After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang also rushed over from behind. Mrs. Wang's eyes reddened with tears when she saw Zhang Hulan. "Daniel, come and let me see if you've lost weight. We haven't seen each other for so long. Your father and I worry about you every day."

Zhang Hulan hugged Wang and said, "Mom, don't worry about me. I'm fine."

Zhang Hulan hugged Li again and noticed that Li had a strong fishy smell on her body. She asked, "Sister-in-law, why do you smell so fishy?"

Li said, "I've been fishing these past few days. I was weighing them, and I definitely smelled fishy."

Zhang Hujun said, "We've been selling the fish in the pond since the twelfth lunar month, and they're almost all sold now. The big ones weigh almost 10 kilograms, and the small ones weigh 3 or 4 kilograms. Once we've caught all the fish, we'll stock them again next year."

At this time, there were still villagers coming here. Zhang Hulan was worried that the villagers would offend Emperor Yongxing, so she said, "Dad, Mom, let's go home first."

Zhang Hulan then said to Emperor Yongxing, "Master Yin, please rest at Uncle Wang's house first. I'll come back later."

When Emperor Yongxing heard that Zhang Hulan's family was fishing, he said, "I'm not tired. Let the women rest. I'll go to your house and watch them fishing."

Duke Wei also said, "I'll go and take a look too."

Queen Ye said, "Then let's go too."

Originally, Queen Ye and the others wanted to rest, but now they all want to watch the fun.

Everyone likes fish. Even those who don’t particularly like eating fish generally like catching them.

The fish are jumping around in the water, which is a pleasure to watch.

He immediately saw Zhang Hulan talking to Emperor Yongxing and the others, so he asked, "Hulan, are they all your friends?"

Zhang Hulan nodded, "Yes, they are all Pengyu in the capital."

So he immediately said loudly to Emperor Yongxing and the others, "Since you are Hu Lan's friends, you are our friends. Come visit us later."

Emperor Yongxing smiled and said, "We have quite a few people and plenty to eat. Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that we will eat your family into poverty?"

Ma said very proudly, "Don't worry about that. My family raised two pigs this year, and we just slaughtered them a few days ago. We didn't sell a pound of meat, and kept it all for ourselves.

Gentlemen, when you go home, I dare not say anything else, but you will be given plenty of meat."

Emperor Yongxing laughed heartily. "It's settled then. We'll go visit my sister-in-law later."

"No problem, you're always welcome."

So everyone went to Zhang Hulan's house. Daohe and the others were by the fish pond, all of them yelling about how many fish there were and how heavy the rain was.

As Emperor Yongxing and his companions approached, Daohe pulled Emperor Yongxing to a large wooden barrel to look at a large grass carp inside.

"Dad, look, this fish is so big."

The grass carp is indeed not small, it looks to be about ten pounds.

Princess Xuanning also took Queen Ye to look at a white carp in a wooden basin. "Look, mother, this fish is so beautiful. Daoning said he gave it to me."

At this moment, the fish pond next to us is pulling in the net. The net is already halfway pulled in. The silver carp in the pond jump out of the water from time to time. Adults and children alike are very excited to watch.

Qin Bingrong was looking around. He saw several water wheels standing on the other side of the ditch and villagers working there, so he said to Emperor Yongxing, "Master Yin, I'll go over there and take a look."

Emperor Yongxing looked towards the ditch and nodded, "Let's go, I'll go too."

So Empress Ye and the others stayed by the fish pond to watch the fishing, while Emperor Yongxing and his companions went to the big ditch.

Some villagers were grinding flour here. Emperor Yongxing and his companions approached and asked, "Are you grinding flour to make vermicelli?"

Seeing that they were coming from the fish pond, the villagers thought that Emperor Yongxing and his companions were the owners of a restaurant in the city who had come to buy fish. A woman said, "Yes, you run a restaurant, right? Would you like to buy some vermicelli noodles?"

Emperor Yongxing said, "We are not here to buy fish, but to visit Zhang Hulan's home."

"It turns out to be a guest from Hu Lan's family! Hey, is Hu Lan back?" asked Zheng, who was also fanning here.

Yongxing said: "I'm back, just arrived."

Zheng immediately said, "Then I'll go see Hu Lan."

Liu Yongquan said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Hu Lan is back for the New Year and won't be leaving for a while. Finish the work first and then go. You're occupying the machine while others are waiting."

Zheng glared at Liu Yongquan and said, "It's just a small amount of work. You can do it alone. Finish the work here. I'll go find Hu Lan."

Zheng left after saying this.

After Zheng left, Duke Wei asked Liu Yongquan, "Aren't you angry?"

Liu Yongquan replied, "Why are you so angry? If I have time to be angry, I might as well do more work."

Emperor Yongxing asked, "How many lotus roots have you planted?"

Liu Yongquan replied: "I planted a lot this year. I planted all the barren land at home."

Emperor Yongxing asked again, "How was the harvest?"

Hearing this question, Liu Yongquan's face was full of smiles. "The harvest of lotus roots is really high. Last year, our family planted one mu and harvested 2,400 kilograms. This year, we planted eight mu and have already dug up three mu. Last year's lotus roots made a lot of money. This year's lotus roots are planted more carefully than last year. One mu will yield more than 2,800 kilograms."

Another villager was surprised and asked, "Yongquan, your family produced over 2,800 kilograms of dry lotus roots per acre this year? My family only produced 2,500 kilograms."

Liu Yongquan said, "You two are so lazy! I've fertilized the lotus roots several times this year."

Emperor Yongxing asked again, "How much silver can your family earn from growing lotus roots this year?"

Liu Yongquan replied, "If the lotus roots in the next few acres are of similar quality, I estimate I can earn more than 40 taels of silver this year."

Duke Wei was surprised and asked, "How can you earn so much?"

"Of course, we can earn about 40 taels just from selling vermicelli. The lotus stems can be used to feed pigs and can also be sold for money. My family raised two pigs this year and also sold a lot of lotus stems to Hu Lan's family. If you add it all up, my family should have an income of about 50 taels this year."

Emperor Yongxing was also quite surprised when he heard this. For a farming family to have an income of fifty taels of silver a year was no ordinary living.

"Do other families in your village have as high an income as yours?"

Liu Yongquan said, "My family has about the same amount as mine. Some people plant less and certainly don't earn as much as we do, but this year's income for the whole village should be at least twenty or so taels."

Twenty or so taels is quite high, and this village can definitely be called a wealthy one.

Zhao Guoliang came over and urged, "Yongquan, stop talking and finish threshing your lotus roots. There are a lot of people waiting behind you. I don't think you'll get a break during the New Year this year, otherwise the pulverizer won't be able to get a turn."

Liu Yongquan hurriedly said, "Uncle Lizheng, don't rush me. I'll be ready soon."

Liu Yongquan then introduced to Zhao Guoliang, "Uncle Village Chief, Hu Lanhui is here, and these are the guests of Hu Lan's family."
