Chapter 41: Being Slapped in the Face for Two Consecutive Days (Updated)
I have been searching for a long time.
Seeing the sun rising high in the sky, the two of them stopped to take a rest.
Song Jingyun never saw any grass that he thought was pretty again, but he successfully found two rabbits and caught them very easily.
A pheasant, two fat rabbits and a large ginseng, today's harvest is quite good.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Mixia pulled Song Jingyun out to cut some bamboos at the foot of the mountain.
It was almost noon, and I was afraid that I would not be able to cut enough bamboos as expected, but I had to cut a few trees at least so that I would have some bamboos to make bamboo strips at home in the afternoon.
If it is not enough, we can come back and chop more in the afternoon.
After another busy day, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun happily headed home, pulling half a cart of bamboo, carrying rabbits, pheasants, and ginseng hidden in bamboo baskets.
"Oh, Xiaoxia and Jingyun went hunting?"
It was noon, and many people who were washing and picking vegetables by the well, or returning home with farm tools after finishing their farm work, saw the fat rabbits hanging on the handlebars of Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun's carts and exclaimed in admiration.
"The rabbits are really fat, and the pheasants are big, so it's a great harvest."
"It's okay. I was lucky enough to catch it with the net." Jiang Mixia responded with a smile.
"The pheasant feathers look shiny and long. They fall down when you turn around. I'll go to your house to ask for a few and make a shuttlecock for the child to play with."
"Okay, leave it for me. You can get it when you go home later." Jiang Mixia agreed readily.
When farmers kill chickens and geese, peddlers will come to collect the chicken feathers, duck feathers and other things. If they collect a lot, they can sell them for a few cents, so most of them will be kept well.
We are all neighbors, asking for a few chicken feathers is not a big deal.
After some greetings, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun went home.
The women who gathered together were still gossiping.
"Don't mention it, Xiaoxia and Jingyun are really capable. They go out to chop bamboo and hunt rabbits. It's no wonder that life at home is getting better and better with this kind of work."
"Of course not. If a person is diligent, the family will accumulate wealth. Whether the family can live well in the future depends on how diligent the younger generations are."
"Xiao Xia and Jing Yun are really much better than those people who only know how to be sneaky and cunning, can't hunt anything because of their own incompetence, and insist that their luck is ruined by others."
"Are you talking about Jiang Chunhe, sister-in-law?"
"That's him, isn't it? A grown man, so dumb that he can't even catch a rabbit, and yet he has the nerve to say that others are hindering him. How dare he? Fortunately, his parents still indulge him. If I were his parents, I would be so embarrassed!"
Shameful·Indulging Jiang Chunhe·Zhang, "..."
She had just gone to the field to pick a basket of beans and was thinking of washing the vegetables in the well, but when she got closer, she heard these unpleasant words.
It was really infuriating! Why did these gossipers say that his son was incompetent? It was clearly Jiang Mixia's fault.
But then again, she had just seen the rabbit and pheasant that Jiang Mixia was carrying on the handlebars of her bike, and they were quite big.
Jiang Chunhe couldn't hunt anything every time, saying that the creatures in the mountains became more and more alert in the summer, so it was difficult to hunt. But Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun had never hunted before, so how could they bring back so many just by casually going into the mountains?
What they hit was not the prey, but the face of their second house! And they were hit in the face for two consecutive days! Zhang's blood surged and she had a headache.
When Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun returned home, Liu and Jiang Youcheng were preparing lunch. When they saw their daughter and her husband coming back, they started unloading bamboo into the yard.
"Dad, Mom, please close the yard door first and let's go inside to talk about something." Jiang Mixia lowered her voice.
"What's going on?"
Although Jiang Youcheng and Liu were confused, seeing Jiang Mixia's serious expression, they hurriedly did as she said and closed the courtyard door and the main room door together.
"I went into the mountains with Jing Yun today and dug this up." Jiang Mixia put down the bamboo basket in her hand and took out the things inside.
"This is……"
"Ginseng?"
Jiang Youcheng and Liu's legs almost went limp, and then they were so excited that they almost cried.
Ginseng, this is something precious and valuable! "Did you dig this?" Jiang Youcheng's lips trembled.
"Jing Yun dug it up." Jiang Mixia did not want to take credit for the young son-in-law's work, and even praised him a few more times, "Originally, I said that this grass looked so ugly that I didn't want to dig it, but Jing Yun was determined to dig it up, and he found out that it was ginseng."
"Jingyun is capable and lucky. You have to listen to Jingyun's words in the future." The last time she picked up a river clam with pearls, Liu felt that Song Jingyun was blessed. The more she saw him now, the more she felt that was true.
Song Jingyun chuckled, feeling full of a sense of accomplishment.
"Don't just stand there and talk. Quickly take the red cloth and wrap up the ginseng. It is said that this thing is very spiritual. Don't let it run away." Jiang Youcheng instructed hurriedly.
"I'll go right away."
Liu hurriedly went into the inner room, found red cloth and red rope, carefully wrapped the ginseng, and placed it carefully in a box, and finally in a large wooden box.
Finally, he felt uneasy and piled a few cotton quilts on top of the wooden box to prevent the ginseng from escaping.
After everything was tidied up, the family started preparing lunch.
Originally, we were going to cook a simple vegetable soup with noodles, but now because of the ginseng, everyone in the family is happy, so the vegetarian soup noodles were changed into noodles with green beans and diced beans, and each person added a round poached egg.
At night, I simply stewed the piece of gift-shaped meat at home into braised pork, and had a delicious meal with pure white flour buns and white rice porridge.
The next day, Jiang Youcheng, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun went to sell ginseng.
Afraid that the town's medical clinic wouldn't recognize the product, he made a special trip to the county town early in the morning.
With the experience of selling pearls last time, Jiang Youcheng didn't need Jiang Mixia's reminder this time. He went to several clinics and herbal medicine stores in succession and finally chose the one with the highest price to sell.
This ginseng is of good quality, but not very old, and the final price is twenty-five taels.
A little more than the pearls I sold before.
This time when Jiang Youcheng came out of the herbal medicine shop with the silver in his pocket, he was not weak in the knees, but was much calmer. However, he still held his head high and raised his arms, saying, "Let's go, Dad will take you to eat something delicious."
If you get the money, of course you have to have a good meal.
Song Jingyun especially likes to eat it.
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun followed happily.
On the way to find a restaurant, I passed by the Jinyu Pavilion where I had previously sold pearls.
The Jinyu Pavilion, which had been busy before but definitely deserted, was now bustling with people coming and going. The waiter was greeting people at the door and his face was almost stiff from smiling.
Look at the Treasure House...
Little Son-in-law: It’s another day of making money, life is too simple…
Please give me a monthly ticket~ (End of this chapter)
