The Wizard of Medicine

Chapter 7 The Joy of Mutual Aid
Yan Zixiu turned his head and asked his mother, "Mom, what's going on at home recently?"

My mother said: "The corn stalks in the field have to be beaten and pulled home, and the manure in the cesspit has to be pulled out to the field."

The stalks of corn must be cut down by the roots, otherwise the roots under the soil will affect the sowing of next crops such as wheat.The cut roots contain a lot of wet soil, and they are usually laid flat to dry for a period of time to dry the soil lumps, and then smashed one by one, and finally tied up and taken home.

The work in the countryside is very romantic for those who do not work. The sunset, the old cow, and the smoke from the kitchen are like a painting.

Only those who have done it know that it is bitter and tiring.

These tasks at home used to be done by the four brothers and sisters, who were at home and who helped, but now those who are married are married, those who are working, and the contracted land is still so much.So a lot of work falls on the mother alone, even if she asks for help, she has to bear a large part.

Once the mother said to Zixiu with emotion, when can I get rid of agricultural work.There was too much helplessness and exhaustion in the tone.

After thinking about it, Yan Zixiu came up with an idea, and said to everyone: "Young and old, let's exchange jobs. Those who help threshing corn today will each borrow a machine for free for four days. In fact, for three days, each person has one machine." The machine can remove all the corn in your own home.

"There are more people than machines on site. If you can't help today, don't be in a hurry. Those who are willing to help smash corn stalks, pull corn stalks, and help excrete manure will be borrowed for free for ten days for one day's labor. Within ten days, you use If it is not finished, it can be lent or rented to others. The rent is tentatively set at one yuan per machine per day."

Many people in rural areas know how to do mental arithmetic. After thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that it was very suitable.

Some said to help threshing, some said to help pull manure, and some said to help pimples and pull corn stalks.

Yan Zixiu said to his uncle: "Uncle, please take care of this matter. If the machine is free, you can lend it or rent it out at your own discretion. You will collect the rent first, and then you can give half of it to my mother."

The uncle smiled and said: "Me, me." So, everyone happily started to help.

Mother asked: "Zixiu, have you had breakfast yet? There is some food left for you."

"I ate two biscuits, and a bowl of sweet soup is enough." In the morning, the countryside usually stirs white noodle soup. Although there is no sugar, it is customary to say sweet soup.

Yan Zixiu came to the kitchen with his mother and said while serving noodle soup, "I sold 456 yuan at the market this time, and I will keep it for the family."

"How much money? You don't need to keep so much at home. You can keep half of it."

Yan Zixiu is now a household with ten thousand yuan, and his mentality is different: "I don't need it. Don't worry, the money will be more and more. If you are a distant relative or a neighbor, if someone is in trouble and asks for help, you also have a little money to help. The remaining carrots and Sweet potatoes, if sold at the market price, can be sold for several thousand yuan."

At this moment the uncle came over: "Zixiu, everything has been arranged. By the way, if someone buys a threshing machine, how do you tell them?"

"The market price of this kind of machine is 30. In autumn, it is about [-] days. If you rent it out for one yuan a day, in two autumns, the capital will be returned, and you will make a net profit in the future. Maybe someone will buy it. Of course, you can't let uncle for nothing. Busy work, I will leave you ten yuan for each machine. I will do the same when I buy machines in the future. It is the farm work at home, so I need your help so that my mother won’t be tired."

My uncle is a famous iron abacus, so I did a quick mental calculation. If these 200 units were sold, the bonus would be [-] yuan.He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "Don't worry, I will take care of your housework."

Rural rice, 03:30.That is, lunch in rural areas is usually eaten after three o'clock in the afternoon.

Before noon, all the corn cobs in the Yan family had been threshed.The helpers put the corn in the hoard, cleaned up the yard, and happily carried the thresher back to each house.

Mother looked at the clean yard with a relaxed expression.

Yan Zixiu was also very happy and said, "Mother, let me cook for lunch."

"Okay, today I'm going to have a flirt." (Flirting means stretching out your clothes and opening your mouth for food, enjoying the blessing.)
After a while, Yan Zixiu made noodles, and of course he also mixed carrots in cold sauce, and Xiangjizhai's seasoning liquid must have been added as well.

The couple finished their meal deliciously, Yan Zixiu said: "Mother, I want to go and rest for a while." In fact, he wanted to go to the Immortal Mansion to have a look.

Mother said: "OK."

As soon as the words fell, there was only a roar of the car motor, and it stopped outside the yard.Uncle Wu's voice came from outside: "Excuse me, is this Yan Zixiu's home?"

