The happy little days of the Ye family

At the end of last year, Tang Xiaojing picked all the mature herbs on the two hills.

After finishing the spring plowing, Tang Xiaojing couldn't rest. He had to replant the medicinal fields on the mountain.

Tang Xiaojing often collects herbs in the mountains. He knows exactly what herbs can grow on the mountains here. The herbs he grows are all the herbs he has seen on the mountains.

Aconite, Pinellia ternata, Gastrodia elata, Aracenia, Rehmannia glutinosa, Polygonum multiflorum, Sophora japonica and Polygonatum are all medicinal materials that can be found in the mountains here.

These medicinal materials are already present on the mountain, which shows that they can be grown on the mountain.

Regarding the seeds of the medicinal field, Tang Xiaojing had already greeted Shopkeeper Wang years ago and made a list, asking Shopkeeper Wang to help get the seeds of the herbal medicine.

After finishing the spring plowing, Tang Xiaojing had time to go to the county to get herbal seeds.

Not all people in the county are rich, and not all families can afford the quota of 15 taels each. The streets in the county are much deserted than before.

As soon as he entered Wang's Pharmacy, Tang Xiaojing saw several young men dressed as servants surrounding shopkeeper Wang.

Needless to say, he was helping those rich young men buy medicine and wine. Shopkeeper Wang, the old fox, grinned almost to the back of his ears.

Tang Xiaojing saw that shopkeeper Wang was busy, so he didn't bother him. Instead, he started chatting with the waiter on the side.

From the waiter's mouth, Tang Xiaojing knew that the two sika deer from last time had been made into various medicinal wines by shopkeeper Wang.

The medicinal wine has just been brewed in the past few days, and almost every day people come to shopkeeper Wang to buy medicinal wine.

Especially the deer whip wine and deer antler wine have long been ordered by wealthy families.

Tang Xiaojing thought to himself that shopkeeper Wang, the smiling tiger, was probably going to blackmail him for a meal later because his wallet was so rich.

It's a pity that he only learned a little bit, and he only knows how to prepare herbal medicine and make some of the most common cheap medicinal wines.

Shopkeeper Wang was famous for his aphrodisiac medicinal wine, and those who bought the medicinal wine did not want to expose themselves. The servants were all dressed up in disguise, and they did not dare to stay longer. They bought the medicinal wine and left in a hurry.

Several bottles of expensive medicinal wine were sold at once, and Shopkeeper Wang felt refreshed.

Shopkeeper Wang felt even happier when he saw Tang Xiaojing, feeling that the white money was waving to him.

Shopkeeper Wang excitedly put his arms around Tang Xiaojing's shoulders, "You came just in time. I just wanted to go to Taohua Village to find you. Is there any way to get the sika deer that I sent before?"

Tang Xiaojing was a little embarrassed. The last time he encountered a wild boar was still fresh in his mind. The four of them almost confessed to it last time.

Shopkeeper Wang saw Tang Xiaojing's expression of embarrassment and said:

"I know this is dangerous. I have also gone to find the hunters in Dashan Village, but haven't they been doing corvee work recently? Most of the hunters in Dashan Village have gone to do corvee labor."

"This plum blossom road depends on you. As long as you get live sika deer, I will give you 60 taels of silver for each one."

Compared with the last sika deer, shopkeeper Wang added 5 taels of silver to each.

Shopkeeper Wang made a lot of money from medicinal wine, and he was thinking about finding a few more sika deers and making more medicinal wine.

Tang Xiaojing was still scared when he thought of the wild boar he met last time. Now that the family is not short of money, he feels there is no need to take this risk.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Shopkeeper Wang apologetically, "Brother Wang, the mountain where we hunted sika deer last time contains not only wild boars but also wolves."

"Last time when we were hunting sika deer, we encountered a herd of wild boars, and a few people almost told us they were there."

"And spring is the breeding season for animals, and animals at this time are more ferocious."

Shopkeeper Wang made a suggestion, "How about I find a few skilled servants at home to help you hunt sika deer?"

Tang Xiaojing shook his head, "That's not appropriate. The mountain is a public mountain in the village. It's okay for me to go hunting by myself. But if I bring outsiders with me to hunt in the mountain, the village chief won't let me go, not to mention that the villagers won't agree." "

Tang Xiaojing suggested: "There are also a few very powerful hunters in Taohua Village, but they have all gone to work as corvees now. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for them to come back, and I will help you collect sika deer in the village."

Shopkeeper Wang thought he still had a batch of medicinal wine on hand and was not in a hurry, so he agreed.

Tang Xiaojing talked about the herbal seeds that he asked shopkeeper Wang to help find years ago.

Shopkeeper Wang had actually prepared the herbal seeds for Tang Xiaojing a long time ago, but he didn't wait until he came to get them.

Shopkeeper Wang returned to his room and brought out a large bag of things.

There are more herbal seeds this time, and there are all kinds of herbs, and there is a big bag full of them.

The herbs grown by Tang Xiaojing were all delivered to Wang's Pharmacy, and last time the sika deer helped shopkeeper Wang make a lot of money, shopkeeper Wang deliberately didn't pay for the herbal seeds.

Although the taker was short-handed and the cannibal was soft-spoken, Tang Xiaojing still insisted on giving the money from the herbal seeds to Shopkeeper Wang.

After returning home, Tang Xiaojing sorted out the herbal seeds.

It was found that the type of quantity of seeds was the same as what he wanted, but the quantity was half more than what he had said before.

With so many seeds, the Tang family's hill alone would definitely not be able to plant them.

Tang Xiaojing thought that there were extra seeds, and there was a hill next to Ye's house. During dinner in the evening, Tang Xiaojing wanted to take the extra seeds to Ye's house.

Tang Xiaojing remembered that Mr. Ye and Ye Qingqing were quite interested in the herbs he grew before.

Before eating, Tang Xiaojing found Mr. Ye.

"Grandpa Ye, I have a lot of herbal seeds here. Didn't you say before that you wanted to try growing herbal medicine? How about planting some on the mountain?"

Mr. Ye shook his head, "I used to think that medicinal herbs were valuable, like growing some herbs on the mountain, but as you have seen, now all the long-term workers have gone to do corvee labor, and there is no manpower at home."

The family has dozens of acres of paddy fields and dry land to take care of, as well as rabbit sheds and pig pens, all of which cannot be separated from people.

Mr. Ye wanted to make this money, but he was powerless, so he had to reluctantly refuse.

And now there are bamboo forests on the mountain, and honeysuckle and jujube trees have been planted in the remaining areas. There is really no place to grow medicinal herbs.

After getting the herbal seeds back, Tang Xiaojing took Tangshan to plant herbs on the mountain every day.

Tang Xiaojing goes up the mountain every day, and he probably knows which places are likely to grow what herbs.

Tang Xiaojing sprinkled corresponding herbal seeds in different places according to their habits.

Shopkeeper Wang gave more herbal seeds this time. In addition to planting medicinal materials at the original location last year, Tang Xiaojing also planted many common medicinal materials at the foot of the mountain.

The remaining more expensive medicinal seeds were all scattered in his backyard.

Apart from a few fruit trees and a cowshed, there is nothing else in the Tang family's backyard.

Tang Xiaojing felt it would be a pity if herbs were not planted in a large area.
