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

She asked Doctor Shen to take a closer look at what kind of medicinal herb it was and whether it was edible.

Doctor Shen took a closer look and confirmed that it was indeed fresh Schisandra chinensis, and only then did Mrs. Zhou feel relieved.

Hearing her say that these were picked by Mingshu and her other children on the mountain, Doctor Shen smiled with satisfaction.

This girl is really amazing. She knows about herbs and can put them into practice in her daily life. That's pretty good.

"Big sister, you have a great granddaughter. She loves to learn and can apply what she has learned. It's rare to have such a mindset."

Old Mrs. Zhou felt very happy when she was praised.

I didn't expect that I would become the envy of others.

She went to the kitchen, got a small basket, and put some wild strawberries in it for Dr. Shen.

"Doctor Shen, thank you for taking care of our business. These are the fruits that the children just brought back from the mountains this morning. They are very fresh. You can take them home and eat them slowly. There are too many at home and we can't finish them all."

Doctor Shen looked at the full basket of strawberries and felt touched. He also felt that this trip was a good deal.

I thought I came here today to pay a deposit, but I didn't expect that I could get the goods directly.

That would have been fine, but I also got a basket of strawberries.

This is a rare thing!!

I heard that the big strawberries cost dozens of cents per pound, but this basket of small strawberries is sweet and free. It will be so delicious to take them home and give them to my grandchildren.

This time, five hundred bottles of mugwort ointment were needed, so Zhou Mingshu called on his brothers and sisters to come and help.

They had learned Arabic numerals and this was a good opportunity to practice them.

"You guys count them, put them in piles of ten, and I'll put them in the basket."

The unfamiliar numbers were repeated mechanically over and over again.

By the time they had counted the five hundred bottles of mugwort paste, they had memorized the numbers by heart.

After moving the things onto the carriage and sending Doctor Shen back, they returned to the yard.

"Grandma, look, one tael of silver."

Zhou Mingshu opened her palm, and a small piece of silver, shining with silver light, lay in her palm.

Everybody gathered around to watch.

The most common coins we see on a daily basis are copper coins, and we have never seen an exact tael of silver in the traditional sense.

Everyone took turns touching it, and then Old Lady Zhou put it back into her waist bag.

"Okay, we have to work hard on weekdays, otherwise why would anyone come to give us money? Let's make dumplings tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Zhou took the silver back to the main room. She wanted to keep it away.

Five hundred bottles of mugwort ointment were gone from the house in an instant, and the stock was reduced by half.

If Uncle Chen comes over to get more goods, I'm afraid there won't be much left.

It looks like we need to prepare to make another batch of goods.

The work this afternoon is still heavy.

As soon as Doctor Shen left, everyone started preparing things and began to sift the wheat outside.

The earlier you screen, the earlier you finish the work, and you can rest earlier.

Everyone was busy without even taking a nap.

The little donkey, which had been walking around for the whole morning, was now lying under the shade of a tree, eating grass and taking a rest.

Just like last time, everyone was covered in dust and dirt, but when they opened their mouths slightly to speak, they could reveal a row of big white teeth.

The wooden racks they had built before were not enough, so they temporarily pushed the unused straw aside.

Harvest the wheat grains on the ground first, and worry about the rest later.

By the time everything was done, it was almost dark.

The straw has not been stacked yet, but the wheat grains have at least been stored in the granary.

The meal in the evening was even simpler, and was all prepared by my aunt alone. There was a dish of mung bean jelly, a dish of cold-mixed purslane, a plate of stir-fried loofah, and a dish of green beans.

After eating a simple meal, everyone began to rest, fanning themselves with large palm-leaf fans. They were hot and tired, and did not eat much.

The woodshed door panels that had been removed previously have now been reinstalled.

We are all exhausted today and feel a little faint.

Those were thousands of kilograms of wheat, and they went back and forth to collect them, never stopping at all.

Even though they are grown men, their arms feel a little sore.

"Boss, go get some meat tomorrow so we can have dumplings for lunch."

"it is good."

"Sanya, do you want to buy some fat meat?"

"purchase."

"Boss, buy another ten kilograms of fat meat."

Old Mrs. Zhou said this first, and then went to the backyard to feed the chickens.

Zhou Mingshu crawled into the quilt and lay down in a heap.

After a busy day, she is exhausted!

Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er harnessed their donkey carts to go to the slaughterhouse to sell meat, and Zhou Mingyuan insisted on going with them.

This brat was already grown up, so Zhou Laoer grabbed his waist and lifted his son onto the donkey cart.

"Mom, let's go."

The two sons went out early in the morning, and the rest of the people were busy with housework.

Zhou Mingshu picked out the snails that had spit out the sand, and planned to make a real dish of "Stir-fried Snails" for lunch.

"San Ya, you are busy. I was just about to ask you to go pick mint with me. My elder sister and the others have already gone. We will buy pork today and cook it."

"Okay, I got it. You guys go first, I'll come find you after I finish packing these."

Now, everyone in the family went out to prepare things, even my aunt went out to help.

Zhou Mingshu thought secretly that the two pots at home were not enough, and he would have to ask his uncle and father to build two stoves in a few days.

You have to boil lard, steam mugwort, cook and boil water.

Two pots are really not enough. There are people at home who are idle and have no place to use their energy.

She threw all the cut snail tails into the duck pen.

This thing can remove intestinal fat and also supplement calcium. If ducks eat more, they can lay eggs earlier.

She is still waiting to eat the preserved eggs.

I went to the backyard and took a look. Fortunately, the sheds in the backyard were separated by adobe bricks.

Even if there are many livestock, it will not be messy. All livestock have their own "homes". Everything is in order and you can tell at a glance which shed is the home of which animal.

After finishing all this, Zhou Mingshu went out with a basket, first picking up the things he would need in the afternoon and bringing them home, as he also had to make strawberry jam later.

There were a lot of things to do, and she was so anxious that she was sweating.

Old Mrs. Zhou took her two daughters-in-law to a farther place to cut mugwort.

Feng and Daya and Erya went to the village to pick mint.

Ever since the villagers of Lianglin Village learned that this mint is edible, they would come and pick some to eat when their families were short of vegetables.

It may not be noticeable once or twice, but if everyone picks it, the mint will not be able to hold on, and now it doesn't look as lush as before.

"San Ya, you're here. We were just talking about how you've become bald since you haven't been here for a while."

Zhou Mingqi pouted, obviously unhappy.

This directly affects their making of mugwort paste.

"It's okay, just pick as many as you can. There are still a few plants outside our door. Pick all the leaves when you get home."

"Even if we pick them all, it won't be of much use. I think we should dig up a few more and plant them at home. The few we have now are simply not enough."

"No, the root system of this mint is very developed. It will grow into a large patch within a year. It will be difficult to remove it in the future. You can make do with so many of them. There is no need to rush to plant them at home."
