Chapter 40: Someone Comes in the Middle of the Night
Shui Miaomiao pursed her lips and smiled when she heard what the village chief's wife said. She was the only one who knew why her cooking was so delicious. Not to mention that the food had been stored in the space for a long time. In her previous life, besides her medical skills, this was all she had.
The cooking skills are impressive.
Seeing that the Zhou brothers and sisters were eating happily, she felt happy too. She touched Zhou Yushan's hair and said, "Really? Can Aunt Shui make it next time and bring it to you?"
Little girl Zhou Yushan's eyes lit up. She swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded heavily, "Well, Aunt Niangshui must not forget me next time she makes something delicious."
"Sister Yushan, don't worry. I'll bring it to you next time I make something delicious." Shui Lanlan hugged Xiaobai and came to Zhou Yushan. Aunt Liu had just fed her two pieces of meat, and her mouth was full of meat.
Xiang, when she heard the conversation between her aunt and Yushan, she answered the question without thinking.
"You two little greedy cats." Liu Mei was a little helpless. Her two children were really close to Shui Miaomiao. They had eaten a lot of food from her in the past few days. When she was free, she would make two more for her two children.
pair of shoes.
"Girl Miaomiao, I'm going to the county tomorrow. First, I'll get your land and house deeds processed, and then I'll find an acquaintance to buy the materials together. Your courtyard over there isn't big enough, so I suggest you put the materials away then.
I'll move it here when I need it."
The village chief put down the chopsticks in his hands and came to sit down in the main room. He talked to Shui Miaomiao about building a house. He knew that her home didn't have much space, and there was a girl at home with two children. The people who built the house were all busy.
Being a man, it is very inconvenient to go back and forth.
Shui Miaomiao also knew this, and was very grateful for the village chief's suggestion. "Thank you, uncle village chief. I will leave the building of the house to my uncle and Zhiwei. There is one more thing I want to ask the village chief."
Village Chief Zhou took out his cigarette pipe and filled a pot with it. He looked at the two children who were staring at him. Remembering the last time they choked on cigarettes, he silently put down his cigarette pipe and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Let's talk about something, but we encountered some difficulty." The village chief thought she had encountered some difficulty, and the concern in his tone made Shui Miaomiao feel warm in her heart.
"The village chief also knows that I often go to the mountains to collect herbs. There are indeed many herbs on the mountains, and now is the season when herbs are ripe. I can't collect many by myself."
Shui Miaomiao himself saw what he saw when he went up the mountain a few days ago. There is no one picking at the back of the mountain all year round. Day after day, year after year, the number is skyrocketing. The number is actually quite large. It is a pity to let them waste it like this.
.
In addition, Mrs. Zhou and the others made a fuss yesterday, and she suddenly had another idea. She had two children at home, and it was too troublesome to go up the mountain every day. Why not leave the work of collecting herbs to the villagers and stay at home?
It is also good to buy fresh herbs and process them to earn a profit, so that you can spend more time with your two children.
Village Chief Zhou was shocked. What did Miaomiao girl mean by what she just said? Did she want to give the village the method of collecting herbs? "Miaomiao girl, you mean~"
"Well, I want the village chief to find a few people to learn how to collect herbs from me. As for the candidates, let the village chief choose them! After all, going up the mountain to collect herbs is actually quite dangerous. This needs to be made clear, otherwise it will be troublesome if something goes wrong.
.”
Shui Miaomiao handed over the candidates for collecting herbs to the village chief, and also told the possible dangers of collecting herbs, fearing that her good intentions would cause trouble in the end.
"Miaomiao girl, you don't have to be like this. You don't need to care about what those people say." Village Chief Zhou thought he was doing it because of what happened to those people yesterday. He shook his head and wanted to persuade her to give up that idea. After all, Shui Miaomiao was alone.
Having two children is not easy either.
"It's okay. Uncle village chief, listen to me. If I don't go up the mountain, I can buy back the herbs picked by the villagers, prepare them and sell them in the town. This way I can earn the price difference."
Shui Miaomiao was very touched that the village chief could think of her, but she still left the matter of going up the mountain to collect herbs to the villagers. She should spend more time with her two children when she had time.
Zhou Zhiwei was eager to try collecting herbs when he heard about it, but he had another idea: "Sister Miaomiao, you said those herbs can grow on the mountains, so can we plant them?"
The eyes of the village chief's wife and Liu Mei also lit up. If they could plant crops, wouldn't they be able to increase their income? Liu Mei was also impatient and stared at Shui Miaomiao expectantly and asked, "Sister Miaomiao, can this work?
I remember that there are a lot of transplants in the small courtyard where you live now."
"Well, I did plant some in my yard. In fact, of course these herbs can be grown, but no one has planted them yet." Shui Miaomiao's eyes also lit up. Planting herbs was also very common in the previous life, but I don't know if it is suitable here.
Suitable.
"Does that mean this idea is okay?" Zhou Zhiwei's eyes lit up completely, and he kept rubbing his big hands, not knowing how to express his inner emotions.
Liu Mei and he were husband and wife, so of course she knew how excited her husband was at this time. He didn't have the same scruples as his husband. He stood up and grabbed Shui Miaomiao's little hand, "Sister Miaomiao, you said it's okay, right?"
"Don't worry about it now. We'll have to wait and see if it can be planted." Shui Miaomiao did not deny it, but as she said, herbal planting still has to wait until she has researched and understood the planting matter.
At that time, I will lead everyone to plant together.
After chatting for a long time at the village chief's house, Zhou Zhiwei and his wife personally sent the person to the door of their home before turning around. Along the way, the two of them were still talking about collecting medicines, "Zhiweiwei, who do you want to talk to about collecting medicines?"
Zhou Zhiwei also thought about suitable people in the village and suddenly thought of a person. "Daughter-in-law, do you think Dali is suitable? He hunts in the mountains every day and should be able to encounter many medicinal herbs."
"Yes, Dali is a nice young man, but her mother really doesn't dare to compliment him." Liu Mei couldn't help but frown when she thought of Mrs. Fang. Thinking about provoking Mrs. Fang gave her a headache.
As the couple walked farther and farther away, the sounds they heard became fainter and fainter. Shui Miaomiao coaxed the two children to sleep, and the person appeared in the space in a flash.
In a few days, the space has changed. The black soil on the edge is now green. There are all the herbs she has transplanted these days. There are some of various varieties, and there are even a few rare varieties.
After busying for half an hour, I put down the water ladle in my hand and stretched. Looking at the large black land, I couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so tired. It's a pity to plant these ordinary varieties in such a good place."
But don’t worry, I will transplant it when I encounter it later. I also need to find a few fruits, so that I can have fruits to eat.
"Plop, plop" came the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground outside the space. Shui Miaomiao left the space instantly, tiptoed to the window, and looked out under the bright moonlight.
