Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 27 Money is hard to make but not hard to spend

In the blacksmith shop, the master had finished firing. Song Dashan checked that there was no problem and handed over a tael of silver. He originally had more than 200 coins to get back, so Song Dashan simply gritted his teeth and bought a smaller pot.

Now at their home, everyone unanimously decided to hand over the silver to Song Chen for safekeeping. Song Chen happily accepted it. After all, there was no suitable place to store the silver in their home, but she could put it all in the space.

Because she had to buy something, she took out five taels of silver and gave it to Song Dashan before going out in the morning. At first, they thought five taels of silver was too much, but now they had almost one tael of silver, plus the few taels they had spent to buy food. Baiwen, several people's hearts were trembling.

This money is hard to earn but easy to spend. There are still many things to buy next.

When Song Chen came over, he saw the three people with sad faces.

"Father, mother, brother, what's wrong with you?" Song Chen thought something happened while she was away.

"It's okay, where have you been?" Song Dashan did not say that he was feeling distressed.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Chen didn't ask any more questions, "Is it done? Have you paid?"

"It's done, the money is paid, let's go." Song Dashan looked at Song Chen's empty hands, "Didn't you buy anything?"

In their eyes, Song Chen was still a child. She had previously said that she wanted to go for a walk and buy some things that she liked, but Song Dashan was a little surprised when she came back empty-handed.

Song Chen shook his head, "I don't have anything to buy. I just feel like I have nothing to do while waiting here."

Naturally, she wouldn't say anything about buying those seeds, but Song Dashan's words also made her guess why they were so sad just now. They must have felt bad about spending money.

Next, they bought some other things and filled the oxcart before returning to the village.

On the way from the village entrance to the shabby house, everyone passing by would stare at them with envy in their eyes.

Almost as soon as they arrived home, word spread throughout the village that they had bought back an oxcart of goods.

Almost everyone is thinking about one question: whether to go to Jiuling Mountain or not!
Going means you can make money, but you may lose your life.

If you don't go, you won't have money, but your life will be safe.

This news naturally spread to the old Song family. Song Qingyun had left Beiguan Village and returned to the book school in the town yesterday. Song Zhou was still lying in bed after being kicked by Song Chen, and several other members of the old Song family I don’t know where my son went.

As soon as the eldest daughter-in-law came back, she talked angrily for a long time. After listening to this, Old Man Song sat at the gate in silence for a long time with a cigarette in his mouth.

The oxcart stood at the door of the broken house. Song Dashan and Song He made several trips back and forth to move everything into the house. After they had carefully tidied up the broken house in the past few days, although it still looked shaky, it was still able to survive. Living.

The father and son moved all their things to the innermost room, where Song Chen and Song Wang lived.

"Dad, when you go to return the ox cart later, remember to take this with you." Song Chen took out something from the pile of things he bought, which was a small snack that he bought for five cents.

Song Dashan was slightly startled, "Then what do you want to eat?"

"I don't like to eat it. This was originally bought as a gift. We borrowed someone else's oxcart for a day. We can't show no sign at all. Doesn't Uncle Manjiang have a little grandson at home? He loves to eat."

Such snacks are not considered valuable in the town, but in the countryside, they are rarely seen once a year, let alone bought for children as snacks.

"You are thoughtful, I will come back as soon as I go." Song Dashan took the things in Song Chen's hands, jumped on the bullock cart and drove to Man Jiang's house.

Mrs. Song Wang at home started to prepare dinner. Seeing that the first meal she had prepared was to cook rice directly. Song Chen was still a little surprised. According to her mother's frugal temperament, she shouldn't have eaten the noodles first. Are things left behind?

"Mom, why are you thinking about cooking rice today?" Song Chen felt a little curious.

Mrs. Song Wang packed the washed rice water in the clay pots she had just bought, "If we don't keep this rice, we will eat it every few days. It will be a pity if it spoils by then."

The corners of Song Chen's eyes twitched, and her mother really planned to keep it forever, so she decided to eat it first because she was afraid it would go bad. In fact, things like rice can be stored for several months, and her mother said it would last until it went bad. That is, when worms appear, how long should they stay?

She is now extremely grateful that there are no refrigerators in this era, otherwise she might start eating this rice ten years later...
Song Wang also cooked two dishes. Although there was not enough oil and water, the best was the scrambled eggs, but this was also the best meal Song Chen had since arriving here.

For the first time, she ate a large bowl of rice, which made her walk around in the open space several times before she felt better.

The other three people were also very full and satisfied. This was the fullest and happiest meal they had had in so many years. At this moment, they felt that the best life in the world was not going to be like this.

