I have been looking for it for a long time.
Seeing the sun rising high, the two of them stopped and took a rest.
Song Jingyun never saw the nice-looking grass again, but he successfully found two rabbits and caught them successfully.
A pheasant, two plump rabbits, and a sizable ginseng plant, today is considered a full harvest.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Michia took Song Jingyun out and went to chop some bamboo at the foot of the mountain.
It's almost noon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to cut down enough bamboo as expected, but at least I have to cut down a few so that I can have some bamboo at home to use for making bamboo strips in the afternoon.
If it's not enough, I'll cut it again in the afternoon.
After another busy day, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun happily walked home with half a cart of bamboo, rabbits, pheasants, and ginseng hidden in bamboo baskets.
"Ah, Xiaoxia and Jingyun went hunting?"
It was noon, and many people who were washing and choosing vegetables by the well, carrying farm tools and returning home after doing farm work, admired Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun's fat rabbits hanging on the handlebars of their carts.
"This rabbit is really fat, and the pheasant is also big. The harvest is really big."
"It's okay, I'm pretty lucky, I caught it with a net." Jiang Michia responded with a smile.
"These pheasant feathers look so smooth and long, so I throw them away. My aunt will go to your house to ask for some feathers and make a shuttlecock for the child to play with."
"Okay, let's keep it for Auntie. We can just go back home and get it." Jiang Michia agreed.
When farmers kill chickens and geese, salesmen will come to collect the feathers from chickens and ducks. If they save a lot, they can sell them for a few pennies, so they usually keep them.
They are all neighbors, so asking for a few chicken feathers is not a big deal.
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun walked home.
The women gathered together were still chatting.
"Don't mention it, Xiaoxia and Jingyun are really capable. They went out to chop bamboo and hunt rabbits. With this kind of work, it's no wonder that things are getting better and better at home."
"No, this person is diligent and the family will be rich. Whether the family will live well in the future depends on whether the juniors are diligent or not."
"Xiao Xia and Jing Yun have nothing to say. They are really much better than those people who only know how to cheat and cheat. They have no ability to hunt things, but they insist on saying that others have ruined their luck."
"Sister-in-law, is that Jiang Chunhe you're talking about?"
"Isn't it him? A big old man is so stupid that he can't even catch a rabbit. How embarrassed is he to say that others are in his way? It's a shame that his parents still let him go. If I were his parents, I would be embarrassed. It’s over!”
Disgraceful, indulging Jiang Chunhe, Zhang, "..."
She had just gone to the field to pick a basket of beans and was thinking of washing vegetables in the well, but when she got closer, she heard these unpleasant words.
It’s really infuriating!
Why should these long-tongued women say that his son is incompetent? It was clearly because of Jiang Michia's stupid hooves.
But then again, just now she also saw the rabbit and pheasant hanging on the handlebars of Jiang Michia's car. They were really big.
Jiang Chunhe couldn't hunt anything all the time. He said that the living animals in the mountains became more and more sophisticated in summer, so it was difficult to hunt. But Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun had never hunted before. How could they just go into the mountains and bring back so many?
I'm afraid the person I'm beating is not the prey, but the face of their second wife!
And he was slapped in the face for two days in a row!
Zhang's blood surged and she had headaches.
When Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun returned home, Liu and Jiang Youcheng were preparing for lunch. When their daughter and her son-in-law came back, they were busy unloading bamboo in the yard.
"Dad, Mom, please close the courtyard door first, and let's go into the house and talk about something." Jiang Michia lowered her voice.
"What's going on?"
Although Jiang Youcheng and Mrs. Liu were confused, seeing Jiang Michia's solemn expression, they hurriedly closed the courtyard door and the main room door as she said.
"I went into the mountains with Jing Yun today and dug this." Jiang Michia put down the bamboo basket in his hand and took out the contents.
"This is……"
"Ginseng?"
Jiang Youcheng and Liu's legs almost softened, and then they were so excited that they almost shed tears.
Ginseng, this is a precious and valuable thing!
"Did you dig this up?" Jiang Youcheng's lips trembled.
"Jingyun dug it." Jiang Michia didn't take away the credit from her new son-in-law, but also praised her a few times, "Originally, I said that this grass was so ugly that I didn't want to dig it up, but Jingyun was thinking about digging it up, and ended up digging it." It turned out to be ginseng.”
"Jingyun is very capable and lucky. You should listen more to what Jingyun has to say in the future." After picking up a river mussel with pearls last time, Mrs. Liu felt that Song Jingyun was blessed. Now the more she looks at it, the more she feels like it. so.
Song Jingyun smiled, full of sense of accomplishment.
"Stop talking standing there, quickly wrap up the ginseng with a red cloth. They say this thing is very spiritual, so don't let it escape." Jiang Youcheng explained hurriedly.
"I'll go right away."
Ms. Liu hurriedly went into the back room, found a red cloth and a red string, came out, carefully wrapped the ginseng, then carefully placed it in the box, and finally put it in the big wooden box.
Finally, I was worried and piled a few cotton quilts on top of the wooden box to prevent the ginseng from running away.
After everything was sorted, the family went to prepare for lunch.
Originally, we were going to cook simple noodles in vegetable soup, but now because of the ginseng, the head of the family is happy. The vegetarian noodles have become noodles with diced beans and diced beans, and everyone has added a round poached egg.
In the evening, I simply stewed the gift meat at home into braised pork, pure white steamed buns, and paired it with white rice porridge, and had a good meal.
The next day, Jiang Youcheng, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun went to sell ginseng.
I was afraid that the medical clinic in the town would not know what I was getting, so I made a special trip to the county town early in the morning.
With the experience of selling pearls last time, there was no need for Jiang Michia to remind him this time. Jiang Youcheng visited several medical clinics and medicinal material stores one after another, and finally chose the one with the highest price to sell.
This ginseng was in pretty good condition, but it wasn't very old. The final price was twenty-five taels.
It's a bit more than the pearls sold before.
This time, when Jiang Youcheng came out of the medicine shop with money in his pocket, his legs were not weak and he was much calmer, but he still held his head high and raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go, dad will take you to eat something delicious."
When you get money, of course you have to eat well.
Especially Song Jingyun also likes to eat it.
Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun followed happily.
On the way to find a restaurant, I passed by the Gold and Silver Pavilion where I had sold pearls before.
Previously, the business could not be considered sparse, but the Jinyin Pavilion, which was definitely deserted, was now quite lively with people coming and going. The waiter in the shop greeted and dropped off at the door, his face almost frozen with laughter.
Look at the Treasure House again...
