Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Ever since Zhou Xiaonan found out that the honeysuckle flowers she and her sister picked were sold for 800 coins, the little girl's eyes have been shining brightly as if they were electrified.

She felt that through her diligence and her sister's intelligence, she could make money in the medicinal materials business, and maybe even make a lot of money in the future!

"Sister, we can get up early tomorrow to pick some of the honeysuckle flowers on the mountain. And Grandpa Zhang told me before that Panax notoginseng can also be dug in this season."

"Oh, by the way, we can also wait until the seeds mature in winter. That would be perfect. We'll have more time after we finish collecting the herbs for Dad. Oh, we also have to be careful of the villagers causing trouble..."

The little girl kept chattering. She was originally talking to her sister, but Zhou Xiaoxi didn't interrupt her, so she ended up talking to herself.

Zhou Xiaonan suddenly realized what was happening and felt a little embarrassed. "Sister, why don't you say anything?"

Zhou Xiaoxi feels like she is raising a daughter. If she could give birth to such a cute and sensible daughter in the future, she would wake up smiling in her dreams.

Well, what were I thinking? In this time and space, I guess I will be an old maid for the rest of my life.

There is no other way. In a feudal society, where can you find a man with the same values ​​as you? The probability of finding an alien may be greater than this.

Somehow, the image of that beautiful boy suddenly appeared in my mind. I quickly shook my head and drove the image out of my mind.

What are you thinking about? A country toad like me has no right to covet the noble black swan.

Besides, no matter how good-looking someone is, you can never accept someone who doesn’t share the same values ​​as you.

When I thought about such a beautiful boy, who would have many wives and concubines in the future, I suddenly felt, well, dirty...

"What are you thinking about, sister?"

"Black Swan."!!!

"Huh? What is that?"

Zhou Xiaonan is ready to start the "A Hundred Thousand Whys" mode.

I pinched myself secretly and quickly came back to reality.

Zhou Xiaoxi smiled awkwardly, pretended not to hear, and immediately changed the subject.

"Xiao Nan, you seem to have forgotten the most important thing—Panax notoginseng is harder to find than ginseng."

That is priceless. In the past life, it was almost impossible to find pure wild Panax notoginseng.

What's more, in their small mountain village, there is no place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so such precious medicinal herbs cannot grow at all!

It seems that Xiaonan was blinded by the 800 coins.

"Oh, I was stupid. I only thought about the right season and completely forgot to consider everything else!" My shoulders slumped in an instant.

Isn't this just a little nerd? Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but tease in his heart.

However, I am really looking forward to the day when my sister becomes a little nerd in the future.

Unable to bear seeing her feel lost, Zhou Xiaoxi began to search for information in his mind.

"By the way, Xiaonan, we saw Cassia seeds on the mountain. At that time, we all thought they were peanuts. You even said that we should wait until they were ripe before digging them up."

At that time, the two sisters were excitedly discussing that they could grow peanuts at home next year after the fruits were ripe. Doctor Zhang was laughing so hard that his beard was shaking.

But that amount of Cassia seeds doesn't seem to be worth much. It would be great if they could be cultivated artificially...

Yes, why not?! And honeysuckle, wild ginger...

Zhou Xiaoxi seemed to have found a small way to make money.

……

Early the next morning, the two sisters went up the mountain with baskets on their backs, hoes in their hands, and the dream of getting rich.

This time the two sisters planned to go a little deeper into the mountain and made some preparations for safety.

Passing by some places they used to go, Zhou Xiaonan saw that the wormwood bush had been tossed beyond recognition. She ran over to check it out distressedly, and then returned to her sister with a frustrated look.

"Sister, they think they can sell them for money, so they just pick them and take them home. Why waste them?"

This is probably the nature of this kind of people. They only see the gains and losses, and never know how to cherish and be grateful.

Touching the little girl's furry head, Zhou Xiaoxi did not explain, but just told his sister:

"Xiao Nan, we just need to make ourselves better and better. If everyone can have this awareness, this world will be a wonderful place."

In fact, most people are lenient with themselves and strict with others.

The two found a large cluster of honeysuckle flowers, some of which had already bloomed, but fortunately most of them were still in bud.

In order to ensure the quality of the medicinal materials, the two sisters divided the work, one picking flowers and the other picking buds.

Although the already bloomed ones still retain some medicinal properties, they are still somewhat inferior to the buds. Therefore, the prices of the two are also very different.

After picking the honeysuckle flowers, the two found cassia seeds as planned, but unlike the honeysuckle flowers, this plant grew very scattered and the overall number was small.

Zhou Xiaonan was a little disappointed. "Sister, there are too few Cassia seeds. We can't sell them at all."

"Xiao Nan, I'm not interested in studying medicine, but I'm still obsessed with growing flowers and vegetables. Herbs and vegetables are both plants, so they must have something in common in terms of growth. I think as long as I study hard, I will definitely gain something, so let's take them home as seeds and plant them in the yard next year."

When talking about flowers and plants, Zhou Xiaoxi immediately turned into a child, full of longing and expectation for the future, just like other children looking forward to wearing new clothes.

It was a rare occasion for Zhou Xiaonan to see her sister's childish side. She squatted on the ground with her hands on her cheeks, quietly listening to her sister's thoughts.

There is a piece of abandoned land behind their house. Zhou Xiaoxi plans to tidy up the place when he has more time, put up a fence, and raise a dozen chickens.

In this way, by the spring of next year, the vacant land will be much more fertile and the soil will be much looser, making it much easier to reclaim the land at that time.

At that time, you can plant the saved Cassia seeds in the ground. After all this trouble, if you take good care of it, the yield may be better than that of crops.

As for why it cannot be planted directly in the fields, of course it cannot.

The Da'an Kingdom has issued a clear ban on the abuse of arable land. Food is the most important livelihood issue and nothing else can replace it.

After listening to her sister's story, Zhou Xiaonan's restless heart slowly calmed down.

It's not that easy to make money. You have to be willing to spend time and effort, and most importantly, you have to keep using your brain. It's useless to be so impatient!

The two put all the cassia seeds they saw into a small cloth bag. Zhou Xiaonan looked at Zhou Xiaoxi with his big, confused eyes.

"Sister, what are we going to do next? Are we going to go deeper into the mountains?"

Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know since when this sister became so dependent on him.

It's like a cute and ignorant little rabbit, except for two big ears.

Huh? Big ears...

She seemed to have thought of another way to make money, but it was still early, so she would talk about it later.
