The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 278

[Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight of regret]

Their trip home was not a family visit, but a paid business trip. To put it bluntly, it is the welfare that the owner takes care of the people of Qingshan Village. The owner is benevolent and righteous, they can’t take their wages for nothing and do not work. There is no organization, and these people spontaneously help to harvest the medicinal materials. Although most of the people had never done this kind of work before, under the guidance of the steward sent by the Bai family, they soon did well.

Gu Xiao brought his granddaughter and his granddaughter’s senior brother to collect the medicinal materials. Weighing, recording, drying and storage. The price of medicinal materials just picked is relatively low; the price of medicinal materials after drying and some simple processing is relatively high. The people of Qingshan Village are industrious and simple, and it takes little effort to process the medicinal materials, and they can sell more money. Everyone chooses to deal with it and then sell it.

The weather this year is good, the soil in the valley is fertile, and the seeds of the medicinal materials are selected from the space. Although it was planted in the first year, the quality and quantity of the medicinal materials harvested are much higher than that of ordinary medicinal fields. When Gu Jia received it, it was the price given by the first-class goods.

After being busy for nearly a month, all the medicinal materials in the valley have returned to the warehouse. Originally, the villagers who had followed the Gu family to grow medicinal herbs with an uneasy mentality, now carry a heavy silver tael in their arms, not to mention how beautiful they are in their hearts.

When making the choice, the family sat together and discussed for a long time, all with the mentality of giving it a try. Anyway, the land doesn’t need money, the seeds are given by the Gu family, as long as they put in a little effort, even if the medicinal materials can’t grow, it’s just a waste of time. Most people have this kind of mentality and lead a few acres of land to plant.

Of course, there are also some people, such as Zhang Orion, Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt, and Third Grandma, who have a good relationship with the Gu family. I believe that the Gu family will definitely not cheat them, and will follow them with a determined attitude. These are just a few. There are more than 30 families in the village, but only 15 or 6 families follow them, and they still dare not take too much land, for fear of falling into their hands.

Now, with the silver in their pockets, these people can’t help but regret it. It would have been better if they had grown a few acres. For example, village chiefs and patriarchs with a large population have only planted ten acres. On average, one mu of land has an income of 167 taels, which means that the two families earn 167 taels a year. But the two families were very happy, and at the same time attracted the envious eyes of others.

On this day, the village chief’s family was eating dinner around a table. Li Zhu’s daughter-in-law came in smiling at this time. Seeing the third meal with meat and meat on the table, Li Zhu’s wife was greedy. The land in Qingshan Village is barren, and the food they grow cannot even fill their stomachs. Most families eat two meals a day. The village chief’s uncle used to be like this. Now he has actually learned to take care of his family, eat three meals a day, and meat. It must be the same as the rumors, and he made a lot of money with the Gu family.

Li Zhu’s daughter-in-law greeted with a smile: “Uncle, where to eat!” The

village chief’s mother-in-law had a smile on her chubby face: “Yeah, has Zhuzi’s daughter-in-law eaten? No, sit down and eat some.”

“No, auntie, I’ve eaten it!” Li Zhu’s wife secretly swallowed her saliva, thinking of her purpose of coming here, she tried her best to resist the temptation of the smell of the food, “You guys have been busy all day, hurry up and eat, leave me alone.”

The village chief’s family was just talking about the harvest of the medicine field, and the outsiders who came at this time stopped there. The eldest daughter-in-law gave her son and daughter a good dish with chopsticks, and they hurriedly ate it.

Li Zhu’s daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and complimented: “Big brother and sister-in-law, these two children in your family are very successful. I heard that working in a pharmaceutical factory earns one tael of silver a month, and sometimes the reward is higher than the salary. The two of them earn more in a month than we earn in a year.” Sister-in-

law Li likes to hear others compliment her children, which makes her even happier: “That’s right! We Xiuer are smart and capable, He was selected by Ye Er and taught her to make medicine by hand. The salary has doubled!”

“Mother, eat meat!” Li Hao quickly took a chopstick for Sister Li and put it in her bowl. He was afraid that his mother would be complacent and pour out a lot of things in the factory for others to hear. It is better to talk less about the pharmaceutical factory in the future.

“Haozi is really filial!” Li Zhu’s daughter-in-law praised again, blinking and continued, “Ye’er of the Gu family is really promising now. Not only does she make a lot of money herself, but she also brings the children of the village with her. It’s a pity that our Nizi Maotou and Maotou are still young, so I can’t work with my elder brothers and sisters.” Sister

Li ate the vegetables her son gave her, and smiled until her eyes disappeared: “Your daughter is seven or eight years old, right? Wait another three to five years. Yes, I can go out and do things too. You are right, Ye’er’s child is benevolent and righteous, and you must hire someone who knows the roots of our village first. Your girl is honest and capable, so you can relax!”

“Ah… Li Zhu’s daughter-in-law sighed deeply and said, “Speaking of two children, I am useless as a mother, and I can’t even let the children eat a full meal. The father of the child wants to go out and find something to do, and he Without access, the family points to the four or five acres of mountains, and it is already a blessing from the gods to not die of starvation.” Here

! Li family, you look at me, I look at you, but did not answer. Li Zhu’s daughter-in-law looked embarrassed, but she had to continue speaking with a cheeky face: “I blamed me at the beginning. I didn’t dare to pack a few acres of medicine fields because of the lack of labor at home. Now I can only watch other people’s money flow in. It’s too late to regret it.”

There are a lot of people like the Li family who made a fortune in a low voice, but there are also those who are stunned when they get money, wishing that every ten miles and eight villages would know that their family made a fortune. No, the news that the Gu family made a lot of money by growing medicine spread all over the village.

Thinking about it, the family in the mountains worked so hard that they were rich enough to have three or five taels of silver left at the end of the year. Even the family of Widow Li, who planted medicine with the Gu family, had an income of more than 30 taels of silver. It’s no wonder that the eyes of those who didn’t follow the seeds are red, and the bowels are regretful.

The village chief put down his chopsticks and looked at his nephew’s daughter-in-law: “Just say what you want to say, don’t go around the corner.”

Li Zhu’s daughter-in-law hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: “Uncle, the land in the mountains counts as our Qingshan Village. Right? I…I was thinking, when next year, can you give us a few acres…”

“Zhuzi daughter-in-law, you are not stupid. As early as in summer, the medicinal materials in the fields were growing well, and the families who followed the cultivation of medicines had already bought the land back, and even got the title deed. Eighty acres of land, I will do it! So, now those medicinal fields are the private property of the villagers.” The land in the valley was just opened this year, and at the price of wasteland, there is no one else. Can’t afford the money.
