Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Sheng Xuan is a good father who loves his children. Xiao Lan doesn’t have much weight on her back, so she can catch up even if she is in a hurry on the road.

Both father and daughter wanted to sell the meat for a good price while it was fresh, so they went down the mountain, covered the wild boar with branches and wild vegetables, and went straight to the town.

"Dad, let's go to Tianxiang Tower."

The father and daughter stopped at the side door of Tianxianglou and knocked on it. The waiter smiled and said, "Little girl, are you here to deliver game again?" Then he saw the wild boar on the raft behind the father and daughter and was shocked. "Oh my, did they kill two wild boars? One is still alive?"

Xiao Lan smiled and nodded, "He fell into a trap. My father and I caught him with great difficulty."

"It's been a while since I saw a live wild boar. Wait a minute, I'll go call the shopkeeper." The waiter ran forward excitedly.

Shopkeeper Xu was counting the accounts in the front. When he heard that Xiaolan and her daughter had brought a wild boar, he hurried over with his waiter.

Shopkeeper Xu walked around the two wild boars twice, and exclaimed in amazement, "These two wild boars are quite fat, you are really amazing. Keep both of them, and there is no need to weigh them. Go to the counter and get ten taels of silver. The extra amount will be a reward from our boss."

Xiao Lan was overjoyed and asked the shopkeeper what the good news was.

"The boss is coming over to treat me to a banquet tonight, and I was just worried about where to get game. The two wild boars you sent came at the perfect time, and the boss will definitely like them." Shopkeeper Xu laughed, "You don't have to refuse the money. If you have anything good in the future, remember to send it to me. You won't lose out."

The father and daughter helped the waiter move the two wild boars to the patio before going around to the counter to get the silver.

Tianxianglou asked for two wild boars at a time, which was really a lot. At that time, wild boar meat was not as fat as domestic pork. If it were put on the market, the price of wild boar meat would be far lower than that of domestic pork.

Farmers would at most sell things at the market, but they would never think of selling to restaurants. His Xiaolan was very smart. Sheng Xuan walked back quickly while thinking. He couldn't wait to share the joy of making money with Zhang. This was ten taels of silver. Even for the best family in the village, it was not easy to get ten taels of silver at a time.

Both the father and daughter walked lightly, as they were too happy to get so much money. They avoided people along the way. Sheng Xuan's steps were so fast that he seemed to be flying. Xiao Lan had to put in some effort to keep up with him. Her father's breathing was unsteady, but he showed no intention of slowing down.

They arrived at the doorstep in the evening. Zhang was sitting at the door doing needlework. When Sheng Xuan saw her, he wanted to take out some money, but Xiao Lan quickly stopped him, "Dad, let's talk inside."

Zhang glared at the naive Sheng Xuan, followed him into the house with the sewing box, and closed the door behind him.

Xiao Lan patted her pounding heart. She was extremely nervous along the way. Fortunately, she didn't meet many people. Her family would have to be more careful in the future, in case someone followed her lead and went into the mountains, in case something bad happened again.

Sheng Xuan hurriedly took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Zhang.

"Why are there so many?" Zhang asked.

Xiao Lan told them about the wild boars they caught. "Mom, please take good care of my dad. He dragged those two pigs to town by himself. I'm afraid he can't handle it."

"Dad is fine." Sheng Xuan said foolishly.

Zhang's eyes turned red instantly, "Come back to the house with me, let me take a look at your shoulder." Then she pulled Sheng Xuan back to the house.

Xiao Lan also went back to the house to change clothes.

When Xiaolan came out after changing her clothes, Xiaoting had already prepared the meal. Seeing that they came back early today and could just make it in time for dinner, she quickly cooked two fish as a snack.

Xiao Wen ran to Xiao Lan and hugged her thighs, "Second sister, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, it's mainly our father who is tired." Xiao Lan said.

The brother and sister sat in the main room and watched Xiaoting cooking and stewing fish, without disturbing Shengxuan and his wife. She knew very well that her father was seriously injured this time, and his body must not be able to bear dragging a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms all the way.

More than half an hour passed, the fish was cooked, the three siblings put the meal on the table, and the couple finished their conversation and came out.

Tonight we had dry rice and fish soup, which was quite a feast.

After dinner, Zhang brought a hot towel to Sheng Xuan for hot compress. The three children looked at Sheng Xuan's bloody back and felt pain for him. How much pain did he endure to drag the wild boar to the restaurant? He was able to hold back without making a sound. Xiao Lan really looked at her father with new eyes.

After the hot compress, Sheng Xuan went to rest. Xiao Lan was a little worried. She was afraid that her father would fall ill. "Mom, let's start making millet and fish soup for my father tomorrow. Let him rest for a few days before going to the fields."

Zhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, you should also rest at home for a few days."

Xiaolan and Shengxuan have been recuperating at home these days. They have been eating and drinking well at home. Their bodies have recovered very quickly and they have become much stronger.

Zhang, Xiaoting and Xiaowen have already watered the cabbages and radishes in the field. They will be ready to harvest in about ten days. The beans, eggplants and cucumbers in the vegetable garden behind the yard are out of season. In the past few days, every household was busy drying the vegetables. Xiaolan's family had just separated and had no vegetables to dry. Now there are fewer vegetables in the vegetable garden, and Xiaolan's family eats mushrooms almost every meal. Now they are looking forward to harvesting the cabbages and radishes quickly so that they can have more vegetables.

That day, Xiaolan's family had breakfast early and went to town. They couldn't afford a bullock cart yet, but they could buy a wheelbarrow, which would be useful for harvesting vegetables in a few days. When the family was divided, they only got shovels, hoes, and pickaxes, but not a wheelbarrow.

There is a shop in Taihe Town that specializes in selling vehicles. It has flatbed carts, ox carts, and horse carts. What Xiaolan's family is going to buy today is the one-wheeled flatbed cart that is most commonly used by farmers. It is the cheapest of these types of vehicles.

There was nothing to be picky about this kind of car, as long as the body was sturdy and easy to push. Zhang paid half a tael of silver and bought the car.

Sheng Xuan was pushing the cart on the road with a smile on his face. This was the first item his family bought after the separation, and it was of great significance.

"Mom, let's cut some meat to celebrate our new car," Xiaowen suggested.

"I see you are craving for meat." Zhang said with a smile.

Xiaolan and her family walked to the butcher's shop.

"Uncle Wang wants two pounds of pork belly."

"Okay, two pounds of the best pork belly. I'll give you this piece as a bonus." Butcher Zhang wrapped the meat and handed it to Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan had bought meat from him quite often recently and was already a regular customer.

"Hey, Third Brother Sheng bought a car." Butcher Wang greeted Sheng Xuan with a smile.

"Uncle Wang, why are there so many people wearing clothes from other places in this town?" Just now, when her family came here, they saw many people wearing tattered clothes who looked like they were fleeing.
