Seeing that Chen Xiaobei didn't speak, Jia Wannian smiled slightly and said, "These ten taels are considered as a deposit. If you find it, I will give you another ten taels."
My dear, a century-old ginseng tree is worth twenty taels.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei's stunned eyes, Jia Wannian chuckled.
"Brother Xiaobei, since you also know Miss Liu, I won't hide it from you. This ginseng tree is what the Liu family wants. Their asking price is twenty taels. I won't earn a penny from you."
Chen Xiaobei believes in this.
Jia Wannian is very smart. He is not at the scene for most of the time.
Therefore, Jia Wannian was not sure whether Liu Rumei would tell him about ginseng. This was to inoculate himself in advance.
Having said that, Jia Wannian's business here is a long-term deal, while Liu Rumei's business is a one-time deal.
There is no need to ask what choice you will make. This was also the reason why Jia Wannian dared to confess to himself.
After leaving Huahaotang, Chen Xiaobei rushed to the vegetable market. He had to deliver the food tomorrow and had to talk to Wuzhong about it.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei driving the donkey cart, Wuzhong had a complicated look in his eyes. It couldn't be said to be envy, jealousy or surprise.
"Brother Xiaobei, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are so rich."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and shook his head, "My boss's donkey cart, I'm here to run an errand in the city."
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Chen Xiaobei told Lao Wu that he wanted to use the green leafy vegetables he grew in exchange for vegetables.
Wu Zhong felt happy after hearing this, "Okay, you can bring the food tomorrow, and we'll trade food for food."
After finishing speaking, Wu Zhong continued on this matter, "By the way, Butler Cao also wants a few more pheasants. He has told me several times. You must keep this in mind."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, yes, Lao Wu told him this the last time he came here, but he had been busy with this and that all day long and had forgotten about it.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it and I'll get two more over in the next two days."
After Chen Xiaobei finished all the errands, he went to the grocery store and bought two fishing nets. These were materials he could use to make his own umbrella nets.
Then I went to buy another two kilograms of pork, and then turned around and bought some rice.
Put everything on the donkey cart and turn around to go home.
Today at noon, it was another happy lunch for their family.
While eating lunch, Chen Xiaobei discussed with Cui Hongyu that he had to go into the mountains to squat on pheasants tonight. He suggested that Cui Hongyu take Qiaoer to Dachun's house to wait for him.
But this proposal was rejected by Cui Hongyu, "Husband, now that Chen Ermao is no longer in the village, let's not trouble Dachun and the others anymore."
Thinking about it, Chen Xiaobei has relaxed his vigilance as things have been calm recently.
Chen Xiaobei took a nap. They completed the work in Lidong and asked him to check it for acceptance.
The drains are just right.
The water inlet and outlet were opened, and the river flowed into the depression. Chen Xiaobei nodded with satisfaction. At this speed, it could be filled overnight.
When calculating wages, Chen Xiaobei specially gave Lidong two more sons, telling him that he would have to reinforce the house next, and asked him to help him consider manpower and plans.
Renovating a house is a big project, so Lidong was naturally happy from ear to ear.
Although Chen Xiaobei tried hard to persuade Lidong to stay for dinner, Lidong still insisted on leaving.
They have already paid me more wages, so it would be a bit inappropriate to stay here to eat.
The sun was setting in the west, and after grabbing a few bites of rice early, Chen Xiaobei headed into the mountains with a large racket.
Last time he went specifically to look for traces of pheasants, and he knew the approximate habitat.
But recently, with the availability of medicinal materials and fishing, catching pheasants has been put aside for the time being.
But frankly speaking, catching pheasants is also a good way to get rich. After all, a pheasant can be sold for hundreds of coins, which is much better than selling fish.
Now he was quite familiar with Qingniu Mountain, and he soon found the pheasant's habitat.
Still looking for a tree, Chen Xiaobei moved up and waited patiently.
When it got completely dark, the pheasants did come back, but what surprised him was that there were not as many pheasants as expected. It seems that pheasants have also learned to be smart and no longer gather in large groups, and their habitats have become scattered.
But these don't matter to Chen Xiaobei, he only wants two at most.
As God wished, he caught two of the pheasants in one net, and Chen Xiaobei returned home satisfied with the pheasants.
At this time, two black figures also came out of Chen Yutian's home and quietly ran towards Chen Xiaobei's home.
Two black figures came outside Chen Xiaobei's home and first listened to the noise in the yard.
At this time, Cui Hongyu was already coaxing Chen Qiaoer to sleep. After all, he was young and had been active all day, so he naturally went to bed early at night.
So the whole yard was quiet and there was no movement.
Yang Dazhi made a gesture to his accomplices, climbed up the wall, and entered the yard with a slight jump.
But Cui Hongyu was not asleep. Cui Hongyu heard him as soon as he came in.
After Chen Ermao climbed over the wall two days ago, Cui Hongyu was not panicked or nervous. She stood up quietly.
Chen Xiaobei was very vigilant and would put the kitchen knife under his pillow every night when he went to bed, but this time he was not at home, and Cui Hongyu did not have this habit either.
Fortunately, there is still half a door-bar in the house.
Originally, a door stick placed behind the door could effectively prevent outsiders from intruding.
It's a pity that Chen Xiaobei even lost half of this thing.
With half a wooden stick in hand, Cui Hongyu gained some confidence. She hid behind the door and did not dare to express her anger.
At this time, Yang Dazhi entered the yard and saw that the house was dark and there was no movement. He became bolder and quietly walked toward the door of the room.
Arriving in front of the door, Yang Dazhi listened carefully and there was still no movement in the room.
He reached out his hand and slowly pushed the door open.
Cui Hongyu, who was behind the door, held her breath, staring at the door tightly, and her body even trembled a little because of nervousness.
Yang Dazhi slowly pushed the door open, and after making sure there was no movement in the room, he quietly took a step inside.
Chen Yutian has already drawn a detailed layout of Chen Xiaobei's home for him.
Of course, that was before Cui Hongyu got married.
But no matter what, the bed where Chen Xiaobei sleeps has not changed. He always turns right after entering the door.
Yang Dazhi turned to the right.
Cui Hongyu behind the door could see it clearly.
There was only one person, and he didn't look that tall and strong. Cui Hongyu felt a little more confident.
He raised the wooden stick high and hit the kid on the head.
Although Cui Hongyu is a weak woman, she still bursts out with huge energy when faced with such a critical moment, and the force of this hit is not light.
Yang Dazhi was caught off guard and was hit by this hard blow. His eyes suddenly glowed with gold, his body was unsteady and he sat down on the ground.
Cui Hongyu was not willing to give him a chance to breathe, but he hit him again the second time.
At this time, Yang Dazhi couldn't bear it any longer and was knocked to the ground.
