Chapter 59 Selling medicinal materials (Gujiacun)
The rabbit was put into the basket and they went down the mountain.
Went to the foot of the mountain and picked a lot of honeysuckle before going home.
When he returned to his uncle's house, only Gu Qiu was chatting with his uncle.
"Brother, you are back."
"Well, where are Dong'er and Xiao Zhuzi, and where are uncle?"
Gu Qiu was picking vegetables at hand, "Donger's little bamboo went to play with little Qinghai. There was a group of children, but I didn't go. My uncle followed him, fearing that they would wander around and get lost."
He Ling also smiled: "Your uncle just likes little bamboo and likes to look at him."
Gu Qiu pretended to be coquettish: "Auntie, who do you like best?"
He Ling touched her and said, "I like all of you, you are all good children."
"Oh, but in this family, I like the eldest aunt the most."
He Ling is so happy.
Gu Xia smiled and looked at his sister, she is now more talkative.
Since coming to the country, his sister's personality seems to have become a little more cheerful.
"Brother, what did you bring back? Yeah, it's a little rabbit, show me."
Gu Xia hugged the rabbit to her, "My leg is injured, be careful."
Then he made a nest with hay and asked Gu Qiu to put the rabbit down.
He took out the medicine box he brought and applied medicine to the little rabbit.
He Ling was also surprised: "Second brother, can you still treat diseases? Looking at this posture, you are more powerful than the doctors in our village."
Gu Xia said while applying the medicine: "I just learned a little bit of medical knowledge. Let's test it on this little rabbit."
"Then you want to keep this rabbit?"
Gu Xia nodded and said yes.
"I'll let your uncle make a shield from the rain later, and I need to find something for it to eat. You know you can't feed rabbits watery things, right?"
Gu Xia and Gu Qiu listened carefully. They had no experience in raising rabbits.
After applying the medicine to the rabbit, Gu Xia asked Gu Qiu to share the honeysuckle together.
He also took out other herbs dug from the mountain, spread them out and dried them in the sun.
He Ling saw the two children doing things in an orderly manner, and she felt even more fond of them.
"Second brother, what is this? How do you dig up these grasses?"
"Auntie, these are Chinese herbal medicines that can cure diseases. I want to dry some myself and sell some."
He Ling asked curiously: "Can this thing still be sold? Where can it be sold?"
"Is there a buying station here? I can sell it there."
"What do you want to sell to the buying station?"
At this time, Uncle Gu came back with his two children. Gu Dong's braids were messy, and Xiao Zhu's whole body was dirty.
He Ling was used to village children getting dirty.
But these two people from the city, who were so fashionable yesterday, now look like two little country bumpkins.
It’s really unbearable to look at.
"You two hurry up and wash up, you're all dirty."
After saying that, she took her two children in to take a shower and change clothes.
Uncle Gu sat down again and started to help Gu Xia make a dustpan.
Gu Xia asked him what he just said: "Uncle, is there a purchasing station here? I want to sell these medicinal materials."
"We don't have one in our village, but there is one in the town. It's not far away. If you want to go, we'll take the village's ox cart there tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Uncle Gu took Gu Xia to the village entrance to ride an ox cart.
Gu Qiu met a girl named Gu Chunhua in the village yesterday, and now he wants to play with her.
Gu Dong and Xiao Zhuzi went to find Gu Qinghai again.
There were several aunts from the village riding on the bullock cart, and they all liked Gu Xia's gentle manner.
I also stuffed him with some dried sweet potatoes.
She kept praising him for his good looks, which made him blush.
When he arrived at the town purchasing station, Gu Xia asked the staff.
"Hello, do you accept medicinal materials?"
The staff member, Xiao Luo, saw that he was young and was a little distrustful. "Do you have medicinal materials? Do you know how to recognize them?"
Gu Xia didn't care. He nodded with a smile and took out two honeysuckle plants from the basket on his back.
"Some are in bloom and some are not in bloom. I dried them separately for you to see."
Xiao Luo looked surprised. Few people knew that the medicinal effects of honeysuckle are different when they bloom and when they don't bloom.
