Chapter 37 Throwing the Bomb

Ding Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, "I said to rely on medicinal materials, but alas, medicinal materials grow slowly. It's hard to grow those medicinal materials in a year or a half. Just go to the mountains to dig those wild ones, and they can't supply them at all." , the whole family will starve to death."

Ding Laozhong was not convinced, "What do you want for a year and a half? I don't believe it. It hasn't rained all the time? It will definitely snow heavily in winter. How can the whole family starve to death?"

"The rice, flour, grain and oil bought today for a tael of silver is enough for us to eat for three months. Besides, yesterday your eldest sister also said that she would send cornmeal to our family."

Looking at Ding Laozhong, a narrow-minded and selfish country man, Ding Xiang was quite dissatisfied, "Our family is not just a matter of getting through this disaster year, nor is it a matter of how to make ends meet. I told you as soon as I got home that our family I want to make a lot of money and become a rich man!"

"Not only our family, but also my eldest sister's family. Her family is also very poor. Didn't you see the patches on my eldest sister and brother-in-law's clothes? Are you ashamed to ask for her family's face? Dad, from now on, the family will listen to my arrangement and let you do it." Do whatever you want and make sure you get rich."

Seeing Ding Xiang's confident look, Ding Laozhong was quite disapproving.

However, after all, Ding Xiang spent three years in the palace, knowing a nobleman like Shi Zi, he was more knowledgeable and capable than himself, and Ding Lao Zhong gradually thought about it.

In any case, the money she got for selling the medicinal materials was carried in her arms, and the things she bought were also carried on her back.From now on, the whole family will just listen to her and see how much money she can spare.

Thinking of the Magnolia officinalis at home, Ding Laozhong suddenly became energetic, and it didn't feel too heavy to carry dozens of catties of grain.

The whole family was overjoyed to see the father and son returning home with a full load.

The big head and the second head rushed forward no matter how far away they were, took the grain and the basket full of cloves from Ding Laozhong's body, ran into the main room in a hurry, and shouted: "Mother, eldest sister, look quickly!"

Ding Xiangniang and Yue Gui hurriedly put down the shoes in their hands, got up and went to greet them, looking at the things they bought, they were so happy from ear to ear.

The whole family looked at the two eagerly, and Yue Gui asked happily: "How much did you sell the medicinal materials in total? If you bought so many things at once, you will have to sell them for 500 yuan, right?"

Ding Xiang didn't speak, just drank water with a smile, but she liked the atmosphere very much in her heart.

Ding Laozhong was as happy as a child, patted the pocket on his waist, and said with a smile, "Guess how many of you?"

The big one and the two looked at each other, and asked in unison: "600 money?"

Ding Laozhong shook his head with a smile, took the wet towel handed over by Yuegui, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, "Ding Xiangniang, the children have already guessed it, you guess it!"

Ding Xiangniang was happy and puzzled, "Could it be higher? At most 700 yuan will be the top?"

Ding Xiang accepted the words with a smile, "It's one tael of silver."

That is, one thousand Wen and one penny.In ancient times, a hanging coin was worth one thousand Wen.

In the Ming Dynasty, one tael and a half of silver was enough for a commoner to live for a year.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a catty (equivalent to 1.2 catties in modern times) of pork was twenty coins, and an acre of fertile land cost only seven or eight taels of silver, and a hundred taels of silver is today's big money!

"Yeah—" The crowd was both surprised and happy, and the second head immediately asked, "When will I go to the city to sell magnolias?"

Ding Laozhong didn't answer, took out the money and said, "This is the leftover money, keep it well."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Ding Xiang threw another bomb, "The whole family will not sleep at night, and catch bamboo rats in the forest behind!"
