Xi Ningyu, who returned to the old house, had dinner and was about to enter the inner room, when he saw Uncle Wen walking in with two and a half-sized small backpacks on his face.

"Miss, do you think these two are suitable? If they are older, I will re-made a smaller one tomorrow and you will play with it." Uncle Wen said as if coaxing a child.

Xi Ningyu looked up at the two backpacks in Uncle Wen's hand. They were really small. The fine and dense bamboo strips were tightly intertwined into a cylinder, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The two backpacks were carved with rags for several times. This was probably because Xue's mother was worried about the wear of her shoulders. Even the edges of the Hsinchu strips were polished. Such a small backpack showed that Uncle Wen's family was concerned about the original owner, less than half of them were one foot wide. She was just not thumping her legs on her back. She probably wouldn't get in the way of walking on her back. Looking at the two backpacks, Xi Ningyu felt warm in her heart, and thought about the care of her mother Xue's mother for herself. Although they didn't know that the body had changed her soul, the sincerity of the pair was real. After spending so many days together, Xi Ningyu gradually accepted the two old people.

"I'm really troubled Uncle Wen. I like these two baskets tightly! Look at me, I can't help with anything. I'm still troublesome. You and Mama Xue can take the two baskets and thank Uncle Wen with a smile.

"Miss, don't say that. You just like these two backpacks. As for what causes trouble, don't say it anymore. I think the eldest lady takes care of our family when she is here. How can we say it if we don't have time to repay you? Miss, as long as you like my old Wen's skills, you can just say whatever you need to make up." Uncle Wen said sincerely.

Xi Ningyu looked at Uncle Wen so warmly, so he thanked him again. Then he remembered that since the backpack was ready so quickly, he would go to pick herbs tomorrow, so he asked: "Uncle Wen, are there any small hoes or shovels that can be used at home?"

"Miss, why do you want these things? You said I will do it tomorrow, so how can you worry about it? If you want to take care of some flowers and plants in the yard, then I will buy some seeds outside tomorrow and I will plant them for you. Those hoes and shovels cannot be used by you. What if you hurt yourself!" Uncle Wen didn't dare to let Xi Ningyu do it, so he took care of them.

"No, I don't want those guys that adults use to farm. I just want the smaller ones that can be brought with you easily. Just like the ones I saw the children next door playing in my hands a few days ago." Xi Ningyu said to Uncle Wen with a funny and touching look at Uncle Wen.

"You said those kids playing with mud? There are those. But what do you want to do with this, Miss?" Uncle Wen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's nothing. Today, I went out to play with Yu'er and saw some flowers growing beautifully, so I wanted to dig them back another day."

"That's it, then I'll get it for you now. Wait." Uncle Wen agreed to turn around and get it for Xi Ningyu when he saw that it was nothing important.

After breakfast the next morning, Xi Ningyu and Yuer went out to Mangshan to collect herbs with small baskets on their backs.

"Miss, will we take the medicine to the pharmacy shop after we pick it?" Yu'er asked.

"Of course not. We need to make medicine first when we pick the medicine. That is, we use different methods to make the medicines that can be used as prescriptions so that the medicine shops will be charged at a high price. Although some of the newly picked medicinal materials and medicine shops cannot charge much lower prices, they are still worth it." Xi Ningyu patiently popularized some simple herb collection knowledge to Yuer...

Along the way, the fish kept asking questions about herbs and medicines like hundreds of thousands of whys, and Xi Ningyu also explained them patiently.

When we arrived at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, Xi Ningyu and Yuer collected some dandelions, Artemisia annua, and motherwort that could be seen everywhere. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we started digging Polygonum multiflorum. After teaching Yu Er to identify and collect Polygonum multiflorum, Xi Ningyu planned to go to the forest to collect marijuana and mulberry parasites. These two medicinal materials are also more commonly used and are easy to use.

Today, when Xi Ningyu went out, she specially asked Yuer to prepare a small set of men's clothing, in order to collect some high-level medicinal materials to facilitate her movements. So when Xi Ningyu arrived at the place where she collected these two medicinal materials, she rolled up her sleeves and started.

Xi Ningyu and Yuer, who had been busy for more than two hours, harvested a lot of medicinal herbs, so they saw that it was already past noon. They were hungry when they went out without lunch, so they packed up the medicinal herbs and tools they collected and prepared to go home.

