After the first batch of medicinal materials, Wen Jin lived three or five days, and she was going to go to Fucheng, and when she came back, she always had to pull a basket of copper coins, and there were a few silver coins hidden in the secret compartment of the ox cart, which was her profit, and the underground money box in front of the kang in her room was already full of a layer of silver ingots, and now she was going to start stacking the second layer.

Picking medicine than picking mountain goods, the time continues much longer, that is, after the frost, there are also medicinal materials to dig, Shanwo Village, only the old and weak women and children are left during the day, adult men, carry the medicine hoe up the mountain every day, although the weather is cold can not dig Zhu Ling, but there are salvia, gastrodia and so on.

Winter gastrodia can not see anything on the ground, it is difficult to dig, but it is the best quality, many people dig Zhu Ling, good fortune encountered, quietly make a mark, now dig back, in Wen Jin to check correct, can't help but be ecstatic. The price of gastrodia is three or four times more expensive than Zhu Ling, especially winter hemp, a pound of dry, can be eaten by a family of five for two or three months, and the villagers occasionally dig a nest, all as treasures.

Salvia is also quite expensive, so although people who often go up the mountain are empty-handed, they still enjoy it, because even if there is one income a month, it is worth it.

Uncle Wang is old, when he is busy, he can't adapt to such a large amount of labor, Qian Xiancheng has no choice, so he has to help, come and go, winter is coming, Uncle Wang can't go out at all, the store is all supported by him, Wen Jin and Wei Chenglan pretend not to see, only care about their own busy, Qian Xiancheng has no choice, so he has to be busy from morning to night every day.

Although he strongly opposed Wen Jin's business, he couldn't watch Wen Jin be too busy to stand by, and he was very reliable, serious and responsible. I also thought that Wen Jin wrote out the profile and posted it in the store was not good, so he re-copied it when he had time, matched it with a pattern, and pasted it in the store.

Wen Jin and Wei Chenglan secretly had fun behind their backs.

When the first heavy snow fell, no one went up the mountain to collect medicine, so Wen Jin and Wei Chenglan took a breath and sent the people from Weijiawan back.

"Unexpectedly, Wen Jin, you have opened another way for us to make money, and the people of Weijiawan will not be afraid of starvation." In the inverted room, Wei Chenglan sat on the hot kang, Wen Jin sat on the horse in the middle of the room, guarding the brazier, and the two chatted.

"Uncle, I ate wild peaches that year, buried the kernel in the ground, and seven peach trees grew the next year, why did I plant kiwi seeds in a pot last year, but few of them grew?"

"What kind of kiwi do you think can really be bigger?"

"Of course, uncle, don't you think it's delicious? Also, the kiwi fruit is very soft when it is ripe, we pick it when it is almost ripe, because it is still hard, it is very easy to transport, the customer buys it home, and the ripe fruit, even if it is wheat together, it will be ripe and soft in three days, it can be said that it is delicious and easy to put, and it should be marketed when it is transported into the city, and besides, it can also be dried in the sun, or honey, made sauce, and wine, all of which are OK. ”

"Well, what you say, it's okay." Wei Chenglan was a little tempted.

"Uncle, why didn't I come out? This spring, I planted hundreds of seeds, and only a few dozen seedlings came out. ”

Wei Chenglan blinked her eyes and thought for a long time: "Oh, by the way, where are your seeds?" ”

"In a bag, hanging from the beam."

"That's it, the tree species, you have to freeze it in the cold weather, and freeze the shell before it can emerge, the peaches you ate at that time, are they only seedlings the next year?"

"But ......"

"Nothing!" Wei Chenglan stretched out her feet to put on her shoes, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to freeze the seeds." ”

The two came to Wen Jin's house, and when they put down the basket from the roof beam and took out the seeds, Wei Chenglan was dumbfounded, he never thought that the seeds of a big tree were only the size of sesame seeds.

"I guess I don't need to freeze, right? It is not like walnut and apricot seeds, which have wooden shells on the outside. Wen Jin said.

"But it's too small to get out of the skin, so let's freeze it." By the way, try freezing half of it. ”

"Okay." This year, Wen Jin was prepared, and when the kiwifruit was ripe, he went into the mountain several times, squeezed out the seeds from the soft flesh, rinsed them in water, dried them, and collected a small half of the bag.

The two of them moved the flower pots, spread them with fine sand, sprinkled them with seeds, covered them, and then dug a pit in the backyard and buried them.

The snow melted a little, and the road was easy to walk, so Wei Chenglan left a dumb man to guard the shop, and he returned to Weijiawan.

Wei Chenglan estimated that he would not come again a year ago, so Wen Jin asked him to bring some rice.

Now in Weijiawan, there are also fish and ducks, and Wei Chenglan doesn't need her sponsorship.

Since Wen Jin broke up the family, Wei and Qian Xiancheng were a little awkward when they saw her, although they were still very concerned about Wen Jin's food and clothing, but they didn't talk as much as before, Wei Shi also came to send his younger brother, seeing that Wen Jin was dressed thinly, he frowned slightly: "The snow is not cold, why don't you wear a coat?" ”

"I'd like to try this eiderdown dress you made me to keep it warm."

