Qi Si and Xiao Er have a real friendship in which they use iron-clad sticks to beat people together.
After the former was injured, Yan Yu kept stuffing him with food, both openly and covertly. The dried snake meat was also mixed in. Qi Si did not eat in vain. Not only did his injury heal quickly, but his height also increased, and he was almost on the verge of catching up with Qi Si.
Big.
When he was wielding an ax to chop down trees, he couldn't even wear thick clothes. Among the three brothers, Qi Si was the only one who recently got new clothes. The previous one was not strong and the threads were torn...
Yan Yu entered the house and saw Uncle Qi baking steamed buns. The bottom side was ready, so he quickly helped to take them down.
Qi Si sat on the pot on the floor, which contained the broth he brought from home. When the soup in the pot started to simmer, he took out a piece of dried meat from his arms, broke it apart bit by bit and threw it in.
Yan Yu recognized it as the small stove she secretly opened for Fourth Uncle Qi.
This batch of snake meat was put directly outside and frozen. It melted when eating and tasted better. The dried meat was all made in the past. I didn't expect that Uncle Qi still had some left unfinished.
"Fourth Uncle Qi, I still have some at home. Don't keep them. Eat more meat and you'll be very hungry." Yan Yu can now especially understand the three uncles of the Qi family. Her appetite is getting better and better, and she can eat, but she gets hungry when it's meal time.
, I want to fill my stomach with everything I see.
"Yeah!" Qi Si was brainwashed by Yan Yu countless times. I am your eldest niece, just like my relatives. Uncle Qi and we are a secret group. We are closer than others. We eat more just for the sake of it.
Save your strength. When we have enough, we will go to Beirong to grab cattle and sheep...
Qi Si asked Yan Yu if he had eaten?
Yan Yu glanced around and felt that he could not compete with Fourth Uncle Qi for food, so he said against his will that he had already eaten.
Qi Si felt relieved, drank the soup and took a few bites of a big steamed bun.
Yan Yu consciously helped him bake another batch.
While it was roasting, she was chattering next to it.
Qi Si is used to it.
The second girl has a loud mouth, just like her father.
"...Master Lu and his family want to build a house in our village, and they may need to open up a few acres of wasteland. They have quite a few men, but they are reluctant to let go of the land in the previous village, and they want to plant some nearby.
I just feel overwhelmed and want to buy a cow."
Qi Si now gets excited when he hears the words cow and sheep.
His eyes were wide open and he stared at the waiter intently.
Yan Yu chuckled and handed the baked buns to him: "Uncle Qi, let's get ready. Don't tell anyone else yet. Let's explore the way first. If we can really pull the cows and sheep back, it will take ten years for a cow to come back."
Let’s get more taels, and there are also several taels of sheep. Our two families will continue to burn the charcoal, and occasionally rob a few cattle and sheep. Think about it, how much money we will make this winter!”
Qi Si always listened to the waiter settle accounts. Just thinking about it made him unable to sit still. His heart was burning with panic and he wished he could go right away.
"hit! I have prepared the wooden sticks a long time ago. They are made of the strongest wood and covered with iron sheets. Even a wild boar can knock it down."
There are also hemp ropes, very long, six in number."
This was something the two of them pondered on their way to Longxing Fengming.
Iron-clad sticks were used for self-defense, and hemp ropes were used to tie cattle and sheep.
She took Sanbao with her, and even if there were stubborn ones who refused to leave, she could pull them back by deadlifting.
"Let's bring two more axes." Yan Yu thought for a while and said.
Qi Si nodded and didn't ask why he wanted to bring it.
If the waiter wants to take it with him, then he can.
…
Yan Yu left for Yongning, feeling very energetic.
Last night she told her mother about going over the mountains to Beirong. Li Xuemei listened to her various preparations, thought about it again and again, and agreed.
At this time, she was sitting in the bamboo stove full of green, drinking the tea served by the shopkeeper. She didn't know what it was called, which showed her timidity. Yan Yu drank it very gracefully, taking small sips.
The palace sent a steward and a nun.
The accent sounds like they are all from the south.
The steward was obviously the one inspecting the goods. He carefully turned over the ginseng she brought, looked at and smelled it, and weighed each one with a small scale, recording the weight.
Grandma seemed to be in charge, and the steward would talk to her from time to time, showing respect in her behavior.
"Young Master Yan." Grandma Cai, who was introduced by the shopkeeper, smiled and said to her: "We have seen the ginseng. They are all good ginseng from the previous year. They are well kept. It is very rare. Young Master Yan really wants it."
