Chapter 198 Do You Really Want to Say It?
"Okay, just consider it a favor."
Chen An had no objection. Instead, he felt that Cheng Yue was thoughtful. They now had something to do and could make money. It was impossible for them to just give up their work and run around the mountains digging for medicinal herbs.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning are very enthusiastic and can go if they want to, but it is unlikely that they will go.
Those medicinal herbs are growing anyway, and they will all wither when winter comes. It would be better to talk to the villagers and let us all make some money together.
It doesn't make sense to watch the medicinal herbs go to waste without telling the villagers.
Cheng Yue thought for a while and said, "Then I will go to the mountain tomorrow to dig up some medicinal herbs before going to the village head's house. Otherwise, everyone won't know what they look like and might not be able to find the right one."
Chen An said ashamedly: "I can't help you with this matter. I can only trouble you."
Cheng Yue scolded, "How can I not help? Aren't you making furniture? The tables, chairs and benches for the new house are all dependent on you!"
There are blueprints for the new house, and Chen An also has a copy of the dimensions. Making furniture will take a long time, but work has already begun.
Anyway, making furniture does not interfere with taking apprentices, and it can also give them practice. Several children have already made several small stools, and they can make chairs as their skills improve.
Chen An's face turned red and he didn't know what to say. He thought that Ah Yue's words were becoming sweeter and sweeter. Whatever she said could make his heart feel hot.
"Uncle Chen An, we are all here!"
Zhuzi outside the door shouted, and Chen An immediately came back to his senses, "Okay!"
After answering, he got up and ran out.
Cheng Yue was puzzled. If someone didn’t know, they would think the stool burned her butt.
All that needed to be said had been said and everyone had left, so there was no need for her to sit still. She made some more pastries while she had some time in the afternoon.
The next day, when the sun was rising, Cheng Yue took Chen Tong and Chen Ning to the mountain to collect herbs.
The medicinal properties of medicinal herbs are related to the season in which they are picked. Although there are many medicinal herbs on the mountain, not many can be picked in the summer.
According to what was written in the book, Cheng Yue and her friends found Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Artemisia selengensis and Leonurus japonicus in addition to wolfberry.
The branches and leaves of Anemarrhena asphodeloides are slender, a bit like leeks, and the flowers bloom in a string of purple rice-like shapes, which are relatively easy to find.
Mugwort is even more common and is considered to be the most familiar medicinal material to many people. It is mainly used to dispel cold and dampness, and most people have used it.
It’s just that most people buy moxa sticks for moxibustion, and rarely see the original form of mugwort.
Mugwort is also easy to identify. Its leaves are palm-shaped and serrated. The most obvious feature is that the back of the leaves is silvery white.
Motherwort is a gynecological medicine. Its branches are straight and its leaves are like a trident. The leaves grow upwards layer by layer, and flowers bloom at the base of the leaves, which are also small purple flowers.
Cheng Yue and her friends searched for herbs. On the way home, Chen Tong suddenly said, "Mom, I discovered a secret. Many of these herbs have small purple flowers. The ground ring was like this before, and so were the Anemarrhena and Leonurus!"
Cheng Yue nodded and praised: "Xiaotong is very careful in observation! There are indeed many medicinal herbs with purple flowers. In addition to these, there are also Viola yedoensis and Thistle.
I don’t know the rest, we’ll know after we finish reading the herbal book!”
Chen Tong nodded with a smile, "Yeah! There must be a lot more!"
Chen Ning expressed: "I want to study hard too!"
If her sister hadn’t pointed it out to her just now, she wouldn’t have noticed it. It must be because she didn’t read enough books and didn’t study seriously enough!
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Xiao Ning is already very good. She found the herbs faster than my sister and I did just now!"
Chen Ning smiled shyly when she heard the compliment and became even more determined to study hard.
The mother, her two daughters, chatted and laughed, then went down the mountain and went straight to the headman's house.
The village head had just come back from a walk in the fields and ran into Cheng Yue and her friends at the gate. Seeing them carrying a basket, he thought they were bringing food and said hurriedly, "We don't need anything at home, don't bring us food!"
Cheng Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pushed the basket forward and said, "Uncle Lizheng, these are not food, they are medicinal herbs!"
"Medicinal herbs?" The village head was puzzled. Why were they sending medicinal herbs? Looking again, weren't these just weeds?
Feng was cutting leaves to feed the chickens in the yard. She heard the noise and came out and said, "Old man, if you have anything to say, come in and say it. Why are you blocking people outside?"
After saying that, the head of the village called out to Cheng Yue and the others, "Come on, two good girls, follow your mother in!"
Chen Tong and Chen Ning happily called her grandma. Feng was more like their real grandma than Zhao.
The head of the village was furious and called Cheng Yue to come into the yard.
After sitting down, Cheng Yue said directly: "Uncle Lizheng, Aunt Feng, these are all medicinal herbs. I asked the pharmacy and they can all be sold.
I thought about telling the villagers about this, and everyone should go to the mountains when they have time, and earn as much as they can."
The head of the village and Feng looked at each other, almost unable to react, and asked in surprise: "These are actually medicinal herbs? Cheng Yue girl, you know medicinal herbs?"
They have lived in the mountains for decades and don’t know that these are medicinal herbs. They usually cut them and feed them to pigs…
Not only them, most of the villagers have never left the mountains in their lives. They don't even know what medicinal herbs are, and even if they see them, they treat them as weeds.
Cheng Yue said casually: "Before I got married, I found a medical book at home. I memorized it after reading a few pages, but I have been busy every day for so many years and forgot about it.
Just a few days ago, these two girls cut some red fruit trees to feed the pigs and cows. I thought they looked familiar, so I remembered them. "
The head of the village and Mrs. Feng believed it without a doubt. It was normal for a student to have some books at home. They never expected that Cheng Yue was not only good at business, but also knew about medicinal herbs!
Indeed, reading is good! Reading more really broadens your horizons.
Moreover, the more I look at it now, the more right it is to divide this family. If it weren't for the division, how could Cheng Yue display her abilities?
If he hadn't been suppressed by the Zhao family for so many years, he would have become rich long ago. Why would he have to wait until now? And suffer for so many years?
The village head thought about what Cheng Yue had just said and said uncertainly, "This is a profitable business. Are you really going to tell the villagers?"
Cheng Yue nodded and told him what she was thinking, "Uncle Lizheng, we all have other things to do, so we can't spend time collecting herbs.
Since we can't make this money, let everyone else make it. Otherwise, the medicinal herbs will just grow there and become a dead grass if no one picks them.
Besides, I also want our village to be better, so that everyone has something to do and can make money, and they don’t have time to think about other things. With less work, the relationships can be more harmonious.”
Just like in Wangshan Village, everyone is rich, has no worries about food and clothing, and naturally has harmonious relationships.
She has other plans for the future, but not now. So while there is time, everyone should make as much money as possible!
The head of the village was moved, happy and excited when he heard this. Cheng Yue made money, but he didn't forget the villagers. He always thought about everyone and the village. He taught them whenever he preached, which was a righteous thing!
You have to know that knowing herbs is a skill. After all, medicinal herbs are available every year, which means that as long as you are not lazy, you can have a full meal!
"I'll call the whole village right now!"
The head of the village became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He felt that their Houshui Village was about to prosper, as if they would soon be able to get rid of the title of the poorest village in the county!
