"Brother Mu, I see that your family is fishing, why did you start farming?"

Hearing Zhao Dong's words, Mu Yuanzheng drank all the bowls and said helplessly: "It's not forced by life, natural disasters have been going on year after year, and taxes have increased year after year, which is also a helpless move." ”

Zhao Dong didn't know what to say at this time, he didn't need to pay taxes at all, so he didn't understand this at all, and he didn't have any right to speak.

"Brother Mu, you are working in the field, and you can't do anything if you are tired and half dead all day long, so it is better for me to teach Mu Yun that he can learn to collect herbs. ”

After hearing Zhao Dong's words, Mu Yuanzheng pondered for a while and said, "Mu Yun, he doesn't know a few big characters, can he learn it?"

Mu Yun also scratched his head a little embarrassed at this time, he had followed his father to fish since he was a child, and he had never learned to read and write, and he couldn't even write his own name.

Before Zhao Dong entered the Xuanyuan Sect, he was not much better with him, but after cultivating, he had the ability to never forget, so he learned a lot, otherwise he would be embarrassed to teach Mu Yun.

"I think Mu Yun, this kid, is quite clever, and he must have learned it quickly. ”

After Zhao Dong recovers a little, he can take Mu Yun up the mountain to pick herbs, and he doesn't need to know any words to learn it by word and deed.

"Then thank you Brother Zhao, I am here to thank you for Mu Yun. "Mu Yuanzheng also knows the profits of collecting elixirs, so he naturally knows that if Mu Yun learns it, it can bring a huge change to their family.

With an extra income, the life of the herdsman family will be a little better.

Although he knew that the reason why Zhao Dong taught Mu Yun to collect herbs was to repay them, he couldn't refuse this reward Mu Yuanzheng because it was really too tempting for him to resist.

The meal was enjoyable, as if Zhao Dong was originally a member of the family.

After eating, the shepherd's wife brought a bowl of rice and some vegetables to the old people in the house, not because they were unwilling to let the old man serve the table, but because the old man heard that there were outsiders, he was not willing to sit down to eat.

After being full of wine and food, Mu Yuanzheng directly lay on the bed and fell asleep, Mu Yun was already active, and circled around the cold group.

Han naturally didn't want to pay attention to Mu Yun, the little doll, but now that he was almost recovered, he flew directly to a tree not far away to rest.

At this time, Zhao Dong was idle, and he had nothing else to do, so he cultivated cross-legged and recovered his strength as soon as possible.

After the sun went down, Mu Yuanzheng took Mu Yun to deal with the affairs in the field, and then repaired the small fishing boat.

There is no way to go fishing today, and I can only wait for the flood to completely subside in a few days.

At dinner, there was also a table full of good dishes, and Zhao Dong didn't say anything in his eyes.

Zhao Dong spent the night cultivating, speeding up the restoration of his strength.

By the time Zhao Dong adjusted his body, it was already dawn, and Zhao Dong was also a little sleepy, so he fell asleep.

When Zhao Dong woke up, because it was almost three poles in the sun, and now the weather was a little hot, and when the weather was a little cooler, he would take Mu Yun to learn to pick herbs.

For lunch, it was the leftovers from yesterday that were warmed up, after all, their family is not a rich family.

Mu Yuanzheng went to sleep after he was full of wine and food as yesterday, and Zhao Dong pulled Mu Yun and began to teach him to read.

Zhao Dong also knew that he didn't have a little foundation, so he didn't plan to teach Mu Yun much at once, he planned to teach Mu Yun his own name in this free time.

Zhao Dong picked up a branch and wrote Mu Yun's name on the ground one by one, Mu Yun knew him by name, he didn't know his name.

Zhao Dong used his previous words as a template and rewrote it with Mu Yun's hand.

Next, Zhao Dong asked Mu Yun to write and take a look at it, after all, the result of what he brought and Mu Yun did by himself was completely different.

Mu Yun is still very enthusiastic about learning his own name, and he also knows the importance of knowing his own name.

Zhao Dong breathed on the side for a while, came to Mu Yun's side, and almost burst into laughter when he looked at the words he wrote.

Every word is crooked, and you can't tell it's a word at all.

Mu Yun also knew that his words could not be compared with Zhao Dong's, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.

The words written by Zhao Dong are over there, as long as a discerning person looks at it, he can tell who wins and who loses.

"You're already very good, much better than the first time I wrote it. At this point, Zhao Dong had to admit that the words he wrote for the first time were really miserable.

Hearing Zhao Dong's words, Mu Yun only felt that he had motivation again, and he redoubled his efforts to learn to write his name.

After about half an hour, a white cloud drifted through the sky, blocking the scorching sun.

Zhao Dong saw that the weather was not bad, and stopped Mu Yun, who was working hard to learn the name, and he was going to start teaching Mu Yun to go up the mountain to collect medicine.

