I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 14

As soon as Wang Laosan heard the great news, he immediately put down his work in the field and ran to the other side of the banyan tree.Don't look at him as a little old man, he can run quite neatly.People on the road saw Wang Laosan running so fast and asked curiously, "Wang Laosan, what are you running for?"

Wang Laosan breathed out, "Didn't you hear what Shancai said? The village chief called everyone to a meeting. He said it was a great event. I have to hurry up, or I won't be able to make it."

A woman asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Laosan said, "I don't know, I'll know if I go there!"

A few people look at me and I look at you and say, "Yes, yes, let's go too, don't keep the village chief waiting."

People in the country are very simple and honest, as long as money is not involved, no one will hide it.Soon, everyone in the village got the news and rushed under the banyan tree.An hour later, almost all the villagers had arrived.

There are a total of 100 households in Wangjia Village. There are more than [-] people of all ages, men, women, and children. It can be regarded as a large village.People with the surname of Wang accounted for more than half of the village, and a small number of people with the surname of Liu. People with different surnames like the Ning family moved here from other places later.

Wang Laosan couldn't hold back his temper and asked: "Village Chief, what is the purpose of calling us here today? You should start quickly!"

Wang Youde couldn't see Wang Laosan's anxious look, "Why are you so anxious, isn't it because the people haven't arrived yet. Shancai, go door-to-door and check to see which ones no one has arrived!"

Wang Laosan was a little afraid of Wang Youde and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what the village chief said is true!"

Wang Shancai quickly ordered the names and said to Wang Youde, "Father, I have already ordered, and no one has arrived except Grandma Qi's house at the entrance of the village. People have arrived from every house."

Wang Youde replied: "Grandma Qi is old and her legs and feet are not good. She probably won't come with her grandson alone. Well, let's start then!"

The villagers talked a lot, and the village head paid so much attention this time, it must be because something big happened.

Hearing everyone's clamor, Wang Youde said loudly: "Be quiet, be quiet, everyone be quiet, if you miss the opportunity to make a fortune by being so noisy, don't blame me, the village head, for not doing it." to equal treatment."

"Get rich, get rich, what do you mean, village chief, do you want to give money to us guys?" It was Zhang Dafen, the second daughter-in-law of the old Wang family who spoke.

Zhang Dafen is clearly greedy for petty gain, as long as it is about money, she can have a hundred more thoughts.

Wang Youde's face darkened, this Zhang Dafen is a guy who loves to get cheap, when did he say that he would give out money.

"Ms. Wang Zhang, if you don't want to hear it, get the hell out of here now. Don't just think about what you have and what you don't have all day long. There will be no pie in the sky."

Zhang Dafen stopped talking immediately, and she just said it casually, she didn't expect the village chief to be so angry.

Even though the village chief is usually a kind person, he is famous for his fairness. Once he loses his temper, his aura is quite scary.

Seeing that the village chief was angry, everyone fell silent.An old man with a higher seniority came out to smooth things over, so Wang Youde changed his expression and began to say

"I called everyone together today because I have an important matter to tell you. Yesterday Ning Jiawulang found something on the mountain he just bought. It is called yam. This yam can be used as food and medicine, so I specially Come and tell everyone, so that everyone can know about this medicine."

After hearing Wang Youde's words, the village names were in an uproar, and then they started talking:

"Ning Wulang, isn't that the Ning family boy who knows how to cause trouble all day long? How did I hear that he is going to die of illness?"

"The Ning family bought land, when did it happen?"

"Where did the Ning family get the money to buy the land? Doesn't it mean that they can't get rid of it?"

"Yam, what kind of yam, I have never heard of it!"

Wang Youde saw that the voices of the villagers were getting louder, so he raised his voice
"Everyone be quiet, I know you have a lot of questions, now let's ask Ning Jiawulang to come out and explain to everyone."

Ning Jiawulang is also here?Where is it, why didn't I see it!

Ning An slowly walked to the middle of the crowd and immediately attracted everyone's attention.Today's Ning An wore a half-new blue robe, his hair was tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin, and he had a gentle smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Everyone wondered, is this still the Ning Jiawulang? Why is it different from the past, as if he was a different person.

Ning An stood in the center of the crowd, accepting everyone's scrutiny. Today is her first step to change everyone's impression.

Ning An saluted respectfully, and said loudly, "Hi, uncles, seniors, folks, I am Ning'an, Wulang of the Ning family. After listening to the words of the village chief, Wan Sheng knows that everyone must have many questions in their minds. What is yam? Yam Is it really possible to change money? How much is it for a catty? Where can I change it? Don't worry, everyone, please listen to Wansheng tell me one by one."

Ning An took out a yam and held it up high, "Look, everyone, this is a yam. It can be peeled and eaten. It can be steamed or boiled, and it can also be used to make cakes. Moreover, it has very high medicinal value and can strengthen the spleen. Nourishing the stomach, tonifying the kidneys, nourishing the lungs and relieving coughs, it can be sold for thirty renminbi per catty."

The crowd was boiling, my God, thirty words.Someone immediately asked, "Ning Wulang, is what you said true?"

Ning An didn't know who was asking the question and said calmly, "Of course it's true. Wansheng has already inquired clearly from Dr. Zhang of Baohe Hall. How much do you charge?"

After hearing Ning An's words, a person in the crowd said: "I know Doctor Zhang from Baohetang. My uncle was sick last time and he invited Doctor Zhang from Baohetang. He is a good doctor with extremely high medical skills. What he said I can trust you. Ning Wulang, I trust you."

Another person asked: "Ning Wulang, I think this yam has soil in it, and it seems to grow in the soil. I don't know what its leaves look like, so we can recognize them later?"

"What this big brother said is that the late-growing vines of the yam have also been brought, please take a look!"

So all the people gathered around, staring at the vine in Ning An's hand without blinking, for fear of missing any details.

Ning An added: "According to Wan Sheng's observations, this yam is fairly prolific, and one plant can weigh five to ten catties."

One plant can produce so much, "Ning Wulang, what you said is true, are there really so many?"

Ning An's expression remained unchanged, "This matter is absolutely true, Wan Sheng dare not lie."

Everyone was silent in Ning An's words, a plant was five to ten catties, and a catty was thirty Wen, it's not like finding a random plant can cost a hundred Wen.At this moment, there was inexplicable excitement on the faces of all the people.

"Ning Wulang, why do you tell everyone about such a way to make money? What ghosts are you thinking about?" At this moment, a discordant voice sounded from the crowd.Ning An heard the sound and searched for this person, but found nothing unusual.
