Chapter 217: Planning to Buy Grain Granny Rong sorted the herbs in the basket, grouping them neatly, then left in high spirits with the wild ginger. Yan Yu’s gaze followed her and saw her dig a few small holes at the edge of the vegetable patch and bury the ginger. Natural preservation—brilliant! The siblings took the tender weeds they’d picked out and went to feed the goats. The three goats ambled over slowly and began to chew with lowered heads. Two hens clucked their way over,…- 624.7 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 218: Casting the Net for Fish Before heading over to Big Brother, Yan Yu did a quick mental tally based on the earlier numbers. “Uncle Hu Da, your family’s grain still isn’t enough. Add another five hundred jin,” she said, putting charcoal to paper without hesitation. Not just Hu Da—even Yan Xiangheng, who was off to the side rubbing his wrist, was stunned. Hu Da’s eyes went wide. “Xiao Er, what’s this… how did you calculate that?” It was based on your…

- Chapter 219: We’ve Come to Deliver Medicine! This time, to deliver medicine to Crouching Tiger, Village Chief Luo chose his sons Luo Da, Hu Da, and Qi Da to accompany Yan Xiangheng. Luo Da had a steady nature; the Qi family was close with the Yan family, and Qi Da was strong and full of energy. Hu Da wasn’t just a skilled archer—his eyes were sharp, too. The four of them set off with two mule carts, loaded with eight sacks of light medicinal herbs. Yan Yu glanced around. As the group was…

- Chapter 220: Payment for the Medicine From the strokes on the page, it was clear the child had poured their heart into this. The transitions between brushstrokes had grown more fluid, more rounded. "Good! Good!" Liang Manshan couldn't seem to get enough. His eyes lingered fondly on the calligraphy. Yan Yu: … Uncle Liang, could you maybe focus on the actual content instead of just admiring the handwriting? "This 'Work Points'—" Liang Manshan finally got to the point. Yan Yu quickly…

- Chapter 210: Implementing the Work Point System “Actually, it’s just like the work points system in our household. Since it’s hard to calculate the money upfront, we’ll start by recording points instead. The difference is, in my house we first decided how many work points could be exchanged for what. But Uncle doesn’t have to set that yet. Take wild ginger, for example—ten jin of fresh wild ginger weighed on the soil scale would count as ten wild ginger points. Three jin of banxia…

- Chapter 211: Busy Days “Don’t try to fool me. I asked Master Lu—this kind of work, his two boys can handle it easy. Won’t even take them long, just a couple of hours after dark and it’s done. We’ve already agreed on the price, materials and labor both. I’ve got everything ready. So why are you putting it on your family’s tab again? That’s not how this works. No need to keep it on account—I can pay right now.” “Auntie!” Yan Yu pulled her a little aside, lowering her voice.…

- Chapter 212 – Meat Delivered to the Door “How do you want to sell your goats? By weight or by the head?” Li Xuemei began negotiating as soon as Granny Rong gave her a nod. The boy finally snapped out of his daze and cautiously replied, “Madam, we weighed them before coming. Both goats are a little over sixty jin, but not quite seventy. If you’re buying, we’ll go with three qian five per goat—seven qian for both.” Li Xuemei did a quick mental calculation. The price was…

- Chapter 213 – Longxing Yan Lao’er hadn’t expected news to travel so fast. After going through several towns without success, he and Qi Si made a decisive turn toward Longxing. Sanbao’s planned route overlapped in many places with the Official Road, so Yan Lao’er simply chose to drive along the main road. Compared to cutting through backroads in a straight line, the Official Road had better conditions, and travel time was about the same. Plus, there were post stations along the way for…
