    ?

    After that day, the Song family's thatched cottage fell into a rather weird atmosphere.  Xu Shujian couldn't tell what kind of state he and Song Fengchen were in now. He only knew that the other party had never done anything out of line to him, and kept a proper distance from the beginning to the end.  The uneasiness in his heart faded a lot.

    As for the loss or something, it is barely negligible.

    The days are still going on, entering May, and the dry wind blows hard.

    Before the rainy season came, the tartary buckwheat in the field could be harvested one after another, which also meant that the spring famine in 1977 had come to an end.

    Song Fengchen did not join the busy farming army, and still ran to the mountains every day on his own.  One is to ensure that the family and the cowshed can have enough meat to supplement nutrition, and the other is because he accidentally discovered a large piece of Dendrobium officinale on a cliff in the deep mountains.

    Medically, it is believed that Dendrobium candidum can nourish yin and body, strengthen the body, nourish the spleen and stomach, and prolong life. The Taoist medical classic "Tao Zang" even listed Dendrobium candidum as the first of the nine immortal herbs in China. It has been highly praised by the royal family in the past. It is rare  A nourishing holy product.

    And right now is the time when Dendrobium blooms.

    The utility of Dendrobium flowers is also not low. The stems of Dendrobium candidum have the same functions as Dendrobium flowers.  In addition, rare things are more expensive, and the production of Dendrobium flowers is pitifully small, and the price is considerable. Song Fengchen, who is not very well-off, is naturally attracted to it.

    He gets up at dawn every day and goes up the mountain, and walks up the mountain road for two or three hours. When he arrives at the place, he actually spends about an hour picking flowers.  I had to go home and dry the dendrobium flowers with charcoal fire.

    After traveling for more than half a month, Song Fengchen has reaped a lot, and he has saved about eight taels of dried flowers in his hand.

    At the same time, most of Xu Shujian's foot injuries were healed. Song Fengchen made him a pair of crutches, and he sent the retired wheelchair to the bullpen.

    Zheng Dehui's medical skills are undeniable, and the boss of the Chen family tried his best to cooperate. After more than a month, Zhao Chengyu, who was on the verge of death, was finally pulled back abruptly, and the other three people's illnesses were also more or less serious.  Or less improved.

    Song Fengchen and You Rongyan.

    On May 20th, Song Fengchen rarely got up late, and after lunch, he was about to borrow an ox cart from the production brigade.

    One reason is that it¡¯s time for Zhou Haochang¡¯s family¡¯s affairs to be completely settled, because seven or seven forty-nine days have come, and the other reason is that he wants to go to the city to sell the Gastrodia elata and Dendrobium flowers in his possession for money.

    Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance as soon as I went out.

    ? Four scrawny young men in ragged clothes came towards them. When they saw Song Fengchen, the long-haired leader was startled, "Song San?"

    Song Fengchen frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, these people should be the group of cronies from his predecessor, and they were the ones who instigated his predecessor to steal food from the Wang family.

    After the previous accident, these guys probably ran away without a trace because they were afraid of being caught.

    Long Mao's eyes are full of envy and greed: "It seems that Liu Laolai is right, you have really made a fortune, look at your clothes, they are newly made"

    He reached out to grab Song Fengchen's collar.

    Song Fengchen took a step back, avoiding his hand: "Why are you back?"

    Changmao wasn't bothered, "Isn't the village going to divide the rations? We saw that the wind was not so tight, so we came back"

    The tartary buckwheat in the village has been harvested. According to the rules of Yuexi Village, after paying the public grain, the remaining seeds and reserve grain, as well as the care grain for five-guarantee households and special needy households are removed, and the remaining grain is distributed to the villagers as rations.

    The distribution of villagers' rations is set at 30-70, that is, 70% of the basic rations and 30% according to work points.  Basic rations are distributed on the principle of two basics and one basic. Basic attendance guarantees 80% of the basic rations, and basic fertilizer tasks guarantee 20% of the basic rations.

    The former group of bums are not stupid, and they will never miss the work they should be doing easily.  Because as long as the number of days of attendance is up, even if they are working in the field and their work points are deducted, they can get 80% of the basic rations.

