Zhao Ping turned around and recognized the person.
She is the fourth aunt of Xiping Village.
She was carrying a rattan basket and a spade, presumably to dig wild vegetables.
Zhao Ping responded with a smile, "No, I don't have rice at home, so I can only dig some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger."
Tsk tsk tsk!
The boy from the Zhao family has changed his gender, and he actually knows how to dig wild vegetables, so he can be saved.
Just as the fourth aunt was sighing, he found Zhao Ping starting to dig up the herbs on the ground.
He hurriedly blocked the exit and said, "Zhao boy, what are you doing?"
"These are medicinal materials and cannot be eaten."
"I don't want to eat."
"Then what are you digging for?"
"Sell."
"You want to sell medicinal materials?"
The fourth aunt was startled. She rushed to Zhao Ping and poured out all the medicinal materials dug into his rattan basket.
And reminded him in a low voice: "Boy from the Zhao family, do you want to die?"
"Without official documents, ordinary people cannot sell medicinal materials privately. If caught, it will be a death penalty."
"ah?!"
Zhao Ping was stunned on the spot.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Boy from the Zhao family, have you forgotten?"
The fourth aunt lamented: "Six years ago, a landlord in Qianmen Village, Yun'an County, was caught by the county magistrate for selling medicinal materials without permission, and he immediately executed his entire family."
“It even affected their village’s land tax by half a percent.”
"Fourth Aunt is begging you, please don't follow his old path."
Zhao Ping searched the memory of the original owner and found out that such a thing happened.
It's just that the original owner was a second-rate guy who just watched the fun, but never got into the reasons, so he didn't know the truth at all.
Now that the Wei Dynasty has banned the sale of medicinal materials, it seems that he, a top student in the medical school, has no use.
"Boy from the Zhao family, did you hear that?"
Seeing that Zhao Ping was silent, the fourth aunt pushed him, looking very anxious.
Their family is already living a very difficult life. If Zhao Ping gets involved again and pays 50% more tax, they may starve to death.
So the fourth aunt added sternly: "Boy from the Zhao family, I have been following you for this period of time. If I find you selling medicinal materials privately, I will report you to the county government."
"No, it won't."
Only then did Zhao Ping react, and he shook his head with a hurried smile, "Although I, Zhao Ping, am not a big deal, I will never do anything to harm my fellow villagers."
"Fourth Aunt, you have a bright future. Can I ask you how to sell medicinal materials?"
"It needs to be official."
"Where did the official document come from?"
"There is a medical officer in the county. As long as he gives approval, you can sell medicinal materials."
The fourth aunt really understands this matter, "But the price has been kept very low. I dug the medicinal materials for three days and still can't get two copper coins."
"We also have to classify the medicinal materials, dry them, etc. It's very troublesome anyway."
"Boy from the Zhao family, you'd better go with me to dig for wild vegetables. I know where there are more wild vegetables."
"No."
Zhao Ping waved his hand, picked up the rattan basket and left.
"Need not?"
The fourth aunt frowned, "Is it possible that this boy from the Zhao family hasn't given up yet? He still wants to dig up medicinal materials and sell them?"
"No, I have to follow him."
"Once you find him digging for medicinal materials, stop him immediately to avoid being implicated by him."
The fourth aunt kept an eye out and followed Zhao Ping quietly.
Zhao Ping didn't care either.
He is a young man of the 21st century and a law-abiding citizen.
Even if you travel to a feudal society, you still have your own bottom line and will not make fun of the happiness of the whole village.
Of course, this doesn't stop him from looking for medicinal materials.
Mark it down first, get the paperwork later, and then poach it away.
As he went deeper, Zhao Ping became more and more excited.
Because the private sale of medicinal materials is prohibited, this mountain forest almost remains in its original state.
Not only were there common medicinal materials, but Zhao Ping also saw a lot of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.
And it’s very old.
Especially ginseng, Zhao Ping saw ginseng that was hundreds of years old.
If this were done now, he would immediately become rich.
