Chapter 48 This is all silver
When Shen Jingcheng came back, Gu Jin had already finished practicing. Seeing him coming back with a basket, he stepped forward to look at it and said, "It looks pretty solid."

"Hmm." Shen Jingcheng put the basket aside, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, then took her hand and walked into the house together, talking to Liu Da to be in charge of finding short-term workers matter.

The two of them are very busy these days. They do exercises when they wake up together in the morning, read books and practice calligraphy after eating, and check whether there is any need to adjust the plan according to the daily farming progress when they are resting. They also take time to go to the field every day Check the germination of the seeds planted in the ground, and also record the daily work status of the long-term workers at night. This is because they handed over the supervision of the hired workers to Uncle Zhao, otherwise they would be even busier.

This is also the reason why Shen Jingcheng handed over the matter of hiring part-time workers to Liu Da. The two of them were really too busy to take care of those part-time workers.

Liu Da's speed was still very fast, and he brought a dozen or so Xicun guys here in the afternoon before going to work.

Shen Jingcheng wrote down each person's name one by one in the day laborer's booklet, told Liu Da which piece of land these people were going to work on, and asked him to take the farm tools and leave.

A few days later, Gao Dazhuang heard that Shen Jingcheng was looking for a part-time worker, so he came to look for Liu Da again during his lunch break, asking if he could take him with him.

Although this can't allow me to cultivate a few more acres of land, it is also possible to buy some farm tools after earning some money.

But after listening to his words, Liu Da politely refused.

"Da Zhuang, it's not that I don't want to help you. As for the incident you made last year, didn't you go to respond to the head of Li Shen? Besides, there are still many people in our West Village who want to do it. It's not their turn. People from the East Village, let alone you."

Gao Dazhuang was almost told to cry by Liu Da, but Liu Da only said one thing, he didn't have the ability to arrange Gao Dazhuang, and if he really wanted to do it, Gao Dazhuang went to find Shen Jingcheng by himself.

How could Gao Dazhuang have the guts, he knew how powerful Shen Jingcheng was, and he would not dare to feel uncomfortable in front of Shen Jingcheng for things that Liu Da would not dare to do.

In the end, Gao Dazhuang still left with a bitter face. Liu Dajing watched his leaving back quietly, without any fluctuations in his heart.

He has self-knowledge, working for the master's family must make him feel comfortable.Otherwise, people can replace him anytime and anywhere.

What's more, Gao Dazhuang himself didn't want to go to Shen Jingcheng, so why did Liu Da take this risk for him?

Time passed quickly while everyone was busy. During this period, the fruit trees that were bitten by locusts last year and moved their nests in autumn also began to bloom and bear fruit one after another. Even the saponin tree on the west side of the courtyard Yellow and white flowers are also produced.

When he is free, Gu Jin likes to go out of the yard to look at these trees that are blooming and bearing fruit, his eyes are full of sparkling light.

The saponins and saponins thorns on the saponins tree can be used not only for washing clothes, but also as medicine. In autumn, when you pick them, they are all worth of silver.Moreover, this year's fruit trees produced more fruits than last year. Naturally, she and Shen Jingcheng couldn't eat so many fruits, and the rest could also be exchanged for money.

The more Gu Jin looked at it, the more satisfied she became. Looking at the flowers and fruits on these trees, it was as if she saw the trees full of silver, but she also secretly recited Buddha in her heart every day.

I hope this year will be a bumper harvest year, if it is like last year, she and Shen Jingcheng will be miserable.

I don't know if it's because of the Buddha she recited, or because of God's face, until the wheat is ripe, the weather is really not good.

As the wheat is gradually harvested and put into the warehouse, the apricots on the apricot tree also turn yellow and orange, exuding a strong fruity aroma.

When it was ripe, Gu Jin took off one, wiped it and bit it down. The apricot flesh melted in the mouth was sweet, soft and waxy, and a fruity aroma filled his throat instantly.

