The happy little days of the Ye family

From the 146 taels of silver sold for selling herbal medicine and medicinal wine, minus the 50 taels spent just now, shopkeeper Wang needs to give Tang Xiaojing 96 taels.

Tang Xiaojing paid shopkeeper Wang four taels of silver and then got 10 silver ingots worth 10 taels each.

Shopkeeper Wang originally wanted to give the banknote, but Tang Xiaojing felt that it was difficult to keep the banknote, and there were already several banknotes at home.

Silver was still resistant to being made and would not break no matter where it was placed. Tang Xiaojing finally chose to ask for the silver ingot.

100 taels of silver is enough to fit into a small cloth bag, which is heavy in the hand and has a strong sense of presence.

Completely different from the fluffy silver notes, Tang Xiaojing still liked the real feeling of silver.

Tang Shan on the side also liked it very much. Looking at the money in Tang Xiaojing's hand, he was envious.

He was still secretly proud that he had the foresight to send this boy to the pharmacy as an apprentice.

Tang Xiaojing gave his father a calm look.

Since the spring plowing this year, Tangshan has not gone to town to drive tourists, but has taken care of the herbs on the mountain with Tang Xiaojing.

The father and son had agreed long ago that Tangshan would give 20% of the money from selling the herbs.

It's not convenient to talk about this in the pharmacy. Tang Xiaojing will naturally not forget it after returning.

After selling the herbal medicine, Tang Xiaojing didn't forget to ask shopkeeper Wang a lot about Ganoderma lucidum.

Seeing Tang Xiaojing pulling him and asking him about Ganoderma lucidum, shopkeeper Wang finally realized what he was doing and excitedly pulled his arm and asked:

"You kid, you can't find Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain, right?"

"I found a small mushroom that looks a bit like the Ganoderma lucidum you mentioned, Shopkeeper Wang, but I'm not sure if it is."

Shopkeeper Wang doesn't often come into contact with Ganoderma lucidum, and the description is not very clear. Tang Xiaojing is actually not sure.

"Tell me quickly what the little mushroom you found looks like? Where was it found?"

Tang Xiaojing concealed the incident in the cave, and then talked about the little thing he found.

Listening to Tang Xiaojing's description, shopkeeper Wang felt that it should be Ganoderma lucidum.

However, it is still small and not worth much. It would be a pity to pick it now.

Shopkeeper Wang suggested that Tang Xiaojing wait for the Ganoderma lucidum to grow older, preferably twenty or thirty years before harvesting it.

Tang Xiaojing thought the same way. Such good things were hard to come by, so naturally he had to wait until the year was longer before picking them.

The cave was still very secret, and since it was his own mountain, Tang Xiaojing actually wanted to leave things to the next generation.

Anyway, the family is not short of money now. Maybe it will be used in the future, so it is better to keep it.

I got money from selling herbal medicine, and I also learned that the mushrooms in the cave are most likely Ganoderma lucidum.

The father and son were so excited that they even forgot to eat lunch. After coming out of the hospital, they hurried back to the ox cart.

On the way back, the father and son couldn't suppress the raised corners of their mouths. They even felt that the weather today was particularly good.

…………

Ye Qingqing was eating breakfast in the kitchen when he happened to see lotus roots placed in the corner and planned to make a full lotus root feast in the evening.

Several dishes made with lotus roots suddenly appeared in Ye Qingqing's mind.

Lotus root and pork ribs soup, glutinous rice and lotus root, lotus root meat cake and lotus root stewed pork knuckle, plus a green vegetable are perfect.

After cooking a big meal in the evening, Ye Qingqing wanted to be lazy at noon.

The father and son were not at home for dinner at noon, so Ye Qingqing was too lazy to cook alone, and planned to take Chenchen back to her parents' house to have dinner at noon.

Ye Qingqing goes back to Ye's house every three days to eat. Ye's mother has long been used to it, and she will cook a little more rice when cooking.

Ye Qingqing has arranged the meals for today.

However, we still have rabbits and pheasants caught in the mountains yesterday. Although it has been a little cold these two days, the winter in the south is not that cold, so the meat cannot be kept forever.

Seeing that the weather was good today and the wind was blowing again, Ye Qingqing planned to make rabbits and pheasants into bacon and save them for spring plowing.

