Chapter 29 29. Picking herbs to make money
Chapter 29 29. Make money by collecting herbs, busy farming and harvest
The next day, after breakfast, Lin Qingxi took Lin Yizheng and four others to the clinic. When they arrived, Zhou Jihong and Zhou Jixi not only arrived, but also followed Lin Qingxi's instructions to clean the clinic.
I boiled another pot of hot water and let it cool down.
"Yizheng, Yirong, you two are responsible for teaching Akihito and the other five about the contents of this book. I will conduct an inspection on you in a week. The last one will have to run ten laps around the barn and be hired by the clinic for a month.
Hygiene," Lin Qingxi finished speaking, took out the two books she had written after staying up late, and placed them on the clinic table.
"I know, sister-in-law." After hearing Lin Qingxi's words, the others said nothing. On the contrary, the Lin Yizheng brothers were very excited because they were going to be teachers for everyone.
After receiving the assignment, the brothers Lin Yizheng began to teach seriously. Zhou Jihong and the others also studied very seriously. When they were at home, their elders told them that when studying medicine, don't be afraid of hardship and hardship. As long as you learn it, that's it.
Used for a lifetime.
The morning passed quickly. In the afternoon, Lin Qingxi and Lin Yizheng said something and took the villagers up the mountain to pick herbs with their backpacks on their backs.
After knowing that collecting herbs can make money, it can be said that all the people in Zhoujiacun came out. Of course, the people who were not walking well with their hands and Yi Zheng and others did not follow.
Lin Qingxi was patient and taught everyone how to identify herbal medicines seriously. The atmosphere on the mountain was very quiet, and she did not dare to take everyone into the depths. It was very convenient and safe to collect herbs in the middle area.
"Girl Xi, look at this one I picked, right?"
"Girl Xi, look at this one that Auntie picked, right?"
…
Lin Qingxi did not collect herbs, but instead picked wild fruits from the surrounding wild fruit trees. Lin Yizheng and the other four had never eaten these, so she planned to pick them back for them to eat and make wild fruit wine by the way.
From time to time, villagers would ask Lin Qingxi about a plant they picked, whether it was an herbal medicine and whether she could harvest it. Whenever such a situation happened, Lin Qingxi would answer the questions for the villagers seriously.
Time flew by and soon entered the busy farming period at the end of October. The villagers stopped collecting herbs and everyone devoted themselves to the important task of harvesting grain from the fields.
While the villagers were busy harvesting grain in the fields, Lin Qingxi stayed at the clinic tinkering with her herbal medicine. She was also very busy, but fortunately she had ten helpers to help her.
Some of the villagers chose to dry the herbs themselves before selling them to Lin Qingxi, just to make a little more money, while others chose to come down from the mountain and wait until Lin Qingxi was sure there was nothing wrong with the herbs before selling them directly to her.
No matter what, the villagers in Zhoujia Village have more or less made some money. Those who work more at home earn twenty or thirty yuan, and those who work less earn more than ten yuan.
After receiving the money, the people in Zhoujia Village were very grateful to Lin Qingxi and the old Zhou family. If they hid their secrets, everyone would definitely not make any money.
Of course, Lin Qingxi is the one who makes the most money. Some of the herbs are often used, so she keeps some of them to make pills and powders. She also keeps some of the other herbs as spares, and the rest
I bought all of them from pharmacies in Qinghe City.
After all, the whole village was collecting medicine. In just two or three months, Lin Qingxi made a net profit of more than 300 yuan by selling medicine. Then every time she went to Qinghe City to sell medicine, she would send a batch of supplies.
They were sold on the black market, or sold to old ladies, middle-aged men and women, and little kids walking alone. These people all used old objects to trade with Lin Qingxi for food.
Of course, she did not miss Aunt Li's place at the county textile factory, and would go there from time to time.
The busy farming period lasted for more than 20 days, and Lin Qingxi also spent more than 20 days making medicine. When she was making medicine, Zhou Jihong and several other children were watching, and everyone was studying very seriously.
As soon as the busy farming period ended and the grain was dried, Zhou Guitang organized the villagers to go to the county town to hand over the grain.
On the third day, Zhou Guitang called the villagers to gather in the grain field to distribute food to the villagers.
"Everyone, be quiet. The food distribution will begin now. One person from each family will come up to press their fingerprints and receive a food note. After the meeting is over, everyone will take the note to the warehouse to receive their own food and go home."
Before Zhou Guitang finished speaking, the villagers consciously found a place to stand one by one, waiting for their names to be reported before going up.
"Zhou Guijiang, with 6,358 work points, you can get 70 yuan."
"Zhou Guilin, one thousand six hundred work points, received twenty yuan."
"Zhou Guihe, for 586 work points, you can get 60 yuan."
"Zhou Guiping, for six thousand one hundred work points, you can get sixty yuan."
…
"Lin Qingxi, nine hundred and fifty work points, no payment." The accountant was the last one to report Lin Qingxi's work points. After reporting hers, everyone took their notes and went to the warehouse to collect food.
"Girl Xi, the reason why we don't give you any money is because you only started to count your work points on the way, and you will also charge for medical treatment for the villagers. We are worried that giving you money will make everyone have opinions about you, so we plan to end the year
When dividing the fish and meat, do you have any objection if I give you a little more?"
After everyone had left, Zhou Guitang opened his mouth to explain, lest Lin Qingxi would be dissatisfied with them.
Although Zhou Guitang didn't explain and Lin Qingxi didn't say anything, his explanation made her feel a lot more comfortable and also made her realize that she had to hide her clumsiness.
"It's okay, Uncle Tang, I can understand, then I'll go get the food," Lin Qingxi said, nodding to Zhou Guitang and others, and walked towards the warehouse.
Zhoujia Village is different from other villages. They distribute food according to the number of people, not according to work points. A person over fifteen years old has forty-five kilograms of grain a month, and a person under fifteen years old has thirty kilograms of grain a month.
Basically, they are coarse grains. As for each person's work points, he can choose to exchange them for grains and money.
When Lin Qingxi arrived at the warehouse, most of the people had already left with the food they had received, and only a few people were still lining up.
After waiting in line for less than ten minutes, it was Lin Qingxi's turn. She handed the note to the scorer and heard the scorer say: "Doctor Lin, are your work points exchanged for food or money?"
"In exchange for food, half for white flour and half for coarse grains," Lin Qingxi said calmly. She was not short of money, so naturally she would not change money. Although she was not short of food, there was always enough food.
"Okay, one hundred centimeters can be exchanged for fifty kilograms of coarse grains. If you exchange for fine grains, one hundred centimeters can only be exchanged for thirty kilograms. Have you thought about it?" The scorekeeper opened his mouth and wanted to persuade her to exchange for coarse grains, but he failed.
It's hard to speak.
"Then exchange for one hundred and fifty kilograms of white flour and two hundred and fifty kilograms of whole grains," Lin Qingxi nodded affirmatively. The coarse grains can be swapped out, and the fine grains can be kept for herself.
