Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 3 003-Grass, Medicinal, Copper Coins

When they got home, it was already dark. Zhang Yuqing came up to see Zhen Wu and Brother Zhenwu back and forth. Seeing that the corners of their mouths were cracked by the autumn wind, they let out a long and short sigh.

"I said mother, don't sigh, can you boil some hot water for us?" Zhen Wu put down the medicinal materials and said to Zhang Yuqing.

Only then did Zhang Yuqing come to his senses, and quickly called his second sister to boil water.

After the water boiled, Brother Zhen Wu washed up and went to bed. They stayed on the mountain for two days and one night, and they walked at least dozens of miles back and forth. They were really exhausted.

After waking up from sleep, it was already daylight. After Zhen Wu got up, he began to process Bupleuri, separating the roots and drying them separately. Some of the treatment methods were learned from the two apprentices of Doctor Hu.

The family members had been talking about the Bupleuri that Zhen Wu brought back for a long time last night, but they couldn't figure out the usefulness of these grasses, and they didn't know why it was worth Zhen Wu's effort to dig them home.

Seeing that Zhen Wu started to play with these things again this morning, curiosity arose again. The fourth and fifth sisters were unwilling to talk to Zhen Wu, so they turned around and entangled the third eldest Zhen Yong, and learned from Zhen Yong that Zhen Wu planned to use the When they were selling money, their mouths widened in surprise, and the fourth younger sister, who was always outspoken, couldn't help but say something.

"I'm afraid our elder brother is not a fool."

Fifth Sister immediately laughed in agreement.

Zhen Yong, who laughed, complained to Zhen Wu, which made him a little ashamed.

On the other hand, the second sister saw Zhen Wu busy and came over to help. Although she also felt that these grasses were useless, she still listened to Zhen Wu's guidance and did things meticulously.

Zhen Wu looked at the way his second sister was working, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, she is really a good girl, not only has work in her hands, but also looks fresh, and more importantly, she has a temperament like Zhang Yuqing, she is gentle and kind, she really deserves to follow the "virtuous and succinct" De'li takes the virtuous character as the name, and whoever marries it will really burn incense in the ancestral grave.

In comparison, the other sisters are hardly easy to get along with.

Even Sixth Sister, judging by her obsessive energy at this moment, will not be a fuel-efficient lamp in the future, and now she is already pestering Zhen Wu to play with her again, she can't help but roll around.

It's strange to say that this little girl is not good at being close to Zhen Wu, but she is not so close to Zhang Yuqing. I haven't seen her for a few days, so I think that little girl is not good at all.

Seeing this, Er Xian wanted to help Zhen Wu out of the siege, so he called Si Mei to take Xiao Liu to play.

The fourth younger sister was very unhappy, she opened her mouth and said, "Why don't you bring Xiao Liu to play, why should you ask me to?"

"I'm not busy."

The fourth younger sister snorted disdainfully: "Are you really busy with this serious business? Some people are stupid, and you are also stupid?"

Zhen Wu frowned when he heard this.

Erxian also frowned, and said angrily, "Is there anyone who talks like that?"

The fourth sister was not afraid of the second virtuous, so she went straight up: "What's wrong with me talking like this, if you please the boss, please please, don't push things on me, it seems like you can do it every day."

Zhen Wu couldn't stand listening to these words, and walked over directly.

Standing in front of the fourth sister with a height of 1.8 meters, she looked down at the fourth sister with a cold face, not angry but mighty.

In the past, the fourth younger sister dared to show off Zhen Wu's face, but now seeing Zhen Wu's angry face, she was inexplicably scared.

"Apologize to your second sister." Zhen Wu said coldly, his voice was firm and beyond doubt.

It was rare for everyone to see Zhen Wu like this, and they all fell silent for a while.

The fourth sister raised her head, wanting to be stubborn, but when her eyes met Zhen Wu's, she was instantly defeated, and she said the words of apology without even thinking about it.

But after saying it, I felt wronged again, so I cried with a wow.

Zhen Wu frowned irritably, this group of bastards, I really don't have to worry about it, I will have to find a way to smooth them out one by one in the future, and then said.

