Chapter 8 8. Squat on the ground and start grinding

"Mom, please eat as much as you can!"

The three sons took turns persuading Yue Jiu to eat.

Yue Jiuyue waved his hand and said:

"No, you won't starve to death even if you don't eat. Come on, let's go up to the mountain to dig for herbs. If we dig more, we can sell more copper coins in exchange for more food."

She said this righteously, but in fact her stomach was still full. Seeing that there were still two-thirds of the big steamed buns left in the space, she felt that the three cents were well spent.

"Mom, I don't know if this is a medicinal herb. Do you really want to continue digging for it?"

After lunch, which was no different than lunch, Lin Chaodong made a small protest against his mother's behavior of digging weeds.

Yue Jiuyue frowned, it seemed that the confirmation of the herbal medicine had to be done in advance.

"Well, facing south or north, who of you will carry a basket and go to the medical clinic in the town to ask the doctor?"

Yue Jiuyue actually wanted to go by himself, and take a look at what was available in the town and what the prices were. But thinking that he could quietly exchange more small coins with Mall No. 2023 by going to the mountain, Yue Jiuyue suppressed this idea.

There will be many opportunities in the town in the future, but the opportunity to make money is right in front of her. The matter of digging medicinal materials cannot be hidden. As long as she wants to make this money, she has to run to the mountains every day. She does not want to be the target of public criticism, so she puts the medicinal materials

He told the patriarch’s wife, Mrs. Wang, about the incident.

"Mom, I'm going!"

"Mom, I'm going!"

The two brothers spoke out at the same time, and their attitude was much more proactive than usual when they went to fetch water from the mountains.

Lin Chaodong was also yearning for it. He hadn't been to the town for a long time.

Lin Chaodong, like most eldest brothers, has a somewhat dull temperament and is not as lively as his three younger brothers, although he was also very naughty when he was a child.

This was also the reason why Yue Jiuyue chose to let Lin Chaonan or Lin Chaobei go. She was afraid that Lin Chaodong would go to the east and was embarrassed to speak.

After thinking about it, Yue Jiuyue let Lin Chaonan go. After all, Lin Chaobei was only sixteen years old and was still a minor to her.

"The third child goes to the hospital in town to ask about medicinal herbs, the eldest brother goes to fetch water, the fourth child goes to the mountains with me to dig for medicinal herbs, and the eldest daughter-in-law will stay at home to take care of the children."

If Mrs. Liu hadn't been crying all the time, Yue Jiuyue would have asked her to go dig medicinal materials in the mountains.

One less labor force means two or three taels of silver are lost!

It can be seen how much Yue Jiuyue dislikes Mrs. Liu and would rather make less money than see her.

Lin Chaonan grinned so happily that he almost reached the back of his head. After picking out every medicinal material he had dug up today, he put them into a basket and set off happily towards the town.

While Lin Chaonan was picking medicinal materials, Lin Chaodong had already carried a bucket to the mountains, and Yue Jiuyue also took a somewhat unhappy Lin Chaobei to the mountains to dig herbs.

Yue Jiuyue didn't care whether he was happy or not. Although he was still a minor, he was already sixteen years old and not a child anymore.

"Towards the north, dig these two medicinal herbs and take a good look at them. What you want from this thin grass (polygala) with long slender leaves is its root.

There is also this kind of old crow’s eye (pinellia), which also needs the root at the bottom, the round ball.”

After instructing Lin Chaobei to do the work, Yue Jiuyue squatted on the ground and started "working hard".

She was seen pulling weeds with both hands, but there wasn't much grass in the pile. It looked like she was just working hard.

Seeing that the balance changed from starting at 4 to starting at 5, Yue Jiuyue was as happy as a fat man weighing 200 pounds, even though he was tired and had backache.
