Chapter 193 Getting rich
Song An Ning had just received three hundred taels of silver, and she worked even harder. She would rather work harder so that her parents wouldn't have to work so hard.
In case the system sends something again, she needs to prepare more things for her parents.
Before he knew it, Song An Ning had collected all the water hyacinths in the small pond, and then he started to work on the plants nearby.
"Ting, I bought back twenty kilograms of jute, and the amount was four hundred coins."
"Ding, I bought ten kilograms of donkey hoof grass, and the amount was three hundred coins."
"Ding, I bought back ten kilograms of Zexie rhizome, and received five hundred coins..."
"..."
This took more than two hours. Song An Ning found a rock to sit on and gulped down half a bottle of water.
Thinking back, I was the elegant Mr. Ning An yesterday, but now I am covered in dirt, and the smell of sweat mixed with mud forms a particularly sour smell.
"Master, we've dug seven meters and there's another smaller piece of wood.
Don't go down, Xiangxiang will collect it remotely, how about deducting 5% of the wood?"
Song An Ning thought about it and decided that saving 5% of the silver would avoid danger and save time, so it was well worth it.
She didn't even lift her butt, and let Xiangxiang take it.
The moment he finished speaking, the system's voice rang out:
"Ding, I collected 300 kilograms of thousand-year-old ebony, which costs 1,500 taels. After deducting 5%, the total amount I received is 1,425 taels."
"Hmm? Isn't it three taels of silver per catty? Has the price gone up?"
After Xiangxiang recovered, he asked Number One to continue working and started to explain science to Song Anning:
"Master, there are many types of trees that form ebony, the most common ones are: willow, oak, camphor, nanmu, red toon, sandalwood, etc.
The price given by the system varies depending on the type, age and volume of the tree.
If you encounter willow wood, you won’t make much money.”
"Oh……"
Having learned new knowledge, she recalled Xiangxiang's words twice in her mind and took note of them carefully.
Suddenly I remembered that when I first came here, I was really brave and didn’t know anything. Apart from dandelions and wheel vegetables, I didn’t recognize anything else. But I still worked hard to dig. Even if I made ten copper coins, I would be happy for a long time.
The morning light shines through the dense leaves and sprinkles on the mountains and forests, forming patches of mottled light and shadows. Birds sing happily on the branches, as if welcoming the new day.
"Its daybreak……"
Song Anning yawned and turned to look at No. 1. He was still sitting in the excavator digging mud. After a few meters, there was no silt left, only green and yellow clay, which looked pretty nice.
The silt dug out by No. 1 was piled up not far away, like a giant pile of feces, but when she looked closely, she found that something was moving in the silt!
"Who is this monster? It's so scary..."
"Hey, they're all bugs, all kinds of them..."
"..."
The moment he saw it, Song Anning felt sick all over. Densely packed insects were wriggling in the mud, and the scene was extremely shocking to the eyes.
"Master, will you accept it?"
"No!"
Song An Ning replied subconsciously that what she feared most in her life were insects and snakes. Seeing them would really make her scalp tingle and her legs go weak.
But if you think about it carefully, a swamp with plants and water is a paradise for all kinds of insects. Even if it's not for the money, it's for the species atlas.
But she would be afraid of those bugs even if she didn't do anything herself.
After a long ideological struggle, Song Anning closed his eyes and said simply:
"I've collected them all. I won't look at them. Just come and do it."
"Hahaha, alright then, Xiangxiang has to pay 50% of the money this time."
"Okay, no money required, collect it quickly!"
Xiangxiang laughed so hard that she was out of breath. The owner, who used to be fearless, looked quite cute after seeing insects and snakes.
"Ding, I collected 500 leeches for 5 taels of silver. After deductions, I received 2 taels and 500 coins."
"Ding, recovered 125 water turtles, 312 coins credited..."
"Recovered 3,000 iron nematodes, credited..."
"No, my dear Xiang, do I have to shout it out? This can be left unannounced."
Needless to say, just hearing about leeches and wireworms made Song Anning's face change again and again. Ahhhh, I'm scared to death!
"Hahaha, great. Then take all the Xiangxiang. Once everything is deposited into the account, I'll tell the master how much silver there is."
"it is good!"
Three minutes later, Xiangxiang's voice rang out, "Master, we've recovered a total of 203 insect species this time, even eggs and those on plant leaves. After deducting half of the handling fee, the total payment is 197 taels of silver."
"Okay, well done, keep going next time."
I saw that there were more than 200 kinds of illustrations on the system panel. Together with the ones I dug out last night, a total of more than 300 kinds of illustrations were unlocked, which is also a considerable gain.
At this moment, No. 1 stopped the excavator again and stood aside. Song Anning looked down at the more than ten-meter-deep pit and saw a huge piece of wood appear at the bottom of the pit.
Fortunately, Xiangxiang bought a lot of wooden boards and steel bars from the mall before digging to block the surrounding silt. Otherwise, the silt is fluid and the pit cannot be fully dug.
"Is the master going to collect it himself this time? Or will Xiangxiang go? But if you collect such a big thing, Xiangxiang will deduct half of the silver."
"..."
Song An Ning leaned over and took a closer look. The big piece of wood below was probably over a thousand pounds and was completely black. Just now, No. 1 had scratched the surface a little when digging, revealing some gold.
She didn't understand the market, but she knew that this piece of wood was much better than the two pieces before, so the price would naturally be several times higher. If Xiangxiang were to buy it, she would lose several thousand taels of silver.
"Xiangxiang must be tired after collecting so many bugs just now, right?
As her owner, I feel really bad for Xiangxiang, so I'll do it myself this time."
"Hahaha, how did the master manage to make not wanting to spend money sound so refreshing and refined? Xiangxiang is listening to you, we can start now."
Xiangxiang waited for her to take action after she finished speaking, but Song Anning calmly put the excavator into her backpack, glanced at Number One beside her, and said decisively:
"Go and collect that piece of wood, and then come up."
"Yes!"
Xiangxiang: ...
"Master, you have no moral principles. Even if Number One goes to collect the items, you will be charged a 10% handling fee."
"Hey? You didn't tell me that at the beginning. Isn't it too late to tell me now?
As a system, not informing the owner of this in detail is a dereliction of duty. You will have to pay the 10% yourself."
Xiangxiang: ...
Wuuwuwu, the master bullied her, Xiangxiang is unhappy...
After wiping away a few bitter tears, Xiangxiang thought about it and realized that she did not seem to have told No. 1 that a handling fee would be deducted when receiving the items, so she could only suffer the consequences.
Number One was extremely fast. After going down, he lightly touched the wood, turned around and jumped up.
Xiangxiang also started to report with grievance:
"Ding, unscrupulous master, you have made a fortune, oooooo..."
"..."
