On the eve of wheat harvest, Jiang Yue spent most of her time studying medicine.

In recent months, Jiang Yue no longer brought lunch from home. Instead, her second sister brought her lunch.

Today, the same is true.

Just as she walked out of the academy gate, she saw her second sister appear in front of her with a small lunch box.

It was a hot summer day, with the sun high overhead at noon, my second sister was sweating profusely and her little face was sunburned red.

"Second sister, what delicious food did you bring today?"

"open to take a look."

Jiang Yue smelled the aroma of food, opened the lunch box, and revealed a plate of stir-fried vegetables, some stewed pork ribs, and a bowl of white rice.

"Second sister, you don't need to bring me meals anymore. I can eat by myself." Second sister's daily business is already busy enough, and Jiang Yue doesn't want to make her even busier because of herself.

"This is not like your master's shop. Our shop is far away. Xiaoliu is so young, what if he gets lost? Your third sister made this in the morning when she was free. You eat the same kind of noodles every day, so you might as well change the taste."

Jiang Erni finished speaking and left quickly without saying much.

It was a busy time in the shop. Although the ingredients were ready, noodles still needed to be cooked. The third sister was too busy to handle it alone.

Jiang Yue is always thinking about growing up quickly. If she were not too young, her sister would not be worried.

She entered the hall with the food box, and as soon as she sat down, she received envious looks from her two friends.

She opened the lunch box, put the food on the table one by one, and started to eat the white rice in the bowl.

"Xiaoliu doesn't go to and from school with us anymore." Zhao Xiaocang was a little depressed as he was eating white steamed buns and braised pork. He really liked riding in the car with Xiaoliu.

Lin Xiaoyong was also feeling depressed as he ate the meat dumplings made by his mother.

"I really want to have a sister like Xiaoliu who would bring me food every day." But Jiang Erni doesn't like me.

He has cold food every day at noon, so he has to wait until what time does he have to eat.

Zhao Xiaocang does have an older sister. "Someday, let my sister come to town to sell noodles and bring me meals every day."

After hearing what Zhao Xiaocang said, Lin Xiaoyong thought about it and said, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to bring me food."

The two little children sighed as they talked.

It was not until Jiang Yue gave each of them a piece of her ribs that smiles appeared on their faces.

Soon, meat dumplings and braised pork appeared in her bowl.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Yue went to her master’s pharmacy.

In the past six months, the master had been busy in his pharmacy in the county town all day long, staying in the shop in the town for only one hour every day. When she went there, the master had already appeared in the shop in the county town.

She would help with some of the work, mostly helping with cutting and pounding herbs.

If there is nothing to do, just rest for a while on the small bed in the backyard house, which is better than staying in the academy.

The academy actually provides accommodation, so you don’t have to go home every day.

But her grandmother didn't allow her to stay. The families of her two fellow villagers also refused to let her stay because the children were too young and they had to pay 100 copper coins a month.

...After today,

It was the wheat harvest season, and my second and third sisters were busy selling noodles and had no time to take care of it.

Grandma and the eldest, fourth and fifth sisters held sickles and welcomed the joy of the harvest together.

The harvested wheat was put into bundles by the fourth and fifth sisters, and then tied up by two farmhands, and loaded onto a cart and transported to the field.

Spread it out to dry in the sun.

Jiang Yue had a day off recently, so she went directly to the fields and picked up the fallen ears of wheat.

"Xiao Liu, grandma and the sisters will do the work in the fields."

Liu Chunfeng really felt sorry for Jiang Yue. In addition to studying, she was always thinking about her family's small noodle business and the wheat ears in the fields.

"Grandma, I'm not tired." Jiang Yue reached out and wiped the sweat off her grandmother's face. "Grandma, let's buy some more corn seeds. After the wheat is harvested, we can plant them directly after plowing the fields and fertilizing them."

"Well, grandma had already said hello to Landlord Wu when she went to Xinghua Village last time."

After all the busy work, the wheat ears in the fields were finally harvested.

The colt was put on the stone mill and began to grind slowly.

The sisters sat in the shade of the poplar trees at the top of the field to enjoy the coolness, and took turns with grandma to lead the foal to crush the wheat ears...

After the wheat ears are threshed and dried, the grains are weighed.

Two hundred kilograms of seeds and ten acres of land yielded a total of more than two thousand four hundred kilograms of grain.

First, half a sack of wheat was ground into flour. Liu Chunfeng made her own yeast and steamed two large pots of steaming white buns.

The big steamed buns are very chewy when eaten bite by bite.

Jiang Yue felt a sense of satisfaction that she had never experienced in this world, and the smiles on her grandmother and sisters' faces also broke...

Their original wish finally came true.

From then on, there were big white steamed buns on the Jiang family’s dining table every day, and they no longer had to eat the hard and astringent multi-grain steamed bread.

Liu Chunfeng kept some for herself and seeds for next year, and exchanged the rest for money indirectly.

She was feeling the joy of a good harvest and had already started applying fertilizer.

Xiaoliu said that she wanted to plant more corn to feed the pigs and sheep, etc., and she was actually a little reluctant.

But think about it, if you eat well, you can sell it at a higher price.

All the farmyard manure in the ranch is buried in the ground. The whole process is easy to say but tiring to do.

For this reason, Liu Chunfeng increased the wages of Lin Guo and Cheng Yuchu.

After all the top grain fields were planted with corn, the millet planted at home also began to be harvested...

That's what farmers do, always busy.

After the busy summer season, Jiang Yue’s second sister delivered lunch to her as usual.

After lunch at the academy, she went to Jishifang today, and Xu Er was busy running around as usual.

Luckily, she ran into her master as soon as she arrived today.

"Xiao Liu is here."

Shen Qing was calculating the accounts for the recent days. He looked up and saw Jiang Yue coming over and taking the account book.

"Master is busy?"

"I've just finished my work." As he spoke, Shen Qing sighed.

Jiang Yue: "What's wrong with Master?" In her memory, except for Tang Li who once threatened Master, their pharmacy had never encountered any problems.

"A new martial arts school has recently opened in Qinghe Town... Alas!"

Martial arts gym? Jiang Yue guessed: "Is it because there is not enough medicine?"

Shen Qing nodded helplessly.

"Xiao Liu, when you have a rest, we will go to the forest to collect herbs together."

"Okay." Jiang Yue remembered that her master had said this when she first became his disciple, but he was always busy and had no time to spare.

"Master, our medicine shop only relies on some fixed sporadic purchases, and the categories are always patchwork. Perhaps, you can consider planting a medicinal field ourselves. Then, if we need any medicine, we don't have to go to the mountains to look for it."

Jiang Yue knew that in this era, medicinal materials were mainly collected by mountain people, collected by small drug dealers, and then distributed by large drug dealers.

"How about you buy a manor and set up a medicinal field?"

"That's a good idea." Shen Qing's mind flashed with inspiration.

"Master, go to Tang Li someday and ask if there are any manors for sale."

After saying this, he took a sip of tea.

"You have been studying for a year now, so you must know a lot of words. Today, Master will teach you how to further diagnose the condition."

"Dad, I heard that you accepted a little apprentice, but he shouldn't be this young?"

At this time, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old came in and looked at Jiang Yue's small body with displeasure on his face.

Especially when he saw the look in his father's eyes when he looked at Jiang Yue, which was a warmth that he didn't have, he was extremely displeased.

The person who came was Shen Qing's son, Shen Fangze.

"Aren't you studying in the county town?" Shen Qing frowned, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

"I've been reading all day, and my mind is a little confused. That's why I wanted to come and see my dad."
