A husband found in the village? I bought a regent for a penny!

Chapter 448 Are you giving this medicine to yourself?

Gu Xixi recalled that when she first transmigrated into the book, she saw that there were only thirty coins in this box.

It's almost full now.

She not only preserved the land and houses left by Gu Bapi, but also bought the estate and even more land belonging to others.

My father loved acquiring land and property during his lifetime. If he were alive, he would be very happy.

Although Gu Xixi had a good idea of ​​how much money was in the box, she still counted it again.

It was previously agreed that the land would be allocated by the government and that no rent would be charged for five years, which was already a huge support.

Therefore, all the financial investment required to start a tea plantation must be paid by private individuals.

For example, the wages and food expenses for the current land reclamation, and the transportation costs for handling miscellaneous items, etc.

In the future, the wages of fixed employees in the tea plantation will be used to improve the soil with large amounts of fertilizer and pesticides.

Purchasing tea seedlings and rootstocks in early autumn is the biggest expense.

After that, we need to build tea-making workshops, open up our own trade routes, and connect with transportation...

In short, these are all necessary expenses before the tea plantation can generate profits.

Before Gu Xixi even started to calculate the details, she already foresaw that the box full of money in front of her would be spent like water.

An Qinghe was a partner who had been chosen long ago, and He Jinglan had also said she wanted to invest.

It's time to discuss how the three people should invest and how much each should invest.

Gu Xixi locked the box again and hid it in the same place.

She opened a paper and pen on the table and began to write and draw.

As the sun set, Aunt Zhang sat in the yard picking green beans.

After finishing his homework, Shi Tou consciously brought over a small stool to help Aunt Zhang.

Every time he broke off a bean with a worm in it, he would happily pick it out and put the plump worm into the jar.

Aunt Zhang grinned in disgust, "What's the point of having that disgusting thing?"

"They even kept it like a treasure."

Stone laughed and said, "Go fishing for shrimp over by the canal. Shrimp love to eat live insects."

"I'll keep them in a jar for now. Once I've collected enough, I'll go fishing for a whole basin of shrimp tomorrow and stir-fry them!"

Several irrigation ditches in the village are filled with clear water flowing down from the mountains.

Every summer, small shrimp can occasionally be seen in the irrigation ditch, but they are only about the length of a little finger.

Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "Those shrimp? One wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap."

"How many fish would you have to catch to fill a basin? It's no trouble at all."

Despite her words, Aunt Zhang didn't interfere excessively with how Shi Tou played with the stones.

In any case, the irrigation canal in the village can be easily stepped across with one foot, and the water is only ankle-deep, so there is no danger.

It's hot in summer, but cool by the canal.

Not only do children love to play there, but women also linger there for a long time, washing their clothes and chatting as they go.

The colors of the sunset deepened to a golden-red hue, and the horizon began to darken.

Just then, the old doctor returned.

He had a medicine box slung over his shoulder and a string of paper packets in his hand.

Stone, with his sharp eyes, recognized the red paper seals of the fruit and pastry shops in the city from afar.

He dropped the green beans and ran over excitedly, shouting, "Grandpa Doctor! Stone will help you get your medicine box!"

The old doctor, with a kind face, said with a smile, "Your medicine box is a bit heavy today, take this."

He then handed over the string of paper packets.

He held the stone in both hands, tilting his head to the left and right to look at it.

"Grandpa Doctor bought so many delicious things! There are candied fruits, right? I can smell the sweet fruit aroma."

The old doctor laughed, "Your nose is almost as beautiful as Xiaohua's."

Xiao Hua strolled over to Aunt Zhang's feet, sat down, and began licking her fur.

In the afternoon, after Xiaohua had played outside enough, she would squat under the big locust tree at the village entrance and wait.

As soon as the old doctor reached the village entrance, Little Flower meowed and walked up to him to greet him, and the man and the cat accompanied each other on their way home.

Aunt Zhang had finished picking the green beans. She got up and took the old doctor's medicine box, saying, "Why did you walk back?"

"They sent you a carriage when you went there because they needed your help, but they made you walk back on your own?"

"The heat hasn't subsided even this evening!"

His tone clearly indicated he was unhappy.

The old doctor quickly explained, "The Wang family did say they would send me back, but I still need to visit a few other families."

"I couldn't very well make their carriage wait for me again."

"Besides," he smiled at Aunt Zhang, "this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; I just wanted to buy some snacks."

Stone had already placed the paper package on the small table, then turned to ask, "Grandpa Doctor, may I open it?"

The old doctor nodded repeatedly, "Of course, everyone can eat the things I buy for the family."

Stone excitedly explored what was inside the paper package, shouting loudly:

"Sister Xixi! Sister Jingjing, come out quickly! Grandpa Doctor brought some delicious food!"

The old doctor reached into his medicine box and pulled out another paper package, still sealed with the same red seal.

He smiled and handed the things to Aunt Zhang, saying, "I remember you once said that you ate candied bayberries from the South when you were a child, and you haven't seen them since."

"I heard the two young girls from the Wang family eating this today. When I asked them, I learned that the fruit and pastry shop had just received some new stock."

"Try it and see if it still tastes the same as before."

Aunt Zhang felt inexplicably hot as she looked at the old doctor's outstretched hand.

"This……"

"I was just saying it casually, why did you take it seriously?"

The old doctor smiled broadly, "It's hot, and this sweet and sour stuff is appetizing and can improve your appetite. Keep it and eat it slowly."

At this moment, Gu Xixi and Lü Jing both came out of their respective rooms.

Aunt Zhang felt even more embarrassed when she saw the two of them, but she didn't want to leave the situation awkward.

She snatched the paper bag from her hand and said, "I'm already this old, not a child anymore. Why would I need someone to buy me snacks?"

"Next time, next time don't waste money!"

Aunt Zhang picked up the sorted green beans and fled into the kitchen as if escaping.

Watching the old doctor walk towards the backyard, Gu Xixi called out loudly, "Master, I have a prescription I'm unsure about. Could you take a look after we've eaten?"

"Understood." The old doctor's voice came from the backyard.

Gu Xixi and Lü Jing looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

Lü Jing: "Shi Tou said that Aunt Zhang treats you like a child, and I think the old doctor also treats Aunt Zhang like a child."

Gu Xixi smiled, "Perhaps."

Night falls in the backyard.

Two bowls of sweet tofu pudding, which Gu Xixi had just brought, were placed on the table.

After Gu Xixi read part of the prescription, the old doctor frowned and remained silent for a moment.

When he raised his head again, he looked as if he was having difficulty speaking.

"Xixi..."

“My master is a doctor, so there are some things I should ask him.”

If you are really in a difficult position, you may choose not to answer.

Gu Xixi didn't think anything of it, picked up the tofu pudding and took a bite, "Master, please ask."

The old doctor took a deep breath and lowered his voice slightly, "Is this prescription for your own use?"

puff!

Gu Xixi almost spat out her mouthful of tofu. "Master~!"

The old doctor looked worried. "You and Xiao Mu have progressed to this point, why are you still unwilling to get married?"

"Although your prescription uses mild medicine, it must be used daily to ensure that it will not cause any problems."

"Using it for a long time will inevitably harm your health!"
