Chapter 243 Herbal Tea
frog pond.

Su Dashan, Old Man Zhang, and Father Hu are building the chimney, while Hu Lidong, Zhu Qiang and others are taking off the adobe.

"Grandpa Su, Second Uncle Su, Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Hu..." Luopan greeted everyone one by one.

"The abacus is here." Everyone responded, and continued to do their work with their heads bowed.

Compass looked up and saw that two adobe houses had been built, and the flue had been built. A frog pond was built, and the second one was being built.

"Grandpa Su, how long can we build a flue for a frog pond?" Compass asked.

"It doesn't take long to build a flue, mainly because the adobe can't keep up." Su Dashan thought for a while and replied.

This is thanks to the help of old man Zhang, father Hu and others, otherwise the speed would be slower.

"Abacus, if you are in a hurry, I will rush to work at night?" Su Dashan said.

"Don't, don't, Grandpa Su, I'm not in a hurry, you mustn't do it at night." Compass waved his hands repeatedly.

Taking off adobe is known as the first of the four major fatigues in the countryside, and it is more tiring than being a coolie. If Su Dashan has been working day and night, his body will definitely be exhausted.

Besides, they don't plan to keep all of them until winter. They can keep a few frog ponds when they can finish building them, and sell the rest in autumn.

"Grandpa Zhang, do you think this frog can grow up after feeding it for a few days?" Luopan asked.

Only old man Zhang has raised frogs here, so Luopan can only ask him.

"About ten days or so. Brother Su took good care of it, and with enough food, the frog will grow fast." Old man Zhang said, glancing at the frog in the frog pond.

He comes to help almost every day, watching these frogs grow up, and occasionally guiding Su Dashan a little bit, of course he knows when it will grow.

"Abacus, this year my family still wants to resell boiled frogs. I wonder if it will work?" Old man Zhang asked.

"Of course no problem." Compass replied without hesitation.

There is no conflict between the Zhang family and where they sell it, and they can make more money, so why not do it!

"Abacus, I, my family also want to resell it?" Hu's father asked hesitantly.

The reason why his family didn't raise frogs was to resell the finished products directly like the Zhang family.

"Yes." The compass also simply responded.

"Thank you for the abacus!" Father Hu said with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Hu, you are being polite. We are relatives, so what is this trivial matter?" Compass waved his hand.

First of all, Zhou Laosan became He Bo's deputy envoy. The Zhou family should no longer sell boiled frogs, and the rest just went to the Hu family.

Secondly, the Hu family came to Frog Pond to help every day. Although Su Qingxing was responsible for it, most of it was because of their face, and they had to pay it back.

"Yes, yes, we are relatives, relatives." Father Hu looked at Su Dashan while talking.

I sighed in my heart: This in-law, their Hu family is really married!
"Grandpa Su, Grandpa Hu, Grandpa Zhang, you must remember to drink the mung bean water brought by Uncle Qiang. The weather is too hot, so don't suffer from heat stroke." Compass reminded, this is what Liu Ye'er told him before coming here.

"Okay!" The three nodded.

After chatting with the three of them for a while, Compass turned and left.

When I got home, Compass went straight to the back garden, picked a few tomatoes, took them to the kitchen, washed them briefly, and took a bite.

"It's delicious!" Compass said with a look of aftertaste, thinking in his heart, next year must be more variety.

Sudden!When Luo Pan saw the greenhouse next to the west wing, he slapped his forehead and scolded himself for being so stupid, how could he forget about the greenhouse.

As long as there is a greenhouse, he can eat tomatoes all year round, not next year.

Thinking of this, Luo Pan became happier, and shouted to Aunt Qiang who was washing clothes in the shade: "Aunt Qiang, make me scrambled eggs with tomatoes at noon."

"Understood, third young master." Aunt Qiang responded.

"Put a few more eggs." Fat Miao'er, who had just walked into the yard, added.

"Yes, fifth girl." Aunt Qiang nodded.

Fat Miaoer and Compass are perfect complements. One likes to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the other likes to eat tomatoes.

"Fat Miao'er, I have something to discuss with you." Luo Pan said while eating tomatoes.

"Okay, let's go to the main room and say, it's too hot outside." Fat Miao'er fanned herself with a small fan, and walked towards the main room while fanning.

Hearing this, Compass followed behind and walked in.

After entering the room, Fat Miao'er hung her schoolbag on the wall, picked up the water glass on the table, poured a glass of cold water, and drank it "gudong gudong".

"Ah! What a joy!" Fat Miao'er said with emotion.

"Fat Miao'er, is it that hot?" Compass asked puzzled.

"Yes!" Fat Miao'er nodded heavily.

A thin person like Compass, of course, can't understand the troubles of a fat person.

How she wished there was an air conditioner now, and it was served with a creamy ice cream.

Thinking about it, Fat Miao'er swallowed unconsciously.

After calming down for a while, Fat Miao'er asked, "Third brother, what do you want from me?"

After listening, Luopan told about the frog pond and whether or not to accept wild frogs.

"I think it's acceptable." Fat Miao'er nodded.

"We just bought someone, and we happen to have enough manpower. Uncle Qiang and you are in charge of selling, Aunt Qiang and sister are in charge of making, and I can also help with the work in the afternoon." Fat Miao'er analyzed.

"I thought so too. I'll go to the village in the afternoon to release the news. I'll start harvesting frogs tomorrow." Luo Pan nodded.

The two discussed the details and precautions again.

……

The next day.

The sky is blue and blue without a cloud, the hot sun is scorching the earth, the water in the river is hot, and the soil in the ground is smoking.

The weather was swelteringly hot, there was no wind, and the thick air seemed to freeze.

Fat Miao'er, who came back from school, had a pink and tender face flushed with sweat, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Her whole body was like a frost-beaten eggplant.

"It's so hot today!" She complained while fanning her fan vigorously.

At this moment, Liu Ye'er came in with a teapot, poured a cup and handed it to Fat Miao'er.

"What is this?" Fat Miao'er took it, looked it over carefully and asked.

"Herbal tea, I learned it from Grandpa Li. It clears heat and relieves summer heat, and refreshes the mind." Liu Ye'er explained.

It turned out that Liu Ye'er just learned the medicinal herb of licorice yesterday. Dr. Li told her that it can be mixed with mint flavor, add water and sugar and drink it after boiling. It has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.

Thinking of Fat Miao'er screaming hot every day when she came back, Liu Ye'er felt very distressed.

Now that I know this recipe, I went to Huichuntang to buy some mint leaves and licorice this morning, and added water according to the proportion. Knowing that Fat Miaoer likes sweet drinks, I added more sugar on purpose.

"Try it quickly, see if it tastes good?" Liu Ye'er said expectantly.

This was her first time taking medicine. Although it was just making herbal tea, it was a good start, proving that her study of medicine was useful.

"Okay!" Fat Miao'er picked up the cup and drank it in a big gulp.
