How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 50 It’s hard to pick a hornet’s nest
"Sister-in-law, you can try one of my home remedies. Your sister-in-law was just like you at the time, and she quietly let go of her foot. The bones inside had to be stretched open, and the congestion had to be cut open, and it became extremely swollen. I'd better buy a few of them myself. Root Panax notoginseng, grind it into powder for her, hatch it directly for her, and her feet will be fine."

Wang Yingying, who was sitting next to her, also spoke at this moment: "Brothers and sisters, your eldest brother is right."

"After you put your feet down, you still have to wait for a while to have a good rest at home. People with big feet often get blisters when climbing mountains, let alone us. Just trust us for once. Get Panax notoginseng powder Soak your feet in hot water, and then apply it with Panax notoginseng powder. The effect of Panax notoginseng in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is particularly good. Try it once in the next few days and see!"

After saying that, Wang Yingying looked at her husband Chen Yixing and said, "Master, I remember you mentioned to me some time ago that you seemed to have seen Panax notoginseng on the mountain, right?"

After hearing this, Chen Yixing thought to himself, Wife, what you said is a bit redundant.

Where is Sanqi on their side?
You still have to buy it!

So, under Chen Yixuan's probing gaze, Chen Yixing shook his head. "Daughter-in-law, you must have remembered it wrong."

"Panax Panax notoginseng is also called Panax notoginseng. It is only found in the southwest. Many farmers there have been planting Panax notoginseng in large quantities for a long time. It should be very cheap to buy it at the county pharmacy now. Buy a few roots and grind them at home. Pink, it only costs two to three hundred cash."

When she heard that she only needed to spend so much money to relieve swelling and pain in her feet, Chen Feiyan looked at Chen Yixuan and said, "Daddy, it's really hard for our family to make money now."

"It will take you a whole morning to walk from here to the county seat. If you carry me there, you won't be able to walk fast at all. I think we will get there at night. We can only see the doctor during the day the next day. This trip will be delayed. Three days of work. It’s not worth it.”

"How about we listen to your brother for now and go to the county town to buy a Panax notoginseng and give it a try?"

When Chen Yixuan saw that Chen Feiyan was really reluctant to spend money, he hesitated for a while before saying yes.

He washed away the little bit of pus on Chen Feiyan's instep, wrapped it in a cloth moistened with hot water, massaged her carefully, and straightened her instep as much as possible.

Chen Feiyan was lying there in the warmth, drowsy.Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, the swelling in her feet miraculously subsided and she was able to walk again.

Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying were very happy to see that their family could save another unnecessary expense.

Chen Yixing even proposed to Chen Yixuan: "Brother, let's go to the mountain quickly and pick the hornet's nest?"

"I noticed last time that someone in the village is also thinking about this matter. If someone else picks the hornet's nest, we will lose two to three hundred coins!"

Even a penny in the countryside is seized by the poor.I wish I could break a penny into a hundred and spend it.

An income of two to three hundred yuan a day is something that many people have only seen in their dreams.

Chen Yixuan also knew the importance of the matter. He thought that his daughter-in-law was not in good health and the children were not well-nourished. In a few years, his sons would all have wives, and the family would have to build new thatch for his son and his eldest brother. House,...everything costs a lot of money.So, after he packed his things, he went out with his three grown sons and Chen Yixing and his son.

As soon as they left, the women and children in the house began to feed the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs raised at home.

After feeding, Wang Yingying sat by the stove and carefully mended the cloth in her hand.

"Brothers and sisters, do you think we should build a house for these animals after the summer harvest?"

Chen Feiyan shook her head: "No need. Let's live like this for now. Let's talk about it later when we have money!"

It's really not that she insists on living a miserable life.In fact, he is a poor man who cannot guarantee food and clothing, and he has no qualifications to be particular.

People eat for food.

Eating to fill your stomach is the biggest thing.

The family doesn't have enough to eat, and they still want to build a house for the animals they feed. They have too much money, right?Chen Feiyan sat next to Wang Yingying and carefully used stitches to sew two pieces of rags of different colors together.

She wanted to make a pair of socks for Chen Yixuan.

Running in the fields, mountains, and rivers every day, his feet have developed a thick layer of calluses.

She also noticed yesterday that one of his hands still had frostbite.

Chen Feiyan and Wang Yingying were doing needlework at home. The fourth and fifth oldest children in her family, as well as her daughter, had eaten a full meal in the morning because they were young, and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

As for Chen Yixuan and his party of six, they have already reached the top of the hornet's nest.

Seeing that there were piles of shiitake mushrooms and several other edible mushrooms, they began to pick them carefully.

Soon, their baskets were filled with mushrooms.

"Brother, this basket on my back weighs at least 20 kilograms!"

Chen Yixuan picked up his own basket, weighed it, nodded and said, "My basket is about the same."

Chen Yixing patted his chest: "Brother, it's getting late, shall we go back first?"

"Let's send the mushrooms home first and come back tomorrow. What do you think?"

It's not easy to pick a hornet's nest.Every time after a hornet's nest, Chen Yixuan's hand would be swollen for a long time where it was stung by a bee.

This time the bee is a hornet, although it is a type of wasp.However, hornet wasps are larger, more ferocious, and more venomous.

If the sting is severe or if treatment is not received promptly, it may result in death.

Chen Yixuan saw that the hornets this time were too big and fierce, and he was not very sure that he could take them down without getting hurt.

Wanting to discuss it with his wife after returning home, Chen Yixuan nodded and took Chen Yixing and the others down the mountain to go home.

When I got home, it was getting late outside.After Chen Yixuan finished his evening cereal porridge, he told Chen Feiyan what happened today.

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she quickly said: "Dad, compared with money, your life and health are the most important!"

"Since the hornet is too ferocious and you have no confidence, then... let's forget about this matter?"

After Chen Feiyan finished speaking, she still thought to herself that if the family lost such an important labor force like him, the family would be in a lot of trouble.

And she herself had to kneel in the fields with her sons to farm as she had simulated several times before...

Chen Yixuan saw that Chen Feiyan didn't agree with him taking such a big risk. While he was picking up those beautiful mushrooms with her, he said to her with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, these mushrooms cost eight cents a pound, and we have to pay for it today." I’ve picked all the mushrooms on that mountain. It’s more than 30 kilograms in total, right?”

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she immediately started thinking.

"Why are there so many trees growing on that hilltop? Is the soil there particularly good?"

Chen Yixuan nodded: "There is a cemetery of the Zhao family. Mr. Yin and Yang said that the feng shui of the Zhao family tomb is very good."
