19 poor people

The closer you get to this pile of firewood, the more intense the energy in Ji Nian's palm surging, just like a traveler who was extremely hungry in the desert suddenly found a sweet spring. The pile of firewood was neatly piled into a rectangle along the corner of the wall, so it was very convenient for Ji Nian to find the target.

According to the induction of the palm of the hand, in just a few minutes, the six seemingly inconspicuous wooden sections were pulled out. Among the entire firewood, only these six were red sandalwood, exactly the same as the one that Liu Guangli took away at first.

Although I found the six senses, unfortunately I was not very good in appearance, either too thick or too short, or too thin or too long. Of course, Ji Nian also knew that it was not realistic to find the complete wood.

After coming out of the toilet, Ji Nian walked to the yard with Liu Gen Mu Duan. After seeing his actions, Liu Guangli stopped the work at hand in confusion, stood up and asked, "Ji Nian, what are you doing? Do you want to bring some firewood to the mountain to cook? Don't worry, there is so much wood on the mountain, so you don't need to take it there specifically?"

"Brother Liu, this is true. I wonder if you still remember the piece of wood I took out of your medicine basket when I went to Zhonghai City two days ago?" Ji Nian put down the wooden branch and said with a smile.

"Well, yes, there is something happening." Liu Guangli nodded.

"That wood is unusual and is very useful to me. I just wanted to ask if there is still any at home. I didn't care if I've been busy with lectures. I just found that there were a few firewood piles on your house when I went to the toilet, so I'll take it over first."

"Brother Liu, say hello to you, give me these woods. Of course, I won't take it in vain, because I came in a hurry and I didn't bring much cash. There are a total of 6,000 yuan here. You can just buy the woods." As Ji Nian spoke, he took out an envelope from his backpack, which contained 6,000 yuan and handed it over directly.

This action immediately scared Liu Guangli. He shook his hand repeatedly and took a few steps to refuse, "Ji Nian, what are you doing? Isn't it just a few firewood? Even if you take away all the firewood, it doesn't matter. It's not worth much. There are so many on the mountain. You give me so much. I'm not slapping me in the face. Besides, I can't collect your money? Hold it away quickly, I can't ask for a penny of this money."

"Yes, child, please put it away quickly. We are poor and ambitious. If the villagers know that a few woods are sold for you for so much money, they will be stabbed by everyone. Our family will never raise their heads in Shitou Village for the rest of their lives." Zhou Lihua walked out of the kitchen after hearing the movement and said anxiously after seeing the situation.

"Hey, it's not what you think, listen to me."

After Ji Nian asked Zhou Lihua and Liu Guangli to sit down, he said to the two people calmly: "To be honest, Aunt Zhou, Brother Liu, the reason why I am interested in these six senses is because this is not ordinary wood, there is a unique mystery inside. I wonder if you have heard of red sandalwood?"

"Red sandalwood? What kind of wood is it? I haven't heard of it." Liu Guangli shook his head blankly.

Zhou Lihua also blinked her eyes, her face full of confusion.

Haven't heard of it? It's normal. The information of the villagers is relatively closed. It's good to be able to distinguish herbs. How can you figure out the difference between wood? But not knowing it does not mean that Ji Nian needs to choose to deceive or conceal it. This is not his personality.

Even if he makes money, he has to make an open and honest work. This does not mean that he has picked up bargains in the antique market, that is a gap in his eyesight, nor does it mean that the wood he has picked up on the mountain, but it should be his own. This is all found from Liu Guangli's family. If he doesn't give them an explanation, Ji Nian will be in a state of conscience.

Some money can be made, but some money cannot be made. You must always have a clear conscience in your life and work. Only by being upright can you achieve it. This is not pedantic, but morality.

"Tell me briefly, red sandalwood is a very expensive wood. If the whole piece of furniture made of wood will be very valuable. But because these are basically broken branches, it is impossible to make furniture. However, pendant accessories that can be carved into bracelets are not expensive. The last time Brother Liu brought the best quality, and these are almost the same. If you sell it, you can find the right way and you can sell it for 20,000 to 30,000. But there are other costs, so the price may fluctuate a certain amount of money."

Ji Nian just used his energy to find these Qinglong woods, but did not look in depth. He didn't want the energy that he had finally recovered to pass away. Even if he used it, he had to wait until he went up the mountain to find other Qinglong woods before using it. So he could not be sure of the level and value of these woods. Maybe it was hollow inside, so he would lose.

If Ji Nian had to pay more money, to be honest, he wouldn't be able to pay it out.

After putting six thousand on the stone table, Ji Nian took out an envelope from his bag, which also contained six thousand yuan. The wooden strip was sold to Zhao Jingluo for ten thousand yuan, and he received a salary of three thousand yuan from Qihuang Pavilion. In addition to the remaining ones before, he had only 15,000 yuan in total. After all, all of the spent money was almost his entire property.

