"Snow, snowshoes?" For the first time in Xu Deren's life, his voice was broken.

After that, he coughed twice in embarrassment.

Ning Tao shook the things on his feet: "Look, that's it!" This stuff works! Wear it and your feet won't get stuck in the snow! You can go up and down the mountain freely! ”

Xu Deren nodded solemnly: "That, then also give me five pairs." ”

"Little Five! Bring five pairs of snowshoes to Shopkeeper Xu! ”

Xu Deren, who was carrying snowshoes, went back stupidly.

On this day, there was a long queue in front of the shop without a signboard, and it was overcrowded.

Li Wumei shouted at the door: "Don't squeeze! You can buy it, you can buy it! ”

The person who came out of the shop was full of joy holding snowshoes, and his mouth was full of joy: "It's okay now!" If you can go up the mountain to chop wood, you might even catch something! ”

"That's not it, I finally don't have to sell my daughter-in-law and daughter!"

At the end of the day, more than half of the snowshoes were sold.

Early the next morning, Qingyuan Town became lively.

Carrying an axe or a woodcutter on their backs, they all walked towards the gate of the city that entered the capital.

It's not to pick the ground, but the city gate to the border pass, which has been closed for several days, and only the city gate on the side of the capital is wide open.

Anyway, if you go out of the city, you can go into the mountains after walking for a while.

Where is the mountain not a mountain?

And Ning Tao was not idle, took two Wuling ginseng out of the house, and walked around the town.

Whenever you see a pharmacy or a pharmacy, you go in and ask for the price.

Those who know this thing, that little expression, is more exaggerated than seeing gold.

has this heart to beat Xiao Jiujiu, from time to time to set her up and talk, just want to figure out where she got this thing.

Ning Tao didn't hide it, because this trip was here for this!

pretended to be simple, and reported the name of the mountain behind Gongjiazhai.

When she met someone who didn't know the location, she would directly say: "It's in the mountain behind Gongjiazhai!" ”

But the place is small, and not everyone has the knowledge of Zhang Yao, and there are still many shopkeepers who can't recognize it.

For example, the one she is in at the moment.

"You're not afraid you're not a briquette, are you?"

Ning Tao smiled: "No wonder the shop is so small, it has something to do with your lack of money, right?" ”

The shopkeeper froze for a moment, and his face was not very good-looking, but it was even more ugly at the moment.

"Don't be upset! With your eyes, you don't deserve to make money! Any idea what this is? This is Wuling ginseng! If you don't know what Wuling ginseng does, then ask the shopkeeper of Deyi Hall! ”

The man's face changed again, first confused, then surprised.

Ning Tao didn't say much, and left directly.

Anyway, this person will send someone to another pharmacy or hospital to inquire.

Finally, after a day of shopping, I shook my hands behind my back and went home.

After that, everything was the same as she had planned.

The shopkeepers of those pharmacies and medical halls, on the second day, began to hire people into the mountains with a lot of money, and the purpose was only one - Wuling ginseng.

For this reason, it also drove the business of some people who painted pictures.

There are also those who can only beg for a living in the mountains, not only to chop wood, but also to be conscripted to dig medicine.

As soon as the news of the appearance of any treasure comes out, it is like having wings, and it can fly over as far as it goes.

No, on the second day, the old men of the big families in the town also learned.

Deyi Hall was very lively for a while.

Most of the people came to the door, and they all asked about the value of Wuling ginseng.

Zhang Yao was also frank and troublesome, and directly wrote the painting and market value of Wuling ginseng on it.

Whenever someone came to the door to ask, they pointed directly to the door.

It also saves those people from chatting with him all the time.

So, just like buying a lottery ticket, countless people joined it with the intention of making a windfall.

In just four days, the wages for hiring people to dig medicine in the mountains have changed from being charged for one penny a day a day to half a liter of millet a day, regardless of whether they can dig up medicinal materials or not.

Some of them are a bit of a mountain skill, and they are even worth as much as one liter of millet a day!

If you can bring back Wuling ginseng, a Wuling ginseng will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!

