Fleeing from famine and farming: I made a fortune by relying on medical skills

Chapter 235
"Mother, don't you have any work for us today?" In the firewood room, Chen Yi, Luo Shan, Huang Zhangshi, and Huang Jing were warming up by the fire, and Chen Yi couldn't wait to ask.

"Brother-in-law, I came back earlier than you, so apart from doing some concocted work in the first few days back, the rest of the day is free.

We don't know how to see a doctor, and there are those apprentices in the medicine, so we can only rest. "Luo Shan also said helplessly.

"Our busy days are from February to October, especially in summer and autumn. There are many medicinal materials in the mountains, and we have to go up to the mountains to collect herbs every day. At that time, when we are busy, it will make you want to break into two.

Now there are no medicinal herbs on the mountain in winter, so you can take a rest in winter. Now that you have strengthened your body, Xia Qiu is very busy. "Huang Zhang asked the two sons-in-law to rest.

"There are still more than two months until February next year. How about I go to the town to find a job and kill the two months." Chen Yi couldn't help but say.

"Uncle, this can't be done, let's not talk about the Chinese New Year, it's hard to find a job.

Besides, we will build a house for you in the spring of next year, so you have to let your supervisors and helpers ignore it.

The eldest niece also has something for the eldest uncle to do. "After Huang Zisu came to the firewood room, she heard that her uncle couldn't help but want to find a job, so she hurried into the firewood room and said.

"Susu, what do you want uncle to do.

I can't be idle, and I've been idle for too long. I feel that my bones are rusted, and I have a lot of strength and nowhere to exert myself. "Chen Yi hurriedly asked his family, Susu, to assign him some work.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask my uncle if you can grow this thing." Huang Zisu handed the bag of seeds in her hand to her uncle and said.

"It's Coix Seed! I've learned how to grow Coix Seed before.

The principle of planting this thing feels similar to that of planting rice. I thought it should be possible to plant it, and there is no big problem. "Chen Yi took the bag and took a look. After seeing that there were coix seeds inside, he thought for a while and said.

"Susu, you want to plant coix seed on our two plots next year." Huang Zhang who was on the side heard the words, she was not surprised.

Earlier, her family, Susu, had mentioned several times about planting medicinal herbs.

This matter has also been stranded, and there is no action. Huang Zhang thought that her family, Su Su, had given up on planting medicinal materials.

However, her family, Susu, is also very foresighted and insightful. When her eldest son-in-law was in his hometown, he was a good farmer, and he was the most suitable candidate for planting medicinal materials.

"Yes! Besides, planting coix seed is the same as what my uncle said, and the principle of planting coix seed and rice is similar.

In addition, this coix seed can not only be used for medicine, but also has a large amount and a wide range of uses. We can also cook porridge and eat it as a meal. First, we will plant this coix seed and let my uncle practice it first.

If it can be successfully planted next year, some common, widely used and large annual medicinal materials will be planted in the next year.

Plant by yourself, go up the mountain and collect herbs, advance at both ends, grasp with both hands. "Huang Zisu nodded and said.

"Okay, let your eldest uncle try all kinds of medicinal materials." Huang Zhang knows that her family Su Su has an idea, and now their family is not short of money, so she asks her family Su Su to make a fuss, anyway. Get in the way of your own affairs.

If it is really possible to grow medicinal materials and promote this matter, it will be considered a benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

"Uncle, my family only has two acres of dry land, can this dry land grow coix seed?" Huang Zisu thought of this and asked her eldest uncle.

"Okay, no problem.

There are two ways to sow coix seed, namely hydroponics and dry planting.

The hydroponics method is the same as transplanting rice seedlings, but the barley does not need to pour water into the field all the time, just wait for the soil to dry before digging trenches to make ridges.

The dry planting method is to sow seeds at a certain interval on the previously prepared ridges. "Chen Yi nodded without any problem.

"Uncle, if you have some free time, you can now take a walk around the village and find out the foundations of your house.

If you see it right, let the village chief help you measure the foundation and fix the foundation for building the house.

If you really can't be free, you can also go to the Huang's small shop opened by the second uncle to help out, and you can do things according to the second uncle's orders. "Tell her two uncles.

After that, the two uncles and her sister-in-law went out to visit the village together to find the foundation.

Not long after the morning passed, the matchmaker who proposed marriage to her eldest brother came to her home and said that she had obtained Xiao Qiuling's birthday.

The matchmaker told her grandma about the next step.

.

"From the Liu family, will you, mother and daughter, stay at my house or go back to the town to celebrate the new year alone?" Huang Zhang and the matchmaker had finished talking about the marriage proposal when she happened to see Liu and asked her The matter came up.

In previous years, when the apprentices had a two-day vacation at the end of the month, not only the Liu mother and daughter would not go home without the vacation, but the eight elder sisters were also as usual. They worked when they should work in their house, and studied when they should study. They are different, so Huang Zhang has to confirm with them, so that they can be arranged when the time comes.

"If my aunt's family doesn't dislike it, we mother and daughter are willing to stay at my aunt's house for the New Year." Liu said directly without thinking.

Staying at the Huang's house for the New Year let's not talk about the delicious food and drink, not to mention the excitement of their family during the New Year's Eve. If their mother and daughter go back to the town to celebrate the New Year, they will be alone, so it's better to stay at the Huang's house for the New Year.

If it wasn't for leaving a way out, Mrs. Liu would have wanted to sell the house in the town.

Anyway, they basically live and eat at Huang's house now, and they couldn't live in the town for a few days in the past.

"What do you dislike? You are willing to stay at my aunt's house for the New Year. My aunt welcomes you very much.

It's not long before the Chinese New Year, when the time comes, I'll give you some money, and you go to the town to buy some Chinese New Year fruits and things for the New Year's Eve dinner.

On New Year's Eve, cook three tables of dishes, and you watch the shopping. You have to eat well and eat to your heart's content on New Year's Eve, so don't be reluctant to spend money. "Huang Zhang explained to Liu.

"Okay, I will definitely take care of this matter." Hearing this, Mrs. Liu nodded quickly.

"Oh! By the way, I have some material here. Come and take two horses and make new clothes for yourself, Guo Rong and Da Ya for the New Year.

If you are too busy, you can ask Da Ya and the others to help.

As for the other apprentices, you don't need to do it. I will directly pull the fast cloth for these apprentices according to their figure and take them home for their respective family members to sew for them. "Huang Zhang also thought that he had brought back a lot of materials, so he was generous for a while, and pulled a suit of good clothes for the group of apprentices.

Of course, Mrs. Huang Zhang couldn't bear to toss about such a good material, so she made clothes for them with inferior satin.
