Chapter 215 Send Someone Here
Gu Jinli felt relieved after hearing this.
After the two hid their things, they went home to rest.
They thought this was done without anyone noticing, but Mr. Qin still found out.
Although Mr. Qin was old, he had sharp ears and eyes. He heard some voices and knew that Sanlang went to Xiaoyu and gave her family heirlooms as compensation.
Originally he wanted to stop it, but he held back.
It's safer to put that thing in Xiaoyu's hands than in Saburo's hands...
Early the next morning, several families got up before dawn and went to see off Qin Sanlang and others.
Village Chief He also came.
Village Chief He was very excited and said to the third grandfather and Mr. Qin: "The children of your family are promising. Now that they have joined the county government as errands, they will not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives."
There are people in the village working as county government officials, which is a great thing for their village.
Mr. Qin said: "We still have to compete. I don't know if I can enter the Yamen yet."
Village Chief He said with a smile: "What are you afraid of in a competition? Erlang, Sanlang and Brother Wu both have real abilities and will definitely win."
After the elders of several families said a few words to Qin Erlang, Qin Sanlang, and Luo Wu, they were sent out of the end of the village. They did not turn back home until they could no longer be seen.
Brother and sister Gu Jinli, Gu Dashan, Third Grandpa, Gu Dafu and others returned to the workshop to get tofu for He Dacang and others.
Now the tofu produced in the workshop has reached 2,800 kilograms. In a few days, when He Laoguo and the others get started, they will be able to grind more soy milk and produce more tofu in the workshop.
Half an hour later, Gu Jinli and the others finished their morning work. After Gu Jinan recorded the accounts, he went home, had breakfast, and went to school carrying a cloth bag.
He Laoguo and the others had not grinded that much soy milk. After Gu Dashan finished his breakfast, the third grandfather asked him to call Gu Dafu, Gu Dalin, and the half-year-old children of several families to water, fertilize, and weed the fields together. .
Gu Jinli also took Mo Chunyue down to the fields, weeding the acres of medicinal fields and spreading grass ash to fertilize the ground.
Mo Chunyue asked her: "Little boss, how much can these medicinal materials be sold for? Are they more valuable than white rice?"
Gu Jinli said: "It depends on what medicinal materials you grow. Some medicinal materials are more valuable than white rice, and some medicinal materials are very cheap, even more expensive than soybeans."
However, she is still very optimistic about the cultivation of medicinal herbs. It is a stable and family-friendly business.
Moreover, growing medicinal materials does not require paddy fields and can be grown in mountainous and wasteland. Once planted, some medicinal materials can be sold for several hundred pennies per catty, which is much more cost-effective than growing rice.
Mo Chunyue wanted to grow medicinal materials with Gu Jinli. She felt that this little boss was a lucky person, and it seemed that she could make a lot of money in whatever she did. But after hearing Gu Jinli's words, I started to feel unsure again. I didn't know if I should follow suit?
Gu Jinli saw through her thoughts at a glance and said to her directly: "Valuable medicinal materials are harvested every few years. If you want to grow medicinal materials, you must have money to spend. If you want money to come every six months, then you don't Grow medicinal herbs.”
"You don't have to worry about this in a hurry. Your family has no land now. Let's work to earn money to buy land first."
He San Leizi's family used to have land, but it was destroyed by him. Now that the family doesn't have even half an acre of land, and they still owe debts to the He family, how can they buy land to grow medicinal materials?
When Mo Chunyue heard this, she gave up her thoughts on growing medicinal materials and thought about making money first, paying off the remaining debts, and then buying the land.
There is not much medicine field in one acre. Gu Jinli and Mo Chunyue worked in the field for an hour, and by noon, they had completed one acre of medicine field.
"Second sister, father, and third grandpa, let's go home for lunch." Brother Cheng ran to the field with his short legs, shouting as he ran.
Gu Dashan came up from the soybean field and hugged Brother Cheng who was running happily: "Stop running, be careful of falling."
Brother Cheng raised his head and smiled at Gu Dashan: "Dad, I have strength now and I won't fall down."
The second sister always made good food for them, which made him fat.
Then he said: "Dad, I practiced calligraphy in the morning and practiced all the calligraphy taught by my elder brother ten times."
Brother Cheng was only four years old and had not yet entered school, but Gu Jinan would teach him how to write every day when he came home. He even taught Gu Dashan how to read.
The life of the family will get better and better. As the head of the family, Gu Dashan can't do it if he doesn't know how to read. He needs to learn more so that he can manage the family's business well in the future.
Gu Dashan's dark face was full of smiles: "Our brother Cheng is so good."
In the past, when he was in his hometown, Brother Cheng didn't speak much and was scared of being beaten by Mrs. Gu. Now that he is away from the old Gu family, Brother Cheng is becoming more and more cheerful.
Thinking of the old Gu family, Gu Dashan couldn't help but murmur: "I don't know if they are still alive?"
"Da Shan, come home." Third Grandpa, Gu Dafu and the others came up from the fields, grabbed a few handfuls of weeds, wiped the soil off their feet, and then went home to have lunch together.
After lunch, the men from each family went to the workshops to make soy milk and tofu.
Gu Jinli stayed in the workshop all afternoon, fearing that the Zou Yuzhen brothers and sisters would come again. But the strange thing is that the brothers and sisters did not come, nor did they visit several houses.
Gu Jinli was not reassured by this, but told Gu Jinxiu to close the courtyard door. If anyone from the Lu family and the Zou family came to the door, they must not open the door. The hatred between these two families was very deep. She didn't believe that Zou Yuzhen and his sister were sincere in apologizing.
That night, Qin Sanlang and the others did not come back. Lao Luo drove a mule cart to deliver news to them, saying that Qin Sanlang and the others had passed the first round of competition and would compete twice more. If you lose, you will come back early. If you pass the competition, you won't be able to go home until at least the third day.
After receiving the news, several families felt a little relieved. While thinking about Qin Sanlang and the others, they were busy with matters in the workshop.
Three days later at noon, five mule carts drove into Dafeng Village. The first mule cart was driven by Qin Sanlang.
"Brother Qin is back!" Tian Erqiang was preparing spices in the yard of his home. When he saw Qin Sanlang driving the car, he hurried out and shouted around to notify several families.
The path at the end of the village was too narrow, and there were four mule carts following Qin Sanlang, so it was difficult to stop. He just said to Tian Erqiang: "Hey, we are back. My second brother, Brother Luo Wu, and I have passed the exam."
Hearing this, Tian Erqiang shouted again: "Brother Qin, Second Brother Qin, and Brother Luo Wu have all passed the exams, and now they are officials who live in the yamen!"
Tian Erqiang was so happy. When he was in his hometown, his family was an outsider and lived a submissive life in the village. When his grandma was still alive, he often said that if his family could have an official family member who ate at the Yamen, life at home would be easier.
Tian Erqiang has always remembered this, and now he is very happy to see Qin Sanlang and others working in the county government. In the future, their status in the village will become higher, and people in the village will have to be careful if they want to bully them.
Jiang Jiao is also here. He is here to send someone to Gu Jinli's family.
On March 17, Gu Jinli and the others went to Shang Xiucai's house and talked about buying a viewing workshop. Jiang County Lieutenant told Jiang Jiao about this and asked him to bring back several families for her as requested by Jin Li when he went to Fucheng.
