Chapter 6 I want to go to school
Author: Tao Gepo
"Fifty cents is fifty cents, sell it."
Fifty cents is quite a lot, it can cover the wages of ordinary people for several days.
Runtu continued: "Sir, do you have any ginseng seeds here?"
"Yes. Do you want to plant ginseng? It's already June now. Generally, it is most suitable to plant it in April every spring, and it also requires ginseng soil. It takes a long time."
Runtu: "I need ginseng seeds. I can buy them for twenty cents."
The transaction was made quickly.
Runtu left the pharmacy with thirty coins and a small bag of ginseng seeds.
As soon as he went out, he scattered the seeds into the soil of the space.
With the success of Polygonum multiflorum, he believed that the ginseng plug-in could also surprise him.
After leaving the medicine hall, we went to a market in the county town.
All the salted fish were taken out.
In order to be able to go back earlier, he sold the salted fish at a lower price.
It was sold for three cents per catty, and the normal price was around five cents.
Sure enough, many city people come here to buy salted fish. There are a lot of salted fish in cities near the sea, but the price here in Runtu is relatively low, so it is still more popular.
He calculated that he had earned a total of one hundred and forty pennies today.
I walked nearly two hours back home with the money.
He kept thirty coins and gave the rest to his father.
The father was very surprised: "With so much money, all the salted fish have been sold out?"
Runtu nodded.
My father farmed and worked part-time, earning about 500 cash in a good month.
I never thought I could make more than a hundred cents in one day.
He has sold salted fish before, but the quantity sold was very small.
After counting the money, there were one hundred and ten coins. I felt something was wrong, "It must be more than that since they are all sold out."
He thought his son had been deceived and given less money.
Runtu: "Dad, I sell it for three cents per catty. I sell it cheaper so that everyone will buy my fish."
Small profits but quick turnover.
With the spatial ability, fishing has become extremely convenient now. If you want to catch it, you can catch hundreds of them in just half a day.
My father felt a little distressed after hearing what he said.
He knew the price of salted fish in the county, which was usually five cents per catty, but his son was sold for three cents. But he didn't say much, it was very good to have one hundred and ten cents. He
I don’t know why my son’s fishing harvest these days has been several times more than before.
Half a month later.
Runtu basically brings dozens of salted fish home every three days. He can't fish every day. The fishing nets are made of hemp fiber, which is easy to rot when wet. Therefore, the fishing nets are used for two days and then dried for three days to extend the use of the fishing nets.
Life span. Moreover, his fishing net has been used for a long time and has a long history. The time for drying the net needs to be longer.
My father and mother now spend more time making salted fish.
My father put aside the work of weaving bamboo baskets for the time being. He decided which was more important and which was more important. Now drying fish is more profitable than weaving bamboo baskets.
Runtu saw that the ginseng in the space had grown up, and there were seventy or eighty of them. With a time flow rate of one to one hundred, the ginseng in the space was almost five years old, and could be bought in the county. He had to let his family grow it as soon as possible.
Escape from poverty and become a wealthy family like Brother Xun and his family.
One morning.
"Dad, I will go to the county town again to sell salted fish."
"I'll go with you."
"Farewell. There are so many things going on at home, so I can go alone. Dad, you can just watch at home. With so much salted fish in the sun, both of us have gone out. What if the house is robbed?"
He didn't want his father to go with him.
Carrying seventy or eighty kilograms of salted fish, if his father was here, he would not be able to put such a heavy thing in the space. He would not die from exhaustion after carrying such a heavy thing for two hours. And he had to go there first.
The pharmacy in the county town is too inconvenient.
When he arrived at the county seat, Runtu went to the medicine hall from before.
The shopkeeper was somewhat impressed by Runtu who was selling Polygonum multiflorum and buying ginseng seeds for half a month.
"Shopkeeper, do you accept ginseng here?"
"Of course I'll accept it."
Runtu took out a ginseng and asked, "How much does this ginseng cost?"
The shopkeeper took the ginseng and took a magnifying glass to look at it: "It was just unearthed? The roots are so intact."
He measured the ginseng with his hand and said, "Three points and one inch, little brother, this ginseng is five years old. It's not wild ginseng, it was grown by you?"
"Shopkeeper, what you said is absolutely correct. Let's see what price we can offer?"
This medicine shop shopkeeper is indeed quite capable.
The shopkeeper took out a small scale and weighed it: "It weighs two taels of silver. In this way, I will give you three taels of silver."
"Only three taels?"
Runtu felt that the price was a bit low. In his impression, ginseng usually cost several hundred taels or even a thousand taels.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. This was only three taels of silver. It would cost an ordinary person several months' wages.
"Only three taels? It's not low. Not many of us in Kuaiji can afford the medicine of wealth. The price I gave is absolutely fair."
Runtu agreed: "Okay, just three taels of silver."
He looked at the more than seventy plants in the space. Each one was only three taels, and seventy was only two hundred taels. This was not much money. But he thought that if it continues to grow and the years increase, it will definitely become more valuable.
Take the money and leave.
I touched the silver and found three lumps. It is the late Qing Dynasty, silver has depreciated relatively, and its purchasing power is still very strong.
We continued to the original place and were selling salted fish, still priced at three cents per catty.
With the ginseng in space, he no longer cares how much money these salted fish can sell for.
No matter how good it is, it cannot compare to ginseng.
Are you thinking about what else you can grow in your space besides ginseng?
After thinking about it, I never thought that it could be more valuable than ginseng.
After selling the salted fish, he returned home again and gave the money to his father.
One night a few days later.
"Dad, I want to go to school."
Father Zhang was stunned when he suddenly heard what Runtu said. It took him a while to recover.
Runtu also studied some books before, but his academic performance was not good, so he gave up after only half a year.
Studying is a costly job, and now that Runtu is fifteen years old, he can be a laborer for the family. If he goes to school, life at home will be a little more difficult.
The current family conditions of the Zhang family are pretty good.
With six acres of thin sandy land, Zhang's father also had craftsmanship, and he also saved some money.
Father Zhang loved this child very much and asked with concern: "Have you thought about it?"
Runtu nodded: "Yes, Dad, I want to go to school. I have earned some money from fishing these days. I want to go to school to gain fame and provide a good life for my family."
There is no need to worry about tuition fees or anything else, the ginseng in the space is his confidence.
Zhang's father agreed to him: "Okay, dad supports you."
