After sending Qiaoguo to Baishu, Chen Dongqing went back to her home.

He put down his things and went out to dig grass with a bamboo basket on his back.

Now Brother Liu is familiar with digging grass, so he doesn't stay with him all the time.Most of the time, he dug it himself, dried it, and sent it to him when he was going to the county.

When Chen Dongqing dug grass, he didn't just keep digging at one place.Usually dig here for a few days, then change to another place.Alternate rotation in various places can also allow the weeds to recuperate and grow again.

Today, just after Chen Dongqing changed another place, he found that there seemed to be less weeds here. He thought that Brother Liu might have come to dig it, so he changed another place.

After digging a few times, I saw two people digging weeds not far away.The two village women had a small basket of weeds in their back baskets, and it looked like they had been digging for a while.

While digging, one of them asked the other, "Can you really make money by digging this weed? They are all worthless things. Anyone else want them?"

The man then said: "It's something worthless, so you are an ignorant person. You didn't see that Brother Chen, and you made a lot of money by digging weeds, so you have the confidence to leave."

"Really? Isn't this grass eaten as a wild vegetable? Where did he make so much money?"

"It can be fake. Brother Liu is helping him dig grass at his place now. He told me that he can get [-] Wen a day. Think about it, he can give Brother Liu so much. How much money do you have to earn? Can you earn at least one tael of silver a day?"

"That's right, at least one or two taels of silver, otherwise he would be willing to give Brother Liu thirty coins?"

The voices of the two village women's discussions reached Chen Dongqing's ears, making him very angry.He only got [-] Wen in a few days, and he had to give Brother Liu [-] Wen every day, how could he earn a tael of silver!

He was even more angry when he heard that they were told by Brother Liu.This brother Liu didn't know what to say, but he actually spread the money he gave him and the matter of digging herbs.

Angrily, Chen Dongqing changed to another place to dig grass. After digging, he dried the herbs and went to find Brother Liu.

Brother Liu had already dried the herbal medicine at this time, and was standing at the door with his waist up, chatting with others.

Before Chen Dongqing got close, he heard him say to those village women and brothers: "Let me tell you, that mother-in-law Ding is called dandelion outside, but it is a kind of herbal medicine that can cure diseases! Those of us Just follow Brother Chen to dig these, and you can easily earn thirty cash a day, which is much easier than growing crops."

"You are really lucky. You have a good relationship with Brother Chen, and he gives you so much money. No one can do this kind of work. We can't even envy you." A married brother said.

"Hey, what's the relationship? He can give me so much, and I must have earned a lot. I have been working with him for half a month, and he still refuses to let me know where the recipient is. It's not to guard against me, I'm afraid I will know that he has made a lot of money." Brother Liu said loudly.

As soon as Brother Liu finished speaking, the village women and brother beside him fell silent and looked behind him with embarrassing expressions.

Brother Liu turned his head and saw Chen Dongqing standing behind him.Seeing him turn around, he sneered and said, "I didn't know, you always miss me that much."

Brother Liu was caught when he spoke ill of others, and he was immediately embarrassed.His face changed rapidly, and finally he squeezed out a smile and said to Chen Dongqing: "I'm just bragging, don't take it to heart, let's talk first."

Chen Dongqing followed Brother Liu into the house, and the villagers who watched the excitement were still around the door.

Not long after, they heard fierce quarrels coming from the house.

Chen Dongqing pushed the door out and left with a sullen face.Brother Liu rushed out of the house and scolded at the back: "If you don't let me do it, don't let me do it. Why, isn't it just picking grass? Who can't do it? I will go to the county to find someone by myself tomorrow." Take it, I don’t believe you can’t make money!”

Chen Dongqing waited until he got back into the house and closed the door, only then burst into tears.

Brother Liu has known him for almost 20 years, and he can be regarded as a close friend.Unexpectedly, after working together for more than ten days, they completely turned their heads.

He knew Brother Liu had a big mouth, and sometimes he liked to go out and brag, so he never told him the source of the medicine collection and the exact amount, but he didn't expect him to think so much of himself.

Chen Dongqing cried for a while, and then Li'er came back.

A few days ago, he enrolled Li'er in the village school. Although he hadn't learned calligraphy yet, he also recited the Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic and so on.

Since he reconciled with Zhao Er, Li'er's temperament has become much more cheerful.Now that he has been educated, he is more lively and talks a lot more.

As soon as he got home, he excitedly said to Chen Dongqing: "Father, the master has taught you a new sentence, and I'll read it to you. Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor..."

