Farmer's happy event

Chapter 5 Pharmaceuticals
Lian Ziji was concerned about Cang Zhu, got up early the next day, ate a few mouthfuls of food and then went out with a basket.

Calling on Huzi, the two walked up the mountain bathed in the light golden sunlight.

The wind was a bit strong, Lianzi shivered, tightened the cotton-padded jacket that had been washed so hard that no color could be distinguished, and said to Huzi, "Hurry up, we're almost there."

Thinking of making money, Lianzi's heart was filled with excitement, and she wished she could sell the medicinal materials right away.She calculated that when she sold the money, she would buy some grain first, so that her parents and sisters could have a few full meals.In addition, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the thin and worn clothes on the family members should also be changed.Doing so would be a huge expense.Thinking of this, Lianzi couldn't help speeding up her pace.

When I arrived at the place I had been to yesterday, the small piece of Cangzhu was still there as I imagined, with withered yellow branches and leaves swaying in the cold wind.

A gratified smile appeared on Lianzi's face, she rolled up her sleeves and started digging up these dry plants.

The two dug a basket full of Cangzhu, and then walked home together talking and laughing.

The sun is shining warmly, if it is not because of the drought, what a happy sight it would be.

Lianzi returned home, looked left and right, and finally found a broken oilcloth in a corner of the kitchen.She spread the oilcloth in the yard, and poured the isatid root and kudzu root dug yesterday on it to dry.

One by one, she carefully placed the treasures, when suddenly there was a splash, and a few drops of water splashed on her shoes.

"Hey, you little moron, what are you doing so blindly? Hurry up and stay aside." Li Shi walked out of the room and poured a basin of water, which happened to splash a corner of the oilcloth and wet a few pieces of medicinal herbs.

"What are you doing?" Lianzi stood up and asked Li.

Now these medicinal materials are her treasure and her hope, how can she allow others to damage even a single bit?So he immediately yelled at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li didn't expect Lianzi to have such a big reaction, and instantly became angry from embarrassment: "Hey, you little thing, you have grown up! It's all because of your mother's habit. If you don't care about it, you can tear down our house." It's gone!" She said while patting the edge of the basin with her hands, "Look at what you made of this? You know how to waste things, and you ruined a good oilcloth!"

"What? Who ruined the oilcloth?" Shen heard the shouts in the yard, and hurried out to look.

The Shen family is extremely strict in housekeeping and does not allow a single bit of waste. At this time, when they heard that someone was ruining things, they naturally rushed out to check.

Seeing Shen Shi coming, Mrs. Li pointed to the lotus seeds on the ground and said, "Look, isn't this a waste of something? She has spoiled all the good things!"

"What are you doing with these?" Shen is very clear about everything in the house. She glanced at the oilcloth used for lotus seeds, and naturally knew that it was the old one in the kitchen, but according to her temperament, no matter how old it was, I was not willing to throw away the things I had, so I still had a gloomy face, "Hurry up and put them back, there is nothing in the house for you to spoil."

In the past few days, Lianzi has figured out Shen's temperament. She will not be lazy like Li, who doesn't know good from bad, but she is outrageously stingy.Therefore, he said: "Okay, it's okay if you don't need it. When I sell these for money, none of you want it!"

"You villain is suffering from hysteria. Can these crap be sold for money? Are you in trouble!" Lianzi laughed when Lianzi finished speaking.

But Shen thought for a moment, and asked: "Can it really be sold for money?" As long as it is related to money, Shen will definitely think about it, and Lianzi has already figured out this point.

"Of course, you'll find out later." Lianzi ignored Li Shi, and knelt down to dry the herbs.

Mrs. Shen didn't speak any more, turned around and entered the main room, leaving Mrs. Li shouting from behind: "Oh, mother, listen to her nonsense, what does she know? I have lived for so many years, but I have never heard of this Bluegrass roots can be sold for money, even if you give them to cows!"

Lianzi stopped talking to her, and thought to herself: "When I sell the money to buy something, I won't give you a single bit!"

When Mrs. Yang came back from a visit at noon, she saw the things that Lianzi had put out to dry in the yard, and thought she was just kidding around. Since Mrs. Shen didn't say anything, she let Lianzi play with it.As for Mrs. Li's matter, since Mrs. Yang didn't ask, Lianzi naturally didn't say anything more.

In the mid-winter of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was dry and cold as usual, but fortunately, the sun was good every day. In just a dozen days, most of the medicinal materials were almost sun-dried except for Cang Zhu.

Since the villagers in the vicinity do not know medicinal materials, when Lianzi digs these wild herb, all the high-quality medicinal materials that have been grown for three years are selected.It has been half-dried in the sun for more than ten days, and after knocking off the roots, the dark brown skin has been exposed.After bumping the roots three times, the surface of Cangzhu has turned yellowish brown.Seeing the fruits of her labor, Lianzi couldn't help feeling relieved.Although she knew the simple method of preparing these medicinal materials, this was only learned in her previous life for auxiliary work. As for preparing it by herself, this was the first time.

After the medicinal materials were prepared, Lianzi packed them up and brought them to the town to sell when they found the opportunity.

Lianzi had just woken up that day, and before she had time to eat breakfast, she suddenly heard the cry of cows mooing outside the door, and then the tiger wife, Mrs. Zhao, shouted loudly outside the door: "His sister-in-law, are you going to the market?" ?”

Lianzi hurriedly looked out the door when she heard the shout, she really hoped that Mrs. Chen would talk about it, so that she could sell the medicinal materials.

Mrs. Shen was busy working in the kitchen, when she heard the shout, she hurriedly responded, "No, you go", and then muttered, "I can't even eat, so where is the spare money to buy this or that?"

"There is still a lot of space in the car, let's take you with me." Zhao shouted loudly again.She is a very down-to-earth person. Since Lianzi was injured, Lianzi and Huzi got close, and their family became close to Lianzi's family.

"What? Have you set up your cart?" Shen heard that the cart was still free, so she hurried out of the kitchen, and saw that the three members of Zhao's family were sitting in the cart, and hurriedly said, "Ms. Gu, you go together, go." The eggs were sold at the fair."

There is only one hen left in the family. Fortunately, it can lay an egg almost every day, so it has been raised all the time. The eggs are sold once a month or so, and it can more or less survive for a few days.

A few days ago, I just sold eggs, and there was no need to sell them now, but Shen thought that since there were other people's ox carts, it happened to save her own cattle, so she asked Yang to follow her to sell the eggs. sold.

Yang naturally knew what her mother-in-law was thinking, but she didn't say much. She wiped her red hands from pain on the gray apron around her waist, agreed, and turned to enter the room.

"Grandma, I'm going too." Seeing that Shen agreed, Lianzi hurriedly said.

　The two shifts owed will be made up immediately.
