After leaving Jirentang, Xia Qingfeng put the banknotes and silver into the space, and took Xu Xiaoxiao to the grain store. He couldn't be too conspicuous, so he could only stock up a little at a time.
"Mom, I think the background of Jirentang's boss is not simple."
"You can see it too? But those with no background have nothing to do with us. This ginseng did not lower the price for us, and they also gave us herbal seeds. At least it shows that they are upright businessmen. In the future, our village will sell herbal medicine to them, It also saves me a lot of worries.”
Xia Qingfeng and Xu Xiaoxiao bought 200 jins of rice and noodles each at the grain store, 100 jins of millet rice, 50 jins of glutinous rice, and 100 jins each of red beans, mung beans, and soybeans. The owner of the grain store saw a big deal. , welcomed me very warmly, and said that I would have free door-to-door delivery.
Xia Qingfeng didn't dare to hoard food in such a big way, and he really couldn't explain it to the villagers. So, I asked the waiter to push the food to a less crowded alley, saying that someone would come to pick it up later.
After the waiter put down the food and left, Xia Qingfeng put the food into the space. Then they used the same method to go to the grocery store, blacksmith shop, pastry shop, butcher shop, and bought some miscellaneous things. Anyway, the space can keep them fresh, so there is no need to worry about them getting spoiled.
While shopping around, Xia Qingfeng sighed: "This space is really nice. I really have to thank this space spirit for not only sending us to this ancient rebirth, but also bringing us such great convenience."
"Then you should be nicer to Uncle Space. After all, he is also our savior." Xu Xiaoxiao pulled Xia Qingfeng, her two short legs tight.
"Xiaoxiao is still sensible, you are too cruel to me!" Xia Qingfeng heard the voice of Space Spirit, with a hint of grievance.
"Why did I hurt you? I'm talking to Xiaoxiao, so don't interrupt."
The sky elf dared not speak again.
"Look, look, you're being mean to Uncle Space again. There's nothing to buy. Let's go back. I'm hungry and tired." Xu Xiaoxiao really couldn't walk.
"Okay, okay! Let's take an ox cart back." Xia Qingfeng bought two meat buns on the roadside, hired an ox cart at the city gate, and returned to Yong'an Village. Xu Xiaoxiao was once again rocked by the bullock cart and fell asleep.
After returning home, Xia Qingfeng carried Xu Xiaoxiao to the kang, released Xia Yingjun from the space, and let him guard him here. He took out a few pieces of previously steamed red date cake from the space and went to the village chief's house.
The courtyard of the village chief's house is very large, with seven or eight rooms on the east and west sides, but only two on the east side are large blue brick houses, while the other rooms are still adobe houses. I heard that the village chief’s family originally planned to build large tile-roofed houses. Later, the old mother fell ill and spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine. As a result, there was no money to build the house. So many houses were built with blue bricks and adobe, which was unconventional here. years.
Xia Qingfeng stepped forward and knocked on the door. He only heard the sound of "thump thump thump" running in the yard. Then the door opened, and a round little head poked out from inside, with a small hoe braid rising to the sky. , very cute. This is Suo Tou, the little grandson of the village chief's family.
"Little Suo Tou, is your grandfather at home?" Xia Qingfeng couldn't help but tugged at his little braid, then touched his round little head, and stuffed a piece of maltose into Little Suo Tou's mouth.
Little Suo Tou hugged Xia Qingfeng's legs and said sweetly: "Aunt Xia, grandpa is at home." Every child in the village didn't like Xia Qingfeng, because she would always perform tricks on the children. There are all kinds of food in Rise.
The village chief who heard the sound also came out of the house and said, "The girl is here, hurry up, old lady, hurry up and pour the water."
"Uncle village chief, don't be busy. I came here to talk about herbal seeds." Xia Qingfeng handed the cake to the village chief's wife.
"You are here to help our village, why are you bringing pastries? How embarrassing is that?" The village chief's wife was very embarrassed when she saw the pastries handed over by Xia Qingfeng.
"They're all made at home. You're welcome. Give the lock a sweet mouth."
The village chief's wife looked at the pitiful little lock holding her fingers aside and couldn't bear it, so she had no choice but to accept the cake.
"Village Chief, I'm here today to discuss the herbal medicine with you. Jirentang in the town has promised to provide us with herbal seeds. Tomorrow you can arrange for someone to go to Jirentang to pick up the seeds!"
The village chief was very happy when he heard this, and then he said hesitantly, "Doesn't this kind of thing cost a lot of money?"
"Jirentang agrees that if we really grow herbal medicines and can sell them all, they will give away the herbal seeds this time for free. But we don't know the quantity and type yet. We have to wait until we get the seeds back tomorrow. Let’s discuss it later.”
"That's good, that's good!" The village chief smacked his thigh with excitement and said, "It doesn't matter how much it is, as long as it can be planted. I'll tell everyone in a minute, and I guess everyone will be more motivated to open up wasteland."
Xia Qingfeng was also very happy, "Village chief, it's best to send two reliable people tomorrow. After all, it's our first time to grow medicinal materials, so it's better not to make any noise for now."
"Yes, yes, yes, tomorrow I will ask your brother Defa and the second son of Li Dazhu's family to go together." The eldest son of my family has always been steady and capable. The second son of Li Dazhu's family usually goes to town except for doing farm work at home during busy farming periods. Looking for a job, he is a well-spoken and knowledgeable person, so he can rest assured that the two of them will go to work.
"Okay, my sisters-in-law and I have also marked the herbal seedlings on the mountain. When the land is cleared, we will transplant the herbal seedlings."
After a brief discussion, Xia Qingfeng said goodbye and went home. Before leaving, the village chief's wife stuffed Xia Qingfeng with a lot of vegetables and brought a small basket of eggs.
On the way back, Space suddenly spoke up: "Feng'er, aren't you planning to go to Youzhou? What should you do with the herbs here?"
"It happens to be spring now, which is the time for planting herbs. I help the villagers plant the herbs and remind them of some precautions. If they plant these ordinary herbs, there should be no big problems."
"The people in the village took in the original owner and helped me a lot, so I want to do something for the village before I leave, so that they can live a good life, and I can repay the kindness of the original owner!" Xia Qingfeng thought about it, It's really a bit sad. One is that I have developed feelings for the villagers here; the other is that it is not easy to encounter such a warm, harmonious and simple village. After all, most people are selfish and are willing to release their love to others in such poverty. Kindness is really rare.
"Our family is the most kind-hearted."
After hearing this, Xia Qingfeng rolled his eyes toward the sky and said nothing.
After returning home, Xia Qingfeng made two sets of clothes for herself and Xiaoxiao using the cotton cloth she bought in the town before. After finishing it, she remembered that she had forgotten to buy shoes. I'd better forget about the mille-feuille, it's too much effort, I'd better buy a few more pairs next time I go to town.
Remembering what she had promised the female shopkeeper of the cloth shop, she found a paintbrush and began to draw patterns. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were left behind when the original owner was still alive. In terms of painting skills, Xia Qingfeng has absolutely no problem. The original owner's painting skills are already very good. In addition, she studied medicine in her previous life. There was no printer at that time. When learning anatomy and physiology, she had to write and draw by herself. , she is quite good at sketching basics.
The next step is to come up with ideas. She wants to draw some animal cartoon patterns, which are cute and will definitely attract girls' liking. So, with the help of Xu Xiaoxiao, one talked and the other painted, mother and daughter matched up, and quickly painted several patterns.
