107.
The Dong village in late autumn is very leisurely. After cleaning up the few terraced fields, the farm work of a year will be completed.
However, it was not time to rest, and the villagers still had to work hard while it had not snowed yet.
Digging kudzu roots, digging herbs, chopping wood, hunting, hunting walnuts, and trapping pheasants. As long as you are willing to do, there will always be endless things to do.
Of course, this is a light work than serving the fields.
As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water. If mountain people want to make money and buy salt, they can only rely on the mountains to find investment.
According to previous years, the villagers in the village entered the mountain after the frostfall. Only after the frostfall could many things in the mountain reach the temperature.
But now, they no longer care about it.
Because in the village, a new merchant who is not good at doing business has arrived.
This person seems to have just entered the industry, and he is not very good at speaking and bargaining. As long as the villagers persist for a while, they can always get a advantage.
This is not a merchant, it is simply a fat sheep delivered to you!
However, in two days, the news of Xiao Feiyang coming spread throughout the village, and those who had mountain goods were all sold at a good price in the hands of that person.
After tasting the sweetness, everyone decided to go into the mountains earlier this year and not let the fat sheep run away.
As for killing and robbing people, everyone never thought about it.
Although I made a profit for a while when I was doing a poor business, I really didn’t come and I didn’t send it that day.
After all, no one wants to buy a needle or sell a penis, and they have to walk a hundred miles of mountain road.
———
A Ke was dressed in a blue cloth dress, with a blue apron on his waist, and brown-soled cloth shoes on his feet, dressed like a Dong girl.
The dark and bright hair was wrapped tightly in an indigo veil. Although this look was less charming than usual, it had a bit more alien style.
She held the coarse pottery soup basin, hummed the Dong tunes softly, and walked out of the stove with brisk steps.
Seeing that the man was still busy, he shouted to the door: "Brother Chen, it's time to eat."
"Here's here."
Listening to the lark-like voice, Chen Chong felt a little better and took out a broken silver from his purse "graceful".
The old lady happily took the money, looked around four or five times before handing over a pile of Polygonatum as big as a fist.
Chen Chong took away Polygonatum and showed a straightforward smile as if he was stupid, but he was cursing in his heart.
Before, one of the peddlers counted one, and none of them were good things!
The profitable businessman is not a human being!
Such a good wild Polygonatum, those guys actually only published twenty cents!
What can Twenty-wen do?
If you say more, you can buy a pound of salt.
You should know that raw medicine is the most authentic. After this wild mountain product is dry, it is worth the same amount of gold when you get it in the capital.
The profits are hundreds of times less!
Is there any other kingly law?
Is there any law?
A bunch of beasts!
Although he despised his colleagues in his heart, Chen Chong felt a little secretly happy after taking a big advantage.
Wild Polygonatum with a big fist is extremely rare. Holding this treasure is even more enjoyable than holding a gold ingot with a big fist.
In a good mood, he didn't care about the embarrassment, and he coaxed the grandma away in a few words.
After I couldn't see the old lady's back, I happily closed the door and carried the bamboo basket back to the main hall for dinner.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw A Ke put on the dishes and chopsticks. At this moment, he was squatting in front of the fire nest in a corner of the main hall, holding the fire and fiddling with the burning charcoal.
There was a wooden rack on the charcoal, and a large bamboo basket was placed on the rack, which contained a lot of medicinal materials.
In addition to Polygonum multiflorum, Gastrodia elata, Polygonatum, and even a few wild ginseng trees.
These good things are all sold by the villagers in the village. For these medicinal materials, Chen Chong also sprinkled a lot of coins in the Dong village.
The girl turned over the charcoal and after making sure the medicinal materials were not baked, she returned to the table and picked up a bowl to serve the rice for the man.
After glanced at the charcoal fire, Chen Chong casually pointed: "Girl, charcoal fire is the best for baking medicinal materials, and among the many charcoals, camphor wood is the best, hazel wood is the second, and pine and cypress are the lowest.
If you can't grasp the heat, try it with the back of your hand. As long as you can feel the heat just right and the skin cannot be painful, the firepower will be enough."
"I remember!"
A Ke responded, smiled and brought the meal to the man, and the joy on his face was almost overflowing.
Seeing her acting so strangely, Chen Chong couldn't help but feel confused - the style of this kind of virtuous wife and mother seemed to be inconsistent with A Ke's style!
After sniffing the rice suspiciously, Chen Chong always felt a little chilling on his back.
A Ke didn't want to murder his husband, right?
As the saying goes, it can’t be!
Since I moved into the small house, this girl has been feeling better every day. She doesn't seem to be sorry for her, right?
These days, I received goods during the day, and pretended to be fooled by the young and strong people in the village into the mountain, and at night I went to explore the Shenlong Sect. It can be said that I was so busy that I couldn't get a deal.
Even if there is little interaction, how could A Ke suddenly become murderous?
After thinking about it, Chen Chong always felt that he couldn't figure it out, so he subconsciously looked up at A Ke.
But he never expected that A Ke was looking at him, and the two of them were facing each other.
Oh, Brother Chen’s eyes are so terrible!
As the man stared at him, A Ke quickly buried his head in the bowl, feeling like he was hit by a deer in his heart.
Looking at the girl's cheeks gradually dyed blood, Chen Chong was a little confused - Could it be that I guessed wrong again?
Alas, my persecution is getting worse and worse.
After lunch in silence, the two of them became busy as if nothing had happened.
Chen Chong's afternoon work was still the same, and he went from village to household and encouraged the Dong people to go up the mountain, while A Ke continued to pack up the medicinal materials.
These medicinal materials are raw medicine, and they still carry mud when collected, and at least they have to be dried before they can be used.
Although the herbs that need to be steamed and dried are not as good as the sun, they must be dried first.
These days, the two of them have come here like this, which makes people feel strange as the male protagonist outside and the female protagonist inside.
Chen Chong took out the goods from his portable space and put the peddler's load in full, then he carried the load out.
"A Ke, I'm out."
Hearing Chen Chong's shouting, the girl chased after him as yesterday and hung a gourd full of bitter tea onto the burden.
Looking at the man's heroic face, the girl suddenly lowered her eyelids and whispered: "Brother Chong, be careful outside, you must come back early."
Chen Chong was stunned. Although A Ke had sent him out before, he had never said that he would be instructed to travel far away.
The man walked up to look carefully, and saw that the jade man's eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, and suddenly woke up.
He immediately put down his burden and hugged A Ke. Seeing that the girl had no intention of resisting, he immediately hugged her tightly in his arms.
Feeling the man's powerful hug, A Ke's heart was quiet, just like a small boat that had been wandering for many years, and finally found a good harbor that could shelter her from the wind and waves.
Chen Chong's hug was a little hard, but she was not disgusted at all. The pain from her body made the girl feel very real.
A Ke put his chin on the man's shoulder, twisted his neck comfortably, humming softly, and enjoying this long-awaited moment.
Suddenly, she shrank back and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chen, what's in your pocket? It seems to be pushing against me."
Chen Chong was slightly stunned and whispered to the girl with a wicked smile.
