In order to relieve himself from the heavy preparation work, Gu Ye came up with the idea of asking two people to help. The little girl in the village, she has more contact with these two. Compared with the Li family, she believes in the character of the two more.

When she offered a salary of fifteen yuan a day and asked the two of them to help. Gu Lier's head shook like a rattle: "My sister, what is it to do a favor, how can I ask for your salary?" If I agreed, it would be strange if I didn't get scolded to death by my mother when I went back! My mother is closer to you than to me, and I don't know who is her biological child! ”

"That's because I'm beautiful and well-behaved, and everyone loves me!" Gu Ye laughed a few words, and said with a straight face, "Sister Li, Aunt Ying, you listen to me." There is a lot of demand for medicinal materials in Jimintang, and my ability alone is limited, so I need help from someone I can trust! ”

Seeing that Gu Li'er and Aunt Ying were going to say something more, she continued: "You help me for free, it's okay for a day or two." When every family is busy in the spring, why am I embarrassed to delay you planting and picking wild vegetables? If Jimintang's order can't be completed, I will have to compensate the family a large amount of money. ”

"What? Still losing money? How much does it cost? Gu Li'er's eyes widened.

"Double the compensation, less than a few hundred, more than a thousand!" In my memory, these two little girls were very good to the original owner and often secretly stuffed things for her to eat. The two of them are also living in poverty, and it is really valuable to be able to save a mouthful or two of food from their mouths. When Gu Ye hired the Li family's mother and daughter, she thought about how to help these two kind-hearted little girls.

"What!! To lose so much? Gu Li'er jumped up suddenly, and Aunt Ying's face was also full of incredulity. Gu Li'er bit her lip and asked, "Jimin Hall is so dark!" Ye'er, isn't there a Baicaotang in the town, and our medicine doesn't have to be sold to Jimintang! ”

Gu Ye apologized for inadvertently smearing Jimintang for three seconds. In order to convince the two little girls to help, she continued to play the weak Bo Sympathy: "But...... I've signed a two-year supply agreement with them. If anyone breaches the contract, pay more liquidated damages! ”

"Ye'er, then Jimintang won't look at your youth and want to cheat you out of liquidated damages, right?! The fifth grandfather was a soldier and knew someone in the army, so let him find a relationship and cancel the contract of this pit man, right? Ying Gu pondered, as if something was not quite right, and her concern for Ye'er prevailed, and she didn't think deeply.

Gu Ye had a bitter little face: "If it could be canceled, it would have been canceled a long time ago!" Sister Li'er, Aunt Ying, come and help me! Look at me, how thin I have become. After speaking, he raised his white and tender melon seed face, and a pair of big eyes as beautiful as spring water, looking at them with sincerity, so that they couldn't bear to say anything about refusal.

"That's it, come over every afternoon! At the beginning, I gave you a salary of fifteen wen a day, and when you are proficient, it will rise to twenty wen. Look, okay? Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, like a cat basking in the sun in winter.

Gu Lier was a little puzzled: "Why did you only come here in the afternoon?" In addition to the morning, isn't it possible to make more medicinal herbs? ”

"In the morning, I want to read medical books and practice acupuncture! If you regress, the master will come back and scold! Gu Ye made a scared expression and successfully amused the two little girls.

Gu Li'er rolled her eyes, looked at Aunt Ying, covered her mouth and snickered: "Ye'er, Aunt Ying can't help you for long." She's going to marry outside the mountains at the end of the year! ”

Qingshan Village is too isolated, the traffic is inconvenient, and some girls are not valued at home, and it is difficult to go to the town several times in their lives. Being able to marry outside the mountains is a beautiful dream for the little girls in Qingshan Village. Yinggu's appearance and temper are among the best in the village, and it is an enviable thing to be able to say to the descendants of the villages on the outskirts of the town.

Yinggu patted Gu Li'er lightly and lowered her head shyly. She only met her fiancé once on a blind date, although her appearance was not outstanding, she was tall and strong, and she was capable at first glance. Although the family has a large population, life is a little tighter. However, my mother said that the people of life lived out. That family has a good family style, the family is diligent, and life will always get better! Overall, she is still very satisfied with this fiancé.

Gu Ye looked at Aunt Ying playfully, and teased: "There are still eight or nine months to go, and Aunt Ying can save more dowry for herself!" "No, eight months can save at least five taels of silver. Villagers, marrying five taels of silver is already a big deal!

"If you say it again, I'll be annoyed!" Yinggu's face was as red as the morning glow on the horizon, and a shy smile bloomed on her lips. Even the coarse old clothes can't hide her beautiful appearance, no wonder the man doesn't dislike her for being from the mountains, and she fell in love at a glance!

The three of them talked and laughed, and they didn't delay the pharmaceutical. A basket of slices of firewood is dipped in rice vinegar, and the smell of vinegar and medicine in the pharmacy is accompanied by the laughter of the little girls, which is as crisp as copper bells. In the small courtyard, there is a bit of vitality.

