Returning to the day when her husband was widowed, the fierce wife of the Nongmen went crazy Chapter 54: There is a Second Lady of Flowers in the Village
Chapter 54: There is a Second Lady of Flowers in the Village
In the morning, Li Cuihua took people into the mountains to collect herbs.
Fang Jing'an went back to look at the shop. Fang Qingshi and her sisters followed them into the mountain, but did not go to collect herbs and went directly back to Fang's house.
Nan looked at the backs of the two sisters, curled her lips, and asked where Fang Qingshi had such great ability and money to give them herbal medicine. Sure enough, it was her mother's family who helped.
Thinking about Mrs. Zhou again, she knew more than others across the wall. Although the embarrassing things happened one after another, she also felt that Mr. Zhou was quite pitiful. A woman had lived for most of her life, and nothing good happened after her son who was studying died.
Already.
"I heard that the Fang family is a great family. They opened a spice shop in Luwu County. No wonder they collect medicinal herbs." Mrs. Pan and her second sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, murmured in a low voice.
When Nan heard this, he came over in a few steps: "What's going on? Who said that?"
Pan's expression changed and she cleared her throat: "Qiangzi's father went to Luwu County and saw that the shop was not big."
"Okay, hurry up and collect the herbs. It doesn't matter what they are used for. We don't have to run errands to Luwu County and we can still sell them at a high price." Zheng made peace and went aside first.
Pan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm going west, what about you?"
"Go north." Nan carried the basket of medicine and left.
The place for collecting herbs on the mountain is not small, but for safety reasons no one went to the top of the mountain. Not to mention tigers in spring, even encountering a wild boar can be fatal, so everyone was not too far away.
The more Nan thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a loss. Fang Qingshi collected the herbs and turned them into spices. He didn't know what the spices were, but they sounded like valuable things. Isn't this just calling a fool?
**
The two sisters arrived at the door of their house.
Xie Yuru and Shi Xiuying are allocating manpower. The people who collect herbs have already gone into the mountains. There is a half-year-old child at home, people who pedal boats and use mortars. Carpenter Jiang can read and write the names of the herbs on the wooden sign.
, the herbs ground into powder are placed in a wooden box with the name written on it, so that there is no mistake.
"Oh, it's great that both sisters are back!" Xie Yuru came over with a smile: "What's wrong? Is there not enough?"
"It's enough." Fang Qinghe said with a smile, "I'm homesick, so I'll stay at home for two days."
Xie Yuru went about her business with a smile.
Fang Qingshi walked up to Carpenter Jiang and said, "Uncle, Hua Erniang in our village keeps bees. Does the house have a lot of honey?"
Carpenter Jiang nodded: "More, it's spring, there will be more to come."
"Okay, I'll go to Hua Erniang's house." Fang Qingshi went out to the village.
The village on the mountain is not big, with about a hundred households. Hua Erniang has been a beekeeper for generations, so she lives near the foot of the mountain.
There are two stone houses, and there are rows of beehives on the wasteland. Hua Erniang is sitting in front of the house, holding a long pipe in her mouth, squinting her eyes and basking in the sun.
"Second Grandma." Fang Qingshi greeted with a smile.
Hua Erniang is almost sixty years old. Everyone in the village calls her by her name, no matter how big or small. When she suddenly hears someone calling her Second Grandma, her eyes and brows are filled with smiles. She knocks her pipe pot twice on the sole of her shoe and lifts it up.
He called Fang Qingshi with his hand: "Girl Qingshi, come in, come in."
When Fang Qingshi arrived, Hua Erniang had already put the small bench.
Sitting on the small bench, Fang Qingshi said: "Second Grandma, I never go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."
"Say." Hua Erniang looked at Fang Qingshi with a smile: "You girl have really changed since you were 18 years old. Look at your little appearance. She is getting prettier and prettier."
Fang Qingshi smiled sheepishly: "Second Grandma, I want to collect honey."
