This morning, Li Xia sold all the fish, cooked and delivered meals. He made two trips back and forth to the village and county seat, which consumed a lot of energy. He hasn't eaten yet and his stomach is already growling.

After all, he was not an iron man and needed to eat. Li Xia quickened his pace and hurried home.

When passing by the"Yongjitang" Chinese medicine shop in the county seat, Li Xia stopped.

He turned to look at the Chinese medicine shop and remembered something.

In the memory of his previous life, he was still the idle street kid who wandered around the streets and alleys all day long.

One day I happened to meet the owner of a drug store purchasing a Chinese herbal medicine called"Chonglou".

At that time, Li Xia secretly heard the price of purchasing herbs and immediately became red-eyed.

The Chinese herbal medicine called"Chonglou" actually sells for five yuan a pound.

Li Xia was secretly surprised. The medicinal herbs looked familiar, as if they were everywhere in the mountains.

So, Li Xia jumped into the mountains and forests to find that medicinal herb.

As a result, Li Xia picked a basketful of weeds with similar shapes and wanted to sell them to the drug store owner.

The drug store owner took a look and saw that none of the herbs in it were real herbs, they were all useless weeds.

Li Xiabai worked hard all day, but later he had a grudge and did something stupid. He smashed the window glass of the drug store at night and ran away.

Recalling the stupid things he had done before, Li Xia shook his head and smiled bitterly.

But now, Li Xia has discovered another way to make money, which is worth celebrating.

Picking wild herbs from the mountains and selling them in drug stores is another business without capital.

Li Xia hurried home and walked into the kitchen.

Sure enough, the two breast dumplings were sitting on the chair, stroking their round bellies, and burping from time to time.

It looked like they were full.

When they saw Li Xia come back, they didn't become his leg accessories like before.

I really ate too much!

Li Xia shook his head helplessly,"You two snackers, don't eat so full next time, it's not good for your health." The two milk dumplings didn't seem to hear it, and they said"beep babbling".

"Dad~! The food you cooked was so delicious, Duoduo accidentally ate too much~!"

"Daddy~! Nuannuan loves to eat shrimp~! I'll do it next time, okay?"

Li Xia walked over, took the two little guys off the chair, and let them walk for a while to digest.

Li Xia was a little speechless. Isn't it good even if his cooking skills are too good?

Next time, the two little guys have to share their meals. , so as not to overeat.

There is still a lot of food left on the table. Duoduo and Nuan Nuan are children after all, so they can't eat much.

Li Xia was too lazy to heat the food, filled a bowl of rice, and started eating.

He After finishing the food and tidying up the kitchen, he picked up a bamboo basket and a hatchet and went up the mountain to collect herbs. In his previous life, Li Xia knew nothing about Chinese herbal medicine.

So at that time, all he picked were useless weeds. It’s just that the appearance is similar.

On the mountains near Shangrong Village, there is indeed a wild herb called"Chonglou".

It’s just that the quantity is rare, so you need to spend energy to find it carefully.

""Chonglou" is a Chinese medicinal material with extremely high medicinal value and is very precious.

In later generations, wild Chonglou was sold for two to three thousand yuan per catty, and it was often expensive but not marketable.

The market price in the 1980s was five yuan The money is a pound.

Li Xia took the hatchet and climbed up the mountain.

Chonglou likes shade and usually grows in the shade of trees on hillside and in the wet places of grass in valleys. There are often no roads in such places and it is difficult to walk..

Li Xia squeezed into the area of ​​intertwined vegetation and trees, waving the hatchet in his hand constantly, cutting off the sharp branches. There is no road in this world, and the more people walk, the more people walk. Li Xia forcibly opened up the road.

A mountain road led out.

Of course, it also cost a lot.

There were many superficial wounds on his arms and calves from spiky plants. It hurt.

Li Xia gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

He came to a place of decay. The humid area was full of scattered dead branches and leaves.

Li Xia looked around and found that a shady hillside was covered with seven-leaf herbaceous plants. On top of the seven leaves, there was a bunch of Red capsule.

