Chapter 39 (1/2)

Witt came home dejected. Until this time, the fragrance of mints remained in his mouth.

He has been deeply fascinated by this nostalgic taste.

After eating mints, he even felt that the smell in his mouth was full of sweet smell when he spoke. It was like kissing a girl - didn't the bards say that kissing a girl was sweet

As for what Donne said, collecting Mint grass can exchange silver coins and mints?

Cut, he doesn't believe it. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

It must be lying!

”I'm back...”

As soon as Witt opened the door, he saw his father and mother sitting at the table whispering about something. He didn't care and went straight back to the house.

”... do you think the Lord's announcement is true?”

”I don't know, but since it was released by the Lord, it should be true...”

”You can change silver coins by collecting Mint grass? What exactly is Lord thinking? The mint grass mentioned in the announcement is the one growing along the river. It's everywhere. Why send someone to collect it?”

”Who knows? The Lord may have his plan. Everyone has just escaped from the fear of mountain bandits. He may want everyone to have something to do.”

”Anyway, it's good to have a try. If you can really change silver coins, it's great!”

Witt suddenly stopped, his face uncertain: ”Dad, mom, what you're talking about, is it the new announcement issued by the Lord?”

”Yes, as long as you collect Mint grass, you can change silver coins. There is the Lord's signature on it. It should be... Eh? Witt, what are you doing?”

”I'll go out!”

Victor picked up the bag next to him and ran away. He rushed out of the house and went straight to the emerald river. When he came to the emerald River, Victor was stunned.

At the moment, many people are collecting Mint by the emerald river!

”Brother Witt!”

Marshall was very happy to see Victor, raised his hand and shouted.

Victor ran over. Marshall pulled up the bag in his hand and said, ”brother Victor, I've collected a lot. Although I don't know how many kilograms, I'm sure I can change to MINT!”

Victor looked carefully. The bag in his hand was almost full, and others around him were almost the same. There was a lot less peppermint grass.

Victor is very anxious. How can he make silver money if the mint grass lets them light up!?

Now Witt couldn't care to talk to Marshall any more. He rushed to the side and began to collect Mint grass.

Children born in Ellington will help their families when they are young. They are good at collecting wild vegetables. Of course, collecting peppermint is not a problem.

Moreover, under the restriction of Donne's law, they didn't dare to do too hard, but left the roots, which could be collected again in a while.

On the river bank, all the people who had nothing to do were working in full swing. Several tramps who stayed in Ellington all year round were also busy here, hoping to change some silver coins and buy some bread to fill their stomachs.

Not far away, Donne watched all this with satisfaction.

With the motivation to make money, these people have the goal of life. After getting busy one by one, their energy and spirit are different.

”Big brother, can I also collect Mint grass to earn silver coins for mint candy?”

Elia looked excitedly at everyone busy there, and she was also a little eager to try.

Donne wanted to say that I can take care of you without making silver coins. But on second thought, he smiled and said, ”yes, Elia has to work hard if she wants to eat mint.”

”Yes!”

Elia nodded fiercely, then ran down and picked Mint grass with several friends.

Donne smiled.

He doesn't want to spoil Elia too much. There are too many such examples on earth. Even if a gifted child is spoiled, it will be difficult to grow up in the future.

If he just protects and dotes on Elia, she will have no independent ability in the future.

What's more, now her friends are making money with their own efforts, but she can enjoy it, which virtually draws a line between her and her friends. Over time, she is alienated from her friends, which is not a good thing.

Working together and sharing joy together can quickly enhance the feelings between them. At the same time, it can also enhance Elia's understanding with others in work and make it easier for everyone to accept her.

In short, this is a good thing to kill more with one stone.

In the evening, Fiona arranged a table in front of the Lord's house to buy Mint grass according to Donne's order. Donne specially made a scale for her to measure Mint grass.

Seeing this situation, the Ellington residents who had been very nervous were relieved. They knew that the Lord really planned to buy Mint grass, and their faces showed happy smiles.

But Donne was shocked to see their big and small bags. Originally, he thought these people would be bored if they didn't collect much. Unexpectedly, they worked until this time.

”Danny, 3.8 kilograms. Here are three silver coins and eighty copper coins. Please keep them.”

Fiona quickly put away the mint and handed the money to Danny. Danny jumped up excitedly when he received the money: ”Yeah! Great! There's money for wine tonight!”
