When I walked to the broken shed, I happened to see her carrying a chicken, with a sinister brow and a sad look on her face.

Man Bao took one look at the chicken and couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, why kill this chicken when it is so young?"

The woman was startled by the sudden sound, and the grouse flew away as soon as she raised her hand.

Man Bao was also a little frightened when he saw her holding the knife.

She had seen people killing chickens all the time since she was a child, but no one had ever held a knife like this when killing chickens.

The woman reacted, quickly turned the blade of the knife downward, forced a smile and said, "It's your lord. Didn't you scare your lord?"

Man Bao shook his head and looked at the chickens in the shed. He found that the chickens inside were not big, at least they were not old enough to eat.

However, such a tender chicken must be delicious when stir-fried, but there are not many dishes now, so you can add a little dogwood to enhance the flavor...

Bai Shan turned to look at her, and asked the woman with a smile, "Are you preparing dinner for us?"

The woman answered respectfully, "Yes, the inn was leaky and I have wronged the adults."

Bai Shan shook his head and said with a smile: "This chicken looks young, so it would be a pity to kill it now. We brought some ingredients with us, and I asked them to get some for you. You don't have to kill the chicken."

Man Bao came to his senses, nodded repeatedly, and said to her: "It takes three or four months to raise a chicken like this before it can lay eggs? It would be a pity to kill it at this time."

Who says it’s not?

The woman nodded repeatedly and came out of the shed happily, "Isn't that right? I also said I wouldn't kill him, but my family may not be neglecting the adults."

She said sheepishly: "Our inn is remote and there are only a few adults staying here every year, so we don't have many things prepared."

Bai Shan understood and asked curiously: "How far is the nearest village to your post station?"

"It's not far. Go down the path and walk for about ten miles. It's a larger village. There are three or four small villages nearby, so there is a small market for adults who occasionally stay there.

In the morning, we will go there to buy some fresh meat."

Bai Shan understood and asked, "Everyone who settles here is leaving at noon time?"

"Yes, the journey is faster, and we will stop right here at noon."

Manbao then asked, "Did you buy the vegetables or something, or did you grow them at home?"

"Oh, we don't need many vegetables for food. Look, sir, we have planted this vegetable garden. Not many adults come, so it is enough to eat."

Man Bao pointed to the plant and asked, "I recognize all the other vegetables, but I don't recognize that grass. Is it also a vegetable?"

The woman took one look at it and said, "That's mountain pepper."

Manbao took a look at Keke's information. It was blank. It only said that it had found a plant that had not been included in the list, but did not detect its name. Obviously, they did not even have basic data on this thing, so they could not identify it.

Man Bao said: "No mountain pepper I have ever seen looks like this."

She has harvested peppers and mountain peppers. She has never forgotten the plants she has seen, at least she will not fail to recognize them again.

But the woman insisted, "This is mountain pepper. The roots can be sold to pharmacies for making medicine."

When Man Bao heard this, he perked up and said, "Then do you have roots? Let me see."

"No, I just planted this bush last year. I was thinking of selling it to the drug store to make money after it grows up," she said, "The people at the drug store said that it needs to be at least two years old to grow."

OK."

Man Bao wanted to dig even more, "Can I dig one?"

"Oh, I only have one. You may not think it's big, but it's actually just one. If you don't believe it, look at it."

Man Bao curiously went up to take a look and confirmed that there was indeed only one root underneath. He was a little disappointed and asked, "Can this thing be used for cutting?"

"That's not possible. You can only plant it with seeds."

"Do you still have any seeds?"

"No more," the woman said, "My natal sister-in-law gave me a handful of seeds, but in the end only this one grew."

This planting technique is really average.

Man Bao started to touch his wallet. Bai Shan had already taken it off and took out a bunch of money and gave it to her, "We have never seen this thing before and find it very strange. We want to study one. We will buy it with you."

How about coming down?"

The woman looked at the money in his hand and was speechless. After a while, she said: "Isn't this bad..."

But she took the money in her hand, and with a bright smile on her face, she said: "You dig, you dig, you can dig whatever you want. If there is anything you like in this vegetable garden, you can dig it."

Man Bao couldn't help but smile and said: "No, we can just dig this one."

The woman glanced at the small hoes in their hands, turned around and said, "This is too small to dig. Just wait, I will find a big hoe for you, and let my boy dig it for you."

After saying that, he took the money and ran away with the knife.

Man Bao naturally wouldn't wait for her. Even though her medicine hoe was small, it was specially made to hit it. It was very strong and sharp. There was nothing wrong with it except that it needed a few more hoeings.

Bai Shan took the hoe from her hand and started to hoe. In order not to damage the roots, he dug a bit big.

The woman didn't come, and the last person who came was Yi Cheng. He was carrying a hoe and a bunch of money in his hand. When he ran over, his forehead was sweating, "Sir, this is just a wild tree, how can I get it from you?"

money?"

Man Bao smiled and pushed it back: "This is what you use to make money. Selling it to me is the same as selling it to a drug store. How can you not get money?"

Yi Cheng could see that she was not being polite, so he paused and said, "It's not worth this much. My mother-in-law is not sensible. Even if we grow these things, a kilogram of rhizomes only costs seventy or eighty cents, so we have to plant them."

It takes three or four years to dig. How many kilograms can one plant cost? The money you gave me is too much."

Man Bao said: "But this thing in your hands is just like laying eggs. I heard that these are seeds. When the seeds are ripe one year, you can plant a field next year, and you can harvest a lot in two years."

rhizome."

Just like how their family planted yam and ligustrum, there were only a few plants at the beginning, but year after year, many families in the village now planted ligustrum lucidum on the mountain, making a lot of money.

Yi Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sir, you are very good at joking. This medicine can't grow just by talking about it. It also has to be taken care of and taken care of. My mother-in-law brought back a handful of seeds from her mother's house, but she spread them and planted them several times.

Months passed, and in the end only this one survived. It would be good if she could plant this one well."

Bai Shan said: "Just take it. I don't know if your in-laws still have seeds. If so, we would like to buy some."

Yi Cheng immediately said: "Yes, yes, I will ask my boy to get it in a moment. I don't dare to say buy it. I will pack a pack for you later."

I finally stopped talking about money.

Both parties secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Shan took the big hoe from his hand, thanked him for his kindness, and asked him to go to the front and Daji to get the ingredients so that they could dig it themselves.