"What are you going to use it for? There is a lot of honey here, Second Grandma. Spring came early this year, and the flowers are blooming luxuriantly. It will definitely be a good year." Second Grandma asked, "I don't need much, Second Grandma will give it to you."
Fang Qingshi quickly waved her hand: "I can't give it away. I will accept all your honey, and I won't negotiate the price. I will pay whatever price you sell it to others."
Hua Erniang frowned and looked at Fang Qingshi from side to side: "Using so much honey?"
"Yes." Fang Qingshi said, "You are an expert. I can rest assured when I get honey from you."
Hua Erniang thought for a while: "I'll give you two cans first and use them later. If you think they're useful, I'll come back again. I'm not worried about the price."
Without giving Fang Qingshi a chance to refuse, he got up and went into the house. After a while, he came out with two cans of honey. He turned around and picked off the basket on the wall. He went into the house and put a basket of hives, covered it with a piece of flower cloth, took it out and handed it to
Fang Qingshi: "This is a hive. How do you use it? Go back and ask your elder brother. Is it good for the girl's family?"
Fang Qingshi was at a loss as she held two jars of honey and a basket of hives.
"Go back, it will be enough for a while." Hua Erniang thought that this child wants honey to make medicine. How much can be used to make honey and medicine? If others want to use it, she will not give it, but these children of the Fang family are good.
I'm happy to give it to you and don't feel bad at all.
Fang Qingshi wanted to refuse, but Hua Erniang filled her pipe and started smoking, ignoring her.
When Fang Qingshi went to the village, Hua Erniang glanced at Fang Qingshi's back. The old man squinted his eyes and said lightly: "That's weird, is it because my eyes are getting old?"
After returning home, Fang Qingshi took her sister to the fragrance room.
It was said to be the fragrance room, but it was actually the room where Ji Ranchen lived. The two of them were busy building a small stove for boiling medicine in the room.
"Sister, I will teach you how to refine honey." Fang Qingshi explained the key points of refining honey and the fragrant pills needed to refine honey.
Fang Qinghe listened more and more seriously and didn't think about it at all. She was obviously the one who learned how to make perfume, but it turned out that her sister knew a lot more than she did.
From refining honey to combining incense, the two sisters were busy from morning to night. When Zhou Dalang came back, he brought back a cart of bottles and cans, and Duan Chengde came with him.
When Fang Qingshi saw Duan Chengde, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Has anyone boarded the boat?"
"It just so happened that the official ship of Jinghe Prefecture was about to go to Beijing. With the face of the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, I took it with me," Duan Chengde said.
Qingshi felt relieved at this moment. Li Jinghe had no courage to run away midway. Moreover, following the official ship to Beijing, with Li Jinghe's personality, he would definitely flatter his flatterers along the way and get the information and connections he needed.
Duan Chengde saw that Fang Qingshi didn't speak for a long time and cleared his throat: "My boss, I want to go to Luwu County to do something. If everything goes well, I will come back tomorrow. If not, Brother Zhou is a down-to-earth man and he is in charge of the escort agency.
That’s okay too.”
"What?" Fang Qingshi looked up at Duan Chengde and subconsciously raised his forehead. He was only thinking about his own affairs, but he forgot that Duan Chengde still had a love crisis to go through!
According to the time of the previous life, it is not at this time.
Duan Chengde's face immediately turned red, but he remained silent.
Fang Qingshi cleared her throat: "You wait before you go. I'll be busy here for two days. I'm going to meet Mrs. Zheng in two days. Can we go together?"
Duan Chengde originally wanted to leave immediately, but his boss said so, so he could only nod and agree.
In the yard, Shi Xiuying nudged Xie Yuru with her elbow and whispered, "What do you think?"
Xie Yuru glanced at Duan Chengde and Fang Qingshi, and pulled Shi Xiuying into the house: "Don't talk nonsense, our Ashi is observing filial piety now."
