Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Uncle, aunt, you are having dinner." Lin Mei walked in from outside.

Liu Xiao'e saw Lin Mei coming in and asked with a smile: "Mei Zi is here, have you eaten yet?"

"Aunt, I've already eaten. I came here to talk to Lin Shu." Lin Mei chuckled.

As an elder, Lin Dashan put down his wine glass and invited him, "After you finish eating, sit down and eat some fish. This is what Gu Jiu and your third brother caught this afternoon."

Lin Mei looked at the several large bowls of fish on the table, as well as the remaining fish bones on the table, smelled the spicy smell in the air, and couldn't help swallowing, "No need."

Sister-in-law He Caiyun stood up and brought a set of bowls and chopsticks to her, "Come and eat something."

After a round of politeness, Lin Mei sat next to Lin Shu, holding a half bowl of fish meat. "Lin Shu, you kicked Brother Chun Lei, didn't you just fall for that city guy?"

After saying that, he glanced at Gu Jiu who was drinking with a man from the Lin family.

Lin Shu picked out a fish bone and looked up at Lin Mei: "Isn't it what you wanted to see me kick Li Chunlei? What? Now that you see that I have found someone better, you feel unbalanced again?"

Lin Mei rolled her eyes and said, "Why should I feel unbalanced? Since you don't admit that you kicked Chun Lei because of him, then tell me when you met him?"

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her, annoyed that this little girl always liked to stare at her, "When did I meet him, and how did we meet? Why should I tell you? Is it just to satisfy your gossip desire?"

Besides, this little girl loves to stab people in the back, so she was stupid enough to tell her everything.

Lin Mei was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick, but this was her uncle's house, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. She glanced at the man drinking at the main table and lowered her voice and said, "We are cousins ​​after all. Shouldn't I care about you?"

"Besides, why would he, a city guy, date a country girl like you? Have you ever thought about what's wrong with this? Maybe he's just playing around with you."

After all, Lin Shu had a face that could bring disaster to the country and the people. Maybe the man just fell in love with her face and was just playing with her for fun.

Lin Shu laughed out of anger, gritting his teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern, but it's a pity that I don't need it. You should pay more attention to your brother Chunlei. Don't complain about sour grapes when you can't eat them here. You want others in the city to play with you, but they don't even look down on your plain face."

"You..." Lin Mei felt like cursing because of the ridicule.

"You don't want to eat this fish!" Lin Shu pointed at the bowl in her hand.

Lin Mei looked down at the fish in the bowl and swallowed back all the curses she wanted to say.

You can’t scold her, you can’t scold her. If you scold her, she won’t be able to eat this half bowl of fish tonight.

Although I couldn't curse him out loud, I cursed him secretly, "Don't be so arrogant just because you have a good-looking face. Be careful if you get too arrogant, God will not be able to bear it, and you will cry one day!"

Lin Shu looked at her with a half-smile, "Do you believe me? I'll tell my mother and sister-in-law what you said."

Lin Mei: “…” I cursed in my heart that you would be abandoned by the man soon.

After Lin Shu finished his meal, he collected Lin Mei's bowl and chopsticks, which made Lin Mei, who still wanted to eat half a bowl of fish, very upset.

You are so stingy. You didn't buy this fish with money. Will you go bankrupt if you eat more?

The women finished their meal and ignored the men who were still drinking.

Liu Xiao'e pulled Lin Mei aside and asked, "I heard from your mother that you went to your grandmother's house these days?"

Lin Mei nodded: "Yes, I will go to give the festival gifts to grandma and her family on behalf of my parents."

"Meizi, you are a few months older than Lin Shu. She has already found a partner, and you should find one too since you are already old enough." He Caiyun said.

Lin Mei almost vomited blood. She wanted to spit at her. What did she mean by "she is not young anymore"? No matter how old she was, she was still younger than this yellow-faced woman.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Yes, you are a few months older than me, so you can't fall behind and act like an old maid at home."

