Chapter 583

Gu Jinli went to the pharmaceutical workshop and asked Qiu Lang and the others to mow the grass.

This was planned days in advance.When Qiu Lang and the others saw Gu Jinli coming, they immediately stopped what they were doing. After tidying up, they took the knives they borrowed from every household in the village and ran to the bamboo forest outside the house.

Gu Jinli pointed to a large piece of aphid grass in the bamboo forest and said: "You all know the aphid grass. The one with red leaves is just like mowing grass. After cutting, tie up the aphid grass and move it to the pharmacy. Go to the workshop, and pick out the grass seeds and weeds."

"Yes." After hearing this, Qiu Lang and the others immediately mowed the aphid grass.

Gu Jinli looked at Kan Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, take Uncle Dai and the others to the old house at the end of the village, that is, the yard of the old mud houses that my family bought."

Old doctor Wu knew that she liked to grow aphid grass, and later brought back two hundred catties of grass seeds for her when buying medicinal materials. She replanted them in all the open spaces of the old houses that she bought, and now they can be harvested.

Then he said to Aunt Hong: "Aunt Hong, you take Qingping, Qing Rong and the others to go with Uncle Liu, and help tie up the cut aphid grass and move them back. Hurry up, there are still three hours before the day comes. It’s getting dark, you have to dare to cut all the aphid grass before dark.”

Girls like Qingping and Qingrong were one of the 23 people brought by Madam Tao. They used to be servant girls, half of the older ones were from the Qing generation, and the younger ones were from the Bai generation.

Green, red, white, green and blue are the generational characters of the names of these girls.

When Kan Liu heard this, he staggered, almost fell, and turned to look at Gu Jinli, his bearded face was full of pain.

Gu Jinli blinked at him and made a cheering gesture.

Aunt Hong understood what Gu Jinli meant, she didn't say anything, she just followed the instructions and took Qing Rong and the others to help.

Nearly a hundred people harvested the aphid grass together, and it was finished in less than two hours. Kan Liu took Qiu Lang and the others to help several other families mow the grass.

Village head He brought people from He Laoguo, He Laotian, He Dasu, and He Wazi's family to see and cut Mingming aphids. After hearing Gu Jinli's words, Dai Shu taught them: "Mingming aphids are red and easy to distinguish. When you're done, just take out the grass leaves that aren't red and throw them away."

He also explained: "Don't mix weeds in, or the medicine will lose its effect."

"Hey, don't worry, Dr. Dai, we are all veterans of farm work, and we work carefully, so there won't be weeds in the aphid grass." Village Chief He said, dragging Dr. Dai again, quietly Asked: "Doctor Dai, how much does Mingyaocao sell for a catty at the drugstore?"

Dr. Dai laughed, the old village chief was a ghost, and even asked him the price secretly, but the little boss had expected it a long time ago, and said that if someone asked, just tell the truth and don't hide it.

"Dried fine aphid grass, the pharmacy charges six fen, and the selling price is ten fen per catty."

Village head He clicked his tongue, the pharmacy really made money, and sold it for four cents more as soon as it changed hands.However, he was still very happy when he learned that the aphid grass could really sell for six cents a catty.

He did the math, although his family only planted [-] catties of grass seeds, but the aphid grass grows wilder than weeds, and it grows densely in a large area.After harvesting and drying, there can be at least about three hundred catties, and a catty of six Wen is worth one, two, or eight hundred Wen.

Village head He exclaimed: "Hey, two taels of silver grow in the open space, this grass is really valuable!"

Dr. Dai was taken aback by his shout, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Does the village chief have any questions? If not, I will go to work first, and I will teach you when you mow the grass tomorrow." How do you clean up the aphid grass, how do you dry it."

"Hey, Doctor Dai, go get busy. I'll ask Tongsheng to pick you up tomorrow." Village head He was so happy that he dragged his crutches and followed the third grandpa, looking left and right, looking at those bright aphids The grass seemed to be looking at a bunch of copper coins, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it with more interest, until it was dark, and He Tongsheng came to call him home for dinner, and he took He Laoguo and the others away.

Before dawn the next day, Village Chief He and his family got up. The villagers knew that their family was going to cut the aphid grass, so they all ran to watch the fun.

Yesterday when Qingu Luotian's family was cutting the aphids, they wanted to see them. Unfortunately, Wang Yongfu, Lao Zhu and his son, and He Sanlaizi were guarding at the end of the village. Come see it today.

The result is more and more confused.

"Village chief, is this how Mingyao grass is cut? Isn't it like cutting weeds? I thought how finely the Mingyao grass that can be sold for money can be cut so finely."

Someone asked: "Village chief, can this red grass really sell for money?"

Before the village head could speak, the fourth daughter-in-law of He said in a cheap way: "Oh, what can I sell for? You go to the mountain to cut a load of weeds and sell them in the town, only a fool will pay for it. The village head , your old man was deceived by the Gu family, after the grass in your family dried, it must be stuffed into the stove and burned."

Village head He was very happy when he was poured cold water by the fourth daughter-in-law of He. Find two women, take her to the ancestral hall and kneel for five hours, and teach her a lesson."

The fourth daughter-in-law of He was stunned, and then she remembered that the village head has become more and more tough in the past year, and if she catches someone who dares to make trouble, she will be punished according to the family law of her ancestors. I forgot the stubble, and hurried away.

Village Chief He said: "Run away, if you run away, you will never return to the village today? You will not be able to escape this punishment, kneel down and finish sooner."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the fourth daughter-in-law of He immediately pretended to cry and begged for mercy, but the village chief didn't like her, and let He Dacang's daughter-in-law and two older women take her to the ancestral hall to kneel.

With the matter of He Laosi's daughter-in-law being taken to kneel in the ancestral hall, the other women who wanted to make sarcastic remarks all shut up. After watching the excitement for a long time, they felt bored and panicked, and went home.

But within five days, the village felt that Village Chief He and the others who were tricked were all shocked.It's just because the Gu family spent money to buy the aphid grass from the five families of Village Chief He and He Laoguo, which costs six cents a catty.

"He Village Chief's family sold a total of 340 catties of aphid grass, and got twenty or forty yuan. This useless open space really grew two taels of silver."

"He Shengzi's family sold more. It sold for four hundred catties, and got two to four hundred Wen. His grandfather was very happy."

"Hey, it turns out that aphid grass can really make money. What are we waiting for? Go to Gu's house and ask for grass seeds." He Daqiao's daughter-in-law was so excited that her eyes were red, and she slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me!" I'm confused, the Gu family doesn't allow us to go to the end of the village casually, we have to find the village chief to be a guarantor first."

Said that he ran away in a hurry, and didn't even want half of the water.

"Daughter-in-law of Daqiao, wait a minute, we will go too." The other women in the village hurriedly followed, and told the children at home: "Hurry up and ask your father to go to the village chief's house, the land is growing money, so we have to plant it quickly." !"
