Chapter 8 Can You Do It Yourself?
Bai Ling once took the opportunity to check Bai Liu's pulse. The cold was the cause of her illness, but the main reason was the loss of Qi and blood during confinement. If she didn't get treatment in time, she would have collapsed completely.
But Sanfang didn't have any money, so the doctor prescribed some ordinary medicines, which naturally didn't have much effect.
If we can collect the medicines in Bazhen Tang by going to the mountains to collect medicines, and warm them up for a period of time, Bai Liu's body will recover.
It's just that the main ingredient in Bazhen Soup is ginseng, and it's not that easy to find it in the mountains.
There is a time difference in space, but there is no money to buy seeds. This is one of the reasons why Bai Ling is eager to make money.
"Take it." Bai Wei nodded, but the luster in her eyes quickly faded, "We don't know herbal medicine, and we can't make this money."
"I know a few of them, but they are all common." Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became a little brighter, "Let's fill our stomachs today, and tomorrow we will go for a walk into the mountains and pick some.
Exchange the herbal medicine for some money and buy some medicine and food for my mother."
There was no talking all night, and Bai Ling got up quietly when it was almost dawn. Seeing that the whole family was not up, he took a small shovel and entered the space.
The small fish I put in the space yesterday has grown to weigh several kilograms. I will find time to sell it later, which will also bring in a lot of money.
"I really envy you. You can drink Lingquan water and don't have to do anything." Bai Ling stretched and said bitterly: "It would be a waste not to use such a big space for work."
Bai Ling waved a small shovel, leveled the land, and then planted some common medicinal seeds and wild vegetable seeds collected at the foot of the mountain yesterday.
Fortunately, there were not many seeds, otherwise Bai Ling would have fainted from exhaustion.
After watering the seeds, Bai Ling washed her face and came out of the space. She found that the genius was slightly bright. She was very satisfied with the time difference. She was not afraid that she would not have time to be busy in the space in the future.
In order not to be suspected, after Bai Ling left the space, he only added a small amount of spiritual spring water to the bucket and began to prepare meals.
There was no food in the third room, so the so-called breakfast was just wild vegetables boiled with some salt.
After each of the sisters drank a bowl of wild vegetables, they carried baskets on their backs, a small sickle and a small hoe and walked towards the back mountain. They had no intention of telling their family that they were going into the mountain to collect herbs.
The two of them did not dare to go into the deep mountains. Along the way, Bai Ling had seen several kinds of medicinal herbs, but they were all worthless, so he only threw some seeds into the space without intending to collect them for sale.
Bai Ling took a deep breath, tightened his belt a little, and started working.
"It's really great that there is a large piece of it." Bai Ling looked at a piece of wild astragalus and ran over excitedly. While digging the soil, he explained to Bai Wei: "Second sister, you have to look for it. This kind of oval leaves.
It has white soft hair on its back and a small pointed end, so don’t dig it wrong.”
"Second sister, are these really herbs?" Seeing Bai Ling squatting down and carefully digging the soil with a small shovel, Bai Wei asked a little uneasily.
"Well, the rhizomes inside are herbs. Be careful not to break them when digging. The longest ones are more than one meter...more than three feet!" Bai Ling said, and his movements were not slow at all.
"How did you know?" Bai Wei asked suspiciously, and also found an astragalus plant, imitating Bai Ling and started digging for herbs.
Bai Ling paused for a moment. With her head lowered while working, she didn't have to hide her panic. She tried to use a normal tone and said: "When I was digging wild vegetables before, I saw others digging it."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" Bai Wei complained, and her hands moved a little faster.
"We didn't split up the family back then, and the money we made wasn't ours. Instead, we found more work for ourselves. I'm not stupid." Bai Ling replied, fearing that Bai Wei would ask further questions, so he said: "How many years have those been?
It happened before, but I forgot about it later. If you hadn’t told me yesterday that my mother’s medicine was gone, I wouldn’t have remembered it.”
Bai Ling knew the effects of astragalus and wanted to save some for his family.
Money is not as important as your body, not to mention that when digging for herbs, there will inevitably be some that don’t look good, so you don’t need to pay attention to their appearance for your own use.
After glaring at Bai Ling, Bai Wei muttered: "I really didn't realize that you are a little smart. I thought you were bullied by the people in the old house and you were fooled."
"Haha." Bai Ling laughed dryly and thought to himself: The original owner was bullied into a fool, otherwise he would have sacrificed his life for someone who had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Bai Wei was concentrating on digging for medicinal materials, Bai Ling also got some herbal seeds and threw them into the space. After finally getting into the mountain, he naturally wanted to create as much profit as possible.
That book didn't tell you how long the crops in space would grow, nor how long it would take to harvest them.
The two sisters worked hard and dug until the sun rose. Bai Ling was so tired that she could hardly stand up straight.
The two sisters occasionally chatted for a while, but their men's movements were not slow at all. By noon, they had dug most of the basket, and they were so tired that they could hardly lift their hands.
"Don't dig for now." Bai Ling grabbed Bai Wei, ignoring her glare at him, pointing to the basket and said: "While it's still early, I'll go to the town first to see how to sell fish.
Okay? You can dig some wild vegetables at home to cook, and boil mother's medicine."
"What? Can you go to town by yourself?" Bai Wei's eyes widened even more, thinking that she was hallucinating.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ling put the small hoe on his waist and squatted down to pick up the basket. "I stopped by the medicine store to ask. I heard that medicinal materials must be processed to be valuable."
"Okay, then go ahead." Bai Wei took a look at how many astragalus were nearby and thought about digging them again in the afternoon.
Bai Ling pretended to take a piece of astragalus root and a fish spearing tool, and pretended to spear fish, but in fact he went directly to the town.
Nanshan Village is under the jurisdiction of Wufu Town and is not far from the town, but Bai Ling was hungry and walked for more than half an hour before arriving.
According to the memory of the original owner, Bai Ling found an alley where few people walked, took out a bucket of fish from the space, and went straight to the vegetable market.
There is a special vegetable market in Wufu Town, which was specially set up by the mayor. You won't get caught by gangsters when you come here to sell things, but you have to pay a stall fee of three cents a day, which is more than what the gangsters get.
Those who come to the vegetable market to sell things are usually a little more expensive, or they are older girls or younger wives who are afraid of being bullied by gangsters, so they have to pay the three cents.
Bai Ling naturally chose to sell fish at the wet market, and the seller used a fish to offset today's stall fee.
"We are selling fish. Fat and big live fish. Each fish only costs ten cents. Buy the big one first, and you won't suffer a loss!" Bai Lingjian shouted loudly, attracting the attention of many people.
Bai Ling is not the only one selling fish in the entire vegetable market, and the prices are not high either.
Hearing Bai Ling's cries, many people gathered around and saw that the fish in the bucket was big and the price of ten coins per fish was moderate. There were many people talking about it, but no one was buying the fish.
"Girl, a fish as big as yours costs more than ten cents per catty. But the fish meat is not delicious and is very fishy. There are some people who spend two or three cents to buy a catty of small fish to make sauce. If you yell like this all day, I'm afraid
It can't be sold either." The young daughter-in-law at the stall next to her said kindly.
