The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

Seeing that he had picked out the tools and came out, he immediately took two steps back and said with a naive smile: "If you want to sell it, it's best to chop fruit wood. That kind of wood has a fragrance when burned. You can transport more in this cart, so you can go to those masters first." They like to try their luck at home and buy this kind of whole product directly.”

Ah Zhi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

I mistakenly thought that he was also planning to make a living by chopping wood, but he was still willing to lend tools and even share his experience... He was truly an extremely sincere person.

"Well, let's go."

Time was running out, so he didn't say much, quickened his pace and left first.

After going up the mountain, I found the stone forest in my memory without much effort.

Duan Qingqiu had complained at the beginning, saying that this mountain might not grow rocks, otherwise why would there be no vegetation everywhere, only gravel everywhere.

In fact, barren mountains can sometimes be a treasure. It depends on whether the people passing by recognize the goods.

Azhi took off his coat and tied it around his waist. He first went to find fruit trees nearby and chopped about two loads. Then he changed to a hammer and started looking for the big rocks he wanted.

Although they look similar, he just knows which stone contains mineral resources.

Finally, I estimated the amount and chose two medium-sized pieces. After breaking them into as many pieces as possible, I put them on a cart and carried them down the mountain.

It was dark, and Aniu was bundling firewood, planning to get up early tomorrow and carry it to the town to sell.

Although he likes Ah Zhi's stroller very much, he doesn't want to trouble others. After all, it's not something that happens only once or twice. It's better to get used to carrying it on his own.

When the last knot was tied, two tapping sounds suddenly came from outside.

A Niu was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the sky.

A load of firewood, back so early?

When I opened the door, I saw it was Ah Zhi.

"Give me the stuff. Go home quickly." He stretched out his hand to pick up the tool bag.

Unexpectedly, the car turned a corner and pushed into the yard again.

And this man, who looked even more taciturn than himself, started unloading the firewood without saying a word.

"You...you are..."

"Thank you."

A Niu looked at the "hill" built up at his feet and quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no need..."

But the other party didn't give him a chance to finish. After putting down all the firewood, he pointed at the tool bag and said, "I may need to borrow it for another day."

"well……"

The man nodded subconsciously, and then discovered the pile of rubble with a faint silvery light, and asked in surprise: "Is this an iron ore? Do you want to smelt iron?"

Ah Zhi paused, surprised again by what the other person blurted out.

He replied with rare patience: "It needs to be smelted, but it is not iron."

Iron words are too troublesome, and under their current conditions, it is impossible to do it.

"Hey, um..." Aniu scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed but excited, "I, can I help you?"

"...Hmm." It's okay, multiple helpers can speed things up.

The man was so excited that he completely forgot that it was dinner time.

I arrived at Duan's house on the way to my meal, and after smelling the fragrant aroma, I suddenly realized what I was doing and hurriedly said I would go back first and come back later.

How could Duan Qingqiu let him go?

Not to mention the previous help, it seems that my "husband" has troubled others again, so of course I have to express my gratitude.

"Xiao Xia, take out the fish that the Ji family sent today and burn it, and add some soup!"

A Niu was still refusing at first, but after the meal was served, he became silent.

I didn't dare to squeak, for fear that my saliva would flow out on the spot.

At this table in the evening, there were two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes and one soup. Five people ate up the entire pot of steamed buns.

Just like this, Duan Qingqiu believed that two of them could still eat leisurely.

After eating, A Niu couldn't help but patted A Zhi on the shoulder: "Brother, you entered the wrong door."

It’s really enviable to be a wife who can eat well and still be full.

A Zhi: "..."

No, he was forced and had no choice.

It was dark, but the Duan family courtyard was as bright as day.

The fire slowly burned, burning the gravel, making a crackling sound.

A Niu held the tongs, and once he found a piece that was red-hot, he would take it out.

Azhi, who was waiting aside, quickly peeled it off and threw away the stone part, leaving only the silver liquid, which he poured into the prepared adobe mold.

This is repeated, with sparks flying everywhere during the whole process, which is both beautiful and dangerous.

Xiaodong and Xiaoxia hid behind the door of the house, sticking half of their heads out to take a look.

Even Duan Qingqiu, who prided himself on being brave, only dared to walk close to the side, doing small tasks like fetching things and delivering water.

In the end, all the molds were filled. At first glance, they looked like flowing rivers of the Milky Way. However, the water in the river was so hot that the slightest touch would burn through the flesh immediately.

But everything is obviously not over yet.

I saw Ah Niu scooping up a spoonful of water and waving his arm to splash it over.

stab-

In the bursts of white mist, there was a clanging sound.

The silver mineral liquid that gradually solidified changed unpredictably under Ah Zhi's hands, and the movements were so fast that it was hard to see what was happening.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Xiaoxia and Xiaodong were sitting by the door frame and had fallen asleep long ago.

Duan Qingqiu rubbed his eyes and tried his best to carry his brothers and sisters back to their room. As he walked, double images seemed to appear in his sight.

She yawned, fell down on the bed, and closed her eyes.

In my sleep, the crisp knocking sound still echoed in my ears for a long time...

oh oh oh-

"Well?"

Whose chicken is crowing?

Duan Qingqiu sat up with his messy hair, looked out the window at the morning light, and squinted his eyes.

At this time, the loud rooster crows again.

"Eh? Does it belong to my family?"

She clearly remembered that the nest was full of pullets.

He jumped out of bed, took a basin of water in the room, combed his long, rough and dry hair, made a simple bun with a wooden hairpin, and walked out of the room in three steps and two steps.

"Sister, Granny Ge just sent a rooster, saying that with it, we will be able to have chicks in the future!" Xiao Xia ran over happily.

Listening to his sister's chirping, Duan Qingqiu's attention was attracted by the big thing covered with oilcloth in the yard.

The fire and debris had been cleared away. If it weren't for the black and red gravel remaining on the ground, she would have thought that the commotion last night was a dream.

So, is this done?

"Sister? Sister!" Still getting no response, Xiaoxia couldn't help but raise her voice,

In the little girl's heart, having an endless supply of chicks in the future is the most important thing right now.

"Huh? Oh, it was given by Grandma Ge?" Duan Qingqiu finally came back to her senses. She glanced at the chicken pen. The rooster was patrolling her territory with its head held high. It looked so majestic.

She thought for a while and said, "Go to my room and get thirty coins to send to the Ge family."

"Hey? Why!"

"Don't ask, just go if you are told."

Even though she was unwilling, Xiaoxia still went to get the money as she was told. Before going out, she muttered something like "I sent it voluntarily, so it's just a thank you gift."

Duan Qingqiu shook his head helplessly.

The twists and turns in this are difficult to explain to a child.

I'm afraid Grandma Ge sent this chicken not as a thank you gift, but as an apology.
