Chapter 12 Discussion

The shopkeeper of the medicine hall saw that I was smart and organized the medicinal materials neatly, so he asked the medicine boy to teach me how to identify the medicinal materials. Over time, he did not shy away from even preparing the medicinal materials, and I memorized them all."

"Wow! My sister is so awesome." Little fan girl Erya came online.

"Sister, you have a photographic memory!" little fan Cheng Jia came online.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed to be praised, "Maybe they think that teaching a little girl to identify a few medicinal materials only needs to be divided into categories so that she can get started. They don't think I can learn much from it, so they don't put up any precautions."

Forgive her for telling a lie. Concoction of medicinal materials cannot be learned in ten and a half days. It takes at least three to five years.

"I went up the mountain yesterday and saw a lot of medicinal materials. We can prepare them and sell them to pharmacies." Cheng Xiaoxiao said confidently.

Cheng Hao thought for a while and said: "But Da Ya, Doctor Huang also collected some honeysuckle, groundroot grass, mugwort leaves, etc. before. Everyone knows them. After picking them, you can exchange them for a few copper coins. These herbs are only in the season when they are mature."

Some of them are picked, but the quantity is not large, and everyone picks them in a few days, so that they can be exchanged for a meal of meat."

"That's right, Da Ya, this isn't worth much money." Mrs. Liu had picked it before and exchanged it for fifteen coppers, which took her most of the day.

"Everyone sells fresh herbs, so they must be cheap! We want to prepare them, and the few common herbs collected by Dr. Huang have low medicinal value. We will process the herbs and sell them directly into medicine shops.

The price is naturally different.”

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Cheng Xiaoxiao continued: "I was in Mangshan yesterday and saw a large field of night morning glory at the foot of the mountain. If I can cook it well, I can sell it for a lot of money."

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, he continued to add, "If you feel there is danger, you can ask Uncle Beiniu to cooperate. We only pick at the foot of the mountain, not even on the outside. Ferocious animals usually move around in the inside."

Everyone was a little excited, looked at each other, and couldn't make up their minds. After all, this was Mang Mountain. With so many lessons learned through the blood of previous generations, how could they dare to set foot there easily?

Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her head and asked, "Why can't it be done after talking so much? It seems that Mangshan has left a big shadow on the villagers here, so she has to come up with her trump card."

Cleared his throat, "Let's try it first. Tomorrow my father will call Uncle Beiniu, and I will draw a route map for you. It's easy to find where the night morning glory grows. I will also draw it for you. You guys go first

I'll collect twenty or thirty kilograms and cook it. Then I'll sell it. I'll ask about the purchase price and the demand, and then I'll decide whether to do it or not."

As long as they see tangible benefits, they will naturally have the motivation and courage to do so.

Seeing how thoughtful Da Ya was, no one had any objections to this, and they discussed the specific details of going up the mountain before giving up.

Seeing that they were almost done discussing it, Cheng Xiaoxiao said loudly: "I have one more thing to announce, that is, from today on, my name will be Cheng, Xiao, Xiao!"

There was silence in the room, and everyone looked at her in unison. They didn't understand why the topic jumped to naming, and they hadn't recovered yet.

Cheng Hao was the first to react, "Da Ya, did you ask the elders of the clan to get it? But you still have two years to get haircut!"

Cheng Rong also said: "There is no one in our village who has been given a famous name before he has hairpin! Nowadays, if you go out with a name, you will be criticized."

Even Cheng Dahua, who had no sense of presence, spoke up, "Daya, you are not following the rules. Grandpa, the patriarch, will not agree."

In fact, Cheng Dahua asked this out of selfishness. She is already 14, one year older than Da Ya, and she doesn't even have a name yet!

The uncle's family does not agree, but Cheng Lao'er's family believes that everything Da Ya says is right. Cheng Da Ya had more say in the family before, but now she is more outstanding and naturally gets the support of the whole family.

"Uncle, please stop talking. My life is my own and I have the right to make the decision. Besides, what is calling but not calling?

Just think of it as a celebration of my surviving life, and use a new name to get rid of the bad luck."

Since Da Ya has said so, it's hard for them to say anything. This time Da Ya suffered a serious crime and she chose a new name to get rid of the bad luck. The clan leaders probably won't say anything!

"Okay, I will go to the clan leader to report it tomorrow," Father Cheng supports his daughter, as long as her daughter is well!

"Sister, we support you." Cheng Jia admired Sister even more, she is courageous.

In this way, Xiao Cheng officially changed her name to Cheng Xiaoxiao. This is her new life, and she will shine here in the future.

He was in a good mood, "Wish me a new life, and wish our medicine business success, let's work together!" He said with a cheering gesture.

Everyone didn't understand it very well, so they followed it, and they also hoped to succeed.

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao planted a seed called "hope" in their hearts. Years later, when I think of today's scene, it is still fresh in my memory and filled with emotion.

In the next few days, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't go out. She even went to the toilet with Erya. She had already abused the IOU in her hand a thousand times.

Forget it, I guess that person didn't run away so quickly.

These days, Cheng Xiaoxiao has been busy making night morning glory. Yes, her father has successfully picked a basket of them for her to use as a test sample. The uncle's family comes to watch from time to time.

Night Morning Glory, also known as star swab, branch herb, is about 20 to 80 cm tall. The stem is upright, weak, with few branches, and has a long flowering period. It can be used as medicine for the whole body. It is a famous typhoid grass. It can clear away heat and dampness, detoxify, and is good for fever or

All acute hepatitis cases have certain curative effects.

Pick out impurities and remove the remaining stems, wash them, moisten them slightly, stir-fry them over a slow fire until they are no longer sticky to your hands, take them out and let them cool, cut them into small pieces and dry them in the sun.

Looking at the cooked night morning glory, Cheng Xiaoxiao was very satisfied. It seemed that her craftsmanship had not deteriorated yet.

Ten days later, Cheng Xiaoxiao was finally able to go out. This time she followed her father to the town market to sell herbs.

Early in the morning, before dawn, I was ready to go out. Along with me was my eldest brother Cheng Rong. He was probably afraid that the little girl would not be able to hold up the scene, and the second uncle was not very good at talking, so he came to suppress the scene.

Looking at the bullock cart parked at the entrance of the village, Cheng Xiaoxiao rode it for the first time. It was a bit novel and a bit hard. Several people were squeezed into a cart. Is it really good?

Daddy Cheng was already chatting with Cheng Dali, who was pulling the cart, "Dali, could you please wait for us here." Daddy Cheng said politely.

"It's okay. We are all from the same village. We didn't have to wait long. Now everyone is here. Let's go. Everyone is seated." He said and raised his whip, and the ox cart started to move.

When Cheng Xiaoxiao was doing it, his butt almost broke in half, and he finally saw the gate of the town from a distance. It was not easy!

Looking at the people coming in and out, the vendors carrying poles in and out, and the guards holding spears at the door, everything is strange.

As I approached the gate, I discovered that I had to pay an entrance fee of two copper coins to enter.

Watching Cheng's father hand over the money smoothly, Cheng Xiaoxiao pouted, officials really don't do practical things, they only know how to exploit the people.
