BHBF Chapter 36.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 36.1: The Prodigal Son (74)

Shao Dabao touched the back of his head and said with some guilty conscience: “This, I didn’t inquire.”

 

Dr. Lu frowned upon hearing this, and said, “The growing conditions of longevity grass are harsh, and it is very rare in the market, so the price is not cheap.”

 

Shao Dabao immediately realized that most of these villagers had been undercut by others in the past, and the good longevity grass did not directly mention the name, but was named Dragon grass, mostly to deceive people. .

 

Lu Yun’er said from the side: “Why don’t I go to the village with my father to identify whether this is the longevity grass.”

 

“Don’t go, I’ll go.” Doctor Lu didn’t want Lu Yun’er to go out.

 

Lu Yun’er heard the words and said: “Dad, since you want to teach me medical skills, how can you make me work behind closed doors at home? Only by being able to personally touch these herbs can I have a deeper understanding of them. ”

 

Dr, Lu originally wanted to evade the question, but after hearing what she said, Shao Dabao on the side was not unhappy, but looked like he agreed, so he could only tell himself that since he had started teaching, he might as well teach to the end.

 

Shao Dabao had just returned from the countryside, and now he packed up and went to Huilong Village with his future father-in-law and wife.

 

Huilong Village was very lively at this time. When the three arrived, it happened to catch up with everyone in the village running to one place.

 

Shao Dabao grabbed the fellow who he lodged at his house overnight.

 

“Brother Shao, there is a meeting in the village, I have to go first.” The fellow said anxiously.

 

Doctor Lu immediately said: “We are not good at mixing things in other people’s villages, Dabao, take us to the mountains to see.”

 

Hearing this, the villager was surprised. He had a good impression of Shao Dabao, so he didn’t think much about it.

 

After hearing that the other party was a doctor, the villager became excited and said, “Doctor, go to the mountains and see if there is any way to save our Dragon grass, hurry up lest the worms eat it up, those god-killed worms can’t be caught, and people are worried.”

 

Doctor Lu nodded, and Lu Yun’er beside him looked around and immediately saw a group of people coming there with several baskets.

 

With the arrival of this team, the villagers are obviously a little excited.

 

“Is that the buyer in the village?” Shao Dabao asked curiously.

 

The villager nodded, and he didn’t care about greeting Shao Dabao and others, and ran to the village ancestral hall in a hurry, for fear that he would miss something if he went late.

 

Shao Dabao had been to the mountains once, and this time he took the two of them directly along the old road.

 

“Why is it gone?” Shao Dabao said in surprise.

 

After all, the last time he came here, there was a seedling of dragon grass in this place, there was no reason for it to grow up in the past two days.

 

Doctor Lu stepped forward, touched the marks on the ground, and said, “It was pulled out.”

 

“It was only one finger high, and the leaves were tender…” Shao Dabao understood before he finished speaking. There must be a villager who couldn’t wait, so he pulled out the dragon grass eagerly.

 

“It seems that the situation in this village is really serious.” Doctor Lu said with emotion.

 

At this time, Lu Yun’er had walked to the side, holding a small thing in her hand. It looked very bright green. The feces were stacked together.

 

“What is this? It looks pretty good. Can it be eaten?” Shao Dabao asked curiously.

 

Lu Yun’er nodded and said, “It’s edible, sweet.”

 

As she spoke, she handed it to Shao Dabao, Shao Dabao twisted it a little, and just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he heard Lu Yun’er say again: “This is the feces of the immortal worm.”

 

Lu Yun’er didn’t think anything of it, but continued, “This thing can clear your mind and brighten your eyes, it’s a rare good thing. ”

 

When Shao Dabao knew that it was worm poop, he couldn’t eat it, forced a smile, and returned the thing to Lu Yun’er.

 

Lu Yun’er took a handkerchief and wrapped it carefully.

 

After the three circled in the mountains, they returned to the village. During this time, the village meeting was over, and the villagers walked together in twos and threes.

 

Shao Dabao found the villager who he had stayed with before. The villager was talking about something, as if he was summing up something, and did not even notice Shao Dabao and the others approaching.

 

“According to the head, each person is two taels of silver. There are six people in my family, that’s one or two…”

 

Listening to how difficult it was for fellow villagers to count, Shao Dabao directly helped him count: “Twelve taels.”

 

After hearing this, the villager counted it again and found it was indeed twelve taels. He praised Shao Dabao: “Shao the peddler, you are really good at accounting. ”

 

Shao Dabao smiled and asked, “Brother, what are you talking about? Did the Dragon Grass sell for a good price?”

 

The villagers sighed and said, “This year’s dragon grass is full of worm eyes, and people don’t want it.”

 

“What kind of money is this?” Shao Dabao asked curiously.

 

The villagers thought it was no secret, so they said, “People don’t want to take back the dragon grass, they want to buy the mountain. ”

 

“Buying a mountain?” Shao Dabao was a little puzzled.

 

“This mountain belongs to our village. Everyone has a share. It has to be bought by the head. My family can get twelve taels. It’s still my third cousin’s family, there are fifteen people, and I don’t know how much it is.”

 

“Thirty taels.” Shao Dabao said.

 

Under the dazed eyes of the villagers, Shao Dabao continued to explain: “Fifteen people, that is thirty-two.”

 

The villagers didn’t think otherwise, nodded dumbly, and said, “Now that the dragon grass on the mountain can’t be supported, it’s better to sell the mountain and get a sum of money.”

 

Although the villagers said this, he was hesitant, and it was obvious that he was still calculating in his heart. After all, the dragon grass is not good this year, it does not mean that it will not be good next year. The money he got now seems to be enough to cover the income of the previous two years, but there will be no other source of income in the future.

 

“Under normal circumstances, how much do you get from selling dragon grass every year?” Shao Dabao asked.

 

The villager said: “I have a small family, and I sold seven taels of silver last year.”

 

After hearing this, Lu Yun’er asked him how much the seven taels of silver dragon grass weighed.
