Chapter 31: They Did It!
The family gathered around the table and counted copper copper coins. The atmosphere was very good, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.
Looking at them, Wen Nuan thought of the one who was still one missing. When they bring Wen Rou home, this family will be complete.
The copper coins were quickly counted, and Wen Nuan calculated the various expenses. Today they sold five large barrels of snails, at just over sixty bowls per barrel. Excluding the cost price of free samples and seasoning, plus Steward Yuan's two teals of silver, they made a total of six hundred and seventy copper coins from selling snails!
Wen Jiarui bought ten catties of rice noodles, various seasonings, and sauces for a total of two hundred and seventy copper coins. Rice noodles were all bought at a low price.
Wen Nuan bought three old books for a hundred copper coins.
"Today, we made a net profit of one hundred silver taels and three hundred copper coins.”
Wen Luo: "That He Shou Wu is really worth a lot of money! From now on, we will go up the mountain to find He Shou Wu to sell."
"Do you think that a hundred and twenty year old He Shou Wu is so easy to find? Most of the young He Shou Wu on the mountain have already been dug up!" Madam Wang scolded.
Wen Luo rubbed his head and smiled.
Wen Nuan: “It’s good luck to be able to sell He Shou Wu for a hundred taels of silver, and that was probably only in consideration of dad's face. Otherwise, my guess is it would only sell for a few dozen taels at most."
However, that He Shou Wu has been raised by her purple qi. It is absolutely unique in this world. It is not comparable to ordinary hundred and twenty year old He Shou Wu. Master Liu is not losing out!
Wen Jiarui smiled and waved his hand: "Sister Nuan can talk. I heard Second Brother say that Liu Yuanwai was happy because you coaxed him and talked me up."
After shopping, he happened to pass by the pharmacy on the way to Fugui Restaurant, and went in to see if the children had gone. Second Brother told him about the matter.
However, hearing Wen Nuan say that, he felt very comforted in his heart.
Sister Nuan’s mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!
Holding up a string of heavy copper coins, Wen Hou happily said: "Selling snails earns more than six hundred copper coins a day. That's more than going to work in town! We will sell snails in the future!"
Wen Luo nodded: "Today, Shitou laughed and said that our family must be starving, so we gathered snails and ate garbage! Next time he laughs at me, I will tell him that fried snails can make money!"
Wen Nuan didn’t care too much. When the people in the village saw their family gathering snails, they indeed whispered secretly that their family was starving.
But after a few days, it is estimated that many people will also gather snails.
Wen Jiarui: "Selling snails is not a long-term solution. The method of cleaning snails is simple, and someone will soon figure it out. We can only make a few days of quick money while the farmers are busy."
After listening to this, Wen Hou's original flying heart calmed down: "It's too difficult to find a long-term plan to make money!"
Madam Wang is still open-minded: “It’s good to be able to make quick money in a few days! Today’s earnings are more than many people earn in their entire lives!”
Madam Wu: Yes! Besides, even if we can't sell snails in the future, we can sell medicinal materials. On our blessed land, ginseng and ganoderma can be grown. Are you afraid of not making money?"
"Yes, my mother is so smart, we can sell medicinal materials! Those medicinal materials are the most valuable!"
Everyone is full of hope waiting for the ginseng and ganoderma in the corner of the yard to grow.
Wen Xin said blankly: "What ginseng?"
On the way back, Eldest Brother and Sister Nuan only talked about moving, and selling snails and He Shou Wu to earn money. Wen Xin feels that many things have changed when she came home this time.
Wen Ran explained about the ginseng matter.
Wen Xin was surprised, it turns out that sometimes things turn around, and there is sweetness after an abyss of suffering.
Wen Nuan: "Okay, now we have money. Buying land and building a house is first on the agenda."
The words "buying land and building a house" shocked everyone.
The six words "buying land and building a house" has never been an easy task over the ages!
How many people have struggled all their lives for this?
But they did it!
Sister Nuan took them from being kicked out of their home until now, and she did it in just a few days!
Madam Wang cried with excitement: "Okay, okay..."
Wen Nuan saw Madam Wang's tears, and although she knew it was crying with joy, it was inevitable to think of the pain before, so she deliberately laughed and said: "Grandma, remember to find someone to call you ancestor! I want to hear it."
The whole family laughed.
"You child!" Madam Wang's voice was choked up, and she wiped away tears as a genuine smile broke across her face.
――
In the afternoon, those who bought land and those who gathered snails were all busy.
And the big bad wolf also came to pick up Wen Nuan to go up the mountain.
On the mountain...
Steward Yuan knocked on the door of the study: "Master, Miss Wen is here!"
Nalan Jinnian was leaning back in his chair lazily, his face clear and charming.
He was resting one of his long arms casually on a golden nanmu desk, his white and clean knuckles against the yellow tone of the wood looked slender and sexy.
At this moment, he is listening to Lin Tingxuan's report on the Xirong people.
There is a drawing on the table with a crossbow sketched out.
This is the exterior design plan of the Xirong's invincible twenty shot crossbow that Ling Tingxuan brought back from the border.
The Xirong's continuous crossbow is extremely lethal and has a long range. In these years, their people had fallen to the Xirong more than once because of this powerful crossbow.
This is the drawing Lin Tingxuan stole back at the risk of death, but it is only part of the design plans.
Nalan Jinnian sat up straight after listening to Steward Yuan's words. The left hand that was lying on the table was also put down, and the indifferent and cold aura from his body seemed to fade a lot: "Let her in."
Lin Tingxuan: "..."
Who is this sacred person? Who can make Prince Jin move to such a dignified posture?
Prince Jin wasn't so polite in front of either the Emperor or the Empress Dowager!
Nalan Jinnian said to Lin Tingxuan: "Take these plans to the Wubei Institute, so that the people there can study it as soon as possible. You have been exposed among the Xirong, so you don't have to go back. Enjoy a rest period while I make other arrangements.”
Lin Tingxuan folded the drawing and tucked the paper in his sleeve: "Okay, then I will go back to the capital first."
"Hmm."
The door of the study was pushed open at this time, and Steward Yuan walked in with Wen Nuan.
Lin Tingxuan had turned around and was just about to leave. When he saw that the person was actually Wen Nuan, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but his facial expression was covered by his beard.
Wen Nuan was also quite surprised to see Lin Tinxuan here, and she smiled faintly: "Master, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
Nalan Jinnian raised his eyebrows. Lin Tingxuan had just returned from the border. How did the two meet?
Lin Tingxuan nodded: "It's really a coincidence, the world is so small. I'm afraid there is still something I have to do, I must say farewell.”
Wen Nuan nodded: "Then Young Master, walk slowly."
Lin Tingxuan strode away.
Steward Yuan was very curious how was it that Wen Nuan had already met Young Master Lin. He couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Miss Wen knows Young Master Lin?"
Nalan Jinnian also looked over.
The big bad wolf looked at her too.
"At the restaurant today around noon, my second sister was wronged. Young Master Lin gave a testimony to help us out of our troubles." Wen Nuan explained briefly.
"So that's the case." Nalan Jinnian said. He had been wondering how a rural girl like Miss Wen might know Young Master Lin.
But why is this girl's Wen Family always being bullied?
Wen Nuan smiled, and then looked at Nalan Jinnian: "Seventeenth Young Master, can we start? Let me take your pulse first?
