Traveling through ancient times

On the way, Gu Dalian asked the questions in her heart!

Luo Feimo explained: "Black bears are hard to hunt nowadays. Although bear skins are good things, they are not particularly rare!"

"The reason why this bear skin is worth 50 taels is because its fur is thick, black and shiny, and it is also quite large! The meat is not valuable, the most valuable part is the four paws! Also, the price offered by Shopkeeper Zhao is too high!"

In the dark, there was a shadow following him, listening to his master talking, wondering, “Is this still the same quiet master?

After hearing what Luo Feimo said, Gu Dalian suddenly understood!

When they went back and told the village head Zhang about the money, the head was so happy that he bounced from side to side. You know, the bear meat is money, and this money will benefit the village!

This time, Gu Wenzhi went to the town alone, weighed 430 kilograms, paid 86 taels of silver, and it was already afternoon when he returned to the village!

When the villagers heard that the meat had been sold, those who had nothing to do waited at the main gate of the village. When they saw Gu Wenzhi come in, they followed him into the yard.

I heard with my own ears that the silver was sold for 82 taels, and then one 50 tael note, one 20 tael note, one 10 tael note, and an ingot of 2 taels of silver were given to the head of the village. Everyone exclaimed in surprise!

The head of the Zhang family, Zhang Baolai, who was 68 years old, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground! Everyone was so shocked that they quickly took a deep breath and helped him to the kang!

Waiting for the old man to slowly wake up, he took a long breath, pulled Gu Wenzhi in front of him, and looked him up and down: "Well, you are really good kids! You are the lucky stars of our Cuiyu Village!"

From then on, several people became famous because of the battle with the blind bear. They became famous because they were not greedy for wealth and honor, and donated the money earned from selling bear meat to the public!

When Zhang Cai brought back the sixteen taels of silver in the evening, no one could suppress their emotions anymore. Some were talking and laughing, while others were even crying and saying how lucky they were that they were born in Cuiyu Village!

This night is not peaceful! Having no money brings troubles, and having money also brings troubles!

The next day, Zhang Fa went out with two dark circles under his eyes, and he attracted 100% of the attention! Some people even joked:

"Hey, head of the village, did you steal the cow last night?" Zhang Fa was not angry, but said with a smile: "It's because of the silver that you are making trouble!"

There is one more thing I didn’t say. I kept the silver with me all night and was worried that thieves would come and steal it. It was a huge sum of money!

They went directly to the Xiao Gu family's courtyard. They had just finished their meal. Seeing the appearance of the head of the village, Gu Dalian could not hold back any longer:

"Uncle Lizheng, please don't tell me that you didn't sleep all night because you were afraid that the money would be stolen."

Zhang Fa was not afraid of being laughed at, he just laughed:

"Miss Dalian is right. If this continues for another two days, I'll be so dizzy that I won't be able to do anything!"

"I just came here to discuss this with you. You can't just leave this money like this!"

Gu Dalian was not polite: "Excuse me, Uncle Lizheng, how many children are there in our village, and how many of them are studying?"

Zhang Fa thought for a moment and said, "There are 63 families in our village, and there are about a hundred children! Uncle Nian has three or four children!..." After hearing this, Zhang Fa realized, "You mean to hire a teacher to teach the children to read?"

"Yes, think about it, the same person goes out to find a job, one can read and the other can't. Do you think the employer wants the one who can read or can't read?"

"Besides, we don't need to hire a very good teacher. Even a student will do. He can just teach the children!" After a pause, Gu Dalian continued:

"What if someone with a bright mind goes to a private school in the future, but the teacher gives him an exam and he knows nothing? He will be rejected!"

"The teacher will charge at most three taels of silver a month for teaching for a year. If you can't bear to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone, you can practice calligraphy on the sand pile. After you are good at it, you can use a pen!"

Zhang Fa pondered for a long time, felt a little moved, stopped talking, sat quietly for a while, and then went back to find the patriarch!

Gu Dalian didn't worry about the rest of the matters. The brothers and sisters went to Widow Sun's house to borrow shovels and hoes, and turned over a large piece of open space next to the well at the east end of the yard!