Zhao Dong originally planned to call Shang Han together, but this guy ran to sleep on the tree, and Zhao Dong didn't bother to call him.

Taking Mu Yun to the mountain not far away, Zhao Dong didn't have any idea of collecting valuable herbs.

The purpose of him taking Mu Yun up the mountain was to let him know how to pick and identify some herbs, so that in the future, even after he left, Mu Yun could pick them by himself.

Zhao Dong's own physique imposed too many restrictions on him, and for this reason, Zhao Dong learned a lot of medicinal materials, and he also carried out a lot of medicinal material collection operations.

Although what Zhao Dong learned was only a part of the many medicinal herbs, it was enough for ordinary people like Mu Yun and them.

After going up the mountain, Mu Yun was very curious about what Zhao Dong said about picking herbs, and he had heard Lang Zhong say that he went up the mountain to pick herbs, but this was the first time he had gone up the mountain to pick herbs.

"Be careful, don't step on it. Hearing Zhao Dong's words, Mu Yun was so frightened that he took several steps back, and almost fell to the ground because he couldn't stand steadily.

I saw that there was a grass on the ground that Mu Yun was about to step on before, except for a little blue on its head, and its whole body was turquoise.

This mountain is full of weeds, and if you don't look closely, it's really not easy to find, which is why Mu Xian almost stepped on it just now.

"I'll tell you, this grass is called, Blue Grass. Zhao Dong directly uprooted the grass with his hands, and didn't care about the broken rhizomes.

"This blue grass is very valuable, but it can't be said to be completely worthless. "The value of the herbs that can be found by Zhao Dong so casually is naturally impossible to be high, after all, good medicinal materials have long been picked by others.

"If you soak it in water after drying it, it has the effect of clearing heat and relieving fire, which is quite suitable for drinking in this scorching sun. Zhao Dong threw the blue grass directly into Mu Yun's hands and asked him to take a good look at it himself.

After Mu Yun took the blue grass, he felt a fragrance of grass, but those wild grasses also smelled like this, and he couldn't see anything famous when he looked left and right.

"Mu Yun, you came to take a look at this, did you see anything strange?"

After walking for a while, Zhao Dong stopped and called Mu Yun, who had been following him, to his side.

Mu Yun followed Zhao Dong's gaze and saw something similar to a weed, and he couldn't figure out what it was.

Zhao Dong saw Mu Yun's confused look and said, "You pick up the soil with your hands and take a look, you will understand." ”

After Mu Yun squatted down, he carefully peeled off the soil in front of him little by little, only to see that there were roots buried under the soil.

"This, is this ginseng? Brother Zhao Dong. "There is not much difference in age between Mu Yun and Zhao Dong, and it feels a little strange if you call it uncle.

But Mu Yuanzheng is also called Zhao Dong's little brother, so it is a little strange, and finally Zhao Dong said something about it, and the problem of this title was solved.

"This is not ginseng, but because it looks like ginseng, it is also called small ginseng, but in fact, it is called woody. ”

This thing looks similar to ginseng on the outside, but in terms of actual medicinal effect, it is not even one-fifth of ginseng.

Shoddy things are everywhere, and there are often people who use this wood stem as ginseng to deceive those who don't understand.

The price of the stemmed is one-third of the price of ginseng, but there are many people who sell it as ginseng for about half the price.

"If you look closely at the patterns on the roots, there are traces of fracture on the stems, and if it is real ginseng, there will be no such faults. ”

Mu Yun hadn't observed ginseng up close, so he didn't know if what Zhao Dong said was true or false, but he still kept what Zhao Dong said in his heart.

"If this is well preserved, it can be sold for about two taels of silver. ”

Hearing that just like this, a herb could be sold for two taels of silver, Mu Yun was directly stunned.

You know, sometimes if you're unlucky, you won't be able to get a tael of silver if you go fishing once.

"You can pick this carefully, after all, I am only teaching you, and you still have to start it yourself. Zhao Dong planned to let Mu Yun get started directly by himself, observing and guiding him on the side.

Mu Yun looked at Zhao Dong with some unconfidence when he heard this, and his eyes seemed to say that he could really do it?

Zhao Dong nodded at Mu Yun, signaling that he was okay, and he was by his side, so there was no need to worry.

Mu Yun took a deep breath and carefully peeled off the soil little by little, exposing the roots buried in the ground to the air.

The more careful you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and Mu Yun's nails accidentally cut a rhizome.

If this happens, the quality will be damaged, and the price will fall a lot.

It's like a complete copper mirror and a copper mirror with a small crack, albeit with a small flaw.

Although this elixir is not so exaggerated, there is already this rift, and the effect of the medicine will pass faster than the complete one.
