Since yesterday, Li Jin showed a hand and healed Li Zhuzi's foot.
Li Jin's status in Li Zhuzi's heart suddenly rose a notch.
If Li Jin used to be a muddy mess in Li Zhuzi's heart, now, Li Jin's style can be called a prodigal son.
It's only just after seven o'clock, and there are already many wives and elderly people on the roadside carrying poles or bamboo baskets.
They are carrying their own eggs or embroidered purses, ready to take them to the town to exchange money.
As for the main labor force at home, middle-aged and young men are now busy harvesting wheat from their own fields.
Previously, Li Jin judged that it should be June recently based on the heat of the weather, but now she sees golden wheat and everyone working.
Li Jin is more certain that this is the busy farming season in June.
After leaving the village and walking up the dirt road for less than five minutes, I saw the river where I washed my clothes yesterday.
Next, there are golden wheat fields on both sides of the road.
Li Jin found that basically all the fields are planted with wheat, but there are still some differences, and the rise of wheat in a few fields is particularly gratifying.
Each grain of wheat is fuller and taller than the wheat in the fields next to it.
However, in some fields, a lot of weeds grow, and the wheat cannot absorb the nutrients in the land, so it grows low.
It depends on whether the farmers are hardworking or not. They often come to weed the fields, and of course the wheat grows well.
Going a little further, Li Jin even saw that the weeds in a field were stronger than wheat.
Li Zhuzi pointed to the piece of land and said, "...Hey, if your land is not planted properly, you won't be able to pay the rent this year."
Li Jin: "..." So that was the land allocated to his family.
Li Zhuzi looked at Li Jin's face and said, "Although everyone is a village, the village chief is only taking a bag of flour as rent.
But in your land, I'm afraid you won't be able to make even a bag of flour this year.
I know that you are a scholar. You don’t go to the land. In the past years, your mother took care of the fields. Last year, it was your husband.
As a result, your husband got a body in September last year. He planted wheat grass. This year, his body was sinking and he didn't have time to pull the grass, so he grew like this. "
Looking at the field, Li Jin was already thinking about what rapeseeds to buy and plant.
But Li Zhuzi saw that he didn't speak, and thought that this man took his anger on the husband.
Li Zhuzi hurriedly said: "It's no wonder your husband, when he was pulling the weeds for the wheat, his stomach was so big that he couldn't bend down.
You didn't say at the time that you needed help, so the fields were abandoned. "
Li Jin set his eyes on Li Zhuzi and said, "I won't bully him again."
If Li Jin said this in the past, Li Zhuzi would definitely not take it seriously.
Don't all the useless men in the village who like to beat their wives do this
He was drunk and beat his daughter-in-law violently, and when he woke up, he knelt down in front of his daughter-in-law and cried and apologized to promise that he would never make a mistake again.
This type of man has a characteristic, that is, he is incompetent, ploughing the fields, and disdain to do laundry and cooking.
Marrying a daughter-in-law is equivalent to marrying a nanny, the kind that doesn't pay, not only has to serve the man's family all day, but also has to have children.
Of course, most of the money for mending was taken out by men to buy wine and drink.
After getting drunk, he started beating his daughter-in-law again.
became a vicious circle.
In the past, Li Jin belonged to this type of person.
Therefore, Li Zhuzi said to him something like 'I won't hit my husband in the future', and it went in from left ear to right ear.
But this time, Li Zhuzi felt different.
Although Li Jin's expression was not as sincere as he had promised in the past, and even the words of assurance were soft and fluffy.
A simple 'I won't bully him again'.
But it was in such a calm tone that Li Zhuzi felt that Li Jin was serious this time.
Li Jin did not continue the topic, but asked Li Zhuzi about the habits and prices of some crops.
Li Zhuzi also doubted him. After all, although Li Jin is a man, he can really keep his fingers clean.
Instead of treating himself as a Zhuangjiahan, he is spoiled by the family like a niece who doesn't know the world.
Naturally, Li Jin didn't know what Li Zhuzi was thinking. He just wanted to quickly understand the world and improve the situation at home.
"After the busy farming season is over, the villagers will plant some seasonal vegetables, such as rapeseed, leeks, green onions, and so on.
But this is usually only eaten at home, and only the vegetables of the village head will be sold in the town. "
Li Jin thought that in ancient times, several large households were basically gathered together to form a village.
The village chief has great power. He can allocate the fields, announce what the whole village will grow this year, and even monopolize the supply of vegetables to the town.
But Li Jin didn't even think about selling the vegetables he grew at home.
There have always been only three people in their family, and the children can't eat vegetables yet. But he needs a variety of vegetables. If such a piece of land is planted, the family will not have to worry about food.
"Brother Zhuzi, how much is the price of rapeseed?"
Li Zhuzi said: "It depends on how much you want. Your family has only two acres of land now. Generally, a bag of rapeseed is grown on one acre of land, and it costs four cents.
However, the price is also changing, and different rapeseeds must have different prices. "
Li Jin nodded and said that he knew.
He asked the prices of other things again, but in order to avoid causing Li Zhuzi's suspicion, Li Jin asked about crops.
Anyway, the original owner never worked in agriculture, so he is definitely not clear about this. Li Zhuzi didn't think much of it.
By the time we got to town, it was just past eight o'clock.
Li Zhuzi was going to deliver the chopped firewood to a large family in the town, so he pointed Li Jin in the direction of the medical center when he first entered the town.
