Zhang An looked at the time, and it was still very early.
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang had not been there long, and it was only two or three o'clock when they came back.
"Dad, let's get the fragrant deer seeds."
It was still early, so Zhang An told his father about offering incense to Bohu.
"Do you want to pay now? Then I'll call the second master."
Zhang Jianguo is very unfamiliar with incense.
In the past, when villagers caught fragrant deer in the mountains, they would kill them directly and cut off the sachets.
If you want to keep the sachet yourself, you have to find someone who knows how to make it.
Only in this way can it be stored for a longer time, otherwise it will lose its fragrance over time.
But not many people know how to do this kind of technical work, so people in the mountains usually use sachets.
If you change hands, take it to the city and sell it, so as not to waste it on your own hands.
But during this period of time, he saw that Zhang An had been reading books on this subject.
This is to avoid harming the body of the deer when picking out the incense.
Since Zhang An opened his mouth today, he must have understood everything in the book.
"Hmm, these two days are the best time to get some incense. Let's get it first and then talk about it."
Hearing this, Zhang Jianguo nodded and went out to find Mr. Zhang.
Zhang An, on the other hand, went to the mountain behind to find Bohu who had been released.
By the time Zhang Erye and Zhang Jianguo came back, Zhang An had already captured Bohu.
This guy is different from those in space. He is usually wild-tempered.
Although it was very close to Zhang An, its temper became a little irritable when it was caught.
At this moment, Zhang An was holding him in his hand, and his limbs were hopping all the time.
But no matter how irritable it is, it will become obedient after a while.
Because now Mr. Zhang is coming over with a bowl of grass juice, and he will drink it later.
This thing is so powerful that even a strong guy like Dahua can't resist it.
Dahua was just greedy for drinking last time. After finishing a bowl by herself, she woke up and found that the treasure on her head was gone.
Compared with Dahua, this little guy, Bohu, will definitely sleep very comfortably later.
Bohu is struggling more now and is not cooperating at all.
So Zhang An opened its mouth and drank it.
While waiting, Zhang An did not let go of it.
Because Bohu runs very fast, if Zhang An lets go of him, he will run very fast.
Taking advantage of the time before the effects of the medicine take effect, this guy can run very far away.
Zhang An didn't want to wait until it fell and have to go outside to find it and bring it back, so he simply didn't let it out.
Sure enough, after waiting for half the pay, Bohu couldn't stand it any longer.
Zhang An drifted into sleep, but Zhang An didn't wake up after being shaken a few times.
"Master, I'm already dazed by the medicine, let's get started."
Zhang An went home and brought out a long bench and placed Bohu on it.
Zhang Jianguo held Bohu's front and rear legs with both hands, exposing the part of the sachet.
After passing the few regular customers in the space, Zhang An has mastered the technique of massage.
He reached out to explore and found Bohu's sachet.
"Second Grandpa, look here is the sachet, and the opening below is the mouth of the sachet."
Zhang An held Bohu's sachet and pointed it out bit by bit to his second grandfather.
"When taking out incense, we should hold the sachet tightly to prevent it from shaking, then gently pass the incense tube into it and scoop it out slowly."
Along with Zhang An's movements and the explanation from his mouth, Mr. Zhang next to him could easily understand it.
"Because the sachet is relatively fragile, we have to be very light when picking up the fragrance, otherwise it will cause damage to the sachet."
Especially in this situation where Bohu was drugged, we need to pay even more attention.
Because they have no consciousness and cannot feel discomfort, they can only control the force they use.
As Zhang An gently shook the incense tube, the mouth of Bohu's sachet began to draw musk.
Mr. Zhang was holding a small box below, for fear of wasting a little bit.
After more than a minute, Zhang An stopped his hand and did not continue to dig out.
Because the amount taken out at this time was already quite large, Zhang An was shocked.
The small box held by Mr. Zhang already contained a lot of brown and black musk mud.
This amount is much larger than those of the male musk deer in the space, and Zhang An hasn't finished taking it out yet, there is probably still less than half of it in the sachet.
Zhang An probably accumulated so much because Bohu had never taken any incense.
And since they live at home, they no longer have to worry about being hunted by ferocious beasts.
So during this period of time, they don't have to work hard to survive.
And unlike other male musk deer, Bohu eats and sleeps every day.
Even if I let it go to the cherry forest in the back mountain, this guy would still look like he was strolling leisurely and contentedly.
