Chapter 365

Pointing to the last two rows, Ling Jingxuan turned back and said to them, in fact, this was basically given to them for free, since they were already big enough.

“Hmm, we’ll move them back with the ox cart. Zhou Er, sorry to trouble you again.”

Knowing that Ling Jingxuan had his way to shut their mouth even if they refused, so Han Fei directly accepted them, like last time when they got six hundred taels of silver for selling the fruit vinegar.

“What are you talking about, Master Han? That’s our job. Dad, you go get the ox cart with Uncle Song. I’ll move some out first.”

Zhou Er dare not accept Han Fei’s thank you. So after finishing those words, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to work. Zhao Dalong and Han Fei also joined without saying anything. Soon they all started to be busy. Two rows of ground substances were a lot. So it took them a few times using the ox cart.

“Big brother, so those black things are the black fungus you used to cook with the meat?”

After those ground substances were all moved out, those woods lying below were exposed, on the woods already grew full of little black fungus. Ling Jingpeng ate some that time, so he still remembered what it tasted like.

“Well, the black fungus is also divided toxic and no-toxic. This kind is non-toxic, but better to dry them first. Eating too much fresh ones isn’t good for health. I don’t grow a lot this year, the main reason is the fostering thing in the beginning wasn’t smooth. But we can grow more in the future…”

Nodding, Ling Jingxuan squatted down and had looked at the tiny sized black fungus, it had taken him a lot of effort to cultivate them, and in each ground substance he added some crescent spring water, otherwise it wouldn’t be so smooth. After all, before this, he only knew a rough process and had never really done it before.

“How much can it get when it dries? Big brother, how about we keep them to ourselves to eat? It would take a long time to dry them, right?

Thinking of that taste, Ling Jingpeng was like having infected with the foodie genes from the small bun, slobbering, which even made Ling Jinghan and others who had never had a taste of it were all wondering how delicious it was. Ling Jingxuan only cooked once, that time when they went to the market to buy meat for the first time and Lady Jiang and her daughter came to make a scene. And since then, he had never cooked it again.

“Haha…I also think so, after they are ripe, I plan to dry them all and store them in the basement. Then when Spring Festival comes, I’ll ask someone to take some into the capital.”

Ling Jingxuan smiled, in a twinkling of an eye, Chu Yunhan and Yan’er had left for half a month, so they should have arrived in the capital now.

“Hmm, big brother, I really did not expect that you have breeded so many ground substances all by yourself, why didn’t you ask me to help?”

Speaking of here, Ling Jingpeng inevitably felt a little sad and distressed. His big brother was carrying too many things on his fragile shoulders, and he really wanted to share some of them.

“Do you think you can escape from it?”

Shaking his head while throwing him a stare, Ling Jingxuan said while walking, “From now on, you will follow me not only to familiarize with the fungi knowledge, but also learn to cultivate new spores, make ground substances, then transplant those germinated spores into the ground substances. After talking about the relevant matters of the purchasing thing with Shopkeeper Zhang, I will quit. Then be it picking, sending goods, discussing business outside, you all have to do it on your own. Jingpeng, I will leave the business of fungi and jam all to you. After the sorghums grow next year, it’s also all yours. The business of our family will all fall on your shoulders.”

As for the business of Baiyunge, of course all left to Zhang Qing. The school thing was written under his and Jinghan’s name temporarily. And it depended on the actual situation to decide whether he’d leave it all to Ling Jinghan to run himself or not. When this family was super rich, it was almost time for him to go to the capital. Except worrying about Yunhan and Yan’er, he had more important things to do.

“Well, big brother, I won’t let you down.”

Stopping his steps, Ling Jingpeng clenched his fists and wore a face of firmness. His big brother and second elder brother were both very capable, he would never fall behind.

“Hehe…don’t give yourself too much pressure, before that, I will first help you train a few right hands for you, delegate the authority when you have to, you just give orders.”

For his younger brothers, he had never felt disappointed, even if Ling Jinghan hadn’t taken the exam and he didn’t know whether he could get listed, while Ling Jingpeng was only like his assistant now, he still believed that they’d definitely succeed since they were both not fools. Both of them who would work harder than anyone else would definitely succeed some day!

“Hmm.”

Ling Jingpeng nodded, in the mind he was more determined to share the burden for his big brother. Although Ling Jinghan aside didn’t say anything, one could tell from his beaming eyes that he had also made up his mind in the heart quietly. His big brother and younger brother were both so capable, as a scholar of this family, he would study harder. Only if he got listed would his family win other’s respect!

One had to say they were really a family. That kind of emulative spirit was the same! Yan Shengrui who was standing aside keeping silent couldn’t help throwing them his appreciative eyes. A man should have such moral integrity! He was sure that some day, there would be a place for them in Qing Kingdom!
