Chapter 94: He is also good at selling bamboo baskets
Xiaomei saw that a few people were chatting, so she sat on a small stool and continued to process the herbs.
Hongyu saw Xiaomei squatting down and disappeared, so she stretched her head and saw a huge pot of vegetables!
"Xiaomei, what kind of vegetable are you picking? I've never seen it before."
Xiuhong also looked down and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know him either.
Xiaomei looked up and grinned: "This is a herbal remedy. My sister dug it up in the mountains this morning."
Xiuhong immediately squatted down to take a look. "Is this what we dug this morning? Xiaomei, what are you doing picking these herbal leaves for?"
Xiaomei told Xiuhong what Lin Qingqing had said to her.
Sister Xiuhong saw that she was talking so clearly and covered her mouth in surprise: "Xiaomei, you also know herbs? You know medicine?"
Xiaomei tilted her head and looked at Xiuhong: "My sister teaches you."
Xiuhong sat back on the stone bench. She took Lin Qingqing's arm and said excitedly, "Qingqing, did you know that the state-owned pharmacy in the county sells herbal medicine? I heard it's more than 20 cents per pound."
Lin Qingqing: "I picked it for my own use, I'm not selling it."
Hong Xi glanced at Lin Qingqing as if she wanted to say something, and Xiuhong was also rubbing the corner of her clothes.
Xiuhong blushed and spoke first: "Qingqing, if you are not busy, can you teach me and your sister-in-law Hongyu to identify herbs? We can make some ourselves and sell them in the county to buy some meat for the children."
Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? If you're willing to learn, I'd be happy to teach you. But it also depends on your talent. Some people just can't remember anything. And handling these herbs is also very troublesome."
Hearing that she was willing to teach, Xiuhong and Hongyi happily confirmed: "Are you really willing to teach?"
Lin Qingqing nodded.
Xiuhong stood up happily: "Oh, I really don't know how to thank you, Qingqing."
Hong Yu said, "Why don't we just give Qing Qing two cents every time we sell herbs?"
Lin Qingqing waved her hand hurriedly: "No, no, I'm going to buy something tomorrow. I'll also stop by the county's state-owned pharmacy to ask about their purchasing standards and prices. If the pharmacy really buys herbal medicine, it's not too late for you to learn."
The two of them wanted to earn some money to support their child, so of course she couldn't take the money.
"Okay." Xiuhong looked at Lin Qingqing with a smile on her face.
When I really make money in the future, I can buy meat for Qingqing.
"Sister-in-law, are you all here?"
Zhou Lie came in from outside carrying a bundle of thin bamboos. Seeing several sisters-in-law in the yard, he greeted them with a smile.
"Zhou Lie, what are you doing?" Hong Xi asked when she saw the bundle of bamboo.
"I made bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets for drying medicine, and bamboo baskets for my sister-in-law."
He placed the bamboo on the bluestone slab, breathing heavily, his entire back soaked with sweat.
"Xiaomei, please pour Zhou Lie a glass of cool well water. It's too hot."
Xiaomei put down the work in her hands, ran to the kitchen, and came out with a large enamel bowl of well water.
Zhou Lie: “…”
Xiaomei: "There's no cup left, so you can use the bowl." She explained, putting the bowl in Zhou Lie's hand.
"Thank you, Xiaomei." He raised his head and drank half a bowl of water, and then he seemed to come back to life.
Seeing Gou Wa sitting on the ground with his bare bottom, he said jokingly, "Gou Wa, doesn't your bottom hurt? There are ants living in the cracks in the rocks, and they love to bite children's bottoms and eat them."
Gou Wa was so scared that he quickly got up, tears almost falling from his eyes. He ran to Xiuhong with his butt raised high, asking her to see if there were any ants.
