Now in the cold winter of Layue, and it is the time of idle farming, the villagers of Shili Village have not gone out to work, and every household is basically burning firewood at home to keep warm, and no one in the village is moving.Xu Qingyi went home in a carriage, but it did not attract the attention of the villagers.The carriage stopped in front of Xu's house, Xu Qingyi jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the sky, although the sun was shining down, the cold wind was biting, making people feel no warmth."
Dad, mother, I'm back."
The coachman lifted the things down and drove back, Xu Qingyi shouted at the backyard of his home.Immediately there was a sound in the backyard, Zhu, Zhang and others hurriedly came out of the backyard, and after seeing Xu Qingyi come back, Zhu's face showed joy and said, "Tsing Yi, why did you come back at this time?"
”"This is broken rice, and more than a dozen feet of cloth, and pastries, what's going on in Tsing Yi?"
Zhang also saw the things at her daughter's feet, she looked at it and asked with some surprise."
Here's the thing, I'm now promoted to a disciple in the medical hall, and these things are the monthly routine allocated to me by the shopkeeper for half a year, so that I can go home and have a good year."
Xu Qingyi told the Xu family what happened.When the Zhu family, the Zhang family, the Xiao Zhu family, and the Xu Dafu brothers heard this, their faces showed great joy.Zhu even called Xu Qingyi promising, and he was very happy.Before Xu Qingyi was promoted to apprentice in the medical hall, taught them the harvesting and processing of several medicinal materials, and sold them to the medical hall to make a lot of money, they felt that Xu Qingyi was promising, and now after seeing that Qingyi has gone further in the medical hall, this is the ancestral tomb is smoking.Zhu took the things Xu Qingyi brought back to the warehouse, and hugged Xu Qingyi to the firewood room to roast the fire.Xu Qingyi opened a pack of pastries in his hand, smiled lightly, distributed it to his younger siblings to eat, and touched their heads.After the second brother Xu Qingping thanked him, he took a small bite of it.The third sister, the fourth brother and the fifth sister, the three little guys, drooled greedily, took the pastry handed over by Xu Qingyi, and ate it in a big gulp.Obviously, they had never tasted such delicious food, and a satisfied smile spread across their faces, and their happy eyes narrowed to see only a thin slit.Xu Qingyi watched them eat with relish, and her face was full of relief.As for the elders in the family, they did not take the pastries.Maybe it's reluctant to eat, or maybe it's because you want to save it for the baby.This scene makes people feel the warmth and love of home."
Grandma, these two pieces of silver are the rewards of the Medicine Dao Competition, and the six hundred dollars are the monthly money I have advanced for six months, you can take it."
At this time, Xu Qingyi took out the silver coin and handed it to Zhu."
So much."
Zhu's surprise was beyond words.In the past, her family Tsing Yi never brought back money, but this year she brought back money one after another, not to mention, she also taught them to harvest several medicinal herbs and sold a lot of silver, and the silver money saved by their family in the second half of this year is comparable to the money of the previous year."
My granddaughter will come back with more money in the future.Strive to renovate our house next year, build a few more houses, buy a few acres of land, raise a few more pigs, and chickens and ducks. ”Xu Qingyi knew that his family was poor enough, and he couldn't wait to break a penny into two pennies.This time, he got back more than one or two silver coins, which naturally surprised the Zhu family."
Okay, mom wait."
Zhang smiled, not taking Xu Qingyi's words seriously, as a joke."
Tsing Yi Now that you have been promoted to a disciple in the medical hall, can you also arrange Qingping and Qing'an to study medicine in the medical hall?"
After thinking of this stubble, Zhu said to Xu Qingyi.Now that Zhu sees that her eldest granddaughter has not only learned real skills, but also made money, and the skill of medicine can be passed down from generation to generation, she naturally wants her eldest grandson to learn medicine and medicine, and then have the ability to start a career in the future."
When I went home today, I asked the shopkeeper that I could arrange to go to the infirmary to learn medicine and medicine, but I had to start as a handyman, and the path of promotion was the same as before.However, it is not a matter of selling oneself to enter the medical hall to learn art, and you need to pay two hundred yuan per month as tuition, and the medical hall includes food and accommodation. ”"Great, Qingping, Qing'an, you have to learn literacy with Lao Zhangtou, and after you have learned everything, you can go to the medical hall as soon as possible to learn art."
When Zhu heard this, his face was overjoyed."
Second brother and third sister, how many words have you learned now?"
Xu Qingyi asked his younger siblings."
I have probably learned about 300 words, and Qing'an has learned more than 200."
Xu Qingping looked at his eldest sister seriously."
Yes, I'm staying at home these days, and I'll teach you well."
It's only been more than a month since the last time, and I can learn nearly ten words a day on average, which is very good for a novice like my younger siblings.It can be seen that they have worked hard."
My mother urges them every day."
Zhang's moved to let her son and youngest daughter go to the medical center to learn art, and these days she also urges her children to learn literacy.When Zhang saw that she had foresight in advance, she was quite happy."
Dad, uncle, let's go up the mountain again tomorrow.Taking advantage of the long time I have spent at home these days, I will teach you more to harvest and concoct several medicinal herbs.Second brother, you go to the Bai family, and Ming'er will let the Bai family's grandmother and aunt go up the mountain with us. ”Xu Qingyi went home this time, and the most important thing was to teach the head of the family to harvest and concoct several medicinal materials.Harvesting medicinal herbs, each season and solar term has a harvesting period, the premise is that you can find it in the mountains.Xu Qingyi also plans to take his family up to the mountains to harvest medicinal herbs all year round or some special solar terms in the future, so as to ensure that they can work all year round and earn money.This time home, Xu Qingyi will spare a lot of time to teach more about the harvesting and concoction of several medicinal materials, and only by letting his family master these skills can they ensure that they can also collect medicinal materials from the mountains and sell them to the rejuvenation medical hall when they are away."
It's cold in this winter, is there any medicine?"
When Zhu heard that Ming'er's eldest granddaughter was going to take them up the mountain to collect medicine again, her eyes lit up."
Some herbs are harvested all year round, but this requires a high level of experience and discernment.Finding medicinal herbs in winter is much better than in spring, summer and autumn, because everything withers in winter, and the forms and characteristics of medicinal herbs are more obvious, which makes it easier to find medicinal herbs.Ancient medicine can accurately determine the place where they grow by observing the characteristics of the growth environment, shape and smell of medicinal materials.Winter is actually the golden season for those ancient medicines.The granddaughter is not talented, on top of the medicine road, there are some talents, we are not afraid that we will not be able to find the medicine when we go up the mountain.The weather is very cold, and it is much more difficult to collect medicines, after all, it is inconvenient to work in the cold, and some medicinal materials may be frozen and difficult to pick. ”Xu Qingyi said calmly and confidently.Xu Qingyi's appearance also seems to have affected the rest of the Xu family, and the rest of the Xu family looks like they are gearing up, as if they want to do a big job.
