Chapter 174 Discovery of Earth Gold
"Changxi! Something serious happened to your family!"
event?What a big deal?
It's a good thing!or bad thing?
Before he could ask, he listened to the man again.
"Your family is very lucky, and you have dug up earth gold, hurry up and have a look!"
"Earth gold? What!" Couldn't be what she was thinking about.
Literally, in her family's field, have you dug a golden lump?
Thinking of this, Chang Xi was shocked.
"Where is it?" Her family has a lot of land now, with 5 mu of fertile land, 6 mu of homestead, and [-] mu of wasteland, she is indeed qualified to ask this question.
The person who came to deliver the message smiled happily.
"It's on the side of your homestead, hurry up and watch the fun, your mother is already there."
"I went to see it too, and I'm going home now."
It turned out that he had just come back from watching the excitement, when he caught Chang Xi mentioning it.
When Chang Xi arrived happily, she saw the group of construction team members and her mother holding a hoe and digging things in the homestead under the sun.
Not far from them, there were baskets, some empty, and some already filled with clod-like bumps.
Chang Xi couldn't see clearly from a distance, so Chang Xi rushed into the ground excitedly.
The elder brother and the younger brother also came running from different directions. Chang Le yelled loudly, and Wen Furong knew it was his son and daughter without looking up.
Satisfied, she stopped what she was doing, leaned on the ground with a hoe in one hand, and stood with one hand on her hip to speak.
"Run slowly, and be careful not to trip over your feet."
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, she, who was still running wildly, automatically slowed down, and Chang Xi was the last to approach.
Chang Le cheered happily: "What is earth gold?"
"Did our family get rich and have something worth more than silver!!!"
He jumped up and down around his mother, but Chang Xi's eyes fell on the basket, and he picked up a few pieces from it to check.
Rub it with your hands to shake off the soil on it, but the golden yellow that Chang Xi was looking forward to was not revealed, but there are some roots, no matter how you look at it, they are plant roots.
Chang Xi's little heart, which was flying upwards, fell to the ground with a thud.
Tujin didn't mean it literally, it was because she was thinking too much.
Just when she was slightly disappointed, Wen Furong said in a slightly excited tone: "This is a good thing. No one wants to grow it. It is a delicacy that grows freely in the fields occasionally."
"Its price is too high. Our family is lucky this time. The ones we dug up now can be sent to Manxianglou for at least 5 taels of silver."
"Look, such a vast land has not been dug yet."
"Let's not fix the foundation of our house, just dig up all the earth and gold!" Then Wen Furong was ready to work hard again.
"Chang Ping, you take them home, let's make do at noon."
Seeing what Wen Furong meant, she was so excited that she didn't even want to eat lunch.
And Chang Xi, who was standing next to him, after careful observation, discovered that this object turned out to be konjac.
Konjac shreds are commonly eaten by later generations to lose weight, and frozen konjac raw materials are commonly eaten in hot pots.
She was very surprised, how this kind of rhizome plant, which is not very eye-catching in later generations, and the price in the vegetable market is only ordinary, has gained the reputation of earthy gold here.
"Mom, since it's a vegetable that earns a lot of money, why don't you want to plant it?"
Wen Furong snorted, "It's not easy to serve."
"When planting, it is a physical labor. In addition, if it is planted in the first year, there will be no harvest, and it will take until the second year to see the money back."
"Every household, who doesn't rely on the fields for food?"
"Who has vacant land, use it to grow this thing? It's not like rice and wheat, which can fill the stomach, pay taxes, and harvest twice a year."
"Everyone knows how to make money, but they are powerless!"
Chang Xi now understands that konjac is a perennial plant.
In ancient times, if you did not grow food in a field, you would starve to death or be tortured to death by taxation. Anyway, no one dared to let the land have a window period.
In other words, it can be called earth gold because of the time cost?
Until the sun went down, nearly [-] catties of konjac were harvested from the six acres of land.
The big and small baskets were full, and her family didn't have enough, so she went to Wang Li's house and Aunt Chang's house to borrow a lot.
Some villagers who came back from the fields met them and spontaneously helped to carry them. Everyone laughed amicably.
"If it wasn't dark, I wouldn't even want to stop." Wen Furong touched her sweat panting, her tone full of regret.
The people who came to help laughed: "The things are in your field, and you can't run on your own."
"That's right." Wen Furong thought so, and felt relieved.
On the way, a Mrs. Chang Qin came out, and she helped to transport it all the way to the door of the house. When she arrived, she chatted with Wen Furong, but she didn't want to leave.
When Chang Xi came back from school, what he saw was this scene.
Even though the two families broke up, she was not too polite, calling her Second Aunt.
"Second Aunt, are you okay?"
Chang Xi asked nonchalantly, but didn't seem to want to know her answer.Put some konjac in your small basket.
Chang Qin's face froze with a smile. Seeing that the sister-in-law said to give her some to eat, if the sister-in-law didn't let go, wouldn't it be a waste of her work?
Besides, she also came out with an order, and her mother-in-law would have to beat her to death if she didn't return with "earth gold".
Now that he rolled his eyes, his mind was on Chang Xi.
"You are so polite, girl. They are all from my own family. It is only right for the second aunt to help your family. You don't have to give me these!"
Chang Qinshi smiled and waved his hands, saying something obstructive, but his face was full of joy.
Chang Xi raised her eyes suspiciously: "Second Aunt, I didn't say it was for you, did I? I plan to give it to Master."
Chang Qin's face froze, she really didn't expect that girl Chang Xi would answer so unceremoniously, not even acting courteously, it was very different from what she expected.
Chang Xi seemed to be incomprehensible and said: "My master said that this is also a kind of medicinal material, but the medicinal value is not high. I am curious and want to send some to listen to what master has to say."
"Second Aunt, I'm leaving." Chang Xi turned around after filling the small pannier.
"Eh, me." Without giving her a chance to speak, Chang Qinshi was so angry that she couldn't vent her anger, and she was ashamed in front of her sister-in-law.
No matter how dull Wen Furong is, it's time to wake up now.
"Although our two families have lost their relationship, we still live in the same village. We don't see each other when we look up, and we should help each other."
"I have written down your love today. Next time your family needs help, I will definitely be there."
This is blocking the conversation. If you want to share my things, you can't do it, but I can help you.
Chang Qin was quite helpless, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but she didn't catch anything, but was she easily defeated?
Immediately cheered up and laughed: "Yes, you are right."
"Sister-in-law is a sensible person. By the way, what do you plan to do with you bastards?"
"Oh, I can't finish it at home. I plan to sell it at Manxianglou tomorrow, and dig up the rest when I come back. You also know that it's time to spend money for my new house."
