Chapter 158: Teaching Sisters-in-law to Identify Herbs
In the afternoon, Lin Qingqing woke up from her nap. The sisters-in-law from the Eagle Claw Group were all in the yard. When they saw Lin Qingqing getting up, they all greeted her with a smile.
Lin Qingqing washed her face first and then went into the shed.
"Qingqing, get up. We are discussing how to combine the herbs." Li Xiuzhen said to her.
When Lin Qingqing came back in the morning, she gave the money from selling herbs to Xiuhong.
Xiuhong divided the money on the spot. Ye Zi and Hong Xi each got 17.3 yuan and 1.5 cents, and the three of them got 3.74 yuan each.
The first time they sold herbs, Xiuhong and Hongxi each received 9.9 yuan and 5 cents. In the past ten days, they earned 31 yuan.
This is much more than what my sister-in-law who works in a factory earns. That’s a lot of money she makes in a month.
When several sisters-in-law saw Sister-in-law Xiuhong sharing the money, their eyes sparkled. As soon as they finished their lunch, they put their children aside and came here to discuss how to cooperate and produce more.
Xiaomei, as the one with the fastest hand speed, was invited to participate in the discussion.
As the most sophisticated one among them, Chen Qiuchan was asked to express her ideas first. After watching the sisters-in-law's process of collecting and making medicine over the past two days, she put forward her own ideas.
"The price of Wodong leaves is high, so we will definitely go to get more leaves, which means we need to collect more herbs. Things like washing and drying the herbs will also be done by the sister-in-law who collects the herbs. This way, we don't have to go through other sisters-in-law, which saves time."
"Then the part of processing herbs can be divided again. For example, one person can be responsible for picking the leaves, and then people with fast hands can be selected to concentrate on processing the leaves." After saying this, she used her eyes to ask for the opinions of others.
The sisters-in-law were all a little surprised that the usually quiet Chen Qiuchan could be so resourceful and everything she said made sense.
Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "Why don't eight of you work together? Four of you will collect the herbs, and two each will pick the leaves and process them. That way, we can probably get about ten kilograms of leaves a day."
Yinghong clapped her hands and looked around at everyone: "That's it."
Hongxi thought about it and agreed: "The three yards in the back row are being used to dry the stalks. When the demand increases, there will be a lot of stalks coming out every day."
Xiaoli said, "Then I'll go pick herbs."
Zhou Cuifang pulled Wu Aizhu and said, "Let's come and pick herbs too."
Li Xiuzhen and Chen Qiuchan: "Let's pick some leaves." They had just learned how to make winter clothes, so they were sure that picking leaves would be the right choice.
Hongyi: "Then Xiaomei and I will take care of the leaves."
Xiuhong stood up and said, "Let me summarize it for you. Xiaoli, Yinghong, Aizhu, and Cuifang will collect herbs, wash them, and dry them in the sun. Xiuzhen and Qiuchan will pick leaves. Xiaomei and Hongyi will process the leaves."
Everyone nodded.
Yinghong: "Then let's try it this afternoon." After saying that, she picked up her backpack and went up the mountain. The other three people who were picking herbs also came over and carried their backpacks up the mountain.
There was a circle of people just now, and suddenly half of them are gone.
Xiaomei and Hongyi went to process the leaves, Li Xiuzhen and Chen Qiuchan picked the leaves into baskets, and threw the stems into sacks. When the sister-in-law who went to pick herbs came back and went up the mountain, they took them to the back yard to dry.
Everyone was full of energy and busy with their own work.
Xiuhong and Lin Qingqing sat under the pergola and talked about the problems they would encounter when they started teaching her sister-in-law about herbal medicine tomorrow.
......
Early the next morning, the sisters-in-law in the family compound came to the gate after breakfast and waited for Lin Qingqing to come.
Lin Qingqing arrived at 7:30 with the registration list in her hand and nothing else.