"The third child took the fourth child to cry in the house, and the fifth child took the sixth child to play."

When everyone was still stunned by the sudden scene, they heard Zhen Wu's words again.

"What? I can't speak well?"

Everyone moved quickly, and no one dared to expand the situation.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuqing, who was soft at the side, saw this scene and smiled secretly, the boss is the boss after all.

……

After all the bupleurum bupleurum at home is taken care of, Zhen Wu has time to come out of the house, and wants to go to other medical clinics to inquire about it. Isn’t it true that he can’t trust old man Hu? A businessman, trustworthy and further investigation are two different things. Of course, he mainly wants to learn more How much is Bupleurum in demand.

In the next few days, Zhen Wu basically went around the medical clinics in the city. The bigger ones basically looked down on Zhen Wu who digs medicine, unless the size increases, or they will not accept it or the price will be extremely low. , but the smaller ones are basically the more the better, and this thing is not afraid of being damaged after buying it.

After figuring this out, before the bupleurum at home was dried, Zhen Wu took the third child to the mountains for two more trips, and the house they got was full of grass and medicine.

Let a few little ones complain in private from time to time.

Zhen Wu didn't care either. With Zhang Yuqing's support, no one dared to challenge his position anyway, so he could completely suppress everyone with his physical strength at this time.

On this day, a lot of Bupleurum has basically been processed and can be sold.

Zhen Wu restrained himself, thought for a while, and took the third child to Old Man Hu's clinic.

After arriving at the medical center, Zhen Wu briefly talked with Hu's apprentice, and was led to the backyard. After finishing his work, Hu looked at the goods and asked Zhen Wu with a smile on his face.

"Digged at Fangshan? There's quite a lot."

Zhen Wu was startled: "You know?"

Old man Hu nodded.

"Then you still pay for it?"

"I don't make money by digging medicine, so why do I spend all that time, and how much can I dig? I can't make much money."

When Zhen Wu asked, he already knew that he was stupid. Seeing a doctor in a medical clinic is a craft, who would do this, only they who are miserable would do this, but he didn't agree with Old Man Hu that he couldn't make much money.

It’s true that one person can’t earn much money by digging, but what if there are many people?
He vaguely remembered that when he was a child in his last life, there were often medicinal collectors wandering around from village to village. At that time, the villagers would go to the mountains to dig medicine whenever they had free time, especially the half-children, who would dig all over the mountain.

At that time, the social scope of the people in the village was basically only a few miles away, and no one would think about selling it far away, and someone would come to collect it and earn a few pocket money, which would be enough for happiness.

Zhen Wu pondered, he could try to do this, but that's for later.

Old man Hu is weighing the weight here. Brother Zhen Wu and his brother got about a hundred catties from the mountain one after another.

There are only 93 catties left.

16 taels per catty, one tael and three Wen, a total of more than 4000 Wen.

The medical center has a lot of copper coins, and it doesn't use silver to settle the money. You don't need to count the big ones, they are all hung up. Zhen Wu also believes in old man Hu, so Zhen Wu directly asks the younger brother to count the fractions.

460 four Wen coins, the little brother who counted was blushing, and the sound of copper coins clattering seemed to be the most beautiful sound in the world.

And the third child, who had gone through the whole thing, just felt ecstatic at the moment, and couldn't believe that all this was real.

He could exchange so much money just by working with Zhen Wu for a few days.

One must know that when their mother went to someone else's house to help out with a day's work, it was only twenty yuan.

Not to mention more than 4000 Wen, just a fraction of 460 Wen is enough to feed the family for a long time.

In the end, the third child didn't know how to get out of the clinic, and stared blankly at the cloth pocket behind Zhen Wu.

A cloth pocket full of money, in the third child's cognition, this is a fantasy.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Zhen Wu suddenly asked while walking.

"What?" The third child couldn't react.

Zhen Wu smiled: "I'll take you to spend the money."

After all, he took the lead and walked towards the market.

The third child behind him felt that Zhen Wu's smile was golden and very attractive.
