughter, and I will satisfy you." ”
She also said: "Just like Xiao Xu's appearance, there is a rich man in the county, who is older, but he likes widows the most, if he is in a hurry, he can quietly introduce the past now, and good days are indispensable!" It's just that I didn't have a name in the first three years! ”
"But it doesn't matter, anyway, my husband is dead, and my reputation can't be eaten, if the rich man is tired of you, I still have a way, women, you can always get a good one with a few more."
Xu Mu's face sank instantly, but she was not good at words, and she opened her mouth and didn't find a rebuttal.
Chu Yin sneered: "Old woman, I don't know if you have the life to tell me if you have to wait for three years!" ”
"Besides, aren't you a widow yourself? You still keep such a good thing for yourself, rich man, the age is also a match for you! ”
"You ......" The matchmaker glared at Chu Yin: "Xiao Xu, your mouth is too poisonous, I am your elder, how can you say such nonsense!" ”
"How can this be reasonable, you said that in these ten miles and eight towns, which girl doesn't point to me to tell me about good family affairs, you offended me, and you don't want your sisters to marry well?"
