I have been farming since I crossed over.

After tying up the wild boar, Yang Mingxi looked up at the sky. It was almost the end of the hour, so he asked everyone to go pick some more herbs. Shen Shichu was going to go home, catch the ox cart, and go to the county to sell the wild boar.

Everyone dispersed to gather herbs. Yang Mingxi was gathering herbs near the tied-up wild boar. Just as Yang Mingxi was enjoying her gathering, Zheng Huairen came over and saw Yang Mingxi and called out, "Xixi, are you gathering herbs? How many have you gathered? Are you going home?"

Hearing the sound, Yang Mingxi emerged from the bushes and looked at Zheng Huairen. "I've picked some herbs. It's almost time to go back." She then looked at the pheasants and rabbits hanging on his body and said, "Not a bad harvest. How many did you hunt in total?"

Zheng Huairen smiled and said, "Four pheasants and three hares. We didn't see a single roe deer today. It's a bit strange. We hurried home. I think some large animals have come to Changhu Mountain. It's not safe in the mountains anymore."

Yang Mingxi also found that the mountain was too quiet, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, but we hunted a big wild boar today. Could it be because of this?" Yang Mingxi pointed to the big wild boar hanging on the tree in the distance while speaking.

Zheng Huairen opened his mouth in shock when he heard Yang Mingxi's words. Following the direction Yang Mingxi pointed, he saw a wild boar weighing over 400 kilograms. He gasped and asked, "How did you hang such a big wild boar?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and pointed to the branch and the rope tied to the tree. "Using the branch and the tree can save a lot of energy."

Zheng Huairen circled the hanging wild boar several times, gave a thumbs-up and said, "Amazing! You guys managed to hang it up with just a few of you. Not bad! How did you catch it? I didn't even see any wounds."

Everyone else shook their heads and gestured for Zheng Huairen to look at Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingyu. Yang Mingyu rolled his eyes and said, "I got it just like that, without getting a single hair hurt. How's that?"

Zheng Huairen nodded and said, "Impressive! There are always people who are better than you. This budget is incredible. Come on, I'll carry it back with you." After saying that, he looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "It's really possible that Changhu Mountain is relatively quiet because of this big guy. This big guy shouldn't be here."

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Let's go back. I hope it's because of this, otherwise it will be dangerous."

The original plan was that except for Yang Mingxi, Yang Minghao and Yang Mingchao would take turns carrying the wild boar, and carry the wild boar back together with the remaining five older brothers. Now that Zheng Huairen was added, the two younger ones, Yang Mingchao and Yang Minghao, were no longer needed, and the other six people carried the big wild boar back to Changshan Village.

When everyone arrived at the lake, Yang Mingxi suggested that they carry it directly to the reclaimed land, which was closer because it was along the same route that Zheng Huairen took last time.

After a while, everyone arrived at the reclaimed land. Everyone was very happy to see Yang Mingxi and others hunt a big wild boar.

Yang Mingyang quickly stopped plowing and asked from a distance, "Xier, are we going to the county to sell it now? I'll harness the ox cart."

Yang Mingyu shouted with a smile: "Second brother, come and harness the ox cart, let's go to the county and sell it while it's still alive and fresh, so the price will be good." While talking to his second brother, he led everyone to lift the wild boar onto the ox cart.

Yang Mingxi, Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingyang drove an ox cart towards the county. Zheng Huairen had already returned home, but for some reason, he thought about it and picked up the pheasants and rabbits he had hunted and drove Yang Mingxi and the others away.

When they were almost at the county town, Zheng Huairen caught up with Yang Mingxi and the others and said, "I'm thinking of selling the pheasants and rabbits too, so they won't be stale tomorrow."

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "That's right. Let's go straight to the restaurant. It's dinner time now. If everyone sees the wild boar, the restaurant's business will be better tomorrow."

A group of people came to the restaurant. The waiter saw them from afar and hurried back to call the shopkeeper.

