The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 16 Give the Yang Family a Chance to Make Money

Qian thought Jian Yue had brought back two buckets of water. In fact, Jian Yue only brought back enough for her own use. When Jian Yue finished boiling the water and brought the hot and cold water to her room, Qian found that there was no water in the tank. Qian was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.

"Boss, you'd better think of a way quickly. We can't let this little bitch be so arrogant. Look at her, she's so petty and is about to get out of control." Qian had never been treated like this before. The dignity and kindness that she usually maintained were gone.

Jian Dacheng's eyes were gloomy, and he spoke weakly now: "If she doesn't want to work, then don't do it! After selling the chickens and pigs, there is not much work in our family. Humph! Does she think that she can recover her health by working less and eating better? She is too naive. When she goes to the capital and enters a wealthy family, she won't know how she died."

Qian understood instantly.

The head of the family wanted Xin Ning to discipline her. Maybe Xin Ning didn't need to do anything at all, as long as Xin Ning said a word, there would be people who would do it for her.

Qian had worked as a maid in a rich family, so she knew all the ins and outs of a big house. In the backyard, it was too easy to destroy a person quietly.

All right! Let the bitch be arrogant for a few days, she will suffer in the future.

Jian Xiaohe had no food to eat and cried out of grievance. Qian secretly gave her a few cakes to fill her stomach and a few glasses of water, and she managed to get by.

The next morning, Jian Dacheng and his wife hired a ox cart to go to the town again, and then hired a horse carriage from the town to go to the county town to see a doctor.

After getting up, Jian Yue carried half a bucket of water as usual and cooked her own meal.

The cupboard did not have a new lock, but the eggs inside were gone, probably because they had been taken away by Qian.

Jian Yue made some scallion pancakes and fried a plate of beans and eggplant as usual.

A water bag was taken away by Jian Dacheng and his wife. Jian Yue took two bamboo tubes of boiled water, a backpack and a machete and left. When she left, Jian Xiaohe hadn't gotten up yet.

Jian Yue arrived at the Yang family first. The Yang family had just gotten up. Yang Xiaochun took out the pottery jar for boiling medicine and gave it to her.

"Zhao Di, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come to my house and eat later!" Yang Xiaochun said.

Jian Yue deftly put the herbs into the pottery jar and added water: "No need, I've eaten it."

"How could you have eaten so early? Come eat with me later, don't be embarrassed." Yang Xiaochun's mother said.

The Yang family was not wealthy. Yang Cheng and his son were both honest country men. Apart from tending the few acres of land at home, they would go to town to do odd jobs. When they were lucky, they could earn more than twenty copper coins a day.

From ancient times to the present, the poorer the place, the less valuable the labor.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I really ate it. I also brought some food with me up the mountain." Jian Yue showed her the scallion pancakes wrapped in leaves in the basket. Yang Xiaochun's mother only smelled the aroma of oil, but didn't see what was under the leaves.

Jian Yue changed the subject: "Auntie, have you eaten the lotus root I gave you the day before yesterday?"

Speaking of lotus root, Aunt Yang's eyes lit up: "I ate it. I fried it according to your method. It was very crispy and delicious. I was just about to ask you, where did you find it?"

Jian Yue did not answer her, but said: "Auntie, is there anyone selling lotus roots in town? If not, you can go and sell them."

Aunt Yang was startled for a moment, then she understood and said with a look of surprise: "Zhao Di, do you think this thing can be sold for money?"

Jian Yue nodded: "If there is none in the town, my aunt's family can take advantage of the opportunity and make some money." The Yang family is a good family, and Jian Yue is willing to help the Yang family before leaving.

Aunt Yang quickly called Yang Cheng and his son over and repeated Jian Yue's words. Yang Cheng and his son were very excited. They carefully recalled the vegetable market in the town and really didn't see anyone selling lotus roots.

Four pairs of eyes looked at Jian Yue eagerly.

Yang Xiaochun asked: "Zhao Di, tell me quickly, can it really be sold for money?"

"Yes! Lotus root has a fragrant smell, a slightly sweet taste, and is crisp and refreshing. It has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, strengthening the spleen and appetite, and nourishing blood and regenerating muscles. However, people with weak constitutions should eat less. It is suitable for people with poor appetite." Jian Yue explained the effects and functions of lotus root in detail, and also mentioned several ways to cook it, so that the Yang family members would remember it firmly. At the end, she said, "Uncle Yang and Brother Yang can dig a little and bring it to the town to try. This is a rare thing, so don't set the price too low. Moreover, this thing cannot be stored for a long time, it will turn black."

The Yang family was very tempted by Jian Yue's words. But they had never sold anything before and didn't know how to advertise.

Jian Yue taught Yang Xiaochun several times, and asked the Yang family to give away simple recipes when they sold lotus roots.

When the medicine was ready, Aunt Yang rushed to pour it for Jian Yue, and even considerately took out two extra bowls to keep cool for her.

Jian Yue also told the Yang family how to pick lotus roots.

"Auntie, if you want to make money, don't make it public. Get up early or pick lotus roots at night."

The Yang family nodded in agreement.

Aunt Yang suddenly felt that Zhaodi was very smart and very different from the previous Zhaodi.

After drinking the medicine, Jian Yue left the Yang family. Yang Xiaochun wanted to help her collect herbs, but Jian Yue declined. The mountains were dangerous, and she could not guarantee Yang Xiaochun's safety.

In Laowan Village, only Doctor Ma knows how to collect herbs. But he is old and rarely goes deep into the mountains, so there are many herbs near the inner area.

Jian Yue prepared a strong drug to deal with wild animals in the mountains yesterday. With the memory of collecting herbs in the mountains in her previous life, she was not afraid of going into the mountains.

Collecting herbs in the mountains is not an easy job. Jian Yue is weak, so she takes a break after collecting some. She is lucky today and found a ginseng about fifty years old and two reddish-brown Ganoderma lucidum. This color of Ganoderma lucidum can increase heart energy, replenish internal organs, and enhance memory.

These two rare medicinal herbs are what Jian Yue needs to recuperate, and she has no intention of selling them.

After filling the backpack with herbs, Jian Yue found a secret place on the outskirts, hid the herbs, and continued to collect herbs.

In the evening, Jian Yue brought two baskets of herbs to Doctor Ma, and she also helped him sort them by species. Her speed of sorting shocked Doctor Ma.

He is a good candidate for studying medicine!

Doctor Ma felt a sense of appreciation for this talent.

But his medical skills were mediocre and he couldn't teach anyone anything, so he said nothing.

Jian Yue went to Yang's house.

The Yang family was unprecedentedly enthusiastic towards her.

Yang Xiaochun held her hand and spoke incoherently with excitement: "Zhao Di, it's sold for money, it's really sold for money. There's a chef in some building, he, he wants all of them."

Jian Yue smiled and nodded.

She acted very calmly, as if she had expected it to be sold. She did not ask the Yang family how much they sold it for. When she planned to tell the Yang family about this business, she did not plan to share the profits with them.

Aunt Yang held Jian Yue's hand and said with emotion: "Zhao Di, you told us about this good money-making opportunity, so we have to give you half of the money." She took out more than twenty copper coins and stuffed them into Jian Yue's hand. "I didn't dare to dig too many today, for fear that I couldn't sell them. I only dug a few and sold them for a hundred dollars. Lotus roots are too valuable."

Jian Yue resolutely refused...
