The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Jiang Sanlang responded quickly.

He happily returned home with the copper coins on his back, took out 500 coins and gave them to his little girl, took another 1,500 coins for himself, and gave the rest to his wife.

He took the copper coins to his eldest brother's house, called his two nephews, and gave each of them a hundred cents. He also gave the eldest brother and his second brother five hundred cents each.

Because they came to help when his family built the bamboo shed and drying oven.

I gave my parents another three hundred yuan as a filial piety, and then said with a smile: I sold the golden ear that Yingbao picked up in the woods today, and I got more than four guans.

Si Guanduo? Jiang Dalang was surprised, Is that golden ear made of gold? Why is it so valuable?

Jiang Sanlang smiled and said, It's more valuable than gold.

Then he said to the eldest and second brothers: I have bred another batch, and now they have just sprouted. When they mature, I will give some golden ear roots to the eldest and second brothers, and teach you to raise some too.

Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang nodded happily.

Jiang Erlang was embarrassed to accept the money from his third brother, so he declined: I still owe you three guan, how can I ask for these five hundred dollars.

Jiang Sanlang smiled and said: Second brother, you can use it first. Then you can pay me back when you make money later.

That's good. Jiang Erlang took back the money and sighed in his heart.

After the divorce, he had to raise two children alone. Life was not easy, but he had no regrets. I also made up my mind to make a lot of money in the future so that I and my children can live a good life without making others laugh.

But making money is not easy.

I have been busy with farm work recently, and I have no time to go out to find a living. I can't even get ten cents out of my hands.

If his eldest brother and sister-in-law hadn't allowed his family to come back for dinner every day, he might not have been able to survive even two meals a day.

Alas, if the third brother's golden ears can really be sold at high prices, then I will have hope. I will follow the third brother to grow a little bit, but still worry about not making money?

Thinking of this, Jiang Erlang proposed to see the golden ears cultivated by his third brother.

Jiang Sanlang was naturally happy and took his second brother and his father to his yard.

Today, the yard of Jiang Sanlang's house is extremely cramped. It not only has a chicken shed and a deer shed, but also a bamboo shed and an earthen kiln that is two people high.

A wooden frame is placed in the bamboo shed. The wooden frame has two floors, and ten pieces of dead mulberry wood are placed on each floor.

A dozen holes were drilled into the mulberry trees, filled with rice husk sawdust, and planted with golden ear roots.

At this time, the fungus has emerged, and the stars are golden, which is very gratifying.

If all this grows, how much will it cost? Jiang Dalang exclaimed. I counted and found twenty dead mulberry trees.

If each mulberry tree grows ten golden ears, that's two hundred.

Two hundred golden ears, how much silver will they cost after drying?

Jiang Dalang's heart trembled.

He also came to see the third brother when he was baking golden ears a while ago, but didn't pay much attention.

After all, no one has ever seen this thing before, and they don’t know if it is really valuable.

Now Saburo really sells at a high price and earns more than four guans at a time. How can he not be envious to the point of palpitations?

If only a dozen dried golden ears are sold for so much money, how much money can be made from more than two hundred golden ears?

Hey, I can’t even think about it.

Jiang Dalang turned to his third brother and asked: Sanlang, where did you find the golden ear seedlings? Why don't we go look for them and look at them with you?

He couldn't wait any longer and had to go into the mountains to find Golden Ear immediately.

Jiang Sanlang scratched his head and said, Yingbao found this. I'll go and ask.

So, Yingbao, who came back from the deer, was surrounded by her uncle and uncle, who asked her expectantly where she got the golden ear.

Ying Bao blinked: I found it in the woods over there, but it's gone. How about we go to Beishan and look for it.

She still remembered the boy in ragged clothes saying that the load of firewood was chopped at Shita Mountain in Beishan.

Okay! Let's go to Beishan to look for it. Jiang Dalang slapped his thigh and said excitedly. There are many woods and mulberry trees in Beishan, so maybe you can actually find them.

The next day, Jiang Sanlang carried his daughter on his back and led his eldest brother, second brother and two nephews into the mountain.

