The happy little days of the Ye family

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaojing drove the ox cart home early.

Mainly because he didn't dare wander around the county with so much money on him.

It's more than 100 taels. He has to collect herbs for many years to earn so much money.

Yesterday, he sold ginseng and dendrobium for 120 taels. He used the 20 taels of silver notes to buy medicinal materials for making medicinal wine. He also had a 100 taels of silver notes and some broken silver with him.

He had never seen so much money, and he carried a 100-tael banknote with him. Tang Xiaojing felt like someone was staring at him wherever he went, fearing that someone would rush over and snatch his banknote.

On the way back, Tang Xiaojing silently counted the money in his hand.

He sold dendrobium trees a year ago. Before buying Rabbit Mountain, he had a total of about 80 taels of silver.

I was able to save so much money thanks to the tiger bone wine in Shanli Village and the dendrobium tree I first found in Stone Mountain.

After spending more than 30 taels to buy Rabbit Mountain, Tang Xiaojing only had more than 40 taels of silver left.

However, after spring plowing, he dug a lot of traps on the two mountains. Just relying on the prey and herbs on the mountains, he also made more than ten taels of silver in the next few months after the new year.

The wages of the 10 long-term workers of the Tang family were provided by Tangshan during the land reclamation. After the land was opened, the long-term workers began to pick mushrooms on the two mountains, and the wages of the long-term workers were paid with the money from the mushrooms sold.

Tang Xiaojing carefully thought about the money at home, and found that he had saved about 60 taels.

This also included money for his future wife. Although Tang Shan said that he would be responsible for the betrothal gift, betrothal gift and all expenses for his future wife, Tang Xiaojing still wanted to spend his own money to marry Ye Qingqing.

In Taohua Village, five taels of silver is enough for an average family to marry a wife, and ten taels of silver is enough for those with better conditions.

However, the Ye family was well off, Ye Qingqing could also make money by doing embroidery, and the girl herself was very good, so Tang Xiaojing originally prepared 20 taels of silver to get married.

But now that the conditions of the Ye family are getting better and better, Ye Qingqing is also more beautiful, and he can earn several taels of silver every month just from embroidery. Tang Xiaojing feels that these 20 taels of silver are not worthy of Ye Qingqing.

Tang Xiaojing thought for a moment, and now that there are still four years left before their wedding, it would be better to use the money to buy a family property.

The Ye family has good conditions and has never suffered hardship since childhood. He cannot let Ye Qingqing marry him and live a hard life, at least not worse than the Ye family.

As for the money used to get married, betrothal gifts, betrothal gifts, banquets, etc., Tang Xiaojing felt that it would cost at least 50 taels of silver, which Tang Xiaojing was confident he could earn in the future.

Tang Xiaojing spent 12 taels in the pharmacy yesterday to buy a lot of medicinal materials for making medicinal wine, as well as several jars of spirits. Now he still has 108 taels of silver left.

There are about 60 taels of silver at home, and he has 108 taels of silver on him. The total here is 168 taels of silver.

Tang Xiaojing has already thought about it and set aside 8 taels of silver for daily expenses. The remaining 160 taels of silver are enough for the Tang family to buy a good house or shop in the town.

When Tang Xiaojing returned home, Tang Shan had not yet gone out to pick mushrooms in the mountains.

Tangshan was thinking about the ginseng and dendrobium that Tang Xiaojing brought yesterday, and waited for his son to come back at home.

In fact, it was because Tangshan drank the wine he brought back from the cave at home last night and got drunk for a while and couldn't get up.

Although Tangshan loves to drink, his wine is pretty good and he falls asleep when he gets drunk.

Moreover, Tangshan never gets drunk outside his home. He usually just drinks outside and only dares to drink freely at home.

Tang Xiaojing led the bullock cart in, and the first things he discovered were rhubarb and small yellow.

The two majestic big hunting dogs ran over as soon as they saw Tang Xiaojing. Their big tails behind them almost broke, and they pounced straight on Tang Xiaojing.

After not seeing each other for a night, the two big guys became even more enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Tang Xiaojing almost couldn't bear it.

Tang guys were well fed, and they could hunt and eat meat on their own in the mountains. When Rhubarb and Xiao Huang stood up, Tang Xiaojing's chest was so high that they pounced Tang Xiaojing back two steps without hesitation.

Tang Xiaojing hugged Dahuang and Xiaohuang and rubbed them hard. One person and two dogs were affectionate for a while, and then Tangshan came out of the kitchen with a black pancake in his hand.

Tang Xiaojing laughed happily and said, "Dad, even Big Huang and Xiao Huang would not be happy not to eat this pancake of yours."

"Stop talking nonsense, this pancake is a bit ugly, but it still tastes good."

Tangshan was unconvinced and broke the pancake in half and handed it to Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang sniffed it, turned around and ran away in disgust.

"Hahahaha, both Dahuang and Xiaohuang are disgusted. Without me, dad, you can't even have a decent breakfast. You have to be nicer to me in the future."

Tangshan kicked him, "I think your skin is itchy. I haven't hit you in the past two days. You feel uncomfortable, right?"

Tang Shan's kick was quick and accurate, but Tang Xiaojing reacted a step too late and was kicked by Tang Shan.

Not only was he kicked, he was also laughed at by Tangshan, "My skills have deteriorated."

"I bought a lot of spirits at the pharmacy."

Tangshan's eyes lit up when he heard that there was strong liquor, and he sniffed it vigorously, "Is it the strong liquor you used to make medicinal wine last time? I just said, why does it smell like wine?"

The last time he made medicinal wine, Tang Xiaojing bought three jars of strong wine from the pharmacy. Tangshan always wanted to drink it secretly, but he didn't buy much wine, so Tang Xiaojing wouldn't let Tangshan drink it.

With good wine, Tangshan didn't care about Tang Xiaojing and went directly to the oxcart to carry the wine.

When Tangshan saw six small jars of strong wine placed on the bullock cart, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. However, the jars were a bit small, each jar only weighed about four kilograms.

Tang Xiaojing stepped forward to help Tangshan move the wine, "Shopkeeper Wang spent a lot of effort to transport these spirits from other provinces. There are only six jars left. Five jars are reserved for brewing medicinal wine. I can only give them to you." A jar.”

"Just one jar. Buy two more jars for me next time you go to the pharmacy."

Tang Xiaojing thought that shopkeeper Wang wanted to throw him out, and it might be difficult to handle, so he said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about this next time. I have some things I want to discuss with you, dad."

Seeing Tang Xiaojing's serious look, Tang Shan knew it was an important matter, so the father and son moved the things off the ox cart in a few seconds.

After moving their things, the father and son entered Father Ye's house together.

Tang Xiaojing took out the 100 taels of silver notes from his arms and said, "Yesterday, the dendrobium and the big ginseng sold for a total of 120 taels."

"I spent 12 taels of silver to buy a lot of medicinal materials for making medicinal wine at the pharmacy, and I still have 108 taels left."

Then he talked to Tangshan about buying a family business, "Since I came back to Taohua Village, I have saved 60 taels of silver by preparing herbal medicine and hunting game in the mountains."

"The total amount of money I have on hand is 168 taels. I want to use 160 taels to buy property in the town, buy a house or a shop. What do you think, Dad?"

To be honest, Tang Xiaojing is only 15 years old now, and he has 168 taels of silver in his hand. Tangshan is really worried. This money can't be used to buy a family property.

Tang Shan smiled and said to Tang Xiaojing: "It's good. It's not practical to have so much money on your body. It's better to buy a family property."

"In a few days, when all the mushrooms on the mountain are picked, I will go to the town with you to look at houses and shops."
