70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 356

As soon as Xu Zhongjun arrived at the army in the morning, he told He Shulin about the situation and his plan to go up the mountain to sweep the mountain at night.

"Okay, I agree 100 times. We both have to go to work during the day. I have long wanted to go to the mountains at night. If nothing else, I haven't saved enough firewood for the winter. I'm worried! Otherwise, it will be difficult to go up the mountain when it snows after a while." He Shulin nodded and said.

He had thought of going up the mountain to cut firewood at night, but his wife stopped him because she was afraid of danger. Now that we all go together, his wife will definitely agree.

"That's good, then whoever we met with the chief in the morning, let's talk to them, and go up the mountain together at night!"

Recently, everyone has been very active in going up the mountain. If they are not free during the day, they say that it is getting cold and they will go to the mountain to cut firewood at night. No one will doubt it too much.

That is, after everyone reaches the col, they must light more torches and fire piles, hoping that no one will find out by then.

"I've already told them in the morning that you prepare all the things I need such as the panniers, machetes, bags, etc., and we'll go straight there when we come back from the army in the afternoon." Xu Zhongjun said when he came back for lunch.

"Then I'll make dinner early, and you'll have a bite to eat when you come back!" After training all afternoon, if you go up the mountain without eating, you will definitely be hungry.

"Then get me some pancakes, I can take them on the road to eat. When I came back just now, I saw a lot of people coming back from the mountain. It seemed that they were all going to sweep the mountain. We have to hurry up By the way, the small col has not been discovered!" Xu Zhongjun said while eating.

"Xiaobai didn't come back, probably not, but Xiaobai is so powerful, even if someone goes there, it will definitely be able to solve it."

Xie Xiaonian really believes in Xiaobai's ability, after all it is a spirit beast, and it has lived for so many years, even if it has been asleep for a while, ordinary people can't match it.

Not long after Xie Xiaonian's family had finished eating, several military wives whom Xie Xiaonian was not very familiar with came to the house.

"Sister-in-laws, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" These people are not from their 2nd regiment, Xie Xiaonian is not very familiar with them, that is, when they are playing in the compound, they will just say hello to each other.

"It's nothing, it's just that you've been with the army for so long, and we haven't come to sit at your house, so we just came to have a look." Zhang Lijia, the daughter-in-law of the first battalion commander of the 1st regiment, said with a smile.

"That's right, Xiao Nian, your house is really beautifully decorated and very warm." Another military wife who followed said complimentingly.

Xie Xiaonian has been with the army for almost 2 years, and these people have never come to see them, but when they came suddenly at this time, Xie Xiaonian could roughly guess the reason.

Seeing that they didn't talk, Xie Xiaonian was not in a hurry, led them into the house, after pouring water, followed their words, and chatted about the daily routine.

"Xiao Nian, it's different if your family has money. The sofa cushions are so soft, unlike mine. There are 7 children at once, and it's hard to eat enough. How can you care about these things!" Luo Li, the military wife who came together, complained. road.

Although her name is Luo Li, she is tall and thick, far from Lolita.

But her family's life is really ordinary. There are many children in the family, and her husband is only a deputy battalion commander. He has not been promoted yet, and everyone knows the hardships of life.

"Every family is not rich now. My family, the Zhongjun, often takes out some dangerous missions. The army will give some rewards. Now I have been promoted and my salary has been raised. In addition, the children are still young, so it is enough for the family's expenses. Yes, my family also gnaws steamed buns with mixed noodles every day, and then uses a lot of vegetables, wild vegetables, and pickles as rations!" Xie Xiaonian continued.

Since the other party was crying about being poor, Xie Xiaonian also cried about being poor, and what she said was very obvious, my family lives better than yours, it is my man who has the ability, if you think life is hard, go to your man, and tell me what you are suffering, I don't owe you anything!

"That's right, life is hard at this time, each family has its own way of suffering!" Seeing that Luo Li's words were full of sourness, Zhang Lijia quickly smoothed things over.

"Yes, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." Another military wife also hurriedly said, they are here to beg for help, so they can't offend people at this time!
Seeing that everyone couldn't talk about serious topics, and he was waiting to go home to see his children, He Hongxue, the most upright of the five who hadn't spoken, said directly: "Xiao Nian, I heard that every month you go to the mountains to collect herbs. Is it true that I can earn more than 5 yuan?"

"Different seasons are different, it depends on the amount of medicinal materials on the mountain." Xie Xiaonian did not admit it, but said euphemistically.

And her non-denial words made everyone feel that she had acquiesced.

"Then can you teach me?" Luo Li hurriedly answered, for fear of being preempted.

"That's right, teach us too, there are so many mountains here, you can't finish picking them anyway!"

"That's right, teach me too, teach me!"

