Chapter 197 Tell the Lei Family

The last time Feng Xing and Feng Tao followed the villagers to the Lei family, they had similar interests with the girls in the Lei family.

This time, when he saw the four people coming down, he secretly advised: "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, let Aunt Liu and Auntie go and talk about their own things. The two of us will take you to walk around the village!"

The four members of the Lei family, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, looked at Liu Cuihua expectantly.

Liu Cuihua looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going, and thought to herself, how could these few children have ever seen so many people?

He warned: "You can't run far, and you can't take anyone to the mountain without permission, okay? Wait until your brothers come with you before you can take them up the mountain."

Life in the mountains is no joke. Snakes and wasps are enough to cause trouble.

The children in their family, both boys and girls, have been running all over the mountains since they were young, so they are not afraid. However, the people in the village came from the plains and have no idea about the dangers in the mountains.

"I know!" the four responded in unison.

Liu Cuihua waved her hand and said, "Go and play, but don't play too long. Come find me later with Tao'er and Xing'er."

The six little girls ran away chirping happily like little sparrows.

Liu Cuihua shook her head and said with a smile: "Girls from the mountains are used to having no rules. They act like boys. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Shen Qing said seriously: "This is the best. If the rules don't restrict men, then there's no need to apply them to women."

Many shackles are designed only for women, but once you ignore them or break free, you will find that life will be easier.

Liu Cuihua's eyes showed even more love for Shen Qing!

She took Shen Qing's hand and crossed the bridge. Seeing the slices drying outside Shen Qing's house, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this? Is it edible?"

"You can eat it, but not as food, but as medicine." Shen Qing replied.

When Liu Cuihua heard that it was medicine, she first thought that someone in Shen Qing's family was sick and needed medicine. She felt worried and distressed, but then she saw the quantity and thought it was impossible. However, if it was medicinal herbs, shouldn't she avoid suspicion?

After all, the medicines bought in the city are very expensive!

What she fears most is someone in her family getting sick.

Seeing Liu Cuihua stop, Shen Qing said, "It's okay. I was going up to talk to you about the medicinal herbs."

Liu Cuihua turned her head and looked at Shen Qing in surprise.

Shen Qing opened the cloth bag he was carrying, revealing green branches, green and yellow pods, and a few root-like things inside.

Shen Qing explained how to identify Astragalus, how to process Astragalus and the purchase price of Astragalus, and finally explained Mr. Jiang's proposal.

Liu Cuihua was already extremely surprised when she heard Shen Qing talking about medicinal herbs. When she heard that it was seventy cents per pound, she suspected that she had heard it wrong. Could such an important and confidential matter be told to an outsider like her?

Finally, when he heard Master Jiang asking him to bury the seeds in the soil while digging, he agreed very much and nodded heavily passively.

After Shen Qing finished speaking, seeing that Liu Cuihua was still in a daze, he could only ask: "You are familiar with the mountains, have you seen this?"

Liu Cuihua came back to her senses from the shock, opened her mouth, and took a while to find her voice: "I have seen it! It turns out to be its root.

I used to think it was useless. It didn't look good, the fruit was inedible, the roots were bitter and astringent, and you couldn't extract the pulp to make food. It was completely useless."

Moreover, it is only about one meter high. It is not worth cutting and using as firewood because it is not durable. It also blocks the way when walking in the mountains and forests, making it difficult to walk.

Who would have thought this was actually a medicinal herb? And it's worth 70 coins per pound when dried?

She just felt confused. My God, how much money they had wasted in the past.

Shen Qing added, "It's only the end of August, and there's still more than a month of harvest left. You don't need to build a house and can focus on digging. You can earn no less than us."

It may even be more, after all, it takes a long time.

Liu Cuihua blinked and looked at Shen Qing, wanting to ask why he didn't dig such precious medicinal herbs himself and how he could tell outsiders about them?

Then he thought that Shen Qing was thinking about their Lei family and wanted to help the Lei family so that they could live a good life!

"I, I"

"By the way, I don't like the Cao family very much, so it's best not to tell them." Shen Qing warned.

Liu Cuihua's confused mind suddenly cleared up, and she assured him, "Don't worry, we won't tell you even if you don't tell us!"

They not only dislike the Cao family, they hate it to the extreme!

In the entire Cao family, only the eldest son Cao Junzhu is good, but this goodness has long been drowned out by his grandmother, second brother and younger brother.

She now doesn't want to deal with Mrs. Cao at all, and even talking to her is annoying!

"I memorized what astragalus looked like, and then I dug some up in the mountains and brought it back. I buried the seeds directly to prevent the Cao family from finding them."

No wonder Shen Qing put her in a cloth bag when he went up the mountain to look for her. It turned out that he was afraid that Mrs. Cao would see her!

She will have to be as cautious as Shen Qing in the future.

Shen Qing was relieved and urged, "Hurry up and dig. Every extra pound you dig will earn you dozens of coins. Don't waste time."

Liu Cuihua turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered what she had brought with her. She took off the basket on her back, took out a rough earthenware jar from it and handed it forward: "Look at my memory!

This is the honey that the headmaster and Dafu have harvested from the rock wall. It is very sweet and worthless, but I gave it to you to sweeten your mouth."

Shen Qing absolutely does not agree with the statement "not worth money"!

Because her mall reminded her that this was pure wild honey, which cost three hundred and fifty yuan per pound, and there were a full twenty pounds in the coarse earthenware jar!

Twenty kilograms, this jar is worth seven thousand yuan!

And it seems that the mall really wants it, because it sent her several messages in a row, asking her to buy more wild honey and get extra rewards!

Shen Qing looked at the rough earthenware jar with eyes that almost lit up, and asked with difficulty: "Do you have any more at home? How many pounds are left?"

Then he realized what was happening and hurriedly explained, "I'll trade it with rice and flour! One pound of honey for thirty pounds, no, fifty pounds of rice or flour, is that okay?"

Liu Cuihua didn't understand and said, "What are you talking about? The ones cut from the stone wall don't cost money to buy. Every year we can cut hundreds of catties, and at fifty coins a catty, if we sell them all, each of the three families can get more than one or two taels of silver.

You give me 50 kilograms of rice or flour for every kilogram, and you're saying this, this, I don't know what to say."

Fifty kilograms of rice or flour can almost buy ten kilograms of honey at the price of one kilogram.

"You sell such a rare and good thing every year?" Shen Qing also didn't understand.

And it’s sold so cheaply!

The mall is still better. One kilogram can buy more than 170 kilograms of fine grains. She was afraid that the high price would scare Liu Cuihua, but the 50 kilograms still scared her.

Liu Cuihua nodded. It’s fifty cents a pound. How can I not sell it?

The reason I gave Shen Qing a jar today was because I just found out when I went to the cloth shop in the city a few days ago that the cloth Shen Qing gave me was fine cotton cloth!

A whole horse was worth two taels of silver, and their previous return gifts were far less than that.

Here is some fresh honey, please send it over quickly.

Shen Qing straightened his back and said, "Give me the exchange. One hundred kilograms of honey for five hundred kilograms of refined grains. But we have to make sure it's refined grains, not coarse grains or miscellaneous grains."

Because coarse grains are too expensive in the mall, they are one or two times more expensive than refined grains!
