Chapter Seventy-Five: Rejoice
The next day, Wang Jishan happened to come and transported away the pickled salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs, Wen Jin unceremoniously took all the money in his hands, discussed with Wei Chenglan, bought land to build a house, and prepared to open a shop.
Wang Han only took two days to get the title deed of the thirteen acres of stone beach and gave it to Wen Jin: "Hehe, I explained the situation to Huang Xiangguan, and only accepted five taels of silver from you, and he stuffed the remaining five taels back into Wen Jin's hands: "If you want to open a shop, you can save a little bit, and there are more places to spend money later." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Wen Jin is not polite to him, and she knows that she doesn't need to be foolish to those who understand in her heart.
The people of Weijiawan have not farmed this year, and after selling the rattan baskets, many of them have gone out to work for a short time, a few days ago Wei Chenglan went home and sent a letter to let the clansmen come back, and the people of Weijiawan knew that the leader had a good idea, and of course they all hurriedly gathered. Unexpectedly, the leader took them to build a house for Wen Jin.
I heard that Wen Jin lent money to the people in their village to dig a pond, and also came up with the idea to let them make up an examination basket to sell, so that the people of a village can get through the difficulties and embark on the road of hope.
Wen Jin couldn't intervene at all, so he prepared for the opening of the store at home.
First of all, it is to let the villagers know the herbs first and know how to process them, for example, the branched mushroom she picked, the following is a kind of mushroom, called Zhu Ling. It also has a particularly ugly name, called Pig, just because it is black and coarse, like a pile of dried pig. Pig Ling dug out of the ground, the color of black and hard is called the old core, this is as a medicine of Zhu Ling, the color of the fresh gray-brown or yellow Zhu Ling, the general nucleus is soft, to continue to be buried in the soil, as a seed core, to grow up next year, and then continue to dig. The harvested sclerotia sclerotia should be removed from impurities, brushed with a brush, and then dried naturally in the sun, and then dried in a sack or bamboo basket for sale.
The skin of Zhu Ling is black and shiny, weight, solid, and the section is white or yellow, and there is a kind of Zhu Ling, which is thin and thin, commonly known as chicken poop, which can also be used in medicine, but the effect is not good, and the price is half cheaper.
Wen Jin wrote all of this, although most of the mountain people are illiterate, but occasionally there are literate, which can prove that she is not partial, fair and selfless when accepting the grade.
After the house was built and the shelves were placed on all sides, Wei Chenglan put the specimens of medicinal materials in a hollow rattan box and fixed them as a reference when receiving the goods, and Wen Jin's shop was opened.
Originally, Qian Xiancheng was asked to be the shopkeeper, but he was very resistant, and finally had to ask Dashan's father, Uncle Wang, to help.
At the beginning, the nearby mountain people were busy picking mountain goods, and Wang Jishan was overcrowded, and the pharmacy was deserted.
The people of Weijiawan only pick medicinal materials, do not pick mountain goods, and the nearby villagers are safe, but other people from the old road of Jinhe have been squeezed out of the sky, and there have been several large-scale brawls in the boundary of Shanyang, which injured many people, Liu Quanhan was so anxious that he issued a notice that the mountain people were not allowed to be xenophobic, but the people of the old road of Jinhe were still frightened when they saw the angry eyes of the mountain people, lest they be beaten by the black bricks.
Wen Jin didn't expect that the yield of Zhu Ling was very large, it generally appeared in pairs, if a litter was found, there was often a litter within three meters, and the small nest was only one or two catties, once she met a big nest, and the small half of the hill let her plane all over, and Mingshan dug for five days, collected seven hundred catties, just cleaned and brushed, seven or eight people worked for a day, and saw that behind her pharmacy, on the simple bamboo bench inside the fence, there was a foil made of thin bamboo and reeds, and there was a black Zhu Ling on it, which occupied an acre of land. The whole mountain nest village was shocked.
"Those pigs are enough for a family of five to eat for a year." Wen Jin told the people who watched the excitement.
"More than that!" Wei Chenglan added, "Jin'er is still a child, when other people's families are like her, fine rice and white noodles all year round, if you buy coarse grains and don't eat meat, you won't be able to eat it in two years." ”
When going up the mountain, not only carrying bamboo baskets, many people also brought small hoes, and saw that the surface was a little empty, so they used a hoe to plane, and some people even dug up Zhu Ling and brought it to Wen Jin's store to sell.
Some people benefit, some people are red-eyed, there are more people digging medicinal herbs, there are many fewer fights in the mountains, people take what they need, and they are still too busy with their own affairs, where is there time to take care of others?
In other places in Shanyang County, there were small-scale fights later, only Minghua Town and Xianglan Town near Linjin Town were relatively peaceful. Township official Huang Dong reported the matter to Liu Quanhan, and the county magistrate couldn't help but sigh again, his jurisdiction, there are more characters like Qian Wenjin, it would be good. It's just that when he heard the news, it was already snowing heavily, and he had the intention to guide the villagers in other places to learn to dig medicinal herbs, but it was too late.
Fortunately, Wen Jin's rice field did not return to stubble and sow this year, and all people set up foil to dry medicinal materials, and a dumb man and an uncle set up a grass house to guard the ground.
Because the medicinal materials are dried very slowly, Wen Jin does not buy much fresh, and the medicinal materials collected by the villagers, she only took the specimens to check them, and made sure that they were correct, so she let them go home to dry, and the whole Shanwo Village was shrouded in a strong smell of medicinal materials.
Wen Jin's lotus seeds used to be sold as food, but in the last batch, she tried to transport the first batch of dried medicinal materials to Baicaotang in Pingling Mansion. Sure enough, the price was more than 10% higher, and she received more than a dozen taels of silver for this item.
Wen Jin and Wei Chenglan said that her shop wants to take 30% of the profits of medicinal materials, Wei Chenglan has no objection, he also wants to save money as soon as possible so that he can expand his business.
The people of Weijiawan received the first money for selling medicines, and it was already a month after they started collecting medicines.
Wei Chenglan took a basket of copper coins and a few silver coins: "Uncle and uncle, brothers and sisters, you nest in the grass nest in front of the mountain every day, suffering hardships and tiredness, this is the first recycling, we have been in the mountain for two months last year, we are not afraid of hunger in winter." ”
"Really?" Several slightly older people are excited: "We can raise pigs, fish, ducks, and sheep this year, and we can catch up with the income in the fields of previous years. "Well, the year after tomorrow, we will plough this year's alfalfa land and try to plant rice, if it can be successful, we will live in Weijiawan." Wei Chenglan was also very excited.
