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

Shen watched the two sisters playing around and did not stop them. The better their relationship was, the happier she was.

Ye Qing told Shen that someone would come to collect the peppercorns tomorrow and asked her to prepare the peppercorns.

Ye Xi sent Ye Qing out and gave her a few cucumbers so that she could cook when she got home.

"No need to see me off. Let's go back. It's just a few steps away. Do you want to wear the bracelet on your left or right hand?"

"Left hand." Ye Xi patted herself, but was still caught.

Ye Qing hurried home, "Hahahaha, I won. I'll let my second sister treat me to a meal tomorrow."

Ye Xi felt amused after she felt annoyed. This Qing girl was actually thinking about her.

Ye Qing achieved his goal and walked into the door humming a little tune.

Ye Dalang was weaving a basket when he saw Ye Qing come in.

"Qingya, what happened? You're so happy."

"I made a bet with my second sister, and I won. She wants to treat me to a meal." Ye Qing shared the news with his brother.

Ye Dalang was amused by the two girls, "You two are still betting, the little money she earned from you was won back by you, be careful or she will come to you to cry."

Ye Qing was even happier. "If my second sister cries, I will let everyone in the family come and laugh at her."

Ye Dalang looked at his sister lovingly, thinking she was still a child who had not grown up.

The next morning, Ye Qing first visited two workshops. Seeing nothing important, he went home and waited to sell the peppercorns.

Tietou went to the village entrance to wait early in the morning, worried that the manager had passed by and gone to another village.

It was almost noon when the manager came over with two men driving a ox cart.

"Little brother, sorry to have kept you waiting. Mr. Liu from the city went to our convoy to buy something this morning and was delayed for a while."

When Tietou saw them coming, the anxiety in his heart disappeared.

"Manager Zhao, we didn't wait long. You are too polite. Let's go and sit down in the village to rest."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, little brother." Then he followed Tietou into the village.

"Little brother, what is the name of your village? I forgot it after hearing it yesterday."

"Our village is called Kaoshan Village. In the past, the village was leaning against the mountain, and now it is at the foot of the mountain."

Manager Zhao took a look at Tushan and thought that the name of the village was really apt.

"Your village is really well built. The alleys are straight and the houses are square."

Tietou likes to hear people praise the village, "We moved here later, and the village head allocated the residential land, so the construction is so neat."

"You have a great talent. Most people can't do this."

As they talked, they walked to the village meeting hall, which was spacious and suitable for discussing business.

"Manager Zhao, you guys take a rest first. Will you go check each household later, or ask the villagers to bring them over?"

Manager Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go check on them at home. They must be tired bringing them here. I just need to walk a few steps."

Tietou went to the house next door to get some hot water to make tea for the two of them.

At this moment, the sun rose and there was no one at the door of the conference hall.

Tietou glanced at the conference room. It was empty with only a few tables and chairs.

He might as well let the two of them wait for a while and he would be back soon.

"Little brother, don't bother with that. We can just drink some water."

Tietou didn't agree. This was the tea that Ye Qing bought and placed in the conference room.

Ye Qing's two workshops often used the meeting hall to entertain visiting merchants.

The inside is clean and tidy, very suitable for office use.

When Tietou came back, there was no one in the room.

"Manager Zhao, where are you?" Tietou's anxious voice sounded.

Following Ye Fang who came to help, he took a few quick steps and entered the yard.

"Iron Head, what's wrong?"

"Little brother, we are here. It's embarrassing to solve personal problems along the way, so let's use your toilet here."

Tietou didn't think much about it and asked everyone to sit down.

"Manager Zhao, I didn't think carefully enough and forgot to take you there."

Ye Fang was a little confused, the toilet in the meeting hall was not in that direction. Then he thought, maybe they were going to visit other places.

Tietou poured tea for the people that Manager Zhao was going to pick up, and Ye Fang chatted with them and introduced the Sichuan peppercorns in the village.

"Where did you buy the pepper seeds for your village? We went out to do business and went to many places but didn't see anyone selling them." Manager Zhao asked curiously.

Tietou didn’t know where Ye Qing came from. The pepper trees in their family were transplanted from the Ye family’s forest on the mountain.

Manager Zhao realized that he couldn't get any more information out of his questions, so he stopped asking and changed the subject to something else.

After resting for a while, Tietou and Ye Fang accompanied Manager Zhao to go to Ye’s house first, as his family had the most peppercorns.

Ye Qing was waiting at home. She wanted to see Manager Zhao in person.

"Qingya, this is Manager Zhao."

Ye Qing exchanged a few polite greetings and then called Boss Ye out.

Boss Ye saw Manager Zhao who was accompanied by several people and came over to say hello.

After greeting each other, the two went to the back warehouse to check out the peppercorns.

The freshly dried peppercorns are bright in color. Grab a handful, put them under your nose and smell them, and a spicy aroma lingers at the tip of your nose.

"This peppercorn is really good, and the drying method is also correct. I want peppercorns of this quality."

Boss Ye was a little bit incredulous, "There are several hundred kilograms at home, do you want them all?"

"Several hundred kilograms." Manager Zhao hesitated.

Boss Ye and Tietou's hearts were in their throats, fearing that they would hear that there wouldn't be so much to say.

Fortunately, Manager Zhao didn't let the two wait any longer. "A few hundred kilograms is fine. I'll take them all away for you."

Boss Ye took Manager Zhao to the main hall. It was almost noon, so he wanted to keep Manager Zhao for lunch.

Ye Fang was also left behind and had dinner with Manager Zhao together with Tietou.

Ye Qing didn't go over. They drank and ate slowly, and she didn't want to eat with them.

Besides, this job has been given to Tietou, and now he has Ye Fang to help him, so there is nothing to worry about.

I just heard Manager Zhao speak, and he seems to be a well-informed businessman.

It took the people in the main room more than an hour to finish their meal.

Manager Zhao and Old Man Ye had a very interesting chat. Old Man Ye told him about the difficulties and dangers he encountered on the road to escape famine, and Manager Zhao told him about the horse bandits he encountered on the trade route.

The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and if Boss Ye hadn't stopped them, they would have wanted to become sworn brothers.

After dinner, Manager Zhao saw that it was still early and wanted to walk around the village and take a look at the peppercorns from other families.

Tietou also had the same idea, so he took him to start from Ye Laoer's house, which was next to Ye Laoda's.

Ye Qing did not go with them. She had looked at the peppercorns from several other shops and found that the quality was no different from her own.

As the sun was setting, Tietou and Ye Fang came to the Ye family again. "Qingya, Manager Zhao has left. They have to buy some other things in the city, and finally came to our village to buy peppercorns."

Ye Fang added, "Come back five days later to get the peppercorns, so we can save them for him."

Ye Qing had no objection. She knew that the caravan would not buy just one thing, they would definitely buy something else.

"Qingya, Manager Zhao is still trying to poach people from our village. He met Liu Jing on the way and wanted to invite him to join their caravan."
