Three Harvests
After surviving the hot summer, the fruitful autumn finally arrived. Everyone in Daoxiang Village went to the fields to harvest with joy, and Sanhan was no exception.
The green seedlings all over the ground finally sprouted fruits. The autumnal equinox blew and the crops in the fields moved with the wind. The three of them looked at the gratifying scene in front of them. After more than ten years of living in chaos, their hearts finally felt full. I don’t know.
Whether they were shocked by the scene in front of them or moved that their efforts during this period were not in vain, the three brothers looked at me and I looked at you, and the corners of their eyes turned red.
"When we destroyed other people's crops, we were really not human beings." Han San looked at the fields and was silent for a long time before uttering these words.
Han Er patted him on the shoulder and shouted, "Let's go." The three of them picked up their hoes and got down to the ground together.
The three of them picked up the hoes and suddenly stopped on the spot, staring at each other. No one took action for a long time. Xiaohan couldn't help but raised his hand: "Which one of you will recycle this thing?"
The other two good brothers shook their heads at the same time.
An Xiaoxiao came back from the back mountain. When she stepped into the hospital, she saw the three of them sitting in the lobby again, sneaking around and doing something unknown. She sighed and gave each of them a firm shudder with her knuckles.
She knew it would be like this.
"Hey, auntie, don't beat us silly." Han Er jumped to his feet in pain and screamed.
"No matter how stupid you are, that's all." An Xiaoxiao replied coldly, glanced at them, sighed, let's go, turned around and walked out of the medical center again.
"Auntie, where are you going!" Sanhan quickly chased after her.
"Go and collect herbs!"
Picking medicinal materials is a delicate job, and if you make the slightest mistake, it may cause damage. Sanhan and a few big guys were sweating profusely after not doing it for a long time. Xiaohan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed: "This is comparable to planting."
The ground is still tired.”
Indeed, they can't blame them for this. The work of picking medicinal materials generally requires careful people, and most of them hire peasant women or have their own wives do it.
An Xiaoxiao stood up and glanced at them without saying anything.
Who makes you have no money and no wife?
Under An Xiaoxiao's guidance, the medicinal materials were picked within two days, and they happily placed a bag full of results in front of An Xiaoxiao.
Several sacks were laid out, and An Xiaoxiao reached out to inspect some of them. She smelled them, bit them with her teeth, and finally smacked her mouth.
How to say it? Use four words to describe it.
Horrible.
"Auntie, how are you? Are you qualified?" Xiaohan kept rubbing his hands with a nervous look on his face.
The words he wanted to complain about rolled on the tip of his tongue. An Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time and then said: "Based on the price originally agreed upon, I will accept it all."
"Okay!" Sanhan cheered. Several people carefully removed the dirt and gravel inside, poured it out and weighed it. An Xiaoxiao settled the account with them on the spot and paid them the money.
After all these twists and turns, after deducting the money they borrowed from An Xiaoxiao, the three brothers received not much, but it was enough to live in the village. The three of them immersed themselves in the calculation and decided to go to the town in a few days.
"Want to drink again?" An Xiaoxiao crossed her arms.
"No way." Han San quickly shook his head, smiled sheepishly, and whispered: "We want to buy something to send to Brother Wang's family."
An Xiaoxiao was stunned, she really hadn't thought of this.
"Then we also want to buy some seeds." Haner answered and smiled flatteringly at An Xiaoxiao: "Auntie, should we continue to plant this?"
People who have tasted the benefits of labor finally have motivation, and some want to take advantage of this motivation to work a few more times and save some money for wives.
"Who planted this in the middle of the winter? To say you are stupid is really stupid." An Xiaoxiao tapped each of the three of them on their foreheads with hatred, then left with her hands behind her hands, "Don't wait yet, wait for my news."
Several people covered their foreheads and stood there looking at each other.
The next day, An Xiaoxiao rushed to the county without stopping. As soon as he entered the county, he went straight to the medical clinic. The handsome young man's eyes were focused and he was giving acupuncture to the patient in the hall. The neck that was lowered and exposed was slender and white. An Xiaoxiao leaned against it.
Standing by the door, I had a good time to admire it.
After withdrawing the needle and carefully instructing the patient on the precautions, the owner of the museum looked up and met An Xiaoxiao's smiling eyes. She was startled for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and brought the patient into the museum, smiling.
He said, "Miss An, why are you here?"
"I came to see you for something." An Xiaoxiao took out half a small bag of Sanhanzhong's medicinal materials from his sleeves and handed it over, "Help me estimate the price. If I charge it to your medical clinic, how much would you charge."
"This," Guanzhu Jiang was unambiguous. She poured out the fruit from the bag and examined it carefully for a moment, showing a troubled expression.
"It's okay to just say it."
"This kind is of the lowest quality. Our medical center usually does not accept these." The owner of the hospital fiddled with the medicinal materials in his hand a few times, shook his head, and said frankly: "If it were An Niang, I would prescribe at most three Wen per pound.
price."
He is a real person. An Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly. If she accepted it, she could only give two cents at most.
"Can you show me the medicinal materials you usually collect?"
This question was bold and abrupt. An Xiaoxiao was prepared to be rejected. Unexpectedly, the owner of the museum did not hesitate and led her directly to the backyard, "Follow me."
"Are you usually so unguarded against everyone?" An Xiaoxiao followed him, saw the apprentices busy going out, and the medicinal materials dried all over the floor, and thought of his shabby medical clinic, shaking his head secretly.
"I trust Miss An as a person." The owner of the store, Jiang, opened the door of the backyard storage warehouse for medicinal materials and made room for her to enter, "just like Miss An trusts me."
"The one on the right is the lower grade, priced at five to seven cents. The middle one is slightly better, priced at seven to fifteen cents per catty. The one on the far left can be priced at twenty cents per catty." Jiang Guanzhu brought An Xiaoxiao to
In front of the categories of medicinal materials she brought over, she introduced them one by one.
An Xiaoxiao was not polite and started to look at it carefully. Finally, he sighed and put the medicinal materials back.
Compared with this bunch, the ones grown by Sanhan are probably not good enough even if they are given away for free.
"I have a hundred pounds there, do you want to take it or not?" An Xiaoxiao said deliberately.
"Okay, should I send someone to the village to collect it, or should Miss An have someone deliver it up?"
The owner of the store, Jiang, once again surprised An Xiaoxiao. She said with an irony of irony: "Do you understand whether you know how to do business or not? You will suffer a loss like this."
"Isn't it the same with Miss An? You didn't grow this, right?" Jiang Guanzhang smiled slightly, shook the small half bag of medicinal materials in his hand, and said with a wink: "A person who is so familiar with medicinal materials will not know how to grow it even if he doesn't know how to farm."
Come up with something like this.”
"My father said that when he came to your village before, he saw three men planting medicinal herbs." Jiang Guanzhu thought of his adoptive father's angry face and burst into laughter.
"The seedlings were planted crookedly and the weeds were not cleared away. How could our agriculture be so desolate!" Jiang's father complained.
An Xiaoxiao imagined it for a moment and laughed out loud.
After the two chatted about business, An Xiaoxiao stayed at the hospital to have a meal and talk about the medical procedures. The owner of the hospital called for someone to send An Xiaoxiao back in a carriage, and then sent someone to drive the cow she rented when she came.
The car followed behind.
An Xiaoxiao originally didn't want to go to such trouble, but then she thought about it, it was no use, and she could enjoy the "privileges brought by rights" with peace of mind.
