Chapter 430: Just This Little Bit
Shen Qingqian nodded with a smile: "Okay, collect them today, and I will teach you how to prepare the herbs tomorrow."
After getting the promise, Shen Jun and others were full of energy and started working immediately. According to the method taught by Shen Qingqian, they collected the mature medicinal herbs from the ground.
Although Shen Qingqian was very sleepy, she was still busy with everyone else.
After the granary was burned, Shen Jun and Shen Shan were specially allowed to return home and live there. Today, they brought Shen Zhe and others with them.
The children were very sensible. They didn't say anything just now, but now they followed the adults, watching carefully what they did, and then carefully tried to help.
"Brother Zhe is awesome. Qi Xingzi just can't be uprooted." Shen Qingqian praised immediately after seeing Shen Zhe's actions.
Shen Zhe's eyes brightened when he was praised, and he became more motivated.
Seeing this, the other children also tried their best to get Shen Qingqian's praise. For a moment, the children's enthusiasm even exceeded that of the adults.
The land is not very big, and there are not that many medicinal herbs that can be harvested, so it was done in one morning.
At noon, everyone made do with the dry food they brought with them. Shen Qingqian secretly stuffed a few slices of dried meat into Shen Zhe and Shen Qin, and then ate whole-grain biscuits with the others as if nothing had happened.
Shen Qin was moved and said, "And Sixth Aunt loves us. She eats whole grain cakes herself, but shares the dried meat with us."
Shen Zhe paused holding the dried meat and said nothing.
He had seen with his own eyes a few days ago that his sister always carried various foods with her, and it was obvious that she was not short of them.
Although Shen Zhe didn't know where the things came from, it didn't stop him from following Shen Qingqian to benefit from it. Shen Qingqian would not eat alone. When conditions permitted, she would prepare special meals for Liang and Shen Zhe.
Shen Zhe has eaten this kind of dried meat many times.
As for his sister eating whole-grain bread, it was simply because she didn't want outsiders to know that she had food in her hands.
The people at the medicine field were eating dry food when Manager Yu from Jingrentang came over.
"Hey, Sixth Miss, why are you still eating dry food here? Old Hu is so rude that he doesn't even want to give you some good food."
The way he said this made it seem like Doctor Hu was abusing Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian swallowed the last bite of the pancake, greeted Shopkeeper Yu with a smile, and then said, "You misunderstood. We are in a hurry. It is more convenient to eat dry food."
Shopkeeper Yu chuckled a few times and then began to ask curiously, "I calculated the time. The medicine in your secret recipe greenhouse should be ready for harvest, right?"
"You came at the perfect time. Look over there, they were all harvested this morning." Shen Qingqian pointed to the fresh herbs piled on the ground.
When Shopkeeper Yu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he ran over.
"Wow, the quality of this medicine is very good!" Shopkeeper Yu said as he held a few herbs in his hands and couldn't let go.
What they harvested today were all common medicinal herbs. Not many were planted, and there were some seedlings growing in the ground, but Shen Qingqian didn't let anyone touch them.
"Sixth Miss, how many acres of land did you use to grow these?" After getting excited, Shopkeeper Yu asked the key question.
Shen Qingqian pointed at the secret recipe greenhouse and said, "You can go and take a look. I don't even know how much land we have planted."
The ancient method of measuring land area was slightly different from the modern method, and Shen Qingqian really didn't understand this.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yu strode towards the secret recipe shed.
When he saw the empty land, his jaw dropped. "How could such a small amount of land produce so many good medicines?"
