Yipin Qiao Nongfei

Chapter 99

There was not much work in the field the next afternoon, and many family members went out to visit. Su Wanqiu walked around the foot of the mountain behind, planning to go to Shen's and Fang's houses to clean up the ponds in two days, and then heard Yan calling her in the backyard. .

She knew in her heart what the other party cared about, and it was rare to be able to hold back until now. It wasn't that everyone had work in the field yesterday, and there was really no way to meet alone, so how could they wait for this moment.

So he trotted over, and sure enough, when Yan saw her, she didn't speak, tears came down first, Su Wanqiu said quickly: "Don't worry, uncle, I have redeemed Li Qingyin, and I have redeemed all the people like her in there." Come out, Shen Yuanxi will help..."

After telling the story, Yan's complexion turned pale. After listening to it, she was in a daze for a long time, and she was about to kneel when she bent her knees.

Su Wanqiu saw her eyes straightened, and expected that she would do this trick again. The ancients seemed to like to express their gratitude by kneeling and prostrating, so they quickly helped her up, and said with a smile: "I can't help you much. It was Shen Yuanxi who made the effort, and this follow-up will also fall on him, my uncle would like to thank you, when he comes back to our house, you can cook him some good dishes."

"He is the young master of a rich family, how can he appreciate my craftsmanship."

Yan knew that Su Wanqiu really didn't like to kneel down, so she wiped away her tears, choked with sobs and said: "This time you have been forced to spend money and efforts, and you have encountered such a big risk, third girl, I... don't thank you for your great kindness. Your fate is yours."

Su Wanqiu was funny and angry: "I have nothing to do with your life?" After finishing speaking, he patted Yan Shi's hand, and said seriously: "Auntie, your life is not anyone's, but your own, so treat it kindly, Take care, as long as our family works together, good days are ahead."

Yan Shi nodded with tears in her eyes, and Su Wanqiu said again: "There will be less work in the field in the future, let's find an excuse someday, I will take my uncle to the city to see them, let you and Li Qingyin have a good chat, my side There is also a big mess, and the lotus pond of the Shen family's Fang family needs to be cleaned up..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard Su Wanxia's voice calling her from the courtyard: "Qiu, Qiu, are you home?"

"Hey! It's here."

Su Wanqiu stood up, ran into the main room through the back door, and saw in the yard besides the three sisters of the Su family, there were several young girls who were all from the village and knew her well. When they saw her, they laughed and said, "You really are from the Gu family." , it’s rare to rest for a long time, and you don’t say anything about going out to play with us, now that your three girls can make money, don’t you think us playmates are not in your eyes?”

Su Wanqiu said with a smile: "Then how can it be? Aren't I afraid that my reputation as a tigress will delay the future of all the sisters? What if there is a wishful man who scares you away after hearing that you are playing with me? "

The faces of the girls blushed, and the one named Fang Fang spat: "You are not afraid, what are we afraid of? Do you think you can scare us away by saying this? It's your dream."

After speaking, he came up to hold her hand, and said in a low voice: "The bracelet on Dong'er's wrist is so beautiful, we don't want to have such beautiful jewelry, we just need to have something that can be worn. Do you have any ideas? Bring the sisters to earn some pocket money, we are naturally grateful to you."

Su Wanqiu said with a smile: "I've been thinking about this for a long time. It happens to be near the Dragon Boat Festival. There are many mountains and plants here. As long as you are willing to work hard, why can't you earn some pocket money?"

"It's easy for you to say." Xiaoling sighed: "We also thought about it, but the chard, which is the beet you mentioned, is not ripe at the moment, not to mention that it is now planted in your field. Still have beets to dig?"

"You only know beets and wild vegetables." Su Wanqiu smiled and shook his head: "Don't you know the word spice?"

"Spices?" The girls were all taken aback, Su Wanchun wondered: "Of course we know about spices, they say they are more expensive than gold, but where do we get them?"

After finishing speaking, she heard her friend Shanhua say: "I have a distant cousin who is in the business of spices. He said that spices in the capital are more expensive than gold, and there are still places to buy gold, but after the ban on sea trade, spices are more expensive than gold." The number has dropped sharply, and until now, except for the royal government, the people have the money and no place to buy them."

Su Wanqiu shook his head and said: "Who told you about foreign spices? There are several kinds in the mountains around us. Even if the quantity is not much, after working for two or three days, it is not a problem to earn pocket money."

"Where do you get them? Why don't we know? We only know wild vegetables. According to you, the flowers and plants all over the mountains and plains can make money? There is no such reason."

"It can indeed make money. Now is a good time. The cloves, fennel, and perilla all over the mountains and plains can be used as spices, and more are medicinal materials. I walked around the back mountain today and saw more than a dozen kinds. , you don’t know, right? Mother-in-law and shepherd’s purse are not only used as wild vegetables, but also medicinal materials..."

Everyone was stunned and didn't believe it, they followed Su Wanqiu to the back mountain and listened to her explanation, only then did they realize that the dodder, purslane, plantain, etc. that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road are actually medicinal materials.And the inconspicuous little purple flowers that bloom everywhere are called cloves, which are what people call spices. Even if they are not worth gold, they can be sold for money, right?
"I don't know the business of medicinal materials, but as far as we have picked them, Daxing County will definitely have some. Even if they can't run out, they can make money by reselling them in the capital. Anyway, we don't want too much. Everyone just makes money. Spend flowers, buy some snack fabrics, make clothes, buy velvet flowers, I can guarantee that no matter how much I have, I will be gone, if everything can make money like beets, I will make a fortune long ago.”

The girls heard what Su Wanqiu said, and they all responded and shouted: "It should be, who dares to be so greedy? Today, the big guys are talking about this, and they have the face of saving summer, spring and winter, so let's pester you once. I didn’t hold out any hope at first, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.”

Another person laughed and said, "Really, if I had known that throwing into the river would be a good thing, I would have voted too. I'm afraid that I will grow up well, what if Lord Yan won't let me come back?"

"Bah! I'll call you shameless, Wang Po sells melons and boasts."

The girls played and played, talked and laughed and returned to Su's house, and after talking for a while, they all parted ways.

At this time, Mrs. Yan came out with a plate of melon seeds, and said to Su Wanqiu: "The melon seeds you planted in front of and behind the house in spring all came out, there is no need to replant, I will fry the remaining melon seeds, and give them to you Make snacks. I see that a large group of you just went to the back of the mountain clamoring, what are you doing?"

After Su Wanqiu told the story again, Su Wanchun pouted and said, "It turned out that I couldn't be bothered, and wanted to deal with them, but who knew that the third sister was really honest, and she told them all about this. It's just us sisters, isn't it another small fortune? You are too generous."