Do you want to take action? Don't you want to keep one at home? I heard from the uncle that the young master's mother is pregnant. When a woman is giving birth, it is best to use ginseng if she is not strong enough."
Yan Yu blinked, feeling that this Aunt Cai was a bit of a talker.
However, they did get close to her for no reason, and they said nice things to her. Yan Yu's ability to climb a pole was not inferior to her father's, and she got close to people naturally and smoothly.
"Thank you, Aunt Cai, for thinking about it. I still have some at home. I bought these ginseng from Fengming just to make some money so I can buy the shop next door. Although my mother is usually in good health,
But I thought it would be more appropriate to move to Fucheng when the time comes, and it would be more convenient to find a stable mother-in-law."
Aunt Cai smiled and said, "My young master has a filial heart, and the Yan family's wife is very lucky."
She glanced at the steward.
The steward spread out the six ginseng branches on the table and commented one by one: "Of the six ginseng branches of Mr. Yan, these two are the oldest, especially this one. The beard is long and tough, the reeds are round and plump, and the skin is smooth.
The dense patterns are of the highest quality..."
As he spoke, he compared the prices and wrote them on the paper.
Then push the paper over.
Yan Yu was stunned when she heard his quotation.
I lowered my head and read what was written on the paper again. I was sure that I heard it right.
The best one was quoted at eighty taels, the inferior one was also quoted at seventy-five taels, the latter one was quoted at sixty-five taels, and the third one was quoted at sixty-five taels.
That adds up to a total of four hundred taels!
Yan Yu swallowed.
She subconsciously looked at the two people, and suddenly she felt that the other person seemed to be shining with golden light, and it seemed that his whole body exuded an aura called "rich wealth".
Yan Yu suddenly thought of the princess's wedding boat.
And those boxes that were sunk into the river...
She saw it with her own eyes and knew that the gold and silver in the caisson was only a small part of what was taken out of each box.
So infer from this.
The Crown Princess... is very rich.
Well, she seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding all along. It is true that the British Prince's Palace is very poor, but the Crown Princess... seems to have an unusually rich net worth.
"Aunt Cai, is it too high? I..." She wanted to say that I didn't want to make so much money from your family!
It cost her 240 taels to buy ginseng from Fengming, so she decided to sell it for more than 300 taels and earn 60 taels from one trip. It was already a huge profit among huge profits!
"Young Master Yan, don't worry. I've come here with an errand. I won't deliberately buy it at a high price just because the young master's family and the uncle are friendly. They are all purchased at the price of the government. Not only is it not higher, but it's also a few cents more than usual." Cai Cai
Grandma said kindly.
The steward also said: "That's true. Let's just talk about this one..." He pointed to the one quoted at seventy-five taels. "The drug store's price will not be lower than seventy-eight taels. If there is a shortage in the government, it will be eighty-two taels."
You also have to buy it, after all, it’s hard to find good ginseng!”
Yan Yu thought for a moment and asked slowly: "The mansion you are talking about is the wife's natal family?"
"Exactly," the steward said.
Yan Yu: Yes, the case is closed.
How can the price of ginseng in the south be compared to Guanzhou?
She told these two people that the price of ginseng was cheap here in Guanzhou, and she sold it to a drug store in Changping for only fifty taels... Barabala explained a lot.
Aunt Cai kept listening with a smile, and even the steward had a smile in her eyes.
…
Yan Yu came out in a daze with four hundred taels of silver notes, followed by two waiters.
The shopkeeper of the bamboo stove was worried. He originally wanted to send someone to follow her home, but later he heard that the people selling charcoal at the city gate were people from their village. She wanted to go back to the village with them, so he asked the man to take her home.
Go to the city gate.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw a line of people waiting in line to sell firewood. On the small table in front of Uncle Sun, there were stacks of copper plates. When the firewood seller put down a bundle of firewood, he would give someone a stack.
Next door, there were several women surrounding Uncle Luo Sanshu's meat stall. Uncle Luo was shouting and skillfully cutting the meat and putting it on the scale to collect money.
When the copper plate is passed, the sound is unique and beautiful.
Yan Yu came back to his senses, and the stars in his eyes lit up.
Touched the banknote.
"Stay here, go, go home!"
The dog barked and ran as fast as he could.
Sun Erdan looked up and saw the sledge the waiter was sitting on scurrying out.
A series of cheerful laughter came from a distance.
He smiled and said: "This kid even said that he wanted to go back together, so he ran away first..."