Chen Dongqing secretly wiped away tears, hugged Li'er and said, "You read really well, but it's a pity that my dad has never been to school, so I don't understand what it means."

Li'er explained to Chen Dongqing the story told by the master again, then hugged Chen Dongqing and said: "After telling this story, master, I feel that Daddy and you are the same as Mengmu. Take me away from Daddy and live a new life." Good day, I can still go to school..."

When Chen Dongqing heard this, the tears that had been wiped away with great difficulty rolled in his eyes again. He patted Li'er's head and said, "With your words, Dad feels very happy."

Two days later, it was time to send fish again.When Chen Dongqing went to the fish pond early in the morning, Wang Mutou had already caught the fish and waited for him to come.

He got into the carriage and went to the county seat with the dwindling medicinal herbs on his back.

Now Brother Liu doesn't work with him anymore, if there are fewer herbs, there will be fewer.

Originally, he only made an extra forty Wen in three days, but after calculating it in one day, he only lost more than ten Wen, which is not that important.

Chen Dongqing first sent the fish to Laifulou, and after collecting the money from shopkeeper Yan, he went to the medical clinic.

After he handed the herb to the doctor, the doctor looked at it, but only counted out one hundred Wen and handed it to him.

Chen Dongqing was stunned for a moment after receiving the money, and asked after a while: "Doctor, today's medicinal herbs are not short, how come there is only so much money?"

The doctor was acquainted with him, so he told the truth: "This hundred coins is also calculated for you because of my affection. Since you left last time, how many times have you been here in the past two days?" Those who sell medicinal herbs are all from your Baitang Village, and the herbal medicines they send are not bad. I can't just accept yours and not theirs, can I? I have harvested a lot of medicinal herbs these days. It won't be used up for more than half a month, so don't give it away any more recently, and I won't be able to accept it if you give it to me."

Chen Dongqing was a little dazed, put one hundred coins into the purse, and walked out of the hospital with an empty bamboo basket.

Not long after he got into the carriage, he saw a few people coming not far away carrying bamboo baskets full of medicinal herbs. It turned out to be his ex-in-law's Zhao family.

One of them was his ex-sister-in-law, who was talking to the person next to him: "It seems to be here. I heard from Brother Liu yesterday that the medical center in this county collects herbs, and he asked them from family to family."

Another person said: "Hurry up, go in and have a look, sell this grass, see how much money you can exchange for it?"

Chen Dongqing looked at it for a while, then put down the curtain of the carriage, and said to Old Feng, "Let's go, let's go back."

It was less than a month before Bai Shu handed over the business to him, and he cut off the sale of this herbal medicine.

He regretted and hated at the same time, he blamed himself for not being able to understand people clearly, so who else could he blame!

Chen Dongqing went home and collected the medicinal herbs in the yard. The medical clinic no longer accepts medicinal herbs, so what's the use of him drying these things.

As he was tidying up, he saw Zhao Er passing by again with a bamboo basket full of weeds on his back.

He swaggered in front of his eyes and said, "Brother Chen, isn't it just digging weeds? How great is it to make some money? You still divorced me, thinking how capable you are? Now I'm also digging grass and selling it for money, what? What's the matter with you?"

After Zhao Er said a few words, Chen Dongqing gave him a hard look, entered the room and closed the door.

Only then did he return triumphantly with the bamboo baskets on his back. He heard that the weeds could also fetch a high price, one basket could sell for one tael of silver.When he collects more and sells them in the county, and saves a few taels of silver, can't he go out and buy a yellow girl?

Chen Dongqing went back to her room and opened her money box.

Inside the box lay an ingot of three taels of silver and more than a hundred copper plates.This is what he saved from selling herbs these days.

Originally, Chen Dongqing had made up his mind to save more money to buy an acre of land, but it cost eight taels of silver for an acre of land. Now that he has cut off his life-saving business, how can he save so much money?

If it doesn't work, let's buy some mu and go to the field first, Chen Dongqing thought.He and Li'er always have to eat, and now that the savings are all spent, they can only point to this mu of grain that goes to the fields.

Moreover, Li'er's village school may also be discontinued.

Last season, the village school had to pay [-] copper coins, and Chen Dongqing had already paid it for one season. When Lier finished this season, he had to go home and work.

Bai Shu hurt his foot these few days, so he didn't go out much, every day at [-]:[-], he was taken to Xie's house by Lao Feng for dinner, and then sent back after eating, he was raised like a pig for a few days.

He was a restless person, and he felt uncomfortable all over. He had a thick layer of scars on his feet this day, so he couldn't help getting out of bed anymore.Although he was not walking fast, he limped to the construction site.

