The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy
Chapter 29: Mrs. Li tries her best to find out the gossip
The golden crow falls in the west.
The sky is covered with purple and golden clouds.
In the small village at the foot of Shennv Mountain, smoke rises from the farmhouses, and ducks quack as they come ashore in the Yu Shui River that runs through the village.
Two adults and one child walked home in the evening glow, chatting and laughing, and greeting the villagers they met along the way.
Mrs. Li was in the yard watching the three members of the Lin family passing by the door. Soon, laughter was heard from the yard next door. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she went back to the kitchen, got a bowl of rice, and hurried out.
While eating dinner, Li Fugui looked at his mother's posture and his mouth twitched, "Mom, where are you going now?"
"Don't worry about it, eat your meal! I'm going to chat!" After leaving the house, Mrs. Li turned and walked to the middle of the path not far from her home. She called out to the Wang family on the left and to the Zhang family on the right. Immediately, women from the two courtyards popped their heads out in response.
Three women gathered together, each with a bowl of rice in their hands, and sat at the door to chat.
"Dashan and Xiaojiang are back! As soon as they entered the house, the whole family's laughter could not be stopped by the wall, it was so lively! They must have found a way to sell herbs this morning!" Mrs. Li was so excited, as if she had made money selling herbs herself.
Aunt Zhang asked, "Did you go to their house to ask if they really found a way to sell herbs? If so, then the Lin family has finally survived."
"Yes. When their family gave two acres of dry land to Lin Jiang to make medicinal herbs, who in the village didn't have grumbles? Rural people rely on the land to make a living, how precious is the land? They only have five acres of land in total, and the youngest son asked for it, and they were willing to give up two acres of land. Which family in the village would dare to do this?" Wang Quan's wife sighed and took a mouthful of rice. "No one is optimistic about it behind their backs, but this is someone else's family affair, and we dare not say anything. My Wang Quan also discussed with me privately that when the grain is harvested in the fields, we will send a bag to the Lin family."
"The land must be used to grow crops to ensure a family's food supply for the year. If you use it to grow herbs that no one knows about, if it fails to sell, not only will all the hard work of the year be wasted, but the whole family will have to suffer." Mrs. Li looked in the direction of the Lin family and couldn't help but admire them. "If they really make money, it's what the Lin family deserves. We don't have the courage to risk it all."
"Let's not talk about whether we have such courage or not. Just look at how much Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin love their children. There are not many families in the village who can match them. Otherwise, how can the family be so harmonious?"
"Hahaha, that's true. No matter when the family was doing well or when it fell into poverty, they have always been a harmonious family, and brothers and sisters-in-law rarely quarreled."
The three women all lived at the end of the village. Even though they were a little far away, they could still hear bursts of laughter coming from the direction of the Lin family, which made the gossip fire in their hearts burn more and more fiercely.
Mrs. Li finished the rice in her bowl in a few mouthfuls, stood up and patted her butt, "No, I can't help it. I have to go over and check later. You are laughing so happily! I'll tell you later. Now I'm leaving!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.
The two women squatting at the back were so angry that they laughed, "What an impatient person."
The Lin family is bustling with activity.
The food at home has been prepared, and we are just waiting for the people who have gone to town to come back and then we can set up a table in the yard and start eating.
But when people really came back, no one cared about dinner...
Bai Xiang struggled to get off the backpack as soon as he entered the house, yelling, "Dumplings, dumpling, dumpling! Grandma! Mom! Brother...there are dumplings!"
Lin Dashan and Lin Jiang smiled to their relatives who came over and said, "It works! We've found the trick!"
Steamed buns and door tricks...the Lin family no longer has time to think about dinner.
The two boys in the Lin family were immediately attracted to the meat buns and became their little sister's followers.
Lin Erhe pushed his eldest brother and third brother to the main hall, and couldn't wait, "Come on, tell me what's going on!"
Mrs. Lin and her two daughters-in-law looked at each other with difficulty, unable to conceal their joy, and followed them into the house.
After sitting down in the main hall, Lin Jiangxian handed all the remaining copper coins to his mother, "The old doctor has taken all the Hundred Herbs I carried away!"
Then his eyes wandered and he smiled awkwardly, "I bought ten big meat buns, and the rest are all here."
Following his words, Xiao Baixiang immediately delivered big meat buns to everyone.
The buns have soft skin and exude the unique aroma of meat buns. Each one is as big as a man's fist, and there are exactly ten of them.
Thirty cents.
It's just to satisfy your craving for food.
"..." Mrs. Lin weighed the heavy copper coins, her eyes full of smiles, but she wanted to scold, "You dare to eat like this just because you earn a few copper coins?"
Lin Erhe responded casually, "Mom, you can't blame my eldest brother and third brother for this, they inherited the family tradition. As long as our family has enough money, we never skimp on food, but we learned it from you."
The other sons and daughters-in-law immediately lowered their heads and laughed.
The little kid didn't know how to pretend. He grinned with his greasy mouth and said, "I learned this from grandma!"
Mrs. Lin: "..."
Dumbfounding.
She was indeed willing to give the children food and drink, as long as money was not tight.
The old women in the village often said that she spoiled her child too much.
"Mom, since we've already bought the buns, let's eat them. I'll give the remaining one to Dad later!" Lin Erhe was really anxious. His eldest brother and third brother had left for town in the morning, and he had been at home all day, as restless as a dog looking for grass. "Let's listen to the business first. We're all anxious!"
Lin Jiang had been holding back a lot of words for a long time, and now he finally found a chance to speak out, his eyes bright, "Mom, the old doctor gave me 20 copper coins per pound for the herbs I brought back this time, and that's the initial price. He said he would give him seven days to verify the medicinal properties, and as long as they are confirmed to be safe, the price will be reset after seven days! I have confidence in our Hundred Herbs! This deal will definitely go through!"
Lin Erhe almost dropped the meat bun that was only a bite left in his hand, staring, "Twenty copper coins for a pound? Oh my god, my brother and I only make twenty copper coins a day working part-time in town!"
One pound of their herb is equivalent to what he earns from working hard for a whole day?
Is this the initial price?
Lin Dashan smiled, his white teeth dazzling. "My second brother and I originally estimated that we could sell one kilogram of herbs for five or six copper coins, so we wouldn't lose money by planting this herb field. The herb grows fast and is easy to take care of. It can be harvested once a month. Two acres of herb can produce at least two hundred kilograms, which is one tael of silver if converted into copper coins. Excluding the few months of idleness in winter, we can still earn seven or eight taels of silver a year, which is not a small amount."
What they didn’t expect was that the old doctor could offer such a high price, twenty copper coins, which was far beyond their expectations!
Lin Dashan concealed his and his third brother's reactions when they heard the price. Well, it was a bit embarrassing.
Zhang Cui'e had a dull expression, and she murmured like she was dreaming, "Given the price of twenty coppers, two mu of land would bring in four taels of silver a month! Maybe it could be increased even more! When our family was doing well before, we couldn't even imagine earning this much a month..."
Sent.
The Lin family is going to get rich!