"Brother Liu, I sold the wooden stick last time to 10,000 yuan. This is 6,000 yuan, and it belongs to you."

The two envelopes, totaling 12,000 yuan, were placed on the table like this, and Liu Guangli and his mother were stunned. This money was definitely a huge sum of money for their family, and they didn't expect to get such an unexpected surprise for no reason.

Ten thousand is not a small amount of money. Their family can't make so much money after planting it in a year. But now Ji Nian actually says that the wood burned by their family as firewood can be worth so much money. Can it not be so mysterious? Isn't that my family usually uses money to burn fire? Isn't this a joke?

"Ji... Ji Nian, aren't you kidding me? Can these woods really be sold for so much money?" Liu Guangli swallowed hard and asked a little stuttering.

"Brother Liu, I'm serious." Ji Nian said patting two envelopes on the table.

"No, our family can't ask for this money." Zhou Lihua suddenly took a step forward and pushed the envelope to Ji Nian, with an extremely firm expression. What emerged from her old cheeks was a kind of sincerity.

"Xiao Nian, even if what you said is true, these woods are so valuable, it has nothing to do with our family. In fact, you can never tell us the value of these woods. You can take them away and sell them in front of us. If you do that, we will not know anything. But you told us that you not only have to say it but also have to pay. If you are so sincere to us, how can we be ashamed to take these money?"

"Auntie, I..."

"Xiao Nian, listen to me first. If you can come to our village and tell Xiaoli so much about planting astragalus, are we very grateful? Besides, you take good care of him in Zhonghai City, and the aunt doesn't know how to thank you."

"Xiaoli got the wood from Zhonghai City, and he would throw it away if you didn't say it. If you didn't say it, we would burn it. It was because you said it that we knew that they were valuable. In this way, we could pick up these woods in the future and sell them with this. We didn't charge money, just pretended to be paying tuition. The aunt made the decision on this matter. Xiaoli, you can't collect Ji Nian's money, either." Zhou Lihua interrupted Ji Nian and said firmly.

"Auntie, you can't say that." Ji Nian pushed the two envelopes over again.

"Auntie, although you are right, I really can't just take away these woods with peace of mind. If you don't accept the money, I won't take it away. If you want to burn it, burn it, and throw it away. As for picking up these woods to sell in the future, I can help Brother Liu find sales. If I can still find it, let Brother Liu take them all to Zhonghai City. I promise to find a good buyer for him. Auntie, you shouldn't think that the money is low? To be honest, I only have so much on hand, and they are all here."

"What do you kid say? The aunt doesn't mean that."

Seeing that Ji Nian was also very determined and there was no possibility of rushing, Zhou Lihua pondered for a while and said, "Let's do this, since you have to give this money, we can't ask for it all. We will get one, which is 6,000, and you can accept the other 6,000. We rural people pay attention to the people who are well digging. In the future, when small profits are still used, you can help more. The aunt is honest and you should understand what the aunt said, right?"

"I understand, aunt, if you say that..."

Ji Nian paused for a moment, put away an envelope, and took out a stack of randomly from it. At least twenty pieces were handed to the child next to the stone table. The boy was named Xuanxuan, and he was Liu Guangli's son. "Brother Liu, this is the first time I came to my house, and I didn't buy any gifts for my child. I'll buy this for myself. You can't refuse, otherwise I'll look down on me."

Speaking of this, Liu Guangli did not have a mother-in-law, so he took the money on behalf of Xuanxuan and smiled foolishly.

"Ji Nian, then I will accept it for the child. But do you think these woods are really that valuable?"

"We can't say that they are valuable, but some of them are valuable, and they have to be divided into types and grades. This is like the astragalus medicinal materials you planted. The good price is high, but the average price is low. Brother Liu, I know you must regret it now, thinking whether you have burned this kind of wood as firewood before. I can only say that it will burn it, and we can't go back again. But if you can still find this kind of wood, it can make up for the regret. Can you tell me where these woods were found?" Ji Nian asked the most critical question.

Only by finding the source of the Qinglong Wood is the kingly way.

"Yes, Xiaoli, tell Ji Nian where you picked up these woods? Do you have any impression?" Zhou Lihua asked impatiently. How could she not care about the money on the table, but if all the money is placed on the mountain outside is money, it will be useless to pick it up.

"Mom, this is the firewood I usually pick up from the mountain. There are all on the mountain. How can I remember where I picked it up from?" Liu Guangli smiled bitterly. If I had known that these woods were so valuable, I would have to record everything they said.

"You usually pick up firewood and only those places. Could it be that you can still be far away? Just take Ji Nian to go around with you." Zhou Lihua was simply.

"That's right, Brother Liu, let's take a walk." Ji Nian said with a smile.

"Okay." Liu Guangli was so irritated by these woods that he felt itchy. "Then let's have a meal quickly, and after eating, go up the mountain and take advantage of the bright room outside to walk a few more places."

"no problem."
