It is already late spring and it has been raining since the beginning of this year. This is good for farmers, but not so good for Wen Qingcheng.

Wen Qingcheng saw that the sky was gloomy since this morning. She took out the weather bottle in the space, which also showed that it was going to rain. However, Wang Yunxi led her group and insisted on taking out all the astragalus in the warehouse to dry it in the sun.

More than a dozen bags had been dried yesterday, and today Wang Yunxi asked to take out all the astragalus from the warehouse. It would have been fine if the sun was shining like yesterday, but today the sky was overcast, and Wen Qingcheng didn't know why she was doing these useless things.

Seeing that the assistant pharmacists around her were silent, even if she had some ideas, it would not be easy for her to say them out loud at this moment, so she had to do as she was told.

A warehouse of astragalus was spread out to dry, covering two whole yards. Wang Yunxi came out waving a round fan, and saw Wen Qingcheng had just spread out the astragalus and was about to go back to the study, so she stopped her immediately.

"Wen Qingcheng, don't rush back yet, go pick out all the impurities in the astragalus."

Wen Qingcheng was sweating profusely after spreading the astragalus, and before she could catch her breath, she went to pick up the impurities. What could she do? She would take the junior pharmacist exam tomorrow, so she could only endure it and squat down to pick up the impurities bit by bit.

After lunch, Wen Qingcheng just took a nap on the table when she was scolded by Wang Yunxi who had just returned from her nap.

"If you want to sleep, go home and sleep. It's time to go to work. How can you finish your work if you don't cheer up?" Wang Yunxi was furious when she saw Wen Qingcheng's sleepy appearance.

"I've finished picking them up." Wen Qingcheng slowly stood up from her seat.

"What are you going to do this afternoon?" Wang Yunxi curled her lips without even looking at Wen Qingcheng, and walked straight to the armchair behind the desk and sat down.

Wen Qingcheng was in a depressed mood. It seemed like she was back to the days of working as a handyman in the herbal medicine store. Now she was just working as a handyman in a different place. Without her own main task, she could only keep finding work for herself, being ordered around by others and having to do whatever she wanted.

Why can't she be reused? Is it because she hasn't taken the junior pharmacist exam? With her knowledge and her experience working in the laboratory in her previous life, if she is given the opportunity, she will definitely be able to develop many new drugs for Wang Ji.

"Miss is asking you, what did you do in the afternoon? You have no work to do, right?" Yuchuan said in a shrill voice, bringing Wen Qingcheng back to her senses.

Wang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, waved for Wen Qingcheng to stand over, gave her a lecture, and then asked Wen Qingcheng to clean up and wipe several study rooms, including the windowsills, window screens, and floors.

Wen Qingcheng thought that since she was not valued here, she would just do whatever she wanted. She stopped talking nonsense with the master and servant, went to the small warehouse to get the tools, and started cleaning.

The room was stuffy. Wen Qingcheng kept working. Her back was already wet and sweat was running down her forehead.

Rumbling--

Outside, a dull thunder broke the tranquility of early summer, and the dark clouds in the sky pressed down, as if to suffocate the earth. Wen Qingcheng put down the rag in her hand, opened the window and looked out. A wet and cool breeze suddenly hit her, making her shiver instantly.

"Miss, it's going to rain." Wen Qingcheng closed the window and looked anxiously at Wang Yunxi who was sitting on a chair looking in the mirror.

"Ah? Is it going to rain? Then go find someone quickly to store the astragalus in the yard into the warehouse." Wang Yunxi was still looking at herself in the mirror leisurely.

Wen Qingcheng was a little annoyed. It was obviously going to rain today, but she still insisted on asking people to hang out all the astragalus. Wasn't this really annoying?

Wen Qingcheng started looking for people to go and collect the astragalus together. It seemed like Wang Yunxi's team had discussed it in advance. They were either busy or could not find anyone. Wen Qingcheng thought that if so much astragalus was soaked in water, not only would the medicinal effect be lost, but it would also become moldy. At that time, the loss would be huge. It would be a pity to let such good astragalus go bad.

After thinking about it, I quickly got up, took the dustpan and cloth bag, rushed into the yard, and began to frantically harvest the astragalus. When I had harvested half of it, big raindrops began to fall.

The raindrops hit the roof with crackling sounds. Wen Qingcheng quickened her movements. Sweat and rain mixed together and flowed down her chin. She couldn't collect all of it by herself.

Wen Qingcheng rushed into another pharmacy and saw several pharmacists and workers chatting and frying medicinal materials slowly. When they saw Wen Qingcheng running in sweating, they all looked at her.

"...It's raining outside, everyone please help collect the astragalus outside."

No one responded, as if they hadn't heard her words. One of them, Pan Yaogong, who was sorting out the prepared herbs, had a sullen face. He felt that he had more experience than Wen Qingcheng, and said coldly, "It's your team's business, why are you asking us for help?"

Another chubby female pharmacist also said: "When I went out at noon, I saw the whole yard full of astragalus. The weather was so cloudy today. I was wondering who was sick and was drying astragalus when it was going to rain."

Wen Qingcheng didn't have time to argue with them, and left a sentence: "It was the eldest lady who asked us to dry it. Just now, the eldest lady said that we should all collect the astragalus together. If the astragalus is damaged by the rain, everyone will pay for it together!"

Wen Qingcheng turned and left, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other. Pharmacist Pan said, "Shall we go?"

The chubby pharmacist was a little scared now, "So it was the young lady who asked me to expose it to the sun. I just said that, she won't tell the young lady, will she?"

One of the older male pharmacists said, "Why does she let us do this? Being an assistant to the young lady, you really think you are a piece of cake."

Pharmacist Pan watched the rain getting heavier and heavier. He was afraid that the young lady would hold them responsible later. He hesitated for a moment and decided, "Let's go collect the herbs!"

Several pharmacists in the room then filed out one after another. Soon, Wen Qingcheng went to several pharmacies and asked everyone to come out according to the plan. Soon, all the astragalus in the yard were collected into cloth bags and piled up in the corridor.

"Okay, we've harvested all the astragalus. Let's go back to work. Xiao Wen, this is what your team took out from the warehouse. You can go to the warehouse to store it later."

After saying that, everyone left one by one, leaving only Wen Qingcheng standing in the corridor, looking at the piles of astragalus on the ground with a sad face.

There was another rumbling thunder, and heavy rain began to fall outside. The cold wind mixed with moisture blew directly onto Wen Qingcheng's chest. Wen Qingcheng was already soaked to the skin, and the cold wind made her lips turn purple and she got goose bumps.

Seeing the wind blowing rain into the corridor, Wen Qingcheng was afraid that the astragalus would be wet by the rain, so he rummaged through the space for a long time and found some waterproof cloth. He piled the bags of astragalus in one place and covered them directly with the waterproof cloth.
