"About half a tael of silver. We used to have a loom at home." Ye Wan's voice became lower and lower.

Ye Guo knew that this topic could not be continued.

Suddenly, she saw yellow and white trumpet-shaped flowers blooming on the green vines at the edge of the field, and her eyes lit up.

"Xiao Wan, do you recognize this flower?"

"I don't know where it is, but there seems to be one in the back mountain, right next to the bamboo forest. On the back of the mountain, there is a clump of trees covered with it. But aunt, it's not easy to grow it even if we pick it back." Ye Wan hesitated.

“Are you sure you look exactly like this flower?”

Ye Wan hesitated when asked. She picked a few flowers and examined them carefully, then nodded with certainty.

"Xiao Wan, we have made money." Ye Guo winked at her.

Because she had sold pearls before and solved her urgent problem, she was very confident and would never follow the same route as the heroine and sell food.

But to be honest, seeing that the situation at home had not improved much, she was getting anxious and a little angry.

Especially, when Ye Lao Er asked her if she could sell the basil sauce, she refused decisively, but in fact she was thinking about making soap.

But don't put all your eggs in one basket.

The suggestion to make chili sauce is undoubtedly a signal of compromise.

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected turns and the originally planned road was half open.

"Aunt, are you talking about this flower?" Ye Wan's pupils trembled. "Can this flower be sold for money?"

Ye Guo nodded and reached out to pinch a handful. They were white and yellow, so beautiful.

"This flower is called honeysuckle, and it is a very common medicinal herb."

"That……"

"This honeysuckle is not very big, so we just uprooted it and planted it in the backyard. In the summer, we boil water with it and drink it. It is very refreshing."

"Go to the fields and call Ali and the others. We'll go pick some fruits with our backpacks before the sun sets and before it gets dark."

Ye Wan didn't delay. She gathered the honeysuckle vines together, pulled them up easily, put them carefully in the backpack, then turned and walked quickly to the field.

Ah Cheng had good eyesight and saw Ye Wan from a distance, so he shouted to Su, "Mom, my sister is here. I'll go over and ask about the situation."

Everyone in the field raised their heads. Old Lady Ye frowned. "Didn't we ask her to stay at home with Xiaoguo? Did something happen to Xiaoguo?"

Now Old Man Ye and the others were also anxious, but they had not finished pulling out all the grass for the day. For the moment, they could only hope that Ah Cheng would walk faster.

Ye Cheng ran back, saving a lot of time. He stopped in front of Old Man Ye, holding his knees and panting, "My sister said that my aunt asked Ali and me to go back with her to pick herbs."

These words were spoken in a low voice, and only Boss Ye and Old Lady Ye, who were with Old Man Ye, heard them. Everyone was shocked and delighted.

When Old Lady Ye heard this, she wanted to go by herself, but Old Man Ye pulled her back and scolded her, "Go back and arrange dinner later, and let the eldest son take the children."

This couldn't be more reasonable and appropriate. Old Lady Ye could only suppress her curiosity and solemnly admonished Old Master Ye, "Listen to Xiaoguo in everything. Be sure to pay attention to the children's safety. Also, tell the children to keep their mouths shut."

The last sentence was really redundant. His family had been eating lotus root tips for more than ten days, and no one in the village had noticed it.

Seeing that Boss Ye had also returned, Ye Guo felt that it was a bit of a fuss. "Brother, I can't guarantee whether the baking can be successful. Why are you here too?"

Boss Ye found the largest backpack in the house and put it on his back, while he also held a machete in one hand.

"It's okay. I'll go up the mountain with you guys. Have you brought all the scissors at home? If they're not enough, ask Xiaowan to borrow some from Aunt Li."

Ye Guo waved his hands quickly, "No, no, actually you don't need scissors. I thought of bringing scissors just to speed up the process and keep the herbs clean and tidy."

"That's all, the sun has already set, hurry up."

Even Xiaowan went with them, so there was no one left at home to cook dinner.

After arriving at the place, Ye Guo finally understood what it meant to live off the land.

When large areas of honeysuckle are in full bloom, it looks like a golden ocean.

"Brother, Ah Cheng, Ah Li, Xiao Wan, please pay attention. We only pick buds or flowers that have just opened. Green buds are fine, but we don't want flowers that are in full bloom because they don't have enough medicinal properties."

Ali went to the backyard to look at the honeysuckle that had not yet been planted. He walked fast and had already picked quite a few. After hearing what she said, he said angrily, "Aunt, you should have told me earlier! I always pick whichever one looks pretty. Now, I can't keep any in the basket."

Ye Guo felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't think of that before either."

Then Ah Li was suddenly slapped on the back by Ah Cheng, who scolded him, "You are so talkative. I left in a hurry just now and I haven't even caught my breath yet."

Ye Li then noticed that the little aunt was sweating, and he was immediately annoyed. He took off the bamboo tube filled with water from his waist and handed it to her, "Little aunt, have a drink. The stone over there is shaded by the tree, so it should be cooler."

"Auntie, just sit still and we can do the physical work of picking flowers."

Looking at the people who were full of confidence, although Ye Guo wanted to help, she was very self-aware.

"Okay, okay, I'll just watch from the side." I was thinking, if you pick the fruits wrong, I can correct you in time.

There is strength in numbers. It only took the Ye family one hour to fill the backpacks they brought with honeysuckle.

When she got home, it was almost dark. Old Mrs. Ye had no intention of preparing meals. She just made the arrangements and waited at the door with her eyes wide open.

Old Man Ye cleaned himself up, but he kept circling at the door.

Seeing a few people coming back, the two of them hurried to meet them.

"Boss, are you safe? Xiaoguo, you're hungry, eat an egg first."

"Xiao Wan, give the backpack to Grandpa and drink some water first."

Ye Guo was not too tired, nor did he feel hungry. Seeing Ye Lao Er leaning over the backpack to observe, he smiled and asked, "Second brother, have you planted the honeysuckle at home?"

"Don't worry, they've already been planted. Xiaomu and the others have watered and fertilized them. Honeysuckle, what a nice name." Ye Laoer commented, "You've picked so many, have you finished picking all of them?"

"No, Dad. We didn't pick even half of them because my aunt said we only wanted the flower buds, so a lot of them were wasted." After taking a full gulp of water, Ye Li hurriedly replied. His tone was full of regret.

Ye Guo laughed and said, "Mom, please find all the winnowing baskets at home, rinse them with water, and then dry them. We must deal with these picked fruits immediately, otherwise they will all be wasted."

Before he finished speaking, Wang came over from the backyard and said, "I'm glad you're back. Go fill your stomachs first. The dustpan has been washed and dried. Little sister, tell us what to do and we'll do it."

Ye Guo...really, we have such a good understanding.

"First, take out the honeysuckle in the basket and spread it out evenly."

After entering the main room, even though I wasn't hungry, I was instinctively tempted by the food.

Ye Guo was not pretentious. He picked up the bowl, added basil sauce to whet the appetite, then added green vegetables, radishes, lotus roots, and everything else into the bowl. Then he squatted by the eaves with the bowl in his hand.

Eat and watch.
