After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy
Chapter 7: Not much money, but I have it
The richest family in Yejia Village is the village chief's family. The village chief has four children, two sons, a brother and a sister. The brother is the same age as Ye Xunqing, and the sister is younger than Ye Xunqing.
"Brother Yun..." Ye Xunqing started calling Ye Xiyun from a long distance away.
Ye Xiyun glanced at him, rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Ye Xunqing whispered, "I found something delicious and I want you to try it."
Ye Xiyun didn't believe it. "Can you find anything delicious? Pig food?"
Ye Xunbai said: "It's true, my brother made a super delicious boiled peach."
"Ah?" Ye Xiyun felt that Ye Xunqing was making trouble, "Can peaches be cooked?"
"I'll let you try it for free, do you want to try it?" Ye Xunqing spent a lot of money.
"You're a bastard who doesn't take advantage of a good opportunity." Ye Xiyun raised his head and said, "Give it to me and let me have a taste."
Ye Xunqing replied: "I hid it in the mountains. What if someone finds this good thing?"
"You're not trying to trick me into going to the mountain and then sell me out, are you?" Ye Xiyun said warily.
"If you're scared, you can take Sister Lan with you." Ye Xunqing said, "Besides, with my weak arms and legs, how can I beat you?"
Ye Xiyun was half-believing and half-doubting, "Okay, I'll ask Sister Lan to go with me."
Ye Xunqing took the brother and sister to the place where the things were hidden, took out the jar and bowl, and scooped a spoonful of boiled peaches for each of them.
Ye Xiyun's eyes lit up when he tasted it, "Delicious!"
Ye Xilan also nodded, "Third brother, it's delicious, icy and sweet."
"How did you do it?" Ye Xiyun asked hurriedly.
Ye Xunqing blinked, "Secret."
"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me." Ye Xiyun kept looking there, "Give me another spoonful."
"No." Ye Xunqing said, "I spent a long time making this, and the sugar inside is precious. I can't just eat it casually."
Ye Xiyun understood what he meant, "Oh, you want money, right?"
Ye Xunqing was not in a hurry to ask for money. "Talking about money hurts our feelings. I made this for my brother. But since we have a good relationship, I wanted to give some to you."
Ye Xiyun listened to his nonsense and took out two copper coins from his clothes. "Here, give one spoon to each of us brothers and sisters."
Ye Xunqing held up three fingers and said, "Add a copper coin."
"Are you trying to rob me?" Ye Xiyun was unhappy.
"This is the best malt candy..." He held the jar and waved it in front of the brother and sister.
Ye Xilan was greedy, "Third brother..."
Ye Xiyun made up his mind and took out a dozen copper coins and gave them to him. "I'll give them all to you. I want them all."
"No problem." Ye Xunqing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'll send it home for you. I still want the jar."
Ye Xiyun nodded, "Yes, my mother likes sweet food, I will buy some to honor her."
When Ye Xunqing delivered the peaches, the village chief Ye Hongsheng was also there, sitting at the door scraping mud off his shoes.
"Father, come and try it. Qing'er made something delicious. It's icy and sweet." Ye Xiyun hurriedly greeted his father.
Ye Hongsheng loves his children very much, otherwise Ye Xiyun would not have so much pocket money to use.
"Oh, okay." Ye Hongsheng said with a smile, "Your mother likes sweet food, ask her to eat too."
Wang Qiumei came out of the house and asked, "What do you want me to eat?"
Ye Xiyun said: "Sweet peach."
Wang Qiumei smiled and said, "What peach makes you so happy?"
Ye Xilan went to the kitchen to get a bowl, and Ye Xiyun was busy scooping peach juice.
"Oh, it's still cold." Wang Qiumei was a little surprised. "Have you eaten it?"
"I've eaten, hurry up and eat, Mom." Ye Xiyun urged.
Wang Qiumei took a sip of soup and ate a piece of peach. She was immediately impressed by the sweet, sour and cool taste. "Oh wow, it's delicious! Old man, come and try it too."
Ye Hongsheng also tasted it. Although he didn't like sweet things, the cold taste was still good. "Well, Qing Ge'er knows how to eat it."
Ye Xunqing replied: "As long as you like it, I'm thinking of making more to sell. I don't know if I can get a good price for it."
Wang Qiumei said, "Last time I went to town, I bought two bowls of plum soup. Plum soup cost a penny a bowl. This has peaches and sugar in it, so it would cost at least three pennies for two bowls."
Ye Xunqing had indeed just sold two bowls for three cents. "Then I'll listen to my aunt."
Wang Qiumei said, "If you really want to sell peach juice, then come with us to town the day after tomorrow morning. We have an ox cart and we won't charge you."
"No problem." Ye Xunqing wanted to seize this opportunity.
Ye Hongsheng's family is rich and doesn't care about Ye Xunqing's money. The two brothers are pitiful, so they will help as much as they can.
Ye Xunqing counted the copper coins Ye Xiyun gave him, there were fourteen of them. It is said that one penny can buy one liter of brown rice. If all this money was used to buy rice, it would be enough for Ye Xunqing to eat for a long time.
"Xiaobai, look at what this is?" Ye Xunqing placed a copper coin on Ye Xunbai's forehead, "Money!"
Ye Xunbai quickly took the copper coin off his forehead and said, "Brother, keep it. If you save enough money, you won't have to marry a bald man."
"We're running out of time," Ye Xunqing said. "Let's take it one step at a time. Do you know where Feng Jingheng lives? We stole so many peaches from his house, so we should at least give him a few copper coins."
And they can't keep stealing peaches, they have to buy some.
"I know." Ye Xunbai said, "I'll lead the way for you, brother."
It was noon and none of the Feng family members had gone out to work. The third son of the Feng family, Feng Jing'an, was holding a baby and coaxing him. When he saw them coming, he came out with the child in his arms.
"Qing'er, why are you here in the middle of the day? Have you eaten?" Feng Jing'an asked.
"No, I'll go back and eat them later." Ye Xunqing walked up and said, "Jing'an, the peaches by your field are growing well. I picked some yesterday."
Feng Jingan didn't care. "Those were planted by my second brother. If you like to eat them, pick more. The peaches aren't growing well this year and can't be sold for much money. No one is bothering to go to town to sell them."
Ye Xunqing walked in and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Where's my second brother? I have something to tell him."
Feng Jing'an hesitated, "Qing'er, you're getting married soon. Isn't it a bad idea for you to come to our house now?"
Ye Xunqing said: "I am here to do serious things, not to steal people."
A woman came out of the kitchen, she was sweating, and when she saw Ye Xunqing, she smiled and said, "Qing'er, why are you coming to our house if you are not busy preparing your dowry?"
Ye Xunqing thought for a long time but couldn't remember who she was, so he stopped thinking about it, "Where is Feng Jingheng? I want to see him." It was so annoying. Could this group of people help him pass on a message?
"What do you want from me?" Feng Jingheng came out of the house.
"Here's some money." Ye Xunqing said straight to the point, "I want to buy the peaches you planted."
