The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy
Chapter 32: A Turnaround
"This medicinal field was planted by my third brother himself. His right hand was injured and he could hardly exert any strength. He relied on his left hand alone to plant the licorice seedlings one by one, covering two acres. He also took great care of it on a daily basis, and put all his energy into this medicinal field." Hearing the old doctor praising his younger brother, Lin Dashan felt proud.
At this time he was shameless and didn't want to say polite words, saying things like "I don't deserve it" and "You're too much of a compliment".
My third brother is good at planting and he plants with care.
Lin Jiang walked forward and heard what his elder brother said, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
"Old doctor, the Hundred-Angle Grass can be harvested once a month. If you still need it by then, I will sell it to you first." He walked to his eldest brother, stood side by side with his brother, and smiled at the old man.
Fang Zheng's eyes widened immediately, "Yes! Why not? This time I wanted to buy all the herbs from two acres of land, but you only sold one acre. Come on, let me make a deal with you. I want at least 100 kilograms of Hundred Herbs every month. That's the minimum! You have to keep some for me every month. How about that?"
How could the Lin brothers not respond?
The old doctor was satisfied.
The young men of the Lin family were unaware that they had a treasure in their hands. They estimated that it would not take long before the Hundred Xiang Grass was used in the right way and it would become famous in the medicinal materials market.
The Lin family only has two acres of land to produce, and by then, there is no telling how many medicinal material merchants and large and small pharmacies will be scrambling to get it.
He had taken advantage of the situation and would not give it up.
No one knows how many other uses Baixiangcao has, but he has a hunch that it is definitely more than what is currently available.
Everything is settled.
The old doctor immediately decided to pick the herbs from one acre of land today.
Fortunately, the Jin family has a carriage with them, so they can bring the herbs back to the pharmacy along the way.
As early as when the carriage stopped at the gate of Lin's house, many villagers gathered outside the yard, all of them wanted to find out some gossip.
When he learned that the Lin family was going to harvest the medicinal herbs today, he immediately volunteered to help.
Although I am not the one making money from selling medicinal herbs, I still feel excited to join in the fun.
The worst one is Mrs. Li.
The woman, who is nearly fifty years old, carries a backpack on her back and works with nimble hands and feet, and even more nimble words.
"All the men who are helping with the work, be careful. Only pinch the Hundred-Angle Grass seedlings that are above the ground. Don't pull them out by the roots. Leaving the roots will allow them to continue growing!"
"Have you ever pinched flat vegetables? It's just like pinching flat vegetables!"
"Don't damage the leaves. This thing may look small, but it's really precious! Thirty-five cents a pound!"
Aunt Zhang and sister-in-law Wang also came to help, but the constant noise in their ears made them roll their eyes.
"Okay, okay, you're the only one who cares about it. People who don't know would think that this medicinal field is planted by your family. You act like everyone is good at working in the fields. You're so talkative!" Mrs. Wang got angry and started to scold. This is how the villagers get along with each other. If they are unhappy, they will quarrel and stay silent for a few days, and then they can get together to gossip again after a while.
Mrs. Li was not annoyed by the retort, she looked at the two people as if they were idiots, "Tsk, you guys are out of your mind! There's a saying, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor! If we help the Lin family today, maybe we can benefit from it someday!"
"Come on, why should I take advantage of this? I never expected this. Brother and sister-in-law of the Lin family are kind-hearted people, and their children are sensible. When our family was doing well in the past, they helped people in the same village a lot. I came here for this." Aunt Zhang smiled and was extremely careful when pinching the Hundred Xiang Grass, trying her best not to damage the roots of the grass.
"That's not the case. Being blessed doesn't just mean getting good fortune. Let's just talk about the Lin family's Baixiang tea. Can we have a few sips? I heard the old doctor say it himself, Baixiang tea can relieve fatigue and refresh the mind! And it can also clear away poison. Anyway, it's great to drink it!" Mrs. Li is not greedy. She is satisfied if she can have a few sips of tea from time to time.
After she finished speaking, she smacked her lips again and continued, "Speaking of which, our Yuxi Village is a century-old village at the foot of Shennv Mountain, but compared to the surrounding areas, it is the poorest village, as if it has been tainted by some bad luck. No family has ever made a decent living, whether it is working in the fields or trying every possible way to get out. The Lin family used to be the most prosperous family in the village, but they only had ten acres of good land and could make a few dozen taels of silver at most. But what happened later? When something happened, both the old and the young were not well off, and the family assets were almost emptied out. How difficult were the past few years? Only now can we finally see some light, which is really a happy event for our village. Maybe from now on, the bad luck of our village will slowly dissipate, and every household in our village will have good luck in the future! Hey, don't choke me, you are looking forward to it anyway, right?"
Some of the women who were nearby heard Mrs. Li's last few mutterings and were so amused that they burst into laughter.
"Aunt Li is right. The Lin family has become prominent. We should also hope for something good for ourselves. Who doesn't want to live a good life?"
"Yes, yes, at least there is hope. We are not greedy!"
“Hahaha, get to work!”
That morning, Yuxi Village was filled with joy.
One acre of land is not a lot, and with many people coming to help, it only took half an hour to pick the herbs.
Baskets of fragrant lilies were neatly stacked in small frames and loaded onto the carriage.
Farmers seldom see horse-drawn carriages, and there are only a few in the entire Wutong Town. Most of them are used by families with some power. Therefore, when moving things, they are more careful than picking herbs, for fear of damaging a corner of the carriage and not being able to afford the compensation.
The old doctor was very excited after receiving the herbs. He couldn't wait to go back to the clinic. He had already prepared several prescriptions in his mind that needed to be verified. After paying the money, he did not stay any longer and left with Qian Qianlai.
The Lin family watched the carriage go away before returning to their yard. When they turned around, they were met with a pair of glowing eyes.
The Lin family: "..." They inexplicably felt that the villagers' eyes were more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
Li Fugui walked forward with a smile, put his arm on Lin Jiang's shoulder and said to him, "Jiang'er, you've made a fortune! Can you make some meat dishes today?"
Mrs. Li followed with a slap on the back of her son's head, and said bluntly, "What kind of meat and vegetables are you cooking? Do I have to give you two more ounces of wine? You'll go to heaven if you get drunk?"
Li Fugui ran away with his head in his hands, "Jiang'er, come back, let's talk later! Remember to save some Baixiang Tea for me! I'll go home and get a pot to put it in!"
Mrs. Li chased after her son.
Seeing this, the remaining villagers laughed and went out as well.
In fact, they all wanted to stay and listen to some gossip, but at this time, the Lin family would probably prefer to share their joy in peace with their family.
The Lin family did not ask to keep anyone. After the villagers dispersed, they gathered in the main room, and the whole family looked at the silver they had just received again and again.
Four taels and two cents.
It feels heavy in the hand.
The herb, picked from one acre of medicinal land, weighed 120 jin and was sold for four taels and two cents of silver.
In the past, a whole family would have to work hard for half a year to earn a lot of money, but now one acre of land can earn only one dollar a month.
The old doctor brought some silver with him when he came and paid on the spot.
Relying on the medicinal fields and the herb, the Lin family turned their fortunes around overnight.