It's just that they never expected that in the near future, looking back on the current days, it is really not a good thing.

After a good night's sleep, Song Chen still woke up early, but others were earlier than her. Song Dashan had already pinned the hatchet and was ready to go up the mountain. "Dad, you can stay at home today while my brother and I go up the mountain." Song Chen rubbed his blurred eyes and called to Song Dashan.

"Why are you still going up the mountain?" Song Dashan frowned, "We still have some money on hand, so don't go to Jiuling Mountain anymore. I'm just going up the mountain to carry back the wood I chopped before, and I'll find it again in two days. Two people come over to help reinforce the house."

"Of course we went up the mountain to look for medicinal materials. Didn't we say we only sold it for ten taels of silver? We had already spent six taels to buy this shabby house, and we bought so many things yesterday. The villagers must have some calculations in mind. Calculated according to ten taels of silver, the money we have has almost been spent."

"Then... then let's not spend money in the future. After the house is ready, I will go to the town to find work. I can't let you go up the mountain anymore." Song Dashan had not thought of this level before. Seeing Today they have to go up the mountain.

"I'll go with you."

"You can't go." Song Chen refused, "We just bought so many things yesterday, so you can rest assured that your mother will be home alone?"

Song Dashan was naturally worried.

If others didn't tell him, he would have to guard against the old Song family.

In the end, Song Chen and Song He went up the mountain together. This time their equipment was much better than before. Song He held a hatchet in his hand and felt much more at ease.

Song Chen basically regarded Jiuling Mountain as his own place. With the white tiger in charge, other beasts would not dare to cause trouble.

"Brother, we have found several precious medicinal materials in this area before. I think it is impossible to find them again. Today we will search separately and meet here in half an hour."

"This won't work. The mountain is so dangerous that we can't separate. I don't trust you. Besides, I don't know any medicinal materials." Song He refused to agree.

"But it's a waste of time to go on like this. We may not be able to find anything before dark. Everyone in the village is staring at us. Just focus on looking for the Dingfengcaoyejiaoteng and others. Don't touch the others you don't know. .”

Song Chen still wanted to find Bai Hu. If he continued to be with Song He, he might be scared to death.

"Beasts basically don't move around in broad daylight. We have to hurry up. The more medicinal materials we can find, the more money we can earn. We also have to build a new house, and the little money we have is simply not enough."

Song Chen moved it with emotion and reason, and Song He finally became loose.

He took off the hatchet from his body and said, "Take this, you must not go deep. You must meet here in half an hour. If you encounter anything, just climb up the tree, you know?"

Song Chen didn't need the hatchet, but in order to reassure Song He, she took it over and said, "Well, I remember, brother, you should be careful yourself."

Not long after going up the mountain, Song Chen persuaded Song He and the two of them to leave separately.

Song He saw that Song Chen did not go into the mountains, so he felt relieved and went aside to slowly start looking for the herbs he knew.

Song Chen was very ghostly. Seeing that Song He couldn't see her anymore, he hurriedly ran to the place where he met the white tiger before.

The deeper into the mountain, the quieter it becomes. Song Chen knows that this is the white tiger's aura that suppresses other animals. She is not afraid. She takes a leisurely look here and there, and digs up some good medicinal materials when she sees them. Into his own basket.

The white tiger who drank her spring water became more sensitive to the scent of her body. He felt Song Chen's appearance from a distance. The white tiger no longer lay down to sleep, but jumped up and ran towards Song Chen.

After a while, the white tiger saw Song Chen's figure, and it was so excited that it speeded up.

Song Chen could feel the white tiger's "menacing". Its fur seemed to be more shiny under the sun, and its speed seemed to be faster.

It seems that the spring water also played a big role in Bai Hu's body.

Not to mention, looking at the big guy now, I feel inexplicably cute...

Suddenly, an arrow shot through the air.

Song Chen watched blankly as the arrow shot towards the white tiger. He couldn't react for a moment. Didn't it mean that there was no one in Jiuling Mountain?Why is Orion still here?
While she was stunned, the white tiger had already dodged the arrow quickly, and there was another person beside Song Chen. He stretched out his long arm and put it around Song Chen's waist, taking her away. , flew to the big tree aside.

With her feet hanging in the air, Song Chen felt for the first time that she might be afraid of heights. Her heart was already beating wildly. She almost suspected that her heart would jump out of her throat if she continued like this.

Song Chen struggled a few times subconsciously.

The next second, a low but teasing voice appeared in his ear.

"Are you looking for death?"
