Chapter 263 Vicious Female Supporting Escapes to Farm (13)

  Xu Yin simply used the herbs dug up by Chen Mancang and others to cook two crock pots full of granules, and distributed them to those with symptoms.

  The yamen servants also came over to ask for a few bowls.

   Those who are asymptomatic and did not participate in digging herbs, can't help but regret it at this time.

   After tidying up and continuing on their way, they crowded beside Xu Yin and asked flatteringly, "Little brother, we will go dig herbs later, can you make some soup for us?"

   "Yes." Xu Yin nodded.

  Willing to work hard, she is not stingy with a few packs of granules.

   What's more, like the herbs that Chen Mancang and the others dug back, they helped her light up three illustrated books in one morning.

  According to this rhythm, "Chinese Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book" will soon be able to light up the entire book, pass the level thoroughly, and get random skill rewards.

   Among them, [Fenghancao] is a medicine that blindly prevents wind and cold, and it can be used with a few ingredients after drying. So even if you finish drinking the cold granules, you don't have to worry about diseases such as wind and cold.

   We drove for another two days.

  During this period, more and more people went to fields and mountains to dig herbs to exchange soup with Xu Yin during their breaks.

  Xu Yin cooks two pots every morning and evening: one pot is still a granule for treating wind-cold, wind-heat and cold, and is given to patients with obvious symptoms; the other pot is a Chinese patent medicine that focuses on prevention and improves immunity.

   When it was boiled, mountain spring water from Lingxuzong was added.

  Perhaps those few bowls of decoction cured the yamen servant’s cold symptoms, and he didn’t feel drowsy on a business trip. When he was happy, he found a piece of wasteland nearby to resettle the victims: “Here it is!”

  The victims cheered happily when they heard that they didn't need to go to further mountainous areas to open up wasteland.

   What is even more gratifying is that the imperial court also distributed a batch of relief food to the victims of land reclamation. It's just that the yamen servants said that they will be shipped in batches, probably because they are afraid that they will take the food and run away.

   The yamen servant headed by him came over to Xu Yin before returning to his business and said, "You have some skills! Hurry up and I will find an opportunity to say something nice to you in front of the county magistrate."

  Xu Yin cupped her hands and said thanks.

  Erlang tugged at her sleeve.

What's wrong? She looked inquiringly.

  Erlang looked at her with a bit of hatred for iron and steel, so he just did it himself.

  He came over with a small bundle containing several liters of rice, and presented it to the yamen servant respectfully.

The yamen servant laughed loudly: "Xu Yingxiong, your little brother is quite clever! But I am not here to ask you for a reward, I just came to say goodbye to you. If I have a headache and brain fever in the future and come looking for you, just don't refuse! "

  Xu Yin had just realized that, after sending the yamen servant away, she gave Erlang a half-smile look: "You know a lot at such a young age!"

  Erlang curled his lips: "It's because my brother has too little eyesight!"

   "..."

Hey! This kid even hates her!

   "By the way, Erlang, you have the potential to mess with the officialdom, hurry up and find a husband for you to enlighten you and teach you how to read?"

  Erlang stared at her blankly.

   "What's the matter?" Xu Yin was puzzled, and baldly patted his forehead, "Don't you like reading?"

   "I like it! I like it!" Erlang said hastily, "It's just that reading is expensive."

  When his parents were alive, they were not willing to send him to the scholar’s ​​family to learn how to read and write. At that time, a year’s Shuxiu cost two bacon, which must be more expensive now.

   "You don't need to worry about money, I have it!" Xu Yin said.

   She really has no shortage of gold and silver, and there are mountains of them in the system warehouse.

  The barren land where the yamen servants settled them was at the foot of a firewood mountain.

  Although it is not a rocky mountain that is difficult to drive, and it is not too far from the nearest village, it is not much better—the yellow mud is mixed with sand and gravel, and it is also an inferior place to drive out.

  The victims couldn't help worrying: "Even if such a poor land is developed, how much harvest can I get in a year? After three years, it will be classified as ordinary land, and it may not be enough to pay taxes."

   "Then what should we do? Everyone is here! Are you going to retreat and go back to Tongxing Mansion now?"

   "If you don't open up wasteland, will you lose the relief food? My family is running out of food, what will I eat in the future?"

