Chapter 133 Harvesting Wormwood 1
With the mugwort leaves at home, I can’t make many moxibustion sticks. While there are still mugwort leaves, she will mobilize the masses to pick all the wild mugwort leaves from the mountain. When the weather is good, she can make more moxibustion sticks and put them aside for emergencies need.

Just do what you say, after dinner that night, take a walk in the courtyard with the phantom and walk towards the village. Naturally, you need to discuss with the village chief about mobilizing the villagers.

It was the first time to come to the village head's house after the year. Although it was to discuss helping the villagers, Su Jinman couldn't help but go to his house empty-handed. Phantom carried meat and pastries. Such gifts were the highest in the village.

When they arrived at the village head's house, the village head's wife saw that it was Su Jinman who had come, and she had a smile on her face. After seeing the gift from Phantom Shadow, the smile could reach her ears.

"Come here, come, what to bring, you are still so particular about this child."

"Auntie, that's what it should be. The village chief is also an elder. Is the village chief at home?"

"I'm here, I'm here, come in quickly." After finishing speaking, he shouted towards the back room: "Father, Jinman is here, come out quickly."

As soon as their feet stepped into the threshold of the main room, the village head came out from the back room. Seeing Su Jinman, he was very enthusiastic. Ever since Chen Fan helped arrange the students into the school in the county last time, Li Zheng has praised him a lot He also let him show off in front of the village chiefs of several villages. For some reason, he just felt that Chen Fan did it for her sake.

And Su Jinman didn't come back empty-handed. This made him the village head for so long, and it was the first time he received such a valuable gift. The most people in the village asked him for was basket eggs or other things. Things that are readily available at home.

"Please come inside!" While inviting Su Jinman inside as a distinguished guest, she asked her daughter-in-law to serve sugar water.

Even though he is the village head, he is just a little bit better than other people in the village, with a little more food surplus. His family does not have such a luxury as tea. When entertaining distinguished guests, it is nothing more than making a bowl of sugar water, which is considered the highest standard. way of hospitality.

The village head's wife saw that Phantom was dressed like a maidservant beside Su Jinman. She couldn't grasp Phantom's identity for a while, so she prepared a bowl for her. Phantom has never seen such hospitality. Taking a sip curiously, he stared at Su Jinman with wide eyes.

"Is this sugar water?"

"Otherwise what do you think?"

Su Jinman replied to Phantom, and then explained to the village chief who was sitting opposite: "She has never been in the village, and she doesn't know the customs of the village. You should not be as knowledgeable as her."

The village chief laughed, "It's okay, this is your friend?"

"Yeah, it's a friend I made in town."

She didn't have the identity of a named phantom, because she didn't want everyone to think that she still had any connection with Chen Fan. After taking a sip, she put down the bowl and said to the village chief with a smile.

"The sugar water is very sweet, thank you, auntie."

"You can drink as much as you like, if it's not enough, I'll let your aunt wash it."

"No, these are enough. I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I came to you to discuss something with you."

The village head looked clear and didn't seem surprised. She came here because she had some conflicts with the Su family, and she asked him to mediate.

"You and your grandfather are having trouble again?"

"That's right. I'm helping Dr. Huang in Huichuntang. Recently, Dr. Huang taught me a way to make medicinal herbs. Now I urgently need a large amount of medicinal herbs. I'm willing to pay for recycling. I just want to trouble you to inform the villagers. If you see such a medicinal herb on the mountain, just pick it up and give it to me."

Everyone in the village knows that she went to Huichuntang to help out, and now she has won the favor of Dr. Huang, who taught her how to get rich like this. It seems that this girl is two brushes?
He knew that if he went to the mountains to collect herbs, there would be no need to mobilize the whole village with so many people in his family. He still underestimated Su Jinman, thinking that she was just trying to win over the villagers, and she must not have many herbs. asked casually.

"What kind of herb do you want?"

Su Jinman didn't take the village chief's indifference to heart. After all, she didn't say how much she wanted, so she probably didn't think much about it.

"I'm not afraid of too much wormwood, as long as it's fresh, it can be brought to my house on the same day, and the bill will be settled on the same day, and I will never default."

Only then did the village chief look at Su Jinman in surprise, wormwood is not a hard-to-find herb, it is everywhere on the mountain.

"Why do you want so much wormwood? These are worthless things, and they are not accepted in drugstores. If necessary, my assistant can pick them back. Are you sure you can really make money?"

Su Jinman chuckled, "Village Chief, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Yinzi. Is it to buy a good reputation?"

After Su Jinman said this, the village chief felt that the matter was true and began to take it seriously.

"Then how do you charge?"

"One catty is one copper plate, you can tell the villagers for me, but I only accept wormwood, not chrysanthemum chrysanthemum?"

Wormwood and Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum are very similar in length, but they are different in their own way. Generally, there is no difference between the two, and it is always easy to make mistakes.

The village head didn't expect that Su Jinman would pay such a high price, a catty of copper coins is a lot of money, and only during the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone would pull some wormwood and hang it on the door to avoid evil and seek good luck. Time is of no use.

"Will a copper plate per catty be too much? Do you want to think about it? That thing is not worth much."

Facing the village head's kind reminder, Su Jinman just smiled and said.

"This is the price after my careful consideration. Don't worry about me, I won't lose myself."

Hearing what Su Jinman said, the village chief nodded in relief.

"Okay, tomorrow morning I will go door-to-door in the village to notify you. If this is done, you have done a good deed for the village."

"This is also a matter of convenience. I still think that if someone has idle land, they can pick some wild wormwood and plant it on a large scale. This thing will become a sought-after medicinal herb in the future."

The village head is indeed the head of the village. He heard it in his ears and kept it in his heart, thinking that his family still has two acres of land vacant. If it is true as Su Jinman said, he can try to plant two acres first, even if it is unsuccessful. It's just a one-season delay.

"Okay, tomorrow I will tell everyone together, whoever wants to plant it can plant it, and we will not force those who don't want to."

"Well, I will trouble you to help tell the big guy about this. Anyway, I will be responsible for collecting it here, and I will definitely not lose the big guy."

The village chief knew that Su Jinman didn't just talk about it casually, and that what she did would definitely be done. He now believed in her ability to do things.

"Okay, you just prepare the money and wait for the letter."

"I'll trouble you, village chief, and it's getting late, so I'll go back first."

After discussing the matter, Su Jinman naturally left with the phantom.
