Chapter 065 Guaranteeing the completion of the mission
Wen Kexin grabbed a handful of wormwood and tied the legs of the two pheasants together, and said sincerely: "Second sister, you just caught a snake, and the snake and pheasant are stewed together and taste good. This pheasant is not only for you to eat, but also for mother-in-law to nourish her body."
There was another reason she didn't say. In order to eliminate the estrangement, her mother-in-law might say a few words. If that brat Goudan still had any brains, he should think about it.
Only then did Second Sister Song nod and say, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law!"
The two of them hurried to collect Schisandra chinensis.
Wen Kexin walked to a deserted place and collected the items with both hands, taking the opportunity to secretly send a lot of them into the space.
When the basket was full, she found Second Sister Song and said, "Second Sister, I see you have also picked enough. We should go back. Let's go to my mother's house first. I will teach you how to prepare Schisandra chinensis."
Second Sister Song quickly thought of something and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, there is something I forgot to tell you. A few days ago, my husband and I went to pick honeysuckle and were followed by someone. They asked us why we picked the flowers. We said we dried them and drank them as tea. Several people followed us to pick them, and some even destroyed the trees. I'm worried that Schisandra won't be able to keep it a secret for a few more days."
Wen Kexin knew that nothing could be hidden in the village, and any disturbance would be noticed.
Many people are short-sighted and cannot stand others doing well. They are envious and jealous but cannot find a way to do so.
"Second sister, I don't have a good solution for this. I can only try not to attract other people's attention. I want to bring my family here tomorrow. Let's pick these Schisandra chinensis as soon as possible and process them."
This time's honeysuckle is different from the last time. Last time it was discovered by Second Sister Song, so I can't be greedy for small gains.
This time, it was she who discovered the Schisandra chinensis. She was worried that someone might target her, so she decided to put it in her pocket as soon as possible to be safe.
Sister Song frowned and said, "This is the only way!"
Wen Kexin pulled a few handfuls of grass to cover the basket and continued, "Second sister, my mother's home is a little remote, so you should bring all the Schisandra chinensis you collected to my house for processing. It's a bit troublesome to process Schisandra chinensis. Not only do you have to steam it, you also have to soak it in vinegar."
Second Sister Song quickly thought of something and said, "Sister-in-law, your second brother-in-law said that we took advantage of you last time. Are these processing methods the secret recipes you learned? I think we can only earn the money for picking the herbs, and we will definitely not take the money for processing."
There is regenerable vinegar on the shelf in Wen Kexin's space.
Even though the relationship between the two parties is good, things must be made clear.
She nodded slightly and said, "Second sister, I know you and my second brother-in-law need money urgently to build a house, and we won't let you lose money. It's really troublesome to process Schisandra chinensis, so I'll charge you 10% for the processing fee, okay?"
Second Sister Song said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, this takes time and materials, 10% processing fee is too little, how about 20%?"
The vinegar Wen Kexin was considering using didn't cost any money at all, and she didn't care about the small amount of money. She shook her head and said, "Second sister, I calculated that 10% of the cost of the materials is about enough."
"Sister-in-law, how can we just deduct the material cost? Don't we have to steam it? It will definitely consume firewood, and it's not easy to steam things in such hot weather. How about 15%? If you don't want it, we won't get involved this time."
When Wen Kexin heard that her second sister was so reasonable, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's do as you say. I'll take 15%."
In this way, the two of them talked as they walked, and quickly reached an agreement in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, and were about to enter the village.
The two changed the subject in time.
When they walked into the house, the Wen family was stunned.
When they left in the morning, their backpacks were full. Why were they still full? Didn’t they sell the herbs?
Wen Kexin saw the disappointed expressions on her parents' faces and hurriedly explained, "Mom and Dad, it's done. We came back and went to Beishan to pick some good things."
So that's how it is!
The couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Erjie put down the backpack and removed the grass covering it, and immediately many bright little red fruits appeared inside.
Wang Qiaolian asked curiously, "What is this? It looks like medicinal chickpeas."
Wen Kexin patiently explained, "Mom, this is called Schisandra chinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine that can replenish qi, promote the production of body fluids, nourish the kidneys and calm the mind. It needs to be processed and dried."
Sister Song carefully picked up the Schisandra chinensis from the backpack and put it into the wooden basin next to her, praising her, "Sister-in-law, you know so much."
Wen Kexin said modestly: "I only know what is happening in front of me. If there are things I don't understand, I have to read books frequently."
"Sister-in-law, don't be so modest. Thanks to you knowing these things, we have the opportunity to make money. I'm going back. Tomorrow morning, shall we go separately or together?"
"Separate, so as not to attract attention!"
"OK!"
Wen Jiancheng and his wife were completely confused. After the guests left, they asked anxiously, "Kexin, what happened?"
Wen Kexin then told her parents what happened today.
The two were delighted to learn that their daughter had indeed made money and had discovered a lot of Schisandra chinensis in the mountains.
Wang Qiaolian made a quick decision and said, "My daughter, I will go with you tomorrow."
Wen Jiancheng nodded and said, "Let the two little girls go too. Just stay safe at home with me."
When Wen Ping'an found out, he decided to stay behind, and his face was immediately filled with frustration. "Mom and Dad, I want to go too!"
Seeing her brother's eager eyes, Wen Kexin comforted him, "Ping'an, Daddy's health is the most important. I'm afraid that grandma and my aunt may come to make trouble at any time, so I need someone to protect Daddy. This important task is given to Ping'an. Can you complete it?"
Wen Ping'an immediately puffed out his chest as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and said seriously: "Ping'an will definitely protect Daddy and ensure that the mission is completed!"
When Wen Kexin heard his brother's words, Song Mo's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind. He didn't expect that his brother took his words to heart.
I wonder how that man is doing now? Why haven’t you written to me yet?
At this moment, Song Mo was leading people to carry out a mission.
A group of enemy spies had set their sights on the confidentiality factory and were working with an insider to steal confidential documents in the middle of the night.
Song Mo and a few others, led by the factory security personnel, ambushed near the confidential factory's R&D department, ready to catch the enemy in one fell swoop.
Soon, they started fighting with the infiltrated enemy spies, and victory seemed in sight.
Suddenly, a grenade was thrown from an inconspicuous corner onto the fighting scene between the two sides.
Everyone was shocked.
Song Mo realized that something was wrong and he was immediately furious. He punched the enemy in front of him hard, pushing them back.
He rushed over regardless and kicked the smoking grenade away.
"Boom..." After a moment, the grenade exploded in the air, and the dark night sky suddenly became as bright as day.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, bullets came silently from the corner.
Just as Song Mo was about to rush forward, "bang..." a bullet shot into his body.
He endured the pain, remembering his promise to complete the mission, stared at the corner with cold eyes, and issued an order calmly and forcefully: "Kill without mercy!"
