In the famine year, the group pet cubs awakened to farm in Shanhaijing

Chapter 38 Drink Herbal Tea~
Soon, Cheng Miaomiao finished her afternoon work and successfully dragged her little friend to the next door.

For her, it is still a new home in an open field.

A dozen or so workers wore straw hats and short brown clothes, showing strong arms. The division of labor was detailed. Some were using hoes to dig grass and level the ground, some were using carts to transport gravel and red mud, and some were determining the location of the foundation. and depth.

Cheng Erlang is tall, which is obvious among such a group of people.

Cheng Miaomiao saw it at a glance: "Father!"

She flew directly into Cheng Erlang's arms, and after hugging him, she poked her head out to look at the person standing next to him. This man was also tall and dark-skinned, and he shouted obediently: "Hello, Uncle."

Cheng Erlang smiled and said, "Brother Miao, this is my daughter Miaomiao."

Brother Miao also laughed: "The little girl is really smart, I understand the situation here, first take the brothers to dig out the foundation."

Cheng Erlang said hard work again.

Then he looked down at his daughter, pinched her face with his fingers, and asked with a smile: "Why did you run out in such a sunny day?"

"Building a house, come and see!"

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes were flickering, and she had to peek at what the workers were doing while speaking.

Of course, she didn't forget to introduce her little friend to him, she raised her head proudly and said, "This is Dr. Zeng's nephew, Zeng Ziji. The two of us came here after finishing our work, so we didn't slack off."

After sorting out all the herbs in the main room, Dr. Zeng even praised her!
Zeng Ziji was a little nervous, and he stammered when he spoke: "Cheng, Er, Uncle."

Cheng Erlang sighed, and wanted to touch the child's head, but suddenly found that his hands were very dirty now, so he could only coax him: "It will be very dusty and dirty here later, you go back first."

Cheng Miaomiao was a little disappointed, and tugged on his sleeve: "Can't we really stay and watch?"

"That's right, if your mother finds that you are covered in dust and dirty, she will be angry. You can come and see it when you are eating." Cheng Erlang first rejected her, and then offered the best of both worlds.

"Okay then, I also said to bring brother Ji to watch the fun."

She hadn't seen a house built yet.

Cheng Miaomiao quickly swept away the disappointment, took the hand of the little friend again, and said energetically: "Let me tell you, the food cooked by my mother is delicious. Before that, my mother made me a bowl every morning. Where's the egg syrup!"

The two children returned to the small courtyard with one sentence after another.

Although Miaomiao was the one talking most of the time, Zeng Ziji spoke slowly, nodding or huh every time.

Dr. Zeng was looking through the herbs drying in the basket, saw their dingy appearance, laughed and said: "Look, I just said that you have to come back, you will suffer if you don't listen to the adults."

"Aren't you ashamed to argue with a four-year-old at such an adult age?"

Cheng Miaomiao was so angry that she ran to help him turn over the basket with short legs.

Zeng Ziji also walked to another shelf with ease, carefully picking out the herbs, listening to the voices of his uncle and his friends bickering, and never felt that the yard was so lively.

It's nice to have a friend who lives next door.

After the three of them rummaged through all the baskets on the shelf outside, they hurried back to the main room, and each of them drank there with a cup of herbal tea in their arms. Cheng Miaomiao was already sweating from the heat, drinking tons of water.

The herbal tea here does not have the astringent taste of grass, but has a sweet fragrance. After drinking it, people feel that the heat is gone.

After Cheng Miaomiao finished drinking, she continued to smack and smack, looking at him expectantly with those dark eyes.

Dr. Zeng was so overjoyed that he refilled the glasses for the two children.

The weather is too hot.

It must be very hot for Dad and the others to build a house outside. Cheng Miaomiao looked up at him and asked, "Uncle Zeng, can I buy herbal tea from you?"

Dr. Zeng said, "Of course it can, but what do you want to use to buy it?"

He glanced at the bustling construction site outside, the child's mind was so easy to guess, he could guess right.

"I have money!"

Cheng Miaomiao quickly took out her three Wen coins.

Doctor Zeng looked down, teased her deliberately and said: "Your money is only enough to buy one serving of herbal tea, and each serving of herbal tea can only be boiled once, and the taste will be gone afterwards, so do you want to continue buying it tomorrow?"

"If they don't buy it, they are likely to suffer from sunstroke, just because their faces are smudged and they are unconscious."

Cheng Miaomiao's face was full of confusion.

It's so expensive, but Mommy said it would take several days to build a house, so what if daddy and uncles faint?
Seeing that his new friend was in trouble, Zeng Ziji said slowly, "If I have money, I can lend it to you."

It's just money, and my uncle will give him pocket money every month.

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes suddenly brightened.

She reached out and patted Zeng Ziji's shoulder, and sighed like a little adult: "You are really my good friend, but children can't borrow money randomly, but I can make money by myself!"

"Uncle Zeng, have you been collecting herbs recently?"

Cheng Miaomiao looked at him expectantly.

Zeng Ziji also looked at his uncle nervously, for fear that he would piss off his little friend if he said no.

Dr. Zeng was immediately happy when he heard that, and said with a smile: "Of course I will take it. I am collecting all the herbs that have been sun-dried in my yard. If you pick them up, you can send them over. I will pay you per tree."

Cheng Miaomiao happily asked: "Then eggs, fish, mushrooms and so on, do you also accept it?"

"..."

My place is a herbal medicine hall, not a grocery store.

Dr. Zeng looked at her extremely happy little expression, laughed rather disgusted, and said, "Take it, but I can only pick it yourself, and I can't ask your mother to help."

Cheng Miaomiao patted her chest to assure that she felt like doing it herself.

Herbs are not so easy to find, but eggs and duck eggs are easy to find!After all, she has two cheating artifacts!

In the end, she exchanged three Wen for two packs of herbal tea.

It's just that the herbal tea was bought, but Cheng Miaomiao encountered a new problem, that is, she didn't know how to cook it.

Zeng Ziji accompanied his little friend attentively, and pointed out slowly: "Put water and tea bags in the pot first, then turn on the fire, just bring it to a boil."

Cheng Miaomiao had a taught expression.

She looked at the stove that was taller than herself, and couldn't help but look worried. The pot was so big that it seemed to be able to stew her too.

And at this moment, Ye Ning finally came back.

After listening to her children's words, Ye Ning happily taught her a lesson, and even Zeng Ziji, who was anxiously trying to explain, was also taught a lesson. Children can't play with fire or pot .

The two stood there listlessly, being scolded.