    Changmao smiled, "Song San, don't blame the brothers for abandoning you. You know that at that time, if we didn't run away, something would happen Besides, aren't you doing well?"

    The long-haired eyeball rolled and rubbed his fingers: "Song San, now that you have made a fortune, my brothers are still hungry. We all swore blood oaths when we asked for help.  Blessed to share, you see"

    Song Fengchen didn't speak, and directlybypass them.

    "Hey, I'm talking about Song San" Changmao's expression changed, and he reached out to stop Song Fengchen. He thought that he could coax Song San away by saying something nice, but it didn't work. "The man in this dress looks like a dog.  Temperament is also good, turn your face and deny people, this is it."

    "What exactly do you want?" Song Fengchen was a little impatient.

    Changmao spoke directly at the juncture on the left: "Brother, we didn't want to do anything to you. We just wanted to ask you to borrow some money to spend. Anyway, your money is easy to come by, isn't it?"

    "That's right." Changmao squinted his eyes: "It's really not possible, you can give your brothers a way to get rich."

    Song Fengchen frowned: "Good dogs don't get in the way, you know?"

    The long-haired face fell completely, and he reached out and rolled up his sleeves, "Song San, don't toast and refuse to eat"

    Before Chang Mao could make a move, Song Fengchen suddenly raised his foot and kicked him flying.

    It happened too suddenly, seeing Changmao fell into the mud, flopped on the ground for a while and couldn't get up immediately, and the remaining three raised their heads in unison.

    Song Fengchen said in a bad tone: "Why, you want to try too?"

    The three of them took a step back in unison, shrinking their necks with fear on their faces.

    Song Fengchen snorted, and continued walking with his hands behind his back.

    The three left behind looked at each other in dismay, frantically picked up the long hair that was limp on the ground, and ran away in a desperate manner

    Borrowing an ox cart, Song Fengchen took his stuff and went to the county seat.

    When he came out of Zhou Haochang's house, he had three hundred dollars in his pocket.

    Finding the black market with ease, Song Fengchen raised his hand and knocked on the door. The guy who poked his head out saw that he was an acquaintance, and quickly opened the door.

    Hearing the sound, Boss Zhao, who was lying in the yard basking in the sun, clutched his belly, stood up from the recliner, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he greeted him warmly: "Hey, Comrade Song is here."

    "Boss Zhao." After parking the ox cart, Song Fengchen looked at Boss Zhao, but was startled: "What are you?"

    "Hi!" Boss Zhao waved his hand and sighed, "Don't talk about it, I went to the city to buy goods two days ago, and the big boss above treated guests to dinner, but I don't know what unclean food I ate, and I made a fuss after I came back.  Stomach, and it's not good yet."

    "Really?" Song Fengchen looked him up and down, always feeling something weird.

    Boss Zhao didn't want to argue too much with Song Fengchen, "Comrade Song is here to buy food again?"

    Hearing the words, Song Fengchen looked away and nodded: "Well, there is something else I want to sell to Boss Zhao."

    "Oh?" Boss Zhao said, "What is it?"

    Song Fengchen lifted the bamboo basket and lifted the rags on it.

    Boss Zhao took two steps forward, looked down, and saw a mahogany sword. He looked at Song Fengchen with some suspicion.

    Song Fengchen took out the two cloth bags next to the peach wood sword, and untied the smaller one first, exposing the small mountain-like Gastrodia elata inside.

    "Wild gastrodia elata?" Boss Zhao exclaimed, "So much?"

    He grinned, and the businessman's intuition made him subconsciously look at another big strider.

    Song Fengchen reached out to open the big cloth bag as he wished.

    When he saw clearly what was inside, Boss Zhao grinned, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

    "Boss Zhao, make an offer!"

    "Comrade Song is very capable." Boss Zhao praised sincerely, then touched his chin, pointed to the bag of Gastrodia elata and said, "For the sake of Comrade Song's patronage of my business for so long, I will give you a real price, this,  Eighty-five catties."

    Then he turned his finger and pointed to the side: "As for these dendrobium flowers¡ª¡ª"

    He raised his finger and put it in front of his eyes, "This price." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