When they arrived at the construction site, everyone inevitably paid attention to his injuries.

Bai Shu only said that he accidentally climbed a tree and broke his leg, but no one noticed anything wrong.

He supervised the work there for a while, and then saw Li'er coming over, helping the children to move bricks for mung bean soup, with a sullen face on his face.

Bai Shu thought it was funny, so he called him over to ask him how he went to the village to learn.

Li'er likes Bai Shu very much, and has no reservations about him, so when she saw him, she said, "Brother Bai, my father said that the village school only allows me to attend this season, and not the next season."

Bai Shu was taken aback when he heard that, Chen Dongqing had just figured out earlier to send Li'er to the village school, why didn't he be allowed to attend after a few days?

He then said to Li'er: "But if you don't study hard, your father won't let you go?"

Li'er then shook her head and said, "No, Dad said that he has no money, and going to the village to study is too expensive, so he had to give up. The family doesn't eat meat these days, they only eat some pickled vegetables and gruel."

Li'er is only a six or seven-year-old child. Although he couldn't even afford pickled vegetables and porridge before, after a while of good life with meat and rice, he was beaten back to his original shape, and he was not used to it.

When Bai Shu asked, he told the truth honestly.

Bai Shu frowned, thinking that there must be something wrong with Chen Dongqing's medicinal herb business.

Because this business is too easy to imitate and has no technical content, it was not a long-term solution.What Baishu was doing at the beginning was to solve the urgent need.

When he gave this business to Chen Dongqing, he originally planned to let him make a fortune first.

Now that he can't make any more money, let Chen Dongqing take care of things for him.

So Bai Shu packed up and went to Chen Dongqing's house with Li'er.

Chen Dongqing was preparing meals at home at this time. He grabbed a handful of round-grained rice, thought about it, poured back half of it, added two handfuls of beans, and cooked bean porridge with water.

Now that there is no business of selling medicinal herbs, life can no longer be as extravagant as before.

There is also the matter of buying land that needs to be planned early, and the village chief must pay attention to it in the near future.

He went to the yard, ready to hold a handful of dry branches to start a fire.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Li'er coming back, followed by Bai Shu.

Chen Dongqing was taken aback for a moment, and her expression became stiff.

It's noon, if Bai Shu sees his lunch, he might guess his recent situation in no time.

"Brother Dongqing." Bai Shu glanced and said, "Don't be too busy, don't make lunch in the future, you and Li'er go to the construction site to eat, I have already told the kitchen."

As soon as Chen Dongqing heard it, he knew that he already knew it, and sighed: "You have helped me enough, but I am so useless, how dare I eat yours now."

"It's just two pairs of chopsticks left and right, and it's not for you to eat for nothing, but to help me with things." Bai Shu smiled and walked into the room without paying attention.

Chen Dongqing also walked in after him.

"I'm sorry for you." Chen Dongqing sat down and said, "I've only been in charge of such a good business for a long time before it was ruined."

Seeing him like this, Bai Shu smiled, and comforted him: "This business won't last long, so why not mess it up? Although it's faster than I imagined, it's nothing to do. That's all In this way, you will help me take care of things. You have been sending my fish all the time, and you will continue to do so in the future. In addition, the work of raising deer also requires you to take care of it. You can feed some deer grass every day You can also help me find some villages to collect some rice leaves."

"Of course the income is less than selling herbal medicine. I will give you another [-] Wen a day for two meals with Li'er. What do you think?"

When Chen Dongqing heard this, of course there was nothing wrong with it.Thirty Wen a day, ninety Wen in three days, and two meals in the middle and evening.Although it is much less than selling medicinal herbs by myself, it is still a high income in Baitang Village.

He also remembered that he had given Brother Liu thirty Wen as wages before, but within a few days, he was tricked by him, so he told Bai Shu about it with a sad face.

Hearing this, Bai Shu just smiled and said, "I don't blame you for this matter. You don't understand these things about business. You only know that Brother Liu is on good terms with you, so you want to give him more benefits."

"It's just that you should pay attention to methods when employing people. Anyone can do a simple thing, but you give him so much money. On the contrary, it makes him delusional, thinking that your money is easy to earn. And Brother Liu is a man with hands and feet. Although he is neat, he can’t keep things in check and is useless. That’s why I kept him on fire in the kitchen, and I never gave him a promotion, I’m afraid he would have been dissatisfied with me long ago.”

"Then..." Chen Dongqing said hesitantly, "Brother Bai, is it too much for you to give me thirty Wen a day?"

