Chapter 562: Preparing for the New Year (Part 3)
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that the Blood Wolf Organization had found a source of food. Although Zhang Xu could provide food for all the Blood Wolf members, this was not a long-term solution. She had been thinking about how to make the people of the Blood Wolf Organization self-reliant, and now she had a solution.
Lu Xiaoxiao decided to teach the people of the Blood Wolf Organization to identify medicinal herbs in the early spring. This way, they only need to take one or two days a month to dig medicinal herbs, which will provide them with food for the month.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?" The second sister saw that Lu Xiaoxiao didn't speak for a long time, so she asked.
"I was thinking about going up to the mountains to dig herbs and sell them in the spring."
"Do you know about medicinal herbs?" The second sister looked at Lu Xiaoxiao in surprise and asked.
“I only know a few simple ones.”
"It's amazing that you can recognize a few types." The second sister said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Let's go dig for medicinal herbs together in the spring."
"I'm not going. You go by yourself."
"Why?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister with a puzzled look on her face. In her opinion, her second sister was most interested in making money.
"You found this way to make money, I can't interfere, and the amount of medicinal herbs is very small. If I really go digging with you, you will make a lot less money."
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao burst out laughing, and then she said, "Second sister, who told you that the number of medicinal herbs is small?"
"No one needs to tell me this. If there are a lot of herbs, how could the purchase price be so high?"
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what her second sister said, she patted her on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about robbing me of my wealth, because the herbs I know are everywhere in the mountains."
The second sister was shocked when she heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then she asked with a trembling voice: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true."
"Xiaoxiao, how much money have I missed in the past? There was money all over the mountains and fields but I didn't even know to pick it up. I'm such a fool." The second sister said after slapping her head with her hand.
"You didn't know the medicinal herbs before, so you are not a fool."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister thought that Lu Xiaoxiao was right. She didn't pick the herbs before because she didn't know what they were, so she was not stupid. However, from today on, she must work hard to pick herbs and make up for what she had missed before.
"Xiaoxiao, can you also teach my children to recognize medicinal herbs?" Uncle Liu asked her after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"sure."
"Then Uncle Liu, thank you in advance."
"You're welcome, Uncle Liu. Didn't you say before that it's normal for fellow villagers to lend a hand? But it's best not to let too many people know about this, otherwise I'm afraid the herbs will be dug up and exterminated, and there will be no herbs to harvest in the future."
"I understand. I will definitely not tell anyone about this." Uncle Liu promised after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"I won't tell anyone either." The second sister quickly assured after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Um."
An hour later, the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the county town. After Lu Xiaoxiao got off the ox cart, she helped her second sister move the bamboo basket off the cart. Then she took out a pair of gloves from her bag, put them on, and walked towards the purchasing station with her second sister carrying the bamboo basket.
"Second sister, how much can this bamboo basket sell for?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister.
"A nickel a piece."
"So cheap?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked in disbelief.
"Well, but this bamboo basket doesn't cost anything, it just takes time. I'm already satisfied if I can sell one for five cents."
