Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 57 Trouble digging a ditch

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao sighing like a young adult, Jiang Wei couldn't help but be amused: "Why are you sighing when you are young? You don't have to worry about money. You won't build a house until autumn. You will definitely have enough money by then."

Jiang Xiaoxiao, however, doesn't think so much. When autumn comes and the weather cools down, there won't be as many people buying the ice cream and ice cream, so they can only be sold for more than a month at most.

They can earn more than one tael of silver every day by delivering it to Yuelai Restaurant. Plus the ice cream they usually sell on the street, they can only earn two taels of silver at most at the end of the day.

After more than a month, I can earn seventy taels of silver, which is incredible.

Moreover, after building the house, we need to purchase various wooden furniture, prepare food and charcoal for the winter, and the money is still far from enough.

"How about...Mom, let's sell that ginseng?" Jiang Xiaoxiao wrinkled her face and glanced in the direction of Yuelai Restaurant.

Someone is holding a banquet in a restaurant, maybe he is also a wealthy owner.

By selling this ginseng, all these problems will be solved.

"No." Jiang Wei refused without thinking, "That's your thing, you can't just sell it."

Jiang Xiaoxiao pouted: "But it's useless if I keep that ginseng."

"Who says it's useless? This kind of old stuff can save lives at critical moments. If you sell it, it will be gone." Jiang Weidao.

In her philosophy, money is something external to the body. No matter how rich she is, there are some things she cannot buy.

Especially precious supplements like ginseng are very rare, and they are precious things that even money cannot buy!
  "Don't worry, we won't worry about it until we don't have enough money." Before Jiang finished speaking, he took her to the pork stall and bought two kilograms of pork and three kilograms of pork bones in one go.

Although we have deer meat at home, this stuff is very nourishing to the body. You only need to eat it once a day. You can’t eat it often. After all, it will not nourish the body.

Don't worry about pork. Children are growing, so it's best to buy more pork bones and make some soup.

"Two kilograms of pork costs seventy cents, and three kilograms of pork bones costs thirty cents."

What?
  Jiang Xiaoxiao was shocked by the price. When did the price of pork become so high? !

Wasn't it originally only twenty-five cents per catty, but now it has increased to thirty-five cents per catty!

Jiang Wei didn't care, so he readily paid a hundred coins, and then left with the sluggish Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart was bleeding.

But thinking back to when I went to the grain store before, even the price of grain had increased, so the price increase of pork was also reasonable.

The drought is severe and cruel. The harvests of the villages around Yong'an Town this year are in doubt. Everyone is insecure. They are afraid that there will be no food to eat in winter, so they start to hoard food crazily, which causes the price of food to rise again and again...

When he got home, Jiang Wei started washing the pots and making ice cream and ice cream.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was particularly motivated this time. She carried a pile of dry firewood to the kitchen with her little arms and legs, helping to light the fire, add water, and beat eggs. Then she took the initiative to ask Jiang Wei for the egg beater and started beating cream like crazy...

She needs to do more so she can make more money!

Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing as he watched from the side. It's good for a little girl to be motivated, as long as she doesn't get tired.

However, when the mother and daughter had just finished making the first pot of ice cream, there was a sudden shouting outside the hospital.

"Xiao Xiaoniang, are you at home?" Jiang Wei put a whole pot of ice cream into the space. When he came out, he saw it was Qiu Lianniang's eldest son, Zhao Tiezhu, and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Tiezhu is fourteen years old this year. He went up the mountain to help dig ditches today. He must have just run down the mountain. His face was covered with sweat and he was breathing heavily: "Something happened. Uncle Li Zheng asked you to go to the mountain." .”

"What happened?" Jiang Wei frowned, "What happened?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was whipping butter in the kitchen, immediately put down what he was holding and ran out to take a look.

Today is the first day of trench digging. How could something happen?
  Jiang Wei didn't dare to delay, so he packed up casually and followed Zhao Tiezhu up the mountain.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw this and hurriedly followed behind with her short legs.

Zhao Tiezhu looked back at her and was about to say, "Sister Xiaoxiao, go home and wait", but the next second he saw Jiang Wei reaching out to pick the person up and stepping up the mountain.

The five-year-old girl hugged her mother's neck, quiet and well-behaved. Zhao Tiezhu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Jiang Wei walked very fast. Zhao Tiezhu helped the family with farm work all day long. When he had nothing to do, he went all over the mountains and fields looking for wild vegetables and catching crickets. At this moment, he could not keep up with Jiang Wei's pace.

He wiped the sweat from his head and pointed in a direction ahead, "Everyone is right there."

Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao looked together and saw that a long trench, about three feet deep, had been dug in the upper half of the mountain near the water source.

But for some unknown reason, when they were halfway through digging, everyone stopped there with haggard faces, and tools such as hoes and iron catalpas were thrown aside.

As soon as Li Zheng raised his head, he saw Jiang Wei. As if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Xiao Xiaoniang, you are finally here. Come and take a look. What should we do? Let's dig according to the picture you gave us." Ditch, there is a big stone buried in the ground here..."

When they got closer, Jiang Wei could clearly see the huge boulders buried in the deep pit. The ditch was three feet deep, not too shallow, but it was completely blocked by the huge boulders.

"What can we do?" Li Zheng scratched his head anxiously, "This rock is too big. We have tried many methods but can't dig it out. If we take a detour, there will be trees and gravel slopes next to it..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was let down and stepped forward to take a look.

A very large stone that cannot be moved by human power alone!
  No wonder everyone is helpless. In modern times, such a large stone needs to be chipped into small pieces with the help of mechanical equipment, and then can be dug away with an excavator.

"Humph, I just said that digging trenches is unreliable!"

The people who didn't agree with this from the beginning became more and more impatient, threw their hoe on the ground, and complained dissatisfiedly, "I wasted a day in vain, and I spent a lot of time, and finally dug out a stone. This Please be happy! A woman with long hair and short knowledge knows nothing, and she insists on giving blind orders!"

Following this man's words, several people gradually looked at Jiang Wei with eyes full of blame.

Facing those reproachful looks, Jiang Weixian rarely spoke.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glared at the speaker angrily.

In ancient times, it was indeed not easy to dig ditches by manpower, and there would be a lot of trouble. However, the route given by her mother was completely fine. It was just bad luck that the big rocks blocked the road this time. This group of people could not completely It’s her mother’s fault…

"Okay, Li Dayong, please stop talking. Xiao Xiaoniang is not doing this for the sake of our village." Zhao Youcai spoke next to him.

"That's right, Li Dayong, you're fine, don't blame me! We have a well at home and there is no shortage of water at all. Xiao Xiaoniang helped us find the water source, and also helped us draw the route and dig ditches. She has done enough, and she can't even encounter rocks blocking the road. Blame her!" Some people also stood up to defend Jiang Wei.

"I have a way to get rid of the stone." At this time, Jiang Wei spoke lightly.
