The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

"Yeah, it must be that Dad and the uncles taught them when they were drinking, otherwise they wouldn't know. We have to let them drink less in the future. We must not let them leak our ointment recipe. This is the most important thing."

Zhou Mingqi said this casually, and Zhou Mingshu was startled. This is a problem.

But this matter has to be left to Old Mrs. Zhou.

After picking up half a basin of snails, the two sisters washed them clean and took the basin back home.

Without stopping after wiping their hands, they walked towards Boss Zhou and his group, who were mixing mud not far from the river at the foot of the mountain.

There were adobe bricks placed one after another on the ground. It was obvious that they had just been made not long ago. If you pressed your finger on them, fingerprints would appear.

These adobe bricks are a little different from what Zhou Mingshu imagined. There are a lot of straws mixed in them?!

Thinking about it, this move must be to reinforce the adobe and make it stronger.

"Why are you here? Do you want to try this job?" Zhou Laosan stopped the wooden shovel in his hand and said with a smile.

"Uncle, let me try." Zhou Mingqi rolled up his sleeves and wanted to get to work without saying a word. He stepped forward and took the wooden shovel from Zhou Laosan's hand and started to scoop up the wet mud on the ground.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! Zhou Mingqi shoveled down with such force that it seemed as if he could move the entire earth.

"Oh, why is it so heavy?" She felt that she was quite strong, but in front of this pile of wet mud, her strength suddenly seemed insignificant.

"Hahaha, let me show off your ability!" Zhou Laosan laughed on the side.

The others also looked up and laughed at her, "How could it not be heavy? A wooden shovel like this must weigh at least twenty pounds."

Zhou Mingqi let go of her hand and scratched her head. Twenty-odd pounds was not very heavy and was within her tolerance.

But she added a wooden stick on top, and she had not been able to use enough strength to lift it up. Moreover, the wet mud was very sticky, and she could not move it at all!

"Silly girl, can't you shovel less? Just shovel a few more times like this." Zhou Laoer was demonstrating it to her.

"Second brother, are you really going to teach them? When will our darling daughters be able to do this job?" Boss Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.

They worked for such a short while that they were sweating like they had just taken a shower.

"It doesn't matter whether you do it or not. Isn't it good to know more things? The main thing is that you will be fine." Zhou Laoer thinks it's good to know more things.

"Dad, what the uncle said is right. It's good to learn more things. Besides, who said that a spoiled girl can't work? I was always the one who picked up the snail meat you ate. Also, did you tell others that sheep dung snails are edible? When we were picking them up just now, we saw many people picking them up..."

Zhou Mingqin was filled with righteous indignation and kept talking with her lips pouted.

After she said this, she was severely scolded by the three brothers of the Zhou family.

"Er Ya, you can't think like that. It's wrong to think like that. The sheep dung snails have been growing in the river for so long. There are so many of them everywhere. We can't eat them all in a short time. Not to mention a few children picking them up in the river, even if everyone in the village went to pick them up, they wouldn't be able to pick them all up."

"That stuff is the same as mushrooms in the mountains. Anyone who wants to eat it can go pick it up. It's a gift from nature. Don't learn to be petty."

"Okay, okay, stop talking. I surrender, I surrender." Zhou Mingqi frowned and pouted his lips.

"Don't drink too much when you're out drinking. Our ointment recipe is the most important. What will happen if you let it slip?!"

Zhou Mingqi, who was defenseless at the beginning, fought back and lectured the three adults.

The three of them agreed. Although drinking was enjoyable, nothing could compare to their own ointment recipe, which was the secret to the Zhou family's wealth.

"Don't worry, we will never drink outside again, haha." Zhou Laosan patted his chest and promised.

Zhou Mingshu didn't expect that this matter could be resolved so easily, but he couldn't control his mouth when he drank too much, especially his uncle, who not only talked nonsense but also got drunk and crazy sometimes. He still had to remind Mrs. Zhou to be careful.

I looked at the adobe bricks on the ground. The ones made before and today only had a total of dozens of bricks. It's not easy to make adobe bricks.

It costs at least a thousand dollars to build a shed, and this is just a small amount. I don’t know how long it will take.

The next morning, Zhou Mingshu got up early, packed his things, and went out with Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan.

There were not only four hundred bottles of mugwort paste in the backpack, but also loofahs and chili leaves. No matter whether Uncle Chen recognized them or not, he had to perform the whole play.

"Sister Banxia, ​​do you know these two plants?" Zhou Mingshu asked Chen Banxia first, and when he saw her shaking her head and saying she didn't know, he asked Chen Sheng.

Mr. Chen touched it carefully and sniffed it. Although he didn't recognize what it was, he could still tell that it was not poisonous.

"I've never seen this thing before. Where did you get it?"

"Uncle Chen, these were picked in my yard. Their fruits have been cooked into vegetables, but I didn't feel any discomfort after eating them."

"You are such a brave girl, you dare to eat something you don't recognize. Come, let me check your pulse to prevent any accidents."

Mr. Chen pretended to take Zhou Mingshu's pulse, and Zhou Mingshu obediently stretched out his arm.

"Hmm~ There really is no sign of poisoning. If it tastes good when cooked, it might really be a dish. Maybe we just haven't eaten it before. Your place is close to the forest, and these seeds may have been blown over by the wind, or brought over by bird droppings."

"Uncle Chen, I thought so too. When I have the chance, I can go to bigger places and ask around. Maybe someone there will know him."

"Haha, yes, we have a vast territory and abundant resources in Daliang. What can't we have? Oh, by the way, I have good news for you. You weren't here yesterday, so someone from the medicine store in the next town came to ask about the wormwood paste. They said they wanted to sell some in the store. Because you weren't here, I didn't agree immediately. I only agreed to sell them fifty bottles to see how it goes. The cost of these fifty bottles is still the ten cents you ordered."

"Sure, Uncle Chen, I'll talk to them next time they come."

It's a good thing to have a bigger business. In addition to Uncle Chen, I will have another "distributor". I feel really happy.

Old Mrs. Zhou took her eldest son Zhou and her eldest grandson Zhou Mingzhi to her mother's home, which was the home of the boys' uncle.

"I was wondering why there was a magpie chirping on the pomegranate tree in front of Old Wang's house so early in the morning. It turned out that Sister Wang had returned."

The front door of Lao Wang's house faces the main road, and the neighbors often bring small stools to his door to cool down after dinner. Here, he saw an acquaintance from a distance and greeted him enthusiastically.