With the addition of these old men, the gate to Gongjiazhai has been opened since then.

One after another, they packed up.

At this time, Ning Tao was busy finding a private school for Xiao Jiu.

This is reading! Naturally, you have to find a good teacher!

After all, it is not only about fame, but also about teaching and educating people.

In the end, Xu Deren led her to meet an old talent.

The old gentleman is more than 60 years old and upright.

But people say that accepting students is not for money.

He is a talented duke, who receives the emperor's grain every year, and although he is not rich, he never lacks food and clothing.

He accepted students because the students fulfilled their wishes for him, and he was able to enter the Beijing imperial examination and be nominated for the gold list.

So he is very picky about the students he receives.

So much so that in his private school, there were only one or two students.

Ning Tao brought Xiao Jiu over that day, and Lao Shengxian didn't even ask Xiao Jiu what words he knew and what books he had read.

One asks about the ideal in my heart, the second asks the reason for my career, and the third asks about the regrets of life.

What Ning Tao didn't expect was that Xiao Jiu's answer made the old gentleman very satisfied.

Immediately accepted Xiao Jiu into the door.

On the way home, Zhou Xiaohe also cried all the way.

"That's it! Where is this? Just crying like this? ”

"Godmother, I'm happy!"

"I know!" Just when she laughs, when she wipes tears, she is either crazy or happy.

"The road to scientific research is still long! Xiao Jiu just touched the threshold! It's time for you to think about it in the future! ”

Speaking of which, Ning Tao mentioned the matter of the ready-to-wear shop.

"The ready-to-wear shop I mentioned to you before is not in a good year right now, and the business may not be good! Wait a little longer, and you should be able to get started! ”

When the people who went up the mountain come back and have wages, the economy of Qingyuan Town will be recycled, and there should be no problem.

"It's all up to the godmother's arrangement." Zhou Xiaohe nodded.

……

With the popularity of snowshoeing, piracy is inevitable.

This is also what Ning Tao expected!

She simply closed the shop.

Every other week, she goes to the third child to drag charcoal to sell it at Xu Deren, and if the snow does not melt, she will not be short of money!

But it's just that there's no shortage of money.

Because after the snowshoes were put on the market in large quantities, some charcoal-burning kilns in the past also began to hire workers to work.

A large amount of charcoal appeared, and she couldn't sell it for as high a price as before.

Ning Tao didn't think it was a loss, firstly, because this transaction was originally short-term, and secondly, how many of those charcoal kilns had more people hired by her?

If there are fewer people to work, the volume will not be large! There was no threat to her.

And her dream is to become a charter wife on Donglai Street!

In the days that followed, she was busy renting out the shop in her hand all day.

She didn't ask for rent, but signed a rent-free contract, and if the snow didn't melt for a day, her shop wouldn't charge rent.

But there is a clause that if someone spends money to rent it in the future, she has the right to take back the rent-free shop.

This can make people who have done business before very happy.

In just one week, twenty-six shops were all signed out.

Donglai Street is also slowly becoming lively.

There are snowshoes, firewood, hunting, and all kinds of strange trades.

Ning Tao was not idle, when she was busy renting out the shop before, she asked her sons and daughters-in-law to take plant ash to make potassium salt at home.

As soon as the shop in the front yard opened, it became a salt seller.

Due to the limited condition, the price is not expensive.

Fortunately, business is not bad.

After all, when you go up to the mountains to chop wood, hunt, and eat without salt.

With the liveliness of Donglai Street,

So much so that the comprador mothers-in-law of those big families often come here to shop, not only for the daily use of the comprador of the main family, but also for their own family, and often buy here.

With the increase in popularity, Donglai Street is becoming more and more prosperous.

When he earned the money, he took the initiative to find her and wanted to sign an agreement to rent the shop he operated.

Look, everything is going in a good direction!

When the news of Wuling ginseng spreads farther, as more gold panning teams come in, the gold panning era in Qingyuan Town is coming!

When the time comes, the attraction tickets and tourism economy will be arranged......

She just needs to lie at home and be a salted fish who wants to bask in the sun, bask in the moon, and bask in the moon!
