Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 140
The job of peeling toad oil is to do a little every day. This is a delicate job, so don't be too anxious.Besides, Yuxian and the others are free in the morning, and they still have to read books and attend lectures in the afternoon.Entering September, the weather is getting colder and colder. On the seventh day of September, it actually snowed.

"It's already snowing outside. This year's snow is not small. Well, the bigger the snow, the better." Yun Song went out in the morning and saw that there was a thick layer of snow outside, half a foot deep.

"It's snowing, just in time, and there's nothing to do outside. By the way, you didn't go to see the two little bears?" Way was worried about the livestock at home.

"Look, a while ago, I put a lot of bean stalks in their nests. It's okay, it's not too cold. The two little guys are sleeping together, and it seems that they are going to hibernate soon." Actually, the bear didn't It is not completely hibernating, but also depends on the environment.

"Then you have to watch carefully. If it's too cold, add some grass to their nests. Or cover them with straw curtains or something. Don't freeze them." Fang urged again cloud pine. "By the way, the ninth day is the day after tomorrow, and it's Yuxian's birthday. Let's see if we can get something delicious?"

"Well, okay, tomorrow I'll go to the town to buy some meat, let's make some dumplings to eat, and I haven't eaten dumplings for a while." Yun Song thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I've been very busy these days. It's true that there are days when I don't have any wraps. I have radishes and cabbage at home, and I can make any kind of stuffing. I'll buy more meat tomorrow. It's cold, and I can keep it. My child We've been tired for a while, and we haven't eaten anything good." Fang also agreed very much.

It's snowing, of course, it's a happy thing for the children, because they can build snowmen and have snowball fights again.Da Lang and the others put on thin cotton clothes and thin cotton pants, and then went out together crazy.

Yesterday morning, the toad oil was finally finished.This year, a total of more than 8000 female toads were caught. Since the toads at this time have not been hunted and killed on a large scale by humans, they can all grow for more than six or seven years.When Yuxian and the others caught the big ones, they released the small ones.Yesterday, I weighed all the toad oil, and it turned out to be more than 120 catties, which means an average of [-] catties is enough to pick up a catty of oil.This was simply impossible in the previous life, at least two hundred were needed, and those toads had only been bred for three years.

Yuxian put all the toad oil into a cloth bag and put it in a dry and ventilated place.Fang Yun had to help sell this thing when he went to the capital, and Fang Yun would go to the capital again a few years ago.There are still some ginseng at home, but Yuxian doesn't plan to sell it now.The ones that Fang Yun sold last time have already caused a sensation in the capital. If they still sell them this time, I am afraid that someone with a heart will follow the clues and find out the Tong family.In that case, it will cause disaster.Furthermore, Yuxian also wanted to keep those ginsengs, so in the future, Tongrentang will use them for medicine, so maybe they have to go outside to look for them first?So Yuxian put all the ginseng into several big boxes and stored them carefully. Anyway, they have been dried in the sun for easy storage.

Da Lang and the others came in from the outside, "Little sister, come out and see, we have built a huge snowman."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll put on a cotton jacket." In autumn, Fang made two sets of cotton jackets and trousers for each of the children in the family, one for the thin one and one for the thick one.Fearing that Yuxian was a girl who would not be able to resist the cold, Fang made her a rabbit fur beanie, which grew above Yuxian's knees, so that she would not be afraid of the cold.Yuxian put on a thin padded jacket and thin padded trousers, and then put on a rabbit fur beanie, making her look chubby.Yuxian is really afraid of the cold, and doesn't like to go out in winter. If it wasn't for the fact that she had built a snowman, she wouldn't go out.

Walking to the front yard, there was a snowman about the same height as Xiao Si in the middle of the yard.Two snowballs, one large and one small, are piled together to make the snowman's body and head.He put a broken straw hat on his head, then used a carrot as his nose, black beans as his eyes, and a piece of red pepper as his mouth.Finally, on the snowman's body, a broom was inserted as a hand, and a cute snowman would do.

Yuxian took a look at the snowman, and it was really cute. "Brother, you are really good at making such a big snowman. It's very beautiful."

"It's fine if you like it, don't stay at home all day, it's not cold outside, it's not good to always be at home." Da Lang looked at Yuxian with a smile. "Little sister, your birthday will be the day after tomorrow, what gift do you want?"

"The day after tomorrow is the ninth day of junior high? I forgot. I don't want anything. I don't need anything." Yuxian was so busy that she forgot that her birthday was coming soon, and besides, no one celebrated her birthday before. .

"Just now my uncle said that he would go to the town to buy meat and come back to make dumplings." Haoyu also went to Yuxian and told Yuxian the good news.

"That's not bad. I really want dumplings. By the way, my father is going to town tomorrow, so I have to ask him to go to the grain store and bring back the mung beans we ordered a while ago." Yuxian said ran back.

