Chapter 56

"It looks like the rain will last for a few days. Since we can't set up a stall, we're back." Wu Boming said to his parents with a little excitement: "I took a few more businesses, and I took advantage of the rain these days to drive out work at home. And earn a few taels of silver."

Because Mrs. Zeng helped to look after the meat skewer stall, he finished all the work he had taken on and delivered the goods two days ago.

But this time, most of the jobs he took were bamboo strip ornaments, the price was relatively high, and the profit was much higher than that of weaving farm tools and lamps, so he was naturally happy.

Wu Xingbang and Miao were also very happy when they heard this: "Then you should drive out the work well, don't make the guests wait, you don't have to worry about the work in the field."

The Zeng family on the side also said: "Brother, what my parents said is right, business is important, and my sister-in-law and I still have to work in the field."

When Mrs. Zeng was helping to look after the meat skewer stall two days ago, she thought it would be a pleasant surprise to earn hundreds of pennies a day selling meat skewers. How could she know that the bamboo strip ornaments made by the child’s uncle are so valuable, and you can earn a fortune for just one thing? One or two taels of silver!

If the business of this bamboo strip product grows bigger, how much money will it have to earn?
Zeng didn't even dare to think about it.

"By the way, father." After talking about the business matter, Wu Boming took out a heavy money bag from his arms: "Father, this is Chao'er's money for selling ginseng, please keep it."

Wu Xingbang thought that the money bag was filled with copper plates, so he didn't care much, but said lightly: "Didn't Huanhuan say that the money from selling ginseng was kept for Chaoer just in case? Why did you get it all back? "

"Chao'er left a few taels of silver."

Originally, the son refused to take the money from the family even if he died, but later saw that he was angry, so he reluctantly kept a few liang of silver with him.

Hearing this, Wu Xingbang didn't say anything, and casually opened the money bag.

When Wu Xingbang saw that the clearing money bag was not filled with copper plates, but several silver ingots and some broken silver, Wu Xingbang took a breath, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "So much silver?"

"How much?" Seeing her wife's expression, Miao asked nervously.

Not to mention the Miao family, even the Guo family and the Zeng family still don't know how much the ginseng plant was sold for, because Wu Chao was very cautious and specially called his father into the Wanfu before handing over the money to him.

Wu Xingbang handed the money bag to Miao, and Miao dumped the money bag on the table. Guo and Zeng gasped at the same time, and turned to be ecstatic.

Trembling, Mrs. Miao counted the silver on the table.

Mrs. Guo could still hold her breath, but Mrs. Zeng couldn't help asking: "Mother, how much?"

"One...120 five taels." Miao's voice was unsteady, and tears fell uncontrollably.

She is not someone who has never seen silver, but so many years of bad luck have suppressed her so much that she dare not have any thoughts. Seeing so much silver at first sight, she suddenly felt like living a new life.

Wu Boming's feelings were not as deep as his own mother's, but he also felt like a dream: "The ginseng plant sold for 128 taels, and Chao'er kept 3 taels."

It took Guo Shi only a few breaths of effort from the initial surprise to regain his composure, but Zeng Shi was so shocked that he did not recover for a long time.

120 eight taels, how much food can this buy?

Wu Xingbang opened his mouth: "Is ginseng so valuable?"

The granddaughter told them that Chaoer had dug up ginseng and asked Chaoer to sell it in the city, but they didn't see how big the ginseng dug by granddaughter and Ah Tu was, and whether it was in good condition.They reckoned that it should be sold for more than a dozen taels, but they never thought they would sell for 120 taels!
How big is that ginseng plant?
