Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 125, Mountain goods

"Your brother went to the south? Got rich?"

"Hey, you girl, why didn't you tell me earlier that my family still has the mushrooms from last year, look at you..."

"Hey, my brother and the others collected mountain goods in the city, such as furs, hickory nuts, hazelnuts, hazel mushrooms, and mountain fungus. They loaded two carts and transported them to the south, earning three times as much!"

"What?! Triple?!"

"This... This is still collected in the city. The price in the city is so high. These things are basically free for our farmers!"

"Oh, you prodigal child, let the people in our village refuse, and go to buy other people's, aren't you wasting money!"

A short and fat aunt anxiously grabbed Xiaoqing's arm and twisted it, causing Xiaoqing to inhale in pain.

"Hey, just say what you say, why are you pinching my daughter-in-law?"

Zhao Liushi is not happy anymore, why is this, it's okay for this silly boy to tell others everything, why is he still doing it? !

"Oh, her aunt, don't mind, I'm used to it, bah, it wasn't on purpose."

"However, on this road going south, there are people who rob, steal, and pull things along the road. It's not something that everyone can do to make money. Do you recognize this?"

"Of course, it's a journey of thousands of miles. My God, I've only been to the city twice. Thousands of miles can kill me!"

"Yes, so, what I want to say is that there is a market for our mountain products, and people buy them, but you can't fish for three days and dry the nets for two days. If you are happy, go get some, and if you are not happy, don't go. After a year like this There are more than a dozen catties of mushrooms in total, but they can’t be sold for a lot of money. The mountain can be picked in every season. After the spring rain, the mountain is full of mushrooms. Fungus, ganoderma, and wild vegetables are the most popular in the south. Rare. In midsummer, there are more wild fruits. In autumn, the mountains are full of fruits, pine nuts, and fungus mushrooms. If you go up the mountain every day, you can get a few kilograms of dry goods. If you want to buy new year’s goods for the New Year, you can sell them at a good price, do you think this is a good way to earn money?”

Now there are more ears pricked up, not only the women, but even the men who are busy cooking are listening to the movement here.

"This... on this mountain, can there be such things?"

"Then tell me, if you keep saving, how much money can you earn?"

"Even if you save two catties of mushrooms a day, you can still sell them for [-] yuan...Miss Xiaoqing, is this what you said, earning [-] yuan a day, and you can get the money at the end of the year?"

After a long circle, it turned out to be like this.

"That's right, there's only so much land anyway, and that's all the grain it produces, but the mountains can be as big as they are, and you can pick things every day you go up the mountain. If you're lucky, you might even pick ginseng and kill a roe deer... Mountain goods, look worthless, but they can’t stand to accumulate over time, twenty coins a day, and six or seven taels of silver in a year, it’s free, do you want it?”

The little girl's fair and tender face could still see some red marks, but she had gradually revealed a beautiful appearance, smiling like a little fox in the sun, and looked at her aunts proudly.

Farming and eating, in fact, except for their own rations and taxes paid, there is not much money left throughout the year. The elders go out to work, that is, earn pocket money, and they can get back two taels of silver a year. Even if Xiaoqing doesn't mention the mountain goods, everyone knows that they are inexhaustible!

The year is good and the year is bad. The mushrooms and fruits on the mountain are still there. Everyone thinks they are worthless, and they don’t pick them up when they are thrown on the ground. But now it seems that they are white money?
