The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin mysteriously waved to Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing, asking them to get closer.

"It's mysterious, what's the point of selling it?"

Although Ye Qingqing complained, he moved quickly, stretching his head to look at the contents of the sack.

The anxious Chenchen stood up on tiptoes and pulled at the sack that was taller than herself.

After opening the bag, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing saw two wild ginseng trees, one large and one small.

"What a big wild ginseng, it must be at least thirty or forty years old." Ye Qingqing shouted excitedly.

Realizing that his voice was too loud, Ye Qingqing quickly covered his mouth.

Chenchen didn't know wild ginseng yet, so she tilted her little head and asked in a sweet voice:

"Why is this carrot so skinny? And it has so many beards on it." As he said that, he stretched out his chubby little hand to touch it.

Ye Qingqing quickly pulled the little guy aside, fearing that he would damage the wild ginseng.

"This is not a radish, it is an herb collected from the mountains. Be good, Chenchen, don't touch it."

Knowing that this strange-looking carrot cannot be touched, the little guy obediently retracted his little hands.

But the two eyes were staring straight at him, with curiosity written on his face.

Tang Xiaojing picked up two wild ginseng trees, looked at them carefully for a while, and then whispered with envy:

"This large wild ginseng should be about 41 years old, and the small one is about 16 years old. If it is prepared, it will be worth seventy or eighty taels of silver."

"So valuable!"

Ye Qingqing's eyes shone when he heard the price quoted by Tang Xiaojing.

At this time, Tang Xiaojing also discovered the Millet Spatholobus and Dendrobium in the sack below.

"There are also Millet Spatholobus and Dendrobium. You're lucky, kid."

Seeing so many valuable herbs, Tang Xiaojing felt itchy. Why don't he also go to Langshan for a wander?

He didn't expect to find such a big wild ginseng, just a small one.

If that doesn't work, just one or two plants of Millet Spatholobus or Dendrobium will do.

Tang Xiaojing planned to discuss with Tangshan at night to see if he should go to Langshan.

"There is a huge price difference between the prepared herbs and the unprocessed ones. I want you, brother-in-law, to help process these herbs."

"Okay, the weather has been good these two days. It should be ready in four or five days." Tang Xiaojing agreed immediately.

"Brothers will settle the score. You can take this sister."

As he spoke, Ye Xilin took out a silver ingot from his arms and stuffed it directly into Ye Qingqing's hand.

Ye Qingqing looked down and saw a fifty-tael silver ingot in his hand.

"Isn't this a bit much?"

Although she loved money, she gave too much, and Ye Qingqing was a little hesitant to take it.

"Not too much, not too much. Wild ginseng is a good thing, and it's not easy for my brother-in-law to prepare it."

"Besides, Dad said that he should find a buyer in the town. If this wild ginseng is handled well, it will probably be sold for a lot of money."

There were a lot of herbs found in the mountains today, and the prices were relatively high. Ye Xilin naturally couldn't let his brother-in-law do the work in vain.

After giving away the money, Ye Xilin hurried home.

Seeing Ye Xilin jump out as if being chased by a dog, Ye Qingqing, who has always been obsessed with money, was very happy.

"Young man, why are you running away? Am I still going to have trouble with the money?" As he said this, he quickly put away the money in his hand.

When Ye Xilin returned home, Ye's mother had already packed up the two pheasants with her two daughters-in-law.

The few remaining people were peeling chestnuts hard.

Xiaoqi and Tangtang, two greedy little cats, each held a fresh chestnut kernel and gnawed it with relish.

As for the twins and Xiaoba, who couldn't eat chestnuts yet, they were drooling and watching eagerly.

Ye Xilin looked at the half-eaten chestnut in Xiao Qi's hand, reached out and took it out shamelessly, and then put it into his mouth.

Seeing that the chestnuts in his hand were gone, the little guy was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly:

"Uncle is a big bad guy, uncle is a big bad guy, I will never pay attention to you again." He said and hit Ye Xilin's thigh with his chubby little fist.

It looked fierce, but the little guy didn't have any strength, so the blow didn't hurt or itch.

Seeing Xiao Qi crying, Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye immediately glared over fiercely.

Looking at the howling nephew and the ferocious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law beside him, Ye Xilin felt a trace of guilt on his face.

Oops, that was too funny.

Ye Xilin was thinking about how to coax someone, when he suddenly felt a twinge in his calves.

When he lowered his head, he saw that Father Ye and Ye Donglin had kicked him one by one, and there were two big footprints on his trouser legs.

Seeing that he was dissatisfied, Ye Donglin glared at him again, "You are such a big man, and you still bully a child. How embarrassing is it?"

Mr. Ye on the side took out two pieces of candy with a kind face.

As soon as she saw the candy, Xiao Qi stopped crying immediately and followed Mr. Ye crazily to show her courtesy.

Those little dog legs look quite cute. Several people on the sidelines had smiles on their faces.

Of the two pieces of candy, Xiao Qi only took one, and Mr. Ye happily gave the rest to the sweet candy beside him.

"Xiao Qi has grown up, and he still knows how to be polite to his sister."

"Thank you, grandpa, thank you brother." Tangtang ate the delicious candy, and her mouth was filled with sweetness.

Fresh mushrooms are not easy to preserve, so Ye Xilin came to the Liang Family Restaurant early the next day.

It hasn't rained recently, and there are not many bamboo shoots and mushrooms on the mountain. Shopkeeper Liang gave a good price.

There are 46 kilograms of bamboo shoots, and each kilogram costs 4 Wen, a total of 184 Wen.

There are 3 and a half kilograms of red mushrooms, 32 yuan per kilogram, a total of 112 yuan.

Morels are exactly one pound, 85 cents per pound, exactly 85 cents.

The small tiger palm fungus only weighed two ounces and sold for 100 wen.

After returning from the county, Ye Xilin and his wife received 481 yuan.

As for the 100 kilograms of chestnuts he brought back from the mountain, Ye Xilin sold them at a low price to his sister-in-law to make pastries after returning, earning another 200 Wen.

Within a few days, Father Ye brought back good news.

Yang Yuanwai from the town met a bandit who stole money when he went out to discuss business. Now he is very seriously injured and needs old wild ginseng for medicine.

The next day, Father Ye took the wild ginseng to the town and came back with 65 taels of silver before noon.

On Ye Donglin's side, a woman who came to the grocery store to buy things also got in touch with a frail scholar.

Finally, the small wild ginseng tree was sold at a high price of 28 taels of silver.

As for dendrobium, Milletia sinensis and other common herbs, Ye Xilin sold them to Wang's Pharmacy in the county and got another 21 taels of silver.

After all, the young couple earned a total of 114 taels and 681 Wen during this trip to the mountains.

In addition to half of the money handed over to the public school, the 57 taels and 340 Wen were private money belonging to the young couple.

When counting money at night, Ye Xilin's crazily raised corners of his mouth simply couldn't be suppressed.

"Hahaha, with these 57 taels of silver, we will definitely have more money than my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Ye Xilin is the youngest among the siblings and has been the poorest in the family since he was a child.

When I think that I am richer than my eldest brother, I feel very happy.

As for his sister, because Tangshan only has one son, the Tang family's property belongs to his sister and brother-in-law, so he is probably worth a lot more than himself.

Ye Xilin's next goal is to surpass the savings in his parents' hands.

As for the secretive Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye, it doesn't take much thinking to know that they must have the most money.

Ye Xilin put the old couple and Ye Qingqing last, hoping to surpass them one day and become the richest in the family.
