After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Chapter 33 Snow Fungus

Jiang Sanlang quickly agreed.

Xizizi returned home with copper coins on her back, took out five hundred Wen for the little girl, took another fifteen hundred Wen for herself, and gave the rest to his wife.

Bringing copper coins to the eldest brother's house, he called two nephews, each of them shared one hundred Wen, and gave the eldest brother and the second brother five hundred Wen each.

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

Give my parents another three hundred Wen as filial piety, and then said with a smile: "I sold the golden ears that Yingbao picked up in the woods today, and I got more than four pennies."

"A lot of four strings?" Jiang Dalang was surprised, "Isn't that golden ear made of gold, why is it so valuable?"

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

Then he said to the eldest brother and the second brother: "I have bred another batch, and it is only sprouting now. When it grows mature, I will distribute some of the golden ear roots to the eldest brother and the second brother, and teach you to grow some."

Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang nodded happily.

Jiang Erlang was embarrassed to accept the money from his third brother, and declined, saying, "I still owe you Sanguan, how can I ask for the five hundred dollars?"

Jiang Sanlang smiled and said: "Second brother, you take it and use it first, and return it to me when you make money later."

"That's good." Jiang Erlang took back the money and sighed inwardly.

After the reconciliation, he took care of two children by himself. Life was not easy, but he did not regret it.I also made up my mind that I must earn a lot of money in the future, so that I and my children can live a good life, and I will not make jokes for others.

But making money is easier said than done.

I've been busy with farm work recently, and I don't have time to go out to find a living, and I don't even have ten pennies on hand.

If it wasn't for his eldest brother and sister-in-law who asked his family to come back to eat every day, it is estimated that he would not even be able to sustain two meals a day.

Alas, if the third brother's golden ears can always be sold at a high price, then I will have hope, and follow the third brother to plant a little bit, and worry about not making money?

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

Jiang Sanlang was naturally happy, and brought his second elder brother and old father to his yard.

Now the yard of Jiang Sanlang’s house is extremely cramped. Not only are there chicken sheds and deer sheds, but also a bamboo shed and a two-person earthen kiln.

A wooden frame is placed in the bamboo shed. The wooden frame has two floors, and ten dead mulberry trees with a length of one tuo are placed on each floor.

A dozen or so holes were chiseled in the mulberry wood, and the holes were filled with rice husk and sawdust, and golden ear roots were planted in the holes.

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

"If all these grow out, how much will it cost?" Jiang Dalang exclaimed.I counted and found twenty dead mulberry trees.

If each mulberry tree grows ten golden ears, it will be two hundred.

Two hundred golden ears, how much silver do you have to sell after drying?

Jiang Dalang's heart trembled.

A while ago, when the third younger brother was roasting golden ears, he also came to see it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

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

Now that Sanlang really sells at a high price, and earns more than four pennies at a time, how can he not make him palpitate with envy.

Only a dozen dried golden ears are sold for so much money, so how much money will these more than 200 golden ears make?

Hey, I dare not even think about it.

Jiang Dalang turned his head and asked his third brother: "Sanlang, where did you find the golden ear seedlings, why don't we go and look for them together, and look at them together with you."

He couldn't wait any longer, he had to go to the mountain to find Jin Er immediately.

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

Therefore, Yingbao, who came back from the deer, was surrounded by her uncles and uncles kindly, and asked her expectantly, where did she get the golden ears.

Yingbao blinked: "I found it in the woods over there, but it's gone, why don't we go to Beishan to look for it."

She still remembered that the boy in rags said that the load of firewood was cut in Shita Mountain, Beishan.

"Okay! Let's go to Beishan to look for it." Jiang Dalang said excitedly as he slapped his thigh.There are many forests in Beishan, and there are also many mulberry trees, maybe you can really find it.

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 panniers.

There are many fruit trees in Beishan, and in the early spring and March, peach blossoms, pear blossoms and apricot blossoms all over the mountain are competing to bloom, which is too beautiful to behold.

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

A group of people stopped and ran over several hills and searched for countless trees. They didn't find golden ears, but accidentally found a few white fungus the size of an egg.

Yingbao was pleasantly surprised, he didn't allow his father and the others to move around, but let them cut down the dead mulberry tree and carry it home.

Because it was a dead tree, Jiang Sanlang didn't hesitate, and he and his eldest and second brothers cut down the dead tree that was as thick as a bowl.

"I don't know who owns this land, and no one came to take care of it."

Jiang Dalang muttered, looked around, and urged the two younger brothers to leave quickly. "You can't be seen, let's go."

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

Jiang Erlang stood on the high slope, looked at it for a while, and said, "It's okay, this land should be confiscated, and no one will take care of it."

According to the law of the Daqian Dynasty, after the death of the landlord, the koufen land under his name must be returned to the court, and will be distributed to other young men in the future.

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

Jiang Dalang was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately told his two sons: "Hurry up and look around to see if there are any snow fungus left."

It was also the first time for him to see this thing. He heard from his little niece and third brother that it was called Xue Er, and it was also very valuable. Li Langzhong's pharmacy sold it, so he hurriedly asked his two sons to look for it.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan agreed and went to look for it 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 bigger than the nail cap, but it's better because of the large number, there are several clusters of it.

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

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

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

After all, every family lacks firewood, and it is common to come back from Beishan to cut firewood.

The two dead trees were sent 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 and leaning against the bamboo shed.

At night, Yingbao secretly sprinkled the snow fungus on the two dead trees with water from the Dongfu pool, and then sprinkled the golden ear again, and then went back to the house to rest.

Looking at it the next day, not only was the snow ear not dead, but it had grown a lot.

Yingbao is very happy.

Seeing that there are snow fungus fungus, she will get some in the cave to raise them later.

More than 20 days passed in a flash.

The golden ears in Jiang Sanlang's bamboo shed can finally be harvested.

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

He and Chun Niang washed their hands, and harvested carefully with a newly bought thin knife.

Then remove all the roots of the golden ears, carefully put them on the hollowed-out bamboo drawers, put some in the sun, and bake the other part in a kiln.

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

The weather in the past few days has been particularly sunny. In just five days, more than 100 golden ears have been dried out.

Jiang Sanlang picked up one, looked at it, and compared it with his own baked one, saying: "The golden ear baked in the stove is still drier, but the color is not as good as that in the sun."

Chunniang thinks that the dried ones look better, but it is too troublesome and tiring.

Because someone has to guard the kiln all night, add firewood and remove the fire at any time, and keep the temperature of the furnace neither high nor low.In the past few days, my husband has lost weight.

　The price of golden ears has been revised.Please point out the unreasonable places, and I will correct them.
