Lin Hu and Du Laosan entered their home. "My wife has a visitor, she's from Sijiu City." "Come in quickly, this is from my house. This is the name of Sijiu City..." "My name is Lin Hu. Thanks to Brother Du San for inviting me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." Done."
"Big brother is here, so don't be polite. My youngest is very hospitable." This woman. It really makes a man look good.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you. All the wild animals here have been cooked." If there is less, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat, because there are so many children in the countryside.
"Mom, is food ready? I'm starving." A girl of 17 or 18 years old, with three children, the youngest must be six or seven years old,
"This is my eldest daughter and my youngest daughter. Those two are my sons." Du Laosan introduced.
"Brother Du San is so lucky! Are his children so old?" "Brother Lin Hu, I got married late. There were no elders in the family, and no one helped me. I didn't get married until I was over thirty. I brought my wife Mi Shan out with me. Then you will marry me and have children for me."
"Luckily for third brother, I have never found wild ginseng in our mountains. Isn't it here?" "Why not? You didn't find a place, southwest. More than forty miles away, there is a place suitable for wild ginseng to grow. Then The things are worthless. No one is looking for them. Since the Japs are here, no one is looking for wild ginseng."
"Why is that?" "Back then, someone in our village collected wild ginseng and went to the city to sell it for money. The Japanese robbed the ginseng. After a few words of retort, two or three were shot to death, and an injured village chief came back. . Since then, no one has picked up that life-threatening thing."
"I would like to take a look. Do people in our village have wild ginseng?" "Yes, most of them have it. I have some at home too. Let me show it to you."
After saying that, he rummaged through the box and took out four ginseng rolled in birch bark. One opened to reveal ginseng. "These are all fourth-grade leaves. If they are sixth-grade leaves, they are century-old ginseng." "Can you transfer this ginseng to me? Now this kind of fifty-year-old ginseng is about a thousand, and sixth-grade leaves are century-old and upwards." Yes, more than four thousand,"
"It's so expensive. I'll transfer all of these to you, so that my children, the eldest daughter and the second son, can all go to school in the town. They've all been delayed and blinded. Because I'm poor and can't afford to go to school. Book. I look anxious." Du Laosan was a little excited.
"I want them all." He took out four thousand yuan from the space and counted the money. Passed it to Du Laosan, "Third brother, can you ask if there are any ginseng sellers in the village? I bought them all at this price."
Lin Hu gave the highest price in the current market. It is impossible for him to take advantage of the villagers. That would be too embarrassing for the time traveler.
"I'm going to ask from house to house now, and every house has some. Those who are younger have stewed chickens. There aren't many pheasants left now. It's not convenient to buy meat, so I go to the mountains to find some meat to eat."
About half an hour later, twenty or thirty people came to the small courtyard one after another. "Brother Lin, this is our village chief. Minister Zhou," "Hello, Village Chief Zhou. I got lost in the mountains and was brought back by Brother Du San. I know there are ginseng in our village. I want to buy some back." I came here this time also for ginseng.”
"Xiao Lin, our ancestors here have known how to pick ginseng for generations. Every family has it. What price did you give?" "The fourth-grade leaves are less than a hundred years old, one thousand. Those with sixth-grade leaves and above are four thousand."
"Village chief, I went to the purchasing station a few days ago. The fourth-grade leaves are 600, and the sixth-grade leaves are 2,000. The price given by Brother Lin is high enough." Du Laosan said. He was so happy and knew the bottom price.
"Everyone knows the price, so don't hide it. Whoever wants to sell ginseng should go home and get it. Xiao Lin. The smallest one here also needs fourth-grade leaves. Those with lower prices are not allowed to be picked. The whole village abides by the ancestral teachings. .Leave some medicinal materials for future generations."
"What the village chief said is great. If you over-harvest ginseng without any restraint, sooner or later there will be no ginseng left. Don't be short-sighted. No matter how big the mountain is, it will eventually dry up." Lin Hu said to the village chief and villagers about future generations. experience of.
People who went home came back one after another, this time there were more people. Lin Hu returned to the house and opened his backpack. Put all the original items inside into the space and take out 250,000 from the space.
A box was brought out from the door. They started to bring all the meals and lined up, and the village chief maintained order. This house has two trees, that house has five trees. A total of 162 leaves of the fourth grade and 11 leaves of the sixth grade were received.
The villagers were all dispersed, and two households worth ten thousand yuan were created. Every household worth one thousand yuan was happy and smiling.
"Village Chief Zhou, are there no high school students in your village?" "There are two. They can't find a job now. They are farming at home."
"You can build your own school. The children must not be uneducated. You can go to the commune. If they can't solve the problem, let them solve the problem of books. Build your own house and let the two high school students teach the children. Every household will be divided according to the number of children. The tuition fee is enough for their salary.”
"This method can be realized. We have enough strength to build this school for our children. Thank you, Xiao Lin. Your method is feasible." The village chief's eyes lit up after hearing this. "I invested 100,000 yuan to stay in the school. This way, the teacher's salary is guaranteed. I come here every year to collect ginseng, deer antlers, and medicinal materials from the mountains." Lin Hu gave the village chief 100,000 yuan.
"Thank you Xiao Lin, I know you are a good person. The villagers here will remember your kindness." The village chief became even more moved.
Lin Hu stayed for three days and collected more than ten trees with sixth-grade leaves and more than thirty trees with fourth-grade leaves, all of which were fresh.
Lin Hu was about to walk out of the village and looked at the road here. The villagers who saw him off all went back, and began to lay stones, large and small, that had been stored in the space on the road. It was as wide as a yellow mud road. Pave one meter of stones and fill the small gaps with big ones. Once released from the space, everything will be compacted and flattened. I walked and paved all the way, and when there was not enough, I went to find places with a lot of rocks, and used the space to bring it back and pave it again. It took three days to walk the five-kilometer mountain road. It has always been connected to the commune's highway.
