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

Chapter 9 Trading Herbs for Money

Doctor Zeng also found this proposal absurd when he said it.

If it's a child of seven or eight years old, that's fine. Sanya is not yet five years old, so she probably doesn't even know where to find medicinal materials.

It is estimated that I just remembered Ziji's name when I heard it next to him.

"Miaomiao is still young, she doesn't know any medicinal materials."

Ye Ning looked a bit astonished, and said with a smile: "If Dr. Zeng lacks medicinal materials, we can go to the mountain to find them for you. You saved Miaomiao's life this time, and we have no time to repay you. How can we ask you for money."

"I'm not, I'm not!"

Cheng Miaomiao puffed up her cheeks, tugged at Dr. Zeng's clothes, and looked up at him: "Uncle Zeng, I didn't say the names of these herbs by accident. I really know them. If you don't believe me, you can ask me."

Dr. Zeng looked into her confident eyes and hesitated for a moment.

Turning to look at the little boy, he asked, "Zi Ji, just now when you were picking out the herbs, did you read them out?"

Zeng Ziji shook his head slowly and said, "No."

After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Cheng Miaomiao, then said after a pause, "Uncle, she does know those herbs."

oh?Dr. Zeng is a little interested.

He squatted down and looked at her with a short body, and asked, "Okay, then let me test what is the effect of your wild mint?"

Ye Ning felt a little unbelievable, and just wanted to say how the child would know this.

I saw Cheng Miaomiao wrestling her fingers and said excitedly: "Peppermint is pungent and cool, it can sweat and relieve fever, and the leaves of mint can also be used to cure wind and cold into the body. The main reason is that it can be eaten raw or cooked, and it can refresh the mind. Get out of trouble!"

Her voice was soft and sounded like a baby, but her words were orderly.

Doctor Zeng was surprised for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right."

He looked up at Ye Ning who had the same surprised expression, smiled lightly, and sighed: "I have never taught Ziji this passage, so this girl does know this medicine, and she is very talented in this area."

"Look, Ma'am, Uncle Zeng said I was right, I'm amazing, right?"

Cheng Miaomiao hugged A Niang happily.

Ye Ning felt her familiar stickiness, and the confusion in his heart immediately dissipated, boasting: "Well, our Miaomiao is the best."

"Uncle Zeng, does it still count if you say that you exchange copper coins?"

"Of course it counts. I want as many of these two things as you can find."

Doctor Zeng picked out a few half-dried wild mint and wild chrysanthemums from the basket and handed them to her.

After speaking, he looked at Ye Ning again, and said with a smile: "I'm still collecting a bunch of triangular vines recently. If you can find them, you can send them over. I'll take them at the market price. I'll just change the medicine for my head in three days."
-
Ye Ning didn't react until he got home.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Qian squatting at the door of the kitchen to choose vegetables. She said in a dissatisfied tone: "Hey, where did the second brother and sister go? They cook for us together with the whole family, right? You are really a young lady, after so many years It can't change the fate of being served by others."

Ye Ning's face turned pale in an instant.

She temporarily suppressed her thoughts, pushed Miaomiao's shoulder to let her play by herself, and walked over to take over the matter of choosing vegetables: "Sister-in-law, I took Miaomiao to Dr. Zeng's to change the medicine."

"It's not enough to just take the medicine, but you have to change the medicine!"

Qian Shi was taken aback, and said with a tusk: "Then how much do you have to spend?"

Ye Ning shook his head and said, "I paid for it yesterday."

No matter how much Qian asked, she didn't get a specific amount of money. She thought it's no wonder that they paid the least when all the houses paid last night, and all the money was spent on the girl.

Cheng Miaomiao returned to the house beaming, and solemnly put the two herbs into the cabinet.

She is no longer what she used to be!

In human society, we must abide by the rules of human society. For example, money is a very important thing. Mrs. Zhao almost sold her to her uncle to pay off the debt because her family had no money, so she must have money!

Uncle Zeng said that she could exchange herbal medicine for copper coins, and she would become very rich!

But what can the money be used for?

Cheng Miaomiao was a little puzzled for a moment, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure it out, so she just didn't think about it.Turning around and running to the vegetable field in the backyard, the myrtle plant that was planted in the morning stayed there quietly, the leaves were a little wilted.

She reached out and touched its branches, feeling the grievance it conveyed.

There are still some vague feelings.

Cheng Miaomiao tilted her head, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized: "You mean that you can't transplant it when the sun is shining, and you have to wait for the sun to go down before transplanting it, so you are dehydrated now!"

"What are you talking about all by yourself, you bastard!"

Granny Zhao's harsh voice suddenly sounded.

Cheng Miaomiao was so startled that her eyes almost went round.

Mrs. Zhao came out of the vegetable field, still clutching a handful of freshly picked beans, narrowed her inverted triangular eyes, and cursed: "What are you doing there, you want to steal vegetables, don't you! "

Cheng Miaomiao pouted.

She can eat enough if she just strolls around the mountain, so she doesn't care about eating her precious dishes.

The old lady Zhao snorted: "I was sneaky when I was a child, what a good thing I can be when I grow up! I won't raise you if I can't get married by then, just jump into the river and drown as soon as possible!"
