Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

After talking about the bicycle, Meng Haisheng brought up the matter of Bupleurum.

"Dad, I asked the county Chinese medicine hospital today, and they are particularly short of Bupleurum recently."

"Tomorrow you and your elder brother go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum, and when it is dried, we will take it to the Chinese medicine hospital to sell."

"After dinner tonight, I have to go to my second uncle and ask them to go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum."

Meng Haisheng planned to mobilize all the men in the family to go to the mountain to dig Bupleurum.

"Haisheng, is this really reliable? Digging Bupleurum is not an easy job. What if you can't sell it after digging it?" Meng Guangzhu asked worriedly.

The villagers are all hardworking farmers and have never been involved in business. Meng Haisheng suddenly proposed to do Bupleurum trading, which made Meng Guangzhu feel a little doubtful.

"Dad, don't worry, I will sell Bupleurum no matter what." Meng Haisheng said confidently.

"I have to go to the village party secretary later and publicize it on the loudspeaker to see if there are still people in the village who are willing to dig Bupleurum with us to sell."

Hearing that Meng Haisheng even wanted other people in the village to dig Bupleurum together, Meng Guangzhu immediately expressed his opposition.

"No, it's fine if our own people can't dig it, but what if you let the villagers dig it and can't sell it?"

Meng Guangzhu's concerns are also reasonable. After all, Meng Haisheng's reputation in the village is not very good.

If Bupleurum can't be sold, his image in the village will be even more difficult to save.

"Then trust me this time, I promise I won't let you down." Meng Haisheng knew that his past behavior had disappointed his father, and he needed this opportunity to prove himself.

Seeing Meng Guangzhu's hesitation, Qu Lan said dissatisfiedly: "If my own son doesn't believe it, who else can I believe? Haisheng, you go ahead and do it, Mom believes in you, and you will succeed."

Seeing his mother's firm support for him, Meng Haisheng's eyes couldn't help but redeem. He clearly remembered his mother's hard work and sacrifice.

He suddenly stepped forward and hugged Qu Lan tightly. "Mom, don't worry, I will be your biggest support in this life."

"You little brat, stop bragging." Qu Lan said with a smile, but her voice was choked with sobs. "In the business of Bupleurum, you have to show me how to do it no matter what."

Qu Lan raised her head slightly, looked at the deep night sky, and tried not to let her tears fall. Among her four children, Meng Haisheng was the smartest and the one that worried her the most. She never thought that he would change suddenly.

Seeing his wife support Meng Haisheng like this, Meng Guangzhu said nothing more. "Then how do you plan to buy Bupleurum?"

"I plan to sell it at 1.5 yuan per catty in the Chinese medicine hospital, and buy it from the villagers at most 1 yuan per catty. If people from other villages come to sell it, I can only buy it at 80 cents per catty. And I only buy big Bupleurum, not small ones."

Meng Guangzhu couldn't help but frowned again when he heard that Meng Haisheng planned to make 50 cents from the villagers for each catty of Bupleurum.

You earn 50 cents per pound from the villagers, isn't that too much? "Meng Guangzhu said with worry and concern.

Meng Haisheng replied: "Dad, I have to take risks when I collect Bupleurum. If I can't sell it, I have to find other ways to deal with it, and too much inventory is also a burden."

Meng Guangzhu didn't say anything more, but went to find Meng Jianguo and asked him to notify on the loudspeaker that if there are still people in the village who want to dig Bupleurum to sell, everyone can go up the mountain together tomorrow.

After Meng Haisheng took Momo out, he came back with a large basket of small water radishes soon.

"Mu Cheng, is the water radish season almost over? What kind of radish will be used in the salad after that?" Meng Haisheng asked.

He just learned from Wu Lixia that all the water radishes in their fields have been harvested today, and if they want to use them again, there will be no more.

"I will go to the village tomorrow to ask who still has water radishes, and use them first." Mu Cheng said, "The small water radishes in our fields can be harvested in a few days, so we should be able to catch up. ”

Her family’s vegetable field is not big, and they don’t grow many small water radishes.

Meng Haisheng suggested: “We don’t have many small water radishes. I estimate that the number of cold dishes will increase later. Otherwise, you should collect some vegetables from our village or other villages.”

“Don’t worry about this. There are still many vegetables at home.” Mu Cheng said.

Seeing Mu Cheng say this, Meng Haisheng said nothing more. He believed that Mu Cheng could properly handle the cold dishes.

More than 100 kilograms of cold dishes will be sent out tomorrow. He knew that it was impossible for Mu Cheng to get up early to cut vegetables, so he took a kitchen knife and an iron basin and cut vegetables with Mu Cheng in the yard.

Not long after, Qu Lan and Wu Lixia also came to help with iron basins and kitchen knives. The four people worked together, and the speed of cutting vegetables was obviously faster.

“Haisheng, when you go to town tomorrow, you must bring back a few more buckets of soy sauce. These at home are only enough for one time.” MuCheng reminded.

She used soy sauce and salt to pickle carrots and radishes in an iron basin. The iron basin was bigger than a wash basin, and the soy sauce in it must have weighed at least five or six kilograms.

"The soy sauce in the town's supply and marketing cooperative is expensive. We might as well go directly to Liujiazhuang to buy a few jars of good ones." Wu Lixia suggested.

Her mother's family is in Liujiazhuang, where there is a family that brews soy sauce and sells it all year round.

The surrounding villages like to buy soy sauce there because the soy sauce in Liujiazhuang tastes good and is cheap.

"Sister-in-law is right. I will buy some soy sauce after delivering the salad tomorrow." Meng Haisheng said.

He thought that the seasonings for the family could be bought from the surrounding farmers, and only the salt needed to be purchased from the supply and marketing cooperative. Next time he goes to the market, he plans to buy more coarse salt to store.

While they were busy in the yard, Meng Jianguo's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Meng Haisheng's family buys dried Bupleurum Root, one yuan per pound for more than two years old. Those who are interested can send it directly to Meng Haisheng's house tomorrow afternoon."

He shouted three times in a row to ensure that every household could hear it.

"Tomorrow I will also go up the mountain with my father to dig Bupleurum Root. Although I can't be as strong as a male laborer, I can earn some tuition for Dabao and Erbao." Wu Lixia looked at Qu Lan, full of joy.