When Yang Mingxi and the others arrived at the restaurant, the fat shopkeeper came out. Seeing the big wild boar on the ox cart, he smiled from ear to ear and said, "Yang family boys, you are amazing. You said you would send me a wild boar this morning, and you delivered it this evening. It really solved my urgent need."

Yang Mingyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Shopkeeper, we are lucky to have encountered him on the mountain. He is still alive, which is new."

The fat shopkeeper stepped forward to take a look and said, "Not bad, not bad. There are no wounds on the body at all. You are amazing." He waved to a young eunuch and said, "Go ask the noble man to take a look. Are you satisfied?"

After a while, a middle-aged man came out with several followers. Seeing the wild boar on the ox cart, he nodded and said, "The quality is acceptable, but if there is only one, the quantity may not be enough. The shopkeeper needs to think of a way. We need it the day after tomorrow."

Yang Mingxi glanced at the middle-aged man, then at the fat shopkeeper, and suddenly an idea occurred to her: If the price was good, she could consider collaborating with Zheng Huairen and heading to the mountains inside Changhu Mountain to see if they could hunt another wild boar. However, the fat shopkeeper hadn't mentioned a price yet, so Yang Mingxi didn't know how to respond.

The fat shopkeeper nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I can definitely get the job done. Three wild boars like this should be enough."

The middle-aged man nodded, took another look at the wild boar, and took out a ten-liang silver ingot and said, "Young man, if you can hunt two more wild boars this big tomorrow, or smaller ones, the more the better. This silver ingot will be your reward. I'll leave it with Manager Liu. Is that okay with you?"

Yang Mingxi nudged Yang Mingyu, motioning for him to come forward and answer. Yang Mingyu stepped forward and said, "Of course, I can, but I don't know the price for wild boars. Do you want them no matter how many you hunt?"

Shopkeeper Liu quickly stepped forward and said, "Before tomorrow, all wild boars, as long as they're still alive, will be sold for 20 coins per pound. Take as many as you can." He turned to look at the middle-aged man and saw him nod. He continued, "Young men from the Yang family, hurry back and call your sixth uncle to go check on the mountain again. Please."

Yang Mingyu stepped aside the fat shopkeeper's greeting and said, "Uncle Liu, I'll tell Uncle Six to weigh it!"

This huge wild boar weighed 458 jin (approximately 460 jin), so 20 jin (approximately 30 wen per jin), a total of 8 wen. There were also pheasants and rabbits that Zheng Huairen brought, totaling 240 jin (approximately jin), at wen per jin, a total of wen.

On the way back, Yang Mingxi shared her thoughts with Zheng Huairen. Zheng Huairen nodded and said, "I think so too. Strength lies in numbers, and more firewood means a higher flame. We have a few good hunters in our village. Why don't we ask them to come with us?"

Yang Mingxi thought for a moment and said, "There's strength in numbers, but there are also many ideas, and it's easy to miss opportunities. The shopkeeper said that if we want to keep them alive, then we can only outsmart them. So we only need one or two people to come up with ideas, and the others can just execute them."

Zheng Huairen thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then we only need six to eight people. We have four here now, and we can just find two or three more." Zheng Huairen wanted to do Yang Mingxi a favor so that the Yang family would have a better impression of him and it would be easier for him to do things in the future.

Yang Mingxi glanced at Zheng Huairen, accepting his offer. "Okay, I'll go back and ask Uncle Six and Uncle Seven. Add in the four cousins who helped carry the wild boar today, and we'll have ten of us. Is that okay?" Yang Mingxi looked at Zheng Huairen. Zheng Huairen was the only one in the group who had some leg skills, so Yang Mingxi sought his opinion.

Zheng Huairen looked at Yang Mingxi's sparkling eyes looking at him, and his heart softened immediately, as if as long as she said it, anything would satisfy him. He smiled and nodded and said, "As long as you are happy."

The matter was decided. Yang Mingyang went home to inform others. Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingyu went to Zheng Huairen's house together to help Zheng Laosan and Zheng Laosi detoxify.
