The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 33 So that’s it
Pomegranate was tired all day, so she lay in bed at night and couldn't fall asleep for a while. The events of today's hike up the mountain flashed through her mind frame by frame, and she encountered and saw whom--

Although it was only half a tree root, it was no ordinary tree root.

Precisely because it was only half a tree root, she had to think more about it.

Well, she likes to think more about everything.

But, seriously, this is really weird, right?
Without knowing what the roots of the tree can do, who would knock them down the mountain like she did when they had nothing to do? Moreover, she had hidden it tightly with kudzu vines. If she hadn't been intentional, who would have found it by chance?
But there were a lot of people going up the mountain today, and she also met someone looking for bamboo rats. She heard that word had spread about Jishang Datong Warehouse collecting game, and they all wanted to take advantage of this to make some money. Therefore, before All things considered, Pomegranate really couldn't say who was suspicious.

After half a thought, she couldn't figure out what to do, even though she was dozing off, Pomegranate turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

It was getting dark, and the big roosters from various houses in the village competed with each other to sing their songs, which were particularly loud.

There was also a noise in a house at the south end of the village near the foot of the mountain.

After a moment, the courtyard door opened, and a figure walked out of the door carrying a long thing on his back, walking towards the entrance of the village with one step at a time.

The early mornings in autumn and winter were extremely cold and foggy, making it difficult to see clearly within a radius of one foot. It was very scary to walk on this road alone.

But he was lame and carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff on his back, so he couldn't walk fast even if he wanted to.

Fortunately, we were not halfway through the journey, and some people from the villages along the road were on the official road, so we were no longer so scared.

All the way into Dafengji, the noisy morning market was already extremely lively. Chen Qicai went straight to the Datong Warehouse at the end without looking around.

Datong Warehouse was a place where people were busy coming in and out, so Chen Qicai went in cautiously.

As soon as I entered Datong Warehouse, I met a clerk coming out. Seeing that he looked familiar, I couldn't help but say hello, "Is it you? Did you catch a bamboo rat and bring it to him?"

There are so many people coming and going at Datong Warehouse every day. Even though the clerk has a good memory, he can't always remember them so clearly. The main reason is that Chen Qicai is a lame and has a slight hunchback. His features are so conspicuous that he can remember them even if he doesn't want to.

When Chen Qicai saw that it was the guy he had talked to that day, he also smiled shyly, "Brother! I didn't catch the bamboo rat, but I dug something good in the mountain. Let's see if your shopkeeper is Do you want to accept this too?"

As he said this, the clerk was also curious and looked behind him, "What good stuff? Digging it? Let me take a look!"

Chen Qicai didn't hide it, so he took off the things he was carrying on his back, put them on the ground, and then uncovered the turf covering them.

The man looked at it carefully, wondering what kind of good thing it was. But when he saw it clearly, he was dumbfounded, "Isn't this a tree root? What kind of good thing is this? You bamboo rats can't catch it, so you just dig up some tree roots to fool people." ah?"

He was also angry as he spoke, thinking that this man was having fun, so he couldn't help but push Chen Qicai out and leave here. Their warehouse was busy at the moment and had no time to play with others. Chen Qicai was also dumbfounded. How could it not be a good thing? If the warehouse doesn't accept the tree roots, what will the pomegranate siblings do with them?
That's right, the Shiliu brothers and sisters came to Dafengji early in the morning carrying a backpack on their backs. The backpacks were still well covered. Chen Qicai also happened to be walking up to Dafengji that day. He happened to be right behind them and saw that the backpacks were tightly covered. , so he kept an eye out and followed them all the way.

I saw with my own eyes that the brother and sister entered the Chase Warehouse. After a while, they came out and were riding in the Chase Warehouse's mule cart!
He was curious about how the brother and sister got to know each other at Datong Warehouse, so he went in to ask the clerk and found out that Datong Warehouse had recently been collecting game, including pheasants, bamboo chickens, bamboo rats, and everything else. The clerk said, "Well, a brother and sister were here just now." The one selling bamboo rats!
When he heard about this, he was excited. After autumn, his mother fell ill. It didn't take more than half a month, and it cost a lot of money to get medicine. He came to Jishang today to get medicine for her. Yes, my family's money has bottomed out. Not to mention how many more medicines I can still buy, even during the New Year, I am worried.

Now that he heard that Datong Warehouse was collecting game meat, he couldn't let this opportunity pass him by!
Therefore, Chen Qicai ran up the mountain after returning to the village. Unfortunately, after running all afternoon, he couldn't even find a bamboo rat, let alone a pheasant.

He thought about it all night and came up with a good idea. Since the Pomegranate brothers and sisters could catch bamboo rats, wouldn't he know where to catch bamboo rats if he followed them?
So, early the next morning, Chen Qicai secretly paid attention to the movements outside the hospital. He saw the pomegranate sister and brother going up the mountain with his own eyes, so he left the hatchet and pretended to collect firewood and went up the mountain.

Don't tell me, these siblings are like two monkeys, so he took a step too slow and lost both of them. He didn't know which mountain the siblings went to. He wandered around in the mountains for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone. , and finally had to go down the mountain.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the girl Pomegranate carrying a tree root on her back.

root?

Why not catch bamboo rats and dig up tree roots?
He wouldn't think like others who dug up tree roots to use as firewood. Isn't it good to collect firewood? The roots of this tree are wet. How heavy is it? Doesn't it take a lot of effort?
The Pomegranate brothers and sisters had caught bamboo rats and sold them for money. They definitely wouldn't do such a wasteful thing. They must have heard the boss of Datong Warehouse tell them to harvest the roots of this tree!
Therefore, he followed closely in the afternoon and finally saw what the siblings were digging. It turned out that they were digging the roots under the kudzu vine!
While the siblings were carrying half of the tree root down the mountain, he hurriedly carried the remaining half of the tree root down the mountain secretly, fearing that he would be discovered all the way.

But after all the effort he put into it, it turned out not to be a good thing at all? The National People's Congress Currency Warehouse won't accept it at all?

Chen Qicai was extremely disappointed. He also wanted to talk to the clerk and ask him to ask the shopkeeper to take a look. What if the shopkeeper wanted to take it away but the shopkeeper didn't know?
Unfortunately, the waiter didn't allow him to say anything more, so he drove him out with his body and tree roots.

Outside Datong Warehouse, Chen Qicai looked at the heavy tree root. He also had a hard time carrying it. He had exhausted all his strength to carry it. Now he was left here like this. He was unwilling to accept it!

Can you carry it home again? As firewood? He's not that stupid!
He sighed and was about to leave the tree roots.

"Hey? Brother, do you want to sell this kudzu root?"

A voice sounded next to him, and Chen Qicai looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing cotton silk.

Kudzu? Sell?

His heart skipped a beat, and he reacted quickly, "Sell! Sir, do you accept this kudzu and kudzu root?"

It turns out that the root of this kudzu is called kudzu root? Someone actually took it! He just said, why would he waste his efforts!
