Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2868 Going to the Countryside (3)

  Out of the village, Lieutenant Dong Xian reminded: "Master Bai, the sun is going down soon, let's go back to the city."

  Bai Shan shook his head, "Let’s go to the next village. I remember that the next one is Zhaojiagou? We will stay in Zhaojiagou for the night."

  Dong County Lieutenant: "...sir, Zhaojiagou is very remote. We will pass by at this time, and we will arrive after dark."

   "It's because of the remoteness that I want to borrow an overnight stay," Bai Shan said, "Otherwise, I will run to Zhaojiagou again tomorrow, and it will take longer."

  He looked at Lieutenant Dong Xian suspiciously, "Lieutenant Dong, do you not bring a change of clothes, do you? I said before, we will take three days to come out this time."

  Dong County Lieutenant: "...sir, don't worry about washing up under the official."

   Isn’t it normal for big men not to wash for three days and four days?

  The road to Zhaojiagou is more difficult, not to mention that it is getting dark at this time, and the group of people speeds up.

  When they finally climbed over a hill and saw a village, the sky was completely dark, and only the moonlight was shining them forward.

  The people in the village have already fallen asleep, and there are not many who can afford to light a lamp at this time, so when it gets dark, there is no other light source except the stars and the moon in the sky.

  They rode their horses into the village in the dark. Lieutenant Dong knew that they could not keep a low profile at this time, otherwise they might be killed as bandits and bandits, so they shouted as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village.

   directly awakened the whole village.

  The village chief brought the young and strong people to light a torch. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of officials in official uniforms leading their horses and standing on the edge of the ridge.

  The two horses at the front only kicked their feet under the fire, and they looked like well-trained horses.

  In general, such a good horse can also be used by officials. The village chief was relieved. Although he doesn't know what the officials are doing here late at night, they are better than the bandits.

  Well, it's just better.

  The village chief bowed his waist and asked kindly: "Why did the official come here late at night? He hasn't eaten yet? The younger one will let people kill chickens and sheep."

  Dong County Lieutenant asked angrily: "Do you have sheep in your village?"

  The head of the village pleased him with a smile: "There are no sheep, but pigs do, but the pork smells fishy. I am afraid that the officials will not be used to it."

  Dong County Lieutenant: "Is it afraid that we can't be used to eating or you can't bear it?"

  Bai Shan saw that the head of the village chief was about to touch his knees, he couldn't help but frown, and said to Dong Xianwei: "Okay, don't scare him."

He turned his head and said to the village chief: "This county is the new county magistrate who came to inspect. It was already late in your village, so I have to settle down here tonight. Look at who has more ample houses in the village. Just one room to rest us on."

   said again: "You don't have to kill chickens and sheep, just give us a pot of boiling water, we brought dry food."

"How can adults eat dry food..." The village head turned his head and told the people in the village to kill chickens. Bai Shan stopped him and said, "It's getting late, and it's too late to kill chickens and cook. We are a little bit tired. , I’m going to fall asleep after eating dry food."

  The village chief did not call anyone to kill chickens.

  He led Bai Shan and the others to live in his house. Of course, his family couldn't make arrangements for so many people, so he also vacated a room in the neighbor's house next door for them to live in.

   Just ate the dry food with boiling water, but Bai Shan, who was sleepy, took the village head to speak under the moonlight, "Is the rice seed in your village sown?"

  After a meal of boiling water and dry food, the expression of panic on the village chief’s face was much less. He also saw that the young official was very kind, although he did not understand why an official would be so kind to him and a small commoner.

Man Bao washed his face and hands. After standing for a while, he felt that the mosquitoes were flying. He couldn't stand it, so he went back to the room and took out two packets of medicine. The fire was burning inside, and the mosquitoes spinning around the horse slowly flew away or fell on the ground with a snapping noise.

  The anxious horse gradually calmed down, and finally stepped unsteadily.

In the early morning, just before dawn, Bai Shan and Zhou Man woke up. They stood in the yard of the village chief’s house and looked around. The green hills were lush and misty. It really looked like a good place, but the village was caught by three. Surrounded by a mountain, it is difficult to travel.

  Bai Shan moved his muscles and bones and said: "It looks like Qili Village."

  Man Bao asked: "Then what is the quality of their soil? Does the crop yield high?"

  The situation in Zhaojiagou is worse than in Qili Village.

  At least there is a horse-drawn carriage road in Qili Village. Although the road is a bit bumpy, bullock carts and donkey carts can go in and out, and things can be delivered to the county, so you can earn some extra money.

  But Zhaojiagou is not only farther from the county seat, but also more difficult to travel. I am afraid that it is difficult to get out with a scooter.

  Bai Shan said: "I asked last night, the output is average, right? After breakfast, I will go with the village chief to see the fields in the village. Are you going?"

  Man Bao looked up at the mountain. When Keke first arrived at Zhaojiagou yesterday, there were five plants that they had not collected.

  She said: "Go, I'll talk to the people in the village..."

  By the way, go up the mountain to dig some herbs or something.

  Bai Shan nodded, and once again stopped the village chief who was carrying a knife and wanted to kill the chicken, and urged: "The chicken will lay the eggs when the weather is warm. Let's keep it. Let's take a morning meal and go to the field to take a look."

  Man Bao asked the village chief’s wife to organize clever men, women, and children in the village. They walked up the mountain while introducing them to the medical department.

  However, they can't understand Mandarin very well, and the dialects they speak are full of incomprehensibility, so they can only bring two yamen for translation.

  Although Zhaojiagou is remote, it also has its advantages. That is, there are more herbs on the mountain than outside, and it is better.

  Man Bao originally wanted to teach them to recognize a few kinds of medicinal materials that are cool, detoxifying and can prevent heatstroke, but he did not expect to see many other medicinal materials on the mountain.

  She wants to pretend that she can’t see it.

So the medical department’s introduction meeting quickly became, “This is Pueraria lobata root. It can also treat waist and leg joint pain. Remember its appearance. After you dig it out, you can dry it and send it to the county for money. It can be sent to the medical department, or sent to Baicaotang and Renhetang, the doctors will concoct it..."

  "This is Platycodon grandiflorum. This thing is very good. I didn’t expect you to have it on the mountain. There are so many. Write it down. Write it down. This thing can treat the swelling and pain of pharyngitis..."

  "This medicine is commonly used, and it is easy for both adults and children. In severe cases, it will cause fever, and it is not cheap. I will teach you how to pick it. After it is picked, it will be sent to the county for money."

  Not only Zhou Man has great enthusiasm for the exchange of money, but the villagers also have it, so everyone stared at it and tried to remember what they looked like.

Man Bao also taught them to reserve seeds for medicine, saying: "A good place requires medicinal materials to reserve seeds. This is the same as keeping eggs for incubation. If you eat all the breeding eggs, there will be no chickens to raise in the coming year. The same is true. If you want to continue this lucrative business for a long time, you have to reserve seeds for them..."

  　See you at six in the afternoon
