After the clan leader left, Li Yan said to Old Master Li, "Master, we just bought some wasteland. Ask those people last time if they're willing to help. This time, we'll just pay them directly at twelve coins a day. Ask them if they're willing first!"
Although everyone is busy now, families with large numbers of people can still spare one person to earn this money.
"Your uncle should be able to finish plowing the field today, but he only has one ox..."
"I have two mules at home. I'll use them for now. I'll go to the shops in the city and see if they have any iron plows for sale."
Mr. Li: "Okay, I'll go find someone to ask now!"
After Mr. Li left, Li Yan returned home and said to Lin, who was busy in the kitchen, "Mom, I'm going to the city first!"
"Wait a minute, the food will be ready soon. At least eat before you leave!"
"Mom, don't worry. I'm not hungry now. I can eat when I get hungry in the city. I'm leaving now!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Lin came out of the kitchen and could no longer see her daughter. She shook her head helplessly: "This child!"
Li Yan rushed to the city and first went to Doctor Zhou's Xingren Hall.
Li Yan felt a little relieved as she saw her uncle's face getting better and better day by day.
Lin Feng: "Yan'er, there's no need to come to the city to see me every day. I have nothing to do now and can move back to my residence tomorrow!"
"Uncle, I'm here to ask Doctor Zhou something. I want to plant some other medicinal herbs, but I'm not sure where to buy them. He must know more about these things than I do!"
"My uncle's injuries are now stable. Why don't you come with me? I can help him recuperate at home!"
"No, it's not a big deal. It saves your mother from worrying about it!" Lin Feng insisted.
Monkey: "Girl, don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Feng. If you are worried, you can come to Luoguxiang often to visit!"
So, Li Yan had no choice but to give up.
After they chatted for a while, Li Yan came out of the inner room to look for Doctor Zhou.
"Doctor Zhou, do you know where I can buy medicinal herb seedlings? I bought some wasteland and want to try growing some medicinal herbs!"
Doctor Zhou put down his pen and asked, "Have you decided what medicinal herbs to plant?"
Li Yan nodded: "I plan to plant some honeysuckle, licorice and astragalus first."
Doctor Zhou couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why did you think of growing these herbs?"
Li Yan did not hide anything and directly expressed her thoughts: "The wasteland I bought is relatively barren, and these herbs are easier to survive and do not require much careful care!" The most important point is that these herbs are basically common medicines in prescriptions.
Especially licorice, there is a saying that "nine out of ten herbs are licorice". The more common and commonly used medicinal herbs are, the greater the demand is, and the easier it is to sell!
"Then do you know that these herbs are all perennial herbs, and they didn't have much of a future back then?"
Li Yan was also clear about this. On the one hand, she was only familiar with a few kinds of medicinal herbs. On the other hand, her family did not rely on the growth of these herbs for their livelihood, so a longer growing period was acceptable.
Now that Doctor Zhou had asked, he would surely have a better idea. Thinking of this, Li Yan asked, "Doctor Zhou, do you have a better idea? You have more experience with medicinal herbs!"
Doctor Zhou couldn't help but smile knowingly. This child was very smart. He only needed to mention it once, but he could already understand the meaning behind his words.
Doctor Zhou didn't beat around the bush and said, "If you have plenty of land, you can plant these herbs. You can also add herbs like Isatis root, which have a shorter production period!"
"Doctor Zhou, do you know where these seedlings can be bought?" Li Yan asked.
"I've grown a lot of licorice seedlings at home. You can just take people to pick them. As for the seedlings of the other medicinal herbs, you'll have to buy them. The owner of this medicine shop is an old friend of mine. He has a large medicinal field in the nearby town. Whenever you want to go, I'll let Xun'er go with you!"
Li Yan had thought it would take some time to find the seedlings, but she hadn't expected to find them so easily. She was extremely grateful and said with a smile, "It will take about three or four days to dig up the fields at home. Once they're done, I'll trouble Zhou Xun to take me there!"
Doctor Zhou agreed very readily!
After discussing the sapling issue with Doctor Zhou, Li Yan went back to the inner chamber. "Uncle, take good care of your injuries. I'm going to the city to see if there are any plows for sale!"
Lin Feng was still worried, so he said to Tie Zhu beside him, "Let her go and have a look. After all, you have more experience with this than a child like her!"
Li Yan did not refuse. She was not sure about the details of choosing the plow. Besides, she was still a child, so it would not be wrong to bring an adult with her!
