If her daughter also wanted a small sugar figure like her son, Lin Anru thought, no matter whether she had extra money or not, she would buy this first and then consider buying other things.
After all, their daughter has never asked them for anything since she was a child, so no matter what, they must satisfy her.
Under Lin Anru's expectant gaze, Lin Shiyu said:
"Dad, if herbs can be sold for silver, then use the silver to buy some other herbs."
"Okay, what should I bring?"
Lin Anru agreed immediately, although he was a little disappointed that what he had imagined was different from what his daughter wanted.
"Golden Bull Entering the Earth, Piercing Stone, two ounces each, and Ten Great Merits, four ounces." Liu Shiyu listed the herbs she had been planning to buy and their dosages. "If you have extra silver from selling them, it's okay to buy more."
Upon hearing this, Lin Anru repeated it silently several times in his mind, and then nodded after he memorized it.
Neither the couple asked their daughter the purpose of buying these herbs. Judging from their daughter's reaction yesterday when she saw the books left by Doctor Liu, it is possible that their daughter really did inherit some of Doctor Liu's medical skills.
It rained all day yesterday. Although the sky is gray today, there is no rain at all.
After Lin Anru left, Liu finally felt relieved.
When you go out to do something, good weather means you are halfway to success.
The roads were slippery after the rain, so Liu didn't let the children go out to play, and took them to their new home to continue the "weeding business."
The new house was in a remote location, and Liu didn't dare to go there alone until it was ready.
The reason why I dared to go there today was because the people from the eldest branch were also there to tidy up their new home.
Dafang's new house was next door to theirs, so they became neighbors after moving in.
The three of them were playing and tidying up the yard, and from time to time they could hear the voices of the eldest family talking not far away.
Sometimes when they were tired, the children would shout at each other at the top of their lungs and talk and laugh together.
Before I knew it, dusk had arrived.
When they returned home, Lin Anru had already returned home.
Seeing that his father was at home, Lin Boyu wanted to go back to the house to see if his father had brought back any delicious food.
Unfortunately for him, it was dinner time at the Lin family's house, so no matter how anxious he was, he could only eat dinner first.
The atmosphere at the Lin family's dinner table has been bad these past few days. No one wants to stay at the table for too long, and everyone finishes their meal quickly and goes back to their rooms.
"Dad, Dad, did you bring the sugar man back?" Lin Boyu asked Lin Anru as soon as he entered the room.
"Here, here, eat it quickly!" Lin Anru took out two sugar figures from her pocket like a magic trick: "One for my sister too, here."
They are two lifelike little rabbit-shaped sugar figures.
"Wow! It's really beautiful."
Lin Boyu looked left and right with shining eyes, but he couldn't bear to eat it.
"Mmm, that's sweet."
Lin Shiyu took it and put it in her mouth, then calmly expressed her evaluation under Lin Anru's expectant gaze.
"If you like it, Dad will bring you some next time."
Lin Anru touched her head and smiled with satisfaction.
Lin Boyu watched his sister eat the candy with relish, and looked at the candy man in his hand with hesitation. Finally, he chose an inconspicuous place and licked it.
Sweetness blossomed in his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
So sweet! So delicious!
Looking at the sugar man in his hand, Lin Boyu was very conflicted, and finally decided that he could not take another bite.
One mouthful.
One mouthful.
Another bite.
…
Lin Boyu: “!”
The lifelike sugar man turned into unrecognizable sugar, and Lin Boyu's sad tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Dad, have you sold the herbs?" Lin Shiyu asked after she finished eating the candy.
While the brother and sister were enjoying their candy, Lin Anru and Liu had already taken down the things they had bought and were sorting them out.
Hearing her daughter's question, Lin Anru couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
"It's sold, and I also bought you the herbs you wanted." He pointed to a pile of small bags in front.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyu hurried over there, opened the package and checked it.
He nodded as he dismantled her clothes.
It was the herb she wanted, and the quality was pretty good.
"It really sold?!" Liu, who was sorting and summarizing, came over and asked, "What's the price?"
"Both herbs cost three coins a pound, so the total was three hundred and twenty-one coins."
"So valuable?"
"So it's worthless?"
The first words were said by Liu, and the second words were said by Lin Shiyu.
You should know that it takes about four pounds of fresh herbs to make one pound of dried herbs.
The three of them, mother and son, occasionally joined by Lin Anru, picked the fruits together for three days, picking all the fruits in the fields of Shantian Village to get this much, and this was the only silver they got from selling them.
It’s cheaper than selling grass nowadays.
"Three cents per pound is too expensive!" Liu touched her daughter's head, thinking that she didn't understand prices.
In just over three days, they earned three hundred coins. Even if four people shared it, it would still be much more than what they could earn as farmhands.
"What a pity! All the herbs on the ridges have been picked, and I don't know when they will grow again."
For the first time, Liu felt that these "weeds" grew too slowly. If they grew faster, their family should be able to pay off all their foreign debts this year!
When all foreign debts are paid off, the child's father...
As she thought about it, her thoughts wandered away.
"Just let them grow slowly. It's not like there's only one kind of herb. I've asked about other herbs, and the prices are about the same. We can pick the others first." Lin Anru comforted his wife.
Cockseye grass, field yellow, six-cornered grass, jade leaf golden flower...
There are countless types of herbs.
He took some of each of the herbs his daughter picked from the edge of the field and asked the price.
The clinic gave a clear answer that they would accept all of them.
The coriander and centella asiatica sold this time are specially used by the clinic to make herbal tea. The usage is large and they are purchased on a long-term basis.
In addition to being used by the people themselves, other herbs are also transported to other places.
The growth of herbs is regional, and the herbs that are common here are much more expensive in other places.
Lin Anru obtained these things by tricking the apprentice in the clinic.
However, the herbs picked by Sister Yu are very common, and the purchase price is not high, so she only earns hard-earned money. If ordinary people knew about these herbs, they would not be able to get this hard-earned money.
"Really?!" Liu was very happy and hugged Lin Shiyu tightly.
If it wasn't so dark today, she would have rushed out to the fields to pick herbs.
Lin Shiyu, who was preparing medicine:...What happened?
"Really!" Lin Anru was also very happy, and immediately told his plan: "Starting tomorrow, you three will go out to pick herbs when you have time. I will stay at home copying books, and when I get tired, I will sort and clean the herbs at home."
He wanted to make more money during these days when the farming season was not yet over.
