Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

For Ye Guo, who has enjoyed the convenience of modern transportation and can go anywhere at any time, traveling is really difficult for her.

When she turned around, she saw her family members, all of whom were looking at her with a hint of blame.

Is this, causing public outrage?

So she stopped eating the bayberry and washed her hands neatly. "Should we talk here or in the main hall?"

"Let's go to the main room! Xiaolu and Xiaomu don't need to join, go review your lessons first." Old Man Ye looked solemn.

There's nothing he can do. A girl is no longer under the control of her father when she grows up. He only hates himself for being a farmer.

The two kids would definitely not be happy! Ye Guo wanted to stop them directly, but then he thought about counting the money at home and the kids were too talkative.

So he said to comfort her, "If you have finished your review, you can also help to process the river fish. We will fry the river fish tomorrow."

Seeing that she still looked indifferent and kept asking about food, Old Lady Ye couldn't wait any longer and lifted the curtain to go back to the house to count the silver and money.

After everyone sat down, Ye Wan diligently poured everyone a cup of honeysuckle tea, which is a common tea at home. It tastes a little bitter, but it is the best way to relieve heat after eating hot pot.

"We earned a total of 383 taels from making soap, and the Chen family got 50 taels. Excluding some expenses in the past period of time, we should have made 400 taels." The first ability of a person who can make money is to be good at mathematics.

It doesn’t matter if it’s too complicated, it’s just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Just don’t get cheated and pay money.

"My idea is to pay off the debt first, using the Chen family's name."

"The house needs to be repaired simply to prevent it from leaking. A dirt pit must be built. Cotton-padded clothes and quilts must be bought first. The doors and windows of the house must also be sealed with linen cloth again so that everyone can have a good winter."

"Then there is the purchase of land. Acheng and Ali will both go to school next year, and there will be few laborers at home, so we might as well not buy the land for now. If we can find someone to rent the land to us, we will still have time to buy it in the spring of next year."

In this era, not everyone owns land. Those who don’t have land will choose to become tenant farmers. If they are lucky, they can get 20% of the food.

It was definitely not enough to have enough to eat, so apart from the busy farming season, the tenant farmers would travel between several villages the rest of the time.

The main reason why Ye Guo did not buy the land was that he knew there would be a famine next year.

Everyone agreed with this, and Ye Lao Er even added, "Tomorrow I will go to the county town to deposit some money at Wantong Silver Shop, and I will just need to bring some small change with me. I have asked Boss Sun in advance, and the money at Wantong Lingnan Mansion is universal."

Old Mrs. Ye came out with a cloth bag. Boss Ye hurriedly stood up and closed the door. At the same time, Mrs. Su lit an oil lamp and came out.

The green cloth bag looked very old. Inside it were all the family savings, including silver bills, silver ingots, small change, and a large pile of copper coins.

"Take all of these with you. When you go out, you must have money with you." Old Lady Ye raised another gray purse in her hand. "I've left more than fifty taels here. It's enough."

Others feel like they are just participants.

However, Ye Laoer could tell at a glance that there was at most 20 taels of silver in his mother's purse.

He tilted his head slightly and saw his little sister's frown. He knew that he was not the only one who had discovered this.

"Okay, I'll listen to mom. Second brother, it's not convenient for me to hold this money, so you keep it first. When sister-in-law sews a new purse for me, you can give me some pocket money." Just when Ye Laoer was still wondering how his younger sister would react.

She didn't deal with any of them at all, and just took them all.

What? Expose?

Unless she doesn't want to go to Lingnan anymore.

Feeling that he had finished talking about the main business, Ye Guo could not help but bring up the idea of going up the mountain to pick peppers tomorrow.

When we heard her say that the finished chili sauce could be kept for half a year, everyone became interested.

These days, without preservatives, food storage is absolutely a basic survival skill for everyone.

Soon they began to divide the work, with Boss Ye leading the team and all the younger ones going. Ye Guo also suggested that they try to get a pair of sheep intestine gloves.

To make chili sauce, you have to chop the chili first. If you do it directly, it will be sour and refreshing that even if she wants to eat it, she won't want to feel it.

But ideas are just ideas after all. It is said that sheep gut gloves are worth one or two taels of silver, and you have to have connections to buy them.

Mainly, the use of this thing is... a little special.

The next day, Ye Guo was rarely called up, mainly because she had to find time to go to the county town today.

The last time’s basil sauce received unanimous praise. Even though Ye Wan did not participate in the entire soap production at home, she was visibly more confident and lively.

Ye Guo was happy to see this, so Ye Wan was the main force in picking peppers this time.

The tribal school has six days of classes and one day of rest. Today happened to be the day, so the two little ones followed along crying.

The place to pick peppers was twice as far as the valley, so the men tied their legs, changed into new straw sandals, and then took some dry food and set off.

Old Mrs. Ye was worried about her health, so she took some flour and made meat patties for everyone to share.

Before daybreak, everyone set out in the dark. Along the way, Ye Guo first discovered chestnut trees, wild pear trees, and later laurel trees.

The laurel tree is also used to show off on the path, mainly because the tree is very fragrant.

Ye Guo, live off the land, there is a reason for that. Now, I have discovered another spice, I dug it up with the roots and planted it in the backyard.

With the laurel tree, there is an endless supply of fragrant leaves!

So she harvested as she went, and when she reached the large field of wild peppers, she was shocked again.

Like someone who has never seen the world, she screamed, "Fuck, there are so many peppers. I should have called my eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law as well."

She was not exaggerating. This patch of peppers covered almost one acre of land. They were grown naturally and most of them were half a person's height. If Ye Mu and the others walked in, they could perform a show and disappear on the spot without making any sound.

Moreover, peppers are famous for their high yield. Excluding those that are not even as long as a finger, one chili can yield a pound or even more.

"Don't worry, aunt. Ali and I will come and pick them when the time comes. It won't waste your time. Besides, we are carrying large backpacks today." Ye Cheng said with a smile.

Ye Wan thought more long-term. "Everyone in the village knows that there are chili trees here. By the time we make delicious chili sauce that goes well with rice, it probably won't be our turn to pick them."

"So I'm here to collect the seeds, and you pick them." Ye Guo could see that some of the pepper trees were growing thicker. If they didn't have good genes, they might be old stumps that had grown for several years, which would be perfect for making seeds.

"Chili seeds?" Ye Mu held a chili in his hand and looked at it over and over again. "Where are the seeds?"

"It's the flat, spicy one in the middle of the pepper."

"That's it? You can actually grow chili pepper trees again?"

"If you don't believe me, I'll plant them for you to see when I get home. Although it's too hot this month, if you place them in a cool place and plant a few carefully, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Aunt, do you know when we can plant peppers? If people in the village want to plant something, they have to ask the elders to check the weather first." Ye Lu spoke without restraint.

"Look at the sky?" Ye Guo laughed, "You mean the weather?"

When we were living in the countryside, my grandmother would judge the weather based on the shape of the clouds and the color of the sun.

In this era, it can indeed be called a miracle.
