After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous

Chapter 64 Why is it you?

Chunniang hesitated and refused to open the door: "My husband is not at home, so I'm afraid it won't be convenient for you to come in."

The visitor smiled and said: "You are Sister Jiang San, right? We are from Jinxiu Cloth Village in Simen Town. I heard that you have two big gourds at home and wanted to see their true appearance. You see, we two brothers have traveled dozens of miles." , can you let us take a look."

Ying Bao poked his head out from behind A Niang, pulled A Niang and whispered: "Let them come in."

 Perhaps these two are big patrons.

Chunniang touched her daughter’s head and stepped forward to open the bamboo fence door.

The two of them walked in and raised their hands to Chun Niang: "Excuse me."

Chunniang did not let them enter the house, but brought the big gourd herself and placed it on the stone slab in the middle of the yard for them to see.

The two people admired the big gourd, looked at each other, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if this gourd can be sold?"

Yingbao was the first to answer: "Of course I'm selling it, but if the price isn't right, I won't sell it."

Chunniang nodded, "There are already several people who want to buy this gourd in my house. I wonder how much money Mr. Lang can give?"

 One person asked: "How much do you want to sell?"

Chunniang is speechless.

She didn’t know how much the gourd could be sold for.

Yingbao also asked: "Do you give us as much as we say?"

The man choked, then laughed loudly, "You're such a funny little girl."

Another person said: "We sincerely want to buy it, but it is not worthwhile if it exceeds thirty taels."

Ying Bao smiled and said, "Then thirty taels."

She has a lot of these things in her cave, and selling one for thirty taels is already a sky-high price. She can't be too greedy, or she will be struck by lightning if she is greedy.

The two of them were also happy. They took out three ingots of silver and put them on the small table under the apple tree.

He thought that the peasants did not know the silver ingot, so he pointed out the printing on the inside of the silver ingot to Chun Niang: "The official office of Luzhou Prefecture made silver, ten taels. Do you see it?"

Chunniang nodded: "I saw it."

The two of them picked up the gourd and were about to leave. Yingbao stopped them and said, "Take out the seeds first and then you can take them away."

The man laughed and said, "You little girl is really a ghost. If there are no seeds in the gourd, even ten taels are not worth it."

 After saying that, he quickly walked out of the yard, carefully placed the gourd on the mule cart, and the two of them jumped on the cart, whipped their whips, and drove away from the small village quickly.

Yingbao pursed her lips and chuckled, touched the silver and muttered: "If I didn't say this, you would still feel that you were at a loss. Humph."

But Chun Niang was regretting beside her, "Yeah, why did you forget to dig out the seeds first?" Even a few seeds will do. It would be great to plant some at home.

Ying Bao: "Isn't there a big gourd on the south slope? Let's just dig out the seeds of that gourd and plant them."

No matter how bad it is, she still has a lot of caves.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Chun Niang carried the money back to the main room and asked her daughter, “Do you keep the money or do you keep it for you?”

"Let it go where you are." I still have more than forty taels in my cave, and these thirty taels should be kept safely by my parents.

Jiang Sanlang came back in the evening and was stunned when he heard that his gourds had been sold for thirty taels. "Who bought it?"

“It’s said to be a cloth shop on the other side of the four gates.” Chun Niang told Xianggong everything about today. "Let's dig out the gourd seeds on the south **** and plant some first. Look..."

"Okay! Tomorrow I will go to the south **** to cut out the gourd seeds." Since this thing is so valuable, it is better to plant some at home. If big gourds can grow, it will be another income.

 As a result, before I even left home the next day, the clan leader and village chief came to visit me.

“Sanlang, I heard that you sold the sacred gourd in our village?” Jiang Sanlang:…

How come his gourds belong to the village?

Chief Chen Fu looked distressed: "Sanlang, that is the sacred object of our village. Why do you sell it just as you say? Alas, what about the other one? You can't sell it anymore."

He hasn’t touched a gourd for a day, and his waist is sore that it’s difficult to walk, and Lao Han’s legs are throbbing and painful.

Just as Jiang Sanlang was about to speak, he heard Chen Sanyou say: "Sanlang, why don't you give the seeds of the other gourd to the people in our village? It's not free. See how much you charge, and we'll pay for it."

Chen Sanyou knew that he and others could not stop Jiang Sanlang from selling gourds, but it was not too much to let him leave some seeds.

Jiang Sanlang thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, wait until I take out the seeds from the gourd."

So Jiang Sanlang went to the south **** to carry the big gourd back, broke a hole in the top, and took out the seeds inside with great effort.

 Clean the flesh and peel out a total of more than 30 plump seeds.

While he was removing the meat, more than a dozen villagers were surrounding him. Even the clan leader and the village chief sat on a low stool and watched.

There are a total of twenty-eight households in Dongchen Village. That is the number of households listed in the household registration, but there are still many households that are separated but not yet divided. If we really count, there are actually about forty single-family households in the village.

There are only more than thirty seeds in total. How can they be distributed to each household?

"Otherwise, let's divide it according to household registration." Muramasa Chen Sanyou waved his hand, "Each household will get one pill."

Jiang Sanlang had no objection, but how to collect the money became a problem.

He would definitely not be happy if he took in too many villagers, and it would be difficult for him to behave in the village in the future. After all, the villagers could help him a lot.

For things like building houses and digging ponds, the family didn’t pay a penny, but they only provided them with two meals a day.

If there is less, it is better to give them away. They are all fellow villagers, just a little seed. If they can't be planted, you can't blame yourself.

Yingbao saw this scene when she came back from school. There were many people crowded in her yard, and everyone craned their necks to look towards the middle of the yard.

Squeezing in and taking a look, there was a small handful of gourd seeds on the small table, and several senior men were talking about something with their heads bent.

Finally, Jiang Sanlang said: "Okay, then it's ten cents a piece, but whether you can plant it or not depends on your luck."

He originally wanted to give it away for free, but the clan leader and Muramasa disagreed, so Jiang Sanlang set a price that was neither high nor low.

Ten cents is not a small amount in the eyes of the villagers, but it is still affordable.

Everyone readily agreed, even Aunt Wang, who was always very cautious, didn't say anything, because her family could also get one, while the three sons of Chen Cun's main family, who all lived in separate households, could only get one. Gourd seeds.

Even the richest clan leader in the village, the Chen family, only has one. You must know that this is a divine gourd seed.

  Hey, there is no harm without comparison. Aunt Wang actually felt that she had never been in a better mood.

Not long after the gourd seeds were distributed, someone else came to buy a gourd. Jiang Sanlang sold the empty gourd and got twenty taels.

Many villagers gathered around to watch this, and their hearts suddenly became very excited. They wanted to go home and plant the gourd seeds right away.

But now it is the beginning of autumn, and it is not the season for planting gourds. Everyone can only suppress their eagerness to be excited, carefully collect the gourd seeds, and just hope that next spring will come soon.

Just after the Ghost Festival in July, Jiang Erlang was preparing to go to the south **** to collect golden ears. When he opened the courtyard door, he suddenly saw a woman with disheveled hair standing outside the courtyard door.

Jiang Erlang was startled, and after taking a closer look, his face instantly darkened, "Why is it you? What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