Li Xia's eyes suddenly lit up.

Found it.

This is Aesculus aesculata, also known as Chonglou.

Li Xia walked over and after careful identification, he found that the wild medicinal materials growing in this area were all the ones he was looking for. ——Chonglou

"Sent!"

Li Xia didn't expect to find such a large piece.

It was estimated to be about ten kilograms.

Li Xia was so excited that he reached out and uprooted a plant.

Pick it up and appreciate it up close. This kind of medicinal herb is still very beautiful.

Traditional Chinese medicine has So a sentence: Two liang of nine-leaf double tower, one pupa of winter solstice silkworm chrysalis, fried in the next year's snow, can cure the pain of lovesickness in the world!

In later generations, this double tower is still a protective plant.

Therefore, the seven-leaved flower is also called the grass that sits on the bottom of the prison..

As long as you dare to pull it out, it will take more than three years and less than seven years.

However, in this era, you can pull it out at will.

Every one of these plants is worth money!

Li Xia rushed to shave this hillside."Bald".

All the medicinal herbs were put into the bamboo basket, leaving only bare moss.

This wave of harvest greatly increased Li Xia's confidence, and the skin wounds on his body no longer hurt.

But later, Li Xia's luck was not good. Okay, so I only found a dozen or so sporadic plants, and no patches of Chonglou.

This is normal, because wild medicinal materials like Chonglou are inherently rare.

In addition, the growth cycle of Chonglou is relatively If it is cultivated artificially, you have to wait four years to pick the seeds and five years to harvest, and it will take even longer for wild ones.

In the short term, Chonglou is a non-renewable and precious resource.

Looking at it this way, it costs five yuan a piece. A kilogram is reasonable.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people, these days, five yuan a kilogram is a sky-high price.

Li Xia looked up at the sky and unknowingly spent an afternoon on this mountain. Now it is It was evening.

Li Xia packed up and walked down the mountain.

If it gets dark, it is still quite dangerous in the deep mountains and old forests.

When Li Xia returned home, Chu Mengxi happened to come back from work.

Chu Mengxi saw the bamboo basket He looked at the things inside and asked in confusion:"What are you doing picking these weeds?"

"These are not weeds, but wild medicinal materials called Chonglou.

Chu Mengxi:"Wild medicinal materials?" Li

Xia smiled slightly and said,"You only need to know that they can be sold for money, that's enough.""

Chu Mengxi was stunned. She had heard that some wild medicinal materials were valuable.

"Sell ​​for money? How much does it cost?"

Li Xia stretched out a palm and waved it in front of Chu Mengxi's eyes.

"Fifty cents a pound?"

"Five yuan a pound"

"ah?!"

Chu Mengxi's beautiful eyes widened immediately. These things that looked no different from weeds could actually be sold for five yuan a pound.

"This...how many pounds does this weigh?"Chu Mengxi asked

"About ten pounds."Li Xia said lightly.

Chu Mengxi was surprised.

So much!!

After all, it's not more than fifty yuan!

She quickly carried the bamboo basket in, and when Li Xia came in, she immediately closed the courtyard. Li Xia smiled and shook his head and said,"You don't have to do this. Even if you put the bamboo baskets outside, it is still safe, because few people know that these are wild medicinal materials and can be sold for money.

Chu Mengxi glanced at Li Xia and asked curiously:"Then how do you know?"

Li Xia smiled and said:"Your husband, I am well-informed.""

Chu Mengxi was stunned for a moment. The sudden word"husband" made two blushes appear on Chu Mengxi's fair cheeks.

Chu Mengxi lowered her head, spat lightly, and said nothing.

Li Xia stared at Chu Mengxi. , his eyes were deep.

The breeze blew by, blowing down a few strands of black hair from the woman's forehead, covering her eyebrows.

The woman stretched out her hand, and arranged her hair with her fingers as white as jade.

Her gentle temperament and unworldly appearance could not be seen. Not enough.

The sky is full of beautiful red clouds, but Li Xia feels that it is not as good as the intoxicating scenery in front of him.
