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

Chapter 40 Never thought of hiding it
But Father Li didn't worry. Li Jifu's family and Li Jigui's family came back in two days. They were driven back by their parents' village.

No, the fact that kudzu root can be sold for money is now known to eight villages in ten miles. They are not the only ones in Dafeng Village where the natal family of the Jiang family and Huang family is located. Other families also want to dig kudzu root. How can they be allowed to marry outside the family? The woman comes back to help share a share of the pie? You know, the more manpower you have, the more kudzu roots you need to dig out!

In this way, Li Jifu and Li Jigui continued to build houses honestly.

Father Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Wu also breathed a sigh of relief. She could no longer make money by digging kudzu roots, and she didn’t want to watch the three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses dig kudzu roots to make money.

But as for the second house, the pomegranate brother and sister dug so many kudzu roots, and they sold them for five cents this time, right?
You said that this child of Pomegranate didn't mention this matter earlier. He dug first and dug three days longer than them. At that time, wasn't he able to dig as much as he wanted?

Also, if the tribe had not built a house for the second son and the others, why would the digging of kudzu root be told to the tribe and the village?
Otherwise, if every household in the village is sold for at least one penny this time, it should all belong to them. Even if four rooms are divided equally, how much can one room be divided into?
Mrs. Wu sighed quietly. This time they only made three and a half silver coins. Plus the two coins borrowed by her elders, it was not enough to host the banquet. She also borrowed two coins from her parents' family, and she didn't know when she would be able to pay them back. Woolen cloth.

In villages from ten miles to eight, there is a lot of excitement about digging up kudzu and selling it for money. Often, drug dealers collect cart after cart of kudzu and have people process it while they collect it. In this way, it does not take up space and cannot be loaded on cargo ships.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were a lot of kudzu roots and the quality was so good, he wouldn't have to worry about selling more if he took some back.

Chang Pharmacist was busy collecting kudzu roots in the warehouse, and villagers came in an endless stream every day. Ding Fuguang looked at it, his eyes slightly deepening.

There are no villagers from Xiahe Village selling kudzu now, but in the first two days, there were still some, almost in every household. But among those names, there were many people named Li, but none of them were named Li Jihe. of.

In other words, the Shiliu family was the first to dig up kudzu root, and even sent a letter to the villagers that kudzu root could be sold for money, but their family did not come to sell kudzu root!

Could it be possible that it was sold out on the first day without him knowing? No more digging after that?
He thought this was unlikely. He could only say that the Pomegranate family had never sold kudzu root at all.

But then, what is the point of digging kudzu?
This girl really surprised him.

Ding Fuguang was so curious that he wished he could send his cousin to Xiahe Village to find out more.

But after thinking about it, I still held back, it was inappropriate.

He thought for a long time and decided to have some connections with the Shiliu family so that he could better consider the feasibility of this marriage.

So, on this day, Li Jihe, who was busy building a house, was approached by someone.

At present, the house is more than half completed. If we work harder, the beams and tiles will be put up in less than ten days. Once the tiles are built, the house will be ready.

Li Jihe was very anxious and wished he could hold on tighter. It was already the winter months and the weather was getting colder. He would feel bad about having his people work in the cold wind.

Just as he was eager to get some work done, Li Jihe suddenly heard someone looking for him. Li Jihe was also puzzled. He apologized when he saw the person. His place was a mess and he couldn't entertain people easily.

The person who came was a man of medium height, wearing a fine cotton-padded jacket, and his family seemed to be well-to-do. He smiled and waved his hand, saying it was okay, and then expressed his intention to come. "I'm from Qianwang Village, just call me Wang Sangui! My family is going to marry my daughter next year, and I want to give her some dowry. I've heard people say that your carpentry work is good and detailed, so I came here to find you. coming!"

When Li Jihe heard that business was coming to his door, he should have been happy, but he was not available right now, so he could only apologize.

Unexpectedly, the other party said: "My daughter is getting married next autumn. It's too late for you to wait until the house is completed before buying my furniture! I am just a daughter, and I want to buy her the best dowry furniture. I heard that you are good , I’ll let you do it with confidence!”

Seeing that the other party trusted him so much, Li Jihe felt warm in his heart. A craftsman, how could he not be happy that others recognized his craftsmanship?

Thinking that he would build the house next autumn and not take on any other jobs after that, he would be able to do it anyway, so he nodded and agreed.

"Brother, what do you want to make? A complete set or just a few types? In addition, will you provide the wood yourself, or will you give it all to me? If you give it to me all together, what kind of wood do you plan to use? furniture?"

Buying furniture for someone is a big deal, and Li Jihe has always wanted to know everything about it. Only by asking the other person's requirements clearly can he know more about it.

When Wang Sangui saw that the house building was in full swing and Li Jihe came running over just now because he was very busy, he couldn't help but said: "Of course I want to build a complete set of furniture! This request can't be explained clearly at the moment. , I see that you are quite busy, and you won’t be able to do it for a while anyway. Why don’t you wait until your house is built, and I will discuss it with you in detail! I have decided that you will do the furniture work!”

Li Jihe heard the same thing. Some of his requests were very detailed, and he really couldn't finish talking for a while. If this person dragged him to finish talking, he would not listen, and it would delay his whole morning's work.

He immediately responded: "Sure! When my house is built, big brother, come back then, and let's sit down and talk slowly!"

After sending the people away, Li Jihe went back to work with more energy. After building the house, he would have a big job. Yes, he could earn some money by making a complete set of furniture!

After the kudzu pulp water settled down, a layer of powder was finally obtained under the wooden basin. Taking advantage of the two days of strong sunshine, Pomegranate divided the powder into small pieces, spread them with oil paper, and placed them in a bamboo dustpan. Drying on the banks of the Xishui River next to the homestead.

There are many tribesmen who help with the work at the homestead, and there are also villagers who are fetching water across the river. The movement of pomegranates is really hard to hide from others. The tribesmen look at the gray-white thing, which looks familiar, like sweet potato powder, but this year's harvest The sweet potatoes that are to be made into powder have been cooked a long time ago, but they are definitely not made from sweet potatoes. They also didn’t see their sister-in-law and aunt carrying sweet potatoes from the old house, so they couldn’t help but be curious.

Regarding this, Pomegranate never thought that she could hide it from others, unless she didn't show off her powder.

Besides, she was dragging the kudzu roots to the river to wash them every day and borrowing a stone mill to grind them in the hay shed. How could she not attract attention?

If you see it, you will see it. If you know that her thing is related to Kudzu root, you will know it. It doesn't matter. This is not a secret recipe. She has no intention of hiding it.

The tribesmen were curious and asked casually, and received Li Jihe's answer.

"Pomegranate is messing around. You all know that I'm busy today. The kudzu in this house was dug by Pomegranate and his children. I originally asked them to go to the market with their uncles to sell it, but This kid didn't know how he thought of it. After pounding the kudzu root, he actually made the kind of flour we make with sweet potatoes! Tell me about it! Hey, this flour looks like sweet potato flour, but I don't know how to make it. You can’t eat it like sweet potato flour, wait two days to dry it, and you’ll know after making it and taking a look!”