I turned over the lime stored in the space where the wood ash was mixed, and then sprinkled the organic fertilizer over again... The stench that entered my head was so bad! I'll wait for it to ferment for a few days before I do anything else!

The medicine drying racks have been placed in the southwest of the yard, and four baskets of fungus are hung on them to dry. Even if they are not sold, they can be stored after being dried!

Although I have the money to purchase the land, I still need money for the subsequent seeds and the labor costs of hiring people to replant the land. Everything costs money!

Originally, he was planning to use the gold and silver in the cave, but ever since Gu Dalian felt that she had traveled through time and space and was shouldering a heavy responsibility, he gave up the idea!

Not only must you be self-reliant, but you must also lead the villagers towards prosperity step by step!

If I have the ability, I will rely on the various knowledge I have learned to make Rongguo a powerful country that is not looked down upon by others!

Thinking about the rules of crossing again, at least for now, I am already lucky to have prey and medicinal herbs in the mountains! At most, I can go into the mountains a few more times to find some good medicinal herbs!

Gu Dalian thought of selling recipes again. Isn’t this a necessary skill for a time traveler?

After thinking about it carefully, there aren’t many dishes in this era, and most of them are meat-based, so I’ll think of a few more meat recipes!

If you want to sell your house, you don’t have to go there specifically. Just go to the mountains to find some medicinal herbs first!

The family of four discussed it, including little Gu Lun. When he heard that they were going into the mountains, his face collapsed and he said, "I agree to go into the mountains, but I also want to follow you!"

The black eyes looked at Gu Dalian pitifully! Although Aunt Sun was a good person, she was not as close as my brothers and sisters!

Gu Dalian hurriedly picked up little Gu Lun, pinched his little face and said, "If our Xiao Lun wants to come, just take us with you!" The main topic today is medicinal herbs, so it wouldn't hurt to take the child with us!

Several people each carried a backpack, put little Gu Lun in it, and then carried Gu Wenzhi on his back, and then they quickly moved towards the mountains!

The mountain we visited today was adjacent to the one we visited the day before yesterday. The mountain was not too high, and there were unknown wild flowers and wild grasses blooming beautifully along the way. There was also a small stream winding down from the mountainside, and the whole mountain was covered with green trees!

If she hadn't wanted to harvest herbs, Gu Dalian would have wanted to stay here longer!

They picked a lot of fangfeng, angelica, and codonopsis along the way. After walking for two hours, they sat on a hillside. Gu Dalian took out mineral water and meat buns and ate and drank slowly!

The whole family is here, so there is no rush to go back! It’s so comfortable to be able to work and play at the same time!

They were chatting and laughing happily when Xiaolian, who went to the side to urinate, suddenly cried out "Ouch!". Several people hurried over and saw Gu Xiaolian staring at her raised hand, not knowing what she was looking at!

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I just wasn't paying attention and got stabbed by that tree!"

When they looked over, they saw several trees behind them, more than three or four meters high, with thick brown-gray branches and large thorns slanting upwards, covered with numerous fruits, some of which were dark red, some of which were light yellow, like stars, and were particularly eye-catching among the green leaves. That unique fragrance filled the air!

Gu Dalian was delighted. It was really what she thought! When she was making meat dishes before, she would secretly put the peppercorns in because she didn’t know where to get them. She would take them out when the dishes were cooked!

Now, there are both Chinese prickly ash trees and Chinese pepper trees here. God has been very kind to me!

No matter what dish you cook, Sichuan pepper is essential! This species is only available in pharmacies and is very rare!

Gu Dalian took out three pairs of scissors from the space, stuffed a handful of dried fruits into little Gu Lun's pockets, and put them aside!

Now Qinggong came in handy! He jumped up, dodged the big buds under the big pepper spikes, and slowly cut the pepper spikes, while teaching the brother and sister experience!

After the three of them got used to it for a while, they all started to move their hands! An hour later, the herbs entered the space, and the three baskets were full! Then they went to the pepper tree and showed off their skills!
