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

Chapter 64 How To Be You
Chun Niang hesitated and refused to open the door: "My husband is not at home, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to come in."

The visitor smiled and said: "You are Mrs. Jiang San, right? We are from Jinxiu Cloth Village in Simen Town. I heard that your family has two big gourds. I want to see the real face. Look, we brothers have traveled dozens of miles , can you let us take a look."

Ying Bao poked her head out from behind A Niang, tugged at A Niang and whispered, "Let them in."

Maybe these two are big customers.

Chunniang patted her daughter's head and stepped forward to open the bamboo fence door.

The two walked in and cupped their hands towards Chunniang: "Excuse me."

Chun Niang didn't let them into the house, she brought a big gourd herself, and put it on the stone slab in the middle of the yard for them to see.

The two people surrounded the big gourd in amazement, looked at each other, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if this gourd is for sale?"

Yingbao answered first: "Of course it is for sale, but if the price is not right, I won't sell it."

Chunniang nodded, "Several people want to buy this gourd from my family. I wonder how much money the gentleman can offer?"

One person asked, "How much do you want to sell?"

Chun Niang was speechless.

She didn't know how much this gourd could sell.

Yingbao also asked back: "Are you going to give us as much as we say?"

The man choked, then laughed loudly, "You little girl is really funny."

Another person said: "We also sincerely want to buy, but if it exceeds 30 taels, it's not worth it."

Ying Bao smiled and said, "Then 30 taels."

She has a lot of these things in her cave, and selling one for 30 taels is already a sky-high price. I can't be too greedy, and my greed will be struck by lightning.

The two were also cheerful, and took out three ingots of ten taels of silver from the bag and put them on the small table under the apple tree: "This is a silver ingot of ten taels, please take care."

He thought that the peasants didn't know the silver ingots, so he showed Chunniang the printed words on the inside of the silver ingots: "The Luzhou government office makes silver, ten taels. Have you seen it?"

Chunniang nodded: "I see."

The two picked up the gourd and wanted to leave, but Yingbao stopped him: "Take out the seeds before you take them away."

The man laughed and said: "You little girl is really a ghost. If there are no seeds in the gourd, even ten liang is worthless."

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked out of the yard, carefully placed the gourd on the mule cart, and the two jumped into the cart, waved their whips, and drove away from the small village quickly.

Yingbao pursed her lips and chuckled, touched the silver and muttered, "If you don't say that, you still feel that you have lost money. Hmph."

Chun Niang regretted, "Yeah, why forgot to dig out the seeds first." Even a few seeds are fine, it would be great to plant some at home.

Yingbao: "Isn't there a big gourd on the south slope? Let's just dig out the seeds of that gourd and plant it."

No matter how bad it is, there are still many caves in her cave.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chunniang carried the money back to the main room, and asked her daughter, "Do you keep the money, or does your mother keep it for you?"

"Leave it there." I still have more than 40 taels in my cave, and the 30 taels are still safe for my parents.

When Jiang Sanlang came back in the evening, he was also stunned when he heard that his gourd sold for 30 taels. "Who bought it?"

"It is said to be a cloth shop over the four gates." Chunniang told the husband in detail about today's events. "Let's dig out the gourd seeds on the southern slope and plant some, you see..."

"Okay! Tomorrow, I'll go to the south slope to cut out the gourd seeds." Since this thing is so valuable, it's better to plant some at home. If it can grow a big gourd, it will be another income.

As a result, before they left the house the next day, the patriarch and the village head came to the door.

"Sanlang, I heard that you sold the magic gourd from our village?"

Jiang Sanlang: ...

Why did his family's gourd belong to the village?
Patriarch Chen Fu looked distressed: "Sanlang, that is a fetish in our village, you can sell it as soon as you say it? Sigh, what about the other one? You can't sell it anymore."

He hadn't touched the gourd for a day, and he felt his back was sore, and it was hard to walk, and Lao Han's legs were throbbing and hurting.

Jiang Sanlang was about to speak, when Chen Sanyou said: "Sanlang, why don't you share the seeds of another gourd with the villagers in our village, and it's not for nothing. Let's see how much we charge, and we will pay for it."

Chen Sanyou knew that he and others couldn't stop Jiang Sanlang from selling gourds, but it wouldn't be too much to let him leave some seeds.

Jiang Sanlang thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, wait until I take out the seeds from the gourd."

So Jiang Sanlang went to the south slope and brought back the big gourd. He made a hole in the top and took a lot of effort to get the seeds out.

Clean up the pulp, and peel off a total of more than [-] plump seeds.

While he was digging out the meat, more than a dozen villagers surrounded him, and even the head of the patriarch and the village sat on a low stool and watched all the time.

There are a total of 28 households in Dongchen Village, which is the number of households on the household registration, but there are still many households that have not been separated. In fact, there are about forty households with a single family and a single household in the village.

There are only more than 30 seeds in total, how can they be distributed to each household?

"If not, let's divide according to household registration." Chen Sanyou, the village official, waved his hand, "Each household will be divided into one."

Jiang Sanlang has no objection, but how to collect money has become a problem.

It would definitely be unpleasant to have too many villagers, and it will be difficult for him to be a man in the village in the future, after all, the villagers can help him a lot.

For things like building houses and digging ponds, the family didn't pay a single penny, but they only provided them with two meals a day.

If there are less, it's better to send them away, they are all from the village, but a little seed, if they can't be planted, it's not easy to blame yourself.

Yingbao saw this scene when she came back from school. There were many people crowded in her yard, all of them craned their necks to look in the middle of the yard.

Squeeze in and have a look, there is a small handful of gourd seeds on the small table, and several elders are discussing something head to head.

Finally, Jiang Sanlang said: "Okay, then one ten Wen, but whether it can be planted or not depends on your luck."

He wanted to give it away for free, but the patriarch and the village chief disagreed, so Jiang Sanlang set a moderate price for the seeds.

Ten Wen is not a small amount in the eyes of the villagers, but it is still affordable.

Everyone readily agreed, and even Second Aunt Wang, who has always been haggling, didn't say anything, because her family can also get one, and the three sons of Chen Cunzheng's family live in separate households, but they only get one. Gourd species.

Even the richest family of the Chen clan in the village has only one, and it is a divine gourd seed.

Hehe, there is no harm without comparison, and Second Aunt Wang actually felt more at ease than ever before.

Not long after the gourd seeds were distributed, someone came to buy a gourd again, and Jiang Sanlang sold the empty gourd for 20 taels.

Many villagers watched this incident, and their hearts were filled with enthusiasm, wishing to go home and plant the gourd seeds immediately.

But now it's the beginning of autumn, and it's not the season for planting gourds. Everyone can only suppress their eagerness to move, carefully collect the gourd seeds, and only hope that spring will come soon next year.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival in July, Jiang Erlang was about to go to the southern slope to harvest golden ears, when he opened the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly saw a woman with disheveled hair standing outside the gate.

Jiang Erlang was startled, took a closer look, and his face darkened instantly, "Why are you? What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
