Chapter 468 Small Wages
Picking mushrooms is the only source of income for small farms today. In winter, the small farms lose their greenery and are covered with silvery white snow. Watermark ad test The watermark ad test made the entire Komixing town seem a little quiet, and the farmers were either on vacation, or went to a game of football or a movie to spend more of the cold winter days.
Hank Farm, because of Dudu and the little guys, is getting more and more lively. Picking mushrooms, a group of little guys are carrying small baskets, small baskets, and small stools. They are busy shuttling through the passages extending in all directions, like little elves. "Qiuqiu is not allowed to eat secretly." Dudu carried a full basket, and saw Qiuqiu sneaking up beside the big basket from afar, running towards him.
Qiuqiu has been living a good life recently, his fur has become smoother and thicker, fleshy, and he has become a ball really quickly. The pink meaty ball is much bigger, close to two-thirds of Qiuqiu's height.
"Meatball has grown taller again."
Both Dudu and Baobao like very shy meat balls, and love to help them dress up. A suit, especially the butterfly balls, is very cute, just like the mouse princess in cartoons.
Dudu was very willing to stuff a large piece of the most delicious multicolored mushrooms for Rouqiuqiu. After playing with Rouqiuqiu for a while, he remembered that the mushrooms in the basket were poured into the basket, and he did not forget to warn the ball when he left. The ball is not allowed to steal. Qiuqiu squeaked and pointed at Rouqiuqiu. This guy was a little depressed, and the difference in treatment was too great.
Dudu pretended not to see it at all, patted hard and jumped up and down, accusing himself of being unfair, carrying a small basket, and continued to pick small mushrooms
The cute bunny, Gina, picked a basket full and ran over. Seeing the round and bulging balls beside it, she was immediately fascinated. "Sister, is this your rabbit? It's so cute."
"Qiaoqiu is not a rabbit. Qiuqiu is a big mouse."
Dudu pursed his mouth. "Let's play with my sister, Qiuqiu. Dudu is going to pick mushrooms. Mom will send a car to transport mushrooms tomorrow."
Jennifer arranged for a car, which came every three days recently. Buy fresh mushrooms. Of course some shiitake mushrooms may be reprocessed, these are arranged by Jennifer.
"Um."
Gina nodded happily. But who knew, Qiuqiu walked past Gina with the meat ball raising the mouse's head high, looking completely proud of the mouse.
Gina blinked her eyes. Small mouth deflated, stinky mouse. "Hee hee, Sister Gina, Qiuqiu doesn't play with strangers, she only plays with you if you give me money."
The baby basket mushrooms poured into the basket and jumped off the stool.
"The baskets are full, baby, go ask your uncle to move it." Then he turned and ran out. Leaving Gina pouted.
Li Han was busy repairing the fences around the entrance of the farm. Some fences were damaged due to snow accumulation and disrepair. Taking advantage of the winter time, Li Han planned to repair it completely, although the fence on the small farm was not very useful. "Uncle, the baby basket is full again." "Is that so? I'll help you move it out after Uncle has nailed this piece of wood."
Li Han held the nail gun, nailed the nails in a short while, took the baby's hand to the passage, and the baskets were piled up. Taita and Titan brothers are still stacking up, and the two brothers are a little too simple and honest. "Brother Taita, that's amazing." The baby clapped his little hands when he saw the pile of pointed baskets, the baskets were too high, usually Dudu and the baby had to stand on a small stool to pour the mushrooms in the basket into the basket.
Li Han smiled, and called down the two big guys first. A basket of mushrooms is not too light, especially to carry them out of the tunnel.
The basket was moved to the storage hut, Li Han brought a new basket, came to the aisle, and beckoned when he saw the busy work in the aisle. "Dad, put it here."
"here?"
Li Han went over with the basket and put it away. "Han, you're playing tricks and not paying your salary." Tiffany complained when she saw Li Han coming over. "What's wrong?"
"My sister picked a lot of mushrooms, and Dudu didn't make my sister lose money."
Dudu pursed his mouth.
"But you didn't say that it doesn't count if you pick something broken."
Tiffany was a little lacking in confidence.
"Tiffany, I'm not going to help you now. There's a clause in the contract. You're neglecting your work. You should deduct your wages." "Yeah." Dudu also nodded his head.
"Hmph, your father and daughter are cheating together."
Tiffany snorted and didn't take it off. "Dudu didn't lie, it's my sister who can't pick mushrooms well." Dudu said angrily. "Bad mushrooms are very cheap. My mother said that good mushrooms cost more, but bad mushrooms can't be sold."
Dudu remembered it all, Tiffany muttered twice, seeing Li Han completely ignoring her, Dudu was even more angry, snorted, picked up the basket, and continued picking, this time the speed was a bit slower, so be careful not to pick. few.
Compared to Gina and the Titan brothers, they are better at picking mushrooms. Although Maria is still a little weak, she is much better at picking mushrooms than Tiffany.
Dudu showed the mushrooms picked by Maria to Tiffany's sister just now, but the sister didn't admit that she didn't pick them well. Li Han smiled and rubbed Dudu's little head. "My sister has never done such a job, just Dudu will teach my sister slowly." "Tell Dad when the basket is full."
