Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

This sumptuous dinner not only filled their stomachs, but also made Han Zhaozhao feel the beauty of life. She knew that only by working hard could she and her family live a better life.

Being self-reliant is the most important and crucial thing at any time. This sentence is not just an empty slogan, but also a life attitude.

Look, she really did the right thing when it came to getting the meat!

After eating a meal of meat, the happiness index of the whole family increases dramatically. The satisfaction that eating meat brings to life is even more tangible and stronger than money!

Han Zhaozhao is ready to fight. You little beasts on the mountain, wait, your nemesis is coming soon, let me put an end to your difficult life!

This meal of meat was not eaten in vain!

While the old lady was washing the pots and dishes after dinner, Han Zhaozhao took out her Polygala tenuifolia.

"Brother Sanzi, the after-meal digestion activity is here, help me peel these herbs."

Although Xiao Sanzi was naughty, he was not lazy at all and actually helped Han Zhaozhao with the work.

"Zhao Zhao, is this grass root a medicinal herb? How much can it be sold for per pound? Are there many on the mountain? Is it easy to dig?"

It was also the first time for Xiao Sanzi to come into contact with Chinese medicinal materials. He kept chattering while working, and he was the embodiment of a hundred thousand questions.

Han Zhaozhao chuckled and teased him: "Brother Sanzi, you didn't recognize them, right? These are the grasses on the mountain, the ones with purple flowers. Why, you don't recognize them after taking off the hats?

This herb is called Polygala tenuifolia in Chinese medicine. I haven't had time to go to the pharmacy to ask the price yet! But it will definitely sell for money. As for how much, this half basket will be enough for you to buy notebooks, pencils and erasers."

"Is it so valuable? I'm so stupid! Why didn't I think of making money by digging herbs before!

Zhaozhao, you know more! Take me with you when you go digging herbs in the future. When I make the money from selling them, I will buy you a red headband for the New Year."

"I don't want it. I'm going to get my braids cut when I have time, so why would I want a red flower? Long hair is hard to wash. It's hard to dry in the winter, and it's hard to comb in the morning when it gets tangled. I want to keep my hair short.

I can dig medicinal herbs and sell them myself, so you should keep your money for yourself!

Don’t you want to save money to buy comic books? Don’t worry, your sister will take you flying in the future!

As long as you don't mind delaying your outings and are not afraid of being tired, I will definitely make you a small millionaire, and it will be no problem for you to save up a small treasury in your spare time."

"What are you playing for? Going out to play is not as good as making money! If you have money, what toys can't you buy in the department store? That wind-up car, when you play with it, all the students in the school will be jealous!

Hehe, Zhaozhao, I won't let you suffer any loss. I can catch scorpions, and they can be sold for money. They are sold at drug stores and purchasing stations. Wait until spring and I'll take you to catch scorpions."

What? The purchasing station buys scorpions? Han Zhaozhao suddenly had an idea.

"Well, we are who we are, there is no need to be so clear about the differences. From now on, we can work together and go up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs to save more money!

Brother Sanzi, you said the purchasing station buys scorpions? Which purchasing station? Do they buy other medicinal herbs?"

Xiao Sanzi recalled: "They should have! There are quite a few people selling medicinal materials at the purchasing station of the Qianmen State-owned Medicinal Materials Company. I have seen many people selling scorpions and cicada shells.

They definitely collect Chinese medicinal herbs, but I don’t recognize any of them and didn’t pay much attention to them.

I also heard that many pharmacies such as Tongrentang and Heniantang in Caishikou also buy medicinal materials, and the prices they offer are higher than those at the purchasing stations, but they only buy those of good quality.

Every time I caught dozens of scorpions, people might not be interested in them, so I didn’t dare to ask.”

"Is that so! When I have time, I'll have to ask more about it. We're putting in the same effort, so we still have to find a way to sell it at a good price!" Han Zhaozhao said, touching his chin.

"Yes, you have to ask around. For the same medicinal materials, every penny more you can sell is a penny more. The extra money you sell can be saved to buy comic books, meat, cakes, and popsicles in the summer!"

Oh! There is no room for anything else in a child’s mind except playing and eating!

But this is childhood, innocent! Carefree! Yet so precious!

After cleaning the kitchen, the old lady joined her two children in peeling and cored the Polygala tenuifolia.

I worked until nine o'clock and still hadn't finished, only one fifth left.

"No, I quit! Brother Sanzi, go home and sleep. You have to get up early for school tomorrow!

"Na, let's not do it anymore. If we continue, our necks will fall off. Let's go to sleep. There's only a little left. I can finish it by myself tomorrow morning."

After packing up, the three of them dispersed, and the youngest returned home. Grandma Han also bolted the door, and the grandparents and grandchildren washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Of course, Han Zhaozhao would still go into the space once a night to exercise. She was almost scratched by a wild boar on the mountain today, which made her more determined to develop good skills.

Originally, the next day, Han Zhaozhao wanted to continue going up the mountain to chop wood, dig medicine and dig badger holes. But the main goal was to catch meat!

But things did not go as planned. In the second half of the night, it started to drizzle.

The old lady got up in the middle of the night. Worried that they would get wet in the rain, she moved all the medicinal herbs that were drying under the corridor into the back room.

Han Zhaozhao didn't know all this. As her body turned into that of a child, some of her daily habits and speech and behavior became more and more like those of children of the same age.

I slept like a pig in bed at night, and I couldn't wake up even if I kicked. It was not until the morning when I was woken up by my biological clock that I realized it had rained in the middle of the night.

The bad thing about office workers is that even if it's drizzling or hail, you still have to go to work on time and you can't take leave or be absent without permission.

Grandma went to work. After finishing breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, Han Zhaozhao found a small pile of dry firewood in the kitchen. She knew at a glance that her grandma had gotten up in the middle of the night and snatched it from the backyard.

Look, even though she has lived a second life, her life experience is still a little insufficient compared to the elderly people of this generation.

She didn't expect that the rain in the middle of the night would add so much work to her grandmother's life. Even if the autumn rain continued for several days, there would be no firewood left and she would not be able to cook.

Han Zhaozhao collected the herbs from the back room into the space to dry them in the sun. While picking up the remaining Polygala tenuifolia, he thought to himself: I wonder if Xiao Sanzi saw any effect from eating the pagoda candy?

Wouldn't the little Sanzi be scared? !

Hehehe! The injuries she had suffered were now being experienced by her friends, and she chuckled to herself with evil intentions!

She can't be the only one with this dark history, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to talk about it when everyone gets together.

After Xiao Sanzi recovers from his illness, he will instigate other friends in the alley to eat pagoda candies, so that everyone can enjoy the blessing together. This is what the closest relationship between childhood friends looks like!

Han Zhaozhao decided that for the sake of her friends' health, if parents did not pay attention and did not spend money to buy pagoda candies for their children, she would pay for it herself!

Last night she heard from Xiao Sanzi that a big box of pagoda candy containing 1,500 pieces only cost 15 yuan. She could afford it. It was just three days of digging medicinal herbs and a little watering. It was no big deal!

Even before he earned any money, Han Zhaozhao already felt like a wealthy man. People who were not interested in money in their previous lives still think of money as follows: Money is a bastard, spend it and earn it again!

When it comes to making money, the rules now are completely different from those in later generations. The trading order that is legal and compliant in later generations is illegal in this era. Those who cross the line seriously can even get free food supplies. If you are unlucky, it is not impossible for you to eat peanuts.