Uncle's voice: "Yes."

Uncle Wu?Yan Zixiu went out to welcome him, only to see a Jiefang car parked outside.This is the most common type of truck at this time, with people in the front and goods in the back.

Uncle Wu was carrying a black bag, and four strangers were standing beside him, talking to him, while several children from the village gathered around the car to watch the fun.

"Uncle Wu, why are you here?" Yan Zixiu went up to greet the visitors, shaking hands with the visitors.

"Haha, it's not because of your high-tech agricultural products. I went home and distilled sweet potatoes, mixed carrots, and tasted it. It was really delicious. I didn't finish my breakfast, so I invited these friends to my house Taste." Uncle Wu pointed behind him, "Everyone agrees to come to you. How much is left in your family, we will pay the market price." The four nodded, their attitudes were very respectful.

Yan Zixiu nodded to everyone: "Welcome, welcome, please sit at home."

Everyone enters the hospital.Yan Zixiu introduced: "Uncle Wu, this is my mother Cifeng, and this is my uncle Ciming. Mother, uncle, this is Wu Daguang, Uncle Wu, from Lao Wanji."

"Sister Ci, brother Ci, hello."

"Brother Wu (Big Brother Ang), hello."

Yan Zixiu moved some benches and asked everyone to sit in the yard.Pour tea for everyone.The so-called tea is actually boiled water.But that's how it's called in the countryside.

"There are still a few thousand catties of food, how many of you can finish it? And drive a car?"

Uncle Wu pointed to a middle-aged fat man: "He runs a restaurant and uses a lot."

He also pointed to a man with back hair: "This is the director of the old Wanji Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and they need a lot."

"No wonder. Then I'll borrow a large scale." Yan Zixiu said as he wanted to get up.

"No, we brought the scales."

"You guys are so thoughtful."

Uncle Wu said to him: "Let's talk, let the others go to the scale." The others stood up in response.

Yan Zixiu said to his uncle, "Uncle, please help me."

The uncle nodded: "You guys talk."

At the small dining table, only Uncle Wu and Yan Zixiu were left.Uncle Wu asked very casually: "Zixiu, I see that you are very organized in your conversation and handling of things. Your temperament is also different, it seems to be a little different than in the morning. Are you going to school or where do you work?"

Yan Zixiu admired Uncle Wu's observation ability: "Uncle Wu is too famous, I work in Liyuan Township."

"Liyuan Township, I know. It's a poor town."

"Yes, it's difficult in every way."

"It's not Sunday, why didn't you go to work?"

Yan Zixiu felt that Uncle Wu spoke directly enough: "I asked for three days of sick leave."

"Sick leave? You don't seem to be sick." Uncle Wu looked at Yan Zixiu's face with some doubts.

"That's right. I originally took three days of sick leave from yesterday, but I met a brilliant Chinese medicine doctor yesterday morning, and I feel better. I came back yesterday afternoon to reassure my mother. I plan to go back one day early tomorrow morning. Go to work. Uncle Wu, I'm telling the truth, if I want to lie to you, you don't know if I'm asking for personal leave, right?" Yan Zixiu patiently explained.

"I believe in you, and I'm glad that you met such an expert. I knew from seeing your performance in the episode that you are a kind person, and you will never deceive others to harm others and benefit yourself. I understood when I said it. By the way, can I ask what is going on with your high-tech agricultural products?"

"This is a bioregulator developed by the teacher who taught me the agronomy major. When used on fruits and vegetables, it can greatly improve the color and aroma of fruits and vegetables." Yan Zixiu raised the banner of Master again, saying that there must be top-level agriculture in the Immortal Mansion.

"Is it difficult to develop? Can it be mass-produced?"

"The difficulty is not so high." Yan Zixiu thought to himself, can it be not too high?What is the level of Xianfu?As for mass production, at present, the amount of one bottle is limited, although it can be seasoned to a million catties, it is limited, use a little less.

He thought for a while and said, "If we can find a partner, mass production is still possible."

Uncle Wu clapped his hands together: "That's great. Zixiu, to tell you the truth, I am the administrative commissioner of our district."

Yan Zixiu stood up suddenly: "Administrative Commissioner?!" This is a leader who is many levels higher than himself.

Uncle Wu pressed his hands: "Sit down, sit down. I treat you as an equal friend, and you don't care about those levels."

Yan Zixiu's xinxing cultivation helped, and he soon relaxed: "Yes, you are still a kind Uncle Wu."
