Chapter 286 If I don’t pull the plow myself, who will?

"There are three main types of medicinal materials. Two are dug and one is picked. I'm afraid you won't be able to dig it when you first come. It will be bad if you damage the vine rhizomes. You can dig it again after you get familiar with it next year. This year, the boss and I will dig it and move it here. "

The main reason is that this year I need to buy back large quantities of mushrooms from the mall to replenish them. After the heavy rain, I have been earning hundreds of thousands of mushrooms. If I want to turn this money into cash, it is best to use it to buy yams and Polygonum multiflorum.

Yams grown artificially in large quantities with high yields are extremely cheap in shopping malls, which is equivalent to the price of vegetables.

But here you can make medicinal pastries and supplements at the price of medicinal materials! The price is incomparable to the price of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., but the price is worlds apart from the price of grain.

It has been sold several times before and has been cashed in for hundreds of taels. It is suitable for the development of crop cultivation.

In addition, the same is true for Polygonum multiflorum, which is even more economically valuable than yam. If yam is only a medicinal material, then Polygonum multiflorum was a real medicinal material in this dynasty, and it was also a valuable medicinal material.

The fresh ones can cost up to 200 cents per catty, the ones that are older, taller and in good condition can cost more than 400 cents per catty, and the prepared ones are even more expensive.

The good thing about having a long life is that you don’t have to plant it every year. You can put it in the ground and harvest it after a few years. It can be adjusted according to your own labor and market conditions. And most things depreciate the longer you put it, but Polygonum multiflorum grows in the ground, not only It does not need to depreciate but can increase in value as it ages!

Shui Qing had already thought about it. In the first few years, she and Fan Jin had to do most of the manpower shortage in the first few years, so she bought more from the mall to fill it up, so that the Polygonum multiflorum in her own field could stay in the field for as many years as possible, and wait for later. Once the scale is achieved, when others do it for you, you can harvest as many kilograms as you need. At that time, life should be easier without relying on shopping malls.

Not yet, she needs a mall, very much!

"good!"

"I know!" the women's loud replies echoed through the yard.

Everyone is full of energy.

The medicinal materials are valuable, and of course they are not clumsy. It would be a shame if they were killed and injured.

In the past, someone in the village went to Fucheng to listen to the story, and said that the storyteller said that there were special ginseng pickers, and they had to prepare red ropes to tie up the ginseng. They were afraid that the ginseng would run away, and not even a hair would be able to do it after it was tied up. Break! Once a beard is broken, the money is gone.

Their medicinal materials are not as expensive as ginseng, so they are not that particular, but you still need to pay attention to them. Doesn’t it mean that medicinal materials are all about their appearance and appearance? If the appearance is not good, the money will be lost.

If the money is gone, their wages will also be gone.

Seeing that everyone had heard clearly, Shui Qing continued to the next question: "The fruits picked are the size of fists. I went there two days ago and saw that the fruits are gradually turning red. When you pick, pick the red fruits first and wait for the ones that follow. Continue after they are ripe, you know, picking them one by one?”

Uncle Ding said that green-skinned ones are better and have different tastes, but the nobles in Jinling City like to drink red-skinned ones, so red-skinned ones are more expensive.

If you want to make more money, sell red leather ones.

Who doesn’t want to make more money? She doesn’t know about others, but she does this just to make money! Make a lot of money!

Of course you have to adapt to the market.

"Understand!"

"I know how to pick fruits. I used to be very good at picking fruits in the mountains."

Can fruits also be medicinal materials?

Don’t all medicinal materials grow underground?

Wang Guifen, Aunt Li and others looked confused, and then they thought that it was no wonder they were poor. Even if there were mountains of gold and silver in front of them, they didn't recognize them.

I heard that Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding discovered the medicinal materials of the Shuiqing family, and then they planted and expanded them according to the records in the books. Sure enough, reading more and being more literate is still useful!

Shui Qing warned again: "Don't throw away the green ones you picked, bring them back together and make them. Do you understand?"

Adapting to the market is important, but sometimes it’s also necessary to nip problems in the bud!

Red leather is expensive because today’s nobles in Jinling City like to drink it, but what if one day they stop drinking red leather and prefer green leather?

Or maybe they are no longer nobles, and a new group of people have become nobles?

Therefore, green peel is also needed. Fortunately, the older the tangerine peel is, the better it gets. The longer it is stored, the more expensive it becomes.

However, it is not easy to preserve it well. It requires a lot of warehouses.

I don’t know what happened when Fan Jin talked to the men in the village about building a house.

Here Shui Qing was holding a mobilization meeting with the women in the village, and over there Fan Jin came to the village and discussed building a factory in the yard of the old village chief's house.

Most of the women in the village went to their homes, and all the men who stayed in the village were men.

Li Wen took the lead and said without saying a word: "Okay! My family will use your donkey for seven days. We agreed that one day would be worth three days. Do you think we three brothers will do it together for seven days, or will we do it alone for 21 days?"

Xu Laosan followed closely: "My family also used it for seven days. How do you think I can pay it back?"

Other men responded one after another.

Donkey is so useful! Men like them can plow more than half an acre in one day. Those who can plow one acre are considered capable by the whole village!

But donkeys can easily farm two or three acres of land a day. In other words, if they use donkeys to work with them, they still make a profit.

Especially building a house is much easier than pulling a plow. Pulling a plow is really hard and tiring, and you have to work hard, otherwise it won’t be able to pull it. It’s like carrying a big bag, but it’s not necessary to build a house. It’s mostly a matter of cleverness. become.

Moreover, Fan Jinjia's plow is also very easy to use. It can also turn its head in both directions. When plowing to the edge, there is no need to lift it and change directions, and it can go back and forth directly!

It is easy to use and lightweight. It is very useful. Anyway, compared with Fan Jin's, I feel like I have to throw away everything in my house!

I have learned a lot.

Fan Xiaoliu looked at Fan Jin with admiration and said boldly: "Brother Jin, when my family has money, I must replace your plow, exactly the same! This way, I won't have to work so hard to pull the plow in the future."

Li Wu couldn't help laughing.

Fan Xiaoliu was dissatisfied and glared at him: "Brother Wu, aren't you? How dare you laugh at me!"

He knew that everyone in the village wanted to replace the same plow as Brother Jin!

Li Wu said with a smile: "Of course I am! But I laugh at you for wanting to pull the plow yourself when you have money!"

Fan Xiaoliu was confused: "If I don't pull the plow myself, who will?"

"Of course it's the donkey."

"How come you don't know yet? We are all waiting for the donkey of Brother Fan's family to give birth! In the future, we can not only replace the plow, but also have donkeys to plow the land!"

"Yes, I have heard about it. Let's raise it for two years, and in two years, we can have donkeys to plow the land."

The men who knew about it talked one after another, and those who didn't know about it were like Fan Xiaoliu, who was confused at first, then opened their eyes wide, and finally smiled like a flower.
