Chapter 9 Picking up chestnuts

With yesterday's reward, everyone got up early, packed up and started running for life.

Fang Cuiying proposed to sell fish. Her family used to be in business, and she counted money quickly. Secondly, she wanted to go to the town to see what kind of business there was. She wanted to do some small business with Brother Ye, and she was always staring at the field. Can only starve to death.

The boys now just want to go fishing on the river. For safety, Father Wang asked Wang Yonglin to take him with him and give them some red mud balls to mix with the bait.

The diluted red bait is naturally not as powerful as yesterday, but it can still lure many fish to the bait.

Father Wang went to the mountains today, because Wang Yongping hadn't come home and wanted to visit.

"Dad, these are grilled steamed buns and grilled fish. You can eat them with Yongping." Zhang Guihua took out a cloth parcel and stuffed a few dry steamed buns and two half-sized grilled fish into it.

"Dad, forget it if you can't beat him. It's very cold in the mountains." Zhang Guihua not only felt sorry for her father, but also for her own man.

An Ran was carried out to dig wild vegetables today. Alas, the strap was so tight that it swayed on his back.

When it comes to digging wild vegetables, An Ran feels that it is no different than digging for rabbit grass. Maybe it is not as good as rabbits.

The foot of the mountain was so clean that it was almost bare, and the army digging wild vegetables was halfway up the mountain.

The women in the family are also moving farther and farther away and climbing higher and higher.

"This rabbit eats a lot of grass. Humans eat nothing at all, and the old piles can't be seen." Zhang Guihua muttered.

An Ran thought, of course, it will be cold autumn soon, a little green would be nice.

"What is this? What kind of nuts are they like?" Zhang Guihua picked up a few and bit them. They were golden inside and looked edible.

"Don't eat it randomly, what if it's poisonous?" Li Zhenxiang was a little cautious.

"This is a chestnut, you can eat it. I ate it when I was a child. There are many trees here. Let's pick them up. They can be sold for money when they are roasted into candied chestnuts." Liu Chunlan grew up in the town and has more knowledge.

"Really, you can even sell it." Li Zhenxiang was in disbelief that there were still people eating this black thing.

Although the women were talking, their hands were moving very quickly, fearing that others would pick it up the next second.

An Ran has been put down, and her straps have been used to hold chestnuts. Look at this group of women, picking up chestnuts is like picking up money, as if not letting go of a copper coin.

This is a chestnut forest, there are more than a dozen chestnut trees, and they are all very good, and there are quite a few hanging on the trees.

"This thing pricks my hand. It's not easy to pick it up." Zhang Guihua's hand was pricked.

We didn’t dig any wild vegetables today, but there were bags after bags of chestnuts. An Ran’s little butt was pricked by the chestnut shells that looked like hedgehogs. If she hadn’t cried like a pig butchering, those women who were obsessed with picking chestnuts I can barely remember her, I pity her ass.

Today, the boys missed the joy of picking chestnuts again, and they all went fishing.

Lunch is a simple paste of wild vegetables with pickled vegetables and fish soup from last night.

"This thing can be eaten raw. It's a little sweet and can fill your stomach. It won't be bad if you eat too much." Zhang Guihua kept mouthing, knowing that she wouldn't be able to eat enough every day.

"That Ling girl, shake the washed clothes before drying them, otherwise they will become wrinkled."

"Oh." Li Aling shook the clothes in her hands, and stood on tiptoe to dry the clothes on the pole.

Wang Lao and Wang Yongping carried several large bundles of firewood back. Since the flood, the number of wild animals in the mountains was pitiful. They didn't know where they went, but they all drowned in the flood.

"Really, what a bullshit official, how can anyone in this world have free food and drinks?"

Fang Cuiying was so angry that she kept complaining when she got home.

It turned out that they met the new county magistrate when they were selling fish, and he walked to the place where they sold fish with a big belly.

I fell in love with a big carp they caught yesterday, but I asked someone to take it straight away, without giving me any of it, which is called filial piety.

If Fang Cuiying didn't want to cause trouble and end up in the same fate as her elder brother, Fang Cuiying would have wanted to scratch him to death as a dog official, so she would have known how to take care of the people.

