Chapter 137 Good Harvest
Song Yuntang understood. It seemed that she could sell almost all the pills today, so she had to prepare the second batch of pills.
"Okay, you guys continue to lay the groundwork. Starting tomorrow, we'll only supply a small amount. I'm leaving now."
"Hey, Miss Song, take care."
When Song Yuntang arrived outside the town, Song Jinsheng, who had been waiting under a big tree, waved at her.
"Tang'er, here."
He carried the big pot and medicinal herbs on his shoulders and went straight to the farm with Song Yuntang who had already approached.
"Uncle Qiao, come and help me put this pot on the stove."
Qiao Da came over when he heard the noise, took the big pot from Song Jinsheng's shoulder pole, brought it into the yard, and placed it on one of the stoves in the kitchen.
Song Yuntang entered the yard, took out the vegetables he had brought from the basket and placed them on a temporary wooden table in the yard, and greeted the workers who were sitting in the corners drinking porridge in the shade.
"I sent some food to everyone today, come and have some."
They were all men from farming families. They were frugal by nature on weekdays. In addition, there was not much food at home, so naturally they kept the food for their wives and children. None of them brought any vegetables to the farm.
Everyone came over after smelling the scent.
"It smells so good! What is this?" someone asked.
"There's even meat to eat." Song Zhiye, the third cousin from my uncle's family, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. He was almost dizzy with the fragrance. "It's delicious! Tang'er, did you make this yourself?"
Song Yuntang smiled shyly.
"Yes, but I'm not very good at cooking, so everyone just make do with what they have."
"How can you not be good at cooking? Your cooking skills are probably no worse than those of the chefs in the restaurant in this town." Someone said after tasting it.
Someone joked, "Dazhu, you sound like you've eaten at a restaurant in town."
Song Dazhu was not angry either.
"Hey, I haven't eaten it, but it's true that Yun Tang is a good cook. Don't you think it tastes bad?"
Everyone laughed.
“Of course it’s delicious.”
Song Changbai glanced in the direction of Song Yuntang, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth doubtfully. The next moment, there was amazement and surprise in his eyes.
Before, I only heard that this cousin was a homebody, but I didn’t expect the dishes she cooked would be so delicious!
I originally thought that it was just the workers on the farm flattering her.
Seeing that everyone was talking and laughing, Song Yuntang did not join in. He walked around the house first. The walls inside and outside the house had been painted. After the walls were filled and painted, they were very neat, and there were few traces of the mud brick house.
Although earthen brick houses are not as sturdy as blue brick houses, it has to be said that this type of house is the most comfortable to live in as it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
The broken wood on the beams has been replaced, and the tiles on the roof have been re-arranged, so the house looks like new.
"Tang'er, what do you think of the renovation of this yard?" Song Jinsheng came over and asked.
Song Yuntang nodded, "It's pretty good. I'm already very satisfied that it has been repaired to this level."
Song Jinsheng smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied."
After Song Yuntang looked inside the house, he walked out and said, "I'll go check the wooden shed. Have both mountains been fenced off?"
"Including Mazi, there are four people working this time. My uncle helped for two days in the past two days. Dad and my eldest brother also came for two afternoons after selling bean sprouts. That's why we were able to repair the house so quickly. We just started to build the mountain today, so it may take another day or two."
Song Yuntang hummed, "Those who have come to help should be paid at least what they deserve."
Song Jinsheng said with some embarrassment, "It's okay with my uncle, but Tang'er shouldn't be so distant with my father and elder brother. They also want to do their part for you."
Song Yuntang just smiled faintly and said, "Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Don't brothers and sisters and fathers and daughters also have to settle accounts clearly? Second brother, just do as I say."
Knowing that Song Yuntang was a man of his word, Song Jinsheng had no choice but to nod in agreement.
She came to a field about forty or fifty meters away from the courtyard.
The ground here has been leveled and the surrounding frames have been built. The site is indeed spacious, almost three times the size of the courtyard's main hall.
"Won't it be cold in winter if there are no walls around it?" Song Yuntang asked.
Song Jinsheng said hurriedly, "Brother Mazi said that we can use straw bundles to make some curtains and hang them around. When it's hot, we can roll them up, and when it's cold, we can let them down. Then we can light a bonfire inside to warm ourselves. It's low-cost and practical."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Okay, but be careful of fire."
I have to say that Song Mazi is quite smart. He is not the kind of person who only knows how to work hard and does not know how to adapt.
The most important thing is that he is a generous person and not as fussy as his mother.
"There are so many people watching. We can just leave and put out the fire when the time comes." Song Jinsheng saw Song Yuntang finish his visit, pick up a small shovel from the ground and walk up the mountain. He hurriedly followed him, "Tang'er, are you going to the mountain spring?"
"Well, the weather will be cool in a few days, and we can plant the pepper seeds."
If they really sprout, you can build a greenhouse to keep them when the weather gets cooler. Then when there are enough pepper seeds next year, you can plant them on a large scale.
She found a relatively flat place not far from the mountain spring, used a small shovel to clear about two square meters of wasteland, and crushed the soil into pieces. Because she was not sure whether the seeds would really germinate, she only scattered half of the pepper seeds.
Then he used a gourd ladle to scoop water and water the ground thoroughly.
There are big trees on the mountain to provide shade, so there is no need to worry about the seeds being exposed to the sun. Once they sprout and grow, we can transplant them down the mountain.
"Second brother, please pay attention to the place where I sow the seeds and help me keep them away from birds and beasts."
Song Jinsheng nodded, "Okay, I'll go find someone who has an old fishing net and use it to fence off this small piece of land for you."
"That would be great."
Song Yuntang came down the mountain and saw that everyone was busy again. There was nothing else to do here, so he went back to the town to make pills.
…
In the evening, Mu Dong and Mu Qiu came home.
"Miss Song, we have a good harvest today."
Seeing the joy on both of their faces, Song Yuntang asked them to close the door first.
"Today's pills, except for the slightly more expensive blood-nourishing pills, which still have seven pills left, the skin-rejuvenating pills and body-fragrant pills are gone, there are still three whitening pills left, and five slimming pills left."
Song Yuntang prepared a total of sixty pills for the first day.
There are five kinds of pills in total, twelve pills of each.
Excluding the five body fragrance pills, five skin rejuvenation pills, one whitening pill and four blood nourishing pills that Jiang Surao and her friends ordered last time, a total of seven body fragrance pills, seven skin rejuvenation pills, eight whitening pills, seven slimming pills and one blood nourishing pill were sold today.
If there were not only twelve pieces of the body fragrance pills and skin rejuvenation pills in total, they would have sold more.