Xue’s mother, who was sitting by the window sewing clothes, looked up and saw Xi Ningyu and Yuer walking in covered in dust. She quickly threw down the work in her hand and walked out and asked, “Oh, my lady, what’s going on? Could it be that she fell again?”

"No, Mother Xue. With me watching the lady, how could the lady fall?" Yu'er quickly said, afraid that Mother Xue would complain again!

"Then... your body is like..." Xue's mother asked again.

Yuer, who didn't know whether he should say it, turned his head to look at Xi Ningyu.

"It's okay, we've dug some medicinal materials outside. We kept digging into the soil and there might be no dust. Mother Xue, don't worry." Xi Ningyu felt that there was nothing to hide and said the truth.

"Digging medicine? Miss, why do you need to dig medicine? Is it because you are uncomfortable there?" Xue's mother looked at Xi Ningyu with an anxious look on her face, reached out to touch her head and turned her around and looked up and down.

"Mama Xue!" Xi Ningyu stood still and shouted, preventing himself from continuing to be tricked into circles like a gyroscope.

"Mom Xue, let's talk in the room. Yu'er and I were a little tired after digging medicine for a long time. We carried back so we could put it down first." Xi Ningyu really felt a little tired, so he quickly led the person to the west wing where he lived. As he walked, he thought that this body really needed to be properly conditioned. He felt that he couldn't hold on to such a small thing, and he really couldn't accept it.

"Okay, Miss. Come and give me this basket, I'll help you get it to the kitchen to put it in." Seeing that Xi Ningyu's face showed fatigue, Xue's mother quickly reached out to take the basket.

"No, just put it in the yard. After a while, after dinner, I will take a break and I will have a job to do. Mom Xue, please help me greet Uncle Wen. Let him prepare some rice wine for me, and I will use it later." Xi Ningyu said.

"There is a yellow wine family, but I don't know if it's enough. I'll go and see how much is left. Miss, then you can rest in the house first, and I'll go cook now. Let the fish serve you to wash it off immediately..." After saying that, Mother Xue turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Xi Ningyu stretched his waist and told Yu'er to lie down for a while, and to wait for the meal to work on the medicinal materials. After picking two baskets of medicinal materials, it would take two days to handle them. It would take five or six days to send them to the medicine shop for silver. However, thinking that there was finally a way out for him to make money, Xi Ningyu was still happy even though he was tired. He suddenly came to this strange world, completely unfamiliar. Xi Ningyu was still a little scared and helpless. Now that he found a way to support himself, he could finally make himself feel more at ease.

After lying for about half an hour, Xue's mother came in with a few dishes and a small basin of brown rice and asked Xi Ningyu and Yu'er to use it. By the way, she told Xi Ningyu that there was about one pound of rice wine left at home. If it was not enough, please let Uncle Wen go and sell some wine.

Xi Ningyu thought that the Polygonum multiflorum dug out would still have to be prepared, so he decided to ask Uncle Wen to sell some rice wine for later use. He also told Uncle Wen to help knit it. After all, after seeing Uncle Wen's craftsmanship, Xi Ningyu still admired her very much. She also had to help with some of the strengths she had when she was drying medicine, so Xi Ningyu told Mother Xue at the same time. He asked her to tell Uncle Wen that because she was busy for a while, Xi Ningyu had no time to say it. It just happened that Uncle Wen went out to sell the woven backpacks but had not come back yet, so he could only tell Mother Xue first.

"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?" Seeing that what she said was the work that her man did, Xue's mother asked Xi Ningyu a little anxiously, fearing that she would not be able to help.

"Of course, you are a must-have, Mother Xue. I'm afraid you'll be too busy for a while." Xi Ningyu said with a slightly embarrassed face and a slightly red face, pulling Mother Xue's sleeve.

When Xue's mother heard that she could help, she agreed with a smile. After all, she really felt sorry for Xi Ningyu's family. Although she had already taken back the documents she sold was not considered a slave. But she had no idea of ​​avoiding things at all. She was afraid that she would not be able to help her.

So Xi Ningyu, who had rested, took Yuer and Xue's mother to start cooking these herbs. It should be spread out and dried. When it was time to cut the sections, it was more troublesome to prepare Polygonum multiflorum. It should be sliced ​​first and then mixed with rice wine and left for three hours, and then steamed for a few hours. Then dry it half-dried, then collect the juice and continue steaming until it turns black and then dry or dry before it can be sold. So Xi Ningyu planned to slice all the Polygonum multiflorum that was dug today and then mix it well with rice wine, and then continue to make other preparation steps tomorrow.
