Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

She warned the children, "I'll be back soon. You must be obedient at home."

The children nodded one after another, and Xiuying set off driving the donkey cart, feeling particularly happy along the way.

When they arrived at Yang's parents' house, Yang's mother came out to greet them with surprise: "Xiuying, why are you here in person?"

Xiuying smiled and said, "I miss you guys."

When Yang's mother saw the flour and rice on the donkey cart, she started to blame her again.

"Xiuying, you always bring so many things every time you come. Don't spend so much money anymore!" Yang's mother said with a frown.

Xiuying quickly explained, "Mom, these are all ours, they're not worth much, I'm giving them to you and Dad to try."

Mother Yang shook her head helplessly: "You are too honest, child." As she said that, she took Xiuying's hand and walked into the house.

Xiuying walked into the house while comforting her, "Mom, the preserved eggs that Lao Sanbao makes can be sold for a lot of money in the city, and the angelica we dug in the mountains can also be sold for silver. I asked the children to plant a lot in the back mountain. Our lives will get better and better."

Mother Yang showed a relieved smile on her face: "That's good, that's good. Seeing that you are living a good life, your father and I are relieved."

Xiuying pulled Yang's mother to sit down and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. Just enjoy your life." Yang's mother patted Xiuying's hand gently and said, "Okay, okay."

Xiuying asked, "How are the preserved eggs selling?"

Mother Yang couldn't stop smiling: "It's great! The preserved eggs were quickly sold out as soon as they were put out, and everyone praised their taste." Mother Yang said excitedly.

Xiuying also laughed: "That's good, as long as it sells well, we can make more money."

Mother Yang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is all thanks to you for getting this recipe for preserved eggs."

Xiuying and her daughter were chatting in the house. Father Yang unloaded the flour and rice from the donkey cart. Yang Qingfeng put the alkali and quicklime needed for eggs and preserved eggs together, and moved the cypress branches into the woodshed.

Father Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Now everything is in order."

Yang Qingfeng also patted the dust off his hands: "Dad, I've got it all done."

In the room, Xiuying and Yang's mother heard the sound and the smiles on their faces became even wider.

Yang Qingfeng packed up his things and walked into the house to happily tell Xiuying, "The preserved egg business is even better than expected."

Xiuying's eyes lit up: "That's great, we need to work harder."

Yang Qingfeng nodded: "Sister, I know, I plan to expand sales channels."

Mother Yang interjected, "Qingfeng is a child with ideas."

Everyone laughed happily and was full of expectations for the future.

Xiuying brought a total of 500 duck eggs and 600 chicken eggs this time. She originally thought that even if the preserved eggs didn't sell well, everyone could still eat these eggs.

Father Yang said with emotion: "Xiuying, you are always so thoughtful."

Xiuying smiled and said, "Dad, we're family, so I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Mother Yang continued, "How can we eat so much? But it's better to prepare some more."

Everyone was chatting with each other, and the room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Yang's mother thought it would be good to earn a few hundred coins a month, but she didn't expect to earn one or two taels of silver in just half a month, which was more than what she earned from blacksmithing.

Mother Yang's face was filled with surprise and disbelief: "I really didn't expect that the preserved egg business would be so prosperous."

Xiuying also smiled and said, "Mom, this is just the beginning. Maybe you can earn more in the future."

Yang Qingfeng was full of confidence: "Yes, mother, if we work hard, our lives will definitely get better and better."

The whole family was immersed in joy and full of anticipation for the future.

As Yang's mother spoke, she took out a purse and placed it in front of Xiuying. Xiuying saw the bulging purse and immediately reached out to push it over.

"Mom, you can't use this. Keep it for yourself." Xiuying said hurriedly.

Mother Yang handed the purse to Xiuying again and said, "This is the money I made from selling preserved eggs. I should give you half of it.

You paid for the eggs and the stuff that wrapped them, so I can't let you suffer a loss."

Xiuying shook her head repeatedly. "We have a lot of expenses at home, so you can keep it. The chickens at home are fed by the children who go up the mountain to cut weeds and dig earthworms. It's free."

Besides, I have too many eggs, and they will go bad if left for too long, so I might as well give you some preserved eggs."

The two of them pushed and pushed for a long time, and finally Yang's mother pretended to be angry: "Xiuying, if you keep pushing it away, I will be unhappy."

Xiuying then accepted the purse somewhat embarrassedly.

Mother Yang still found the scene unreal: "When did it become so easy to make money? Your father has set up a stall outside the blacksmith shop to sell preserved eggs. He can make several hundred coins a month."

Xiuying smiled and said, "Mom, this is a good time for us. As long as we work hard, our future will be even better."

Mother Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's all thanks to you guys."

Yang Qingfeng also came over: "Mom, our family will definitely be able to live in a big house in the future."

Everyone burst into laughter at his words.

Yang's mother had never thought about the big house, but she would not have to worry about food in the future. Even if Yang Qingfeng failed to pass the imperial examination, he would have a skill to make a living.

Mother Yang looked at Yang Qingfeng lovingly and said, "Qingfeng, passing the imperial examination is a good thing, but even if you don't, our preserved egg craftsmanship can still ensure you a stable life."

Yang Qingfeng nodded solemnly: "Mom, I will work hard and not let you down."

Xiuying said from the side: "Qingfeng is a smart and hardworking child. He will definitely have a bright future."

The family sat together, looking forward to a better life in the future, warm and full of hope.

Yang's mother now has some money in her hands and wants to build some family business. She will have to pass this family home to her children in the future and can't just leave these shabby houses. But she hears Xiuying say that Qingshui County might be ceded to the Shang State.

"What? We have to cede land? What should we do?" Mother Yang's face turned pale and her voice trembled.

Xiuying was also worried: "Mom, this news is so convincing, I don't know if it's true or not."

Yang Qingfeng frowned: "If that's the case, our lives will probably be changed."

For a moment, the room was plunged into a heavy atmosphere.

Xiuying comforted him, "No matter where we are, as long as we have money, we can survive. Besides, if there is unrest or war, you can move here and live with your family. We can take care of each other."

After hearing this, Yang's mother calmed down a little and said, "Xiuying, you are very thoughtful. I hope this is just a false alarm."

Yang Qingfeng also said: "Yes, I hope there will be no war and we can live in peace."

Everyone was still in a heavy mood, but Xiuying's words also gave them a little comfort. No matter where you are, money is the most important thing.

Yang Qingfeng also helped his mother sell preserved eggs. There were very few people like Yang Qingfeng who could put aside their status as scholars. However, if the two countries really went to war or Qingshui County was ceded, the most important thing was to have a skill to make a living.
