Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 25 No.20 Chapter Five: Making a living
Zhang Lihua shook her head, fearing that her parents would be worried, she hurriedly added, "Shitou met my brother at the banquet just now, and said that he has grown taller and gained weight, so he must be fine outside, mother, don't worry."

Mrs. Chen nodded, pursed her lips, looked at her daughter with some withered hair, and wanted to say something, but swallowed the sigh in her chest, and the words in her mouth changed, "You take good care of yourself at home, listen to you Grandma's words."

"Well, I get it." Zhang Lihua replied and got up, "We still have to go back, so we're leaving now."

Walking out of the yard where Chang Gong lived, and turning the corner and out of sight, Zhang Lihua slowed down her pace a bit.

She turned to look at Song Qiu, and after a while, she leaned over and grinned, "Aqiu, did you see that? My mother just gave me some coins!"

Song Qiu: "..." She didn't see it, and thought that Aunt Donggua was pulling Lihua just now because she was reluctant to leave her, so it turned out that she took the opportunity to stuff the copper plate.

"Didn't your parents take home all their salary every year? Where did you get the money for you?"

The long-term workers of the Cheng family are provided with food and housing, clothes and shoes are distributed every season, and the wages are paid directly at the beginning of each year when they start work, and there will be no wages until the end of the year.

"I don't know, maybe you got it by doing something for others?" Zhang Lihua was also very puzzled, but there was no time to ask carefully just now.

She spread her palms open, revealing four copper coins, "My mother told me to buy flowers and wear, Aqiu, you keep it for me and save it together."

Song Qiu thought that with the honest nature of Uncle Donggua and his wife, they would definitely not steal other people's money. The money came legitimately. Although he was puzzled, he still nodded, took it and put it away.

"Then now you have 340 and seven coins with me, and if you have 150 and three, you will be half two!"

Zhang Lihua is not very good. Hearing what Song Qiu said, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I actually have so much money? Come on, save another hundred or so. If you have half a tael of silver, give it to my brother." Daughter-in-law is almost inseparable!"

Song Qiu couldn't hold back from pouring cold water on her, "Son, what kind of daughter-in-law are you asking for with half a tael of silver? It's still short."

Zhang Lihua curled her lips at her, "I know, I know, it's okay to be close to ten, then four to six! After all, I will save more and more!"

People, you have to look forward.

Song Qiu squinted his eyes and smiled, thinking about it in his heart, couldn't help but whispered to Zhang Lihua: "The rare fungus is hard to pick up, and it might take a few years to save just a few pennies. Isn't the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon, I have a good business here, do you want to buy a share? If you can make a lot of money, your money may be doubled or doubled!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lihua thought that she was right. After these two months passed, the mountain fungus was gone, or if it was not easy to sell, she would not be able to save money, and there was nothing to save money in the second half of the year.

It's hard to save more money.

"Then Ah Qiu, what do you do for a living during the Dragon Boat Festival? Can you really make a fortune?"

She thought about the Dragon Boat Festival carefully in her mind. Isn't their custom here to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival to plant mugwort leaves and calamus in front of the door, boil mugwort leaves to wash in the bath, wash hair, and get rid of bad luck?

Song Qiu smiled mysteriously, she had thought about this profitable business for a long time.

It was also the dynasty she came from that gave her this opportunity to make money, and it was also the Dragon Boat Festival. It seems that besides hanging mugwort leaves and calamus to wash mugwort leaves water, there are also mugwort leaves boiled eggs to eat during the Dragon Boat Festival.

I won't talk about the rest of the dragon boating and drinking realgar wine, because her hometown in her previous life didn't have these.

But the most important thing is that there is no such thing as zongzi here!
There is no such thing as Dragon Boat Festival eating zongzi as a custom here, it simply gives her a great opportunity to make money!
Therefore, selling zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival is what she has been thinking about for a long time. This is definitely something that can be done. Even if it doesn't make a lot of money, it is okay to make a small fortune.

I'm 22 today, so I can start getting ready.

Comprehending this in his heart, Song Qiu whispered: "I plan to sell a kind of food during the Dragon Boat Festival. I don't know what to say in a while. Let's go back to the village first, and I will let you look at the things before we talk to you." You elaborate."

The two of them walked back to Songshan Village all the way, but almost everyone in the village didn't come back. Also, people in their village didn't go to work in the fields, and most of them spent time in Chengjiazhuang.

The old Yuan family has not returned home at this point, and the wife of that family has not yet given birth.

Song Qiu opened the courtyard door, took the basket, and dragged Zhang Lihua straight up the mountain.

The mountains behind the Songshan Village are for future generations, that is where she works, and she really spends almost all day on this mountain.

If she wants to talk about other things now, she can't say well. If she wants to talk about Songshan, there is nothing she is not familiar with.

After climbing halfway up the mountain, Song Qiu pointed to the small hill on the left that came down from the col and climbed up again, a piece not far from the official road outside.

"Lihua, do you see that mountain? There are bamboos all over there. We need the shells of the bamboos for this food. Let's go pick some up now."

Songqiu had been paying attention to that mountain for a long time, but he never went there.

The main thing is to cross a mountain col, which is a little far away.

Zhang Lihua looked over, saw what she said, and said, "Isn't that Ershan Mountain? There are snakes in the bamboo forest, Aqiu, have you forgotten? Once when we went there, we encountered snakes. Later, we were so scared that we never dared to go there again.”

The mountain where the bamboo forest is located looks like a human ear from top to bottom, so it is called Ear Mountain.

Song Qiu thought about what Zhang Lihua said about the snake, and looked through his memory, and found that it was two or three years ago. If he didn't think about it, he really couldn't remember it.

"It's okay, let's just be careful!"

There is a bamboo forest in the ear mountain in the back, and they are all mottled bamboos, so she has to go even if there are snakes.

The two of them carefully descended the mountainside, passed through the col between the two mountains, and went up to Ershan Mountain. They found mountain fungus on the way and picked them up along the way.

The bamboo forest is quiet and cool, but once you get into the bamboo forest, the feeling is different. The densely packed bamboos are densely packed with lush leaves, covering the sky and the sun, so it is quite cool.

As soon as she got into the bamboo forest, Song Qiu stepped on a mottled bamboo shell. She immediately bent over to pick it up, and turned her head to show Zhang Lihua, "Look, Lihua, the food I want to cook is made of this mottled bamboo shell, but I don't know what to do. The mottled bamboo shells are all scattered, we have to pick the ones that are tightly wrapped together, and the ones that are not damaged."

As she spoke, she saw a bamboo shell that was about to peel off within reach of a nearby bamboo tree. She peeled it off carefully, and as soon as it fell off in her hands, the bamboo shell spontaneously curled up , "Here, Pear Blossom, look, this is the kind, just right."

Of course, Zhang Lihua had seen the bamboo shell before, but she couldn't think of what to eat when she looked at the bamboo shell.
But Aqiu said so, she believed in Aqiu, so she followed suit.
