The female supporting role has arrived on the battlefield

Chapter 93 The Cheap Son With Insufficient Kidneys ([-])

As for the memory of books, Jin Heng's memory is still good: "I remember, it depends on the color, as well as the burning fragrance and texture. In terms of color and texture, it looks like sandalwood and agarwood. In terms of smell , I have never smelled the smell of sandalwood and agarwood."

After saying that, Jin Heng's eyes lit up, he picked up the hatchet beside him, chopped off a small branch, and threw it into the bamboo pot filled with water.

Originally, the branch should float on the water, but he didn't want the branch to sink slowly after being thrown on the water. Jin Heng looked even more excited.

"Mother, the wood is sinking, it's agarwood! It's very valuable!"

As he said that, he looked at the big tree leaning behind him, with eyes that wanted to uproot the big tree and carry it home.

"Don't be in a hurry to cut it all down. It can grow again. Our days are long. Besides, mother doesn't have the strength to cut down the tree and carry it home. I will leave it to you when you have the strength later."

"Mother, don't worry, I will exercise when I get back, and try to cut down this tree and exchange it for silver."

The two returned home. Ji Ning didn't know how to deal with agarwood, but she also knew that the freshly cut wood would be discounted if it had enough moisture. She still wanted to exchange some money for a good year, so she moved the agarwood near the stove. , intended to dry.

Early the next morning, the mother and son went to the town with wooden benches and pens and ink as usual. Fortunately, tomorrow was the Chinese New Year, and there was no one in the village going to the town. Except for their mother and son, there was only a mother and daughter, and Wooden Ji Ning It was also placed at the bottom of the back basket, with a layer of grass spread in the middle, so nothing could be seen from the outside.

In the past few days, many people in the village knew that they went to the town every morning to sell couplets. The woman was not familiar with the Jin family before, but she couldn't help being jealous of their business.

"Damn bastard, I heard that you go to the town to sell couplets every day, and you pay six cents for a pair of couplets. You must have made a lot these few days, right?"

"Where is it? Don't look at what we sell is more expensive than usual, but if you think about it, my Heng'er goes to school. Shuxiu costs four taels a year. The business of this couplet is only a few days a year. No matter how much money you make, it can only be enough for him." Buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

The man thought about it for a while and felt that it was the same reason. Although Jin Heng had only studied for half a year now, Shuxiu only had two taels of silver, not to mention books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which were all money. Not only did their family not make money, but they also lost money.

However, after only half a year of study, he can come out to make money. The days to come are so long, maybe even more money will be made. Reading is really good. No wonder the village chief’s family wants to let his grandson study to save money.

Fortunately, her family is a girl, so she doesn't need to study, and she can earn a lot of gift money in the future.

The woman regained her composure and did not speak to her again.

The two separated when they reached the town, and Ji Ning led Jin Heng straight to the pharmacy.

In fact, it is the best choice to sell this kind of precious wood to a carpenter's shop, but there is no ax at home, and the hatchet is a little rusty, so the branches she cut down are not strong enough, and it is estimated that it will not be able to carve anything if it is used for wood carving, but The estimated price for making medicinal materials will be higher.

Moreover, they have cooperated with the pharmacy for so long, and the other party is also trustworthy, and they are not afraid of lowering the price or revealing their wealth.

As Ji Ning expected, she didn't know how to deal with the agarwood, but fortunately, it was dried a bit, and it was much better than when it was just cut. In the end, the pharmacy gave them 20 taels of silver.

20 taels of silver was a lot to them. Although they had spent more than 20 taels these years, every time they got the money, Ji Ning would find reasons to spend it within a few days, making Jin Heng anxious all the time about how to make more money next time much money.

Now seeing 20 taels of silver, Jin Heng's anxious heart finally fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ji Ning directly taught him the purse containing 20 taels: "Mother, after thinking about it, we discovered this branch by accident. We both spent a lot of effort when we felled the tree. You are now He is a little man now, and can help mother with a lot of work, so mother decided to hand over the 20 taels of silver to you."

Jin Heng hastily put the purse in his arms, crossing his arms for fear of being coveted.

"By the way, mother remembers that you said before that when you make money, you should honor mother well. Mother is feeling very tired recently and wants to buy someone to serve you. What do you think?"

Jin Heng subconsciously clutched his purse, and the sense of crisis that he was about to spend the money before he got it made him feel a little heartbroken again.

Thinking of Ji Ning's hard work in the past few years, Jin Heng also feels a little bit sorry: "Then how much money do you need to buy someone to serve you?"

"I don't know either. Let's go to the dental store to have a look when the couplets are sold out."

It was the same today, the couplets were sold out at noon, the two of them first went to eat a bowl of simmered noodles, and were about to go straight to the tooth shop, but Ji Ning saw the little beggar from yesterday again.

Regarding anti-corruption, he was standing in a corner not far away. Seeing Ji Ning's eyes looking over him, he was about to step forward, but seeing Ji Ning lowered his head and continued to eat noodles, he couldn't help but pause, full of disappointment. Back to the corner.

Jin Heng saw that he opened his mouth, but he didn't act recklessly after all. He followed Ji Ning to the dental shop and bought a childless woman surnamed Meng for six taels of silver.

When they left the dental shop, the little beggar was still waiting outside, and when he saw them coming out, he hurriedly followed behind.

The two walked to the gate of the city, Ji Ning paid the money first, let Jin Heng and the woman get on the bullock cart first, then turned and walked towards the little beggar.

"You have been following us since yesterday, what do you want to do?"

"I, I want to thank you."

The little beggar took a step back and stretched out his fist towards her: "Here, here you are, two meat buns."

Two meat buns?
No matter how Ji Ning looked at it, it was impossible for his dirty little hand to grab the two meat buns, so he stretched out his hand to catch them.

The little beggar grinned, loosened his fist, and dropped a thumb-sized jade pendant from his small hand. It looked a little dirty, but from the exposed part, one could still tell that the jade was transparent, no matter how you looked at it, it was more than four lines money.

"I can't have this." Ji Ning frowned, and put the jade pendant in his hand, "I don't ask where you got this thing, but this thing is quite valuable."

"You can find a fair pawnshop to exchange for some broken silver, or throw it away. It's better than making people think you have money to kill yourself."

"No, no," the little beggar waved his hand, refusing to take the jade pendant, "This is mine, I'll give it to you, thank you for helping me."

After finishing speaking, the little beggar was about to turn around and leave. Ji Ning smiled and did not catch up. He lowered his head to look at the jade pendant in his hand and put it in his purse.

The Jin family has a lot of houses. After all, when the original owner's husband was alive, they had a good life in the village and built several rooms. They originally planned to work harder with the original owner, but before they had time, they let the original owner go. became a widow.

　Oh my god, I got up early in the morning and was told by my friends that I wanted to buy a mask, but there was still [-] in stock a second ago, and after a moment of hesitation, it was out of stock in an instant. Oh my god, I dare not go out! ! !
