Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Because there were few ingredients, Xu Wenyan didn't cook much.

Everyone felt a little unsatisfied after eating.

After eating, Xu Wenyan took Luo Sanyuan to Aman's house to collect the remaining apricots.

This guy is really too impatient.

The two men each drove a carriage, and the backpacks in the carriages were filled to the brim.

Xu Wenyan added baffles to these backpacks, otherwise the vegetables and fruits in them would have been crushed and there would be no point in selling them.

With just this backpack, Xu Wenyan couldn't tell how many pounds it weighed.

The tree in Aman's house is not very big. Aina helps pick the fruits from below, while Luo Sanyuan climbs directly onto the tree.

"Old Xu, this tree has so many fruits."

Luo Sanyuan stuffed the largest apricot into his mouth, and wherever his eyes looked, there was golden color.

For a moment, Luo Sanyuan didn't know which one to pick.

"Pick it quickly."

After picking a basket full, Xu Wenyan weighed it carefully. Based on his experience, the apricots here weighed about ten to twenty kilograms. Xu Wenyan picked a lot, so he calculated forty cents for one basket.

In fact, they sell it to the county at about the same price.

If it were in Fengxian County, the price would only be higher, but there are more apricots here and they are not a rare thing.

That is to say, the sales are better because many merchants from Central Plains have come recently.

The price Xu Wenyan gave was considered high.

At this point Xu Wenyan couldn't help but sigh, if he had a portable space, stored the things here, and sold them in Beijing, how much money would he make.

If he works for him for a few years, he will become the richest man in the world.

However, fantasy is beautiful and reality is cruel. After working for half an hour, the apricots on the tree were almost all harvested.

There are some that are impossible to pick and can be knocked down with a stick, but Xu Wenyan thinks it’s better to leave some to feed the birds.

When I was at my uncle's house, every household would not harvest all the fruit from the trees. They would leave some for the small animals to eat.

"Ayina, are you going to stay home or come with us?" Xu Wenyan packed the apricots and left them at Ayina's house first, ready to take them when he returned.

Aina grabbed the corner of Xu Wenyan's clothes, and Xu Wenyan understood.

This time they went to the village chief's house. Before they arrived, they saw the old village chief and his wife busy under the apricot tree.

Mubarak went to the mine with Xu Dashan and others, leaving only the two old people at home.

Occasionally Guli would come over to help and bring some food.

"Village Chief, please slow down."

Xu Wenyan was also frightened when he saw Bayibu trying to climb the tree. He is so old, it would be terrible if he fell from the tree.

"Xiao Chen is here." Baibu smiled happily: "The apricots are ripe. I wanted to pick some and ask Guli to give them to you."

"For this kind of thing in the future, just let Aman tell us and we can do it ourselves," Xu Wenyan quickly helped Bayibu down.

Compared with Aman's house, the apricot tree in the village chief's house is much bigger and bears more apricots.

If we take all of these back, we won’t be able to finish processing them today.

"Lao Luo, pick the ones that are slightly ripe, and keep the green ones for now." Xu Wenyan still had to wait until the evening to go back and taste the apricots.

If it’s too sour, it won’t sell well.

"Okay." After saying that, Luo Sanyuan climbed up the tree with the basket on his back.

Xu Wenyan is also a capable person. Climbing trees was a common thing for him when he was a child, and he can still do it now.

Aina watched as both of them climbed up and tried to go up as well, but was stopped by the village chief.

"It's dangerous up there, so stay with us old men and old ladies picking them down there."

After picking for a while, Xu Wenyan discovered that the varieties of these trees were somewhat different.

There are two yellow apricot trees and one oil apricot tree. The oil apricot tree is smaller and sourer.

Fortunately, we were under a tree and not exposed to direct sunlight.

It is quite enjoyable to pick and eat the fruits from the tree.

Today's harvest has been almost completed. Xu Wenyan went down to count and found that he had picked ten baskets in total.

Aina has four frames, and these are enough to keep me busy today.

"Village Chief Baiyibu, I'll give you forty coins for one basket, and your total is four hundred coins." Xu Wenyan was about to pay, and Baiyibu became a little anxious.

"Why are there so many? How can these apricots cost 400 coins?"

Xu Wenyan knew that although Bayibu and the others thought they had picked too much, in fact they had picked quite a lot, and the remaining apricots were only enough to pick another dozen baskets.

The money earned from these three trees was only one or two taels of silver, but Xu Wenyan had already made a lot of money.

And the cheapest thing in this era is labor.

Xu Wenyan hired workers to help him process the products, and he could earn several times, or even dozens of times more by selling them. Naturally, Xu Wenyan would not think it was too much.

"This is the price right now, Village Chief, just keep it. This is the cheapest price I can offer, and I may not charge you more later, so just take it."

Without saying anything more, Xu Wenyan pulled Luo Sanyuan away quickly.

After returning home, we peel the skin, steam it, and then dry it in the sun.

Just these fourteen frames almost cost Xu Wenyan his life.

Later, we had to ask Chen Sanlin and others to help us to complete the task.

All the containers at home that can hold things have been taken to the drying room to dry the apricots, and the apricots will be taken out to dry again when the sun rises tomorrow.

However, the apricots that were dried in the morning have been dried. After Xu Wenyan tasted them, they were sweet and sour.

It’s not too sour, nor too sweet, just a pure natural taste, which is quite good.

It's dry enough here, so the apricots don't get moldy.

It saved a lot of money.
