Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 299: Transporting Herbs

Wang Ke'er was held in the air by her brother, and she quickly asked her sister-in-law Yao for help: "Sister-in-law, please help me."

Wang Hu's wife, Yao, patted Wang Hu's arm and said softly, "Brother Hu, put your sister down quickly."

Wang Zhengmin, who was walking in front, turned around and saw his son bullying his little daughter again.

He frowned and yelled, "Ah Hu, why do you always bully her?"

Wang Keer looked at Wang Zhengmin scolding Wang Hu, and she turned to her father Wang Zhengmin for help: "Dad, Dad, help me..."

An Yue followed to close the door, and seeing the warmth and happiness of Wang Ke'er's family, she couldn't help but smile too.

My originally depressed mood instantly improved a lot.

Just as we were about to close the shop, Daniu and Ale came back.

They each came back with half a basket of pig grass on their backs. As soon as they entered the house, Ale complained, "Miss, pig grass is really hard to find nowadays. We walked to the creek in the village to cut this much pig grass."

An Yue smiled and said, "Yes, every household in the village raises a lot of livestock. After the locust swarm passes through, they will naturally go out to find pig grass."

"Nowadays, people in the village are cutting grass for pigs everywhere. The grass is cut before it has time to grow." As Ale said this, he took the backpack and put it in the tool shed next to the chicken coop.

An Yue analyzed casually: "However, the soil near the stream is relatively moist. It won't be long before grass will grow there."

Daniu came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife, preparing to cut grass for the pigs. He echoed, "Thank goodness the young lady let...let the three of us go to the fields and cut some red...sweet potato vines back."

“Although there are some sweet potato vines, they won’t feed for long.”

As An Yue spoke, she used the stored dirty water to water the vegetables in the yard.

The peppers, celery and cabbages in the yard were covered before the locusts arrived, so they were not completely destroyed by the locusts.

At this time, the setting sun gradually shifted to the west, and many strange-shaped colorful clouds appeared in the sky.

An Yue bent down to water the plants, and suddenly thought of delivering the herbs tomorrow.

With so many herbs stored at home, Li Wu's ox cart would have to make at least two trips to transport them all.

Dried herbs are not heavy but they take up space, so one has to carry the herbs back and forth from home many times to load them onto the truck.

After arriving at the town, the goods had to be unloaded from the ox cart, and the ox cart alone had to make two or three trips, which really delayed things.

After watering the fields, An Yue carried the wooden bucket and ladle to the yard. When she looked up, she suddenly saw the bamboo fence in the yard.

She suddenly thought of an idea. Just imagine, if the ox cart was surrounded by a fence, she could transport a lot of things at once, saving time, effort and worry.

She started doing it as soon as she thought of it. She wanted to make a circular enclosure.

So she asked Ale to go to the back mountain to cut some bamboos and bring them back home.

……

Ale quickly came back with some bamboos.

An Yue and A'le split the bamboo together, and cooperated in separating the bamboo fibers and cutting the bamboo strips.

Then, An Yue estimated the length, width and width of the ox cart in her mind and began to weave.

As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars.

With A'er's help and Anyue's skilled weaving skills, a simple fence was quickly woven.

An Yue said happily: "In this way, we can transport all the herbs to the town at once tomorrow."

An Yue gestured to surround the fence, and A'er, who was standing beside her, responded: "Well, yes! Although it is a little simpler, it will be secure if we tie it up with ropes."

The next day, at the hour of Mao.

When I opened my eyes, it was already bright day.

After breakfast, everyone started a busy day.

An Nian was reading in the yard in the morning, while Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer were feeding the poultry and livestock.

Da Niu carried the fence, A'er and Anyue both carried dried herbs to the main road, and the little dog Bashi followed closely behind them, wagging his tail.

Li Wu knew that An Yue was going to deliver something to the town, so he also went out early.

Just as An Yue and the other two had just put down their backpacks by the road, Li Wu drove a ox cart over from the west end of the village.

When An Yue saw Li Wu driving the ox over, she quickly greeted him, "Good morning, Uncle Li!"

Li Wu smiled and nodded at An Yue.

Soon, the ox cart arrived in front of An Yue. Li Wu jumped off the cart, pointed at the basket on the ground and asked, "Yueyue, are you going to transport these weeds to the town?"

"Yes! But there are more than these. There are many more at home."

Li Wu tried to weigh the basket on Ale's back and said, "This basket should weigh about thirty kilograms, right?"

An Yue said with a smile: "Yes, uncle is really good at identifying people and their goods."

Li Wu clapped his hands and signaled to start loading the truck.

The big bull Ale took the fence to the ox cart and tied it up firmly while it was standing.

Li Wu saw them tying up the things on the ox cart in an orderly manner, and nodded, "Not bad, not bad. This way, we can transport more things. Yueyue's little brain is smarter than uncle's!"

While chatting and laughing, the three of them were busy and soon tied up the fence.

Then they dumped all the herbs onto the bullock cart.

"Uncle, please sit here for a while. We will go back and carry it now." An Yue said, turned around and walked quickly towards home.

One trip.

Two trips.

The three of them ran back and forth three times before they were able to carry all the herbs in the house onto the ox cart.

The ox cart was filled with herbs and could only accommodate An Yue.

An Yue turned around and said, "Big Bull, the ox cart can't accommodate you two, so you two have to catch up quickly."

"Yes, miss." The two answered in unison.

Li Wu, who was sitting at the front, asked, "Let's go!"

"Well, okay." After An Yue responded, Li Wu waved the whip, and with a "go" sound, the ox cart slowly headed towards the town.

……

A quarter of an hour later, the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the town.

An Yue asked Li Wu to stop at the entrance of the town and wait for Daniu and Ale to arrive.

Looking back, I saw that they were not far behind, rushing towards the town entrance.

After they arrived, they and Li Wu pulled the ox cart slowly towards the main street.

As they walked on the street, An Yue thought of the Shijing Town in the past. Every time she came here, she would see the shops on the main road open early and small vendors set up their stalls.

Now, it is Chen time.

The whole street became deserted, lifeless, and devoid of any sense of life.

Occasionally, I would see three or five people who looked sick, bending over and coughing to see a doctor.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the first pharmacy on the main street - Minkang Pharmacy.

Nowadays, the entrance of the drugstore is filled with people sitting in a mess.

The people sitting on the ground were all pale and thin, and some looked like they were terminally ill.

An Yue said to Li Wu and A Le, "Everyone wait outside for a while, I will be back soon."

Everyone nodded.

An Yue walked into Minkang Pharmacy and saw Shopkeeper Zhou preparing medicine. She hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you busy?"
