After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Boss Ye saw who was coming and heard what he said, and stood up excitedly. "Really? How much can you buy? Can you deliver it to the village?"

Ye Dalang and Ye Qing were completely confused when they heard what the two were saying. They couldn't understand what they were saying at all and had no idea what the two were talking about.

Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what did you ask Brother Liu to buy?"

Only then did Boss Ye see his two children. He was so excited just now that he didn't see them come back.

"Qingya, you kept saying you wanted to eat fruit in the winter, so I asked your brother Liu to help find out if there was any caravan coming." Boss Ye touched his daughter's head and explained.

Ye Qing felt swollen in the heart. A word she said casually was remembered by her family.

"Uncle Ye will be here early tomorrow morning. Come early if you want more, and you can pick and choose."

"Go, go, go, go home and tell them to give the ox cart to Dalang and ask him to feed the oxen."

Ye Dalang took the rope, took the cow to the backyard, and fed it some hay.

Ye Qing followed him into the house, poured a glass of water for Liu Bao, pulled a stool over, and listened.

"Uncle Ye's caravan passes by once a year, and most of the fruit trees in Wu'an City are bought from him."

"Are the trees you sell easy to grow? This is my first time buying and I don't have much experience." Boss Ye used to grow crops and had never grown fruit trees.

"They have people to teach them, but they can only stay for one day." Although Liu Bao has never bought one, he goes to watch the fun every year and collects some money to spend.

Boss Ye invited Liu Bao to stay for dinner, and after eating and drinking, he drove away in his ox cart.

Early the next morning, Boss Ye took his two children to the place Liu Bao mentioned.

It was too early to get up, and the weather was still very cold. Zhou took a quilt and put it on the ox cart, and Ye Qing and Ye Dalang sat in the back wrapped in the quilt.

The ox cart was swaying, and soon my head began to nod, and I fell asleep in a daze.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already reached the city gate. Ye Qing patted his face to cheer himself up.

"Dad, how far do we have to go? It's still early, so we should be able to catch up."

"Wake up Qingya, they will stay here for a day, they will definitely catch up."

Ye Qing's head began to sway from side to side. He didn't know which one to choose from the various breakfast stalls on both sides of the road.

Seeing his daughter's tangled look, Boss Ye wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that his daughter would be shy if she heard him, so he could only hold back his laughter.

"Qingya, can you have a bowl of porridge first? It's too cold. Drink something hot to warm your body."

"Brother, are you cold? Let's go over and have some porridge."

Ye Dalang nodded in agreement. The three of them sat in front of the stall selling steamed buns. Each of them had a bowl of porridge and ordered several flavors of steamed buns.

"Brother, can we share it? I can't finish the whole thing by myself. I want to try every flavor."

Ye Dalang looked at his sister lovingly, "Okay, you eat first, and give me the rest."

Boss Ye was a little jealous because his daughter refused to share the food with him.

"Qingya, your brother likes salty food and doesn't like other flavors. You and daddy should share it."

Ye Qing looked at Boss Ye suspiciously, then looked at her eldest brother. How come she didn't know that her eldest brother had this hobby?

Ye Dalang looked at his childish father and helped to round his mouth. "I like salty food." His hand reached for the spiced fire cake.

Ye Qing didn't notice the steamed buns that Ye Dalang had in his hand. He happily tore off a small piece from each bun and ate it with relish.

After the three of them finished their breakfast, the sun had just risen, and they did not go to the courtyard in the city, but went straight to West Street.

As soon as I arrived at West Street, I saw a row of saplings placed on the ground. If you don’t know much about it, you can’t tell what kind of saplings they are.

"What kind of saplings are there here? Are there any fruit trees?" Boss Ye stopped the ox cart and walked over to ask about the saplings.

"Sir, we have all kinds of tree seedlings here, including flower seedlings. Which fruit tree do you want?"

"Give me some of the common ones. I also need some ordinary trees that are a little harder." Boss Ye was preparing for future charcoal burning.

"Elm and oak are very suitable, and these trees are generally used for charcoal making."

Boss Ye was delighted. "Just these two kinds, fifty of each. Can you also introduce some of the fruit trees?"

"Grapes, peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, and grapefruit trees, just these."

"Give me five of each. This should be enough for us to eat." Boss Ye just wants to grow some for his family to eat.

"Are there any flower seedlings that are suitable for planting outside the yard?" Ye Qing wanted to plant some flowers outside the yard.

"Chrysanthemum, Scutellaria barbata, Impatiens balsamina, are three enough? There are no others."

Ye Qing thought about the size of the yard outside and thought that three kinds of flowers would be enough. "Boss, do you have seeds? Sell me some more flower seeds."

"Sir, you asked for a lot, so the flower seeds can be considered a gift from me." The owner of the caravan was also good at doing business.

"How much is this in total?" Boss Ye was worried that he didn't have enough money.

"Sir, I'll give you six taels of silver and send it to your home."

"Can it be cheaper? We're buying so much, please give us a discount." Boss Ye stated the price skillfully.

"Sir, your small business really can't be cheap. We also deliver the flower seeds to your door. They are all delivered by us."

The two of them talked back and forth for a long time, and finally the tree seller took a step back and gave away two more grape trees.

Boss Ye told the shopkeeper the detailed address of Kaoshan Village, and then took the two children to the yard in the city.

The three of them opened the door and carefully checked the doors and windows. They hadn't been here for a while and were afraid that there might be a problem that the children couldn't handle.

The three of them looked around and found nothing wrong, so they sat down in the house to rest for a while. Unable to wait any longer, Ye Dalang unloaded a bag of grain from the ox cart and put it in the kitchen.

The three of them had lunch with the others before going back. Grandma Sun's cooking skills were very good, and Ye Qing's stomach was bulging after eating so much.

"Dad, when we have enough money, we will find someone to help with the cooking so that Mom and Grandma can have a break." Ye Qing was embarrassed to say that except for Ye Erlang, everyone else in the family could cook so-so.

"Then you have to work hard and strive to make a lot of money as soon as possible." Boss Ye couldn't imagine how much money his family would need to have to live as comfortably as the landlord.

Ye Qing looked at Boss Ye’s disbelieving expression and said nothing more. He decided to let the facts speak for themselves.

Ye Qing likes to eat grapes and has already decided where to plant them. The grape vine they bought has been growing for a year, and the shopkeeper said that they can eat grapes in the fall.

After Ye Qing got home, he cleaned up the backyard first, and when the saplings arrived, he put them all in the backyard.

Ye Qing went to the village head's house and said, "Grandpa Village Head, we went to buy saplings today. They were sold by a caravan from another place. Would the village like to buy some?"

"How are the saplings?" asked the head of the village.

"The saplings are growing well and their roots are not damaged. They will definitely survive." Ye Qing saw the condition of the trees at a glance.

"Have the trees been transported back? Do you need your uncle Ye Fang to help?"

“They don’t need to deliver the goods to your door. Villagers who want can visit my house in the afternoon.”