Li Han still has work to do. The fence is replaced with new wooden boards and painted again. There are no cattle and sheep in the living area around the small yard. Li Han also planned to tidy up the entrance and surroundings of the farm. There were a lot of horns and antlers at home, so he planned to build a mailbox with horns at the entrance, and a cowboy with antlers piled up next to it.
Li Han was muttering what to do, when he heard the sound of a car behind him, he turned around. "Weili, why come here when you have time?" "I'll come and see Finn and Rem."
"Fin and Rem are at the Pearl Flower Ranch today, and they won't be back until evening. Both of them are good people. What happened last time, they were a little rash."
Finn and Rem were sentenced to work on weekends because they broke into the farm last time, and they needed to be watched from time to time, especially when the two moved to the small town of Comixing, which was under the jurisdiction of Power.
"Is Finn's son doing better?"
Wei Li helped Li Han hold the board, and Li Han nodded. "It's not bad, the situation is better these days than before." "Oh, Han, I almost forgot that there is a Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion shop in the town."
Li Han almost forgot. "I almost forgot about it. I even ordered a batch of herbal medicine here. I will go to the town later."
Willy smiled. "I heard from Jack that acupuncture is very good?" "There are many kinds of acupuncture, but I heard that Chinese massage is good. You can try it. Let's go. I'll clean up and go there."
I didn't pay attention these days, or Li Yongming was too busy recently and forgot. Li Han thought it was delayed again, but he didn't expect to start it. It's a pity that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage can only be regarded as health care, not a clinic, and there is no qualification to practice medicine. Acupuncturists are also very strict. They must memorize all the meridians and the location of each acupoint, and must receive formal training in traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Han knows a little about these meridians and acupuncture points, but he is relatively ordinary. "Mom, I'm going to the town. Dudu is picking mushrooms. Aunt Xu will take care of it."
"Go."
Li Han and Willie came to the town. The store is on the corner of the street, and the location is not bad. Li Han had already contacted Li Yongming on the way. There are not many at all, but there is only Li Han's family in Mixing Town.
"Master Wang, excuse me."
Li Han saw the gray-haired old man bent slightly and said hello. "It's Xiao Li, come in and sit." "It hasn't been decorated yet, there is no place to entertain, please sit."
Li Han and Wei Li sat down, and Li Han presented a gift, space tea, which was fried by Liu Ming, and the fragrance was overflowing. At that time, Liu Ming pulled a bag and said that if the tea was made by a master, it would be at least top-grade, and his own craftsmanship was not good enough. . "Good tea, rare, rare, Xiao Li also loves this." "My parents like it better, and I usually drink some when I have time, so it's not a hobby."
Li Han said with a smile.
Wang Donglin smiled and took out the tea set. Li Han has learned a lot in the past six months. Seeing the old man's skill in tea ceremony, he admired him so much. Wei Li accompanied Li Han to drink a cup of tea and then left. Wang Donglin's English is limited. "It's really good skill, Mr. Wang's skill is admirable."
"Hehe, I usually like to drink tea. If you are more proficient, it's not considered good at martial arts. I'll bring you the herbs and put them away." Wang Donglin didn't talk too much about Chinese medicine.
"sorry to bother you."
Li Han invited Wang Donglin to the farm as a guest, but the old man was not polite and nodded in agreement. "The farm is good, self-reliant." "Nowadays, there are many big companies and big capital entering, and some farms in the central and southern regions are now modernized. Montana is relatively remote, with few people, and there are still some shadows of traditional old-fashioned farms."
Li Han has seen many times in the past five years. Big companies annexed family farms. Nowadays, many small farms in modern production are lagging behind in this area, resulting in high costs and strong market competition. Once some droughts and the like are encountered, bankruptcy is very common. "The development of the times, these, we old men will not talk about it, you young people accept it faster, better than us."
Wang Donglin said with some regrets, maybe this is some regret for Chinese medicine, the knowledge of Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and it needs to be studied. In today's society, there are really few people who are willing to be three or five apprentices. with. Wang Donglin now has less than ten nominal apprentices plus one yuan, but none of them are actually engaged in traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Han opened his mouth and said. "Old Wang, if you need help with anything, you are welcome." "There is nothing busy, the environment here is not bad, and it is good to retire here."
Wang Donglin seemed to be in a good mood.
Li Han looked at the late hour and said. "I'll pick you up tomorrow." Li Han packed the herbs and greeted Wang Donglin, then left and returned to the farm.
Mom and Aunt Xu were very happy to learn that an old Chinese doctor had come to the town. "Western medicine is said to have quick results, but it is not good to eat too much. Chinese medicine cures the root cause."
"Master Wang is very kind, Mom, I invite Master Wang to come to our house tomorrow." Li Han put away the medicinal materials, clapped his hands and said to his mother.
"It's the right thing to do. Let's cook a few more dishes tomorrow. It's rare for guests to come." Zhang Xiuying said with a smile. "I don't know where this master is from?"
Li Han froze for a moment. "I didn't ask about that. The accent sounds like the coast in the south." "Mom, this Master Wang is a nice person. You don't need to be too particular about it. Home-cooked food is just fine."
Although Li Han and Wang Donglin just met and chatted for a while, they feel that this person is quite nice, not imagining the old-fashioned old man.
