Chapter 37
Dendrobium
Jian Rong explained, “On the road to Granny Lin’s house, there are a few citron trees growing by the side.”
Jian Qingqing recalled that although Granny Lin was also a member of the Jian Village. She lived in a very remote place and did not like to interact with the villagers. Every time she saw her, she looked fierce, so the children in the village were very afraid of her.
“Okay, when it’s ripe, you can ask me to pick it.”
While they were talking, the mushrooms in this area had already been picked.
“Let’s go, keep moving forward.”
Further ahead was a large stone wall. If the villagers wanted to build stone houses, they would come here to get stones. However, these stones were very difficult to carry, and it took a lot of effort, so very few households in the village had stone houses.
Jian Rong continued to instruct the people to move forward, but Jian Qingqing was attracted by the iron-green bamboo-like plants on the stone wall,
“This, this is…”
Jian Qingqing could not help but go forward and pull some of it down. Looking at the plants with fat joints, her heart started to beat faster.
‘Wasn’t this the Dendrobium Catenatum?!
If they had this, their village would be rich! This large stone wall was densely covered with Dendrobium Catenatum! It was known as just ‘Dendrobium’.
Jian Rong saw that Jian Qingqing did not keep up with the team, so he stopped and said, “Let’s go, Sister Qingqing, what are you doing?”
“Oh, I’m coming!” Jian Qingqing quickly followed and came to the front of the team.
“Xiao Rong, do you know what this is?” She showed Jian Rong the Dendrobium that she had just pulled out.
Jian Rong glanced at it and said casually, “Isn’t this the Black Festival Grass? There are plenty of them on the stone wall.”
“So you don’t know that this can be used as medicine?”
“What! This can also be used as medicine!”Jian Rong was shocked. These were all grass that could be seen everywhere, right? How could anything be used as medicine?
“Sister Qingqing, how do you know so many types of medicine?” Jian Rong was very curious. How did Jian Qingqing know that the wild grass that could be seen everywhere by the roadside could also be used as medicine?
Jian Qingqing took out the same trick that she had used to deceive her family. “It was a herb gatherer who told me.”
“What does the herb gatherer have to do with your family? Why did he even tell you about things you can and cannot eat?”
Jian Qingqing said vaguely, “Well, maybe he thought that I couldn’t remember when I was young, so he told me casually.”
Jian Rong was envious. “I also want to meet a herb gatherer who talks so much.”
At this moment, they just happened to walk to a place full of mushrooms. Jian Rong waved her little hand. “Little ones! Go and pick the mushrooms! After picking them, we’ll go home!”
Jian Qingqing looked at the sky. It was time to go back and cook. In order to go home quickly, she also helped to pick mushrooms.
When Jian Qingqing returned home, the workers had almost finished with the foundation for the house. She was shocked. They were so quick!
It seemed that Ma Jiacai had found the right people. They were all reliable people.
Xiao Hu had marinated the meat. The whole yard was filled with the fragrance of meat. It was still spring, so the weather was not very hot. Otherwise, the meat would go bad quite quickly, and they would have to get up early in the morning to cook it.
Jian Qingqing quickly finished cooking and called the workers over to eat.
“Let’s eat!”
“Miss Qingqing, you eat first. We’ll work for a while more. We’ll eat when the sun goes down!”
Jian Qingqing paid high wages and the food was good, so the workers worked very hard.
“Hurry up and eat now. When the sun goes down, you’ll have to go home.”
The workers thought of their family members who were still waiting for them to go back, so they did not decline.