As soon as Ye Qingqing heated up the hot water, Aunt Chen came back from washing the diapers.

With helpers, Ye Qingqing quickly took care of the rabbits and pheasants.

Ye Qingqing rubbed the pheasants and rabbits with salt, spices and a little wine, marinated them for a day and night, and then hung them in a ventilated place to dry.

The meat was all made into bacon, but chicken offal and rabbit offal could not be wasted. Ye Qingqing asked Aunt Chen to pack it and take it home for lunch.

Although they were offal, they were still meat. Aunt Chen didn't dislike them at all and washed them several times with plant ash very carefully.

Aunt Chen has even thought about how to cook it. She makes stir-fried chicken and rabbit with beans and sour for lunch, which is not too easy to eat.

The winter sun is warm and comfortable on my body.

Ye Qingqing stopped showing off and moved a rocking chair out, lying lazily in the sun.

Seeing that it was almost time to cook, Ye Qingqing went back to the house to pack some things for Chenchen, and then returned to Ye's house with the little guy in his arms.

There were four dogs at home, and they ate too much. Ye Qingqing was too embarrassed to take them back to eat.

Before going out, Ye Qingqing cooked a large pot of sweet potato porridge in the pot, and before leaving, he stuffed a lychee tree thicker than his arm into it.

By the time she comes back from Ye's house, the porridge will probably be ready.

The Ye family was very lively at this time. Before entering the house, Ye Qingqing heard laughter coming from inside.

The voices sounded like old acquaintances. It was Wang Chunyu, her mother Li, and her brother Wang Lixia who were here.

"Hello Aunt Li, hello brother Wang." Ye Qingqing greeted mother and son enthusiastically.

When her sister-in-law was pregnant with Xiaoqi, Li and Wang Lixia often came over to deliver chickens, eggs, and all kinds of delicious food. Ye Qingqing was very familiar with them.

"Qingqing, you little girl, you are still as beautiful as a little girl after you get married. This is Chenchen, you look exactly like you. You can tell at a glance that you are mother and son."

Li was very enthusiastic and praised Chenchen vigorously, which made Ye Qingqing very happy. The more they talked, the happier they became.

Wang Lixia, on the other hand, is more calm and introverted. At first glance, he looks like an honest farmer.

The Wang family has developed well in recent years. They first opened up more than 20 acres of paddy fields, and later followed the Ye family to buy a hill to grow red dates and honeysuckle.

Moreover, Wang Carpenter and Wang Lichun are also well-known carpenters, and the Wang family's life is getting better and better.

Although Wang Chunyu was a married daughter, the Wang family never treated her like water thrown away.

After learning that Wang Chunyu was pregnant with her second child, Mrs. Li raised more than a dozen chickens specifically to feed her daughter during the confinement period.

Although she also knew that the Ye family was well off and would not treat her daughter badly, she was still uneasy after all, she was in someone else's house.

Every now and then, Wang Lichun would be asked to send various things to replenish his daughter's health.

Wang Chunyu estimates that she will give birth in about a month, but there is no telling when the baby will be born, or whether the baby will be born in a hurry.

So Li sent a few chickens and a basket of eggs in advance to replenish Wang Chunyu's health.

In addition, there are also some children's clothes, including clothes for boys and girls.

Half of them are new, and the other half are small old clothes worn by Wang Chunyu's nieces and nephews.

Wang Chunyu's sister-in-law just gave birth to her third child a few months ago. She is a fat boy, and her sister-in-law is also pregnant with her second child.

The children of the Wang family are very close in age. Although they are old clothes, the children grow up quickly, so they don't wear them very often.

The fabrics are all good and very soft to hold, and every piece is washed very clean.

The children in the village grew up wearing the old clothes of their elder brothers and sisters, and they were all members of the same family. Wang Chunyu didn't dislike them at all.

Carpenter Wang and Wang Lixia are good at craftsmanship and often make various small wooden toys for their children.

When she came this time, Li also brought a large bag of small wooden toys.

At this time, Xiao Qi was already sitting in the corner playing, holding a small wooden sword in one hand and a wooden knife in the other, gesticulating happily.

Li also left some for Chenchen, each piece was very exquisite and beautiful.

Ye Qingqing picked up a very cute wooden puppy and sighed in his heart: As expected of a carpenter, this craftsmanship is much better than that of Ye Xilin.