"Tossing around, can this be warm?" Wei couldn't resist Wen Jin, so she made this dress, and Wen Han made it, but she was not optimistic about it, and when she did it, she was reluctant to do it.

"But I'm really not cold." Wen Jin reached out and grabbed the back of Webster's hand, probably feeling that Wen Jin's hand was hot, but Webster didn't say anything.

Wei Chenglan's donkey cart was out of sight, and the two turned around and prepared to go home.

At this moment, an ox cart came around the corner at the entrance of the village, and the driver was an old man in his fifties, who saw Wen Jin and Wei Shi, jumped down from the ox cart, let the ox cart go slowly, ran a few steps by himself, and saluted this side with his fists: "Excuse me, is this the Qian family of Shanwo Village?" ”

The old man's spirit is very good, he wears a small cotton jacket, a cotton coat on the outside, no buttons, the mountain wind is cold, and the hem of the clothes moves back and forth, but he doesn't feel it at all, his body is straight, just to avoid suspicion, he lowers his head and looks to the ground.

Wei Shi obviously had a good impression of the visitor, and replied with a smile: "This is the Qian family, is the old man looking for a grandson?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and saluted: "I'm looking for Qian Wenjin, I don't know who your family is?" ”

"What are you looking for from me?" Wen Jin is very strange, I don't know you.

The old man didn't expect that the person he was looking for was a child, and he blinked violently, and the ox cart came over, and he quickly shouted, braked the cart, and then put down the footstool, and out of the ox cart came a woman about the same age as Merriam-Webster, followed by a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

The woman was dressed in a home-woven indigo muslin cotton coat, with long eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall and thin figure, Wen Jin estimated that she was at least one meter seven, half a head taller than Webster.

"The Hou family of the slave family, the Shi Qihou family of Shiwei Village, has something to ask for help from Qian Wenjin and Qian Gongzi, but I am really forced to have no choice but to take the liberty of bothering, please forgive me."

Shihou's face was sad, but he was still polite and well-behaved, and at first glance, he was cultivated and had seen the world.

The driver saluted behind Hou: "My name is Shi Qiwang." ”

Shi Wei, when he hears the name of this village, he can't help but think of the army. The army of the Jurong Dynasty has long been without a guard, and Shiwei is still the name left by the previous dynasty. But the people of Shiwei Village still maintain many of the habits of soldiers, such as getting up early to practice martial arts, and not stopping in winter and summer. Wen Jin suddenly realized why the old man was in such good spirits, not afraid of cold, and his feelings were people with martial arts.

Hou's clothes are also very thin, and his gestures are very neat, so he should have also practiced martial arts.

"Distinguished guests, please come in, it's cold outside!" Merriam-Webster spoke.

Qian Xiancheng was still a little angry with Wei Chenglan, he was only sent to the gate just now, and returned home first, and at this moment, he heard his wife talking to people outside, and walked out again: "Where did you come from?" Come on in,"

Qian Xiancheng politely asked someone to come in half-sideways, while Wei and Wen Jin came in first and let them out of the door.

Shi Qiwang bowed his head and walked behind Shi Hou and the little boy, feeling that he was like a servant, but not like a servant.

Wei and Hou entered the east room, Qian Xiancheng and Shi Qiwang sat in the main room of the upper room, Wen Jin quickly boiled water to make tea, brought it into the upper room, and put it on the two people in the outer room first, only then did they ask for permission at the door, and then sent refreshments to the two women in the inner room. After finishing this, Wen Jin sat beside Qian Xiancheng.

"This uncle doesn't know what to do with me?"

Qian Xiancheng glanced at Wen Jin in surprise, he thought that the person who came was looking for him, the head of the family.

Shi Qiwang seemed to be a little embarrassed, lowered his head and drank tea, with a very tangled expression on his face.

Qian Xiancheng sympathetically refilled the teacup he put down: "What's so difficult about my brother?" Did you hear it wrong? Is it true that he came to find Wen Jin? She was still a child. ”

Shi Qiwang knew that Wen Jin was a child, his face was not less entangled, and he didn't know what to do at the moment, so he sighed vigorously: "Alas, it's hard to say." ”

"What the hell is going on? If Qian could help, he would definitely not sit idly by. ”

Wen Jin glanced at the second uncle, Qian Xiancheng suddenly blushed a little, and felt that Wen Jin's glance contained doubts about his ability, and he suddenly became inexplicably ashamed.

Shi Qiwang didn't notice this, he just cared about his own entanglement, and drank three cups of tea in a row, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "Our young master, because of the fight was arrested by the government, it has been more than two months, we have been running in many ways, but we have not been able to rescue him, two days ago I heard that the county master highly respected a person named Qian Wenjin, someone came up with an idea, with her help to say good things, the county master will definitely release people, I just came here rashly, who knows that it is groundless, I didn't expect that Qian Xiaogongzi is still a child." Alas, I didn't expect us to be so shamed again. ”

Qian Xiancheng pouted slightly at Wen Jin, and his waist straightened up: "Are you here to find Qian Wenhan?" That's my son, who took the county exam this year and topped the exam. ”

"Your son-in-law really got the top spot in the exam? Did he go to study in another place? "yes, how do you know?"
