Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Chapter 60 Control of Locusts 1



"Sister-in-law Jiang, these are the top workers in our village, look..." Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law didn't finish the following words, and looked at Jiang Ling with timid eyes.

Jiang Ling smiled and welcomed the village women and Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law home. Jiang Suihe obediently moved stools for the aunts, and Jiang Ling put tools and spicy herbs in front of them.

"Sisters-in-law, you can handle these spicy herbs according to my method!" Jiang Ling said to them after demonstrating it.

These village women, you look at me, I look at you, they haven't done anything for a long time. Seeing this, Jiang Ling thought that his demonstration was not detailed enough just now. When he was going to demonstrate again, the daughter-in-law of Zhao Erling who was next to him suddenly stood up , pulled Jiang Ling to the corner.

"Jiang... Mrs. Jiang, then... didn't you say that you can give us copper coins in advance? I told them, so...you..." Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law has always been eloquent, and it is still the first time for her to hesitate like this. once.

Jiang Ling immediately understood Zhao Erlen's daughter-in-law's words, she smiled and patted Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law Erlen, don't worry, I'll go get the money right away!"

Zhao Erlen's daughter-in-law scratched her head in embarrassment and blushed and sat back down again. As soon as she returned, the village women next to her immediately went to Zhao Erlen's wife and whispered.

Jiang Ling walked into the house, carefully took out ten copper coins from the mall, and walked to Zhao Erleng's wife and the others.

The village women closed their mouths immediately after seeing Jiang Ling coming out, showing a disturbed expression.

"Sisters-in-law, this is what I told Er Leng's sister-in-law before, each of you has two copper coins per hour!" Jiang Ling put the copper coins in the hands of the five village women.

On weekdays, they are the kind who don't talk much. After getting the money, they sat on the chair with some anxiety and shook their bodies slightly.

Jiang Ling put the last two copper coins in the hands of Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law and said, "Sisters-in-law, did you all understand my demonstration just now?"

All five village women nodded, and began to busy themselves with their work without saying a word.

With the help of five people, Jiang Ling's workload has also been reduced a lot. There are already children showing up at Jiang Ling's home one after another with spicy herbs on their backs. He waved his hand to signal her to come in.

"Suihe, there are twenty copper coins here, and you are responsible for collecting the spicy grass." Jiang Ling put the twenty copper coins in Jiang Suihe's hand and said to Jiang Suihe.

"What? Mother? Me? This? This? Isn't it good?" Jiang Suihe has never touched a copper coin at such a young age. Although he had seen copper coins when he and Jiang Ling went out to do business before, Jiang Ling suddenly gave her so much today. , she is a child after all, so startled that she stood there at a loss what to do.

Jiang Ling smiled and said encouragingly: "Suihe, I believe in you, you will definitely be qualified for this job!"

Jiang Suihe raised his head, looked at Jiang Ling's encouraging eyes, looked hesitantly at the twenty copper coins in his hand, finally bit his lip and nodded to Jiang Ling, "Mother, I will not let you down!"

As he spoke, Jiang Suhe held the copper plate with both hands and walked towards a group of children.

Jiang Ling stood outside the door, leaning gently on the door, narrowing her eyes and looking seriously at Jiang Suhe not far away.

Jiang Suhe carefully inspected the mint, and at the same time called Jiang Wenxi over. Jiang Wenxi quickly took the back basket and poured the spicy grass in the corner. Jiang Suhe returned the two copper plates and the back basket. The grass was all taken back.

"Mother! There are still four copper coins!" Jiang Suihe, who had just tasted success for the first time, ran to Jiang Ling holding the remaining copper coins with an expression of excitement.

"These four copper coins, you and your sister should share them, and they will be counted as your labor income!" Jiang Ling didn't get any copper coins.

"Really? Really?" Jiang Suhe opened her mouth so wide that she could almost stuff an egg into it. She didn't expect that she would also have a copper coin.

Jiang Ling looked at the surprised Jiang Suhe and nodded with a smile.

Jiang Suihe's face is full of joy, and his eyes are very cute.

She took out two copper coins and put them in Jiang Wenxi's hands, brought the remaining copper coins in front of Jiang Ling, and said to Jiang Ling, "Mother...how about...would you save it for me?"

Jiang Ling shook her head after hearing this, and she said to Jiang Suihe with a slightly serious expression: "Suihe, you need to learn how to keep your own things now, no matter what it is, even copper coins!"

Although Jiang Suihe didn't understand, she knew that no matter what mother said, it must be right, and it was for her own good. She nodded and carefully stuffed the two copper coins into her pocket.

An hour passed quickly, Jiang Ling looked at the crushed mint grass in the pot, and carefully inspected it.

I don't know if Jiang Ling's expression was too serious, but the five village women, including Zhao Erleng's wife, looked somewhat disturbed.

"Okay, I'm qualified for today's work, sisters-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Ling said after inspecting the last pot of crushed mint grass.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that, and Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law approached Jiang Ling and asked, "Sister-in-law, then...then tomorrow?"

Jiang Ling nodded knowingly and said to everyone: "You all come back at this time tomorrow. This job will take at least one month now!"

"What? Sister-in-law... sister-in-law, you...you mean I can come here for a month?" one of the village women asked in disbelief.

Jiang Ling nodded and repeated again: "That's natural, you sister-in-laws, don't worry, it's too long to guarantee, at least you all come over this month!"

Several people all showed happy expressions, and thanked Jiang Ling with smiles on the brows and corners of their eyes before leaving.

Jiang Ling looked at the mint grass in the pot, and started to get busy until the time of Haishi, when Jiang Ling had a sore back and a sore back, and finished making mint syrup and mint paste.

Looking at the pots of mint candy and mint paste on the ground, Jiang Ling began to think again, which step could be separated and let others do it.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ling only felt soreness and pain in her arms, but she still sat up from the bed resisting the discomfort in her body.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three children were all sleeping, Jiang Ling quietly picked up the back basket and pushed open the door of her house.

Through the reminder of the system in his mind, Jiang Ling dug a lot of wormwood and cocklebur in the back mountain, and bought some alum and realgar in the system mall while no one was there.

After returning home, Jiang Ling boiled all four of these things in a pot according to the proportions in the book, and then threw the woven grass balls into the water. About half an hour later, Jiang Ling put the grass balls into the water. The balls are all placed in the sun to dry.

"Mother, what are you doing?" The three children asked in a low voice, looking at the grass in their yard.

"You three come here, mother has something to tell you." Jiang Ling called all three children to her side.
