Chapter 18 Ways to Make Money

Old Xiucai Liu was amused, put down the brush in his hand, touched her head and said, "Xiaojiaojiao, these common herbal seedlings can't be sold at a good price by ordinary people, and there are very few people who know medicinal materials, so they are of better quality." A catty of yours can only sell for 20 Wen."

There are also people who dig herbs in the village and sell them for money, but there are many similarities between plants and plants. People often confuse them. Over time, drug dealers keep the price very low, and they don’t accept those mixed with weeds. Gradually, no one digs them. up.

Jiaojiao held up her fleshy little hand and counted with her fingers. One thousand Wen for human beings is equal to one tael of silver. Hundreds of baskets.

She and her little brother have only dug half of the basket, how long will it take to dig.

Jiaojiao wrinkled her small face, pulled the corner of Grandpa Liu's clothes and asked again: "Master, what medicinal materials are more expensive?"

"Ginseng, ambergris, cordyceps, ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus are all relatively rare and valuable medicinal materials. Jiaojiao asked what are these made of?" Old Xiucai Liu showed curiosity, and a little baby boy asked what they were made of.

Jiaojiao frowned and smiled, and replied, "Jiaojiao wants to find them to sell for money."

Old Xiucai Liu was choked by this childlike words, with a bit of heartache on her benevolent face, she sighed and patted her head to coax her: "Young girl, these precious medicinal materials are worth thousands of gold, and the growing terrain is extremely dangerous. You may not be able to find the whole mountain, so Jiaojiao just let it go, making money is an adult's business, so don't worry about it."

Hearing that the valuable daughter Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, she looked at Grandpa Liu a little sad, she nodded obediently and said in a waxy voice: "Okay."

Remembered these names in her heart long ago. As a ginseng essence, she knew where ginseng likes to hide, but she didn't want to dig ginseng and sell it for money.

Well, snow lotus is more difficult to find, and there are more trees on the top of the mountain in Xiaoshu Village. Ganoderma lucidum should like this environment, so let's look for Ganoderma lucidum first!

At this time,

Liu Zhihua came over with a smile and picked up her daughter, and first said with a smile to Mr. Liu, "Hello, old sir."

Then she softly coaxed her daughter: "Jiaojiao, let's not bother Uncle Liu's writing anymore. Mother will take you to the yard to find your elder brother and Wei Qing."

Jiaojiao nodded obediently, "Okay." Then she waved her hand with Old Xiucai Liu and said softly, "Goodbye, sir."

Old scholar Liu had a kind face, and he was very rare for the white and glutinous little Baojiao. He smiled and waved his hands to coax him: "Jiaojiao, go and play. I'm tired of playing. Let your aunt make sugared eggs for you to drink."

"Thank you, old man. When she came here, she just drank sugar eggs, and she is full now." Liu Zhihua laughed quickly, there is no reason to beg for food and drink as a guest.

Old Xiucai Liu shook his head and smiled, but didn't say anything more.

Liu Zhihua walked out with her daughter in her arms.

～

The yard of the Liu family is very large, surrounded by high walls and looks very safe.

On the stone table in the yard, Qiu Sheng was playing chess pieces with Wei Qing. The two were very quiet without speaking. Liu Zhihua was a little curious, so she walked lightly and watched behind them.

Jiaojiao didn't make a sound either, Baba looked at the chess pieces in their hands, wondering what it was.

Suddenly, Wei Qing smiled and dropped the ball, and directly ate Qiu Sheng's two sons. His face said with emotion: "Qiu Sheng is really talented and intelligent. He has only played with me twice and he is so good. If I don't practice again, I will not be able to beat you next time."

Qiu Sheng shook his head modestly and smiled, "Wei Qing always praises me, you won today, I'm ashamed to say you're great."

Suddenly, Qiusheng noticed his mother and younger sister, and stood up and called out, "Mother."

Liu Weiqing turned around and saw someone standing behind him hurriedly got up to say hello: "Auntie."

"Hey, let's play, my aunt just hugs Jiaojiao to see." Liu Zhihua explained with a smile.

"Brother, Brother Wei Qing, what are you playing with?" Jiaojiao asked with her mouth, but her **** eyes were staring at the chess pieces on the stone table.

"Sister Baojiao, I'm playing chess with your elder brother. The chess pieces are divided into black pieces and white pieces. Players play according to their own style. Playing more can develop brain power and become smarter." Liu Weiqing raised his finger and introduced.

Jiaojiao blinked her eyes and listened, it turned out that this was called a chess piece.

"Mother, it's getting late, let's go home." Qiu Sheng said.

Father and Erya Xiaoli are both helping out in the fields, and they have to go back early to make lunch.

Liu Zhihua looked at the sun, "Forget it, go back earlier to wash and wash Jiaojiao's hair, and cook for your father and the others by the way."

…

Farewell to the Liu family, Aunt Liu Jiaojiao brought a lot of snacks, and the family of three rushed home.

On the way home, Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at the nearby fields, but she didn't find the precious medicinal materials that Grandpa Liu mentioned.

Staring carefully and searching all the way, Jiaojiao felt drowsy when she returned to the door, her round and dark eyes were wet, she hugged her mother's neck and dozed off.

Liu Zhihua realized it now, and said dumbfoundingly: "Hey, why is my baby so sleepy? Let's go, mother will take you back to sleep."

…

When Jiaojiao woke up, it was already noon, and her father and younger brothers and sisters all came back.

Everyone had lunch, Liu Zhihua saw her daughter wake up, and called Erya to look at her sister, she hurried to the kitchen to cook eggs.

"Baby, come and hug you."

Erya tried her best to hug the little girl, stared greedily at her fair and soft face, quickly leaned up to kiss her, and said with a smile: "My baby is so sweet~"

Jiaojiao called out: "Sister~"

"Hey! My sister is here, is my baby going to sit in the **** bucket?"

As she said that, Erya was about to untie her sister's trousers, Jiaojiao took her hand and said, "Sister~ No, today I heard from Grandpa Liu that herbs can be sold for money. , let's dig herbs together."

Erya was taken aback for a moment, staring at her sister with puzzled round eyes: "Dig herbs?"

Jiaojiao blinked her **** eyes, her eyes were innocent and clear: "Well, Jiaojiao knows herbs, and she digs them up and sells them for money."

Erya heard about this from her mother, and the younger sister can remember the name of Dr. Li's medicine and the appearance of the herbal medicine.

Erya hugged the little girl in her arms, her dark face was full of seriousness and she asked: "Baby, tell sister, do you really know all those herbs?"

Jiaojiao blinked and nodded, "Yes, I know everything."

Er Yaxin's younger sister will not lie, she tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

There are so many flowers and plants on the roadside and on the mountain, there must be a lot of herbs mixed in, if the little girl really knows all of them, wouldn't it be that there are copper coins everywhere for them to pick up.

Twenty Wen is much better than catching fish and selling it for a few copper coins. If you go up to dig two catties every day, you will have forty Wen a day, and one tael of silver in a month!

Wouldn't it be possible to build tile-roofed houses and build tall and large walls in the house soon, so who would dare to look down on their house?

The more Erya thought about it, the more excited she became, and she hugged the little girl happily and kissed her hard, boasting: "Guaibao is really the lucky star of our family. I will eat eggs later, and my sister will carry you to dig herbs. When the time comes, Guaibao will only be responsible Tell my sister where it is, and then my sister will dig a lot of herbs and earn silver taels to buy new clothes for Guaibao."
