The happy little days of the Ye family

The second cousin helped Ye Qingmei put the bucket on the bullock cart.

There were four buckets on the oxcart. Among them, Tang Xiaojing's bucket had the most contents, mostly snails, mixed with a small amount of small river clams.

The second cousin's bucket also had more snails and fewer river clams, but the second cousin had been absent-minded after being caught by Ye Qingmei. Naturally, he touched fewer snails and river clams than Tang Xiaojing's.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Qingmei touched both small river clams, and they were about the same. However, because Tang Xiaojing secretly put two handfuls of small river clams in, Ye Qingqing narrowly defeated Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingqing smiled happily and said: "I won, Xiao Qingmei, you have to wash my clothes."

Ye Qingmei was still a little unconvinced, just a little bit. She pouted and said, "I know, I will do what I say, and I won't default on my debt."

As soon as Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing entered the yard, two chubby little puppies came over to them wagging their tails.

After Tang Xiaojing had breakfast every day, he would send the two little guys to Ye's house, and then go out to the mountains to collect herbs. After dinner in the evening, he would take the two little guys home.

Dahuang has a lively temper and often pesters Ye Qingqing to play with him. The clingy little guy runs up to Ye Qingqing's feet, howls twice in a little milky voice, and then pounces on Ye Qingqing's feet.

Ye Qingqing squatted down and touched the little guy's plush little head, then hugged the little guy and started to rub it.

The little guy groaned and struggled to get out of Ye Qingqing's arms, but unfortunately, he was suppressed ruthlessly by Ye Qingqing.

Xiao Huang was quieter and more well-behaved than Da Huang. He followed Tang Xiaojing step by step, his little light yellow tail almost shaking off.

Tang Xiaojing carried the two buckets to the backyard, then patted the little yellow's fluffy little head, and the little guy even rubbed it on Tang Xiaojing's hand.

Ye Qingqing put down the rhubarb, then picked out the river clams from Tang Xiaojing's bucket and put them together with the river clams she picked up.

The two worked hard all morning and collected more than half a bucket of snails and more than half a bucket of river clams. They could eat enough now.

The two changed the water for the snails and river clams, and then placed them beside the pool. They would change the water to clean water in the morning and evening, and they would be ready to eat after raising them for about three days.

Ye Qingqing was a foodie, and Tang Xiaojing happened to be a foodie too. The two of them got along quite well with each other, and eight of the ten sentences they spoke together were about food.

Mrs. Ye laughed more than once and said that the gold and silver mountains were not enough for two people.

In the afternoon, Tang Xiaojing went to Stone Mountain again. Tang Xiaojing had to check the traps on the mountain once a day. The weather was hot now. If a small animal fell into the trap, it would definitely stink the next day.

Tang Xiaojing didn't go hunting specifically. He would only hunt pheasants or rabbits occasionally. He mainly focused on picking herbs and taking care of the newly planted medicinal materials.

It has been seven or eight days since the medicinal materials were planted, and only a few seeds have sprouted. Tang Xiaojing will go up to the mountain to water the medicinal materials every two or three days. Once the medicinal seeds sprout and grow, there will be no need to come frequently to water.

Tang Xiaojing watered the drug field, then went to the trap at the back to check if there were any prey. When he passed the top of the mountain, he even looked at three dendrobium trees.

The three dendrobium trees are growing better than last time. In Tang Xiaojing's eyes, these three dendrobium trees are golden hens that can lay eggs, and they come to see them every few days.

Tang Xiaojing murmured in a low voice, "It would be great if dendrobium could be grown. I wonder if shopkeeper Wang can find the seeds of dendrobium."

Tang Xiaojing planned to ask shopkeeper Wang to help him look for dendrobium seeds the next time he went to the pharmacy. If he could grow dendrobium seeds, he would make a fortune.

After seeing the dendrobium, Tang Xiaojing quickly walked to the place where the traps were dug and checked them one by one.

Tang Xiaojing's luck was average today. There was only a skinny rabbit that had just grown up in the trap. It was skinny and small, probably only a little over three pounds. It didn't have much meat after removing the fur and internal organs.

The rabbit must have been jumping around not long after it fell.

Tang Xiaojing took the rabbit out of the trap, and then threw it into the basket behind him. No matter how thin the rabbit was, it was still meat.

Tang Xiaojing walked back with the rabbit on his back. After walking for a while, he found a fat rabbit eating young grass under the tree. Tang Xiaojing immediately took out the bow and arrow from the basket on his back and shot the rabbit down.

Tang Xiaojing happily threw the fat rabbit weighing 7 or 8 pounds into the basket. He didn't worry about running out of meat these days.

Tang Xiaojing brought the rabbit to Ye's house. There was a donkey cart parked in the front yard, and a burly middle-aged man was busy removing the skins from the donkey cart.

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing was back, Mother Ye called Tang Xiaojing to come over and help, "Jing boy, come and help Uncle Li move the bag."

"Hello, Uncle Li."

Tang Xiaojing quickly put down the backpack behind him and stepped forward to help move the leather.

Mother Ye said to Li Orion again: "This is my daughter's fiancé. We just got married two days ago."

Li Orion looked Tang Xiaojing up and down, and patted Tang Xiaojing's shoulder cheerfully, "You have a good body, have you practiced?"

"The boy grew up in the escort agency and has learned kung fu for several years."

Li Orion said angrily: "Brother Ye has a good vision."

This is the second time Li Orion helped Ye's father go to the mountain village to collect leather. The leather collected the first time and the leather Ye's father collected before in the mountain village have been made into leather clothes and sold.

From this batch of leather coats, Father Ye made a total of 30 taels of silver. Father Ye gave all the 30 taels of silver he earned to Orion Li and asked him to help him go to the mountain village to collect another batch of skins.

Orion Li and Father Ye also collected leather goods several times in Shanli Village, and the people in Shanli Village gradually began to trust him. This time they went to collect leather goods, and many people took out the good leather goods at home.

This time, Li Orion received 1 fiery red fox skin, 8 wolf skins, 4 deer skins, 20 pure white rabbit skins and some gray rabbit skins.

Mother Ye touched the fiery red fox skin and said, "This fox skin is so beautiful."

Li Orion: "Foxes are rare and extremely difficult to catch. This fox skin costs 4 taels of silver. You can buy two wolf skins."

Mother Ye smiled and said, "This fox fur looks good. If you turn it into the collar of a wolf fur coat, the price of the wolf fur coat will also increase a lot."

Tang Xiaojing saw that there were a lot of rabbit skins and asked, "Uncle Li, how much does one rabbit skin cost?"

"Rabbits are common, but this rabbit skin is not cheap. A pure white one costs 100 cents, and a gray one costs 45 cents."

"The leather made by Brother Li is getting softer and softer. If I think about it more, I think it will soon reach the level of making leather clothes."

Li Orion: "I collected a lot of rabbit skins in the village some time ago and developed several methods to tan the skins. I hope I can succeed this time."

Ye Qingqing said sweetly: "It will definitely be no problem."

Ye Qingqing thought of Tang Xiaojing's knowledge of medicinal herbs and asked, "Uncle Li, are there many precious medicinal materials in the mountain village?"

"Shanli Village is deep in the mountains and old forests. There are a lot of herbal medicines there. I heard that some people have collected Linzhi and ginseng. I also collect herbal medicines in Shanli Village, but I know little about herbal medicines. I usually only collect some familiar herbs. "
