After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

The old village chief knew that he needed to go out to find a market to sell the medicinal materials, but only a few other people present knew about it.

But this is not a secret. You will find out sooner or later. There is nothing to hide.

Now that this topic was brought up, the old village chief took advantage of the situation and asked: "Should we go to Yuhang?"

Upon hearing Yu Hang, the eyes of the old people present lit up.

Yuhang is great, even those far away here have heard of it. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River, a land of plenty and rich people. It is said that the scenery is picturesque and there are countless talented people and beautiful ladies.

Master Fan Qi suddenly felt that the big buns in his hands were no longer so fragrant, and said enviously: "We old guys really haven't caught up with the good times. If we were twenty years younger, wouldn't we be able to go?"

As for the danger? What man doesn’t want to go out and have a try!

A large group of people from the same village went out to walk around and see the beautiful mountains and rivers all over the country. Even if there was danger, it was worth it.

Grandma Xu would rather stay in the village, as long as she can feel at ease and not be afraid.

She looked at Shui Qing with admiration. There were people in the room who were clearly older, more senior, and more experienced than Shui Qing, or even more. But everyone seemed to be centered on Shui Qing and her opinion was the main one. Do what she wants.

But this is what Shui Qing deserves. If it weren't for Shui Qing, let alone whether Shanshui Village would have enough to eat and drink, and earn enough money, it wouldn't be certain whether it would still be here or not.

People still have to be capable, and only capable people can be convinced.

Shuiqing heard Fan Qiye's question and replied with a smile: "Yes, but going out is also very tiring. We have traveled thousands of miles to Yuhang, added medicinal materials, and estimated that it will take at least a month or two. For such a long time, we have to sleep in the open air." Always be vigilant, lest you feel homesick and uncomfortable.”

People present understood that Shuiqing was pointing out that it was not easy to go out.

They also know that if the medicinal materials cannot be sold, the medicine shop will have no income. Even if the time is short, how can it be done if the time is long?

Wealth is accumulated bit by bit. Even if people without wealth can live a good life now, they will not be able to survive a little trouble in the future.

The old village chief sighed: "Hey, I'm not afraid of sleeping in the open air. It's okay to be homesick. I'll just endure it and get over it. It's just that it's chaotic outside, so I'm afraid of danger on the road.

Shui Qing, how many people are you planning to recruit? "

"My family's land has been plowed in advance, and we planted a batch of Polygonum multiflorum last year. This year, we don't have much land, so Dani, the others, and my parents can almost make it in time;

In this case, all eighteen men from Feng Damancang can go, plus Wenhua and Dahe. Of course, Dahe can't help and can't exert much effort. They are just brought here for some experience. The village will have to recruit thirty or forty more men;

In times of peace, the more teams that go out, the better. However, our place is not very peaceful at the moment. Thirty or forty men going out will have little overall impact on the village. Their outgoing team has fifty or sixty strong men, so in terms of safety. There are also guarantees. "They are all older people. I am afraid that everyone will worry, so Shui Qing talks in detail.

The old men nodded after hearing this.

Without a team of old, weak, women and children, all strong men with big swords, even the gangsters who robbed houses would be more cautious, and it would indeed be much safer.

Their village has gained experience after two night raids, and the female dolls have also come in handy. They have food, weapons, and walls. All they need to do is hold on. In addition, Governor Ling has reorganized the city and resettled a group of refugees. Although it is still chaotic But this chaos is better than before.

Grandma Xu asked with concern: "Has the date been set?"

"When the potatoes are recovered, the land will be plowed."

"We've almost harvested potatoes. There are thirty or forty people, and each household only has one man. It won't affect the cultivated land, so don't worry!"

"Yes, it will take several months for the winter wheat to be ready in the fields. Don't worry about it for now. Potatoes have just been harvested here. The land is much softer. The lack of men will not affect the cultivation of medicinal materials."

"You go early. The whole village will feel at ease if you get money from selling the medicinal materials."

This is not just a polite comment after eating a big meat bun with clear water, but it is something that each of them really means!

After all, every family has someone working in the medicine shop. The monthly salary is more than 600 yuan a month, which covers clothes and lunch. If the medicinal materials are not sold, what are they used for?

Even if the water was clear at the end of last year, if there is no place to sell it this year, not to mention Yue Yin who works, even the medicinal materials in the fields can only be eaten as food.

It's hard to find a way to make money in the village, but every family doesn't want to lose it.

Shui Qing didn't expect that the elderly were more anxious than she was.

In fact, she was okay. Even without the thank-you gift from Bai Manshan and Lingce, the income from the herb shop alone was pretty good.

Last year, the medicinal materials shop only sold medicinal materials twice, but once it was more than 900 taels, and twice it was more than 1,900 and nearly 2,000. The medicinal materials shop earned 21 taels a month, and the food expenses were a few taels of silver. The clothes only needed fabrics. Money, and it only needs to be spent once throughout the winter, not a monthly expense.

Calculated, the total expenditure so far has not exceeded two hundred. After dividing the dividends with the Ding family, there is still a little more than one thousand taels.

The profit was more than a thousand taels of silver. This was just the income from selling two batches of medicinal materials. It can be said that the medicinal materials shop is really profitable.

She smiled: "No, not only men, but also donkeys."

"donkey?"

Shui Qing nodded: "Well, my land has been plowed, and the horses, cattle and donkeys are available. The medicinal materials are generally not heavy. If the cattle move slowly, they will stay.

Six horses pull the cart, the carts are filled with medicinal materials, and the others ride donkeys. This way, it is not tiring, and the speed is faster. If you go back and forth from Yuhang, it will take almost more than a month.

My horses and donkeys are definitely not enough to carry the men in the village. The men need to prepare their own donkeys. Now that the potatoes are almost harvested, it will take another ten days to plow the land. Donkeys will not be needed to plant medicinal materials later, that is, The team can leave for Yuhang in mid-February. "

"Oh, it's so far! I thought it would take more than a month to pull a cart and walk back and forth, but I didn't expect it would take more than a month to ride a donkey." Grandma Xu exclaimed.

No wonder Shuiqing had to wait until the fields were plowed before going back. Such a long way requires walking on two legs. Without a donkey, in what year and month can he come back?

"My God, this is such a long journey!"

"Enough to brag about for the rest of my life!"

The men were shocked and delighted, wishing they could go too.

I used to think that when the village master went to Nanning Mansion, a three- or four-day trip back and forth was considered a far journey. Now that he has been out for a month or two, he really is considered a far journey!

Shui Qing saw the envy in the old men's eyes, but it was a pity that he had no choice. It was really not easy to go out and see them these days.

Especially since the world is not peaceful, it is even more difficult for elderly people to go out.

She changed the subject and said, "I'm going to set a salary of one hundred cents a day for one person and one donkey. Do you think this price is acceptable?"
