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

"Boss, your noodles taste really good. They are the best I've had in this city." Boss Ye first praised the shop's cooking skills.

The noodle shop owner smiled proudly, "My noodle shop has been run for three generations, and no one has ever said anything bad about the food. You are from other places and have never been here before."

"We are fleeing famine and now live in Kaoshan Village. We raise some poultry at home and they have just started laying eggs. We came to the city to find a market for them."

The noodle shop owner also raises chickens at home, but his old man is too old, so the boss doesn't allow him to raise chickens anymore. He was just about to go out to buy some eggs.

The noodle shop owner took a look at the eggs in Boss Ye's hand and readily ordered 100 eggs, including chicken eggs and duck eggs and goose eggs each, also to be delivered every five days.

Boss Ye suddenly came to an idea and went to ask at several vegetable stores. He then ordered another 100 pieces, all to be delivered every five days.

Boss Ye decided to deliver the eggs before happily pushing Ye Qing back.

On the way out of the city, I bought another two pounds of fat and one pound of bones. I went back to make oil from the fat and soup from the bones.

It was dark when they arrived at the village entrance. Ye Chenjing and his second brother fed the chickens and ducks at home and waited for Boss Ye to come back at the village entrance.

"Brother, we sold the eggs and bought some meat. We'll go back and cook it for mom." Ye Qing spoke to his two brothers while sitting in the car.

"Qingya has been sold out. Is it so easy to sell?"

"We didn't sell all of today's. We took 300 out, sold 220, gave away 22, and we went to see Dr. Lin to give the rest to them."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back." Boss Ye interrupted their conversation. There were a lot of people outside and it would be bad if someone heard them.

When the three of them got home, dinner was ready.

"The eldest son is back. Let's eat first and talk after dinner." Mrs. Li felt sorry for her son who was tired after a day, so she quickly let him eat first.

After dinner, Li helped her daughter-in-law clear the table, and the whole family sat in the main room, listening to them talk about their experiences in the city.

Ye Qing spoke first, "We sold 220 eggs today, 80 chicken eggs, 60 duck eggs, and 80 goose eggs, and earned 300 coins."

Ye Dalang and his companions all had smiles on their faces, as they accounted for 40% of the money they earned.

Ye Qing repeated the plan of delivering 600 eggs to the city every five days, and the smiles on everyone's faces became more obvious.

"Dad, please take out the money and let's divide it up."

Boss Ye took out his purse and poured the copper coins inside onto the table. Ye Chenjing took over the job of counting the money.

Ye Chenjing counted the copper coins one hundred at a time, and when he had a hundred, he strung them together with a rope, making three strings in total.

Ye Qing calculated again, "Brother, I sold 80 goose eggs, two cents each, and you took 64%, which is cents."

"Brother, I sold 60 duck eggs at one cent each, and you took 24 cents.

"Fifth brother, I sold 80 eggs at one cent each, and you took 32 cents."

Zhou listened with a smile on her face, counted 64 and gave them to the eldest son, 24 to the second son, and 32 to the third son.

Ye Dalang and his companions had never had so much money in their hands before, and they were a little hesitant to accept it for a moment.

"Brother, take it quickly. You raised me. This is my hard-earned money."

Zhou touched the remaining 180 coins in her hand and advised her sons, "Take it, feed them well in the future, and try to make more money."

Ye Dalang and his companions then picked it up and put it in their pockets, their faces flushed with excitement.

Ye Qing was afraid that everyone was not stimulated enough, so he started to calculate again. We deliver 600 eggs to the city in five days, and geese lay one egg every two days, so that's 225 chicken eggs, 225 duck eggs, and 150 goose eggs. We can earn taels a month, and the eldest brother can get more than coins, and the second and third brothers can get more than coins.

Ye Dalang and his companions felt that the surprise came too suddenly. At half a tael of silver a month, even if they laid eggs for half a year, they could save more than three taels of silver.

After hearing this, the smile on Zhou's face disappeared and she felt a little regretful. Why would a child keep so much money in his hands?

Ye Qing saw that Zhou's face looked a little strange, so he quickly winked at his three brothers.

Ye Dalang and his friends quickly expressed their opinions, "Mom, we will take good care of the chickens and ducks in the future and strive to earn more money. We will not spend the money recklessly."

Zhou's complexion looked better, and she figured it out. After giving them the money, they would work more actively in the future.

"Mom, I'm so tired after walking all day. I'm going to sleep first." Ye Qing quickly found an excuse to slip away.

Ye Dalang and his companions also followed out. They wanted to find a place to hide the money.

Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li were watching happily from the side. Their children were able to earn money, and the old couple could take a rest.

Ye Laoda persuaded his wife for a few words and went to sleep. In fact, Zhou was also happy because the family started to make money. She was just afraid that her sons would not be able to save it, so she scared them.

Ye Dalang and his friends got up even earlier and fed the chickens and ducks, which were their cash cows.

Zhou was very satisfied with her sons' performance. She went to the riverbank to pick some eggplants and roasted them with the leftover oil.

Eat big bones at noon, add more vegetables, and drink a few bowls of it. Summer harvest is coming soon, so you must take care of your body first.

Boss Ye was discussing with Old Man Ye, "Dad, let's buy a cow. We have to go to the city to deliver eggs every five days. It's inconvenient without a cow."

Old Man Ye was happy. Cows were treasures to farmers. After the summer harvest, they could plow the land faster with cows.

"Boss, you make the decision. We are old now, so you should take care of the family affairs."

"Next time Dad goes to the city, you should come with me. I haven't chosen one."

"Okay, I'll go and take a look for you." Old Man Ye had helped people feed livestock when he was young, so he knew a little bit about it.

Ye Qing went to see his pepper tree. The tree was already as tall as a man and would produce peppers in three years.

The cotton plants have grown much taller, and Ye Qing sees that it is time to top them, which means pinching off the tips of the cotton plants to prevent them from growing any taller, so that all the fertilizer can be used to produce cotton bolls.

After Ye Qing finished with the cotton, he went to look at the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes had been turned over twice, and usually they needed three times. The pumpkins were also blooming, and they would grow up soon.

The vegetable seeds sown on the wasteland were scattered here and there, and the growth was not very even, but they were all edible. If they were not eaten, they would become old.

Ye Qing picked a few large lettuces and prepared to take them back to feed the rabbits. More than 20 rabbits would eat two baskets of grass every day.

As soon as Ye Qing walked to the door, he smelled the aroma of bone soup. "Is the soup almost done, mom? It smells so good."

"Qingya is back, go wash your hands, you'll be ready soon."

"The vegetables in the wasteland are all edible, and the vegetables on the riverbank are ripe. What if we don't have time to eat them? It would be a pity to waste them."

"I'll ask your brother to collect them this afternoon. There are enough vegetables on the riverbank for us to eat now. Don't worry, they won't go bad."

Zhou also instructed Ye Qing: "When your brother is harvesting, you should also go and see, and save the ones that the rabbits eat and don't pick them."
