"After all, Miaomiao exchanged a lot of things this time, maybe because the pharmacy urgently needs these herbs. The price may drop in the future, and I can at least make two or three yuan."
"Now that the autumn harvest is over, the villagers are preparing to stockpile food for the winter. If we can mobilize the villagers to go up the mountain to find medicinal materials, prepare them in a unified way and sell them in the market, we may be able to survive this winter." Old Man Zhao explained to Wang Hongjie in detail the purpose of his visit.
"This... is this money really earned from selling those medicinal herbs in the village?" Wang Hongjie looked at Su Miaomiao with some disbelief.
"Of course, I can't joke about these things." Su Miaomiao nodded.
Wang Hongjie instantly felt that he saw a ray of hope in his desperate situation.
A few kids can earn 5 yuan a week. If the whole village sets out together, it doesn't matter how much they can earn, but at least they can double it.
There are still two months left before winter. If everyone works hard, we may be able to earn around 100 yuan in these two months.
With these 100 yuan, the villagers might really be able to survive this winter.
Wang Hongjie's fingertips were trembling with excitement, and soon he had another idea.
He looked at Su Miaomiao nervously: "But...can you guarantee that they will accept the herbs we collect?"
"Medicinal materials are in short supply at any time. As long as we control the quality, we won't have to worry about no one buying them." Su Miaomiao said with confidence.
To put it another way, even if no one wants to buy it, she still has ways to make those people buy it.
Then I'll take out a prescription and tell them that if they want the prescription they must buy the medicinal materials prepared in their village.
She took to heart what Wang Hongjie had just said.
If no way out is found, few people in Shimatou Village will be able to survive this winter.
Su Miaomiao recalled the old people she had seen sitting at their doorsteps with numb faces in the village.
I think of those little kids who would lick even the candy wrappers clean.
She...wanted to help them.
More importantly, if we help them, their family will have a better life in the village in the future.
The Huo family are all intelligent people with knowledge and means. We can't let them stay in this village picking corn cobs all their lives.
She had to accumulate some prestige in the village to facilitate her future actions.
"I feel relieved when you say this. I will go and call all the villagers to hold a meeting now!" Su Miaomiao's words gave Wang Hongjie a reassurance. His original melancholy was swept away. He got down from the kang directly and planned to go to the village loudspeaker to notify everyone of the meeting.
In a moment, the voice of the village chief was heard throughout the entire Shimatou Village.
"Please hold a meeting under the old locust tree immediately. There is an important announcement and no one is allowed to be absent."
Wang Hongjie repeated it three times. The villagers listened to the radio and rushed to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village with small stools and palm-leaf fans.
Su Miaomiao went with Wang Hongjie and Old Man Zhao.
When they left, everyone in the village was gone.
They were sitting together in groups of three or four, chatting and joking.
During the autumn harvest some time ago, everyone was very busy. Now that the harvest is finally over, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Everyone thought that this meeting was to discuss the next grain distribution, so everyone had a smile on their face.
But when they saw Su Miaomiao and Old Man Zhao following Wang Hongjie, there was a hint of surprise on their faces.
Some sensitive people have already noticed that this conference might have something important to announce.
Wang Hongjie walked to the front of the crowd, feeling disappointed as he looked at the group of villagers in front of him, each of whom was pale and skinny.
As soon as I thought about what I was about to announce, I felt strong again.
