In the end, Feng Lingyu bought all the socks despite everyone's awkward looks.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Qingshu, Feng Lingyu went to the butcher's grocery store and bought some pork and bones.
Seeing that the pork was very good today, Yang Lemei also spent money to buy some.
She worked as a scorekeeper in the village and would get some money at the end of the year. Yang Jianguo and Liu Guihua did not look down on the girl's temper, and Yang Lemei kept all the money for herself.
"Le Mei, let's go to the purchasing station and have a look." Feng Lingyu thought about finding out the purchase price of the medicinal materials first.
Yang Lemei's mind worked quickly, and she became anxious when she heard this, "Xiao Yu, there really is no medicinal material in our village..."
The people of Qingshan Village all make their living by digging in the fields. At most, they have some hunting skills, but no one knows anything about medicinal herbs.
"No, there are a lot of medicinal herbs on Xiaoqing Mountain! Grandpa Zhao and I are acquainted, and I won't harm him." Since it was Feng Lingyu who caused Grandpa Zhao to lose his cooperation, she naturally had to help him solve this matter.
"I know all the common Chinese medicinal herbs and I also understand how to prepare them. Le Mei, if this thing works, Qingshan Village will definitely have a good New Year this year!"
Yang Lemei was deeply moved. She didn't expect Feng Lingyu to care about the people in the village.
"But, Mr. Zhao also said that we only have two months..." It was obvious that the amount of medicinal materials Zhao Qingshu wanted was very large, and even if the entire village put their efforts into it, they might not be able to achieve their goal.
"I have my own plans for this matter. Let's go ask about the price first."
As early as when Feng Lingyu made this suggestion, she had already thought about what to do next.
However, I have to discuss with Yang Jianguo after I go back about what to do specifically.
After arriving at the purchasing station, Feng Lingyu discovered that there were quite a few people selling herbs here.
However, most of them are processed very roughly and cannot be sold at a high price.
More than 90% of the medicinal herbs purchased here are sold to Danyang Medicinal Materials Factory.
The staff also said that Danyang Medicinal Materials Factory has its own medicinal material planting base, and the medicinal herbs collected here only account for about 30% of the raw materials for Danyang Medicinal Materials Factory.
"Xiao Yu, I didn't know these herbs were so valuable!" Yang Lemei was a little surprised after learning the price.
There were many herbs that she was familiar with, and they could be found everywhere on Xiaoqing Hill. She even thought they were weeds!
Feng Lingyu shook her head, her eyes calm, "What you see are all processed ones. Do you know how many fresh herbs you have to pick to get one kilogram of processed ones? More than 10 kilograms!"
The price of fresh herbs at the purchasing stations is extremely low. Most common herbs are only 20 or 30 cents per pound. The processed herbs are much more expensive. Those with better appearance can be sold for two yuan per pound.
This has increased tenfold.
After knowing the price of the herbs, Feng Lingyu and Yang Lemei casually bought some food, and then went to pick up Shen Huaiqing from school.
Looking at the watch, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. Feng Lingyu complained in his heart that primary school students nowadays finish school too early.
Shen Huaiqing walked out of the school gate with the children he met on the ox cart in the morning, chatting and laughing.
It can be seen that he adapted very well today.
"Sister Xiaoyu! Sister Lemei!" Everyone could hear the joy in Shen Huaiqing's tone.
"Hello, Sister Xiaoyu! Hello, Sister Lemei!" The children in the village also greeted Feng Lingyu and the others politely.
The group arrived at the place where they usually took the ox cart in a lively manner. The driver, Uncle Liu, was already waiting there.
After everyone sat down obediently, the old ox pulling the cart mooed twice, and the bell hanging around its neck made a crisp sound.
Along the way, apart from Grandpa Liu's occasional shouting, the only sound was the chattering of children.
They have made an appointment to go to the canal to catch loaches together this afternoon.
When the weather gets colder, we won’t be able to catch them.
Feng Lingyu thought Shen Huaiqing was going to go too, but he smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have other things to do this afternoon. Let's play together next time."
The children were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they didn't force him, "Okay then, we'll go to school together tomorrow!"
After returning to the village and saying goodbye to everyone, Feng Lingyu went home with Shen Huaiqing first.
Feng Lingyu didn’t buy pork ribs at the grocery store, so he took some out from his space on the way.
They are all wrapped in greaseproof paper, exactly the same as the packaging in grocery stores, and there is no difference at all.
Gao Xiaotao didn’t like eating spare ribs very much before, as she felt it was not as comfortable as eating pure meat. But after eating it a few times with Feng Lingyu, she gradually began to like eating spare ribs.
"Wow! There are spare ribs! There happen to be lotus roots in the lotus pond in the village. We can stew a lotus root and spare ribs soup!" Gao Xiaotao quickly figured out how to eat the spare ribs.
It seems that she has studied the recipe book of home cooking thoroughly, and can make whatever she wants to eat with ease.
"Huaiqing, do you like the shoulder bag I bought for you?"
Shen Huaiqing looked at the shoulder bag in his hand lovingly. The red five-pointed star on it looked very beautiful. He nodded repeatedly: "I like it very much. Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu!"
Seeing Shen Huaiqing showing some childishness, Feng Lingyu felt much better. "As long as you like it. By the way, I also bought a lot of socks. Five pairs for each of you. Come and ask me for more when you wear them out."
Gao Xiaotao didn't understand why she had to buy socks, but when she got the socks from Feng Lingyu, she understood instantly, "These socks are elastic! Xiaoyu, are they expensive?"
Gao Xiaotao usually wears the boots bought by Gao Dashu. Her biggest worry is that her socks always get bunched up. If she wore socks like the ones in her hand, she wouldn't have such a worry at all.
"fine……"
"By the way, is Tiedan feeling better?"
"Much better, but her complexion is still a little pale. When I went over today, Grandma Ge insisted on making me egg custard..." Gao Xiaotao knew that this was Ge Hongmei's simple way of expressing her gratitude.
The reason why Shen Huaiqing refused to play with other children today was that he wanted to accompany Tiedan. "Sister Xiaoyu, I want to go see Tiedan. I agreed with him before that I would lend him my comic book."
"Okay, go ahead and come back early for dinner." Feng Lingyu knew what Shen Huaiqing was thinking. He was just worried that Tiedan would be bored alone, so she agreed readily.
