Chapter 344: Harvest
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The honey would be kept for themselves to eat, or saved as presents after selling more than 50 kgs to Mingren Tang.
The other medical herbs were growing well, but they could only be harvested every third year.
With Qiao Xuan’s superpower, they could be harvested every second year. But she did not want to overdo it, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.
The gastrodia dug from the mountains had already grown. After speaking with Manager Qin, Qiao Xuan asked Ms. Xu to harvest more than one mu of it.
The gastrodia grew very well, and they had harvested more than 500 kgs from one mu.
It was of great quality too.
They obtained more than 2,300 liang at one go.
Manager Qin got so happy and expressed that they should sell as many of these plants as possible in the future.
Qiao Xuan gave Ms. Fang 200 liang and 150 liang to everyone except for Eldest Uncle. Qi and Taotao got the biggest portion whilst Shao Dalang and Shao Sanlang as well as their wives received an equal amount.
Everyone was very happy, and Ms. Xu could not help but start to count the money she had saved in the room.
Yang Xiaoni and Shao Sanlang got so excited that they talked about going into the town and buying some food to eat. But before they were done with discussion, Ms. Fang took away half of the savings and saved it up.
Qiao Xuan counted her savings and found that she had 6,300 liang in total.
Good… Qiao Xuan smiled. It had indeed been a great year.
The roses could still bloom two times. After they bloomed, they needed to be pruned again, and her superpower could be applied to let them continue to flourish in the winter with energy. What she needed to do was to wait for the coming year when big and gorgeous flowers would grow vividly.
She needed to go back and work on the lipsticks.
Ms. Xu, Yang Xiaoni and Taotao were all ready to help Qiao Xuan with that. They were very occupied, but it was highly motivating as well.
They could earn 40 won a day! They could earn a lot already but this was another way of making money.
When the first batch of lipstick was made, the flowers were trimmed, nourished with water. Also, Qiao Xuan put some of her superpower in it. As a result, after two weeks, the last batch of the lipsticks of the year could be put into production.
She calculated and realized that they could make more than 1,500 in total.
In that way, she could get more than tens of thousands of liang in properties.
When the first batch of lipsticks were made, the rice was ready to be harvested.
Autumn harvest was a busy period and much more tiring compared to spring plowing. The most feared thing when drying the grain was the rain. But in this season, a dark cloud and a shower often came, exhausting people.
Every household was praying to Heaven to bestow good weather upon them. They would not feel relieved until they had the sun-dried grains put away in the storage.
If it rained during the sun drying, the millet would turn black, and the accumulated millet would ferment and then germinate, which was equivalent to complete waste.
During the autumn harvest, everyone was racing against time to get good weather. Therefore, even if they had money and wanted to hire someone to harvest, it was very difficult to book the laborers on time.
The first section of the family was lucky to have managed to hire people, who worked for them for two days, and the grains were all brought in.
The whole family went into the field. While Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang took care of young babies and made food at home, doing all kinds of housework, Taotao, Qi and Shao Yunduan went into the field and worked hard..
