After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

"That's good. The journey is too long. It would be inconvenient without ox carts or mule carts." Grandpa Lin said with a smile.

Then Uncle Fang and Lin Xiaoniu talked with everyone in detail about the plan to go out and collect the goods. Normally, there are many people collecting goods in the mountains every summer and autumn, but the prices are basically tacitly kept consistent.

As newcomers, they basically have no other choice except to make some concessions on price. People are realistic and will be willing to change the seller even for one more penny.

After all, it doesn't matter who you sell it to.

Then there is the issue of the region. Uncle Fang deliberately avoided the county town. Firstly, the terrain around the county town is relatively flat and there are few hunters, let alone a mountain village populated by pure hunters.

Another reason is that there are relatively more traders closer to the county town. After all, few of the leather collectors are poor. They are just starting out and cannot compete with those old traders.

In this case, a relatively remote place is the best choice. Fortunately, Uncle Fang is a hunter. He is familiar with the surrounding mountains, if not completely familiar with them, he basically knows something about them.

In the end, it was decided that the first stop for the two to receive the goods would be Fangjia Village. After all, it was Uncle Fang's hometown. The price was a little higher, and since they were all old acquaintances, they would give him some face and sell some to him.

But it is hard to say how good the material can be. However, Uncle Fang is in a very good mood. Even if the village cannot get the best leather, he still has a few pieces stockpiled at home!

This is because he couldn't bear to sell it because the price was not high enough!

Fortunately, I didn’t give up at that time!!!

After discussing these details, Uncle Fang and Hammer thought that things were almost over, but at this moment, Guangdan spoke.

"Grandpa, uncle, this is a serious business, and there is a lot of money and goods involved, so it is better to sign a contract."

Guangdan was a little annoyed at this time that he had forgotten this important matter before, so he took the opportunity to bring it up.

"Oh, yes, yes, we have to take this matter seriously. It's good to make money, but the old man has to say something ugly. If there is any accident on the road and you lose money, don't put the responsibility on us. We are in the same boat now, and we are all looking forward to the good."

After Grandpa Lin finished speaking, he looked at the two people in front of him seriously, but what made him feel relieved was that Uncle Fang and Hammer were not people who had never seen the world, and they naturally knew the risks.

Furthermore, because of the presence of Hammer, who used to run courier services, they felt more confident.

Grandpa Lin now unconditionally supports Guangdan, so the contract has been decided. Although there are several educated children in the family, Grandpa Lin still decided to ask the village chief to write the contract.

As a result, Lin Daniu was asked to go to the village chief's house and invite him to have lunch. In fact, when lunch was approaching, his great grandfather and fourth cousin were also invited. This was the first simple meeting of the people on the trip to the capital.

After Lin Daniu finished speaking, the village chief readily followed him to the Lin family.

In fact, the village chief had thought about selling charcoal, but he was unable to make a decision in the end. Whether it was the risks on the road or whether he could sell it in time, it was enough to make him worry.

To put it simply, the idea existed, but there had never been an opportunity to put it into action. This time it was just right. If there were more people on the road, it would be relatively safer.

Besides, the Lin family did have some tricks in the past year, and he wanted to get in touch with them to see if there was anything he didn't know.

Moreover, although the Lin family has been in decline for decades, they actually have several branches of the clan in the capital city. It's just that Linjia Village has become increasingly decadent in recent years, and fewer and fewer people can go to the capital city. As a result, there are relatively fewer contacts and they don't move around often. For these clansmen in Linjia Village, it doesn't really matter whether there are clansmen in the capital city or not.

But it was different for the village chief. When he thought of his grandson who was still studying in the county town, he felt that this trip to the provincial capital was a must.

It’s time for some clan members living outside to move around, even if it means sacrificing their dignity for the sake of their grandchildren’s future.

But when he arrived at the Lin family and heard about the contract, he was a little shocked.

Although he is the village chief, he rarely comes across matters that require contracts in addition to house and land deeds.

This has to do with the fact that the country people at that time basically did not think of using contracts to protect their rights and interests, but relied more on moral constraints.

So the Lin family's move made him somewhat speechless, and the content of the contract made his hand holding the brush tremble slightly.

What? Three families contributed a total of one hundred taels?

What’s more, the Lin family paid fifty taels themselves?

"Did I hear it correctly?" The village chief put down his pen and asked seriously.

If it was any other family, he would definitely not be so nosy, but everyone in the village knew how the Lin family had lived before, and now they were saying they wanted to pay fifty taels to buy the skins?

Isn't this a joke?

"Village chief, I heard you right. Haha, just write it." Grandpa Lin said and took a special look at his eldest daughter-in-law.

Just this one glance reminded the village chief of what his fifth brother had said before. Could it be that Fang Cuihua really had dug up some ginseng in the mountains?

Considering that the villagers had been quietly running to the mountains during this period, the village chief, who was originally skeptical about this matter, was somewhat at a loss.

Apart from digging ginseng in the mountains, is there any other way to make so much money so quickly?

There is no other way except this lucky accident, right?

Although he thought so in his mind, the village chief also wrote the contract seriously. In the end, there were three copies, one for the Lin family, one for the village chief, and the last one for Uncle Fang.

It’s the same old saying, no matter how Uncle Fang and Hammer settle the matter privately, the Lin family doesn’t care, and they will still find Uncle Fang when the time comes.

Lunch was still prepared by Cao Lian, the professional cook was Grandma Lin, and Erya and Fang Cuihua helped. It must be said that this mother and daughter duo basically had no talent in cooking.

Because it was a last-minute meal, there was no time to prepare any braised food, so we used the newly developed pickles and stewed preserved vegetables, making a large table full of both meat and vegetable dishes.

Relatively speaking, the farm dishes are already very good, but these small pickles have attracted everyone's attention.

Grandma Lin next to her felt heartbroken. In her opinion, these small pickles were not cheaper than meat, because of the sugar in them!

Oh my, it's really a waste!!

At this time, she felt that the beets that Dandan had grown before were still of some use. By boiling them into syrup, she could save money on buying sugar.
