Xia He watched An Youniang leave, she had something to say but didn't dare to step forward, since she knew that An Youniang was Miss An's family, she didn't know how to face her.

"Auntie, then I'll go." An Youniang said hello to Xia He and got into the carriage.

Xia He smiled reluctantly and waved his hand.

Liu Shi watched inexplicably from the sidelines, what happened to this eldest daughter-in-law?

"Auntie, I want to talk to you about something." Ma Yuan still decided to get up and do the right thing first.

"What's the matter?" Liu raised his vigilance, feeling that the other party was uneasy and kind.

"It's whether your old house can be sold to me, I don't think your family should be able to use it, you can rest assured that I won't move a single grass or tree, a table and a chair, I just want to have a place to sleep."

Liu raised his head, the other party was really uneasy and kind, he stayed for one night yesterday, and he planned to buy a house today, didn't he rely on his own home.

"Auntie, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, you think about it for three days, and I will live in your house for these three days." Ma Yuan finished speaking before Liu Shi spoke, and slipped away without giving Liu a chance to react.

"Mother, let your brother Ma stay for three days." Ruan Dashan's voice came from behind Liu's back, he knew that Ma Yuan had also contributed when he went home yesterday, and he wanted to thank him in this way.

Liu didn't reply, she shouldn't have promised Ma Yuan to stay from the beginning, she was afraid that the old house would really be sold now, otherwise Ma Yuan would always be looking for opportunities.

"Okay, you've done everything in your hands, come to the hall, I have something to say." Liu instructed the others.

Ruan An'an looked at Liu's family, and then at Sun Yue'e, she had never had a chance to ask about the deed today.

"Is there something wrong with An An?" Sun Yue'e asked when she saw Ruan An'an looking at herself.

Ruan Anan nodded, "I have something I want to ask." ”

"Shh Sun Yue'e knew what she wanted to ask, and raised her index finger, "My mother will tell you later, don't ask now." ”

Ruan Anan nodded and walked to the hall.

"I know that the family's money to build a house and buy a mountain has been almost spent, and you have always been worried about making money, especially ice powder, which has also taught others how to do it, so you are even more worried." Liu said.

Xia He lowered her head, it wasn't that she was stingy, but she was worried that Ruan Tao would be too cold and looked down on when she got married.

"But now that there is a new income at home, we can collect eight taels of silver every month for the cooperation with Ruyi Pavilion, and we can earn six taels of silver after deducting the money used to buy sugar." Fortunately, Ruan Nan charged the cost price, otherwise they would have used more money to buy sugar.

"In addition to this, I also plan to open a small shop in the county, but I have to let two people be in charge of this store, Meizi and Haozi have had the experience of selling ice powder before, so I plan to continue to let them be responsible for selling, do you have any opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads, leaving no opinion.

"Grandma, can we do it?" Zhao Mei was a little worried, opening a store, which she had never expected.

Liu patted Zhao Mei on the shoulder, "I believe in you." ”

"Okay, since we have opened a store, we have to sell something, you all think about what you want to sell, let's order it again tomorrow night, what do you say over there?" Ryu asked, she hadn't even had a chance to ask him how he was talking when she came back from the mountains.

"My former classmate only had peach trees and mulberry trees at home, and we should need peach trees, but he only had 30 in his house, and it was because there were too many reservations from one outsider." Ruan Dashan's tone was a little heavy.

"Uncle, why don't we plant mulberry trees?" Ruan Anan asked curiously, how good is the mulberry tree, the whole body is full of treasures.

"An An, you don't know, mulberry trees are only planted by raising mulberries, but how can our family afford that kind of expensive things, so why do we still plant them."

Fortunately, Ruan Anan used to like to walk around and experience different customs, if she is a small village, it is called Zisang Village, where every family has planted mulberry trees, and every family raises silkworms, and because of their good silk quality, so she is very famous, she stayed in that village for three months, so she also learned a lot of mulberry trees, silkworm raising skills.

"Uncle, in fact, the value of mulberry trees is very high, mulberry trees are hard, and can be used to make furniture, or as raw materials for the manufacture of agricultural production tools, such as mulberry branches and chariots. Mulberry wood can also be used to make bows, known as mulberry arcs, and can also be used to make paper and so on. The bark of the mulberry tree can also be used as medicinal materials, papermaking, etc., and the dead branches of the mulberry tree can also be used as dry firewood; Mulberry leaves are not only the primary feed for silkworms, but also can be used as medicinal materials, soil pesticides, tea, etc. The fruit of the mulberry tree has a sweet and sour taste, a lot of juice, a good taste and excellent nutritional value, in addition, mulberries can also be used to make wine, processed into juice and so on. ”

Ruan Dashan was blinded, "The mulberry tree is really so good?" ”

Ruan Anan nodded, and shook his head again, "In fact, its value is not only that, it also has good medicinal value, mulberry leaves, mulberry bark, and mulberry root can all be used in medicine." Mulberry leaves are mainly used to treat wind-heat colds, headaches, coughs, clear the lungs, brighten the eyes, and so on. The effect of mulberry root is to clear away heat and calm shock, and dispel wind and channel. It is often used to treat symptoms such as epilepsy, eye redness, toothache, musculoskeletal pain, etc. Mulberry peel has the effect of diarrhea and asthma, dilution and swelling, and can be used to treat lung heat, asthma, fullness and shortness, edema, athlete's foot, poor urination, etc. ”

Ruan Dashan was stunned, "This mulberry tree can still be used as medicine, then I will go to my former classmate tomorrow to settle down, and I will plant the whole mountain with mulberry trees." ”

Ruan An'an had another idea in her heart, when the time comes, it will not be her own family that will plant mulberry trees, and I don't know if she can build another Zisang village here.

Soon Ruan Dashan's face fell again, "But the mulberry tree is so expensive, one peach tree is one hundred and fifty wen, and the mulberry tree is five hundred wen." ”

"So expensive! That's half a tael of silver. Xia He couldn't help but call out.

Liu Shi glanced at Xia He, "An An can know that there are so many uses of mulberry trees, so others must also know, of course it is expensive." Ruan An'an showed her talent, and the Liu family was happy and scared, for fear that Ruan An'an would be discovered by others, and she was different.

"Mother, but where does our family have so much money?" Xia He was a little worried, he didn't see a cent of the money he earned, but he spent a lot.

"The mountain has ordered thirty peach trees first, and we will plant the peach trees first when we clear the mountain."

Liu's words made Xia He breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't use too much money.

Ruan Dashan was a little disappointed, after listening to Ruan An'an, he really wanted to plant mulberry trees, but the price was indeed not affordable for their family.

In fact, he was not the only one who was disappointed, many people were moved.

"When the shop in the county town makes money, we will buy the mulberry tree back." Liu said in order not to disappoint everyone too much.

No one mentioned what to do if the store didn't make money, because they knew that they had to make money back.

"And the soap made of plums is also very good, although our family can't sell it now, but it also saves us a lot of money, and we don't have to buy bath beans to wash our hair and bathe in the future, but you have to remember that this matter must be kept secret, and no one can say it, including your mother's family." Liu deliberately emphasized.

Zhao Mei, Xia He, and Sun Yue'e nodded in unison, "Don't worry, mother, I definitely won't say it." ”

"By the way, there's one more thing." Ryu continued.

Why is it silent
