Reborn back to 1986

Chapter 13 Windfall
"Go and have a look first, and go back later." Li Yan didn't explain much, just walked forward on the path made of sand and gravel.

The little San'er, who was used to obeying, didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that he was about to arrive at the place, he saw Cui Wenwu among them, and then suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out that you saw your uncle coming, so you didn't say it earlier. , I thought what was going on." The fact that Li Yan was Cui Wenwu's follower since she was a child, everyone in the castle knows it.

Cui Wenwu saw Li Yan straighten up and put down the pick in his hand, and said: "Swallow is over from school, come, come and see our results for the day." He said, leading her to look in a basket.

Li Yanmo counted, and her old uncle encouraged twelve half-children who were about his age, who dropped out of school halfway and had nothing to do at home.Half of them are in the same fortress, and the other adjoining teams either have a good relationship or have relatives, in short, they are all members of the circle.

These boys are always asking for money at home, and they often don’t listen to scolding and beating masters. Once they hear that digging roots can make so much money, they can spend it as they want without looking at their parents’ faces. That's really working hard one by one.Everyone's baskets are almost full, which is half an afternoon's worth. In the morning, they were spread out in pieces on the river loop to dry.

According to the result of Li Yan and Cui Wenwu's discussion, they didn't tell these boys the truth, because they were afraid that they wouldn't trust the words of an eight-year-old girl.Only in the name of Cui Wenwu, he said that a friend of his wanted to buy these medicinal materials.Relatively speaking, it is more convincing.Although he is only 17 years old, in the eyes of these half-children, he still has a relatively high status.

Li Yan was very happy when she saw that the results were good, so she left with Xiao San'er without staying for a while in order not to waste time.

On the way back, Xiao San'er really couldn't hold back anymore, so she took two quick steps and grabbed Li Yan's sleeve: "Yan'er, Yan'er, wait a moment." As long as she speaks her voice, there must be something to ask, and Li Yan Yan has already figured out the rules, so she just stopped walking with a sullen face holding back a smile, and asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Xiao San'er approached with a shy face, and said, "Yan'er, just now your uncle dug up the roots of the hairy bones to sell them for money? How much can you sell for that thing, tell me?"

"It's okay to tell you, but you have to keep it a secret, even your sister and the others can't tell." In fact, Li Yan didn't intend to hide it from her at all, so she dragged her over.

"Okay, I promise not to say."

Li Yan said with satisfaction: "My old uncle is a buddy who collects medicinal materials. The roots of Maoguduo flowers can be sold for [-] cents per catty. He and his people just started digging today. I just went over to see them How's the digging going?"

"Really? Then I'll go digging too." After hearing this, Xiao San'er's eyes lit up, and she discussed with Li Yan: "Yan'er, why don't you go too? Let's dig together as a companion and sell money to buy good things to eat. .”

"That's okay, let's dig up the mountain after finishing the homework. The soft soil there can save some energy." Li Yan had already thought about it, and used the time after school and the May Day holiday to dig some medicinal roots. Even if she is young and can't dig too much, it is not a problem to add up to three or four hundred catties. After drying, she can sell it for nearly 100 yuan. Don't underestimate this money, it can be bought in this day and age. There are a lot of things, and many adults can't earn this money for a month.

"Well, let's do our homework quickly, and then I will go to your house to find you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

The two children got on the ridge of the dirt road, and the left and right paths parted ways, and each went home to prepare.

Needless to say, Li Yan's speed, but Xiao San'er finished all three homeworks in only 10 minutes, and came over at an extraordinary speed.

Li Yan saw that she was carrying the hoe in a small basket, as if she didn't feel the weight at all, and she sighed in her heart that the power of money is really leveraged!
When Wu Zhilan heard that Li Yan was going up the mountain, she specially found cloth strips to tie up the corners of her trousers, and asked her to change into a pair of rubber water shoes before letting her go.Li Yan knew that she was worried about the long worms on the mountain, so as to prevent accidentally stepping on the long worms and being bitten.The old man is strict, but he is always the most thoughtful when encountering such things.

The small earth mountain they are going to is right in front of the house, and it takes less than two or three minutes to walk there.Follow the narrow path up the mountain until you reach the top of the hill.Looking at the slightly flat terrain, there are a lot of hairy flowers mixed with weeds.As the breeze blows, the purple fluffy buds sway gently, as if they are waving to them.

Without saying a word, Xiao San'er put down the little basket and started digging the roots, his eyes were as bright as the stars.

Li Yan was not in a hurry, she found a big rock and sat down.Looking down from the top of the mountain, the eyes are full of emerald green. At the foot of the mountain are fields with vertical paths, and in the distance are a few thatched and tile houses.With the breeze blowing on my face, I just feel refreshed.

"Yanzi, Zhou Meng is where you are, why don't you dig quickly?"

"Okay, I'm here." Li Yan glanced back from the corner of her eyes inadvertently, and then froze in the next second.

Li Yan's eyes fell on a half-dead oak tree not far from them. There was a white thing lying there between the two branches. When he walked closer, he could see that it looked like the back of a monkey's head. Spoon.

She had a sudden idea and called out unconsciously: "Hericium erinaceus, this must be Hericium erinaceus." She had only heard about this thing before, but had never seen it with her own eyes, so it should be the shape.

Xiao San'er also came over at this time, and without waiting for Li Yan to say anything, he grabbed the tree trunk and got the mushroom off, holding it in his hand and looking at it over and over again, "Swallow, I heard that this mushroom is very expensive, do you think it is worth it?" 100 yuan?"

At that time, in the minds of eight-year-old children, 100 yuan was equivalent to a huge sum of money.Although Li Yan looks as big as her on the outside, but the inner flesh has been changed a long time ago, "Pu Chi" happy: "You just want to be beautiful, this size is not bad if you can sell it for five or ten yuan. Is it ginseng?"

"What's wrong with the ginseng, I'll dig it out and show you someday." Xiao San'er straightened his neck unconvinced.

This is too much to say, no one would have guessed that not long after, someone in the castle dug up treasures on this inconspicuous hill, and sold them for a good price.

Li Yan had heard the legend that Hericium erinaceus grows in pairs, so she asked Xiao Saner to search around to see if there were any more on the surrounding oak trees.Sure enough, Hericium erinaceus was found again less than 100 meters away.

"Yan'er, Yan'er, can you give me this one?" The two pieces of white mushrooms put together are very attractive, making her greedy.

Li Yan thought for a while before saying: "San'er, don't ask for it first, I want to send these two pieces of mushrooms to the restaurant to see if anyone wants them?"

"Oh, that's fine, I don't want it anymore." The child couldn't hide his emotions, and his bright little eyes suddenly dimmed.With a shake of his head, he lost all energy.
