After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Ye Xunqing and a few others followed the man back. On the way, he asked a lot of questions about potato planting methods, because he felt that the current potatoes were too small, and he had to plant some big potatoes to sell next year.

"I think the deeper the ridges, the bigger the ground eggs will grow, and I need to apply more fertilizer," Ye Xunqing said. "The soil here is quite fertile, so I think we can grow a lot of good ground eggs."

The man listened for a moment and said, "But we have been growing it this way for so many years. If we change the method of growing ground eggs, what will we do if there are no ground eggs next year?"

Ye Xunqing replied: "I am just giving you a suggestion. It is up to you to decide whether to do it or not." Anyway, he is going to make ridges next year, and loose soil is conducive to potato fruiting.

When they arrived at the place where the potatoes were stored, Ye Xunqing squatted down to pick the potatoes, and the potato seller went to the main room to get the scale.

At this time, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old came over. He was naked from the waist up and there was still mud on his body that had not been washed off.

"What are you doing?" the young man cursed. "Damn it, you're stealing eggs and even coming to my father's house. Don't you want to live?"

Ye Xunqing looked up at him and said, "I'm asking your father to buy some ground eggs, not to steal them from you."

As soon as he looked up, the young man recognized him and said, "It's you. I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more handsome." As he said that, his cunning eyes stared at Ye Xunqing.

Ye Xunqing had no impression of him, but judging from the man's expression, he was definitely a lustful man.

"Take it, take it." The young man showed a flattering smile. "Don't tell me you bought it from my family. Even if you want it, I will give it to you."

Ye Xunqing said with a cold face: "No, I will pay."

The young man curled his lips and said, "I heard that you are going back to the Feng family to marry the second son. His family is so poor, you will only suffer if you marry him. Why not marry me? My family has ten acres of land."

Ye Xunqing said, "Go tell Feng Jingheng this, and see if he'll beat you to death."

The young man was scared. He touched his nose angrily and turned his gaze to the guy next to him who was carrying a bamboo basket.

Mo Yuyan doesn't like to look up and look directly at others. Usually when he is at home, he stays alone in his room. Only when Ye Xunqing is around will they communicate in sign language.

The young man saw Mo Yuyan. He had indeed heard that Ye Xunqing had spent money to buy a handsome boy. When he saw him today, he found that he was indeed an extremely handsome man, and his appearance was comparable to Ye Xunqing.

And he was quiet, which was more to his liking.

"What's your name?" the young man asked with a grin. "My name is Ye Mingxiao. You look younger than me, so just call me Brother Mingxiao."

Ye Xunqing couldn't stand this kind of frivolous person. He stood up and blocked Mo Yuyan behind him. "You let everyone you meet call you brother. Do you have any shame?"

Ye Mingxiao was unhappy. "Qing'er, you're already taken, why don't you let him find a good man? Didn't you bring him back just to find him a man?"

"What's it to you?" Ye Xunqing said, "It's none of your business what kind of person I find for him."

Ye Mingxiao walked past Ye Xunqing and went to find Mo Yuyan. "Beautiful lady, what's your name? If nothing else, can you tell me your name?"

Mo Yuyan looked at Ye Xunqing, his eyes full of fear.

Ye Xunqing made a mistake. He shouldn't have brought Mo Yuyan out, so he comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. No one dares to hurt you."

Mo Yuyan hid behind Ye Xunqing, lowered his head and said nothing.

Ye Mingxiao refused to let him go. "Beauty, please say something. If you say something, I will give you all the eggs in my house."

At this time, his old father came over with a scale, and when he heard what he said, he kicked him in the butt.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you prodigal son?" The old father was very angry. "Get out of here! You've been idle all day and night, just looking for trouble!" Then he turned to Ye Xunqing and said, "Qing'er, don't mind it. This brat is just like that."

"Yeah." Ye Xunqing didn't want to cause any more trouble here, and the three of them were brothers. If an accident really happened, they would suffer.

After buying the potatoes, Ye Xunqing quickly took Ye Xunbai and Mo Yuyan away. Ye Mingxiao followed them and called them "beauties", but Ye Xunqing ran very fast, so Ye Mingxiao stopped chasing after a few steps.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Ye Xunqing apologized to Mo Yuyan, "I shouldn't have brought you out."

Mo Yuyan shook her head slightly, looked at Ye Xunqing with a smile, and then said in simple sign language: "It's not your fault. I figured it out."

Ye Xunqing thought for a moment and said, "Well, you need to be able to protect yourself and live independently in the future."

Mo Yuyan was stunned, then grabbed Ye Xunqing's hand and wrote on his palm.

I am your slave.

"No." Ye Xunqing touched his head. His hair had grown a little longer and was a little prickly. "You are not my slave, you are my brother. From now on, you will be my younger brother, just like Xiaobai."

Mo Yuyan stood there in a daze, his brows furrowed, and then he began to cry.

Ye Xunqing was most afraid of seeing him cry, so he said, "Let's go, Xiaoyan, brother still has a lot of things to do."

Mo Yuyan smiled faintly, carrying the bamboo basket and followed Ye Xunqing away.

Within a day, everyone in Yejia Village knew that Ye Xunqing was strolling around the village with the boy he bought, and that the boy was very handsome.

Ye Xunqing bought the potatoes he wanted and took them home. He happened to meet Chen Jinhua who was carrying out a big bowl of meat sauce. When she saw Ye Xunqing and the other three, she immediately covered the sauce with her hands.

"Oh, Qing'er is back." Chen Jinhua looked into their baskets. "Why did you buy so many ground eggs? We haven't dug up the ground eggs at home yet. You guys should go dig them in a few days."

"Okay, I understand." Ye Xunqing carried the basket into his room.

Chen Jinhua held the bowl in her hand and did not dare to talk to him much. She was worried that Ye Xunqing would ask her for meat sauce, which she would not want to give him. But she was also afraid that Ye Xunqing would not teach her good things in the future. Ye Xunqing was different now. In the past, Ye Xunqing was timid and submissive. Since he fell into the water, he seemed like a different person.

However, Ye Xunqing was not interested in the mushroom and meat sauce made by Chen Jinhua at all. He had new dishes to sell.

He is going to the big market the day after tomorrow, so Ye Xunqing plans to buy some pig offal from Ye Zongkuan tomorrow. After braising the meat, he will use the soup to soak the potato slices, which will make them taste better.

Not only can it be used to soak potato chips, but it can also be used to soak some vegetables and soy products. There are also soy products sold in the village, so he will get up early tomorrow to buy some.

This time he couldn't get something for nothing, so he had to be fully prepared and not lose money.
