Thinking that the Huo family still needs to verify the learning effect, it will take another day.
Jiang Zhi didn't leave in a hurry. He led a group of people in the city to select various items for use on the mountain. In particular, he must not forget the cannabis flowers he promised to bring to Peppa.
There are also various mesh screens that I didn’t buy last time, which will also be needed in the future.
In the afternoon, Miss Huo Er came again!
As soon as she saw Jiang Zhi, she said: "Mrs. Jiang, the granules have been made today. Those pharmacists were negligent yesterday. I hope Madam can forgive me."
When it comes to taking people's money, Jiang Zhi only cares about what she has taught her. What she thinks is other people's business. She doesn't care so much: "As long as you can do it, everything else is just a misunderstanding."
When Miss Huo Er saw that Jiang Zhi said it was a misunderstanding, she knew that she had not offended anyone, so she smiled and said, "It's just that I have something to ask Madam, can you please bother me for a while?"
Jiang Zhi couldn't refuse this, and she was also curious about this woman who had become the head of Huo's Pharmacy at a young age, so she nodded in agreement: "Miss Huo Er is too petty, please feel free to do it!"
There is no reason for women to just sit around and talk. Miss Huo Er brought a fruit basket, and everyone just chatted while eating.
In the more than a year since he came here, Jiang Zhi has not eaten any decent fruit except for the various berries on the mountain.
Every family in the village originally had loquats, peaches, apricots, etc. planted in front of and behind their houses. Those who managed to survive after being burned by the fire have long since been picked by the refugees.
Now in May, there are already a lot of fruits for sale in the market, and Jiang Zhi also bought some to take back.
In Miss Huo Er's fruit basket, apart from peaches, apricots and plums, there was one kind of fruit that surprised Jiang Zhi.
They were just a few lychees with green leaves, and the stems looked like they had only been picked a day ago.
Seeing that Jiang Zhi was really surprised, Miss Huo Er smiled and said: "This is Hejiang lychee. It should mature after June. It is rare for me to catch an early fruit, so I asked Mrs. Jiang to have a taste."
Sichuan produces lychees. Due to different regions and short sunshine hours, Hejiang lychees are characterized by their late maturity, two months later than those in Lingnan.
Lychee is a very delicate fruit.
The ancients said: "If you leave the original branch, the color will change in one day, the fragrance will change in the second day, the taste will change in the third day, and the external color and fragrance will disappear in four or five days."
No wonder Jiang Zhi always feels confused about this bland and expensive fruit every time he buys lychees at the fruit shop in town: Is this the taste that the emperor likes?
Miss Huo Er also went there to buy medicinal materials and was lucky enough to get some.
This is a tribute that ordinary people cannot eat. If it weren't for the war, even the tree would have been packed away.
Taking it out now is also meant to show off.
Jiang Zhi got a lychee, and Er Rui, Xiao Man, and Li Laoshi also got one each.
Peel off the rough outer skin, and you'll find the crystal clear, crisp, tender, and sweet flesh inside.
Xiao Man stuffed it into his mouth after one bite and was immediately shocked. His eyebrows flew up: "Wow! It's delicious. What does it taste like? It's so delicious!"
Li Laoshi looked at the pulp again and again, licked it lightly, winked for a long time and was reluctant to take a bite, and finally walked away with the lychee in his hands.
In front of Miss Huo Er, he was embarrassed to eat slowly.
Jiang Zhi pinched the lychee and looked at it, then put it aside. Miss Huo Er was just trying to see her reaction, but she didn't expect to eat it. She asked in confusion: "Mrs. Jiang, doesn't she like lychee?"
Jiang Zhi smiled: "I have eaten this fruit before and thought it was rare. I want to take it back and let my family try it too!"
Miss Huo Er suddenly realized: "I didn't think carefully about this!"
Jiang Zhi smiled and shook his head: "No, you can't let go of the lychees. No matter how much you take back, they will lose their flavor.
Eating is not important, the main thing is to let other people in the family see what the tributes are like. "
Miss Huo Er only sent five lychees in total, which shows how precious these things are. How could she eat them herself and then take them home.
It's just lychee, and it won't make you grow more bell meat after eating it. No matter how curious I am, I don't want this taste.
Unexpectedly, next to her, Xu Errui heard what his mother said, lowered his head, peeled off a hard shell of the lychee in his hand, and was smelling the fragrance, covered it again and put it away.
Xiaoman was embarrassed. He had the core in his mouth and couldn't swallow it, so he could only retreat with a blushing face.
With the help of lychees, Miss Huo Er also spoke: "Mrs. Jiang has been in Xujiacun before. How can she know these medicines and eat lychees?"
She came to chat with Jiang Zhi, originally wanting to find out the details. Huo Yanjie and the others had already passed on the information before.
It was said that Jiang was just a peasant woman who used to make a living by farming in the village. After the medical shed was established in Xujia Village, she delivered medicine to the medical shed.
After all, it is strange for a village woman who never leaves home to suddenly understand these things.
When Miss Huo Er asked this question, it was not as if Xu Errui and Xiao Manye trusted her wholeheartedly, nor was Xu Gensheng's simple curiosity. There must be something deeper.
Jiang Zhi did not panic. He had already received the banknotes and the contract had been approved by Magistrate Zhang. The most difficult hurdle had passed.
Now, you can answer the Huo family's questions however you want. Even if you don't answer, it will have no impact.
"When I was still in my mother's family in my early years, I traveled far away with my elders and gained some knowledge, but it was only a trivial amount.
No one can compare to the second young lady who can take charge of a pharmacy at such a young age, which makes me admire even at this age! "Jiang Zhi kicked the ball back lightly with just one sentence.
In fact, Jiang Zhi has not been idle these two days. From Xiang Dejin and Wu Hongmao, she already has a general understanding of the Huo Family Medicine Store.
Especially Miss Huo Er, she mentioned to Dejin and the others many times that Miss Huo Er was very capable in managing the pharmacy.
It was a family business for a young woman to be the head of the house, which was rare in feudal society.
But women in Berkshire are different from those elsewhere.
Because of the lack of transportation and being on the edge of feudal culture for a long time, the ethical shackles on women here are far less profound than in other places.
And because of the long-term war and immigration, the blood ties between large families were severed, so small families were scattered among the mountains and rivers because of the land.
According to the census conducted during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the average household in Sichuan was only 4 people, which was far lower than the national level at that time.
Large clan families generally focus on the relationship between father and son, emphasizing respect and filial piety.
In the Bashu area, small families often focus on the relationship between husband and wife, emphasizing equality and helping each other.
This forces women to appear strong and independent and become the backbone of the family.
Women have to bear greater burdens in life, and naturally they also receive broad free space and respect.
In this land, there is 42-year-old Xue Tao who is still writing love poems on pink paper, playing sibling love, and leaving behind "Xue Tao's paper".
There was a widow who married for the second time, and the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" has been passed down to this day between Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru.
During the Warring States Period, there was a female entrepreneur named "Ba Qing" from Bajun. Her family power covered most of today's Chongqing, with a population of 50,000, and one-fifth of them were servants of the Ba Qing family.
Because of his strong support for Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of his generation, to unify the six countries, he was awarded and canonized.
While other women left their names in the "Biography of Women", only Qin Liangyu from Zhong County, Sichuan (today's Shizhu, Chongqing) was the only female general in ancient history to be recorded in official history.
There is also another famous woman, that is Wu Zetian, the only empress in history!
Therefore, it is obviously normal for Miss Huo Er to run the medicine store, Jiang Zhi to be the village chief, and women to go out and walk around at will.
