Chapter 42 Invite someone to dig wild ginseng
Qin Shan was really scared by Uncle Qin's nonsense. Why was it still talking about Dong Chenghu before? As soon as the topic changed, it immediately pointed the finger at him. It was too sudden.
Qin Shan responded to Uncle Qin's slightest voice and ran away quickly.
Uncle Qin saw his anxious look and felt sorry for his irony.
Gu Shuixiu ignored other people's ideas and led everyone to the valley on the first day to start work, and cut out the fields she liked, and asked these people to ignite according to the wind direction when all the dewdrops evaporate at noon. As the saying goes, sparks can start a prairie fire. Taking advantage of the wind, the dry weeds and bushes are getting stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, all the big trees in the valley were cut down by Dong Chenghu. They either built houses or made furniture. The fires spread extremely quickly without big trees. Before the sun set, they were almost burned out. Even the places where Gu Shuixiu had no designated ones were burned.
However, Gu Shuixiu was not worried at all. No matter how much it burned in the valley, it would not spread to the entire forest. It would be better to burn all the weeds in the valley, so that it would be more convenient to plan in the future.
The few people watched the sky gradually sink, and went back without caring about the situation here.
In the shortest time, Gu Shuixiu prepared a table of delicious food, including braised pork, roasted pheasants, steamed fish, a plate of fried fungus, oyster porridge, a pot of dry rice and a few steamed buns.
The pheasant was hunted by Zuo Qingsong, and the fish was caught by Dong Chenghu in a fish basket, but it was not found every day.
The few people were so satisfied with their food. Qin Chuan even said, "Brother Cheng Hu, eating like this every day has raised my appetite. What if I can't eat enough when I go home in the future?"
This is also what Uncle Qin and Hao are worried about.
Dong Chenghu didn't care, "If you can't eat enough, come to my brother. Whatever you want to eat!"
"Head Hu, don't be addicted to him. If he doesn't have enough food in the future, let him think of a solution by himself!"
Uncle Qin also felt sorry for Qin Chuan. He ate more when he was growing up. If Hao was at home now, he would definitely limit food every day. It would be enough for Qin Chuan to eat half full, and so he could eat with Dong Chenghu.
When Uncle Qin thought of this, he made up his mind to put in more effort to make up for the more Qin Chuan’s food with labor.
Gu Shuixiu and his wife didn't know Uncle Qin's plan.
A group of people were having fun eating. The Qin family walked across the river and returned home in the moonlight. Zuo Qingsong lived in the guest room in the front yard. He was about to go back to the room and hesitated. After a long struggle, he asked, "Yunmei and her two children didn't come out to have a meal, but have their brother and sister prepared food for them?"
Gu Shuixiu was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing it and said with a smile: "They need to take good care of their health. The food is different from ours. I have already sent the cooked porridge. Brother Qingsong, don't worry."
Zuo Qingsong wanted to see Dong Yunmei, but when he spoke, he didn't know how to speak, so he had to go back to his room.
Gu Shuixiu and his wife also went to bed after washing up.
"Cheng Hu, do you think Brother Qingsong is interested in Sister?" Gu Shuixiu kept thinking about Zuo Qingsong's strangeness, and she became more and more sure of her guess.
Dong Chenghu turned over and hugged Gu Shuixiu to find a comfortable position. He was satisfied. It would be better to have a wife!
"You can tell too! Brother Qingsong and his elder sister have been childhood sweethearts. If they hadn't given the elder sister to the Wu family as child brides, they would have been married long ago. Alas! Good luck makes people feel that Brother Qingsong has never been able to get out of the hurdle in his heart these years, and he has been thinking about his elder sister, so he has not gotten married. Now that the elder sister has returned, I guess Brother Qingsong wants to renew his relationship."
"What are your opinions?" Gu Shuixiu looked at him with bright eyes.
Dong Chenghu looked puzzled, and his breath came from the darkness.
"What can I have? As long as my elder sister is happy, it will be done. However, my elder sister has two children and is abused like that by the Wu family. I am afraid I won't agree to Brother Qingsong. Please wait and see, this matter is still exhausted!"
Dong Chenghu murmured twice and fell asleep.
Gu Shuixiu was so angry that she secretly scolded that this person was almost as good as Zhujia, and she could fall asleep immediately after she said she could sleep!
Gu Shuixiu was thinking about Dong Yunmei and Zuo Qingsong's affairs.
Dong Yunmei was also unable to sleep all night because Zuo Qingsong looked at her. She naturally understood that she was a broken flower and had two children around her. What qualifications are there to talk about marriage with her? Why don’t you drag him down!
Thinking of this, Dong Yunmei felt uncomfortable again and secretly wiped her tears in the quilt.
The two children next to me were sleeping soundly.
The next day, the Qin family arrived and they continued to start work.
Gu Shuixiu had already visited the valley they burned yesterday. Although it was not very thorough, it was almost OK. After a night, the land had cooled down, and it was the best to start digging ground at this time.
Today, let Uncle Qin and Qin Chuan and Dong Chenghu burn another valley, and Zuo Qingsong and Qin Shan began to overturn the ground.
Turning the ground is a skill, but it is about skills.
Looking at such a large area of land, Gu Shuixiu suddenly realized that she needed a scalper to cultivate the land. However, Cuizhu Mountain is in the deep mountains, and it is too difficult to buy a scalper to come in. At most, it is to buy a small scalper. When you come back to raise it, you will use it. Since this is the case, don’t worry now.
Zuo Qingsong and Qin Shan were busy turning the ground, and Gu Shuixiu was not idle either. She helped to place the burnt things, which were good things and could be used as fertilizer.
During the sorting process, Gu Shuixiu also found some burnt pheasants and hares, and even seven or eight snakes, which scared Gu Shuixiu to jump three feet high. Of course, as the ground turned deeper, in addition to these disgusting things, he naturally dug up a lot of good things, among which the most valuable was a fifty-year-old wild ginseng.
It was dug by Qin Shan with a hoe. Fortunately, it only damaged some roots. If you sell it to Panlong Town, you can get thirty or forty taels of silver.
Qin Shan made a move to hand over the wild ginseng to Dong Chenghu, but Dong Chenghu was very embarrassed. Logically, he bought this valley and the wild ginseng was his, but this thing was dug by Qin Shan, so he just collected it. Dong Chenghu felt uncomfortable.
Seeing that they rejected each other, Gu Shuixiu couldn't stand it and stepped forward and advised, "Don't make any more money. Although wild ginseng was found in our valley, we wouldn't have discovered it if Brother Qinshan had no luck and dug it out. Let's do this. Let's give Brother Qinshan thirty taels of silver, which we can share equally, so no one will lose to anyone."
"This method is good, just listen to the beautiful ones!" Dong Chenghu grinned happily.
Qin Shan was in a dilemma, "How can this be? You have bought all this mountain, the things are yours. I just got lucky! Besides, this thing is worth 30 taels of silver in Panlong Town. You said you want to give me 30 taels, how could it be divided equally? Or did I take up the big deal!"
