Chapter 225 Planting Medicinal Herbs
The other women present focused on the medicinal herbs!
They still need to be processed. What kind of medicinal herbs are they?
The three members of the Ding family came to help, so they must be the kind that makes money.
But it’s not easy to ask about the business of making money. If you ask someone and they don’t answer, wouldn’t it be embarrassing? And it also makes you look very tactless.
But I didn’t expect Shuiqing to take the initiative to say: "Why didn’t the Bai family’s potatoes grow on my family’s land? It’s because we and the Ding family are collecting seeds of this kind of medicinal herbs and are going to try to grow them ourselves.
If it fails, it will be a loss for my family. If it succeeds, you can come to get the seeds and plant them back next year. We will buy the harvested medicinal herbs at the price of the medicine shop. After all, medicinal herbs are more valuable than food. In the future, our village may become richer and richer by selling medicinal herbs!"
As soon as Shuiqing finished speaking, the women were pleasantly surprised.
I didn’t expect that Shuiqing’s family first planted potatoes to solve their food and clothing problems, and then turned around to try to grow medicinal herbs for them!
If this fails, there will be no food to eat with so many acres of land, right?
Aunt Li was one of the few women in the village who could be the head of the family. She immediately decided, "Shuiqing, if you fail, I will send you potatoes! I guarantee you won't go hungry."
Aunt Zhang did the same: "Don't worry, you know my family has a lot of potatoes this year. Aunt Zhang will send you potatoes regardless of whether you succeed or fail!
If you fail, the potatoes will fill your stomach. If you succeed, the potatoes will be exchanged for medicinal seeds. You can't let you suffer too much."
For the second time in her life, she felt that being a widow was good. Otherwise, if the head of the family was still alive, how could she make a decision so generously!
With money, leisure, and the right to speak, this life is more comfortable than she dared to think of in the past.
She looked at Shuiqing. The good life now was given by her. She must hold Shuiqing's thigh tightly and follow her firmly!
Other women could not be the head of the family. They just remembered it silently in their hearts and prepared to go home to ask the head of the family in a while. At the same time, they cast envious eyes on Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang.
How can the person who can make the final decision be so cool? The more you look at him, the better he looks!
A group of people didn't even ask what the name of the medicinal material was or what the price was for the medicine shop to buy it. Everyone agreed happily.
They thought simply: since Shuiqing said it was more cost-effective than growing crops, it must be more cost-effective.
Ding Jiajia heard Shuiqing say it over there, and just whispered to a group of young sisters of similar age: "There will be more medicinal materials in the future, and my parents and I will be too busy. Sister Shuiqing said that we still need your help.
Sister Shuiqing has already thought about it. Those who are invited to help will be paid, but it won't be done for the time being. We have to wait until the medicinal materials are mature and harvested. You wait a little longer."
Hearing that Shuiqing would invite people later and there would be wages, Zhang Xiaocao, Li Tiantian and others were surprised and happy.
Hurry up and said: "We are not in a hurry."
"It's normal to wait, we know."
"Great! I hope Sister Shuiqing can grow medicinal materials successfully!"
The more medicinal materials are planted, the more they can harvest. If they need to prepare more, they can help and earn wages!
"I have never earned money since I was a child. I really want to earn money. It must be a good feeling." Zhang Xiaocao said expectantly.
Xu Ting, Fan Xiang and others nodded vigorously.
They also want to earn money!
Li Tiantian is favored at home, and her mother is the head of the family. She will give her money on weekdays. She has saved 23 coins.
But when she thought that her two brothers could earn more than 800 coins each time they went out, she realized that her 23 coins were so little.
It's not possible to rely on mother to secretly give it to you. You still have to earn it yourself!
At least you can use it openly, and you don't have to struggle and tangle to buy the hair ornaments you want.
"Jiajia, if Sister Shuiqing needs someone in the future, you must come and tell me, okay? I have a red hairband for you."
"Tell me too, I'll make a pair of straw sandals for you!"
"I'll give you a small bamboo fish basket."
......
Shuiqing, Qin Yilin, Hu's mother and the ladies chatted enthusiastically, Ding Jiajia and the little girls were also chatting quietly, and the two teams laughed from time to time.
Here, Aunt Zhang, Zhang Chunhua, Sun Jinhua, Fan Sanzhu and Sizhu could not get in the conversation, and no one helped them integrate, so the five of them sat more and more awkwardly.
Seeing that Qin Yilin was deliberately excluding them, Zhang Chunhua whispered to her mother: "Mom, let's go back first, and come back another day when Aunt Ding is not here."
Today, the Ding family is here, and she keeps singing the opposite tune, which may affect her impression in Hu's mother's heart.
Aunt Zhang didn't want to sit down either. The group of women clearly came to talk to Hu Shuiqing about something, but they didn't say anything when they were here, so they had to wait until they left before they said it.
But they had to leave.
"Okay, let's go back first. Besides, won't the man be back in two days? We don't have to start with his mother."
Zhang Chunhua understood instantly, her face immediately turned red, turned her head and shouted embarrassedly: "Mom, what are you talking about"
Fan Sanzhu and Fan Sizhu didn't want to go back yet, they still wanted to see Ding Jiajia more.
There are many people at Second Aunt's place, and there is nothing to do if you go back, it's better to listen to their chat at Second Aunt's place.
Sun Jinhua was so angry that she cursed: "Don't you see that they don't like us! They don't even talk to us."
Fan Sanzhu and Fan Sizhu were at a loss, not knowing where his mother came up with the conclusion.
If you want to chat, just go and chat. Are you waiting for them to come over? They are not important guests.
Ling Ran and Bai Ziqian over there didn't say a word the whole time, and no one asked them to chat. Isn't it good to sit there?
They were still outsiders, so they didn't feel that they were disliked.
It was just that his mother thought too much, this one looked down on her and that one disliked her!
The two followed the three people with a lot of anger, and left unwillingly.
After the five people walked away and Zhou Yu came back from closing the courtyard door, Aunt Li stopped chatting and started talking about the main purpose of this visit: "We came here to talk about something, about raising rabbits."
Both Zhang Tuzi and Sun Jinhua didn't raise rabbits, and they were afraid that they would be jealous and ruin it, so they waited until they left before talking.
The Ding family didn't raise rabbits either, but the Ding family had skills to earn money, so they didn't care about the income from raising rabbits, and only thought that they were working hard to raise rabbits.
The scene became quiet, and Shui Qing listened patiently.
"Next month, the rabbits in our village will be ready for sale. Our rabbits are fat and have more meat, which is better than those outside. The old village chief wants us to set a unified price and not to undercut each other.
Also, each household cannot let the live rabbits leave our village, otherwise they will be bred elsewhere and ready for sale in a few months. If others undercut the price, we will have to follow suit, and the price will probably drop to the ground in the future."
Auntie Li said, and Shuiqing nodded in agreement.
She was planning to grow medicinal herbs here, and the old village chief and others had already thought about selling rabbits.