Widow Li's mother and daughter, who were dealing with raw chaihu in the backyard, heard this burst of laughter. While cleaning the firewood, Widow Li glanced at her daughter and said, "Listen to the voices of Li'er and Yinggu." Didn't you have a good relationship with them before? Why don't you go over and say hello? ”

Li Xiuhong, who was cleaning up the impurities and residual stems in the firewood, paused for a moment, then stood up, picked up a basket of dried firewood, and walked back to the front yard quickly.

Li Xiuhong came to the door of the pharmacy and saw that Gu Lier and Aunt Ying were also busy in the pharmacy, and were stunned for a moment. In her heart, the pharmacy is a heavy place and a forbidden place.

Every time she sent medicine in, she hurried in and out, not daring to stay for a moment. When she came in, she also tried to avoid the time when Gu Ye concocted medicinal materials, for fear of causing any unnecessary misunderstandings.

She didn't expect that Gu Ye would easily let people into the pharmacy and allow others to help her concoct it. Isn't she afraid that the methods of pharmaceuticals will leak out?

"Xiuhong, the village chief's grandfather said that if the weather is warm in a few days, he will help you repair the house. You'll be able to move back into your own home soon! Gu Lier walked up to her and reached out to pick up the basket in her hand.

Li Xiuhong sideways avoided her hand, looked at her deeply, did not speak, but squeezed past her and placed the basket on the south shelf.

Gu Lier was stunned for a moment, and withdrew her hand - Li Xiuhong seemed to be a little happy. Isn't it a joy to be able to go back to your own home and no longer have to send someone under the fence?

Gu Ye, who was teaching Yinggu to use scales on the side, didn't notice the interaction between the two people. The pharmacy is not big, and when Gu Ye operated it alone, he didn't think it either. Now that there are three more little girls, it seems crowded.

She sighed and said, "The pharmacy is still too small!" After the busy season of spring farming, I asked the uncle in the village to build a pharmacy on the west side of the yard. This room is dedicated to pharmaceuticals. ”

Gu Lier nodded and agreed: "I also think that the place is a little small, and I can't turn around!" When the time comes, there will be at least three such consoles, and we will compete to see who is the fastest! ”

"It's not okay to be fast! Quality is also important! Ying Gu glanced at her, "Don't smash Ye'er's signboard." Have you forgotten, how did Dr. Wu's leg break? ”

Gu Lier stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "That's nature!" Do you still need to say it? ”

Li Xiuhong couldn't help frowning when she heard this. What do they mean by what they say? Is this to come to help in the long term? She knew that Gu Li'er and Aunt Ying were closer to Gu Ye than herself. Gu Ye won't dismiss her mother and her, and let these two replace them, right? Thinking like this, Li Xiuhong looked at Gu Ye with apprehension.

In the past month or so, she and her mother have earned nearly one or two silvers. The hands are more comfortable, and the family's food has also improved a lot. In the past, when the green and yellow were not harvested, their family could only mix half full of wild vegetable paste or rice bran porridge twice a day. Now, coarse grain cakes can fill your stomach.

This time Gu Wuye went to the town, and his mother gave him thirty yuan, asking him to bring back a pound of pork, saying that it was to improve the food for her and her younger brother. Thirty yuan, but in the past, I had to save for a long time, and I could only see meat during the New Year all year round. And now, a pound of pork is just a day's wages for the two of them. Their family feels that their days are rushing!

If they lose this lucrative job, they will have to go back to the hard times they used to have. Li Xiuhong clenched her hand tightly, and couldn't help but start to tremble.

Gu Ye took half a basket of Chuanbei's mother and gave it to her, and advised: "Sister Xiuhong, after getting those firewood, you can help me remove the impurities in Chuanbeili and clean it with a dry cloth." Do not soak in water, it will cause the loss of the active ingredients in the medicine. ”

Li Xiuhong took over Chuan Fritillary in a distracted manner, and she didn't know how she went back to the backyard. Widow Li had just finished washing her bupleurum and soaked it in water. She saw her daughter's uneasiness and asked softly, "Xiuhong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Xiuhong didn't want her mother to worry, so she smiled and said, "No, it's nothing." Ye'er said that these Sichuan fritillaries should be cleaned...... "What should I do after removing impurities?" Soak? She heard Ye'er say the word "soaking" in a trance.

When Li Xiuhong took the cleaned Chuanbei and returned to the pharmacy, Gu Ye looked at the wet Chuanbei and didn't know what to do. Today, what happened to Sister Xiuhong? It seems that there is something on the mind.

"What's wrong? Am I getting something wrong? Gu Ye's expression made Li Xiuhong nervous.

Gu Ye used an absorbent cloth towel to carefully wipe the water on Chuanbei, and asked with concern: "Sister Xiuhong, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nope! Li Xiuhong uneasily snatched the cloth towel in Gu Ye's hand and hurriedly wiped the mother of Chuan. She seemed to remember that Ye'er said that soaking would lose the medicinal properties. What to do? Will Ye'er catch her mistake and fire her?

"Ye'er, can these Chuanbei still be used?" Gu Li'er looked at Chuan's fritillary mother with some regret, Ye Er said that this kind of medicinal material is produced in Yanguo Shudi, and the price is not low. Look at the more than a pound in the basket, how much silver you have to lose!