   "My family is similar. I don't know if it will rain in Tongxing Mansion. If it is still dry, not only will there be no water to drink when I go back, but I will also be hungry. Why don't we stay and try, at least wait until the relief food is received."

   Having said that, everyone stayed again, and began to work dejectedly.

  The middle-aged man took his young son up the mountain to cut wood and build a house.

  In case of the heavy rain two days before the event, there is no mountain temple for them to hide in, and the foothold must be covered as soon as possible.

  The housewives took the elderly and children to circle the wasteland, pull weeds, and pick up stones.

  Because it is an inferior land, the weeds grow sparsely, and there is no one to open up wasteland in a large area. No matter how many victims there are, there will be enough.

   What's more, most people just want to receive relief food and make do with the drought in their hometown, and they are not willing to work hard to open up wasteland.

  Xu Yin took the two children to find a piece of land with a wide view, and proudly stated that she wanted this piece of land.

Erlang was a little dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, there are only three people in our family. Why do we open such a large piece of wasteland? The land here is not good. Didn't you say that we can go home when the eldest brother comes back after the year? Or we can make do with it, Enclose an acre of land and plant some sweet potatoes!"

  Although I always eat sweet potatoes and fart.

  He held back the words in his stomach.

  Xu Yin picked up a handful of yellow soil, a small handful, mixed with a lot of gravel and sand.

  This land is not very good, but she has planted worse land.

   Sand watermelons, sand potatoes, and occasionally some drought-resistant crops such as corn, she has thought about it.

  【Ding—there is no land that can’t be planted, only people who can’t plant it! Cracking inferior land rewards random skills]

  【Ding—how can there be no herbal medicine for curing diseases and saving lives? Every acre of herbs planted rewards 100 energy points]

  Receiving two tasks in a row, Xu Yin couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

  The dog system wants her to cultivate herbs artificially?

   It’s not impossible!

  Xu Yin opened the "Illustrated Book of Chinese Herbal Medicine", looked at ten lines at a glance, and found four or five kinds of herbs suitable for planting in sandy soil.

  Ginseng, Fritillaria, Astragalus, Codonopsis...

   Plant them!

  Having a direction, Xu Yin's spirit doubled, and she held the two children and said:

   "My sister-in-law is strong, and she is idle even if she is idle. You will not suffer if you open more land. Let's go! Let's pick a homestead! Where do you like to live? Closer to the mountains or closer to the village?"

  Erlang and Third Sister were fooled by her few words.

  One morning, Chen Mancang took the men from the same village up the mountain to cut down more than a dozen trees and chiseled several baskets of large rocks.

   It is reasonable to say that the newly felled wood cannot be used to build a house, but right now they have no place to live, so they can only make do with it, which is better than being exposed to the rain.

  Temporary residences are not so particular: stones are used as foundations, wood is used as beams and columns, and yellow mud mixed with clay is used as wall mud.

  Many people are powerful. If it does not rain, several houses like this can be built in a day.

  Chen Mancang specially came over and said to Xu Yin: "Brother Hero, we will build your house for you. Have you chosen a good place?"

  Xu Yin stroked her high sleeves and said, "I'll do the foundation myself, and you'll have to help me put up the beam later."

  Chen Mancang looked at her white and smooth arms, was stunned for a while, then recovered and said: "You have thin arms and legs, you don't do heavy work at first glance, let it go, let's come..."

   Before he finished speaking, Xu Yin picked up the shovel and quickly dug the foundation. After digging, he went to the side and picked up a large stone that required two people to lift.

  Chen Mancang: "..."

   Are you blind?

  He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and saw that Xu Yin was not only walking with a stone basket, but also buckled upside down with one hand, pouring the stones onto the dug foundation. It seems that instead of stones in the basket, there are radishes.

   What surprised him even more was that the heroic little brothers took turns bouncing on those big rocks, and saw that those rocks were visibly smoothed to the naked eye...

   "Kang Lang..."

  The **** in Chen Mancang's hand fell to the ground, almost hitting Erlang's instep.

  Erlang jumped away in disgust: "Uncle Mancang! You lost your hoe!"

   "Oh." Chen Mancang just came back to his senses, and said in disbelief, "My dear! Your brother is too strong! You really can't judge by appearance..."

  Erlang turned his back and snickered.

   It's not his brother, but his sister-in-law!
