"Soaking sawdust in oil, anyone can do that. They cheated and swindled, and they actually made so much money. If the Qiao family can do it, why can't the Song family?" The eldest Song said smugly while shaving sawdust.
There are already two jars of sawdust in front of me, but that's not enough; I need at least five more jars.
Even if the Han family discovers that these things are fake, they will still have made a fortune.
They're not afraid of the Han family chasing after them. They won't reveal their address, they'll just disappear without a trace, right?
Song Dahua said, "When we take them to sell, we say that we got them from the Qiao family. The Qiao family has done this business with the Han family several times, and there is trust between them."
"Da Hua's idea is good," said Old Mrs. Song. "Not only should we say that we got the goods from the Qiao family, but we should also go at night so that the Han family can see too clearly."
This discussion gave the Song family even more confidence.
People passing by the Song family's house were curious to see the entire family, young and old, working together to whittle wood chips in the yard.
"What are you doing cutting wood chips so late at night?"
Song Lao Er walked over, his face wary, and slammed the door shut.
"Get lost, get lost, what's it to you? Honestly, you're just jealous of other people making money and want to find out more."
Although the door was closed, the people outside heard Song Lao Er's entire conversation.
People just don't understand what cutting these wood chips has to do with making money.
"Pah! It's more like the Song family is money-hungry, treating wood chips like treasures," the villager who spoke first spat and cursed.
"The Song family has gone mad; their minds are all messed up." Someone said, "Did you know? They found some poisonous mushrooms from the mountains and tried to sell them in town, but they got beaten up. Now they're saying they can make money from sawdust."
"Oh, is that so? Good for them, they've all lost their minds." The person spitting was amused.
The Song family ignored the villagers' gossip and were only immersed in the joy of making a lot of money.
"We've used up all the oil at home, and even went to town to buy twenty jin (about 10 kg), which cost several hundred wen (about 100 coins). We'll sell it tomorrow night and buy two big jars of oil with the money," Old Mrs. Song said as she calculated.
She felt a pang of heartache watching the oil being poured into the sawdust, and could only console herself with this thought.
If I earn tens of taels of silver at once, I can afford not only oil, but also meat every meal.
"Oh right, Mother, we still need to add salt. What if the Han family wants to taste it? We can't do it without salt." Song Lao Er came out of the kitchen carrying a salt jar.
Watching him scoop out spoonfuls of salt and put them into the jar of sawdust, Old Mrs. Song felt another pang of heartache: "Put in less, just enough to taste the salt."
After a whole night of fussing, the Song family collected wood chips from five jars, weighed them, and after deducting the weight of the jars, found a total of eighty jin (approximately 40 kg).
Thinking that they would receive eighty taels of silver the next night, the Song family went to sleep happily.
The Qiao family found 47 catties of matsutake mushrooms today, kept 2 catties for themselves, and fried the remaining 45 catties into 15 catties of dried mushrooms.
Perhaps due to the effects of the divine talisman water, and because she had been eating meat every day for the past few days, Qiao Lian'er no longer felt any discomfort in her body. She felt that her limbs and bones were full of strength and energy.
It's just too small; we'll gradually increase its size.
In the farm space, the bok choy has grown into a lush green patch, some as tall as a finger.
After reading the instructions, I learned that the Divine Talisman Water does not help people grow taller. For people, it mainly has the effect of curing diseases and improving health. Tonight, Qiao Lian'er poured all the Divine Talisman Water on the little cabbages.
