Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 238 Counting on fingers

Su Qing'an thought that it was not urgent to go to Fengcheng, so she stayed at home with Xiaobao for two days. Reading

It was still cold, and it was unrealistic to take Xiaobao out. And she didn't know what was going on outside. If something happened, she would regret it too late.

She had just come back, and she left again. I'm afraid that Xiaobao really couldn't be coaxed. It's not good to leave the image of a mother who doesn't keep her word to the child.

She sent Siyuan to take a look at the new village. The next day, Xiang Shang knew that she was back, and came back with Siyuan.

Xiang Shang was still holding the account book.

Su Qing'an flipped through it and wanted to pout.

I thought a few thousand taels of silver should be enough to build a market town. I felt much more at ease. This time, I saw that the new village had spent a lot.

She almost forgot that she had more than 60 people.

These people need food, drink, clothes, and houses to build and live. There is silver everywhere.

She had given Li Guanshi some money to buy seeds before.

The remaining silver in her hand is not enough?

It's fate.

"Okay, I got it. You go back and keep an eye on the progress of the project. The money that should be spent should be spent. Don't save on the materials of the house. It will leak in the future. I'm tired of repairing it every day."

"Yes."

"I will ask Siyuan to buy some more food outside. Food is expensive outside now, and there is no food for sale in the nearby counties and towns."

Xiang Shang said, "The food can last for a while. During this period, Siyuan took everyone into the mountains to hunt, and the women also went into the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, wild vegetables and mushrooms. There is no shortage of food."

Su Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Handed him the account book, gave him some instructions, and let him go back.

After leaving, Su Qingmei began to worry about where to get some more money.

If you have food in your hand, you will not be in trouble. If you don't have money in your hand, you will be really in trouble. Seeing that the money is about to run out, and many people are waiting for her to get money, it doesn't feel good at all.

I can't admit that she is poor. I have to hold on.

Just when she was worried, she didn't expect Ling Fenggu to come to her with a basket of medicinal herbs the next day.

He said to her happily: "This mountain is a treasure house. There are many precious medicinal materials, and the common herbs that are needed in large quantities can be found everywhere." Ling Fenggu looked very happy. Seeing him now, he was already two different people from the one Su Qing'an saw that day. Life in the mountains is quiet, less worrying, and peaceful. There is no need to worry about food or family separation. You can do what you like. Ling Fenggu smiled as soon as he entered the yard, looking like a gentle and elegant old herbalist. Su Qing'an was very interested after listening to him. She has embraced so many mountains, but because she didn't know the herbs, she let the treasures never see the light of day. Su Qing'an always felt very sorry. Unexpectedly, a Ling Fenggu was sent to her. "Boss, come and see..." Ling Fenggu carefully picked up his basket. Su Qing'an leaned over to take a look. Most of them were unknown, and she only knew ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. Ling Fenggu held a bunch of herbs and introduced them to her one by one, as if he was introducing his own children.

Gastrodia elata, Polygonatum sibiricum, Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Paris polyphylla, Magnolia officinalis, Eucommia ulmoides, Pinellia ternata...

"Boss, there are so many herbs in this mountain. I can't bear to come out once I get in." Ling Fenggu stared at the pile of herbs, looking at them again and again.

He said, "Xiang Shang said that the boss spent a lot of money to build a new village and market. I'm afraid it's not easy. So I picked up these herbs and the boss took them outside to see how much they can be sold for. It can also help to supplement a little. This spring is the season for collecting herbs. When the time comes, our family will go into the mountains to dig herbs for the boss."

Su Qingmei was very moved after hearing this.

It turned out that she was not fighting alone.

Nodding to the lovely old man: "Okay, then I'll take it. I'm going to Fengcheng to find a doctor, so I'll take it over and sell it."

"Does the boss want to find a doctor to come to our mountain?"

Su Qing'an nodded: "Yes, there is no capable doctor in the mountains. Once you get sick, you can only go up the mountain and wait to die. I want to see if there are any doctors willing to live here, or come into the mountains to see the villagers every once in a while. Everyone will have a sense of security."

Ling Fenggu looked at the female boss in front of him steadily. Seeing that she was so young, not only did she take them in, but she also cared about the health of so many villagers in the mountains.

I was very moved.

So he said, "Then the boss should go and look for them first. I also knew some doctors before, and I will help write letters to them to see if anyone is willing to come to the mountains. It's hard to stay in the north now, so there should be someone willing to go into the mountains to hide away."

Su Qingmei was overjoyed: "Okay, when the time comes, you write a letter and send someone to deliver it to me, and I will help you mail it. You can write the address of the governor's mansion in Renzhou as the recipient."

"The governor's mansion in Renzhou?" Ling Fenggu looked at her with some surprise, so the person behind the boss is the governor?

He didn't ask, and nodded: "I know."

He talked to Su Qingmei about how to prepare these medicinal materials, and then left.

Su Qingmei looked at the basket of processed medicinal materials, not knowing how much they could be sold for, but there were some precious medicinal materials in it, so she should be able to get some silver, right?

It's also a subsidy.

That can't be delayed, in case the effect of the medicine has worn off.

In the evening, Su Qingmei coaxed Xiaobao for a long time.

"Are you going far away?"

"How many days?"

"Can't you take Xiaobao with you?"

"You can only take Xiaobao when he's older. Now I have to carry the herbs, the bag, the food and water, so I can't carry Xiaobao."

"Xiaobao, go by yourself."

"Xiaobao can't walk now. Look at the mountain opposite the door. Is it so high? Xiaobao can't climb it alone. Mom has to climb several such mountains. She will be tired and can't carry Xiaobao on her back."

Xiaobao frowned upon hearing this.

"How about you just stay at home with Granny Lu and Aunt Ruyi, and wait for mother to come back? Come, mother will teach you how to count on one finger a day, and after counting on one hand, mother will come back."

"Has your mother really come back after counting?"

"Well, mother will be back after counting. Come on, pull the hook."

"Hook."

Su Qingyu got up early the next day. Still taking Siyuan with me. The two of them left the village carrying a basket on their backs.

Fengcheng.

In the back kitchen of an inn, a woman in ragged clothes and unkempt hair was struggling to drag a large bundle of firewood to the kitchen.

When it was dragged on the ground, a lot of ash was thrown up, and twigs and twigs also fell to the ground.

The female shopkeeper of the inn frowned.

He shouted loudly: "Look at you, I kindly took you in to work, but this is what you do?"

The woman slapped her nose with her hand and said, "This is a pile of sharp soil that has been blown up all over the house. If it falls into the pot, and the guests complain, will you pay for it? This firewood cannot be carried in, so why should it be dragged like this?"

When the woman saw the woman scolding her, she hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "It's my fault, my fault, I'll move right away."

He loosened the hemp rope in his hand and leaned towards a large bundle of firewood...
