Chapter 69 Rich

After hearing Jinghan's words, the old man slapped his thigh, "Oh, what's wrong? We saw it at that time, but no one thought about it. Oh, this person seems to be old and his brain is not enough at all. Jinghan's brain is still smart, and he can think of it, okay, okay. Old woman, we really borrowed Jinghan's light this year. It was Jinghan's idea to go up the mountain to see the ginseng, farm, block ginseng seeds, and block gangsters. Which is not Jinghan's credit? This is a blessing from our Xu family, and such a lucky star came out." The old man remembered one after another and liked Jinghan more and more.

The old lady was standing aside, smiling at the little granddaughter, "No? Thanks to Jinghan's words, I came to the mountain to see the tour. Otherwise, we wouldn't know where to make money? Girl, what do you want? Grandma can do it for you."

Xue quickly said, "Mom, don't spoil her, that's all right? She's just a little girl, nothing is needed." Her daughter was praised, so how could she be unhappy when she was a mother? However, Xue still had to stop her and didn't dare to let the old man spoil her child too much.

Jinghan looked at the relatives in the room with smiles on his face and expectations for the future, and felt warm. "Grandpa, grandma, I don't want anything. Let's do this. If our family can have some extra money this year, can we send my elder brother and second brother to study in the town?" Jinghan has been thinking about this, and at this time, he finally asked.

The room was silent. The old man looked at the eight grandchildren in the room. The boy was smart and handsome, and the girl was pretty and gentle. They were all so cute. The old man was extremely proud, "Okay, grandpa promised you that I will definitely find a way to send Wenhan and Wencheng to study this year. Studying is a good thing, grandpa agrees."

Wen Han and Wen Cheng couldn't help laughing after hearing what their grandfather said, especially Wen Han, who really likes to study. The rest of the children were cheering, and the children's voices were heard in the room for a moment.

The old lady looked at the cheerful children, and her wrinkled face was filled with satisfaction, "Okay, let's have dinner first. After the meal, you should go to stop the sticks, what should you do? Everyone does their own things, and we girls still have to brush the sticks."

Everyone quickly lowered their heads to eat, and in a short while, they were all full. The children helped to clean up the table, and then everyone went to work.

The old man, Zhixin and Zhiming, of course, followed Wen Han and Wencheng to stop the sticks. With the addition of these three adults, the speed was much faster. The old man instructed him to watch carefully and not fall. In an afternoon, five people blocked two hundred feet of ginseng ground and even blocked eighteen or nineteen kilograms of sticks, which was really a lot.

In this way, the family worked hard for five days and finally stopped all the ginseng land. The old man asked the hammers to be placed alone. After the last pounding, they blocked more than 180 kilograms, which was almost as good as the output of their own family.

The whole family was very happy, and Jinghan secretly disagreed. In this era, it would be good for every household to build a dozen or so sticks a year, and there was no need to hire people, so they usually work meticulously and would not leave too many sticks. If Jinghan had put this in his previous life, the whole family could build a few hundred or even thousands of sticks, all of which were hired. How could the hired people give you so carefully? So many sticks would be left inside, like 1,500 or six hundred feet, and it would be like playing.

Jinghan secretly made up his mind to develop the ginseng at home. At that time, it would be several hundred feet a year, which would be a pleasure.

Of course, there were more whiskers, and there were fewer whiskers in the whole family. After all the things at home were finished, Chen led his wives to start brushing these. Just wash the whiskers with water, just wash them out bit by bit, and then put them in a large basin to steam. After three more days, all the whiskers were finished. Looking at the racks outside, there were dense forks, Chen's face was filled with joy.

After blocking the stick, Zhixin and Zhiming naturally went to make the loess again. Finally, they picked up all the loess. They also had to use a shovel to mix the loess with the black soil underground so that the stick could be planted.

Wen Han and Jinghan still go to the forest to get things every day, including winter mushrooms, hazelnuts, acorns, walnuts, pine towers, etc., and there is no place nearby, so they go far away. As they are far away from the sect, sometimes they will inevitably encounter large animals. Once, they just crossed a beam, and before they could walk down, they saw a group of wild boars walking by the bottom of the ditch below.

The children were so scared that they didn't dare to move. They all lay there, not daring to let out the air. They only got up until all the wild boars passed. Wen Han patted his chest and said in a panic, "We can't go too far in the future. What if something happens? I was scared to death just now."

