58. Chapter 58 058, Sister Wan's First Pot of Gold 5
"Mom, I have a keen eye for gold. In other people's eyes, they are weeds, but in my eyes, they are good things, so of course they are worth so much money." Lu Ziyuan put the money into He Chunmei's hand, "This
Mrs. Qian is taking care of it to see if we can find some people to repair our yard sometime. Build a high and strong wall and make a strong gate so that we won’t be afraid of those random people coming in and taking away our yard.
I have something and can sleep peacefully at night.”
Repairing the yard has become Lu Ziwan's biggest wish. With the wall and gate, she wonders how her aunt will come in!
He Chunmei's eyes filled with tears as she took the money. Although she never said anything over the years, she still felt very sad.
The family was already very poor, but the uncle's family would come here from time to time to get some oil today and some vegetables tomorrow. As the days went by, she became poorer and poorer. She didn't say it, but she was still sad in her heart. She took the money and thought about repairing the yard.
, she was also very happy.
"The yard needs to be repaired. Tomorrow I will ask your uncle to help find someone to repair the yard for our house."
"Mom, if you have enough money, you can also repair our roof. This summer is almost over. I don't know when it will rain. Our house will leak when it rains. In winter, it will leak and it will be very cold." Lu
Zi Wan looked up at the roof. She was lucky that it hadn't rained since she had been here for so many days. If it had rained, it would have been heavy rain outside and light rain inside.
"Mom, if it's not enough, just wait until I sell the mint leaves in the yard and renovate them together. I just don't know how much it will cost to rebuild the house." Lu Ziyuan thought that if it wasn't expensive, she could wait for her to sell the mint leaves.
After Ye Du sold it, he simply rebuilt the house.
"To demolish this house and re-build the same house, plus repair the yard and build walls, etc., including the wages paid to others, it will cost at least thirty taels of silver." He Chunmei sighed, "Including what you earned at home.
The total of these twenty-eight taels of silver only leaves a little over twenty-eight taels of silver, which is enough to cover our daily expenses for a year."
"Mom, why don't we postpone the repairing of the yard for a few days. After I sell all the mints, I can rebuild the whole yard. Then the open space next to it will be enclosed in the yard. I want to transplant it from the mountain.
Some trees will be planted in the yard." Lu Ziyuan naturally wanted to plant those honeysuckle trees.
He Chunmei seemed to have the same idea, but she hesitated for a moment because of the money issue, "Can those grasses really be that valuable?"
"Mom, you still don't believe it? If they are not valuable, what are these on your hands? Are they pebbles? I estimate that the mint you just pulled out and dried still has ten kilograms of it, and you can earn at least seven
Twelve taels, don’t worry about this money, as long as the weather is good in the next two days, I will dry it and take it to the town to sell.”
"Seventy taels? So much?" He Chunmei was shocked again. She lowered her head and looked at the money in her hand. She always felt that it was so difficult for them to make money, but it was just a matter of pulling out a few straws in Lu Ziyuan's mouth?
"Mom, this is called a business opportunity. Whoever discovers it first will naturally make a lot of money. As time goes by, someone will follow, and by then this mint will become worthless." Even if there is wisdom later.
People can find that the mint leaves are the kind of grass that grows by the river. She is not worried that the people who come here like clouds will accuse her of cheating money. No one in this era is planting this kind of thing, even if everyone comes to pick it later.
Yes, there are only so many mint leaves in the mountains and by the water, and it is impossible to turn them into cheap items even if the price drops.