Lin Mei glared at her secretly and really wanted to go forward and scratch her face to make her show off.

Lin Shu has lived for decades and actually doesn't want to bother with a little girl like her, but this little girl is too mean and likes to come to him from time to time to seek a sense of existence. If he doesn't fight back against her, she really doesn't know her own limitations.

Moreover, her mouth caused her a lot of trouble in her previous life.

The two sisters-in-law of the Lin family watched Lin Mei leave angrily and glared at Lin Shu: "Look at your mouth, you are so unreasonable. If you make Mei Zi angry and leave, what if she tells Second Aunt what happened here? Be careful that she will come to pick a fight with you."

"Come on, whoever teases first is the cheap one. Who told her to tease me first?" Lin Shu didn't care.

She doesn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble, but if someone is reckless and takes the initiative to provoke her, don't blame her for being ruthless.

The next day was May 4th.

In order to prevent Gu Jiu from being frightened by the evil wind again, Lin Shu took Gu Jiu to a forest farther away from the river.

The Dragon Boat Festival is the time to harvest medicinal herbs such as mugwort, calamus, and houttuynia cordata.

Lin Shu specifically found a ravine with a water source.

There are not only a lot of Acorus calamus and Houttuynia cordata growing here, but most importantly, there are a lot of Cattails.

Cattail is a plant that grows in water and is commonly found in ponds and streams. Because its flower petals are in the shape of candles, some places in rural areas call it water candle.

The famous Puhuang in traditional Chinese medicine is its pollen, which is very precious. The cattail sticks can be used for lighting, and the mature water candles can be picked and used as pillow cores.

[Host, found cattail, among which cattail pollen has the effects of stopping bleeding, removing blood stasis and relieving stranguria, and is worth 4 yuan per catty. ]

"Shushu, here are the calamus you picked last time."

In the cracks of the rocks beside the stream, Gu Jiu was surprised to find a lot of Acorus calamus.

"When you dig them out, be careful not to encounter centipedes or snakes." Lin Shu reminded him.

When collecting herbs in the mountains, safety comes first. For herbs like this one that grow in a dark and humid environment, you must alert the enemy before collecting them.

Some people are not careful when going up the mountain, and they may encounter small snakes lurking under the mushroom caps when picking mushrooms.

If you get bitten by a poisonous snake, you really have to rely on your luck. If you are lucky enough, you can survive, but if you are not, you will have to go to see the King of Hell.

Therefore, people who go hiking usually travel with team members. It is very dangerous for Lin Shu to walk alone in the mountains.

In case of an emergency, there is no one to help.

Lin Shu only relied on the system, otherwise she would not dare to go into the mountains alone.

"Shushu, look at that, a snake slough."

Gu Jiu's exclamation attracted Lin Shu to walk over.

Snake skin, also called dragon's clothes, snake talisman, etc., is the skin shed by a snake.

It has the effects of dispelling wind, calming the nerves, removing cataracts, detoxifying and relieving itching.

Gu Jiu walked to the snake skin and reached out to pick it up.

"Wait a minute." Lin Shu stopped him and explained, "You can't touch snake sloughs with your hands. Wild snake sloughs may contain toxins, and touching them may cause infection."

After saying that, Lin Shu picked it up with his gloved hands, [System, what kind of snake's slough is this? ]

[Reply to the host, this is the slough of a black-necked snake, worth 4.5 yuan per pound.]

Gu Jiu withdrew his hand and looked at Lin Shu's gloves with envy, "Next time I will also prepare a pair of gloves."

Gloves are very practical when collecting herbs in the mountains.

"Do you have any industrial coupons? If not, I have a few here." Lin Shu said.

Gu Jiu watched Lin Shu slowly roll up the snake skin: "Keep your coupon first, I have a coupon. Judging from the width of the snake skin, this snake must be quite large, weighing at least 15 pounds."
