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

Tietou looked unhappy, and after thinking about what happened today, he said it out loud.

"There are four pharmacies in Wu'an City, two big ones and two small ones. The biggest one asked for 100 kilograms, and the other one asked for 50 kilograms. The two small ones didn't ask for peppercorns. Their pharmacies can't sell more than two kilograms a year. They still have more than half of the five kilograms they bought last year."

The smiles on Boss Ye and Ye Qing's faces froze. More than one thousand taels of silver became three hundred taels.

My heart aches, the little money has flown away.

"Have you asked elsewhere?" Ye Qing did not give up.

"We went there, and all the caravans went there. Not many people were willing to buy. Even if they were willing to buy, they only wanted a few kilograms." Tietou said in a low voice.

Old Man Ye comforted the others, "Three hundred taels is not a small amount. How many years of crops would it take to earn three hundred taels?"

Boss Ye thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. One should be content with what he has.

"Qingya, we'll keep the ones we can't sell for ourselves."

"We can't eat much. It will go bad after a while."

After saying that, he turned to look at Tietou and said, "Have you been to the spice shop? Sichuan peppercorns can also be used as spices."

Only rich families can afford spices; ordinary people cannot.

Tietou agreed without thinking and went to the city to ask early the next morning.

The mosquito coil workshop was closed, and Tietou had nothing to do, so Ye Qing handed over the pepper business to him to give him some practice.

After Tietou finished speaking, he went home to rest. He had been running all day and was so tired that he could hardly lift his legs.

Ye Qing couldn't sleep. He kept thinking of a solution in his mind, but Wu'an City was so small that he definitely couldn't sell so many peppercorns.

Ye Qing didn't know what time he fell asleep. As he was thinking, his mind became fuzzy.

The next morning, Tietou drove the ox cart to Wu'an City without even having time to eat breakfast.

Ye Qing heard the sound of the ox cart going away, but he was still worried.

Ye Qing thought about it in the study for the whole morning but couldn't find a solution.

I could only put it aside for now and go to my aunt's house to deliver the freshly made chili sauce.

The dish was prepared by chef Li, who added roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and melon seeds.

After the chilies are dried, ground into powder and cooked with hot oil, they are very fragrant.

Ye Qing likes to go see Xiubao. The little girl is almost one year old and can’t walk yet, but she crawls very fast and you can easily lose her if you’re not careful.

"Xiubao, did you miss me? I brought you some delicious food."

The little girl is chubby and has a rosy face, very cute.

There is a pair of beautiful dimples on her round face and a pair of watery eyes that roll around from time to time, showing a clever and naughty spirit.

"Xiubao, call me sister, ask me to buy you some candy."

Xiubao still remembered Ye Qing and held out her arms for her to hold. She had been lying in the cradle all morning and had long wanted to go out and take a look.

Ye Qing couldn't help but reach out and hug the fat baby in front of him.

Xiubao was picked up and babbled something to Ye Qing.

The two of them were chatting happily, and Ye Qiu suspected that they were talking about their own things and no one cared about what the other was talking about.

Xiubao stretched out his hand and pointed outside, shouting "ah ah ah".

Ye Qing kissed her chubby cheek and teased her, "Call me sister, and I'll take you out to play."

Xiubao ignored her and continued to scream, asking Ye Qing to take her out to play.

Ye Qiu was watching from the side and found it hilarious. The two of them were talking at cross purposes for a long time and hadn't even left the house.

"Qingya, are you tired? Xiubao has gained weight in the past two days, and my arms hurt from holding him for a while."

"Auntie, I'm not tired. I just held her for a while. I won't feel tired even if I hold such a cute Xiubao for a whole day."

Ye Qiu looked at the shameless girl in front of him and was happy that they were getting close.

"Qingya, take her for a walk in the yard. She saw a butterfly in the yard yesterday and has been wanting to go out today."

At this time, Xiubao saw that Ye Qing didn't go out, and she became so anxious that her mouth pursed, her eyes narrowed, and she was about to start crying.

Ye Qing didn't dare to tease her anymore, and he and his aunt left the house one after another.

As soon as I went out, I saw a butterfly flying in from the courtyard wall and landing on a flower in the yard.

Xiubao's eyes were fixed on the butterfly, and Ye Qing deliberately turned around so that Xiubao could face the butterfly sideways.

Xiubao was very smart now. He turned around and stared at the butterfly on the flower.

Ye Qing held Xiubao in her arms and walked towards the flower, getting closer to the butterfly so she could see it more clearly.

Ye Qing was amused by the little girl's expression. He flapped his butterfly wings and blinked his eyes.

The two approached and startled the butterfly, which spread its wings and flew away.

The little girl was startled by the flying movement of the butterfly and her little body trembled.

Ye Qing quickly touched her hair, muttering, "Touch the hair, you won't be scared. Touch the ears, you will be scared for a while. Touch the hands, your soul won't leave."

This is what Grandma Sun saw when she came out of the kitchen. The little girl is so cute, much better than the brat.

The two played in the yard for a while, and the little girl began to rub her eyes. Ye Qing was so scared that he quickly gave her to her aunt.

The little girl is very cute when she is not crying, but once she starts crying she can't stop and it's heartbreaking to watch.

Ye Qiu was experienced, so he carried his daughter into the house and waved his hand for Ye Qing to come in and play.

After walking around the house with her in my arms for a while, the little girl fell asleep.

Ye Qiu carefully put her on the bed, covered her with a small quilt, and then tiptoed out.

"Qingya, there are cakes bought by your uncle on the counter. Try them. They are not as delicious as Erlang's, but they are more innovative."

Ye Qing was curious about what kind of pastries could be considered innovative by his aunt. After all, when Ye Erlang came back, he would send pastries to several families.

Ye Qing walked over, took out the package of pastries, carefully opened the wax paper, and was surprised by the pastries in front of him.

This is too ugly. It looks like a finished pastry that fell on the ground and then was picked up and put into the oven to bake.

Ye Qiu looked at his niece's expression and laughed beside her. He just laughed twice, then remembered Xiubao sleeping in the room and lowered his voice.

"Can you eat this? It really didn't fall on the ground."

Ye Qiu had finally managed to stop laughing, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Isn't it novel? This is how they make it. Because it looks strange, many people buy it home to try, so their business is booming."

Ye Qing felt relieved, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

"Gu, this pastry is delicious, glutinous and not too sweet. This shop is really good at doing business."

Ye Qiu agreed with this, she thought so too. This pastry has amused several people, and everyone's expression is very funny.

After Ye Qing finished his cakes, he played for a while, then seeing that it was getting late, he went home to help with the cooking.

Tietou should be back soon. I wonder how the conversation went today.

When he got home, Boss Ye was sifting the peppercorns with a sieve, filtering out the black seeds and cooking them as fertilizer.
