Forty-sixth fairy grass
When the old man killed two chickens and took three kinds of white stewed "white dew soup" in Luozhi, she saw the fresh dendrobium in the bamboo basket, she stood on her feet and pondered, stewed the chicken soup, and took the dendrobium to the backyard to find the grandfather who was working in the wasteland.
"You said you saw this pigweed in Xinglin Hall?" The old man looked at the pigweed in his hand in disbelief, isn't it pigweed? The people of Mujia Village still don't look down on this thing when they cut pigweed! Pigs raised at home prefer to eat sweet potato leaves and macaroni.
Luozhi ......
Hogweed, Hogweed, Hogweed......
"Grandpa, didn't I go to Xinglintang to buy medicinal herbs for braised peanuts? I saw it in the medicine cabinet, "Of course, I haven't seen it in Xinglin Hall, but Dendrobium officinale is a very valuable nourishing medicinal material, so she doesn't believe that the people in the medical hall don't know the goods."
The old man took Ah Li's horse and carried the basket on his back and went out.
The history of Mujia Village is only more than 50 years. Most of the original more than 100 villagers were refugees who fled during the flood shortage, so it is different from the general village where a single family rises - the ancestors of a village are all a family, and the patriarch comes forward to coordinate when something happens. As a result, in a certain year, in order to seize the so-called feng shui treasure, the villagers also had a vicious group brawl, which injured several lives, so as to alarm the county magistrate.
The county magistrate is educated, and when the case is heard, in addition to the first offender, the two families involved will be relocated to other villages.
For that piece of feng shui treasure, the county master also disposed of it properly. He enclosed the center of the land separately, and then divided the surrounding land into eight pieces according to the size of one acre, and sold it to the people who fought for the land at the price of eight taels of land. Then he took the sixty-four taels of silver obtained from the sale of the land and compensated the two families who had to move the dead and had to move their homes, and one family gave twenty-two taels. In the end, with the remaining twenty taels of silver, a well was dug in the land left in the middle, and a mill was built for the whole village to share.
Regarding the disposal of the county magistrate, not to mention how the people in the village were convinced, it is only said that after Luozhi heard about this incident, he also changed the impression of the county magistrate in the previous film and television drama with a treacherous face and a predatory common people, and re-examined the role of the scholar clan - the intellectual class in this world.
The impact of the popular disposition is far-reaching.
In short, since then, the village has changed the previous convention of getting a homestead free of charge, and unified a new land division rule: the newly settled families need to buy land at a price of six taels of silver, and the descendants of the old households in the village will buy the homestead at half or three taels of silver.
The money obtained from the purchase of land is being managed and used for the construction of public facilities such as roads and bridges, mills, and drying yards in the village.
Because the imperial court stipulates that the village is served by the ten households with the most fields, and then every three years, even if there is no open system of government accounts in the previous life, there is no one who covers the sky.
Over the years, the villagers have tasted the benefits of selling land, and they have become more and more strict about the rules of homesteads: every homestead allocated is a square acre of land, and there are six-foot passages between the land, the front and back, the left and right, and no one in the neighborhoods can hinder anyone, and no one wants to take advantage of anyone -- this will not know how many disputes there are.
After that year, the county magistrate moved to demarcate the land, and now the land in this village, even the grass on it, has its own owner – it cannot be cut casually. So the old man took Ah Shu directly to the common riverbank in the village.
After digging for an hour, a mountain of dendrobium was piled up in the courtyard of Luozhi's house.
Seeing that Grandpa was holding a sickle and was about to cut the grass and roots, Luozhi hurriedly ran out of the stove room: "Grandpa, look, our water spinach has been cut and grown, grown and cut, will this dendrobium be like this?"
Thanks to the blessing of the developed network in her previous life, Luozhi saw that her mother only bought a few fresh dendrobiums for 300 oceans, and her flesh hurt tightly. With the concept of do-it-yourself food and clothing, she deliberately looked up the cuttings planting method of Dendrobium on the Internet at that time. What made her spray rice was that it was not difficult to plant this dendrobium at all. In addition to transplanting, you can also take cuttings, she took two fresh branches and pruned them casually and inserted them in the flower soil, dug up moss in the park at the door of the house, and actually lived, and the flowers bloomed in the spring of the second year, and my mother cut the dendrobium strips to squeeze juice and drink.
This dendrobium strip is drunk from spring to late autumn, which is simply not too long. Even if a branch is cut to live, this root should be easier.
The little granddaughter said it so reasonably, he was powerless to refute it.
In this way, the family took scissors to cut off the branches one by one, and planted the roots into the newly bought wasteland in the backyard, and the granddaughter said that it was better to plant dendrobium on the land with stone forests.
The old man saw that it was still early, so he took four baskets and filled them with fresh dendrobium strips, covered them with sun-dried peanut seedlings, and put things on the back of the mule with Ah Shu, and entered the city.
Today, Ji'an Town also carried out the Bailu sacrifice activities, many people who went into the city to see the lively surrounding villagers have not dispersed, the old man went directly to Xinglin Hall, the medical hall is generally poor because of the Zhuang family, so here, it is not easy to bump into acquaintances, the old man is quite scheming.
As Luo Zhi said, this pigweed is really worth a lot of money, or what "immortal grass", "fairy grass", "soul rejuvenation grass" and "life-saving fairy grass", every name that the shopkeeper said made his heart flutter in the ears of the old man. Even if this thing has such an effect, the price is really low.
The shopkeeper repeatedly emphasized that he wanted as many dendrobiums as he wanted, including flowers and leaves, and he collected them all. As soon as these words came out, the old man couldn't sit still, just now the family picked all the flowers and leaves, and left them in the yard, he had to hurry back to tidy up.