He felt like he hadn't done anything...

"Not much. If you do a good job, I'll buy you shares and do other more profitable businesses." Bai Shu said, "I don't feel comfortable entrusting others with these things that can touch money. You can help me." I'm in charge of the money, like those shopkeepers in the city, how much is thirty yuan a day?"

After hearing this, Chen Dongqing felt relieved and said, "In this way, I will be your shopkeeper, which is not bad."

"Yes." Bai Shu nodded and said, "Let him continue to study Li'er's village school. If you have time, you'd better learn some of it too. To be my shopkeeper, it's not good if you can't read a single word. At least You must be able to write a few words, and you must also be able to do arithmetic."

After hearing this, Chen Dongqing said very seriously: "Then I'll go to the village school to sign up in a while, and I'll learn some along with it."

Lier heard it from the side and said: "When I grow up, I will also be the shopkeeper for Brother Bai."

Bai Shu laughed out loud.

Besides, brother Liu, he went to the county seat that day, and after searching for a long time, he finally found the medical clinic where Chen Dongqing sells medicine.

He sold a whole box of medicinal herbs and only got two hundred coins, only to realize that the medicinal herb business was not as profitable as he imagined.

But he couldn't control his mouth. After returning home, he was surrounded by fellow villagers and questioned him, and accidentally told the whole story about his experience in selling medicinal herbs.

When the villagers heard him say that a basket of medicinal herbs could sell for two hundred renminbi, their hearts were greatly moved, and they went to dig weeds in groups that day, regardless of whether they could be used as medicine or not. They are all going to be dug up.

But in this business of buying and selling herbal medicines, only a few people who went there on the first day made some money, and those who went later made less and less money.

After a few days, the medical clinic declared that it would not accept the medicinal herbs for the time being, saying that it had received too many medicinal herbs and would not be able to be used for more than half a year.

When Brother Liu went again, he was immediately invited out. He carried a basket of weeds and walked for more than ten miles, but he didn't sell a penny.

And for at least six months from now on, they won't be able to make money from this medicinal herb business.

When he worked with Baishu before, the work was not tiring. Although the money was small, he had meat to eat every day.

Later, he and Chen Dongqing did herbal medicine business together, and they earned even more, even willing to buy beef twice.

It's just that although he made a lot of money, he didn't follow Chen Dongqing for long.Calculated, the total income is only a few hundred coins. Now that the source is suddenly cut off, it is very uncomfortable, and I don't know where to find some more work.

After much deliberation, Brother Liu thought about talking to Bai Shu again, to see if he could go back to cook.

Bai Shu listened with a smile, glanced at him and said: "At first you did a good job of cooking, but after you left, I recruited Brother Wang to come over, and the manpower is enough. If I invite you over again, then One of the three will be dismissed. Or you can say it yourself, and see if any of them is willing to leave on their own initiative, that seat will still be yours."

Baishu's cooking position has always been a fat job, so many people are staring at him, so how can anyone be willing to give it up?

Brother Liu couldn't help it, but he still had the cheek to say it, and was almost beaten out immediately.

Those two women were at odds with him in the first place, so of course they refused to give him a good look.And the brother surnamed Wang also mocked: "You quit your job and left by yourself at the beginning, thinking about making a lot of money. But now that you haven't made a lot of money, you want to come back. Come when you want, leave when you want , how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?"

Brother Liu was at a loss, and he couldn't win against three of them, so he had to leave in despair.

In Baitang Village, apart from the Baishu family, the only ones who help rich families farm the land.

Rich households have a lot of land, and the family can't grow it, so they need to find a few people to help them grow it.

They didn't recruit brother in the past, but now many men are going to help Baishu build a house, and they don't have enough manpower, so they also want brother Liu.

Work in this kind of land does not include food, you have to bring your own dry food, and you only get a penny for two days of work.

It was the dog days at this time, Brother Liu was dizzy from the sun after working for a while.Sitting down and resting for a while, the wife of the rich family saw him, pointed at him, and scolded him: "Can you do it as a brother? You don't work hard after collecting money, thinking you are here to play? Our family can't do it." I don’t have that much money to hire someone to come and rest.”

Brother Liu had no choice but to wipe the sweat off his brow and continue to work.At this moment, he smelled a familiar fragrance.

Brother Wang and the other two wives passed him and walked towards the construction site, carrying a load full of pork rice.

Brother Liu swallowed his saliva, his stomach growled a few times, he looked at their backs as they walked further and further away, and heaved a long sigh...