Wang Yongye could only bear with it, the people would not fight with officials, besides, he was not a reasonable official and had no influence, if he went in, his father would not know how to get it.

An Ran was also angry, this dog official is really not a good thing, how come he was demoted and sent directly to the prison, it is less likely to cause harm to the community.

Fang Cuiying handed over all the money she earned from selling fish today. With a hundred yuan, she could buy dozens of kilograms of brown rice.

"Father, let's discuss something. Brother Ye and I went to the town to see it today. There are many people on the pier, and there are also many merchant ships. I want to do business, so I set up a stall there to sell some food for men.

My mother did it before, although she worked early and late, earning at least two, the capital was not taken from the family, my father gave some capital, and Ye Ge and I carried the profit and loss by ourselves, you see..." Fang Cuiying said while Give Wang Yongye a wink, at least you can help me.

Father Wang is a man with a bright mind and knows that the young couple has never wanted to take root in the ground. Although Fang Cuiying is a quick-talking person, she is smart and will not suffer at all. With the support of her mother-in-law, he has nothing to say.

These children have grown up, and they should make up their own minds, and do what they want.

"What kind of food are you going to sell? The people on the pier want to eat enough and cheap. Is it good or not? There are a lot of people setting up stalls there, so be careful to step on their tails."

As soon as Fang Cuiying heard this, she knew there was something going on, and the crackling was like pouring beans, and the cake was getting bigger and bigger.

Lying in the small cradle, An Ran listened to her second aunt's grand blueprint, and had to say that her second aunt was a thoughtful person, and if she was given a chance, she would definitely be fine.

The other sisters-in-law were moved when they heard this, but this business is not that easy to do. They didn’t even have to wear their pants because they were worried about losing money.

I really envy Fang Cuiying, her natal family is very strong, the farmers can't get enough to eat, and her natal family still has spare money to use for the married daughter to start a business.

An Ran waved her little hand, "Abba, Abba, when will I grow up? I also want to make money." She tilted her head while thinking, "Isn't there one?"

"Fu Bao is good, give me a hug from Grandpa." Father Wang picked An Ran up, patted An Ran on the back, and walked around.

"Hey, you little girl, you can take out these things casually, didn't grandpa tell you?"

Father Wang was shocked when he saw a red apple appear in An Ran's hand. There were so many pairs of eyes in the house.

Father Wang knows about his granddaughter's strangeness, but when these magical powers are discovered, they will only cause disasters, and may even lead to the destruction of the family. The so-called ordinary man is innocent and harbors the treasure.

An Ran just wished she could learn to speak quickly. Father Wang didn't understand what she meant. She wanted them to exchange the things she took out for money, so that they could live a good life.

"Don't worry about it. Your teeth haven't even grown yet. Let them worry about it first." Father Wang didn't want his granddaughter to do too much. People have to be self-reliant.

An Ran has to admire this old man, if someone finds such a baby bump in his home, he should not offer it up like a god, it will be like a cornucopia and he will get rich overnight.

Maybe she was too impatient. She should calm down, take care of the farm, and make other plans when she grows up. It would still be a big trouble if someone discovered that she was plotting against her.

The farm is now prosperous everywhere, and a spring has recently been developed. The spring water is sweet and clear of diseases and odors. Everything grown in the land irrigated by the spring water grows quickly and well.

There are many precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, snow lotus and so on in the medicine field, and each plant grows extremely well. She also obtained several pharmacology books, which she reads to pass the time.

Now on the farm, she not only looks at the vegetable garden and fruit trees but also takes care of the medicine field every day. From time to time, she also goes to the processing room to look at various agricultural products, and sometimes she gets some unexpected treasures.

For example, these books and medicines, if they are placed outside, they will be the rare copies of rare treasures, Hua Tuo, who has rejuvenated his hands, is alive, and there are poisons.

"Fu Bao, this little pig, sleeps when he's full every day. He's not clingy at all." Li Zhenxiang looked at her daughter who was snoring and sleeping soundly. She kissed her little cheek and wrapped the quilt tightly.
