"Sister-in-law, those are not ordinary grass roots. If I am not mistaken, these two are medicinal materials. Now that refugees have entered the city, medicinal materials are in short supply. Let's take these medicinal materials to the medical center and drug store and ask, maybe we can sell them for money."
He Jiuniang explained with a smile. Only then did Mrs. Yu realize that she had said the wrong thing, and said a little embarrassedly: "Look at my mouth. It is obviously a medicinal material, but to say that it is a grass root, my third brother and sister are more knowledgeable. ."
"It's okay, it looks like a grassroots."
He Jiuniang smiled carelessly. It was normal that Mrs. Yu couldn't understand, and she didn't. Meaning of ridicule.
"Sister-in-law, I see they look the same. How do you say they are two kinds of medicinal materials?"
Lu Guilan also looked through it before and didn't see any other medicinal materials. , thought he heard wrongly.
"They are two kinds of medicinal materials. They look similar, but they are still different. It is normal that you can't recognize them. I will teach you how to identify them after dinner."
"Okay!"
Lu Guilan agreed, and Mrs. Sun looked at her strangely and asked, "How do you know those are medicinal materials?"
This third daughter-in-law has recently been He is indeed much smarter. He is a thief catcher and a painter. How come he can even make medicine now? Is there anything else she doesn't know?
He Jiuniang knew that everyone would be curious, so she responded in a good-natured manner: "I have been to the drugstore several times before. I just remembered it when I saw it."
Everyone was silent for a moment. , I think she is really amazing, she can actually tell it at just one glance.
Ms. Sun also stared in disbelief: "People's medicine shops are full of finished products, and you can find the same ones in the mountains at a glance?"
He Jiuniang looked at it She nodded hesitantly: "It seems... right? But I'm not sure, I have to go to a serious medical store to ask."
Having said that, Lu Everyone in the family felt that this matter was done, and He Jiuniang was completely being modest.
The dog held his face in both hands and made a worshiping gesture: "Wow, mom, you are so great!"
The other children also followed the dog's example, and He Jiuniang was amused by them. If it doesn't work, he smiled and said: "Stop making trouble and eat quickly."
The children calmed down, and Old Man Lu said: "In that case, let the eldest and second eldest son go to the city for a walk tomorrow. If If you can do it, this can be considered a living. At least everyone won’t get angry because there is no land.”
“Dad, I’d better go, I just wanted to ask what other good herbs are there. , then we can find more types and earn more.”
He Jiuniang took the initiative to apply. Mrs. Sun glared at Old Man Lu and said, "You should really let the third daughter-in-law go. You let the eldest and the second daughter-in-law go. Do they know what to ask when they meet the drug store manager? Can they handle things properly? You This man just doesn’t have his wits about him. Eat your food!”
Old man Lu felt a little aggrieved and whispered: “Can’t you give me some face in front of so many children?”
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, having a very happy meal.
After dinner, He Jiuniang took out licorice and astragalus and taught everyone how to distinguish them. Everyone present was not spared and was forced to follow them around.
"This is astragalus, which is a little yellow and tastes a bit astringent. This is licorice, the edge of the cut is a little brown, and the taste is sweet, which is easy to recognize."
< br />With that said, He Jiuniang showed them one by one. Only then did everyone realize that there was a real difference, and they were once again impressed by He Jiuniang.
It’s amazing to know all this!
He Jiuniang smiled very modestly and said that she discovered it by accident!
Just when He Jiuniang was taking everyone to wash the medicinal materials, Lu Laoer came back.
"Mom, we have found a quarrying master. This master is also a very skilled stonemason. When the time comes, we can ask him to lead everyone to process the stones and lay the foundation. He asked us to determine the quarrying place first, and he will come here early tomorrow morning."
As Lu Laoer said, he gave the remaining money to Sun and explained that he paid the master five cents money deposit.
Ms. Sun accepted the offer without saying anything, Ms. Qin hurriedly stepped forward and asked her husband: "Have you eaten yet?"
Mr. Lu knew that his wife cared about him and smiled. He nodded and said, "You've eaten some dry food that you brought out in the morning. Don't worry if you're still full. I'm going to go up the mountain now to see where there are more rocks."
"It won't take a while. Son, eat something and drink some water before you go, don’t forget that you are still injured.”
Old man Lu reminded him slowly, they, a group of newcomers, secretly don’t know that there are How many pairs of eyes are staring at you. If someone sees the flaw, then all the hard work during this period will be in vain.
Speaking of this, He Jiuniang remembered that the special effects makeup was two or three days old. It became unreal after a long time. From now on, it will have to be reapplied every two days, at least for two or three months. Only then can you pretend that the wound is healed.
But no one is here now, so there is no need to say anything for the time being. We will talk about it when everyone comes back in the evening.
When the sun went down in the evening, everyone who went to the county town to report to the official or went to the mountains to cut wood and find stones all came back. Mrs. Sun paid wages to all the villagers who had done their work.Then everyone went back to their homes.
The people in the village did not expect that the wages could be paid on a daily basis. It would take a month to get the wages even if they went to work in the county town. In this way, everyone had a better impression of the Lu family. .
The family sat down to eat, and the meal tonight was particularly rich. The chicken and fish had been prepared in the morning, and the chicken had been stewed since the morning, and now it almost melts in your mouth.
The family fled here. Although there was no shortage of food, they had never eaten such good food before. On the road, they did their best to prevent others from smelling the fragrance and grabbing things. It's so simple, even if there is meat, you don't dare to heat it, you can only eat it cold.
But it’s different now. The village is very safe. No one dares to mess around anymore, and they don’t have to be careful anymore.
The fragrance still floats far away. Fortunately, his homestead is large enough, and the fragrance is blown away by the wind. Other people can only smell the fragrance faintly, but it is not too overwhelming. people.
"It's so delicious, sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really amazing!"
He Jiuniang gave a thumbs up, she has been the Yu family and the Qin family since she traveled here. Those who took turns cooking were later joined by Lu Guilan and Shen, but most of the cooking was done by Yu. Because Yu was good at cooking, everyone liked to eat her cooking. The food cooked by the other three was not too unpalatable, but It's inferior to Yu's.
As for He Jiuniang, she hardly ever touched her hands, and her help was only a little.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to do it, she’s just simply lazy. What’s more, in her previous life, she was busy most of the time, either eating work meals or ordering takeout, and rarely did anything by herself.
Fortunately, the sisters-in-law and sisters at home did not care about this with her, and they never had any dissatisfaction.
Others also agreed with He Jiuniang’s words and gave a thumbs up imitating her. Mrs. Yu blushed a little at the praise and said shyly: "How can you say it so well? Hurry up and eat. !”
He Jiuniang was busy working on her meal, and Mrs. Sun asked Zhang Song: “How was your visit to the county government today?”