When his fourth aunt wasn't paying attention, Zhao Ping dug up some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum and hid them among the wild vegetables.
Even if you can't sell it, you can keep it to make tea, cook porridge, etc., and you can keep fit and prolong your life.
Zhao Ping stopped after half the rattan basket was made.
However, he was not idle, but used a sickle to cut the small bushes on the side.
Take the skin and twist it into rope.
Tie a slipknot.
The other end is tied to a branch.
A simple version of the rabbit bundle is ready.
Plug it into the ground, and as long as the rabbit stumbles on the rope, it will drive the slip knot, making it tighter and tighter the more it struggles.
After doing ten in a row, Zhao Ping got up and looked for the rabbit hole.
He had already discovered several places when digging wild vegetables, so he found them easily.
Rabbit holes generally have two exits.
Zhao Ping nailed the rabbit bundle outside the entrance of one hole, then found some hay and set fire to the entrance of another hole.
Within five minutes, the rabbit was smoked out.
Just as he exited the cave, he tripped on the rope.
Being restrained by the rabbit harness, I jumped many times and was unable to break free.
Zhao Ping hurriedly put out the fire, ran over, picked up a sickle, knocked the rabbit to death, and threw it into the rattan basket.
This scene made the fourth aunt who was peeking from a distance stunned.
When did the Zhao boy learn to hunt?
But this is good, as it saves him digging for medicinal materials to sell.
The fourth aunt was relieved, no longer paying attention to Zhao Ping, and continued to dig wild vegetables.
Zhao Ping followed the same pattern and caught four rabbits in a row. The sky was already darkening.
Hearing that wild beasts would appear on the mountain at night, Zhao Ping did not dare to stay and went down the mountain with a rattan basket on his back.
Along the way, he nailed the rabbit bundle to the path with dense grass.
When I was almost at the bottom of the mountain, I met my fourth aunt.
Seeing Zhao Ping carrying four hares on his back, the fourth aunt's mouth turned into an O shape in shock.
No words came out for a long time.
"Fourth Aunt, this rabbit is for you."
Zhao Ping took out a hare from the rattan basket and handed it to his fourth aunt.
"Give me?"
The fourth aunt was even more surprised.
I want it, but I also know that there will be no reward for no reward.
After swallowing, the fourth aunt refused and said, "Boy from the Zhao family, I didn't help you hunt, so how can I accept your rabbit?"
"Besides, in order to take care of you, your wife didn't dig wild vegetables during this period. Just put two leaves in the wild vegetable porridge. It's like a clear soup with little water. It has no nutrition at all. You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you'd better keep it for yourself. .”
"Why didn't you help me?"
Zhao Ping said seriously: "If you hadn't reminded me that the medicinal materials cannot be sold, I might have committed the serious crime of beheading."
"You can say that you saved my life."
"Hurry up and take it. Consider it my thanks."
Zhao Ping forced the rabbit to his fourth aunt.
The fourth aunt smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "Zhao boy, you should go to the county town tomorrow to sell rabbits, right?"
"I asked my boss to accompany you. He is familiar with the traders and can give you a good price."
"Thank you, Aunt Four, then."
Zhao Ping was not polite either.
He is indeed going to the county town tomorrow, but instead of selling rabbits, he wants to find out how to get official documents for selling medicinal materials.
The original owner only knew how to go to gambling houses and wine shops, and was not familiar with the county at all.
Having an acquaintance to lead the way can save a lot of time.
The two talked and laughed all the way, and soon returned to Xiping Village.
As soon as Zhao Ping entered the house, he saw that his wife Liu Mengru and daughter Zhao Xiaoxiao had already placed the bowls and chopsticks on the square table in the main room.
It's still a clear soup with little water.
But the two of them looked quite serious.
But when they saw the wild vegetables and prey in Zhao Ping's rattan basket, both of them had surprised looks on their faces.
Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn't help it first, and asked with sips of saliva, "Mom, my dad not only dug wild vegetables, but also hunted rabbits. Has he really gotten better?"
"What do we do now?"
"Are you still drinking porridge and returning to the west?"
