Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 40

Jiang Ancheng's explanation was easy to understand, and Sun Xianghong quickly figured out the essentials.

It's noon now, and there's still an afternoon of fungus and flower picking time. I'll sort it out tonight, and Jiang Ancheng will come to collect the goods in the early morning.

He and Chen Lijuan have to hurry home now and tell the villagers that flowers can make money.

For the brightly colored lilies, Jiang Ancheng charged five cents a catty, and he could earn a small fortune with two cents a catty.

Sun Xianghong called the three children home. The children had a great time playing ball with Xiao Yuer, and they wanted to take Xiao Yuer to pick goat milk fruit later.

They didn't want to leave, Sun Xianghong made a serious face, and they reluctantly bid farewell to Xiao Yu'er, and walked away step by step.

Just as Sun Xianghong and the others left, Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei also planned to go into the mountains with their backpacks to get fungi, so they stopped by to tell Lao Li that they were collecting flowers now.

The two of them should be serious today, and they can at least get two hundred catties of matsutake when they enter the mountain.

Two hundred catties, plus Sun Xianghong's family and Uncle Zhou's family, almost five or six hundred catties, which can also save more costs to buy flowers.

As soon as he put his clothes together and carried them on his back, Lao Li came with two elders from the village.

Lao Li said to Jiang Ancheng: "Brick will be delivered this afternoon, where are you going?"

I have to repair the house and run outside.

When people build houses, they wish they could grow eighteen pairs of eyes, staring at the big guys to do their jobs, lest they will suffer a little.

Jiang Ancheng was still honest.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "Uncle, I happened to be looking for you."

"Ok?"

"Yufei and I are now collecting lilies. If the villagers can get them back, I will take them. The brightly colored ones cost five cents a catty, and the white ones cost [-] cents a catty."

Lao Li was a little surprised, "Is there someone in the city who collects flowers?"

"Well, there is a boss."

Lao Li's family is considered wealthy in the village, and he doesn't like flowers that cost two cents a catty, but to the villagers, no matter how small a mosquito is, they are all meat, and getting wild flowers is definitely easier than digging up fungi. .

As far as his family is concerned, he will definitely want to go to the mountains to get some.

Before he replied, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang next to him became excited, "It's five cents a catty, really? I'm going to ask someone to get it now. When are you going to collect it? Take it and go to the city. spread?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Well, really, but there are requirements, flower buds should not be in full bloom, leaves under five centimeters must be removed, and the poles should not be too long. You all know that lilies can grow two to three meters long. Get some long poles, I don’t need to spread them, about [-] centimeters will do.”

Jiang Ancheng talked too much, and the three elders understood after glancing at the fresh-cut lily flowers in the clay pot.

"Basically, lilies are white. It's hard to find other colors. Five cents is a bit cheap." Uncle Wang wanted to raise the price.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Five cents is not cheap anymore, I still have to ask someone to get it to the city, and if I really want to find it, it's not like I can't find it, it depends on my luck, good luck, several times a day block, take it easy."

Chen Yufei said: "That's right, if my sister-in-law wasn't pregnant, she would be able to bring back hundreds of catties by herself."

Uncle Zhang asked anxiously again: "Then you charge a lot, don't waste your time and get it back, and you don't charge it again. It's not easy to go into the mountains."

"I'll take as much as I have, I won't lie to my uncles, I will keep it for a long time, I promise."

With Jiang Ancheng's permission, the uncles looked at each other, "Then you want us to tell the villagers?"

Although there are many wild flowers in the mountains, if the nearby flowers are gone, you have to go to the far distance, and it is really tiring to go back and forth.

If everyone enters the mountain and the competition is fierce, just like good bacteria, the number will drop sharply, and it will be difficult to make money.

Jiang Ancheng nodded, "Say it, uncles."

Lao Li nodded, "Okay, when do you want it, today?"

Even if it's not easy to make money in the future, it's good to be able to make some money now. If you hide it, other people in the village will be ashamed if they don't make this money.

Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhang had a lot of thoughts, planning to run back and tell their family members later.

If you cut back the wild lilies around you first, you can at least earn a few dollars, and you can't do anything.

Jiang Ancheng said happily: "Well, I will accept it today." Then he asked: "Do you want to repair the house tomorrow?"

Lao Li nodded: "Well, it's almost there."

"Okay, uncle, I may not be able to come back to the city tomorrow, so I'll ask my hall brother to work with you."

"Row."

After explaining the matter of collecting flowers clearly, Jiang Ancheng was still afraid that the lilies brought back by some people would not meet the requirements, so he deliberately took a few lilies from the clay pot, and asked them to tell the big guys according to this standard.

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang secretly complained that Jiang Ancheng looked honest, but in fact he was a thief, and he didn't want to suffer any more.

Old Li felt that Jiang Ancheng was careful. If the ones he got back didn't meet the requirements, the villagers would gossip and make everyone unhappy. If we agreed in advance, we would avoid problems.

Uncle Wang's house was just a little in front of the Jiang family's big house, Quan Hongmei saw their whole family dispatched and went to the mountains with their backs on their backs, and called out to them strangely: "Where are you going to make good things?"

She managed to save more than 200 yuan from her private house, and Wang Lehu was going to pay Jiang Anshun's gambling debts. Now she is very tight, and she has long wanted to go to the mountains to get some herbal mushrooms. , It's a little better now, seeing them go, I want to follow them.

Aunt Wang didn't want others to know that she could go to the mountain to cut lilies and sell them. Besides, every family knew that Jiang Ancheng and Jiang Anshun were already at a standstill, and no one wanted to deal with Quan Hongmei. Aunt Wang said perfunctorily, "It's nothing, just cut some pigweed."

Quan Hongmei frowned, the whole family was required to mow the pigweed, and the pigs in her family were afraid that they would die.

I must have found something like Polygonum multiflorum wild yam, and I don't want her to know.

Then she still wants to go!
Quan Hongmei picked up the sling, threw a hoe into it, and quickly followed.

Aunt Wang was very upset and wanted to get rid of her, because her girl liked flowers and knew a place where there were beautiful lilies that Jiang Ancheng paid a high price of five cents.

To be cut off by Quan Hongmei is equivalent to cutting off her flesh.

Aunt Wang whispered to her sons and daughters to hurry up, and threw Quan Hongmei away.

Quan Hongmei felt the wind at her feet, and shouted behind them, "I'll go with you to cut pigweed too!"

Suddenly, she saw all directions in the village, everyone with their backs on their backs set off towards the top of the mountain.

Quan Hongmei suddenly had a feeling of being kept in the dark by everyone. When she saw Zhao Feng in the crowd, she stopped chasing Aunt Wang and the others. She rushed over and asked, "Why do you all go into the mountains?"

Zhao Feng immediately looked at her with a look of surprise and amusement, "You don't know, Jiang Ancheng accepts lilies for five cents a catty, and everyone is rushing into the mountains to harvest them now."

"He is also really cruel. How can a family and brothers have an overnight feud? Everyone knows it, but you don't know it."
