"Hey, Ye Zi is here too. You're a rare guest. Come in quickly."
Lao Hei moved aside to let the two people in, and even stretched his head to look outside before closing the door with confidence.
Ershuang used to come here often, so he found a place to sit down without any hesitation: "Ye Zi, come and sit here too."
"Isn't it that Ye Zi wants to buy something, so she came to see if you have anything here?"
Lao Hei didn't get too polite with the two of them. Ershuang was his brother, and Ye Zi was a tight-lipped man and also his supplier. They had been dealing with each other for more than a year or two.
Lao Hei can still remember the first time he saw Ye Zi. At that time, Ye Zi was still very small with a serious face, carrying a few rabbits to exchange for money. That little expression was quite funny.
"What do you want? Just tell me and I'll ask someone to find it for you."
Chen Ye took out a piece of paper from her pocket, on which were written all the things she wanted to buy: "Take a look and see if they are all here?"
Lao Hei took a look and waved to his younger brother to go find it. After all, he was just a small boss, so he was not needed for these small matters.
"Ye Zi, you haven't sent any meat in a while. When will you send some? It's hard to sell anything without meat."
"It's not possible now. Spring plowing is about to start, and this season is not suitable for hunting in the mountains."
"Let's wait until autumn. By then, the work in the fields will be almost done, and the offspring of the prey in the mountains will have grown up. It will be a good time for hunting."
When I heard that it would take several more months, I was a little disappointed, but I also knew that rural people are quite particular about going up the mountain. This is the season for animals to reproduce, so it is really not suitable for hunting.
"Okay, if you have meat, please think of us."
"Don't worry, as long as there is meat, I will definitely send it to you first."
"By the way, give me a few bottles of good liquor so I can make medicinal wine when I get home."
Grandpa Luo said that medicinal wine is good for the health of the young grandfather and his family. After enjoying the care of the four of them for many years, she should give something back if she is able to.
Lao Hei became interested: "Is this the medicinal wine that Ershuang mentioned before?"
Chen Ye glanced at Ershuang, who nodded. He had actually said this. Last year, when they were doing something, they asked Ye Zi for some medicinal wine to give as a gift to someone. The effect was particularly good, and he mentioned it when he was chatting with Lao Hei last time.
I didn’t expect that Lao Hei really took it to heart.
Chen Ye saw the method of making medicinal wine in an ancient book from Grandpa Feng. She copied down the prescription and showed it to Grandpa Luo. Grandpa Luo was very happy after reading it and said that this medicinal wine was even better than the one he made.
Chen Ye had been thinking about this. When the two old men were still bedridden, Chen Ye went into the mountains to get the necessary herbs and made them together with Grandpa Luo. The effect was really good.
Later, Ye Zi didn't have the chance to go up the mountain for a year, and she stopped making the medicinal wine. Now that she can arrange her time herself, she plans to go up the mountain again before the autumn harvest to see if she can get all the herbs so that she can make some medicinal wine.
It just so happened that she came here this time, and this thing would not go bad, so she could buy it earlier or later. She didn't have time to come to the county town all the time to take it back.
"Okay, but not in a short time. Some herbs can only be obtained in the mountains before the autumn harvest. Are you anxious?"
Lao Hei shook his head: "No hurry, my old man has severe rheumatism, and it's difficult for him to go out in the winter. I was thinking of trying to see if the medicinal wine you mentioned would work."
"I'll get you a few more bottles of liquor. Don't pay me for today's food. Just consider it as payment for the herbs."
He didn't know any medical skills, but he knew that the herbs needed to make good medicinal wine were not cheap. Besides, going up the mountain to collect herbs was not easy and it was a life-threatening task.
Chen Ye couldn't agree. He thought that the only valuable thing in the medicinal wine might be wild ginseng, or the kind of wild ginseng from a small vintage. In autumn, when the mountain people went into the mountains, there were a lot of wild ginseng from small vintages, and they were not very valuable.
The remaining herbs are not valuable, but they are fresh and more effective than processed herbs, so she goes up the mountain to pick them and use them immediately.
"The herbs are not worth much. Only the wild ginseng in them is worth a few dollars. It doesn't need to be old. You don't have to be so polite. Just give me the white wine. You can charge whatever you want for the rest."
Lao Hei is a generous person. "No, that won't work. Just take it with peace of mind. You don't have to be polite to me given our relationship. It's just some seasoning. It's quite expensive to buy here. It's very cheap to buy it from the place of origin. I feel bad about giving it to you as labor fee."
Ershuang also advised, "If others don't know, he doesn't know the value of the medicinal wine? If it weren't for the medicinal wine that paved the way for him last time, how could he have found his current job so easily?"
"Just accept it with peace of mind. Lao Hei is a real man. If it really wasn't equal, he wouldn't be so generous." Lao Hei looks foolish and generous, but he is actually smart. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sit in his current position. He has many younger brothers under him.
"That's fine, but I have to pay for the food. She just saw that Ershuang asked Laohei to leave a big bag of food. That's a lot of money."
"Okay, Ye Zi is straightforward and I won't argue. Just give me a purchase price for the grain."
"Don't refuse. I'm here for your medicinal wine. If my old man uses it well, I'll ask you to help make some more in the future."
Lao Hei's purpose is very clear, and Chen Ye is willing to deal with such a person, so you don't have to guess what he is thinking.
"Okay, if it's useful, tell me and I'll bring the ones I make for you along." It's impossible to do it alone, she's not that kind.
"Ye Zi is open-minded. Er Shuang just said you like to drink soda. You can bring a few more bottles back later. When you come back next time, just bring the bottles back to me."
Chen Ye's eyes lit up. If she had the conditions, she would like to drink soda every day. The feeling of bubbles bursting in her mouth was her favorite.
What a pity, this thing is not only expensive, but the bottle has to be returned, and she doesn't have time to come to the county town often, so she can't buy more to drink.
"Thank you, Brother Heizi."
"Well, why are you being so polite to me? We rely on you for our meat."
This was just a joke. Chen Ye was young, and even when she went up the mountain to hunt, she would only target small animals. When she saw big ones, she would take a detour. She valued her life more than anyone else.
After waiting for a while, a boy of fifteen or sixteen came back from the back carrying half a sack of things, a large bag of rice and half a bag of flour.
Chen Ye had a headache. He had said that he would never ride a bicycle again. Today he had to ride Ershuang's bicycle back. There were too many things to carry.
I can pick it up, but it is difficult to carry it back because it is too big.
He tied all the things to the bicycle and said, "Well, it seems that this bicycle will be used again. You can ride it back next time. I don't have time to come over right now. Spring plowing will start tomorrow."
