Chapter 17 Earned to the base of the house

The next morning, the sisters returned from town, and the sun had just come out.

I met the old man Feng who went out to work from the entrance of the village with a hoe, and now he is the only one doing field work in the Feng family, and other people's families have already finished autumn planting, and he has not finished planting.

Jin Yu greeted Old Man Feng: "Master! ”

Old Man Feng snorted and asked, "Sold out?" Can't get the price? ”

When I mentioned this splendid splendor, I was depressed: the pecans that had worked hard to carry down the mountain, and the unified purchase price of the dry goods store was only 20 Wen, saying that it had to be fried in the sun, and there was a lot of loss.

And the price of the dried walnuts sold in their shop varies, and the minimum is fifty yuan a catty!

The one who sells loses a lot, but the one who reaps makes a lot of money!

But what can be done? Looking at Jinyu happily counting the money, Jinxiu only - alas, sister, you are happy!

More than 80 catties of pecans were only sold for one tael of silver and another 700 wen, but the fluttering notoginseng flowers and matsutake mushrooms were more valuable, and they were sold for more than 700 wen and 900 wen respectively, and the three things added up to a total of three taels of silver and another 300 wen.

Jinxiu turned her face away, ignoring the old man, Jinyu was a pure and docile child, she didn't hide it, she said it all.

Old Man Feng stood in the local area and watched his two granddaughters enter the village, with no expression on his face, and only he knew what he wanted to do.

Jinxiu and Jinyu bought two and a half catties of fat and lean pork at the morning market, didn't they want to eat dumplings? Lean meat chopped dumplings filling, fat meat cut into pieces and fried oil, directly let the butcher shop guys help chop the meat and cut it, go home and put some salt to soak, and wait for them to come down the mountain to do it.

The place at home is narrow, and there are not many bowls and basins, Jinxiu asked Jinyu where to put the dumplings? Jinyu took her to a bamboo and woodware store and bought two bamboo dustpans.

When I passed by a vegetable seller, I bought a handful of coriander and a few cresses. The mother and daughter don't have half of the field, let alone the vegetable garden, the vegetable garden in the backyard of the Feng family is usually full of Tian and Jinyu, but now they can't touch those vegetables!

When I got home, I found that Jinyun was happily fighting against a pot of dough under the guidance of Tian - all with the above, this is the rhythm of eating dumplings first and then working?

Tian said: "I'm sitting at home and stuffy, and I don't have to carry or pick it, you go up the mountain, I'm slowly wrapping dumplings at home and waiting for you to come back!" ”

When Jinxiu and Jinyu heard this, they washed and cut the side dishes and mixed them with minced meat to make the dumpling filling, and let Tian slowly make it at home.

There are three sisters who have a hope in their hearts, and they are more active in searching for mountain goods in the mountains!

Today, I still follow Yang Dongmei's team, other people's homes are not like the splendid family, if you want a father without a father, and your mother is sick, Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling The mountain goods they found back were all sold by the adults in the family.

So they didn't work so hard, they got up at dawn in the morning, and they came out slowly after breakfastβ€”they couldn't go into the mountains too early, and they had to wait for the sun to dry and dew before they could walk.

Before going up the mountain, Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling sandwiched Jinxiu in the middle and spoke:

"Scared me today! Why do so many people in your family go up the mountain? Even Feng Taohua and Feng Liuhua, the two delicate young ladies, went up! Ouch hey! Don't let me see it's funny, I can't help it, I'll tell you first, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not giving you face! ”

As soon as Ye Shuiling's words fell, Yang Dongmei followed: "I guess you brought so many mountain goods home yesterday, which made them red-eyed, right?" ”

"Not only are they red-eyed, but they also robbed it!"

Jinxiu said: "The basket of walnuts that Jinyun worked so hard to pick up made them almost finished!" ”

"Didn't I throw you away like orphans? Do they still have the face to rob? Jinxiu, last time your father beat you, it didn't make sense, I changed it, and I didn't give them anything! ”

"Yes, when our family heard about this incident during dinner, my mother wiped her tears, saying that your mother is the most pitiful, and your sisters are also very miserable!"

"Alas, what can I do to reincarnate in this home? But now it's okay, we're out, don't be slaves and maids for them, and eat what we earn! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Dongmei thought for a while and said to Jinxiu: "I can't bring too many people around, usually you don't bring your sister, you follow me and Shui Ling, you know what kind of things you encounter." Why don't you follow us this time, and let your two sisters take care of each other. Hurry up to find a little more mountain goods to exchange for money before the weather is cold and snowy, and when the time comes, you can buy land, even if you only build a thatched house, it is your own! ”

Jinxiu nodded and said sincerely: "Sister Dong, I went up the mountain to find good things all by you, thank you!" ”

Yang Dongmei waved her hand: "Thank you for what?" We're both at this age, how long can we stay together? ”

Jinxiu touched the corners of her forehead, what do you mean? What's wrong with this age?

Ye Shuiling chuckled: "You still don't know? Winter Sister is married! ”

Splendid just turned a corner: in this era, girls are going to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, Yang Dongmei means that everyone is going to get married, and there is not much time to play together!

"Dwarf oil! Who is it whose eyes are so vicious that they snatch our cornucopia away? Still won't let us live? ”

Jinxiu waved her hands and asked, the three of them laughed and laughed, you pushed me, and I was so happy.

Following Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling, Jinxiu knew why these two people could harvest more than others, Yang Dongmei has been in the mountains since she was a child, under the leadership of her ancestors, fathers and brothers, she knows everything about the mountains and forests in this area, after the little girls dispersed, she didn't stop at all, and went straight to the depths, her feet were like walking on the ground, and where the road was impassable, she waved a firewood knife in front of her and got into it, Ye Shuiling's girl looked at the white and tender water spirit, and she followed like a shadow, but Jinxiu was just a dozen steps behind at the beginning, and then gritted her teeth and tried hard to keep up, They waited for her twice more before they were left behind.

There are many treasures in unpopulated places, and it turns out to be true!

The three girls were less than five or six steps apart, and they searched for each other, and they all found very valuable mountain goods!

Ganoderma lucidum, matsutake mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, and other small shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, and ginseng!

Under the guidance of Yang Dongmei, Jinxiu dug up a ten-year-old ginseng tree, and her hands trembled - it was not that she had never seen ginseng in her previous life, it was concocted, but now she personally met a living one with branches and leaves and dug it out with her own hands, this experience is too amazing.

Yang Dongmei said with a smile, this ginseng is not very good, and the year is not high, it can probably be sold for more than ten taels of silver!

Ye Shuiling said, the house base in the village is three or two acres, and if you sell this, you can buy a house base of more than three acres, which is enough to build a new house and have a vegetable garden!

Jinxiu is also very happy in her heart: really, this trip has earned the base of the house!

Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling also got ginseng respectively, the year is unknown, and Jinxiu only understands now: yesterday these two girls looked disdainful at their walnut trees, it turns out that people have confidence!

Anyway, yesterday the sisters were out of breath and carried a heavy basket down the mountain, which was really hard! In the end, you only get a little more than a tael of silver!

And these two girls carry the basket gently and walk chicly, but I don't know how many times more money they get than them!

It turns out that the people who sweep the mountain goods are also divided into levels!

Jinxiu humbly followed Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling to study seriously, turned around a few times, and then went home.

Listening to Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling, the two of them can sell for more than a dozen taels of silver for Lingzhi alone, and even more with others!

The things in the splendid back basket, Yang Dongmei estimated for her, she could have fifteen or sixteen taels of silver, and the harvest of this trip was really good!
