Chapter 228 Missing Mom
"Wife, please stop picking them up. If they're not enough, I'll pick them up later." Gu Yan said with concern.
"It's okay, my waist hurts a little from being bent over all the time. I'll be fine after a rest." Li Wanqing is not a delicate person.
Besides, Gu Yan hasn’t had an easy time these days.
"Why are you still picking up duck eggs when your waist hurts? Just sit down and take a rest. How much can a few duck eggs sell for? It's not worth your hard work.
Our family is not short of money, and I am here at home, so you don't need to work so hard." Gu Yan said.
"I won't let myself get tired. You just go and do your own thing and don't worry about me. If you don't catch wild ducks anymore, you can collect the bison and sheep for our own food." Li Wanqing said.
Li Wanqing also knew that her family was not short of money, but she was addicted to picking duck eggs and could not stop once she started.
I always feel like I would be at a loss if I don’t pick up so many duck eggs and put them in my basket.
Seeing that Li Wanqing refused to listen, Gu Yan could only helplessly let her do as she pleased.
The two stayed for another two days. Gu Yan collected all the buffaloes and sheep that he wanted to eat, and then the two prepared to go back.
On the way back, I would still kill any pheasants or rabbits I encountered and put them into my space. I also didn't let go of any dead trees I encountered and put them into my space as well.
The two of them collected as they walked, and finally returned home a month later.
"Hengheng, Mom is back. Come and see what good things I brought you." When Li Wanqing returned home, the first thing she went to see her son was.
"Hmph," Hengheng's eyes turned red with grievance when he saw Li Wanqing, and then he thought of how his parents abandoned him at home and went out without him.
The little boy pouted his little mouth, turned his little head, and turned away without looking at her.
Li Wanqing had no choice but to continue coaxing: "Hey, whose child is this? You can hang a bottle of oil on his mouth.
Alas, I have cherries here, but I don’t know if my son likes them or not.”
As Li Wanqing was speaking, she saw Hengheng's little eyes glance at her secretly, then quickly turned away.
"Oh, it seems he doesn't like to eat it. I'd better give it to other children." Li Wanqing made a gesture to leave.
"Wow~, Mom~" Hengheng finally couldn't help crying.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. I brought this specifically for you. How could I give it to someone else?
Come, let mommy hug you. Do you miss me? " Li Wanqing opened her arms and waited for Hengheng to rush over.
"Mom~" Hengheng threw himself into Li Wanqing's arms with grievance.
"Hey, didn't mom tell you? Mom and your dad are going to make money, you just wait at home obediently." Li Wanqing hugged her son and patted his back gently to comfort him.
"But...but I miss my mother." Hengheng said with a hum.
"Okay, mom gets it. Come, try it. These are cherries. They are so sweet." Li Wanqing took out cherries and gave them to Hengheng to eat.
Children are easy to coax. They will immediately forget their grievances when they have something delicious.
"So sweet," Hengheng ate one and couldn't help but eat two more.
"Is it delicious? Mom thinks it's delicious too." Li Wanqing also pinched a cherry and put it in her mouth.
Ancient times were different from modern times. Fruits were available anytime and anywhere. After a long winter, it is so comfortable to be able to eat fresh fruits.
"Madam, what should we do with these pheasants and rabbits?" Aunt Qiu came over and asked.
This time they brought back a lot of pheasants and rabbits. They definitely couldn't finish eating all of them if they were all fresh.
"Let's make it into cured chicken and cured rabbit. Leave the beef for stewing and make the rest into beef jerky." Li Wanqing said.
"Okay, I'll go right away. I'll stew chicken soup and fry a rabbit tonight." After saying that, Aunt Qiu hurried to work.
When Xuanxuan came back in the evening, there was naturally another round of affection. Neither of the two children wanted to go back to their own rooms at night.
Li Wanqing let them do as they pleased. The two children must have felt insecure after not seeing their parents for a month.
Only after the two children fell asleep did the couple have time to discuss things.
"Wife, we harvested more than 20 plants of Resurrection Grass from the valley this time. Can you see them with Manager Liu?" Gu Yan said.
"What do you mean? We are indeed not short of Resurrection Grass, even if we don't count the new ones found in the valley.
"It turns out I have over a hundred plants in my space. I'm just worried that if I give them this time, there will be trouble in the future," Li Wanqing said anxiously.
They had originally agreed not to give it to him, but after going to the mountains and reading Miao Yitong's manuscript, Gu Yan softened his heart again.
They clearly had medicinal herbs, but they watched the patients die. These two kind-hearted ordinary people felt guilty.
Li Wanqing was mainly reluctant to give up the 50,000 taels of silver.
Fifty thousand taels, that's a full fifty thousand taels. She felt a little distressed to be asked to give it up just like that.
"Why don't we sell them one? But we have to make it clear to them first. If they sell us out again, no one will come to ask for medicine again in the future." Gu Yan said.
"That's fine. We have Miao Yitong's manuscript, which contains many folk remedies.
I thought I should study hard. I already know how to make medicine, so it shouldn't be difficult for me to prepare the medicine according to the prescription.
"I'll specialize in selling effective finished medicines from now on. This should make more money than just selling medicinal herbs," Li Wanqing said.
The medicinal materials used in folk remedies are mostly precious, and ordinary people may not be able to use them.
But Li Wanqing can do it, because she has plenty of good medicinal herbs in her space.
Hundred-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, seven-leaf gentian, herb of resurrection, bergamot ginseng, saffron, Gastrodia elata...
Li Wanqing has them all in her space, and they are all very old.
“If you’re interested, go for it, but just do something precious and life-saving.
This way I can earn money without getting tired. When the time comes, I can learn along with you. Even if I can't learn it, I can help you." Gu Yan rarely objected to Li Wanqing's decisions.
"Let's wait and see. I don't lack medicinal herbs anyway." Li Wanqing said.
"Then what should we say to Manager Liu?" Gu Yan asked again.
"Let's wait and see tomorrow and see what Manager Liu says. Anyway, we can't rush into it." Li Wanqing was also a little conflicted.
As a result, before the next day, Manager Liu came and knocked on the door tonight.
"Manager Liu, what are you doing?" Uncle Wang and Aunt Qiu lived in the gatehouse. When they heard someone knocking on the door, they came out sleepily to open it.
"Old Wang, has your master come back?" Shopkeeper Liu asked breathlessly while clinging to the door frame.
"I'm back. I'm home tonight. Manager Liu, what's going on?" Uncle Wang asked in confusion.
"Did your master bring back the herbs? Forget it, just go and inform him, I have something urgent to discuss with him." Shopkeeper Liu said anxiously.
"Then Manager Liu, please wait a minute. I'll go call our master." Uncle Wang knew at a glance that Manager Liu had something urgent to do and didn't dare to delay him.
"Go quickly, go quickly." After saying this, Shopkeeper Liu sat down on the steps without caring about his image.
