Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 59 New Discoveries

Mrs. Sun glared at her with some dissatisfaction: "Second daughter-in-law, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak!"

The old man doesn't like it the most if he says these unfavorable words before he even starts.

Mrs. Qin also knew that she had said something wrong, so she lowered her head and did not dare to say anything. Lu Laoer hurriedly spoke to his wife: "Mom, Tao'er is also worried about me."

Naturally, Ms. Sun knew this, and she glanced at the couple without saying anything. Ms. Yu said, "Mother, the third brother and sister are ugly and truthful. We are inexperienced, so we should be careful."

Mrs. Sun subconsciously looked at He Jiuniang, and before she could ask, He Jiuniang took the initiative and said: "The stone is too expensive for us to buy, and it is really dangerous to let people go to the mountains to quarry stone. This is mainly because we lack an experienced person here." If there is a quarry master, we can find whatever we need. It would be safer to spend money to find a quarry master to lead everyone to quarry."

When she didn't speak, He Jiuniang made a calculation in her mind. They wanted a lot of stones. Even if they paid themselves to find someone to quarry the stones, it would be more cost-effective than buying them directly. If you have money, you are a bastard.

Before anyone else could speak, Mrs. Sun made the final decision: "Just do what the third daughter-in-law said. Second son, go to the city and find a quarry master and tell him that the wages we give you are ten cents more than the quarry."

If this were the case in the past, Ms. Sun would be so distressed that she would lose her hair after spending so much money, but recently she has become accustomed to He Jiuniang's resentful behavior, so she feels that it is not too much to pay an extra ten cents for a master.

Lu Laoer agreed and went to the place where the horses were tied to get the horses, but found that both horses were not there.

He Jiuniang then remembered and said, "My father and a group of children took him out and let him go. I'll go look for him."

"No, I'll just go and do it!"

Lu Laoer was about to leave, but when he remembered that he still had "injuries" on his body, he deliberately slowed down his movements.

Seeing his rashness, Mrs. Sun stopped him angrily: "Wait, I'll get you some money."

The people in the second room of the big house are not as clever as He Jiuniang in making money. They don’t have much money on them. Only the 20 taels of silver that He Jiuniang gave them before are properly stored by themselves and will not be taken easily with them. Moreover, this money should indeed be paid by the public. Creampie, Sun will not be stingy at this time.

Lu Laoer responded and stood outside the hay shed waiting for Mrs. Sun.

Lu Laoer went to the county town, and the other men had nothing to do. Just when they were thinking that they might not be able to do anything today and had to go home, He Jiuniang asked them to go to the mountain to cut wood with another group of people. Everyone suddenly became happy and went to the mountain. Went up.

It just so happened that He Jiuniang and the others were going up the mountain, and it would be safer to follow a group of men, so they led the Qin family and others up the mountain not far behind the men.

Mrs. Sun and Mr. Lu were responsible for taking care of the children at home, while Mrs. Yu started preparing lunch.

There is no drought here, the mountains are lush and green everywhere, and there are many small streams. Qin and others feel happy when they see such a scene, and start digging wild vegetables around the streams.

However, He Jiuniang was not here to dig wild vegetables. She told Mrs. Qin and prepared to leave.

"Third brother and sister, don't go too deep. There are wild beasts in the mountains."

Mrs. Qin didn't care what she was going to do. Anyway, she felt that the third brother and sister were now very powerful. Almost all the money in the family was earned by the third brother and sister. Even if she lay in bed all day and didn't go out, they wouldn't have any objections. They were just worried about her. It is dangerous for people to go to the mountains.

"Now that I know the second sister-in-law, I'll go take a look. You don't have to worry about me." He Jiuniang waved her hand and left with a small backpack on her back.

Looking at her back, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "The third sister-in-law is really amazing. Our journey is really thanks to the third sister-in-law! Otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"Yes, I originally thought that our family would be beggars in Qianzhou City, but I never thought that we could come to Jingzhou and live such a life!"

Lu Guilan couldn't help but smile. They were all honest people and would remember their gratitude. Just because He Jiuniang found their family, saved their lives, came to Jingzhou and sent their children to study, they would have no complaints. I will repay He Jiuniang for the rest of her life.

They were chatting while digging wild vegetables, but He Jiuniang had quickly entered the mountains. This was not a place where men cut trees. The towering trees were so thick and strong that people could not see the sky at all. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight filtered down, and it was quiet. A few birds chirping occasionally came from the forest, everything was quiet and beautiful, just like entering a fairy tale.

He Jiuniang took a deep breath and had to say that the air in the forest was really good.

In such a forest, except for hunters who make a living by hunting all year round, ordinary people generally dare not come because they are worried about encountering ferocious beasts.

The hunter's goal is prey, and naturally he has no interest in other good things, such as medicinal materials.

I have been to a drug store before and I know that the medicinal materials of this era are very expensive. This is mainly because the medicinal materials of this era are collected by people in the mountains. There is no artificial breeding. The cost is high and the quantity is scarce, so the price is naturally high.

He Jiuniang has thought about leading everyone to start making money from medicinal materials, but now she can't say anything about her medical skills. She found too many medicinal materials and couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only simply find one or two and bring them to the county to try the water. .

Haste makes waste, He Jiuniang knows this truth very well.

There are a lot of good things. I found some licorice and astragalus, both of which are relatively common good things. I took out a small hoe from the space and dug around, filling a small half basket.

She stopped digging for the rest, but planned to look around and discover some good stuff.

Suddenly seeing a large green thing, He Jiuniang's eyes widened for a moment, for fear that she had seen it wrong.

Somewhat excited, he walked over to check, holding the leaves for a while to identify them carefully, and then took out a small hoe to dig around. Looking at the few yellow balls exposed, He Jiuniang almost wanted to scream.

It’s actually a potato!
Potatoes are an exotic variety. They used to be called potatoes because they were brought here by merchants.

He Jiuniang combined her original identity and her investigation during this period to know that there was no such thing as potatoes in this era, so even if there were many available in the space at any time, she did not dare to take them out rashly for fear of arousing any suspicion.

I just didn't expect to find it here. Could it be that there were businessmen here before?Or some other outsider?

This is not what He Jiuniang wants to worry about. The point is that she only needs to know that now that Tudou has a provenance, he can do a lot of things.

It was precisely because of this incident that she was inspired. With this deep mountain, she could use this mountain as a reason to take anything she wanted. Anyway, no one would pay attention to what was wrong with this mountain.
Without saying a word, she dug another pile and filled the baskets. Then she went to find Qin and others with satisfaction.