Four frames of dendrobium fresh strips totaled 287 catties, one catty 200 wen, a total of 57 taels of silver.
The old man seemed to step on the colorful auspicious clouds and returned home.
When he got home, he asked his granddaughter to collect the money, hurriedly took the bamboo sieve to dry the leaves and yellow flowers of the dendrobium, and took Ah Shu and Luo'an to dig the dendrobium again.
Before dinner, the old man dug nearly 600 catties of dendrobium, thinking that someone would come to the house for dinner in a while, so he put the dendrobium in the back cover room.
In the evening, two tables were opened, Grandpa, Li Zheng, the patriarch, Mu Yinghua, the eldest son of Li Zheng, and the eldest son of the patriarch, Mu Yexian, Mu Langzhong, Mu Fourth Uncle, and Mu Luojing, were just one table.
On the women's table, Grandma Gui and the patriarch's wife Mu Yu sit on the main seat, on the left are Mu Chen and Mu Si Aunt, on the right Mu Yinghua's daughter-in-law Mu Qian, Mu Yexian's daughter-in-law Mu Li, Luo Zhi and Mu Ying sit at the bottom, and Luo An and other five radish heads are placed on a few sheets, and the adults give them vegetables to eat by themselves.
Luozhi has nothing to say about this craft, it's this", Li is eating a piece of braised pork knuckles, soft and glutinous, stretching out a thumb, everyone echoes and nods, this table is full of dishes, not to mention, the taste is really eager to swallow the tongue!
"It's the first time I've eaten fried water spinach with oil residue, and the taste is actually more fragrant than meat", the patriarch sandwiched a chopsticks of water spinach, this taste is absolutely amazing.
"Three pieces of raw, three pieces of cooked, three pieces of uncooked and three pieces" This is a song that has been handed down in the old man, ridiculing the gluttonous daughter-in-law with a spoon and stealing her mouth, in the present world of food shortage, gluttony is a taboo for being a daughter-in-law. Therefore, women in this world cook dishes by feel, without taste.
Luozhi took the spoon to cook an afternoon dish, although he didn't steal his mouth, but the taste of the dish was tasted, and he was still very confident in his craft.
Mu Yushi raised his eyes and carefully looked at this little girl who was like an invisible person in Mujia Village before: a pair of big black eyes on her white face like glutinous rice dumplings, curved eyebrows, slightly upturned nose tips and upturned corners of her mouth, all of which revealed a sense of joy, which made people can't help but be happy when they see it.
Look at her bun coiled on the top of her head, smooth and smooth, not messy; The collar of the Xia Bu shirt and pants on the body is delicately embroidered, and the face plate is even more beautiful; A pair of cloth shoes on his feet, washed and brushed spotlessly – this child, Yu Shi was amazed, and it was not ordinarily clean.
Looking at Luozhi's clothes carefully, she smacked her tongue, my obedient, she saw that Furuixiang Embroidery Village was going to sell 500 Wen in this ready-to-wear dress, it was terrible!
Everyone was full of wine and food. The men chatted in the courtyard, and the women, except for Grandma Gui and Grandma Yu, helped Luozhi tidy up the kitchen.
At the beginning of the confession ceremony, Ah Shu, no, it should be called Mu Luojing, knelt down to the ground on Grandpa's forehead and bowed three times, and changed his name to "Grandpa," Master Mu took out a piece of sterling silver longevity lock and hung it on his neck, and the ceremony was completed.
Luozhi and Luo'an changed their words, calling Mu Luojing "big brother", and they each got a piece of sterling silver longevity lock, and the old man brought it for them respectively.
The bright silver lock glowed warmly in the moonlight, and the eyes of the women present were a little hot. Who doesn't have a child yet, this longevity lock for the child to wear auspiciousness, blessings and longevity, to avoid disasters and drive away evil spirits. But now it is only one piece when the grandchildren of the main family were born, and the weight is only two dollars.
Mu Qian, who knows how to settle accounts, secretly calculated in his heart that this piece of longevity lock weighs one tael, and three will cost three taels of silver, plus one-tenth of the fire consumption, which is three taels or three dollars. Oh my boy, that's a lot of money!
There is a good income of the Zhuang family all year round, and there is a surplus of three taels of silver, and this family spends so much money on the whole long-life lock for the children.
Everyone suddenly found out that this Mu Gui and a thatched house are still that thatched house, but the demeanor and speech temperament of this family seems to be very different from the past.
The family saw off the guests, and then went to the back cover room to start cutting dendrobium strips, and the leaves and yellow flowers were left. After packing up the branches, planting dendrobium roots while there was dew at night, the family was busy until the middle of the moon, and then washed and went to sleep.
Nothing was said all night.
Leaving Ah Shu and Luo'an to look after the house, the old man took Luozhi out of the house and entered the city in the morning light. Now there is so much gold and silver in the house, but there is no empty house, in case there is that bad heart, I have to pay more attention.
The first stop went straight to Xinglin Hall, the shopkeeper was deeply impressed by the old man, saw the old man come in, and hurriedly walked out of the counter.
Luozhi was informed by the shopkeeper that this Xinglintang had nearly 100 large and small shops in this Daqing Dynasty, and in addition to operating a medical hall, the wholesale sale of various precious tonic herbs was the main business of their owner. Ji'an Town is one of the smallest, yesterday received this fairy grass he sent to the city overnight, today since opening the shop door has been waiting for the old man to come to the door.
After weighing the frame, a total of 588 catties of fresh strips, 200 wen per catty, and 117 taels of silver were obtained
Dendrobium leaves are 80 catties, one catty is fifteen wen, and one or two dollars of silver is obtained.
Dendrobium flowers are 55 catties, 50 wen a catty, and silver is 22750 wen.