Just in case, they all brought bows, arrows, ropes, machetes and backpacks.

There are many fruit trees in Beishan, and it is the early spring in March. Peach blossoms, pear blossoms and apricot blossoms are all blooming in the mountains, which is so beautiful.

This reminded Ying Bao of the fruit seedlings in the cave, and she had to find a way to plant them in Nanshan as soon as possible.

The group of people walked up and down several hills and searched through countless trees. They couldn't find any golden fungus, but unexpectedly found a few snow fungus as big as an egg.

Yingbao was pleasantly surprised and didn't allow her father and the others to move around. She only asked them to cut down the dead mulberry tree and carry it home.

Because it was a dead tree, Jiang Sanlang did not hesitate, and he and his eldest and second brothers started to chop down this dead tree as thick as a bowl.

“I don’t know who owns this land, and no one comes to take care of it.”

Jiang Dalang muttered, looked around, and urged his two younger brothers to leave quickly. But we can't be seen. Let's leave quickly.

He was worried that the owner of the land would find out that his brothers were secretly cutting down other people's trees. If they were caught, it would be terrible, and it would be a fierce battle.

Jiang Erlang stood on the high slope and looked out for a while, then said: It's okay, this land should be taken over and no one will take care of it.

According to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, after the death of the landowner, the land allocated in his name must be returned to the court, and it will be distributed to other young men in the future.

Therefore, the owner of this land either died, or the whole family fled the land, that is, fled the famine.

Jiang Dalang was happy when he heard this, and immediately ordered his two sons: Hurry and look around again to see if there is any snow fungus like this.

It was also the first time for him to see this thing. He heard from his niece and third brother that it was called snow ear and it was also very valuable. It was sold in Mr. Li's family drugstore, so he hurriedly asked his two sons to look for it.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan agreed and went to look for them separately.

Not to mention, I found a mulberry tree with snow fungus nearby.

It's just that the snow fungus on this tree is very small, just larger than a fingernail, but it's more numerous, with several clusters growing.

So Yingbao asked Dad and the others to cut down the entire tree and take it away.

In the evening, several members of the Jiang family carried two sections of dead trees back to the village.

Although the villagers they met were curious about them carrying the whole dead tree back, they didn't ask.

After all, every family has been short of firewood, and it is common to come back from Beishan to cut firewood.

Two dead trees were brought to the yard of Jiang Sanlang's house. The three brothers cut off the head and tail of the tree, leaving only the middle section, leaning against the bamboo shed.

At night, Yingbao secretly sprinkled the cave water on the two dead trees with snow ears, and then sprinkled the golden ears with water before returning to the house to rest.

Looking back the next day, Xue Er was not only not dead, but also actually grown up.

Yingbao is very happy.

Seeing that there are snow fungus strains, she will get some and keep them in the cave.

More than twenty days passed in a flash.

The golden ears in Jiang Sanlang's bamboo shed are finally ready to be harvested.

The snow fungus on the two mulberry trees has also grown up, and is crystal clear. It is more beautiful than the golden ear. However, the snow fungus is a bit loose and not well formed, and it is not as neat as the golden ear.

He and Chun Niang washed their hands and harvested them carefully with the newly bought thin knives.

Then cut off all the roots of the golden ear, carefully place it on the hollow bamboo drawer, expose part of it to the sun, and bake the other part in the kiln.

The white fungus was also cut off, scattered on the bamboo drawer, and pushed into the drying oven together with some golden fungus.

The weather has been exceptionally sunny these days. In just five days, more than a hundred golden ears have been dried out by the sun.

Jiang Sanlang picked up one and looked at it, then compared it with the ones he had baked, and said: The golden ears baked in the stove are still drier, but the color is not as good as those dried in the sun.

Chun Niang feels that drying is better, but it is too time-consuming and tiring.

Because someone has to guard the kiln all night long, add firewood and remove the fire at any time, and keep the temperature of the furnace neither too high nor too low. My husband has been losing weight these past few days.

The gold ear price has been modified. Please point out any unreasonable things and I will correct them.
