"Big brother, how much did those things sell today?" Taking advantage of the fact that the women in the family were serving food and rice, Mingtang, who had just washed his hands and face, came to Mingdi's side with excitement.

Mingdi avoided Mingtang's dripping face, "Chestnuts were sold for almost six taels, yams were sold for more than three taels, rabbits and pheasants were sold for almost two taels in total, herbs were sold for more than one tael, and together they were twelve taels and three hundred and thirty-six wen." ”

When the people of the Ming family heard this, they immediately smiled.

With these twelve taels of silver, their winter cotton clothes and quilts, as well as the gifts given to their relatives during the New Year, have all been settled.

Mingtang was also happy, but while he was happy, he couldn't help but wonder a little, "Why are the herbs sold so little?" Didn't you bring those from yesterday with you? ”

Mingdi wanted to roll his eyes at his stupid brother, and he reminded Mingtang, "Those haven't dried them yesterday, and the people in the medical hall are not stupid, so why will they accept your wet herbs." ”

Mingtang scratched his head, "I'll just say that this year, there is a big basket in our yard, and it turns out that we are drying medicinal herbs." ”

Mrs. Ming couldn't help but look at him, "It's thanks to you that you married a good daughter-in-law who has a plan in mind, otherwise you are careless, even if you let people sell you, you have to help someone count the money first." ”

Mingtang has a black line on his face - hey, hey, is this his mother? Surely not, right? How could my mother bury her son like this!

Mrs. Ming doesn't care what Mingtang thinks, one of the privileges of her mother-in-law is to tell the truth to her son!

She asked Old Man Ming, "The money comes from Xishan so quickly, so should we go into the mountain a few more times before winter?" ”

"I still have to go in. Although there are no more yams and chestnuts, and many medicinal herbs can no longer be collected, there are many rabbits and pheasants. "Old Man Ming didn't expect to make a lot of money in the next ten days, but the crops are living, but they don't just have to accumulate slowly bit by bit.

"I also saw hazelnuts and pine towers, although only a small piece." It was Erlang who said this, and he had been at the forefront today, so he knew more about the situation in Xishan.

"I also saw that there is a walnut tree over there that is not very big, and it should be able to beat a hundred pounds of almond walnuts." Yu Jiayan added with a pair of dark eyes on the side.

Hearing them say this, Mrs. Ming was a little disappointed, but she did not propose that the family continue to go deep into the hinterland of Xishan - of course the money is good, but what is better is the life of the family, which Mrs. Ming has never forgotten.

"Isn't it time for our family to save firewood?" Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, but the men in the family had no intention of going up the mountain to chop firewood, Zhou couldn't help but worry about how to keep out the cold this winter.

"It's really time." Mrs. Ming responded to Zhou's worries while distributing chopsticks to everyone, "I'll let your eldest brother and second brother chop wood tomorrow." ”

"Dad, uncle, then you cut more and come back, I'll be useful." Mingyue was about to appease the Five Organs Temple, which she was already hungry for, when she heard Mrs. Ming say chopping wood, she immediately put down her chopsticks, "I also want a few wooden shelves like those in our warehouse, which don't need to be so strong, just look like it and can hold about such a thick layer of wet soil." ”

Old Man Ming grabbed the vegetables for a moment, "Big girl, do you have any ideas for money again?" ”

Mingyue slapped Old Man Ming with a rainbow fart very quickly, "It's still my grandfather's brain that turns fast!" ”

Mingtang gave Mingyue a "You will be a sycophant" look while picking up rice, "If you want wet soil, are you going to plant something?" ”

Mingyue pretended not to understand what her third uncle's eyes were, she looked around at everyone present, "I want to grow some fresh and tender vegetables such as cabbage, pea seedlings, rape, shallots, coriander, spinach, chrysanthemum, and radish to sell to the rich and noble families in the town and county." ”

Mingtang's face was full of interest, "Which kind of do you want to go?" Our family is not one of those officials in the city, but we don't have the spare money to build a warm house for you to raise things. ”

Yu Jiayan, who was listening attentively to what they were saying, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "Sister Mingyue, do you want to plant it in the house?" ”

"Clever!" Mingyue subconsciously snapped her fingers, and when she saw that Tao's eyes were red and about to cry, she hurriedly put her hand back, "Our house doesn't have a warm house, but our house has a whole six rooms with a fire kang." As soon as the fire is burning, our house is no different from a conservatory. ”

"Then you can't use the kind of wooden shelves in our barn, you have to use wooden troughs that can hold water." Mingtang's brain turned quickly, and as soon as Mingyue said that, he immediately figured out the key, "That's okay, when we finish collecting the mountain goods, the third uncle will make you a few." ”

Old Man Ming pinched his chopsticks and told Mingtang, "Make it stronger, don't rot it in just one year." ”

- The old man is obviously preparing to plant this out-of-season green vegetable every year in the future.

Mingtang's face was eager to try, "Then I'll go to cut down trees with my eldest brother and second brother tomorrow." Let's just cut it in the West Mountain, so that I can still take care of a few children. ”

"That's it." Old Man Ming made a final decision, "Okay, let's eat." ”

Xie Shi, who had been quietly listening to everyone's conversation, stopped talking.

Mingyue glanced at it and saw that she had already picked up the bowl and started to cook silently, so she didn't ask at this time.

waited until everyone got off the dinner table and began to get busy, Mingyue came to Xie's side to help her wash the dishes, "Auntie, did you want to tell my father about this kind of dish just now?" ”

Xie Shi's face was slightly red, "I, I just want to ask, this kind of is in the house, in case a relative comes to the door..."

Mingyue couldn't correctly comprehend the unfinished meaning of Xie's words, she asked Xie, "Are you worried that it doesn't look good and doesn't look good?" ”

"No, it's not." Xie unconsciously rubbed a pair of chopsticks in his hand, "I mean, if someone asks us how this dish is grown..."

Mingyue suddenly said, "Then tell him." ”

Xie Shi was taken aback, "What? Tell him? ”

Mingyue was frightened by her sudden increase in volume and took a step back, "Isn't it okay?" ”

Mrs. Ming, who was not far from them, turned her head when she heard the voice, "What's 'not good'?" What are you two talking about? Why are you still surprised? ”

Mingyue then repeated the conversation between herself and Xie to Mrs. Ming.

Mrs. Ming immediately realized what Xie wanted to say, and she groaned slightly, "When the boss and his brothers help the eldest girl make a wooden shelf, you concubines will go back to your parents' house." There are also Li Zheng's family, Dr. Li's family, Huang family, Wang family (Ming Lao Lady's house), and then there are chrysanthemums and lotuses. ”

Xie Shi was surprised and delighted, and at the same time a little apprehensive and suspicious, "Mother, this matter... Don't we have to discuss it with my dad first? ”

She wanted to pull her mother's family, but she was even more afraid of angering her in-laws, so before the old man nodded her head, even if she borrowed her two guts, she didn't dare to pass on the method of growing vegetables in this house back to her parents' house.
