Chapter 90 Craftsmanship (Part 3)
Jiang Yunmian said: "Not only does the clinic buy medicinal materials, but also some merchants from other places come here to buy medicinal materials."
"I heard they buy it from us at a low price, then sell it to local clinics in prosperous cities, making a profit in the middle."
"It's like the harvest season. Many people come to the villages to collect grain, then sell it to grain stores and make a profit."
"Although we all know this, it will save everyone trouble."
Although Jiang Yunmian is only eight years old, she is lively and cheerful, good at observing and inquiring about things, and knows a lot.
"It would be great if I knew more about medicinal herbs. I could pick more and sell more to supplement my family income."
Jiang Yunmian's eyes sparkled when he talked about medicinal herbs.
Jiang Yunhua was a bit introverted and shy, so she didn't talk much and just stayed quietly by the side, listening.
Seeing that there is not much water left in the cup, I quickly add more water.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the way Fifth Sister's eyes sparkled when she talked about medicinal herbs and said, "Fifth Sister, do you want to learn about medicinal herbs?"
"Of course I do, but no one would accept a girl as an apprentice. The pharmacists in the clinic only accept boys, and you need connections to become an apprentice."
"Auntie Zhou from our village wanted to send Tian Geng to be an apprentice, but no one would accept him, no matter what."
Jiang Yunmian knew very well that it was not easy for her to learn something.
She even wanted to let her third sister learn embroidery, but learning embroidery from an embroiderer would cost several hundred coins a month.
She felt that her third sister always kept her head down and didn't dare look at people because of her face. Her third sister was thirteen years old now and would be married in two years.
She thought that if her third sister had a skill that could make money, it would be easier for her to get into her husband's family, and they would not be so easily disgusted with her disfigurement.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at her fifth sister, who looked like a little adult at such a young age, and suddenly a worried look appeared on her face. She touched her hair and said, "Don't worry, Yunhua's face will be fine."
"I've seen a doctor's prescription before. As long as I find all the herbs, I can cure Yun Hua's face."
When Jiang Zhiluo said this, Jiang Yunhua and Jiang Yunmian looked at her excitedly, "Sister, is it really possible? Can Third Sister's face really be cured?"
Jiang Zhiluo was sure of this, but there were two very precious medicinal herbs that the clinic did not have, and even if they were found, they would be very expensive.
So for now, there is no way to treat Jiang Yunhua's face.
And more wood-related abilities are needed.
The scar on Jiang Yunhua's face was really too deep, and to heal it required the combination of wood-based abilities and medicinal herbs.
"It's really possible. Don't you believe what my sister said?"
Jiang Yunmian said excitedly: "Believe it, believe it."
"Sister is the best. She taught dad how to make malt sugar. Every time we go to the market, we can earn dozens of coins."
"The bellows my sister taught my father to make are also very useful and can be sold for money."
Jiang Yunmian looked at Jiang Zhiluo with admiration.
Jiang Yunhua's dim eyes suddenly brightened up, as if they were suddenly injected with the light of hope.
Jiang Zhiluo thought to herself that her third sister was only thirteen years old and would be coming of age in two years. Before that, she would definitely earn enough money to buy the key medicinal herbs to cure her face.
The three sisters were talking to each other.
When talking about medicinal herbs, Jiang Zhiluo seemed to think of something and said, "In this season, if you want to pick medicinal herbs, you can pick Pueraria root."
Some common medicinal herbs are only available in autumn, but there should be kudzu root in the mountains during this season.
Jiang Yunhua and Jiang Yunmian were both a little confused.
"Sister, what is Pueraria root?"
They had never heard of kudzu root.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Kuzu root is a medicinal herb and can also be used as food."
I don't know whether the clinic recognizes the medicinal herb Pueraria lobata and whether they will accept it.
But even if you don't harvest it, you can still eat the Pueraria root you dig out.
In this era, the variety of food we eat on a daily basis is too limited.
The kudzu root can be ground into powder and mixed with grains to make pasta, or it can be brewed and eaten as a brew, which is also good for health.
Jiang Yunhua and Jiang Yunmian had never seen kudzu root powder before and were confused. But when they heard that it was edible, they became excited.
Jiang Zhiluo drew something on the ground with charcoal. "This is what a kudzu leaf looks like. It's probably like this after it's dug out. This is kudzu..."
Jiang Zhiluo explained the shape of the leaves and how to identify them.
Jiang Yunhua and Jiang Yunmian listened attentively.
"Sister, when we go up the mountain again, we will be more careful."
"In the past, we didn't pay attention to such leaves because if we didn't know, we wouldn't dare pick them casually, fearing that some leaves might be poisonous."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Yes, there are many dangers on the mountain, so you should be careful."
"Also, after the rain, you can pick some wild mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms in the mountains..."
After the rain, you can pick more mountain products on the mountain.
Xingshan Village is built on the mountain, with several mountain ranges behind it, where you can pick a lot of things.
Jiang Zhiluo talked about this with her two younger sisters, and they all took note of it, thinking that they would pick these things after the rain.
You can make soup and cook dishes when you come back.
As evening approached, the rain subsided a little and Jiang Xiangchuan, Jiang Yunshu and Jiang Yunzheng returned.
Three people holding one umbrella.
The umbrella was not big, so in order to protect the three of them from getting wet, Jiang Xiangchuan carried ten-year-old Jiang Yunzheng on his back, and Jiang Yunzheng helped hold the umbrella for his father and second brother.
When they came back, only their shoes were wet and their arms were a little wet, but their hair and bodies were dry.
So everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was very happy to see Jiang Zhiluo come back.
After a short chat, Jiang Xiangchuan said, "The owner of the blacksmith shop is very grateful to us. He said that with the bellows, they can forge tools much faster. They originally took on a job and almost couldn't complete it on time, but now they have the bellows, they are no longer afraid."
"He first bought our bellows and said it was very useful."
At first, the owner of the blacksmith shop came to their house to buy a bellows. Jiang Xiangchuan's family only had one bellows, so the owner bought it on the spot and ordered six more bellows.
The shopkeeper who bought it on the spot used it in his blacksmith shop and it was very useful.
Jiang Yunzheng said, "It was raining heavily when we were about to come back. The shopkeeper asked us to take shelter in the shop and told us to come back when the rain subsided."
"The shopkeeper even poured us tea. It was my first time drinking tea."
Jiang Yunzheng said excitedly.
"It turns out that even blacksmiths can afford tea."
Tea is usually very expensive and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to buy or drink.
Jiang Yunzheng was thinking about becoming a blacksmith at this time.
However, he also knew that no one would hire those who had no power or influence as apprentices.
So Jiang Yunzheng could only suppress his inner thoughts.
However, from the way Jiang Zhiluo looked at her brother, she probably knew that he had some thoughts about doing blacksmith work.
For the people in the village, if they have a skill, they will become a respectable person in the whole village.
Because I have skills, I don’t have to worry about going hungry.
