The fierce peasant woman is busy farming
Chapter 15: Counting the Gifts
Song Yuan responded, "You guys continue eating, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now."
If you have any problems in the future, just go to Zheng’s Pharmacy in the county, mention my name, Song Yuan, and ask them to send a letter to me.
As long as it does not violate the law or go against human ethics, Song will definitely help if he can.
Please give my regards to Mr. Ning for me. I am covered in dust and I won't go in to bother him.
Goodbye, no need to see me off."
After saying this, he looked around and nodded to everyone.
Finally, he looked at Ning Xiucai deeply again, turned and left.
The Ning family members escorted them to the gate and watched them leave in a cloud of dust.
Ning Yuan sighed only after watching the cavalry go away.
Zhou Yue looked at him as if he was a fool, said nothing, and went back to the yard.
The family finished their meal in silence and no one mentioned Song Yuan again.
Zhou Yue was wondering, who is this Lord Song, and has this human trafficking case really been cleared up?
Don't let any remnants of the gang get involved.
The others were thinking, how tempted they were to open those big boxes and take a look.
After packing up, Zhou Yue took the children and moved the big boxes to the hall, ready to take inventory.
When I opened the first box, the rich smell of medicinal herbs hit me.
No one felt anything about this because they didn't know him.
But Zhou Yue knew him.
There was something different about her that was different from others, which she discovered after she got married. Because her child was weak, she often took her child to play outdoors.
Friends who were traveling with her at the time discovered that she knew a lot of plants.
Some of those plants were ones she had known since childhood.
What's more, although she didn't recognize it, she remembered it after scanning it once with the plant identification app on her mobile phone.
The next time you see it, you will be able to recite its name and main functions.
Her friends often marveled at her talent, but she didn't care.
Later, one winter day, I was taking my children for a walk in the park with a friend.
She forgot what she was talking about, and naturally pointed to a tree beside the path in the park and said, "This lilac tree..."
The friend was surprised and said, "No, it's already so bald, how can you still recognize it as a lilac?"
"Don't you recognize it? I know it's not only a lilac, but I know it's a purple lilac."
"Oh my god, you might have opened your third eye, right?"
At that time, there was a very popular plot in a TV drama, which talked about opening the third eye or something, so my friend said that.
Of course she didn't have the third eye, but Zhou Yue realized from then on that not everyone has the ability to identify plants.
Later she noticed that this talent might actually be uncommon.
For example, she took her children to the wild to dig shepherd's purse in spring.
An elderly couple also dug a bag of wild vegetables. The aunt saw that she was digging very enthusiastically and asked:
"Help me check if what I dug is shepherd's purse. I see people dig wild vegetables, but I don't know which ones to pick. I'm afraid I might make a mistake and end up having problems eating them."
Then Zhou Yue picked out more than half of the grass that was not shepherd's purse from the plastic bag she handed over.
The aunt was frightened for a moment: "I see they all look the same. Fortunately I met you. I hope you won't get sick from eating them."
Her husband added: "I told you not to dig, but you didn't listen. Look, you almost got into trouble."
"My dear girl, are the things you picked out poisonous?" The aunt still refused to give up.
"Aunt, this is mud cabbage, this is great thistle, this is bitter vegetable, this is false shepherd's purse, this is artemisia selengensis, this is dandelion... These are not very poisonous. There are basically not many poisonous plants in our north, and the ones that are poisonous have obvious characteristics.
The ones you picked are not poisonous, at most they will give you diarrhea. Many people still dig dandelions everywhere, they are delicious and have medicinal value. By the way, some wild vegetables are not poisonous, but they don’t taste very good. ”
"Oh, I'm glad you showed me. I think they look exactly the same."
In the end, my aunt was so angry that she even threw the bag into the trash can.
Zhou Yue slowly confirmed his little talent.
But I feel it is useless. In modern society, we don’t really need to rely on wild vegetables to fill our stomachs.
Now that I have traveled through time, isn't it time to use it?
However, it seems that it is not a time of chaos now, and this family is not particularly short of food, but only of money.
Well, it seems that I am not short of money now.
However, the Ning family soon ran out of money.
The family counted the reward money given by the government and took inventory of the thank-you gifts sent by Lord Song.
They are all good things. Although most of the medicinal materials are not expensive, they are practical.
They are all commonly used medicinal materials, including Poria cocos, licorice, dried ginger, angelica, Codonopsis pilosula, and Astragalus membranaceus.
There are also less commonly used ones such as ephedra and rhubarb.
There is also a pack of Panax notoginseng.
When Zhou Yue saw the bag of Panax notoginseng, his eyes lit up.
She always felt that Mr. Ning’s leg injury was the biggest burden on the family.
Since I'm here, I should make the best of it. I've been supported and served by this family for so long, I should at least give something back.
If the old man's short legs could be cured, then these children would have an easier time.
The old man was a carpenter. After he recovered from his illness, he not only saved one person from taking care of him, but he could also continue to earn money.
However, this matter needs long-term consideration and cannot be rushed.
The box of cloth made Qian and the two girls very happy. I think women all like beautiful clothes.
The fabrics were all cotton and ramie, except for one piece of coarse silk.
It's just right for the Ning family to make clothes.
There were several small boxes under the cloth, containing some ordinary jewelry. When the women saw them, they exclaimed in amazement.
In fact, from Zhou Yue's perspective, those jewelries were really ordinary.
Most of them were made of copper-covered silver, and some were made of jade with a lot of impurities. There were all kinds of things, and they were packed into several small boxes.
The last box was filled with snacks: peach cakes, date cakes, lotus seed paste cakes, mung bean cakes...
It looks tempting and makes me want to eat it just by smelling it.
Even though Song Yuan spoke so nicely, he probably didn’t see the gifts in person.
They were all prepared by the subordinates.
However, you can see that it is very thoughtful.
This is the countryside, so jewelry can't be too expensive.
A man is innocent but is guilty of possessing a treasure. Too valuable jewelry is the source of disaster.
It would be better to be like it is now, with large quantity but low quality. The main word is "more".
Such jewelry won’t be eye-catching when you wear it yourself, and you won’t feel bad when you give it to others.
And the cloth is very suitable for farmers to wear. If you really bring some precious and delicate silk, it will be of no use.
As for the medicinal materials, in addition to those for treating colds and diarrhea, there are also those for replenishing qi and blood, and the others are a few medicines for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and setting bones.
Zhou Yue would definitely not believe that there was no thought put into this and no attempt to please the other party.
Of course, the person who is so thoughtful may not be Song Yuan, but Xie Ping.
This master and servant are interesting.
After opening the box of bedding, Zhou Yue liked this one the most. This one was the most practical among them.
Ning Yuancai also took a fancy to these beddings. His eyes lit up and he wanted to go forward and ask for them.
Before he could speak, Qian came over, flipped through the books, and said:
"These are four quilts, two of which are for Yuan Mo and Chun Niang. The quilts they made for their wedding were made of old cotton.
These are so soft and pliable to the touch, they must be new cotton. Just think of them as supplies from home.
Besides, my great-grandson is about to be born, and he will need something warmer by then.
The other two beds are left for Qingmo, and can be included in the dowry when he gets married. It will be both practical and prestigious, how nice.
It sounds auspicious that the wife of the official did it herself."