Gu Jin's eyes lit up when he was eating, and he went home and picked up two plates full of them. After washing, he asked Zhou Quan's family to send one plate to Jiang Zhengshu, and he took the other plate to find Shen Jingcheng who was still practicing calligraphy in the study. .

After entering the study, Gu Jin put the plate on the table, picked up an apricot and broke it open, and handed the pulp to Shen Jingcheng's mouth with a smile.

"This apricot is quite sweet, try it."

Shen Jingcheng stopped writing, opened his mouth to let her put the apricot meat into his mouth, chewed it and nodded in agreement.

"Well, it's quite sweet."

"Really? Tell me, how about we pick the good ones and sell them?" While Gu Jin sent the other half of the pulp to his mouth, he also picked up a whole apricot and stuffed it directly into his mouth. After a while, he spit out an apricot core.

"No, if you like to eat, save it and eat slowly." Shen Jingcheng said while eating.

It was only the first year to eat fruit, and he wanted her to eat enough.

Gu Jin shook his head and said, "The apricots are too ripe to hold, and eating too much will hurt people. Let's pick the good ones and sell them, and the rest will be enough for me to eat."

"Okay, I'll find someone to collect it tomorrow." When she heard that eating too many apricots hurt people, Shen Jingcheng immediately agreed.

Since eating too much hurts people, then sell it early, so that she can't control her hunger.

Gu Jin didn't notice his little thoughts at all, and while tearing off the pulp for him happily, he ate apricots one by one, spitting out the apricot core.

Shen Jingcheng watched the speed at which she ate apricots one by one, fell silent for a moment, immediately changed his mind, put down his pen and dragged her to find a basket to pick apricots together.

I have to sell it quickly, just like Ah Jin's way of eating, but I didn't care about whether eating too much would hurt my body.

Gu Jin didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, but he also followed him.After all, the apricots are indeed perishable when they are ripe, so the sooner they are sold, the better.

Shen Jingcheng's speed and vision were top-notch, and he picked a basket of good-looking apricots in a short while, and walked with her to the Daqing River in the north.

Because there is the salt field of the imperial court in the east, and it is the busy farming season, the salt boats, merchant ships, and grain boats on the Daqing River are constantly shuttling back and forth. He directly picked a passing merchant ship and raised his voice to chat with people.

It was also at this time that Gu Jin discovered that Shen Jingcheng was actually a good negotiator for business. She heard Shen Jingcheng flickering for a while, and the businessman went ashore.

Fortunately, the businessman was very satisfied after seeing the quality of the apricots. Hearing that his family still had several kinds of immature fruit trees, some old grains that needed to be sold, and dozens of acres of wheat that had just been harvested, he immediately followed the two with a smile on his face. People went back to West Village.

In the end, the businessman took all the ripe apricots from Kazuki, and also took away all the old grain, and more than a dozen stones of freshly felled wheat, and verbally reached a perennial business relationship with Shen Jingcheng.

Gu Jin looked at the empty warehouse, and at the few immature apricots left on the apricot tree, feeling a little dazed like falling into the clouds.

She really just wanted to sell some good-looking apricots, she didn't want to sell all of them, but when she thought that this tree of apricots was sold for a tael of silver, she became happy again.

One tael of silver, the price that can only be sold for the harvest of a full acre of field, is simply too profitable, okay?
Gu Jin looked at the few fruit trees with even more eager eyes.

This is all money, and it is still a considerable amount of money.

Thinking of this, Gu Jin immediately collected the apricot pits from the two plates of apricots that morning, took the shovel and went to the fruit forest to start digging.

She doesn't know if these apricot cores can grow into apricot trees, but it's better to try than not to try.

Gu Dajiang came at this time. He looked at Gu Jin who was digging a hole, and at the few small apricots left on the apricot tree. He didn't know whether he should go forward or not.

Gu Jin buried his apricot core and clapped his hands in satisfaction. Just as he was about to go home, he saw Gu Dajiang who was only a few steps away from him, but hesitated.

This is a rare visitor. Except for the year when he first immigrated, he basically had no contact with the Gu family brothers. What is he doing here when he is not harvesting crops in the busy farming season?
