The two of them chatted and soon reached the back mountain. This was the first time that Tang Shiyan had such a pleasant chat with an educated youth.
When they reached the back mountain, they put down their backpacks, took out their small hoes and began to look for medicinal herbs.
Tang Shiyan brought Jiang Qingyan with her. She needed to give her more guidance today, otherwise she would have to hand over this difficult task to her.
"Jiang Zhiqing, you must remember the names and effects of the herbs I'm about to tell you. Starting tomorrow, you will lead everyone in the search for herbs."
"You must remember how to teach them how to pick and identify medicinal herbs. You can't make any mistakes."
Okay, Comrade Tang, I brought a small notebook and pen today. I will write down every kind of medicinal herb you mentioned in the notebook.
"This way, nothing can go wrong. I know this task is difficult, so I am fully prepared."
Tang Shiyan said to the others, "Aunts, please follow Lin Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing and go look over there first."
"Lin Zhiqing also knows some medicinal herbs. He will teach you. My main purpose today is to teach Jiang Zhiqing."
"Tomorrow, Jiang Zhiqing will lead everyone to look for medicinal herbs. I hope you will cooperate with her."
"Otherwise, you'll just have to go back to work and earn those few work points to support yourselves. Some of you might not even be able to support yourself."
Everyone said in unison: "Tang girl, we will definitely study hard and follow Jiang Zhiqing's instructions."
"We don't want to live a life where we can't even get enough food to eat and our children can't go to school."
"We can't let the child continue to suffer with us. Don't worry, Tang girl, we will never let you down."
"It was you who gave us the idea to make money, so we must cherish it."
"Well then, Lin Zhiqing, I'll trouble you to lead us today."
Lin Yifei: "Comrade Tang, it's okay. Since you think highly of me, I will definitely lead everyone to find medicinal herbs and make money."
"Uh-huh."
"Jiang Zhiqing, let's start looking for medicinal herbs."
"Okay, Comrade Tang."
While looking for medicinal herbs, the two of them explained them to Jiang Zhiqing.
"This is Chinese yam, which has the effects of detoxifying, removing dampness, and opening up joints."
"This is purslane, which has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding."
"This is red peony root, which has the effect of removing blood stasis, relieving pain, and clearing liver fire."
"This is Cassia seed, which has the effects of clearing the liver, improving eyesight, and moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements."
"This is Prunella Vulgaris, which has the effects of clearing liver fire, improving eyesight, lowering blood pressure, and dispersing lumps and reducing swelling."
"There are also coptis root, huangling, phellodendron, sophora flavescens, gentian, isatis root, bezoar, pulsatilla, and angelica dahurica. These all have the effect of clearing heat and drying dampness."
"Cicada peel, mulberry leaves, and chrysanthemum flowers all have the effect of dispelling wind-heat."
"Okay, that's all for today. The sun is almost setting, so we should go back."
"Jiang Zhiqing, have you memorized everything? Remember to bring this notebook with you tomorrow. There are so many herbs here, and if you can't remember some, you can look at what's on the notebook."
"Okay, Comrade Tang, I've written everything down in this little notebook. If there's anything I haven't memorized, I'll open it and look it up."
"Yes, Jiang Zhiqing, I'll have to thank you for taking care of us starting tomorrow."
"Comrade Tang, please stop being so polite to me. Besides, I can make money, right?"
Today was another fruitful day. Everyone put the herbs into backpacks and carried them on their way home.
Tang Shiyan returned home, opened the door and saw that Xia Jinnian had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.
"Jinnian, you've prepared dinner again. Now you're not going to give me a chance to show off my cooking skills."
"You prepare meals for me every day. Aren't you afraid that I will become dependent on you in the future?"
"Yan Yan, you're so tired from work, if you still have to come back to cook for me, then I'm not a man anymore."
"Besides, I like the way you rely on me. You are my partner. If not me, who else can you rely on?"
"Okay, stop talking about this and come over here to wash your hands and eat."
"Okay."
Xia Jinnian served the rice to Tang Shiyan, and also served a bowl to Xiaotian. He also picked up two braised pork trotters for him and placed a bowl of pork rib soup in front of him.
Xiaotian thought to himself, you're smart. If you don't give it food like before, it will definitely keep him awake at night.
"Yan Yan, your cat is such a glutton! I gave it a big bowl of rice, two braised pork trotters, and a bowl of pork rib soup, and it ate everything without leaving a single crumb."
"No wonder he became so chubby."
"Haha, there's nothing I can do. It just likes this. I can't scold it or hit it, otherwise it will get ahead of me. I can only spoil it."
"By the way, Jinnian, do you know anyone in the city? I want to go there and see if there are any orange saplings."
"By the way, let's find out the prices of those fruits. When the fruits are ready, we can sell them in the city."
"Yan Yan, you've asked the right person. I have a buddy who served in the army with me. After he was discharged, he started a fruit business in the city."
"I heard that the business is very big. When the time comes, you can go directly to him and tell him that I introduced you. He will understand."
"I'll write the address and the name of his shop on a piece of paper. Just follow that address when the time comes."
"As for the orange saplings, you can also ask him and he will help you solve it."
"Don't worry, we are close friends. Just tell him my name and the reason, and he will definitely help you solve these problems."
"It's just that I can't go out with you now, otherwise I would go with you."
"Okay, thank you, Jinnian."
"I'm so happy for you that you have such a good friend."
"I'm used to going in and out alone. Besides, I'm Tang Shiyan, who's fearless."
"No one dares to hurt me in the slightest. If anyone with ulterior motives approaches me, I will make them regret coming into this world."
“Yeah, Yanyan, you have to be as strong and vicious as you so that others won’t dare to get close to you and bully you.”
"But I'm still worried about you. You're a little girl going to such a far place where you don't know anyone."
"What if you run into those criminals and they drug you?"
"Jinnian, you don't have to worry about me. I will protect myself."
"Jinnian, eat quickly and stop thinking too much. I'll take you somewhere later. I have something to tell you."
"Yan Yan, what's the matter? Can't you tell me now?"
"Yes."
"But don't be too surprised when you see everything there."
"snort."
"Yan Yan, you're still keeping me in suspense."
"Believe it or not, I will teach you a lesson," he said, and then he blocked Tang Shiyan's lips with his mouth, making her defenseless.
