The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy
Chapter 40 The hen that lays golden eggs
On the other side.
Shangdong Village is more than 20 miles away from Yuxi Village.
Zhang Shiming rushed into the house panting and went straight to the main hall, "Dad, Mom! I heard some incredible news!"
At noon, when the farmers had finished their breakfast and were hiding from the sun at home.
Old man Zhang and his wife took a rest in the main room.
Seeing her youngest son running back with sweat all over his forehead, Mrs. Zhang, who was lying on the bench, sat up and casually took the towel beside her and handed it to him, "Wipe the sweat off. What's the matter that made you run so fast?"
Zhang Shiming had no time to wipe the sweat off his face. He wiped his face with his sleeves. "Mom! Do you know how popular the herb is in town recently? At Sifang Pharmacy, one tael of prepared herb is sold for twenty coins! One jin is two hundred coins! That's grown by my sister! You didn't go to town to see that the entrance of the herb shop was crowded with people waiting to grab the herbs early in the morning. The demand can't keep up with the supply! I even asked around and found out that it's grown by my sister! One mu of herb is worth more than four taels of real money!"
"You said Duo Shao? Say it again?" Not only Mrs. Zhang exclaimed, but Old Man Zhang, who was lying on the other side with his eyes closed to rest, could no longer lie there and sat up abruptly.
"One mu of medicinal herbs can be sold in one month!" Zhang Shiming swallowed his saliva and showed four fingers, his eyes full of greed, "Four taels go up, really! Moreover, this Hundred Xiang grass is only planted in my sister's family, the only one!"
Upon hearing this, the old couple of the Zhang family began to breathe rapidly.
Farmers work very hard and can only earn more than ten taels of silver a year at most. If they can have four or five taels of silver left after spending on food, they would be envied.
But the Lin family can earn more than 400 taels per acre of land in just one month, and this is when the Lin family does not have much land! If they plant a few more acres of land -
The most important thing is that this is the only one of its kind! What does that mean? It means you can ask for a high price!
I have something that others don't have! No matter what price I offer, no matter how high it is, if you want it, you have to pay for it!
If it was the Zhang family who planted the herb, how good would their lives be? Even their ancestral graves would be filled with smoke!
Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red.
"Well! That bitch Zhang Cui'e! When she got the reward for catching bandits, she didn't even think about helping her parents. She would rather distribute the money to the whole village and didn't give a penny to our family! Now that she has found a way to make money by growing Hundred-Angle Grass, she didn't even tell her parents! What an ungrateful person!"
Thinking that all the money went into the Lin family's pockets, while her family got nothing, Mrs. Zhang slapped her thigh and yelled in the direction of Yuxi Village, "I carried her for ten months and worked hard to raise her, but she has grown up to be a wolf and a grudge. If I had known this would happen, I might as well have drowned her in a dung bucket!"
"No, we can't let the Lin family get away with it like this! Father, let's go to Yuxi Village! No matter what, my Zhang family is still related to the Lin family. My daughter married into the family and worked like a slave for them. She also gave birth to two grandchildren to carry on the family tradition. There's no reason why my family shouldn't get any benefits at all!"
Old man Zhang stood up in his slippers, took off the straw hat hanging on the wall and put it on his head, "Let's go!"
Zhang Shiming was so excited that his eyes turned red. His eyeballs rolled around twice. He continued to talk while following his parents, "Dad, Mom, we failed to get the money last time. This time, we can't back down so easily. We don't have to go for the money. Aren't they growing angelica? Ask them for seeds and seedlings! When we come back, we will grow them ourselves! This is the goose that can lay golden eggs!"
"Hmph, are you the only one with a smart brain?" Old man Zhang glanced at the youngest. Is he stupid?
You don't want the chicken that lays golden eggs, but run all the way here just to get five or ten taels?
Moreover, they did not ask for money directly, just some medicinal seedlings. It would be unreasonable for the Lin family not to give them!
The family of three stormed out of the house, and only after they had gone far away did they hear some noise coming from the east wing.
Zhang family's eldest daughter-in-law Jiang Shuiyue had been watching from the window. She saw the three of them heading to Yuxi Village with her own eyes. She pouted and said, "Your father and mother went to the Lin family again. Tsk, your brother opens his mouth and the two elders act as pawns. The last time he came back, he was in pain for half a month. He still hasn't learned his lesson."
Zhang Shicong, the eldest of the Zhang family, was dozing on the bed. Hearing this, he didn't even raise his eyelids. "If they want to go, let them go. Why do you care so much? After all, we will definitely get a share of the benefits. If we don't get any benefits, the losses won't fall on us either."
"That's true." Jiang Shuiyue snorted with a smile, and pushed the man again, "Did you hear what your brother just yelled? I didn't expect the Lin family to be so lucky. They get rewards and sell herbs. They are really going to be rich. One acre of herbs can make more than four taels! My God!"
"If my parents work hard this time, we can live a good life by earning more than 100 grams per mu of land."
"Who doesn't know? I'm just afraid they won't live up to expectations."
……
The Lin family is in a completely different situation at this moment.
The whole family sat together in the main room, looking at the old doctor with a depressed face and acting pitiful, and they were speechless.
It has changed.
The old doctor has changed.
They almost don't recognize you anymore, how can you change your face?
"I never thought that the son of a prominent Chamber of Commerce family would do such a shameless thing. If he hadn't robbed my basket of herbs, I wouldn't have come to his house so soon." Doctor Fang repeated his grievances a hundred times, "There's not enough to sell, really not enough! If I hadn't insisted on only selling half a pound a day, there would have been nothing left."
Lin Jiang was helpless. "Mr. Fang, it's not that we don't want to sell herbs. It's just that the herbaceous grass in the field hasn't grown well yet. The new crop has only grown halfway up—"
"Don't you still have an acre of land left? Pick some for me first. I don't want it all. Pick 60 or 80 kilograms for me and leave the rest in the land. It won't affect your observation plan, right?"
Lin family, "..."
I'm afraid you had already made up your mind before you came and were eyeing my other acre of land?
Seeing the hesitation of the Lin family and knowing their temperament well, the old doctor spoke earnestly, "It's not that I'm greedy. I've been running a pharmacy in this town for so many years, and most of the customers who come here are poor people. It's not easy to find a kind of medicinal material that is not expensive and can bring them many benefits. It is effective for various minor illnesses and pains. How can they not rush to buy it? Baixiangcao is a medicinal material that truly benefits the people. It's a pity that there are too few of them."
"..."
There is no way.
The whole family is soft-hearted.
In particular, if they have sick people at home, they can empathize most with people in the same situation.
What I fear most is that my loved ones suffer from illness and I am powerless to do anything about it.
The family took the old doctor to the medicine place again.
There are two acres of land, and one acre was harvested just over half a month ago. The newly grown medicinal seedlings are only one finger high, and the color is much lighter than the rich green of the field next door.
While the Lin family was picking herbs, the old doctor was not idle either. He gently picked a leaf of the herb and put it in his mouth to chew. The unique aroma of the medicinal juice instantly exploded in his mouth.
My head, which had been dizzy from the midday sun, suddenly became clear, the heat in my body dropped suddenly, and I felt indescribably refreshed.
The old doctor's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he could only repeat one word over and over again, "Good, good, good!"
The medicinal properties of one and a half month old angelica are obviously stronger than those of one month old angelica!
It’s no wonder that he waited anxiously for more than half a month before coming!