Without strenuous running and exercise in daily life, the musk mud in this sachet has been preserved.
Therefore, it is not too strange that Zhang An can spend so much this time.
"This method is really good. You can collect it this way. As long as you raise the fragrant deer well, you can collect it every year."
Although the brown-black musk mud exuded a strong fishy smell, Zhang Erye and Zhang Jianguo were very happy.
Last year, Zhang An asked the traditional Chinese medicine hall in the county. The purchase price they offered at that time was about 8,000 to 10,000 per catty.
Even so, it is difficult to receive some in a year.
So when Zhang An asked about it, the old shopkeeper said that as long as it is available, the price of this thing can go up a little bit.
The old shopkeeper took the musk, not to resell it.
It's because this old man has the ancient recipe for Zhang Angong Niuhuang Wan.
He spent a lot of money to collect musk just so that he could make Angong Niuhuang Pills.
For that old man with gray hair and beard, he actually has such a big killer weapon.
Zhang An was very shocked, but he thought about it later.
My ancestors must not have been simple, otherwise we would be able to open such a large medicine hall in this era.
The last time Zhang An sold ginseng, people paid tens of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye.
Therefore, the foundation of such a family is not generally deep.
Moreover, we have just passed through a turbulent era, and we have managed to preserve such a family fortune.
It definitely takes more than one or two generations of savings to do it, so it is not incomprehensible that someone has Zhang Gufang.
Zhang An looked at what his second grandfather was holding, and estimated that it weighed one or two dollars.
If it were sold, it would probably fetch one or two thousand yuan.
The most important thing is that this is not just a one-time benefit, but can be paid every year in the future.
Moreover, Mr. Zhang also knew that Zhang An’s family was not the only one with fragrant deer that could fetch incense.
Among the two little heads born some time ago, one is male.
In other words, as long as Zhang An continues to grow up, the amount he can take every year will only be a lot more.
This is why the old man and Zhang Jianguo are very happy.
But Zhang An had already calmed down. In the afternoon, he took out a dozen male musk deer in the space.
There is currently only half a catty in the space, so this little bit is just a sprinkling of water for Zhang An.
Mr. Zhang put the musk deer mud in the box and carefully sealed it with a lid.
"Xiao An, what are your plans for this?"
After handing the box to Zhang An, Mr. Zhang asked about Zhang An's plan.
"Our family doesn't need that much money now, so let's keep it for now."
Zhang An actually doesn't really want to sell it, even if he sells it now, it won't cost much.
For my family, it can only be the icing on the cake.
Anyway, there is space, so Zhang An doesn’t have to worry about the fragrance running away if this thing is placed inside.
After the epidemic, Zhang An was thinking about finding a life-saving prescription.
For example, the Angong Niuhuang Pills in the hands of the old man in the Chinese medicine hall.
Zhang An had been thinking about him for a long time, but Zhang An's several inquiries yielded no results.
The old man just smiled at Zhang An without answering every time, and he didn't want to mention it at all.
However, Zhang An was not in a hurry. Even if he could not find it, he would not be able to use the musk.
It doesn't matter if you sell it later, you will only make a profit and not lose money anyway.
After dinner, Wang Fang made a phone call with Wu Qiuping.
Without saying a few words, the two old sisters got into a good relationship.
On the phone, Wang Fang took the initiative to propose engagements for her two children.
Wu Qiuping didn't have any objections, and she thought so in her heart.
But before getting engaged, let Zhang An take the whole family to their home.
It's not that we were talking about anything, we just wanted her and Zhang An's father to have a meal at their house and get to know the door.
Wu Qiuping felt that she and Su Ying's father had both been to Zhang An's house.
Now the two children have reached the stage of discussing marriage.
Their family should invite Zhang An's parents over for a visit as a courtesy.
Wang Fang naturally agreed to this matter.
Su Ying's family has already been to her home, they should also go to someone else's home to sit and sit, otherwise it won't be justified.
Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen are both busy at work during normal times, so it is naturally inconvenient to go there, even though Su Ying is at home.
So in the end, the two families agreed to wait until Saturday this week and let Zhang An take them there.
After the matter was finished, Wu Qiuping and Wang Fang chatted about wages for another half.
Most of them are about how Zhang An was naughty when he was a child, and why Su Ying was disobedient when she was a child.
Anyway, they are all talking about their children's shortcomings and asking each other to bear with them.
Zhang An was really confused when he heard this. He couldn't help but doubt himself, was I really so naughty when I was a child?
