The Little Lucky Girl

Chapter 59 Herbal Tea

Guo Ren didn't dare to come and play with them for a long time, until he felt that Ming Youyou had forgotten about that incident, then he came over somewhat embarrassedly.

When the two met, they both burst into laughter, and then quietly went to look at their mosquito repellent plants.

Several of those weak seedlings died, and in the end only five survived, producing seeds that were much smaller than the original ones.

The research institute checked and said that these seeds have adapted to the local environment and can continue to be planted.

So Ming Youyou left the task of burying the seeds to Guo Ren, and she collected all the grass leaves.

Now that we have the main materials for the sachet, we don’t have to worry about the remaining herbs, as they are very common here.

The easiest way is to buy it in a pharmacy. They are all dried and prepared and can be used directly. There is nothing wrong with it except that it is expensive.

But Ming Youyou is no longer the same person she was half a year ago. How could she be willing to spend this money, as she has been trained to be very stingy by Captain Jin and life?

Since there are some in the mountains, why not just go and pick them?

On a sunny morning, Ming Youyou and her three followers went up the mountain in a heroic manner.

They also climbed many mountains on the way to exile, but in order to hurry on their way, they could only pass through them in a hurry. They had no impression of the scenery in the mountains. Instead, they remembered which plant was the most hateful and how many cuts they had made.

It’s not like it is now, the backpacks behind several people are filled to the brim, and the prepared things are especially sufficient.

After climbing to the top of a small hill and seeing a large area of ​​shade, they immediately found a clean place to sit down, took out their food and started eating and drinking.

This was their first time to go out for an outing, and it was so pleasant that if it weren't for the hoe and machete in the backpack to remind them, they would have almost forgotten what they were doing.

After eating and drinking, Ming Youyou felt a little dazed by the warm breeze, so she patted her face with her hands and decided to go to the mountainside to enjoy the scenery.

As she looked at it, she exclaimed, called the three of them over and said, "Look at that tree at the foot of the mountain. Why does it look so familiar to me?"

Zheng Huan squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's the tree where we would rest every time we went to the county town."

Lu Tai was surprised and said, "It turns out that it is so close to the county town from here. If we go over the mountain later, it will be more than half an hour faster."

"Don't dream," Feng Xu interrupted him and motioned him to look down, "You know how difficult it is to walk, there is no road on this side of the mountain."

The mountain on this side of the official road was so steep that it was almost vertical, and the grass was very tall. If Ming Youyou walked in, she would not be able to find anyone.

A few people looked at the direction of the county town with regret, then turned around and went back to digging herbs.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. When they went out again, they felt like they were being roasted after only walking on the official road for a short while.

Feng Xu wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I don't know why. It's the same road, but why do I feel extra tired today?"

Others felt the same way. They looked up at the small hill that they could climb up but couldn't come down, and felt very melancholy.

"Stop looking and drink some water quickly." Zheng Huan took out a bamboo tube from his backpack.

The three of them took it and gulped down a few big gulps.

The sweet and slightly cool water flows down the throat into the stomach, making people feel refreshed instantly.

Lu Tai burped and said to Ming Youyou: "Fortunately you made this herbal tea. This is my only comfort now."

Daqing Mountain is truly a treasure trove. They spent a day on the mountain and not only gathered all the herbs for making sachets, but also found all the herbs for making herbal tea.

Feng Xu also nodded frantically, "My smoking throat suddenly felt better. I'm finally alive."

Their expressions were so exaggerated that a child who was also resting under the tree ran over, staring at them eagerly and swallowing his saliva.

The four of them couldn't drink any more, so they gathered together and squeezed out a bamboo tube to give to the child.

The child happily took it, and after taking a sip, his eyes lit up. He turned around and ran back to hand the bamboo tube to an old man, "Grandpa, please try it. It's sweet and delicious."

The old man was tidying up the backpack just now, but he didn't realize that his little grandson had gone to ask for food before he noticed.

He felt very embarrassed and thanked them quickly. He asked the child to bring him some sweet potatoes before he picked up the bamboo tube and took a sip.

I was a little surprised after drinking it. I thought it was just sweet water with sugar, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of medicinal herbs in it. I just felt my mouth watering and the heat in my heart was relieved a lot.

The old man couldn't help but be curious. He looked at the teenagers and said to Zheng Huan, who seemed to be the oldest, "Excuse me, little brother, where did you buy this water?"

Zheng Huan smiled and looked at Ming Youyou, "My sister made it for fun."

The old man was surprised, "Young lady, do you know anything about medicine?"

Ming Youyou nodded proudly. Thinking that everyone was a little cautious about using medicine, she said, "This herbal tea is a prescription prescribed by the doctors. It is only good for people. You can drink it without worry."

Feng Xu also supported his people and said, "Her grandfather is a doctor, very good. The famous rouge shop in the county town is owned by her family."

The old man was not very familiar with the rouge shop, but he felt relieved after hearing what they said so sincerely.

He couldn't help but sighed: "Young lady, you are amazing. I feel much better after drinking this water. If you bring a bucket of water to people on the road in the hot summer, I wonder how many people will be relieved from the heat."

"It would be nice if there was a place to sell this herbal tea," he said with some regret, unable to help but speak out his thoughts.

"My son is a rickshaw driver in the county town, and he is always on the road. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we are all worried that he might get a heat stroke. We usually make some medicine for him to take with him, but he thinks it is too bitter and doesn't want to drink it..."

Ming Youyou became thoughtful.

She stared at the pedestrians and carriages passing by on the road and said to the three people, "How about we set up a tea stall on this road and sell this herbal tea?"

Feng Xu immediately supported it: "Okay, okay, it can make money and also help others, why not do it."

Zheng Huan said, "Tea stalls need to pay taxes, so it may not be cost-effective to only sell herbal tea."

They encountered many roadside stalls along the way. In addition to selling tea, the vendors also provided simple meals. Some even helped feed the horses and sold fodder.

Therefore, it is estimated that they cannot do it alone, but if they hire others to do it, the cost will be high and they will not make any money at all.

Ming Youyou scratched his head and said, "Then I'll ask my second grandfather to see if he's willing to do it."

When Village Chief Guo heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and agreed. Of course he was willing to do it. He was willing to do anything that could make money.
