Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 278 Herb Digging Plan

Ba Shi quickly closed his mouth, and was so scared that he tucked his tail between his legs and took a few steps back.

An Yue reached out, picked the red tomato and put it into the wooden basin, then touched Ba Shi's head.

He said softly to Ba Shi: "Ba Shi, puppies can't eat anything they don't like. If they get poisoned to death, they won't be able to see me again!"

Eighty raised his paw and scratched the dog's mouth, and a "嘤嘤嘤" sound came out of its mouth.

Then, Bashi walked towards the ditch at the edge of the field with his tail between his legs.

Looking at it lying under the mulberry tree, sticking out its tongue to enjoy the cool, An Yue couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Seeing that it had calmed down, An Yue put down the wooden basin and picked eggplants and tomatoes peacefully.

After picking the eggplants and tomatoes, An Yue looked at the potatoes planted nearby.

She gently dug up the soil at the roots of the potato seedlings and saw round potatoes only the size of a thumb.

An Yue secretly said in her heart: [It would be nice if I were a big potato now. ]

After taking a look, she quickly covered the potatoes with the dug soil.

Afterwards, An Yue stood up, holding the wooden basin, and called Ba Shi to go find Chun Zhi and the other two.

Seeing Chunzhi, Daniu, Ale and the others catching locusts with great interest from afar, An Yue simply didn't need to go over.

So he said loudly to Chunzhi and the other two, "Chunzhi, Daniu Ale, you guys take your time catching locusts, and remember to drive the ducks home early. I'm going back first."

Chunzhi waved at Anyue and responded, "Okay, Miss."

An Yue lowered her head and asked Ba Shi who was standing at her feet: "Ba Shi, are you going to look for them or go home with me?"

Ba Shi wagged his tail and ran towards Chunzhi and the others. An Yue smiled and shook her head, then walked towards home.

As An Yue walked, she was thinking about how to start digging herbs.

According to An Yue's previous plan, she wanted to find Wang Ke'er.

But if you think about it carefully, if Wang Ke'er agrees to help dig herbs, Aunt Wang will definitely know that digging herbs can make money.

In this way, it won’t be long before the whole village will know about it.

An Yue walked to the gate of her yard, opened the door and put the wooden basin into the kitchen.

She went to the main hall, sat on the bench at the eight-immortals table, and poured herself a bowl of water to drink.

I am still thinking in my mind that the living environment of the villagers is extremely difficult nowadays.

Without money and food, life has no direction. Everyone stays at home doing nothing, feeling anxious and uneasy. Days are extremely difficult.

If everyone knew that digging herbs could be exchanged for silver, most people would definitely go digging herbs.

However, they knew nothing about the properties and uses of medicinal herbs. It was impossible that grass could be exchanged for money!

They would dig up a bunch of them, dry them, and then take them to the town's medicine shop to exchange for money. The medicine shop would definitely not accept them, and it would also disrupt the entire medicinal materials market.

There are many types of herbs, many of which look very similar, and their medicinal effects are very different.

For example, dandelion and bitter herb, mugwort and wormwood, and motherwort, they all look somewhat similar in appearance, but their medicinal effects are very different.

It is extremely difficult for villagers who don't know much about herbal medicine to distinguish them.

Therefore, An Yue must consider carefully the matter of digging herbs.

Because this matter is of great importance, we cannot be impatient for success. If we act rashly without a thorough plan, it will only be a waste of time and money. In the end, we will not earn a penny, and a good thing will turn into a bad one.

An Yue thought about not letting the villagers know for the time being, because she wanted to make digging and purchasing herbs into a virtuous chain.

One is to enable the pharmacy to purchase good herbs.

The second is to ensure that patients have access to medicines and avoid post-disaster epidemics.

The third is that he wanted the villagers to follow him and earn money.

An Yue will complete these three tasks one by one.

If the final result is feasible, then organizing the villagers to dig herbs will be great for the villagers.

If it is not feasible, at least there will be no loss to the villagers.

Of course, digging herbs can bring them some income, which can give them a purpose in life. Even if the living environment is harsh, their days will not be too difficult.

First, An Yue has to solve one part of the first problem.

Make the purchase price of all drug stores unified.

All the pharmacies in the town are in serious shortage of medicinal materials, and digging herbs is urgent.

An Yue plans to ask Chunzhi, Daniu and Ale to dig herbs tomorrow, dig for several days and then dry them.

After delivering the first batch of herbs, I found out the prices offered by each shop, and then tried to unify the buying and selling prices as well as the quantities they wanted to purchase.

Based on the actual situation, decide whether to organize the villagers to dig herbs together.

Now that the drought has lasted for so long, there is no water source in the fields and land inside and outside the village, and the villagers cannot grow crops.

However, these days the villagers have been harvesting wheat, and after harvesting the wheat they have to dig deep wells.

Therefore, An Yue decided to go to the village chief's house to discuss the matter with him. If she could get the village chief's approval, it would be much more convenient to act then.

After An Yue wrote down her plans one by one on paper, she put away the paper and pen, and immediately stood up from the bench, ready to go to the village chief's house.

……

An Yue soon arrived outside the gate of the village chief's house.

dong dong dong.

"Here it comes." It was Qin's voice.

Qin opened the door and welcomed Anyue to the main room.

Arriving at the main room, Qin motioned for An Yue to sit down.

An Yue asked: "Aunt, is Uncle at home?"

Qin said as she poured the water, "You're at home, Yueyue, sit here for a while."

After pouring the water and handing it to An Yue, Qin asked curiously, "Girl Yue, did you come here this time to discuss something with your uncle?"

After Qin guessed her thoughts, An Yue scratched her head embarrassedly.

She was afraid that Qin would be angry with her, so she asked tentatively, "Will Auntie be unhappy?"

Qin sat beside An Yue, holding An Yue's hand and said softly, "Silly girl, how could your aunt not be happy? Yue Yue previously proposed to dig a deep well collectively. Now that this has been carried out, the villagers are really benefiting!"

At this time, the village chief walked into the main house from the yard.

When Qin saw her husband coming in, she smiled and said, "Huairen, Miss Yue is here to discuss important matters with you again."

"Oh? What's the matter?" When the village chief Li Huairen heard that they were discussing important matters, he hurriedly sat down in front of An Yue and asked curiously.

"Uncle, Yueyue wants to..."

An Yue told the village chief her thoughts one by one.

……

After a long time, An Yue finished her thoughts.

After hearing this, the village chief was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yueyue's idea is very good. However, as Yueyue said, this matter is of great importance, so we need to act with caution."

"Now that the drought has become a disaster, the villagers can only watch the crops in their fields die from drought."

"Although the wheat has been harvested ahead of schedule, if the government still requires villagers to pay taxes, every household will be in great difficulty."