After chatting for a long time, the two old sisters reluctantly hung up the phone.
Zhang An could actually feel that at this moment, Wang Fang and Wu Qiuping seemed to regret meeting each other late.
Suddenly, Zhang An discovered that Mimi, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the hall today.
Zhang An walked over and took a plate of it, but it felt like it was weak.
"Meow~"
Even this cry made Zhang An feel a little out of breath.
Mimi has been elusive since she was brought in as a baby.
It's better to bring it to the river now, but it was better when it was in the old house.
Zhang An rarely sees it once a day, and sometimes he has to go to the floor to call for it.
The old house is a tile-roofed house with wooden beams everywhere on the upper floors.
So Mimi likes to jump on it no matter day or night.
This may be because most of the mice in Zhang An's house move along the wooden beams.
"Mom, why do I feel like Mimi has lost a lot of weight during this time?"
Although the previous breasts were not fat, they still looked fleshy.
But today Zhang An discovered that the ribs on both sides of Mimi's belly were somewhat visible.
"Let me take a look."
Wang Fang has always been fond of the dogs and cats at home.
Hearing what Zhang An said, he picked up Mimi.
"Hey, I've lost a lot of weight."
Wang Fang couldn't help frowning, and stretched out a hand to touch its belly.
"The little guy has worms in his stomach. No wonder he's become so thin."
Not only does Mimi eat mice by herself, Wang Fang also prepares her favorite fish rice every day.
This meal can be said to be the best in the cat world in Changqing.
So there is no such thing as being starved to death by Zhang An's family.
Then Wang Fang put her breasts on the ground and started rummaging around the house.
Wang Fang was looking for insecticide for Mimi at home, but she rummaged through the cabinet and couldn't find it.
"Xiao An, there is no insecticide at home. I will go to your aunt's house to find some. You should keep an eye on it first and don't let it hide."
Wang Fang didn't want to find the insecticide later and the little guy disappeared.
After hearing what his mother said, Zhang An held Mimi on his lap and began to caress its belly with his hands.
Zhang An still doesn't understand how his mother found out there were worms in her stomach.
"Meow~woo~"
Maybe the little guy felt a little comfortable being pressed by Zhang An, and he couldn't help but moan.
The little guy thought about lying on Zhang An's lap and assumed a very, very comfortable posture.
Every time Zhang An's hand stopped, it would bark, open its eyes and look at Zhang An.
The meaning is very obvious, tell Zhang An not to stop and press it quickly.
Not to mention, this cat is quite comfortable to pet.
Not only does the cat feel comfortable, but it also feels fun for me.
No wonder there will be so many people willing to raise cats as poop scavengers in the future.
Zhang An’s Mimi is different from other people’s domestic cats.
In this day and age, these cats and dogs are not clean, they are covered in dust and fleas.
Not to mention cats and dogs, even some dolls are all the same.
Many children take a long time to take a bath, especially their hair, which is simply a nest for fleas.
Nowadays, it is extremely normal.
As for the cats and dogs in Zhang An's family, Wang Fang takes care of them more diligently.
Now that Wang Fang has a lot of free time, she catches them from time to time and brings them back to bathe and eliminate insects.
So their bodies are relatively clean and there are no fleas to be seen.
Otherwise, Zhang An wouldn't dare to hold them on his body, and the flea bites would be more uncomfortable than mosquitoes.
Not long after, Wang Fang came back from outside, holding a piece of paper-wrapped insecticide.
Zhang An doesn’t know the name of this medicine, but it is similar to rapeseed.
Wang Fang originally wanted to get a bowl of lard mixed with rice, mix these medicines in it and let the little guy eat it.
But Zhang An felt that there was no need to go to such trouble, as he was already experienced in administering medicine.
He pinched Mimi's little mouth with one hand, and then asked his mother to put the pills in.
Finally, give it a sip of water, just hold its mouth to prevent it from spitting out.
After a few seconds, the medicine is taken, how simple it is.
But Mimi, who was forcibly drugged by Zhang An, now looked at Zhang An with some resentment, looking very pitiful.
"Little guy, don't blame me. I'm doing it for your own good, otherwise you're going to have problems sooner or later if you're so thin."
Zhang An reached out and wanted to ease the relationship between humans and cats.
But now the little guy felt a little vindictive and slipped under Wang Fang's feet, preventing Zhang An from touching it.
Taking advantage of my time off, I will make up for the missing chapters in the previous chapter.