The ones without flowers are better and more expensive.
He took over the two herbs and handled them very well. It seemed that the child knew what he was doing.
He nodded, "Yes, kid, do you know about medicinal materials?"
"A little bit, not much. What's the price?"
"The price of dried medicinal materials will be higher. You know that the flowering ones are not that effective, so you pay 50 cents per catty, and 80 cents per catty for the unflowered ones."
Gu Xia nodded and accepted the price, then walked out and asked her uncle to bring in everything he had carried.
"Here are some coptis, isatis root, and bupleurum. See if you can harvest them."
In the end, they sold five pounds of honeysuckle and got three yuan and seventy cents.
Because other medicinal materials were dug up from the roots, they were relatively heavy and the price was not low. I got five yuan.
The person at the buying station before leaving also told him that he could sell it next time because they needed medicinal materials.
Uncle Gu didn't speak the whole time and was still dazed until he walked out.
"Xiao Xia, those grasses were sold for only eight yuan?"
Gu Xia nodded, "Yes, uncle, eight dollars and seventy cents."
"Uncle, you helped me with the medicinal materials and the dustpan. I'll give you three yuan. Let's buy some things for the rest and go home."
Uncle Gu quickly pushed back, "How can I take your child's money? No, no, no."
Gu Xia didn't want to push her around on the street, so she planned to go home.
They went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, bought some candies and pastries and went home.
He Ling was cooking when she got home. "You're back. My mother asked someone to bring us a piece of meat just now. I'll make a stew for you today."
He Ling's father was a butcher and worked in a slaughterhouse. The couple loved their daughter very much and would ask someone to send her some meat from time to time.
Gu Qiu has come back and is helping her.
Gu Dong was still running around the village with Xiao Zhuzi. When he smelled the fragrance near his home, he rolled his eyes.
"Children, the time is up. You all go back and come out to play again in the afternoon."
Within two days, she had become a king, and the children were very obedient and went home.
She also took the little bamboo home.
"Fourth sister, why did you let them go back?"
Gu Dong knocked him on the head, "Stupid, don't you smell it?
The eldest aunt must have prepared delicious food. What if they want to come and eat too?
Don't let them go home quickly. "
Xiao Zhuzi was not angry even after being knocked on the head. He smiled and felt that his fourth sister was very smart.
As soon as you enter the yard, you can smell a more fragrant smell.
Xiao Zhuzi ran into the kitchen and hugged He Ling's thigh, "Auntie, what is something delicious to eat?"
He Ling freed up her hand and patted his head, "Eat the stew. Go and wash your little face and hands. Come back for dinner later."
Sitting at the dining table, Xiao Zhuzi's mouth was watering.
The stewed meat is fat but not greasy, and the meat is elastic and delicious. A piece of meat can be eaten with half a bowl of rice.
They ate without looking up.
After eating and resting, Gu Xia took out the money he earned and said, "Uncle, I'll give you three yuan."
Uncle Gu pushed again, "Take it back, take it back, what will I do with your money?"
He Ling was confused, "Why did the second brother give your uncle money?"
"Auntie, this is what I earned from selling herbs today. My uncle also helped, so I want to share the money with him."
"Oh my god, how much money can you make just by picking those grasses?"
Uncle Gu smiled and said, "It's not just that. I sold it for more than eight yuan. It cost more than one yuan to buy those candies and pastries."
He Ling couldn't believe it, "Those grasses are so valuable?"
Gu Xia shook his head, "It's not grass, it's herbs. You have to know how to identify them. Uncle, aunt, I'll teach you how to handle them. You can pick them and sell them yourself."
Gu Xia also heard in the city that although you can grow vegetables and food in the countryside, life is not easy.
It would be great if this herbal medicine could improve my uncle's life.
Uncle Gu waved his hand, "How can I ask you to teach us your housekeeping skills?"
Gu Xia said it was not a special skill, it was very simple.
Gu Qiu was there to help persuade the uncle and aunt, and Gu Dong and Xiao Zhuzi acted coquettishly and cutely. The couple just fell in love.
