Chapter 168 Be Careful of Getting Scratched
Generally speaking, the processed yam is mild in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of nourishing the spleen and stomach, promoting fluid and benefiting the lungs, and nourishing the kidneys and astringing essence.
Among all the medicinal materials, this one is the most consumed. As long as he is not in the hall, his time is all spent on processing medicinal materials. If Mrs. Bai can send yam slices, it will save him a lot of trouble.
Bai Yunxi listened and thought about it. Yams contain a lot of water, and processing them will waste a lot.
One catty of fresh yam can be processed into two to three taels of medicinal materials. One catty of yam slices requires five catties of fresh yam. In addition, it takes time to dig and dry manually, so the price of five hundred coins to one guan of money is acceptable.
Yams are wild. In addition to the effort, the raw materials are free, and it only wastes some firewood.
"Okay, when the busy farming season is over, I will process some and send them to you.
It is always good to have one more source of income. Anyway, her family only has one acre of sweet potatoes left to harvest, and there is nothing else, so they can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.
"Then it's a deal. "
Bai Yunxi said goodbye to Doctor Cheng and asked Li to carry the eggs. The two walked back to the street. Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, Bai Yunxi was thinking about what gift to give Hu Zi in return.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
Li was carrying a basket. Didn't she say she was going to buy cotton? Those things are at the west end of the town.
"I was thinking, we received a basket of eggs from someone, what kind of gift should we give in return?" They were not rich families, so it would be inappropriate to take too much.
Li looked at the basket in her hand and was very curious, "Mom, what's going on? Tell me about it?"
She was really shocked to receive a basket of gifts as soon as she arrived in the town.
"Nothing, it was just that when I came to sell autumn pear paste yesterday, I happened to meet a child with a trachea stuck..."
Bai Yunxi walked and narrated what happened yesterday to Li,
"For mother, it was just a piece of cake. Since you have received a gift, it is polite to give an appropriate gift in return."
After being shocked, Li blinked her eyes, "Mom, you are amazing. Why don't you buy some millet for the child as a return gift? It's easy to digest and nourishing to cook porridge with, and it's good for children."
In Li's heart, the best things are inseparable from food.
Bai Yunxi listened to Li's suggestion and looked at her with a smile. Yes, how could she forget that there was millet in the locker?
"Li, pick the eggs into the basket and free up the basket."
"Hey~"
After Li picked the eggs into the basket, Bai Yunxi directly told her, "You wait here, I'll go visit by myself and come back soon. It's not appropriate for you to carry the basket."
"Okay, mother, you go and come back soon. "
Li nodded. Her mother was right. If the other party accepted all the eggs and millet, wouldn't they lose out?
Bai Yunxi looked at her and curled the corners of her lips. She was such an obedient child.
She carried the basket and walked for a while. She turned into Yangshu Hutong. When there was no one around, she put five catties of millet in a small cloth bag and put it in the basket. She continued to walk in with the basket.
It was not until she met the old lady sitting at the door that she asked her about the location of Huzi's house.
The old lady looked Bai Yunxi up and down and pointed to the front.
"It's the second house forward. Let me tell you, it was splashed by the eldest sister-in-law. She's been making a fuss these two days. She's been arguing every day. Be careful or she'll scratch your face."
"Thank you, old lady. I'll go take a look." Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched. Sure enough, the old lady was well-informed.
