Chapter 411 The meaning of each family
Chu Xueqin thought that Chu Xing's admiration for Chu Heng was really possible, so he replied: "Okay, then I will buy some for my third brother first."
The three of them had just said a few words when Mrs. Qian came over with a money bag.
She stuffed the money bag into Chu Xueqin's hand: "There is a tael of silver in it, and a hundred copper plates. If it is not enough, you can ask your mother to fill it up when you come back. Go quickly."
"Okay." Chu Xueqin didn't delay, went back to the room and took some money, and went out.
He wore a straw hat on his head and walked straight to Chaishan's location.
There is a small river in front of Chaishan Mountain, the river is not deep in summer, and he did not take off his shoes and wade directly across the river like those big boys, but bypassed the nearby Chaishan Mountain.
From a distance, you can see Chu Hengchai Mountain, many men are dividing hoes, and each has a division of work.
The saplings were all taken off the mule cart and placed at the foot of Chaishan Mountain.
Seeing the actions of the men helping to dig the ground and plant trees, Chu Xueqin was startled.
He originally thought that these people were invited by Ah Heng to deliver the saplings, but who would have thought that they would actually help dig up the land. Could it be that the day laborers in the town are working so hard?
Chu Xueqin approached, and Lu Chuan was finishing ordering everyone to do their work.
Seeing Chu Xueqin coming, he recognized him at a glance. After all, Chu Xueqin has been helping Chu Xing build a house for more than a month, and he is next door to Chu Heng's house every day.
In addition, he deliberately remembered the whole village.
Lu Chuan went up to meet him, "Ninth Master, are you here to buy sanshos?"
Since Wufang’s family has a good relationship with his wife and master, Lu Chuan is also happy to give him face, and he speaks a lot of politeness, but Wu San can’t help but look at Chu Xueqin a few more times.
Chu Xueqin is not very old, only twenty-five, ranking ninth in the clan, and he has never been called a master by anyone on weekdays, so he is somewhat unaccustomed to it.
"You can just call me brother Xueqin, I'm really here to buy sansho saplings." Chu Xueqin glanced at the sansho saplings next to him, and Wu San and others who were working quickly to dig a hole to plant trees, and hesitated For a moment, I didn't talk too much about the specific situation.
Instead, he said: "How many pepper saplings can be left?"
He had just finished asking, but Lu Chuan hadn't had time to answer.
People approached one after another.
"Xueqin, you came so fast." It was Mr. Kong from the fourth room who spoke.
Chu Xueqin turned around and hurriedly called out to his fourth aunt.
Mrs. Kong did not come alone, besides Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Chunsheng’s second wife.
Followed by Chu An from the big room and Chu Lin from the third room.
One person came to each room, which was better than Chu Xueqin imagined. He called people one after another.
Mr. Kong asked Lu Chuan directly: "How do you plant this sansho tree, but it will bear fruit this year?"
Lu Chuan replied patiently: "These pepper saplings have been growing for two or three years, and they will bear fruit by this time next year, but they will not succeed this year."
He didn't hide anything, and even made it very clear. As expected, Mrs. Sun frowned slightly.
Chu Xueqin took it over and said: "Speaking of which, my family also planted some. They were planted by Ah Xing when he was a child. Every summer, they can also be sold at the county pharmacy. The price is not bad. My siblings are very considerate. , These sansho saplings are not just born seedlings, otherwise it may take three or four years to wait for the fruit."
He is also reminding Mrs. Sun that it is also very precious to be able to buy saplings that will bear fruit next year, and it is not something that can be bought at will.
Mrs. Sun understood.