On the morning of the eighth day of September, Yun Song caught up with the ox cart and led Da Lang and Xiao San into the town together.After buying meat, the most important thing is to go to the grain store to get mung beans.When we arrived at the grain store, the clerk still knew Dalang, and he was the one who accompanied Yuxian to order mung beans. "Brother, our mung beans have been in for a while, but you haven't come. If the little girl hadn't paid the deposit, my shopkeeper would be in trouble." When ordering at that time, Yu Xian gave I paid the three taels of deposit from their shopkeeper, so as not to be robbed by others.

"How can it be? Now that the deposit has been paid, we will come. People have to be trustworthy. In this way, you can help us find a car, and we can take the mung beans back together. At that time, we ordered a thousand catties of mung beans. , right?" Da Lang said with a smile, Yuxian still wanted to use the mung beans to make some money.

"Yes, it's a thousand catties. We have a car in our store. You can just pay for the car." When the waiter saw that Da Lang came to pick up the goods, he was naturally very happy.

"Okay, then put three hundred catties on our car, and put the rest on your car. Take me to look at the mung beans first, and I have to inspect the goods." Da Lang heard this, so he didn't have to look for a car again. Just in time, I proposed to inspect the goods.

"Little brother, please follow me." The assistant led the three of them to the warehouse, just as the shopkeeper was there, took out the key, and opened the door of the warehouse.A few people went in, and there were several bags piled up on the side. The shopkeeper led them to the front of those bags, and unfastened the mouth of one of the bags, "Look at the mung beans, they are definitely new this year."

Da Lang grabbed a handful of mung beans and looked at them. The navel of the mung beans was white, so he nodded. "Well, it's this year's." Chen's mung beans, the umbilicus is yellow.This is what Yuxian taught him.Da Lang untied another bag and grabbed a handful. It was the same as before, and the quality was good, with not many broken beans. "Shopkeeper, find someone to make a weighing, I want all these mung beans."

"Okay, Xiao Luzi, find someone to weigh you." The shopkeeper hurriedly called for someone.So, a few guys came in and were busy weighing mung beans.Eleven bags of mung beans, a total of 480 catties, and [-] Wen per catty, totaling [-] Wen.Dalang took out three and a half taels of silver, and another one hundred Wen, and gave them to the shopkeeper together. "Trouble shopkeeper, use the car in your shop to send us to Yanjiang Village."

"Okay, no problem, the way, set up the car, and deliver the goods." The shopkeeper happily called the buddy to set up the car, and usually sent it from the town to Yanjiang Village, the fare was only seventy or eighty yuan.Da Lang gave [-] Wen, and Mung Bean gave [-] Wen, which was much more than normal. Could he be unhappy?
The guys were busy moving the mung beans out. There were only three bags in Tong's car, and the rest were put in the car behind.Tong Yunsong drove the carriage all the way home.When they arrived at Yanjiang Village, many villagers saw it and couldn't help guessing what the Tong family was doing.Some time ago, many jars were taken away from Tong's house, and people in the village talked about it.

When we arrived at Tong's house, the man who followed the car helped move all the mung beans into the yard.Yuxian ran out to take a look, and knew that the mung beans she had ordered had arrived. "Brother, have you inspected the goods? How is it?"

"It's pretty good, there aren't many broken beans. But, little girl, are you sure you can buy so many mung beans?" To be honest, Da Lang was still a little uncertain, but thinking about it, my little girl should be sure.

"It's okay, brother, don't worry. By the way, have you ordered the big tank we want with the place that sells tanks?" What Yuxian is dissatisfied with in this world is that there is no plastic here, and many things are really easy to use. is inconvenient.

"It's settled. They said that there are not many goods today, and you have to get the eye on the bottom. They have to use tools to get it. You don't know. When I said that the eye was going to be on the bottom, the person who sold the tank Looking at the look in my eyes, I thought he had heard it wrong. Later I said it had a special purpose, so I didn’t look at me that way.” Da Lang thought it was funny when he thought of the situation at that time.That's right, when most people buy tanks, they hope that the tank will be as strong as possible, but their family is lucky, they have to make a hole in the tank, it's not strange.

"Hahaha, brother, it's so funny." Yuxian couldn't help laughing when she thought of that situation.

At this time, Yun Song had already put all the mung beans in the granary, just in time to see his brother and sister talking and laughing there. "What are you laughing at? Yuxian, you get so many mung beans, how many bean sprouts will you grow this year? Can this be sold?"

"It's okay, Dad, let's try it and we'll find out. The key is that we must stock up on the mung beans now, or I'm afraid there won't be any mung beans available." If you want to get mung beans back, other people will know, and you won't be able to get those mung beans for a while.

"Don't worry, Dad, you can do things. You can do whatever you want. When you use Dad, you don't say anything. You have the final say on making money." Yun Song was very reassuring to Yu Xian.
