Chapter 199: Lucky Star Control Group 6
The next morning, Chen Yuan, carrying a small backpack, followed his elder brother closely and went to Doctor Li's house.
He looks so cute and well-behaved, just like a primary school student going to school for the first time.
"Is the backpack heavy, little sister? If not, let your brother carry it for you." Liu Yuanqing looked back again with concern.
Shen Yuan: ...
If someone who didn't know heard this, they would think she was carrying dozens of kilograms of rice!
In fact, when the original owner was seven or eight years old, she saw other children carrying baskets to collect grass for pigs, and she begged her father to make it for her.
At that time, I made it half the size of others, about the size of a small backpack, and very light.
The original owner was extremely happy when she got it, but unfortunately she didn't use it in the end. She fell ill again that night, and the small backpack was left in the utility room and gathered dust.
Chen Yuan thought that he would need something to carry his things when he went to collect herbs, so he went to look through his father and brother's backpacks, and found that each of their backpacks was bigger than the other.
Father Liu frowned and held down his eager daughter. It took him a lot of effort to find the little thing.
Even with such a light little backpack, not much bigger than a palm, my brother was still worried that she would get tired.
Chen Yuan was so confused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He refused seriously, and then, under his worried eyes, he ran away with the small backpack on his back.
"Grandpa Li, we are here!"
Hearing the cheerful shouts, Doctor Li responded and walked out of the yard, carrying a backpack of the same model that was several times larger on his back.
"The little girl is quite punctual. OK, let's go up the mountain now."
This one sentence stopped Liu Yuanqing from wanting to detain his younger sister. Shen Yuan hid behind Doctor Li and playfully stuck out his tongue at his elder brother.
Liu Yuanqing: …
Everyone in the village got up early, and many of them were preparing to dig some wild vegetables. The three of them met several groups of people along the way.
Doctor Li has a very high status here. After all, everyone has headaches and fevers from time to time. Having a doctor in the village is very convenient for everyone. Besides, Doctor Li has good medical skills and his fees are not expensive.
Seeing him walking with the famous disaster star in the village, those people seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves several times, their eyes full of worry, fearing that he would be killed and it would be difficult to call a doctor in the future.
But they also knew that Doctor Li never believed in supernatural things, so they didn't dare to say these things in front of him.
I just figured it out secretly in my mind and decided to discuss it with everyone after returning to find a way to keep the disaster away from Doctor Li.
The three men were unaware of their little thoughts and went into the mountain chatting and laughing all the way.
There are very few useful herbs at the foot of the mountain. In the past, Doctor Li would go directly inside. However, this time he was planning to teach, so he pointed out all the usable herbs at the foot of the mountain and asked the two siblings to identify them.
Liu Yuanqing remembered it very carefully. He came here with a mission. His father said that as long as he learned it first, his younger sister wouldn't have to take risks, and the three of them could go into the mountains to collect herbs.
Father Liu had no choice. Doctor Li had already determined that his younger daughter was gifted and was willing to take his older son with him just for her sake.
But soon, Liu Yuanqing realized the gap between himself and his younger sister, and felt that his father's plan would definitely fail this time.
He didn't know what was wrong with his little sister's brain, she was very good at remembering things, and he barely remembered the shape of a herb.
My little sister has already explained its growing environment and medicinal effects in detail, and she can also quickly find a new one from a patch of weeds.
Liu Yuanqing was hit hard, and he buried his head deeply in the smug look of Doctor Li.
Seeing that the Liu family kid had finally behaved himself and no longer followed the little girl to stop him, Doctor Li's eyes flashed with a smile, and he waved his hand: "We have recognized most of the herbs here, let's go into the mountains!"
"Great, great! Let's go into the mountains!" Chen Yuan cheered loudly in support, making the old man and the child smile.
She was full of energy along the way and walked steadily on the mountain path, which gradually dispelled Liu Yuanqing's worries. He finally stopped protecting her like a little kid as he did when they first came out.
After achieving this goal, Chen Yuan stopped focusing on showing off and started helping his elder brother identify medicinal herbs in order to avoid destroying his self-confidence.
After all, her main purpose was to find a job for him, and he would have to rely on him to make a living in the future.
Fortunately, Liu Yuanqing's brain was not stupid. It was certainly not comparable to hers, but it was also at the upper-middle level of ordinary people. In addition, he studied hard and gained a lot in a day.
Doctor Li was well aware of the principle of biting off more than one can chew, and seeing that the food was almost done, he urged them to go down the mountain. He then spent the next period of time teaching the two of them how to prepare and dry the herbs.
It was not until Liu's father finished work and came home and sent Liu Yuanzhuang to call them for dinner that the two siblings reluctantly said goodbye to Doctor Li.
"Dad!" As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Liu Yuanqing excitedly pulled his father into the main hall, "I think this business is feasible. Guess how much the herbs we picked today can be sold for, according to Doctor Li?"
Seeing his mysterious look, Father Liu felt a little annoyed: "Just say it straight. I've been keeping your father in suspense."
Liu Yuanqing scratched his hair in embarrassment. "I'm so happy. It's seventy or eighty cents! Doctor Li said that the weight will vary after it's dried, but it's about this amount."
"Are there really so many?" Father Liu could no longer sit still and stood up excitedly, with a look of joy and disbelief on his face.
"Look at what you're asking, would your son lie to you?" Liu Yuanqing said with a smile, "Besides, my younger sister was there at the time, if you don't believe me, ask her."
"It's true, Dad." Chen Yuan also entered the house and testified for his elder brother with a smile, "And Doctor Li also said that what we picked today are some relatively common medicinal herbs. If they are relatively rare, the price will be higher."
Father Liu was happy for a while, then he started to worry: "But there are only two medical clinics in the town. If we collect too much in the future, will we be unable to sell it?"
Chen Yuan: "Dad is over-worrying about this. Medicinal materials are consumables. When someone gets sick, they need to buy medicine. Can you calculate how many people get sick every year?"
"Besides, if the town's clinic really can't take in the patients, we can still go to the county town! If we plan to do this business for a long time, the more sales channels the better."
Father Liu didn't understand "sales channels", so Chen Yuan patiently explained it to him and also mixed in some business tips.
She thought that if her father and brother had the brains in this regard, they could definitely expand the sales of medicinal materials. After all, it would be a pity to leave such a huge treasure trove vacant.
They can mobilize the entire village to collect herbs, collect them and sell them elsewhere. The climate here is good, and they can also grow herbs in the future.
Of course, if they don’t have such big ambitions, learning some skills to identify and collect herbs would be enough to make a living.
