Chapter 637 The Poorest Village Becomes the Richest Village
How could Butler Fang take it seriously? He waved his hand quickly, then quickly finished the meat porridge and the fried cake in his hand and left quickly.
While it's still early, the carriage can travel further.
The sales of the medicinal drinks at Ren Ai Clinic are increasing, and those who have tried them all say they are good.
Countless word of mouth has been accumulated, so that anyone who is feeling a little unhappy will come to Jiang Fubao to ask for a prescription for a medicinal drink. After all, this thing is cheaper than medicated food and even less expensive than taking medicine. It's just like going to a snack shop to drink a fruit drink. The key is that it's good for your body, too.
The medicinal drinks are selling very well.
The number of people delivering medicine and drinks increased from one trip a day to ten trips a day. The cook was so busy that she couldn't handle it, so Erya had to go to the back to help.
The leaves turn yellow, and autumn is coming.
A breeze blew, and golden waves rose up in the fields.
The autumn harvest has begun in every village.
Jiangjia Village is no exception. At this time of year, Jiang Shoujia lives in the old house.
Because many more medicinal herbs were planted this year, Jiang Fubao also came back after the autumn harvest.
After the grain is harvested, the next step is to harvest the medicinal herbs.
Originally, everyone in the village except Jiang Guangyi's family grew medicinal herbs. After the death of Jiang Guangyi's grandfather and grandson, Fang Silang, who changed his surname to Jiang, also joined the team that grew medicinal herbs.
So the whole village moved from the fields to the wasteland.
Today's wasteland is no longer a wasteland.
Iruma is all yellow and green.
Although the villagers were so tired that sweat was dripping down their cheeks, they looked happy.
The fat year we had last year is still unforgettable.
Life has become much better for every household. They now eat rice with two kinds of meat, put more oil in their dishes, and eat meat every now and then.
It's simply better than living in Zhangjia Village.
It is particularly easy for men and women of marriageable age in the village to find marriages.
Men want to marry girls from Jiangjia Village, and women want to marry here.
In one year, there are eight weddings.
Naturally, there were also many new faces that Jiang Fubao had never seen before.
"Everyone, be careful not to break the roots. Be careful. If the roots are broken, the price will be much lower."
Jiang Fubao felt distressed when she saw someone roughly pulling out the medicine.
This crop of medicine has been planted for two years.
If you pull out one of the roots, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced.
So she used her trump card. When they heard that the medicine root was cut off, it was worthless, so the villagers dared not use any more force. They even wanted to use the strength of coaxing a child to dig the medicine.
That's a treasure.
Medicinal herbs are not as easy to harvest as crops; they need to be dug up little by little.
It took a full seven days to harvest all the ripe medicinal herbs.
Jiang Fubao asked Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng to be responsible for weighing and paying.
"Auntie Liu, your family planted so much this year, a total of 100 catties, and one catty is calculated as 100 coins, a total of 12 taels of silver. Here, come and leave a fingerprint." Jiang Cheng Jiang Meng has lived in the village for a long time.
It has been integrated into Jiangjia Village.
They know every villager, Jiang Meng said to the Liu family's wife with a smile.
Jiang Cheng took out the paper deed and silver.
Jiang Fubao went through all the formalities when buying medicine. She would ask everyone to put their fingerprints when selling medicine to her, including when giving the medicine seeds, to prevent some people from having ulterior motives and secretly selling the herbs elsewhere at a high price. If they used her medicine seeds, they had to sell them to her.
Jiang Fubao asked herself, although the price she offered was lower than that of the pharmacy, she provided the land and the varieties of medicine.
Mrs. Liu was so happy to get the ten taels of silver that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Oh, so much money, more than last year. I was so happy when I only got three taels last year, but this year I got ten taels. Thank you so much. I will plant more next year, but this medicine takes two years to mature. No, I have to open up some more wasteland. Xiao Fubao, can Grandma Liu ask my grandson-in-law and his family to come over to help plant?"
Mrs. Liu held the silver in her hands, looking at it from left to right, but she still felt it was not enough. She thought that she still had five acres of land to plant and four acres of wasteland. There were twelve people in her family, not counting the young ones.
I'm totally busy.
She had just married off her granddaughter, and was planning to invite her grandson-in-law and his family to help. At most, she could give them 10% of the profits from selling medicinal herbs.
Unfortunately, her idea failed.
Jiang Fubao refused directly.
"No, if you do this, Grandma Liu, everyone else will do the same. There won't be enough wasteland for planting. So I can't agree to you. Everyone, listen carefully. Do it in moderation. If you can't plant so many herbs, don't blindly open up wasteland. If you are too busy, you won't be able to take good care of the seeds I gave you. I will no longer cooperate with anyone who wastes the seeds.
I will not give him any more medicinal seeds. Remember what I said. Also, if you want to bring relatives from other villages to help, others will follow suit. I don't need so many medicinal herbs for the time being. Once there are more medicinal herbs, I will plant less next year, and you will naturally earn less. Or, I will lower the purchase price to the lowest. I guess you don't want that, right? Of course, if you grow well, I will give you a reasonable price."
I’m afraid these people have ulterior motives.
Jiang Fubao beat him with a stick and gave him a date.
The flames of anger that had just risen in the villagers' hearts were extinguished in an instant.
Their lives have improved, but their married daughters' families are still poor.
I wanted to pull them.
Now it’s over, there’s no hope.
But soon, smiles appeared on their faces again.
Because Jiang Fubao gave too much money this year.
Even if you earn little, it's still two taels of silver.
It just so happened that the one who got the two taels of silver was Jiang Silang.
He was alone, had no land and no need to grow crops, so he could only concentrate on reclaiming wasteland and growing medicinal herbs. He mostly ate and drank in the mountains on weekdays.
A lot of vegetables are also planted in the backyard of the house.
Jiang Silang worked hard every day, eating wild vegetable porridge or boiled vegetables, as well as wild fruits and mushrooms. Occasionally he could pick up a few bird eggs to satisfy his hunger.
The whole person is very thin.
After receiving the two taels of silver, he immediately bought food from villagers he knew.
He saved the remaining money, but since he was very greedy, he took fifty cents and bought a piece of meat.
He refined the fat part into oil and used the lean part to stir-fry mushrooms. It was his first time eating rice porridge in such a long time and he almost cried.
He ate up half the pot cleanly by himself.
For three consecutive days, the aroma of meat wafted from every household in Jiangjia Village.
The news even spread to the next village.
"Oh, the road is filled with the smell of meat. Who is eating meat? Why does it smell so good?"
"After I pay the grain tax and sell the rice, I will also buy two taels of meat to eat."
"Where else could it have come from? It must be from Jiangjia Village next door. You may not know that Jiangjia Village now not only grows crops, but also medicinal herbs. Not only that, I heard that their village chief is also harvesting chestnuts in the village. They can make money everywhere, so they are rich, aren't they?
Last year, during the New Year celebrations in Jiangjia Village, the firecrackers were set off. Oh, how come they are so lucky to become rich so quickly? Look at us. A few decades ago, Jiangjia Village was not as good as us. It was obviously the poorest village in the town. Now they live happier than the villagers in Zhangjia Village. They eat meat every day and are not afraid of eating too much to get sick. "
