Spring scenery in the fields

Ji Wenhe pointed to the land in the east and said, "Well, I'm worried about the foot of the mountain in the west. The other side is a wasteland, and this side is for walking."

"Okay, I'll go to the mountain and chop some more branches. You can find a shady place to rest for a while."

He looked up at the two people in the field.

"Yuanshan, Wenshan, you should also go to the shade and rest."

They replied in unison: "Got it, big brother."

Ji Wenhe walked to the foot of the mountain and felt distressed when he saw his newly bought shoes were stained with mud.

I found a random stone to sit on, and the breeze was so comfortable that I could squint my eyes.

The two twins followed and sat down not far away.

Shen Yuanshan said, "Sister-in-law, I just told my elder brother that I will go with you to the market."

"Okay, Wenshan, stay at home and look after the chicks. We can't be home without someone."

The silver was hidden under the bed.

By the way, I almost forgot one thing.

Ji Wenhe looked at him and said, "The fence can be fixed today. Let your eldest brother go find them in the evening. There will be too many people during the day, so we have to do it secretly."

"That's what my sister-in-law thinks. Although they were wrong, some people's mouths are spreading rumors. I'm afraid that the beating in the daytime will be a big deal among the villagers, and because of this incident, it will affect your future marriage."

"People will spread the rumor that you have a brother who likes to beat people up, and girls won't want to see you. Many people don't care about the truth of the matter, they only believe what they hear from others."

"You've all experienced this. The rumor in the village turned into that your eldest brother died on the battlefield. No matter what you said, they didn't believe it."

The two brothers nodded.

"Sister-in-law, we understand that you have your reasons and it's for our own good. We will listen to you in everything."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "You don't have to listen to me on everything. If you have different opinions, just raise them directly."

"A man should have his own opinions. When you get married in the future, you will be able to take better care of your wife and children."

The two people opposite, one lowered his head embarrassedly, and the other scratched his head.

"It's too early to get married." Shen Wenshan replied, "There's no rush now. Let's wait until our family is better off in two years."

At this point, Ji Wenhe calculated and found that he now had less than six taels of silver in his hand.

He caught a glimpse of Shen Rongshan coming down holding a branch and waved to him.

When he came closer, he said, "Brother Shen, can we buy some coarse salt and sell it in the village?"

"Or do you know someone who can tell you which shop will sell it cheaper if you buy more? It's definitely not okay to buy it at the market price."

They sell it in the village and the price has to be lower than in the town.

Shen Rongshan sat down not far from her: "The lowest price of salt in town is 40 to 50 coins per pound, fine salt is several hundred coins per pound, and private salt is cheaper, 20 coins can buy a pound and a half."

"Brother, buying and selling salt illegally is a serious crime." Shen Yuanshan looked at him, "I would rather be poor and suffer than watch you commit a crime."

Shen Wenshan agreed: "Yes, brother, we don't buy or sell private salt."

Those who buy and sell salt illegally will be beheaded if caught.

"I'm just talking. I won't buy or sell contraband salt."

He still has family around. If he were alone...

"Master must know someone. He used to send the game he hunted to a restaurant. The salt used by the restaurant was provided by a fixed shop."

Shen Rongshan was not sure either, so he had to ask to find out.

"If we can get an introduction from someone we know, the price will be two to three cents cheaper than the market price, and we can make money if we buy it back."

Ji Wenhe held his chin, looked at the ground, and continued.

"Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, flour, and cloth are all necessities for the people. Why don't we sell two of them first?"

"Salt and brown noodles. I think brown noodles should be the best seller, but the premise is that we have to buy them at a low price. Brother Shen, why don't you go and ask now?"

Shen Rongshan turned his head and looked at the fence that had not yet been completed: "Why don't you wait until I finish it?"

She said she would finish putting up the fence today.

"If we can't finish it today, we can do it tomorrow. Brother Shen, you go now."

If I can really find someone I know, I can go to the market and buy it back in a couple of days.

The twins took over.

"Brother, you go ahead. We are here. There is only a little left. We will definitely finish it today."

Ji Wenhe looked at him eagerly.

Shen Rongshan stood up and patted the dirt off his body: "Okay, I'll go ask Master, but don't hold your hopes too high."

She smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

After he left, the three of them went to the fields and started working.

Zhaojiacun.

After the vegetable fields are planted and the rice seeds are grown, you can rest for a while.

A few people gathered in twos and threes to chat.

Shen Rongshan went straight to the end of Zhaojia Village.

Zhu Danian was not at home, and neither were the two black dogs.

Did he go into the mountains?
