However, this handkerchief was also the first thing that Li Jin accepted a thing sewn by him.

He shouldn’t worry about those sad things from before.

Qin Mu Wen smiled and showed two cute dimples, “There is still some linen left in the house. I see that your wallet is a little damaged, so I will sew a new one for you.”

Hearing this, Li Jin responded with a smile, “Okay.”

By the time Li Jin arrived at the medical hall, it was already early afternoon.

Doctor Wu calculated the price and gave Li Jin six hundred and ten wens.

Among them, six hundred wens was the price of herbs, and the ten wens was the cooperation fee.

This time the herbs sent by Li Jin were not as many as the earlier time, because he found that someone in the village might know that he made money by collecting herbs.

So many wild plants at the foot of the mountain had been smashed away even if they were medicinal herbs or not.

However, these people have improper methods and couldn’t recognize what real Chinese medicine looked like. They just think about brutally picking them up, not letting anything go.

Although most people in the village knew that collecting herbs like this couldn’t be sold at the medical shop.

But there were still people who were jealous of Li Jin’s family from being poor to having braised pork now for dinner.

They also wanted to try their luck with collecting the medicine.

Besides, this mountain was not owned by Li Jin, nor did he plant those herbs. He really couldn’t control how others wanted to collect it.

Fortunately, Li Jin did not plan to rely on those herbs to make money in the future.

The rainy season would come soon, and for safety purposes going to the mountain to collect herbs was not good.

Besides, Li Jin will be sitting in the medical hall from next month. 

In addition to daily meals, he could still earn two silver teal a month, which was enough to subsidize the family.

If he saved a little, he could still buy paper and ink sticks for the next month from this money.

Doctor Wu knew about Li Jin’s family condition. So he said, “Before you, someone had brought unclassified herbal medicines to sell.”

“I saw that the herbs looked lush and they should have come from the same place as your medicine.”

“It’s a pity that those herbs were destroyed because of improper picking techniques, and in the end, none of them could be used. “

Doctor Wu looked at Li Jin caringly, “Are those people jealous of you??”

Li Jin replied, “Perhaps, but August is too rainy. And I will only go a few times next month at most, and then I won’t go there anymore.”

Doctor Wu thought for a while, and said, “It’s good, some people we hired earlier fell from the mountain in order to collect more herbs during the rainy season. Your attention is indeed good.”

“Thank you, Dr. Wu.”

Li Jin came out of the medical hall, thinking about his six hundred and ten wens.

He had to pay half of the money as a deposit to Li Daniu’s house, which was around three hundred and fifty wens.

Excluding his family’s ‘deposit’, he now only had two hundred and sixty wens left.

Li Jin thought about the results of his recent exercise, so he decided to buy some beef.

Only eating eggs as protein supplements was not good enough.

To build muscle in three months, a proper diet was also very important.

What happened next made Li Jin feel that life was a bit dramatic.

The boss of the meat shop in the town was actually a family named Song whose wife and children were saved by his medicine.

In fact, when he was talking to Doctor Wu, he told Li Jin that the person who came to seek medical treatment was the meat seller, but at that time, Li Jin didn’t pay attention to it.

He had more or less put all his attention on the opportunity of sitting in the medical hall as the doctor at that time.

The boy selling the meat recognized Li Jin at first glance. He hurriedly asked the boss to come out.

After Boss Song saw Li Jin, the whole person became excited, “Savior!”

Li Jin, “…”

“The doctor is here to buy meat?? Pork ribs, pork belly, hind leg… boy, wrap them up for the boss.”

Boss Song had hired two guys and built a yard inside, which looked very developed.

(Translated by Beauty Brute.)

Li Jin hurriedly said, “No. Boss Song is polite, I came to ask if I can order beef and fish?”

Boss Song said, “Doctor, please don’t call me Boss Song. My name is Song Dali. Since I was young, my father taught me to kill pigs. Just call me Dali.”

Even after hearing this, Li Jin didn’t dare to call him that, in the end, he could only call him— Big Brother Song.
