"Well, I met them. One has four leaves and one has five leaves. The five-leaf tree I met later is okay, but it weighs more than three ounces."
Xu Shiyan went to the mountain for more than ten days, far longer than the expected seven days. Who would believe him if he said he found nothing?
But he couldn't tell the truth, because Xu Shiyan had no intention of selling those large ginseng trees.
It's so rare. I don't know how much of a sensation it will cause when it is taken out, not to mention the county, I'm afraid it will also alarm the province.
Xu Shiyan just wants to live a peaceful life, but he doesn't want to be in the limelight. If it makes a big fuss, he may not be able to calm down in the future.
What's more, Xu Shiyan has long seen through the brothers. Even though they usually talk smoothly and are pretty, when something really happens, they all have their own plans.
If they knew that Xu Shiyan had several big sticks in his hands, regardless of whether the family was divided or not, they would definitely take action.
Xu Shiyan is no longer that heartless and honest man. If you don't want to be punished for yourself, you should take care of your own family first.
Even though Xu Shiyan said it implicitly, the brothers were still shocked.
"What, third brother, what did you just say? You went into the mountains and met a big guy?" Xu Shixian stumbled and looked at his younger brother in surprise.
How much can a large item of more than three taels be sold for? No one is sure about this.
Because the value of wild ginseng is not only reflected in its weight, but also the five shapes of whiskers, reeds, skin, grain, and body will have an impact on the quality grading of wild ginseng.
But weight is also the key. If the weight is not enough, no matter how beautiful the shape is, it will not be able to sell at a high price.
According to the current purchase price of wild ginseng, it can be sold for more than 400 yuan for about 2 taels. If the shape is better, it will be almost 500 yuan.
Two taels of wild ginseng is a dividing line. If you go further up, one tael more can make the price much higher. One tael more or less will double the price. If the body is in good shape, it is possible to double the price.
A stick sells for more than a thousand yuan, and a bear bile can be sold for about four or five hundred yuan.
By the way, the third child just said that there is also a four-leaf tree, which can be sold for some money.
The brothers were speechless for a while. When did it become so easy to make money?
In previous years, their whole family worked hard in the fields from spring to autumn to earn work points. At the end of the year, they had only 1,800 yuan left in addition to food rations. They were already the first-class family in the village.
But what about the third child? He goes to Songjiang River to sell fish and can earn dozens of yuan at a time.
This time it’s even more outrageous. If you go into the mountains for more than ten days, you can earn one or two thousand yuan?
Is this, is this justified?
"You are quite capable. Why didn't I see that you had this ability before we separated?" Xu Shian glanced at his younger brother and couldn't help but mutter.
In the past, the third child was just a follower behind Xu Shian, and he had never been seen to be capable.
Unexpectedly, after getting married, the third child's whole person changed drastically. He has great abilities and good luck. That's okay.
Xu Shiyan has no time to talk to his brothers at the moment, he is only thinking about his wife now.
"Lao Wu, how did you know about your third sister-in-law's pregnancy?"
It's not easy to ask the boss or the second child about this matter. Even if they all know it, it's not convenient for them to talk about it.
How can any eldest brother talk about the pregnancy of his brother-in-law? On the contrary, the fifth brother-in-law does not violate taboos and can say anything.
When asked by the third brother, Xu Shixiang told him everything he knew.
The brigade along the Dongjiang River also has ginseng fields, totaling about 2,000 feet. The ginseng seeds are ripe during this season, so the brigade arranges for people to go up the mountain to pinch the ginseng seeds.
This job is not heavy, but it requires people to kneel under the ginseng shed and do it slowly, so some young wives are chosen.
Xu Shiyan was not at home, and Su Anying had a restless temper, so she would go wherever there was work in the team.
Even though Su Anying has only been married for a short time, it is obvious to all that she is good at work, so when the captain arranged the work, the first thing he thought of was Su Anying.
Su Anying was really good at work. She was so deft. If someone else pinched one foot of ginseng seeds, she wished she could pinch two feet.
I don't know if it's because the weather is hot or because I'm tired from work.
When she was taking a break from work at noon, Su Anying just came out of the ginseng shed and straightened up, but she fell into the horse path and fainted.
At that time, the people who worked with him were frightened, and they were pinched and slapped on the chest and back, finally waking them up.
There is no need to work now, so he can be sent back to the village immediately.
Then the Xu family also learned the news, and Zhou Guilan hurried over to visit. Only then did she realize that Xu Shiyan had gone into the mountain alone.
But Zhou Guilan was so angry that she had to wait until the third child came back to kill him.
Zhou Guilan was worried about her daughter-in-law, so she simply took Su Anying back to the Xu family to take care of her.
It turned out that Su Anying had nausea and vomiting when she woke up in the morning, and even vomited out bitter bile.
Zhou Guilan has given birth to eight children in her life, raised six, and has five grandchildren at home. It can be said that she has rich experience, but how can she not tell? She has a daughter-in-law.
The third daughter-in-law became pregnant within two months of her arrival. This was a great event, and Zhou Guilan should be happy.
But Zhou Guilan couldn't be happy when she thought that her unattractive third child dared to go to the mountains to do it by herself.
So I kept talking about it every day, looking forward to my son's return.
After waiting and waiting for six or seven days longer than Xu Shiyan expected, Zhou Guilan finally couldn't help it and sent her three sons into the mountain early this morning to find Xu Shiyan.
If he couldn't find it today, Zhou Guilan planned to mobilize the villagers to go into the mountains to look for it.
"I've been fooling around all day long, so many of us didn't go to work and came out to look for you. I wonder how you're going to explain to our mother this time?"
Xu Shixian glared at his younger brother and said rather dissatisfied.
Xu Shiyan didn't bother to answer. As long as he could make money, he didn't need to explain anything.
No matter what year or month, money is the source of confidence.
It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money. As long as you have money in your pocket, you will be strong and you will not be afraid to speak anywhere.
Xu Shiyan remained silent, and the brothers were too embarrassed to complain too much, so they just walked all the way to the village.
When the four Xu Shiyan brothers entered the village, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
The weather is nice in August, and some old men and women in the village are sitting outside chatting. There are even a few older girls and younger wives who are also outside with needlework in their hands.
As soon as the four brothers entered the village, someone noticed them.
"Oh, it's San'er who's back. Oh my god, how dare you run into the mountains by yourself? Your mother is so anxious these days, her mouth is full of tears."
The first person to speak with a concerned look on her face was the mother-in-law of Zhao Dahai's family.
The Zhao and Xu families have a good relationship, and Aunt Zhao was really happy to see Xu Shiyan back.
"San'er, how are you going into the mountains? Did you do anything? You've been delayed for so many days, so don't do nothing."
The person who spoke later was none other than Chen Deyong’s mother. Her words sounded like gloating about someone else’s misfortune.
Last time Chen Deyong followed Xu Shiyan for a day, trying to figure out how Xu Shiyan made money, but he didn't understand anything and didn't say anything. He was tired and hot and wasted the whole day.
When I told my parents after returning home, the Chen family was very angry. Seeing Xu Shiyan now, the Chen family's mother-in-law had to say something sarcastic.
"Don't worry about it, Auntie. This time when we went into the mountains, we really got something. Look, didn't you kill a black blind man?"
