Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

It's already very cold in the north at the moment, maybe it will snow in the next few days.

Xie Xiuwen took Guaibao to the foot of the mountain again during the day, and before he could look for it, he saw that the grandpa and grandson knelt down immediately after seeing them.

Xie Xiuwen frowned. A lame old man and a young child are now abandoned by the old owner. Their livelihood will be a problem in the future.

"Greetings to Mrs. Madam."

The child didn't speak, and kowtowed along with his grandpa.

"Old man, get up and talk quickly, the ground is cold, don't hurt your body again."

Leaning on a crutch, the old man got up tremblingly.

"Master is benevolent, this is my little grandson. His parents died of illness in the early years, and now we are the father and son who depend on each other for life. Please be merciful to the master, don't sell us again."

Hearing these words, Xie Xiuwen felt a bit bitter in his heart.

This is also the warrior who killed the enemy on the battlefield back then!

Even if he failed to be named a general, he was indeed a hero who fought on the battlefield. Now that the hero is late, he is actually in a situation where he is being bought and sold like a commodity.

"Don't worry, old man, I won't sell you. I have sent people to the town to buy some things to keep out the cold. I think it will be delivered in a while. You can live here with peace of mind. When it gets warmer next year, I will arrange people Repair the house on the mountain, and then you can help me look at the house on the mountain."

The old man was so moved that he was trembling and wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen and his family began to wander around the mountains again. Liu Ruolan didn't know much about farming, but Fang Hu still knew a little.

"Master, look at these places, you can grow some sweet potatoes or taro later, and you can grow some vegetables over there in the future. When spring and summer come, the family will no longer need to buy vegetables outside. This mountain will be surrounded by time." Come around and raise some chickens and ducks, not to mention eating meat, and when the little masters come in the future, they can also have fun."

I have to say that Fang Hu really touched Xie Xiuwen's heart.

The house they rented is naturally not suitable for raising a large number of chickens and ducks, mainly because the owner does not agree.

Now that there is such a place, with the help of the grandpa and grandson to take care of it in the future, and a few more long-term workers, it is estimated that it will be able to make ends meet.

Fang Hu didn't know how much money his master had. He only knew that this master had just won the prize, and he was also Duke Xie Yuan, and his wife had a dowry shop. Now that he was able to buy it generously, it must be There is no shortage of money.

Only Xie Xiuwen knew that he didn't have much money in his hand, if he didn't do anything and just waited to eat his money, he would probably be stretched by April or May next year.

After going up the mountain, I looked around, Xie Ronglang grew up on the mountain, and ran to the mountain almost every day. Now I see that this place is different from the mountains I have seen before, and the things grown are also different. Naturally, there are more Kind of curious.

"Fang Hu, you help look after Brother Lang, and teach him more things, I'll take the two of them over there to have a look."

"Yes, sir."

When Fang Hu and Xie Ronglang could no longer be seen, Liu Ruolan was so tired that she found a rock and sat down, and then watched their father and daughter looking around like a treasure hunt.

"Father, this is here. Do you have anything on you?"

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows, and took out a short dagger from his pocket. It was originally used for self-defense, but now it is used as a tool for digging treasures.

With Xie Xiuwen around, it was naturally impossible for his darling to do this kind of rough work. Fortunately, he himself was dressed in a brown coat, and he didn't have a robe with wide sleeves, so it was convenient for him to work.

When the thing was dug out and looked at, Xie Xiuwen's eyes almost went straight!
It turned out to be a ginseng plant!
Ginseng is rare no matter where it is, and it is even rarer if it grows such a large root.

"Baby, how did you know there are good things here?"

Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel that there are good things here."

Xie Xiuwen saw that he couldn't find anything to ask, so he didn't ask any more, but repeatedly told her that if she felt unwell, she must tell him.

Xie Xiuwen has only seen ginseng in books. Looking at this appearance, he estimated that it could be two or three hundred years old, and he didn't know how much it could be worth.

Carefully wrapped the thing in a handkerchief, and then stuffed it into his bosom.

"Father, there are still good things on this mountain."

Xie Xiuwen's heart trembled: "Baby, don't worry, this mountain is ours now, and we don't have to dig it today."

Xie Rongzhao tugged on his sleeve and did not let go: "What if some villagers go up the mountain? We can't keep watching."

This is true.

According to the law of great governance, since this mountain is already owned by Xie Xiuwen, then everything on this mountain belongs to him.

He was kind-hearted and allowed the villagers to go up the mountain to pick up some dead branches as firewood, but some people wanted to get some good things here and take them back.

"Or ginseng?"

Xie Xiuwen asked in a low voice, afraid of being overheard again.

"No. Anyway, it's a good thing."

Xie Xiuwen sighed, took her hand and walked back a few steps, seeing Liu Ruolan still sitting there waiting for them, he whispered: "Then why don't we come back later?"

Xie Rongzhao nodded: "Sure. Don't bring Aniang and younger brother."

Xie Xiuwen smiled and patted her head, only to find that his hands were still covered with dirt, and his daughter's hair was covered with dirt. Feeling guilty, he quickly took a clean handkerchief to help her wipe.

When Liu Ruolan saw their father and daughter coming back, she naturally smiled and scolded them. It was nothing more than that the two of them looked a little embarrassed.

It didn't take long, Fang Hu paid two taels of silver, and settled down to eat at Song's tenant's house, which made the Song family very proud.

Of course, the women of the Song family were a little nervous, for fear that the rough tea and light meals they made would not please the nobles.

Because Fang Hu gave a lot of money, the Song family also killed a chicken neatly, made a large plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, and steamed a pot of white flour steamed buns, which were delicious.

After lunch and a few more brief conversations, the Song family invited them into the west room to rest for a while.

"Don't be surprised, everything in the west room is new, because my Dalang is about to get married, so they are all newly bought, don't worry about using them."

But Liu Ruolan shook her head: "It's too much trouble, since it's for getting married, don't break the rules. We're almost done resting, my husband, shall we go back to town?"

Xie Xiuwen thought for a while: "Fang Hu, send your wife, son, and sister-in-law Wang back to the carriage to rest first. Earlier, my dear treasure said that she wanted to taste the wild scorpion hanging on the treetop, but I didn't allow her. Look at it." Not happy, I will take her to pick a few and come back."

"Why don't you take the young lady to pick fruit?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled: "You don't understand, as long as I pick the baby."

Fang Hu scratched his head, really did not understand. (end of this chapter)