Jinghan was also shocked. She really forgot that this was not her previous life. In this era, there were still many wild animals. "We will always bring arches and crossbows when we come out in the future. If there is something wrong, we can defend ourselves. However, it is better not to go too far." Jinghan looked at Jingwan behind her, Wenxuan and Wenchang. Once there was something wrong, she and her two brothers might not have anything to do, but she was afraid that these little ones would not work. "But, don't talk about what happened today, otherwise we wouldn't think of going into the mountains again in the future." Jinghan reminded.

Everyone nodded, "Don't worry, second sister, we understand. We have been on the mountain for so long, have we encountered such a large group of wild boars today? From now on, I will wander around the venue and walk away less far away." Wenxuan said quickly.

There was a shock, and no one was in the mood to continue, so they walked back. After returning, no one mentioned this matter, and they were safe and secure, only picking up acorns near the yard and not walking further away.

In September, all the ginseng in the family had dried up. Zhiming and Zhixin took the best ginseng in their family to the county and found the pharmacy he had been in. The shopkeeper was still good. He pulled Zhiming and said for a long time and asked this and that. "Zhiming, if something happened to you at that time, we can't do anything about it. The Qin family is well-known and can't do it well. We have to get in the Qingtang."

Zhiming has already seen it, so he doesn't care about these things. "The shopkeeper has gone. I'm very good and down-to-earth in planting ginseng with my father and brother. The shopkeeper, today I'm here to ask, do you want ginseng? This year's people's ginseng are bigger than last year's, and the quality is good."

The shopkeeper's eyes immediately lit up, "Well, how can you not? The ginseng in your house is big and has a good appearance, so of course you have to ask for it. You also know that not only we have a medicine shop, but also a medicinal product business. Your house's brace sold very well last year. I have to ask for it for as many as you have."

Zhixin and Zhiming took out all the ginseng they brought. The ones they brought were naturally those raised from home. The rest of the ones they stopped were not brought.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and looked at the ginseng in the Xu family. The big ones who were hidden by Jinghan before could have about 25 or kilograms of dried, and there were more than 6 kilograms of dry goods. The shopkeeper fell in love with them at a glance, "Zhiming, I want all these, especially these kilograms. In this way, I will give you three and a half kilograms of silver per kilogram, and the rest is the price last year, two and a half kilograms, will it be?" The bigger the ginseng, the more valuable it is.

Zhixin and Zhiming didn't expect it to be so happy, so they nodded and agreed, "Well, what else can you do? The shopkeeper's willingness will do it."

So I found a scale and weighed all the hammers. The big ones were 6 kilograms and 2 kilograms, and the remaining ones were 40 kilograms. After doing so, I bought a total of 121 kilograms and seven qian silver. After taking the silver, the two of them quickly walked back from the county. At night, they returned to the venue.

I told you that I had sold so much money this year, and everyone was very happy. You should know that they just sold the complete sticks, but the beards that fell when they were making goods have not been sold yet. In addition, the ones that were stopped were not sold. Even if the price was lower, they could still sell them for 60 or 70 taels of silver. Now, there is really no need to worry.

"Boss, you go to the town these two days. The old Liang who often collects sticks in the village, go find him and sell the rest. Then we pay back the money from the Lin family and Huixin first. It has been more than half a year. Since you have money, pay it back quickly." Chen calculated and decided to pay back the money he owed first to save him from thinking about it all day long. He always felt that it was a problem.

Zhixin nodded and agreed. The people in the Xu family were like this. If others borrowed something, they wouldn't feel anything. If they owe something from others, they would really always think about it, fearing that they would forget it. Once they had it, they would quickly return it. "Okay, mom, I understand."

The next day, Zhixin arrived in the town and sold all the remaining ones. The price this year was better than in previous years, and even beards could be sold for one or six cents per kilogram. In this case, the remaining fifty kilograms of beards and so on in the family were sold for exactly eighty cents. Now, this year, the 200 taels of silver were sold for only Bangmao. This is not a small amount. I paid back all the famine I owe and could still be left. This is something I dare not think about in spring. I didn’t expect that in just over half a year, the family could not only repay the famine, but also have a lot of silver left.

The old man immediately decided to send Wenhan and Wencheng to the town to study after he had planted a stick. "The village chief came over and said that he would start to plant on the third day of September this year, so that he could plant a stick on the sixth day of September. After planting a stick, Zhixin sent Wenhan and Wencheng to the town to study and find the best school. I think the family that Laowu went to was good. The master was from a juren, so it was enough to teach them."