"I don't know the name of that hospital, but everyone in our village goes there to see a doctor. The doctors and shopkeepers are good people, and they never prescribe random medicine for us."
It turned out that there were three medical clinics in the town. The side that Li Zhuzi pointed to was relatively remote and not on the main street, so the price was cheap.
After Li Jin thanked him, he separated from Li Zhuzi.
Li Jin said, "Brother Zhuzi, I'll go back after I sell the herbs, and we won't be together."
Li Zhuzi replied: "Okay, I have to use the ox cart to transport some other things later, you go back first."
After the two parted ways, Li Jin didn't go to the other two hospitals, and walked straightly in the direction Li Zhuzi pointed.
Li Zhuzi's words were always based on experience, and it was much faster than blindly looking for him.
Besides, a medical clinic that can be opened on the main street must have power behind it, and there must be no shortage of his medicinal materials.
If you go to the remote medical center that Li Zhuzi mentioned, you might be able to sell the medicinal materials.
The apprentice of "Xinglintang" is carrying "Siwu Soup" on the back of the cabinet of burgundy lacquered wood. In the morning, there are few patients in the hospital, so he can read and learn something for a while.
At four o'clock (ten o'clock), the number of patients will gradually increase, and he has to go to the backyard to decoct medicine. He has to watch the fire all the time, and he has no time to read.
This apprentice's name is Zhou Gui. According to the name, the family hopes that he will become a noble in the future.
Zhou Gui heard the gradual sound of footsteps outside the door, and thought to himself, which family is sick and came early in the morning.
When he looked up, he saw an incomparably handsome face. Although the man was wearing coarse clothes, his hair was casually tied with ribbons.
But this person is tall and tall, and has a refined scholar demeanor that emerges from his demeanor.
Zhou Gui thought, this is a reader.
I thought again, how can readers be so handsome.
He didn't suspect that the person in front of him was a handsome brother. After all, this person was very tall. After raising the bamboo door curtain when entering the door, he had to bend his waist slightly to avoid his head being rubbed by the bamboo door curtain.
Furthermore, this man did not have any striking red moles on his face.
Must be a serious man.
Zhou Gui opened his mouth first: "Sir, your surname is yours, but you came to seek medical advice? My master is in the back hall, so I'll call him."
Li Jin said: "Don't ask your surname Li, you are not asking for medicine, but selling medicine. I wonder if your hospital needs it?"
Zhou Gui was stunned for a moment. The medicinal materials in their medical hall are specially collected from the mountains every year.
It's not that they don't accept loose medicines, it's just that many villagers can't tell the difference between herbs and weeds, and they don't even know how to extract medicines. As a result, the medicinal materials collected by the villagers are basically useless.
Zhou Gui was a little hesitant, he thought that this person was born rich. Although Mr. Li didn't dress very well, his whole body was full of noble aura.
Unexpectedly, this person came to sell medicine as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhou Gui was a little hesitant because of this person's face, but in the end, his appearance prevailed over his reason. He said, "Please take out the herbs and let me have a look. If they have been sorted and they are not damaged, I will ask Master to evaluate them."
Li Jin thanked, then took off the back basket, and then took out the bundles of sorted medicinal materials.
These herbs are still very fresh, and some are still stained with dewdrops.
Zhou Gui was stunned when he saw it—
Because there are not many kinds of medicinal herbs brought by Li Jin, but each herb has been handled well, and the bundles are well sorted.
"This is skullcap, cohosh... and this..."
Li Jin said, "Schisandra."
Zhou Gui thought to himself, fortunately, he hesitated for a while. Although the man in front of him was here to sell medicine, he had real skills!
These herbs are handled much better than the people employed by their infirmary!
For example, the root of Scutellaria baicalensis can be used as medicine, and the roots of each plant are intact!
And the size is even, all of them are top grade!
Zhou Gui didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly stood up straight, bent over to Li Jin, and said, "Sir, wait a moment, I'll go and call my master."
Li Jin nodded: "Thank you."
After a while, someone lifted the curtain separating the lobby and the inner courtyard and strode in.
Seeing the neatly arranged medicinal materials on the table, he said, "There is really Schisandra!"
The man looked like Li Jin after checking the medicinal materials.
I can't help feeling inside, what a handsome young man.
"Are these herbs picked by your Excellency?"
Li Jin nodded and said yes.
"All for sale?"
"right."
The man who was about forty years old thought for a moment and said, "My surname is Wu, it is a doctor from Xinglintang, I have accepted all these herbs.
According to the market price, a total of 300 yuan. But these herbs of yours are handled very well, no matter their appearance or shape. I will add ten more texts to you. "
So a total of three hundred and ten texts.
Li Jin received the money, thanked him, and was ready to leave.
Over there, Doctor Wu stopped him because of his birth: "Mr. Li, will you often take medicine in the future? If you are all like this, I can give you ten extra cents every time."
Li Jin stood still and discussed with Dr. Wu the frequency and quantity of medicinal materials to be provided in the future.
The two hit it off and agreed to provide herbal medicine to Xinglintang on the first day of the first half of each month.
This time, because of the lack of time, I picked a little less. Next time, Li Jin decided to prepare more.
After leaving Xinglintang, Li Jin's purse had changed from empty to 310 coins.
He couldn't help sighing that no matter at that time, knowledge was the most correct and fastest way to make money.
