A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Chapter 583 Silver grows in the ground

Gu Jinli went to the pharmaceutical workshop and asked Qiu Lang and the others to cut the grass.

This was planned a few days ago. When Qiu Lang and the others saw Gu Jinli coming, they immediately stopped what they were doing. After packing everything, they took the knives they borrowed from every household in the village and ran towards the bamboo forest outside the house.

Gu Jinli pointed to a large area of ​​aphids in the bamboo forest and said: "You all know the aphids. The ones with red leaves are the ones with red leaves. Just cut them like grass. After cutting, tie up the aphids and move them to the pharmacy. Go to the workshop and pick out the grass seeds and weeds."

"Yes." After hearing this, Qiu Lang and the others immediately started cutting the aphids.

Gu Jinli looked at Kan Liu and said, "Uncle Xiao Liu, take Uncle Dai and the others to mow the grass in the yards of the old houses at the end of the village, the ones my family bought."

Doctor Wu knew that she liked to grow aphid grass, so he brought her two hundred kilograms of grass seeds back when he was buying medicinal materials. She replanted them in the open spaces of all the old houses she bought, and now they can harvest them.

Then he said to Aunt Hong: "Aunt Hong, take Qingping, Qingrong and the others with you and follow Uncle Liu to help tie up the cut aphid grass and move it back. Hurry, it will be over in three hours. It’s dark, so you have to dare to cut all the aphids before dark.”

Qingping and Qingrong were among the twenty-three girls brought by Grandma Tao. They used to be maids. Half of the older ones were from the Qing generation and the younger ones were from the Bai generation.

Green, red, white, green and blue are the characters used to name these girls.

When Kan Liu heard this, he staggered and almost fell. He turned to look at Gu Jinli, with a bitter look on his bearded face.

Gu Jinli winked at him and made a cheering gesture.

Aunt Hong understood what Gu Jinli meant and didn't say anything. She just followed the instructions and took Qingrong and the others to help.

Nearly a hundred people harvested the aphid grass together, and it was finished in less than two hours. Kan Liu took Qiu Lang and the others to help several other families mow the grass.

Village chief He brought people from He Laoguo, He Laotian, He Dasu and He Wazi's family to see how to cut the aphids. Uncle Dai took Gu Jinli's words and taught them: "The aphids are red and easy to distinguish. When you're done, just take out the non-red grass leaves and throw them away."

He also explained: "Don't mix weeds, otherwise the medicinal effect will be lost."

"Hey, don't worry, Doctor Dai. We are all good at farm work. We work carefully and won't let weeds in the aphids." Village Chief He said, dragging Doctor Dai again, quietly Asked: "Dr. Dai, how much does a pound of aphid cost at the drug store?"

Doctor Dai smiled. The old village chief was so arrogant that he secretly asked him the price, but the little boss had already expected it and said that if anyone asked, he would just tell the truth and there was no need to hide it.

"The dried high-quality aphids cost six cents at the drugstore, and the selling price is ten cents per catty."

Village Chief He clicked his tongue. The drug store was really good at making money. When it changed hands, it sold for an extra four cents. However, he was still very happy after learning that the aphid grass could really be sold for six cents a pound.

He had calculated that although his family only planted twenty kilograms of grass seeds, the aphid grass would grow, and it would grow even more wildly than the weeds, and it would grow in a dense area. After harvesting and drying, there will be at least about three hundred kilograms. Six cents per catty is one to two to eight hundred cents.

Village Chief He exclaimed: "Hey, there are two taels of silver growing in the open space. This grass is really valuable!"

Doctor Dai was startled by his shout. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Does the village chief have any questions? If not, I will go and work first. I will teach you when you are mowing the grass tomorrow." How do you clean up the aphids and dry them?"

"Hey, Doctor Dai, go and do your work. I'll ask Tong Sheng to pick you up tomorrow." Village Chief He was so happy that he dragged his crutch and followed the third grandfather, looking left and right, looking at the bright aphids. Cao seemed to be looking at a bunch of copper coins, getting more and more excited as he looked at them. It was not until the sky turned dark and He Tongsheng came running to call him to go home for dinner that he took He Laoguo and the others away.

Before dawn the next day, Village Chief He and his family got up. People in the village knew that they were going to cut aphids, and they all came to watch the fun.

Yesterday when Qin Gu Luotian's family was cutting aphids, they wanted to see it. Unfortunately, Wang Yongfu, Lao Zhu and his son, and He Sanlei were guarding the end of the village. They couldn't get in, so they could only endure their gripping curiosity and wait until Come see it today.

The result is that the more I look at it, the more confused I become.

"Village chief, is this how the aphids are cut? Isn't it just like cutting weeds? I thought the aphids that could be sold would be so finely cut."

Someone asked: "Village chief, can this red grass really be sold for money?"

Before Village Chief He could say anything, He Laosi's daughter-in-law said in a low voice: "Oh, how much can we sell it for? You go to the mountains to cut a load of weeds and sell them in the town. Only a fool would pay for them." Village Chief , you old man was deceived by the Gu family, after drying the grass in your house, you must have stuffed it into the stove to light the fire."

Village Chief He was very happy when he was poured cold water on by the fourth daughter-in-law He. He was very angry and did not tolerate the fourth daughter-in-law He. He directly said to He Dacang next to him: "The fourth daughter-in-law made a mistake and asked your daughter-in-law Find two women and take her to the ancestral hall where she will kneel for five hours to teach her a lesson."

He Lao's fourth daughter-in-law was confused, and then she remembered that in the past year, Village Chief He had become more and more tough. He would punish anyone who dared to cause trouble according to the ancestral family law. I forgot about my fault, so I hurriedly ran away.

Village Chief He said: "You run away. If you can run away, can you never return to the village today? You can't escape this punishment. Kneel down earlier and it will be over."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, He Lao's fourth daughter-in-law immediately pretended to cry and begged for mercy, but village chief He didn't agree with her and asked He Dacang's daughter-in-law and two older women to take her to the ancestral hall and kneel there.

With the news about He Lao's fourth daughter-in-law being taken to kneel in the ancestral hall, all the other women who wanted to make sarcastic remarks shut up. After watching the excitement for a long time, they felt bored and panicked and went home.

But within five days, everyone in the village was shocked when they thought Village Chief He and the others were being tricked. Just because the Gu family spent money to buy aphid grass from the five families of Village Chief He and He Laoguo, which cost six cents per pound.

"Village Chief He's family sold a total of three hundred and forty kilograms of aphid grass, and received twenty taels and forty cents. This useless vacant land really grew two taels of silver."

"He Shengzi's family sold more. They sold 400 catties and got 20,000 to 400 wen. His father was very happy."

"Hey, this aphid grass is really profitable. What are we waiting for? Let's go to Gu's house and ask for grass seeds." He Daqiao's wife was so excited that her eyes were red. After speaking, she slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me. I'm confused, the Gu family doesn't allow us to go to the end of the village casually, we have to go to the village chief to be the guarantor first."

Then he ran away in a hurry, not even asking for half of the water.

"Daughter-in-law Daqiao, please wait, we are going too." Other women in the village hurriedly followed, and told their children: "Hurry back and ask your father to go to the village chief's house. There is money growing in this land, so we must plant it quickly. !”
