Ms. Sun glared at her with some dissatisfaction: "Second daughter-in-law, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
The old man dislikes the old man for saying these unfavorable words before he even starts.
Mrs. Qin also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she lowered her head and did not dare to say a word. Lu Laoer hurriedly helped his wife to speak: "Mom, Tao'er is also worried about me."
< br /> Of course Mrs. Sun knew this, and she glanced at the couple without saying anything. Ms. Yu said: "Mother, the third brother and sister are talking ugly and truthful words. We are inexperienced, so we should be careful."
< br /> Mrs. Sun subconsciously looked at He Jiuniang. 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 for people to quarry in the mountains. This is mainly because we are short of stone here." An experienced 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 I didn't speak just now, He Jiuniang made a calculation in her mind. They wanted a lot of stones. Even if they had to pay someone to quarry the stones themselves, it would be more cost-effective than buying them directly. If you have money, you are a bastard.
Before anyone else could say anything, 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 offer are better than those of quarrying." The quarry costs ten cents more."
If it were in the past, Mrs. Sun would be so distressed that she would lose her hair for spending so much money, but recently she has become accustomed to seeing He Jiuniang act like a grudge, and she felt that she should please An extra ten cents for a master doesn't seem too much.
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 me out and let me go. I'll go look for him."
"No, I'll do it!"< br />
Lu Laoer was about to leave. Remembering that he still had "injuries" on his body, he deliberately slowed down his movements.
Mrs. Sun saw his reckless look and stopped him angrily: "Wait, I'll get some money for you."
The person in the second bedroom of the big house Unlike He Jiu Niang who is as clever as making money, she doesn't have much money on her. She only has the twenty taels of silver that He Jiu Niang gave them before and keeps them properly. Shi 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 mountains to log wood with another group of people. , everyone suddenly became happy and went up the mountain.
PositiveWell, He Jiuniang and the others also wanted to go up the mountain. It would be safer to follow a group of men, so they took 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 to prepare 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.
He Jiuniang was not here to dig wild vegetables. She told Mrs. Qin and prepared to leave.
"Third younger brothers and sisters, don't go too deep, there are wild beasts in the mountains."
Ms. Qin didn't care what she was going to do, anyway, she felt that the third younger sisters were now It's amazing. Almost all the money in the family is earned by her three siblings. Even if she lies in bed all day and doesn't go out, they won't have any problem. They are just worried that she will be in danger if she goes to the mountains alone.
"Now that I know the second sister-in-law, I will go and take a look. You don't need to worry about me."
He Jiuniang waved her hand and left with a small backpack on her back.
Mrs. Shen looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh with sincerity: "The third sister-in-law is really amazing. Our journey is really thanks to the third sister-in-law! Otherwise, there wouldn't be us. 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 and saved their lives, and when they came to Jingzhou and sent their children to study, they I can repay He Jiuniang for the rest of my life without any complaints.
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, there were A few rays of sunshine filtered down, and occasionally a few birds chirped in the quiet forest. Everything was quiet and beautiful, as if 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.
And 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 high. It's rare, so it's naturally expensive.
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 because she is looking for too many medicinal materials.I couldn’t explain it clearly when I went back, so I could only simply find one or two items and bring them to the county town to test 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 didn’t dig any more, but planned to look around and discover good things.
Suddenly seeing a large green thing, He Jiuniang's eyes widened instantly, fearing that she had seen it wrong.
She walked over to check with some excitement, held the leaves and carefully identified them for a while, and then took out a small hoe to dig around. Looking at the few yellow balls exposed, He Jiuniang almost wanted to scream. Call.
It’s actually a potato!
Potatoes are an exotic variety. They used to be called potatoes because they were brought here by merchants.
Based on her original identity and her investigation during this period, He Jiuniang knew that there was no such thing as potatoes in this era, so even if there were a lot of them in the space at any time, she did not dare to take them out rashly for fear of causing something. Suspect.
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 many things.
It was precisely because of this incident that she was inspired. With this deep mountain, she could use the mountain as a reason to take whatever she wanted. Anyway, no one would pay attention to the original nature of this mountain. What's not to say?
Without saying a word, she dug another pile and filled the baskets, and then went to find Qin and others with satisfaction.
