Chapter 83: Money Making Team (I)
Xia Daohua chuckled and said, "Guess."
Lihua could no longer suppress the upward curve of her lips. She could tell from Xia Daohua's expression and tone that she must have succeeded.
She looked at Goro, who smiled at her and nodded.
Lihua was so happy that she picked up Xia Daohua and spun around several times on the spot.
Xia Daohua was frightened by Lihua's move. Although she knew that this sister was very strong, the feeling of sudden weightlessness was too exciting!
Lihua put Xia Daohua, who was complaining about being dizzy, down and began to walk around in circles: "Hey, where should I hide?"
Wu Lang offered some suggestions: "How about the kang hole?"
Lihua shook her head repeatedly:
"No, no, if you want to hide silver, you can put it in the kang hole. But this thing is very delicate! If you put it in the kang hole, it will be damaged by smoke or burns, what should I do?"
"Hide it behind the pile of firewood?" Wu Lang offered another suggestion.
"No, ever since the black-robed official came last time, Second Auntie has been walking around the firewood pile every day. She was lucky twice and found two handfuls of soybeans. I don't know who hid them."
Xia Daohua smiled secretly in her heart, because she was the one hiding it.
Seeing Sun digging firewood every day, she felt sorry for her, so she secretly put some fried soybeans in her food. If Sun didn't find out, it would be good to feed the chipmunks.
Seeing that Lihua was so anxious that sweat started to form on the tip of her nose, Xia Daohua quickly took over the conversation:
"Why don't I keep it? No one can find the things I hide."
Lihua rolled her eyes at her and said, "How are you hiding in such a big basket?"
Xia Daohua smiled a little mischievously:
"Who said I was going to hide such a big basket? This basket is put out in the open for people to see. As for where I hid it, don't ask me. Don't worry, sister, no one can find the things I hide except myself."
Lihua hesitated for a moment and nodded.
So they lifted up the wild vegetables and weeds on top of the basket and took out a cloth bag from it.
There were two skinny little ginsengs in the cloth bag.
There is still soil on the roots, and it looks very fresh, but it is a little smaller, not as big as the one that Xia Daohua gave to Doctor Wang at Pujitang last time.
Lihua's face was full of joy, Wulang was also smiling, and Xia Daohua smiled slightly, but what she was thinking in her heart was that this ginseng was very cheap, and she bought it at the factory price, which was only thirty yuan per stick.
Of course, the medicinal effect is slightly weaker than that of wild ginseng.
So this time she didn't plan to harm Pujitang. She just took it to the pawnshop to exchange for money.
In fact, there are some barriers to entry when making health products.
Although this ginseng is not as good in appearance as the one she took out last time, and its medicinal effect is not as good as pure wild ginseng, it contains all the effective ingredients.
It’s just that the age is not that sufficient, and because of human intervention, it grows faster than wild ginseng.
I'll find a suitable opportunity and ask Sister Taohua to take it to the pawn shop or the herbal medicine shop to ask for the price.
If the price is not too outrageous, they will sell it from the pawnshop. If the pawnshop pushes the price too low, they will sell it to the herbal medicine shop or the passing herbal medicine dealer.
In short, just avoid Puji Hall.
It’s not that Xia Daohua didn’t want to do business with Pujitang anymore, it’s just that she had already given Doctor Wang a ginseng last time, and it might be a bit too ostentatious to give him another ginseng this time.
"Third Aunt, you're here!"
Linghua's clear voice instantly woke up the three kids in the room who were huddled together and smiling silly.
Lihua was the first to react. She stood up suddenly and bumped her head with Goro with a "bang".
“Ouch!”
Lihua couldn't help but cry out in pain, and Goro managed to hold it back, but he also grimaced in pain.
Xia Daohua burst out laughing, and despite the somewhat "resentful" looks from Lihua and Wulang, she quickly wrapped up the two ginsengs as they were and stuffed the cloth bag into Zi's sleeve.
The cuffs looked a little unnatural at first, bulging and obviously stuffed with something. Xia Daohua calmly raised her hand and stretched the cuffs twice, and the cuffs quickly returned to being flat.
Rika and Goro were stunned.
It was the first time they saw Xia Daohua's technique and they couldn't help but marvel at it.
Lihua even reached out to touch Xia Daohua's sleeve, but she only touched Xia Daohua's arm.
She hissed in surprise and took a breath.
Xia Daohua smiled slightly and did not explain.
At this moment, Wu had already pushed the door open and came in:
"Hey, what are you guys doing? Why are you digging up all the wild vegetables and weeds?"
"Hey, Lihua! What's wrong with your forehead? Why is there such a big bump? Did you fall? Did you hit someone? Or did someone hit you? Did Sanlang bully you?"
Lihua rubbed the bump on her head shyly and smiled very embarrassedly:
"Oh, Third Aunt, you misunderstood! It's all my own fault for being careless... I just tripped over this wicker basket and ended up bumping into Wu Lang."
Wu Lang also rubbed the bump on his forehead with an embarrassed look on his face, and smiled helplessly at Wu.
Wu tutted twice:
"Hey, Lihua, Wulang, how old are you? Why are you still so careless? Why don't you teach your sister a lesson? Where's your mother?"
Lihua and Wulang were criticized in person, but neither of them took it to heart with Wu.
Although this third aunt-in-law is a bit of a gossip and has a bad temper, she is not a bad person at all.
Lihua rubbed the big bump on her forehead while talking to Wu:
"Third Aunt, please sit down. I'll pour you some water. My mother has gone to see my Fifth Aunt. What do you want to see her for?"
Wu smiled and said:
"Then I'll wait for her for a while.
You better stop struggling and just take a rest! Poor thing, ouch, it must be hurting! I feel dizzy just looking at it!
Besides, I don’t have hands. Can’t I pour water myself when I want to drink it?”
Lihua was scolded by Wu, but she couldn't get angry with her:
"Okay, Third Aunt, please sit down first. I'll get some purslane to apply on your skin."
Lihua grabbed a purslane from the upside-down wicker basket on the ground, cut off the roots, mashed the leaves into a green paste, and applied it on the bump on her forehead.
Although purslane has bactericidal effects, it is not very suitable for external application to relieve pain, but it can be used to deal with the problem.
After Lihua applied the cream on herself, she also put some on Wulang.
Mrs. Wu looked at the two children and felt that it was not nice to laugh. She couldn't hold back and simply stood up and left.
"I'll come back later! You two should take a good rest. If you don't feel comfortable, don't force yourself to do it. You must tell your mother, understand?"
"I know. Take care, Third Aunt."
The three children responded in unison, and Wu smiled: "You guys are of one mind."
Not long after Wu left, Jiang came back.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the green mud on Wulang and Lihua's foreheads: "Hey, Wulang, Lihua, what happened to you?"
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