Several military wives were chattering, but there was only one purpose, that is to let Xiao Nian teach them to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

"It's not impossible to teach you, but you don't know how to cook it. At most, you can dry it in the sun. By then, you may only earn eight cents after working for half a month."

It's nothing to teach them how to gather medicine, Xie Xiaonian also thought that someone would come to her to learn how to gather medicine, but she wanted to put the ugly words first, so that when they got it, they couldn't earn any money and came back to blame her, saying that she was hiding something!

"Then teach us how to cook!" Zhang Lijia eagerly said the same thing as Deputy Director Zhai.

"I can teach you simple drying and drying, but some need to be cut into thin slices, some need to be steamed, and some need to be baked. To study for a long time, you need a set of professional tools. In other words, the set of iron tools is not cheap, at least hundreds of dollars, and you may not be able to buy it. In addition If the quality of the medicinal materials processed in the end is not good, the supply and marketing cooperative will not accept it!"

When they heard that all the tools would cost a hundred and ten dollars, the few of them flinched a little. None of their families were wealthy, and they couldn't afford a hundred and ten dollars.

"Xiao Nian, why don't you teach us some simple ones first, let's try!"

It is indeed a bit expensive to buy tools, and it is not yet known whether he will earn money or not, so He Hongxue is going to learn the simplest ones from Xiao Nian first, and then consider future matters if the income is considerable.

"That's right, that's right, what Hongxue said is right, Xiao Nian, why don't you teach us the simplest ones and try first!" Luo Li also answered.

"Okay, although it's going to be winter, there are still some common medicinal materials on the mountain, especially goji berries. Now the autumn fruits and goji berries are ripe, and they can be sold after harvesting and drying. Although this thing is relatively cheap, but It's better than common, and you can pick it in three seasons, from spring to autumn!" Xie Xiaonian introduced directly.

"Ah, goji berries can also be sold. My family picks a lot in summer to make tea!" Zhang Lijia said excitedly.

"Yes, everyone usually only picks a little to make tea at home. If I knew it, I would have picked more. When I cut firewood, I also cut down a lot of wolfberry trees. What a prodigal. Who knew that such a common thing can Sell ​​it for money!" Luo Li said regretfully.

Xie Xiaonian saw that they were discussing endlessly, and she had to take a lunch break, so she hurriedly said: "This time, everyone will know that most of the herbs that can be obtained in this season are rehmannia, Anemarrhena, mulberry leaves, chrysanthemums, and fenugreek. Banzhilian, these things, everyone has seen these things, and they are relatively easy to learn, and some of them are medicinal materials that you didn't know before!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian introduced the common medicinal materials that can be picked in this season and a few people, and let them try it first.

However, Xie Xiaonian didn't teach medicinal materials like Gastrodia elata, which are rare and easily destroyed, so that everyone would be extinct on a whim.

It's not that she underestimated these people, but with their money-focused appearance, they would definitely give up immediately when they saw that they couldn't make much money.

Because they are all common ones, everyone knows them, and when they are collected, they are nothing more than the simplest drying and boring, so Xie Xiaonian will finish teaching them in a while.

"Xiao Nian, what do ginseng and ganoderma look like, teach us too!" Luo Li said dissatisfied.

"Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, I have been in the army for more than 2 years, but I have never seen them on the nearby mountains!"

Xie Xiaonian looked at Luo Li like an idiot, and felt that she really dared to think, even if there were ginseng in this place, they were all in the deep mountains, and the areas where she was active every day, if there were ginseng, they would have been taken away long ago, okay?

"What if I'm lucky enough to meet him? It's not certain. What if I meet him but don't recognize him?" Luo Li said without giving up.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Xiaonian differently, and felt that Xiao Nian must be afraid that she would get rich, so she deliberately didn't teach her.

"That's right, that's right, Xiao Nian, just tell us, if we do meet, we'll send it!" Zhang Lijia also said excitedly.

Xie Xiaonian saw that these people were all looking at him with bright eyes, obviously they all had the idea of ​​getting rich overnight, if he didn't teach him, it would appear that he was hiding his secrets.

"It would be great if you guys could meet and improve your family's life. Wait a moment, I'll bring you some medical skills and teach you how to recognize it!" Xie Xiaonian said directly.

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian brought a book of medical techniques with pictures from the house, and carefully taught a few people to recognize Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, saving them from blaming themselves for not being able to make a fortune.

Xie Xiaonian let out a deep breath after seeing off the happy people, she was still not good at dealing with these people, especially guessing their little thoughts, it was really troublesome!

But even if she doesn't like it, she won't be able to relax in the last two days.

Fortunately, most people are holding a wait-and-see attitude, and are going to see if others can make money before talking, otherwise Xiao Nian will definitely be busier.
