After dinner in the afternoon, Xiao Han continued to work in the fields. Xiao Ming took out the medicinal materials that had been processed in the space and put them in categories. There were not many types of Chinese medicine in the space, and only a small part of the hundreds of medicine cabinets were placed. Look. I have to go to Guangjitang to purchase a batch of medicine and come back.
Now that the weeds in front of the door have been taken care of, you can see the wooden bridge by the river at a glance. There is a stone road connecting the wooden bridge and Xiao's house. From a distance, you can see a car approaching immediately. The driver is Kong. Lin's attendant Kong Shuangxi.
"Xiao Mingming, I miss my brother so much. You came here specially to greet me, right?" Kong Lin became familiar with Xiao Ming after the last contact, and even joked with Xiao Ming, which showed that he was in a good mood. As he spoke, he opened his arms and wanted to give Xiao Ming a hug.
"Stop it, who is your little Mingming?" Xiao Ming hurriedly pushed him back with the weighing pole, and said clearly: "You are not missing me, you are missing the vegetables in my field."
"My conscience, I miss you so much. You don't know that one day without seeing you is like three autumns. Now we haven't seen each other for almost three months, so how many more autumns will it take?" Kong Lin said aggrievedly.
"Speaking of people, I'm very busy," Xiao Ming interrupted him.
"Hey, look, I came to your place as soon as I came back. I just missed you." Kong Lin firmly refused to admit that he came here for those dishes. "I originally planned to come back before your housewarming party, but unfortunately I hurriedly hurried and still couldn't catch up. I brought you gifts from the capital, including new beads and flowers from Zhenbaozhai, and many small toys from the capital. It’s for Xiao Yu to play with.”
"Well, thank you for thinking about me." Xiao Ming ignored him and continued to do his own thing without raising his head, too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Look, I've used up the vegetables I bought last time. How about I buy another cart this time and go." Seeing that Xiao Ming ignored him, Kong Lin had to shamelessly explain his purpose. Since the last time he bought a cart of vegetables, he rushed back to the capital overnight. However, the taste of the food in a few days completely conquered the delicious food people in the capital. Unfortunately, the cart of vegetables ran out in less than five days. . But in those five days, the store's business was more than twice as good as usual. It can be described as hot, and the warehouse was full of orders every day.
The food was gone, and people came every day to ask when it would be available. They were all high-ranking officials who could not afford to offend Kong Lin. Kong Lin wrote three times to urge Xiao Ming. Unfortunately, the Xiao family was repairing their house, and they only provided food once. , there is no more supply.
Kong Lin had no choice but to rush back all the way and come to the door in person.
"It's not that we don't want to give it to you. You see, we are repairing the house and have almost enough food. There is nothing left." Xiao Ming said.
"Hurry up and plant more. I opened a restaurant in Pingcheng. I will need more vegetables in the future, and your land cannot supply them." Kong Lin said anxiously. I know that the Xiao family doesn't have it and can't. In the end, I shamelessly went to Xiao Ming's vegetable field and picked half a cart.
"Is there any chrysanthemum tea left? Take it out. I bought it all." The chrysanthemum tea he bought last time was in the grocery store. It cost twenty taels of silver a bag. The supply exceeded his expectations, which was far beyond his expectation.
"There's not much left. I'll get it later." Xiao Ming asked Kong Lin to sit and wait. She went into the inner courtyard and pretended to get tea. She grew the tea herself, and there were plenty of them, but Xiao Ming Only fifty bags were taken out.
"I see that the fruit trees at your house have all produced fruit. They mature earlier than those outside. Keep them all for me. I will take them all away next time." Kong Lin looked at a few apples and apples next to Xiao Ming's thatched house. Each pear tree is covered with fruits that are about to ripen. I feel envious because the fruits outside are just blooming now, but the ones at her house are almost ripe.
These fruits taste good and ripen early. When they are shipped back to the capital and sold, they can make a fortune.
Kong Lin sat for a while, told Xiao Ming and the others many interesting things and experiences about the capital, and finally left.
Before leaving, Kong Lin said to Xiao Ming: "I almost forgot. My brother-in-law asked me to send you a message, asking you to take Brother Han and Brother Yu to the town to find him tomorrow. He said he wanted to see you if he had something to do. ." After saying that, he got on the carriage and left.
"Girl Ming, these are the money from selling tea, so much." Mrs. Song looked at the one hundred taels of silver notes and a few taels of silver, and couldn't recover for a long time. She didn't expect that a few bags of chrysanthemum tea were actually sold. One hundred taels of silver, and those vegetables. A basket of the vegetables she had grown in previous years only sold for more than a dozen cents.
"Yes, Aunt Song, the chrysanthemum tea is twenty taels of silver a bag." Xiao Han said happily.
"So valuable." Mrs. Song was shocked. She drank this every day and didn't know how much money she spent.
"Not only that, there are also vegetables that cost fifty cents per catty, and fruits that cost one tael of silver per catty." Xiao Han told her all these secrets out of trust and respect for the Song family.
"Ah!" Ms. Song was in disbelief. She didn't react for a long time and suddenly said, "Don't talk nonsense about this, you know." She knew that there were some unclean people in the village who always wanted to take advantage. If I don’t know how much trouble there will be if this matter comes out.
"No, I have to go look in the fields." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Xiao Han was left with a question on his face: "Sister, why can't you tell me about this?"
Xiao Ming rolled her eyes at her silly brother: "You are stupid. If this matter spreads out and everyone knows that these things can be sold for money, what will happen if someone comes to steal them? There is no fence in our land, how can we prevent it?"
"Yeah? Then what should we do." Xiao Han suddenly understood. When building a house, bricks costing only a few pennies a piece were stolen, let alone chrysanthemums costing twenty taels a bag now.
"How about we build a wall so no one comes to steal it."
"Building walls can only guard against gentlemen, but not villains. Let's talk about it later. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will flood. At least no one knows it now." Xiao Ming said, she didn't have any good ideas, and there was no writing on the thief's face. , she didn’t know who would steal it, and people in ancient times couldn’t give them ideological education. They were all from the same village, let alone report to the official.
"If this is true, lock the iron door every night from now on." Xiao Han said, and then asked: "Sister, is there anything wrong with Dr. Min asking us all to go to town tomorrow?"
"I don't know about this, but there must be something going on." Xiao Ming had a vague guess, but he wasn't sure.
"By the way, where did Xiao Yu and the others go?" Xiao Yu disappeared in the afternoon, and Maomao also disappeared. He didn't know where he went to play.
"He, Xiao An and Tiezhu are here. They ran to the river to play. They said they were going to hook fish." Xiao Han said. He arranged for Xiao Yu to write big characters and memorize an article every day. After completing it, he would no longer Leave him alone and let him finish it off. Don't worry if Maomao follows him.
"Hooked fish?" Xiao Ming was surprised. She knew there were fish in the river, but few people in the village ate fish. They were reluctant to use oil for cooking, and the fish they cooked had an unpleasant fishy smell.
Xiao Ming liked to eat fish in her previous life, but when she got here she only ate it on the day of the moving banquet. It was deep-fried until it was golden and crispy, fragrant and delicious.
But Xiao Han's craftsmanship is mediocre, so how can he dare to cook fish?
"Yes, it was Xiao Anzi who brought the fishing pole." Xiao Han said, looking at the gifts sent by Kong Lin casually. Except for Xiao Yu's toys and sister's pearl flowers, all the rest that were not needed were put into the warehouse.
