Chapter 294 282: Money is worthless
Zhang Xiuxiang smiled and said, "These two stones are not as beautiful as the white stone with red grass patterns that we found when we were digging sand yesterday."
"Grass flower agate!" Yang Chunyan looked at her in surprise, "Why don't you pick it up?"
"What's so special about stones? I just looked at them for a few seconds and threw them into the pile of stones."
"I looked for it and saw how beautiful it was!"
After hearing this, Zhao Huifang pointed to the pile of rocks in front and said, "It's in that pile of rocks. It's really pretty. You want me to take you to pick it up."
"want!"
The two men dug around in the pile of rocks and found a broken piece of white, crystal-clear stone. It looked a bit like a big foot, with obvious red grass patterns on it.
"Beautiful! So beautiful!" Yang Chunyan exclaimed, "Such a beautiful stone, why don't you pick it up?"
"It's just a piece of stone. What's the use of it even if it looks good?" Zhao Huifang looked at her and smiled, "Can stones be sold for money?"
"If you keep it for ten or twenty years, maybe you can sell it for money!"
Zhao Huifang looked at her with amusement, "If you like it, tell your eldest brother later and let him pick it up for you if he sees it."
Yang Chunyan couldn't explain it clearly, "Sister-in-law, look at this beautiful stone. It would look nice if you put it on the cabinet!"
Zhao Huifang helped her pick up a stone. "You are so old, but you are still like a child, liking these flowers and plants."
Old kid ha!
Yang Chunyan's face felt hot as she thought about going back and telling Zhou Huaian about the petrified wood. Such a beautiful stone, even if she didn't sell it for money, it would be nice to keep it at home as a family heirloom!
Zhou Huaian also picked it up and took a look. "It's pretty nice. If you like it, I'll find it for you when I come to pull sand."
"Hmm!" Yang Chunyan pulled him over and pointed at the petrified wood. "There is another kind of wood that is a bit like this, but the exposed part is like jade. The best one is the one."
Zhou Huaian looked at it and whispered, "Did you see it in your dream?"
Yang Chunyan also answered in a low voice, "Yes! In the village..."
"Oh my god! A piece of stone can be sold for tens of thousands? Is the money in your dream worthless, or is everyone rich?"
"Money is worthless! Take the chickens we raise, for example. In the future, they will cost more than 20 yuan per pound, and you can't buy free-range chickens like today that have not been fed with feed to fatten them."
"What is the fattening feed?"
"It's something that can quickly fatten chickens, ducks, and pigs." Yang Chunyan thought for a moment, "There are also people selling feed who go to the village to distribute flyers about pig feed.
It says, "Fatten in June, fatten in June, if not fattened in June, the money will be refunded! Later, there is also fattening in April, a pig can grow to more than 200 pounds in four months!"
"Fuck! We have to raise a big fat pig for at least a year before we can sell it. It's already over 200 pounds in just four months. The pig's bones haven't grown strong yet, right?"
"Hmm! The meat I bought home doesn't taste good anymore."
"If that's the case, we'll just raise and kill them ourselves!"
"It's usually like this. We feed the pigs we sell with feed, and we feed the pigs we eat with cornmeal."
"Fuck! They feed cornmeal to pigs. Pigs eat better than humans."
Li Qiuyue turned to Zhang Xiuxiang and said, "Look, sister-in-law, the youngest and Chunyan have been married for more than half a year, and they still have a lot to talk about."
Zhang Xiuxiang glanced at her with a smile, "You and the third brother were the same at that time. There was always someone waiting outside when you went to the toilet."
Zhao Huifang smiled and patted her, "Have you forgotten that the third brother carried you down the mountain!"
"Ah!" Li Qiuyue blushed, "Did you all see it?"
Zhang Xiuxiang looked at her calmly, "What's so strange about this? Everyone has come this way."
"That's right, what's wrong with a newlywed couple?"
"Hey!" Zhou Huairong wiped his sweat, "Aren't you guys hungry? What are you talking about if you don't come to work?"
"Let's talk about these two." Zhao Huifang smiled and picked up the crowbar and started working.
"Here we come!" Yang Chunyan and Zhou Huaian also came over to help with a smile.
After working for half an hour, they finally filled the tractor with sand and drove back to the village.
Yang Chunyan and her sisters-in-law got off at Tiankan Road, while Zhou Huaian and his brothers went to the construction site to unload sand.
The four sisters-in-law returned home carrying baskets and bamboo baskets. Li Qiuyue excitedly told Zhou's mother about the red mushrooms, "Ten yuan a pound, you almost threw it away last time."
"Pa~" Zhou's mother slapped her thigh excitedly, "Oh my god! After all this time, it's really worth money! Fortunately, I didn't throw it away!"
Li Qiuyue said repeatedly: "That's right! It's hundreds of dollars!"
Yang Chunyan looked at them with amusement, "We still need more than 100 kilograms of red mushrooms. We need to find a few families to go pick them up together. I want to call Xiaoxue and Aunt San and the others. Which families do you think we should find?"
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "It's only over a hundred kilograms of dried mushrooms. Why do we need to call in outsiders? We can call Xiaoxue's family, your third aunt's family, and your eldest father's family. We will have enough people."
Yang Chunyan nodded, "I've calculated that if you don't count the loss, you need eight or nine kilograms of fresh mushrooms to produce one kilogram of dried red mushrooms. Let's discuss how much is a reasonable price for one kilogram of fresh mushrooms?"
Li Qiuyue thought for a moment and looked at the others, "We'll give them 50 cents per pound, what do you think?"
Zhang Xiuxiang and Zhao Huifang also said: "Red mushrooms are easy to pick. They are 50 cents per pound, and we can earn at least 10 yuan a day."
Yang Chunyan: "Okay, then we'll give you 50 cents a pound. Mom will go tell Aunt San and the others later so they can check and make sure they don't pick up the wrong ones!"
"Yes! You have to be careful with what you eat. If you pick up poisonous mushrooms, it can kill you."
"Now that the sun is shining brightly, take out those dried red mushrooms and dry them in the sun. Let Huai'an send them to Ning'an tomorrow." Yang Chunyan said as she walked out.
"Chunyan," Zhou's mother suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called her, "Have you gone to Ning'an to see Doctor Wang?"
Yang Chunyan didn't expect that even after she had told Zhou Huaian not to say anything, he still spoke so quickly, "I checked, he said it's still early in the pregnancy."
Zhou's mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "She's pregnant!"
"Yeah!" Yang Chunyan nodded happily.
Zhao Huifang and the others also looked at her happily, "What a great thing! Our family is building a new house, and Chunyan is pregnant again, double happiness!"
"Yes, yes, double happiness!"
The kitchen was filled with joyful laughter.
Yang Chunyan walked briskly towards the kitchen door.
"Chunyan!" Zhou's mother called her, "Take the bowls to the main room and set the table for dinner. I'll go dry the mushrooms!"
Zhao Huifang said, "Mom, go to Auntie San's place and tell her, let's go and dry the sun!"
"Yes!" Zhou's mother hurried out.
After Yang Chunyan poured some hot water from the teapot to wash, she began to serve the bowls and set the table.
Zhou Huaian drove the tractor to the construction site and said, "Brother, please unload the materials. I have something to tell Grandpa."
"Go ahead! And tell them to finish work and go home for dinner."
