A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

Medicinal herb seeds are easy to buy.

You can find them in pharmacies like Baicaotang in the Dashilan area.

Xu Pingan wanted to buy some ginseng, lingzhi, he shou wu, and the like...

"Guest, these medicinal herbs are good, but they are not suitable for economic cultivation..."

Xu Pingan was taken aback: "How could this be inappropriate?"

"The kinds of seeds you want all need to be old to fetch a good price, and cultivated ones are even less valuable; they have to be wild..."

"Not only is the return on investment slow, but we're also occupying your land... It's not worth it!"

"If you'd like to grow some medicinal herbs to make some money, I recommend you grow rehmannia or chrysanthemum. These herbs are free; our shop gives them away for free..."

"And after you grow them, you can bring them directly to our store to sell, and we'll buy them at market price!"

Xu Ping'an's original intention in planting medicinal herbs was that he didn't want to tend to the fields every day, which is why he chose those herbs that required a long growing period.

If Xu Pingan were to grow the things he suggested, he might as well grow grain instead.

However, Xu Ping'an did not disappoint the other party's kindness. In addition to the medicinal herb seeds he bought, he also accepted the ones the other party gave him as a gift.

If you don't even want something that's given away for free, you'd probably seem like a complete idiot to the other person!

At a seed stall in this market, Xu Pingan also bought more than 10 packets of various kinds of vegetable seeds.

Whether or not to plant these vegetables, we'll talk about it later; let's just buy them and put them in the space first.

There are vegetable seeds for sale in Xiaoqi Town, but I know too many people in that area...

Having many acquaintances has its advantages and disadvantages.

Xu Pingan didn't want too many people to know that he had bought these things.

Xu Pingan spent the entire day visiting places like Qianmen, Dong'an Market, Chaoyangmen, and Deshengmen.

There are definitely no more tea trees left.

According to the owners of those nursery markets, there are no tea trees at all in the north!

Xu Pingan bought two lambs, which cost him a total of 17 yuan.

Although calves were available for sale, Xu Pingan couldn't afford them.

A slightly better one costs 60.

Although Xu Pingan has made some money recently, it still hurts too much to take out 60 yuan.

The key issue is that once he produces 60, his money will be completely depleted, and he won't be able to buy anything else...

Buying just a calf would be the least worthwhile deal for him.

Xu Pingan could only buy some tree species that were native to Beijing.

Two persimmon trees, two jujube trees, two walnut trees, two pomegranate trees, two crabapple trees, two apricot trees, two pear trees, two peach trees, and two grapevines...

His initial space was only one acre.

Although it looks quite large, these small trees shouldn't be planted too densely.

From the moment he opened his eyes in the morning until 3 p.m., Xu Ping'an ran nonstop, and his legs became noticeably thinner from running.

We finally arrived at the West Railway Station before 4 o'clock.

There's a bus here at 4:30 PM; you can get off at Changping County Station along the way.

Sijiucheng Station is the city's first departure station, and under normal circumstances, there is no such thing as a delay.

The ticket cost 3000 yuan, and it took about half an hour to reach Changping County.

These days, people who normally live in villages would rather travel all day than spend an extra dollar.

Xu Ping'an was, after all, a time traveler, and for this era, he seemed abnormal!

Having boarded an oxcart bound for Xiaoqi Town, Xu Pingan finally arrived in the village before dark.

"Wow, Ping An, you bought so many bags and packages? You must have made a lot of money fishing recently!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping'an could no longer maintain his fake smile.

If you don't speak, I'm not fucking treating you like you're mute.

Dongying Village has more than 60 households and several hundred people. It's impossible that there's only one good-for-nothing like Ma Ergou!

The speaker was named Chen Zhu. His father died early, and his mother raised him like a precious treasure.

Even in the village, they couldn't bear to let him do any work.

Life in the countryside is already tough enough.

Not to mention the rural areas before liberation.

Chen Zhu's mother shouldered everything herself, and worked herself to death in her thirties.

From then on, Chen Zhu became a good-for-nothing in the village.

He wandered around the nearby towns, like those idle drifters, and was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring.

The problem is that Chen Zhu's family doesn't have any money!

He must have been broke to work his own mother to death, right?

So ever since the villagers found out that Chen Zhu was a gambler and womanizer, almost everyone kept their distance from him.

Even a fool would know that his money was definitely not clean!

When Xu Ping'an heard someone greet him, he subconsciously put on a fake smile.

Once he saw who it was, he even dropped his fake smile.

Xu Pingan nodded slightly as a greeting, and didn't intend to say anything more.

But Chen Zhu saw Xu Ping'an returning from afar; he had come specifically for him, so he wasn't going to let him off so easily...

"Hey, Ping An, I'm talking to you!"

Xu Ping'an was carrying large and small bags, and was temporarily unable to pass because Chen Zhu blocked his way.

She could only stop and stare at him expressionlessly.

Chen Zhu became annoyed when Xu Ping'an stared at him like that.

"Xu Ping'an, what do you mean by this! I greeted you, and you just stare at me like that? Are you looking down on me?"

Why ask when you already know?

Xu Pingan couldn't quite understand the other person's thought process!

"Chen Zhu, what's wrong? Tell me!"

"You're not even going to call me 'brother' anymore?"

These kinds of scoundrels are the best at taking advantage of others' misfortunes.

Xu Pingan was too lazy to waste time arguing with him.

"I'll be going now if there's nothing else..."

As Xu Pingan spoke, he tried to walk around him.

Chen Zhu's fake smile also disappeared.

His entire face was fixed on Xu Ping'an with a sinister look.

"It seems you're not going to give me that kind of face..."

Xu Ping'an sighed, "So it is said that wealth can move people's hearts."

Therefore, he was even more determined to leave this remote village!

If this were in Beijing, in any factory worker dormitory area, this amount of money wouldn't even be considered a big deal.

There might be envious or jealous people, but I think they won't actually cause trouble in front of me.

It's not respectable enough...

But in the village, they don't seem to have these concerns!

This is why Xu Ping'an wanted to leave here and go to the city.

Right now, each family owns their own land, but once a cooperative is established, they won't even be allowed to slack off while working...

When Xu Pingan returned, it was just as many villagers were taking a stroll after dinner.

Seeing Chen Zhu blocking Xu Ping'an, several prominent figures in the village gathered around.

After all, everyone knows what kind of person Chen Zhu is...

Xu Pingan thought for a moment and decided to take advantage of everyone's presence to resolve this trivial matter all at once.

"I'll count to three, and then I'll slap you across the face with both hands..."

Xu Pingan only wanted to defeat his opponent once and for all.

If things aren't clarified first, Chen Zhu might accuse him of a sneak attack later...

That would never end.

Chen Zhu was stunned; he was truly stunned!

When he heard those words, he didn't even realize what Xu Pingan was trying to do!

Until he heard...

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"You son of a bitch..."

Enraged, Chen Zhu raised his leg to kick Xu Ping'an.

In terms of speed and strength, in which aspect can Chen Zhu compare to Xu Ping'an?

Xu Ping'an, arriving late but arriving early, kicked Chen Zhu in the supporting leg, causing Chen Zhu to fall to the side.

Xu Pingan grabbed his collar with his left hand and pulled him back.

Use your right hand to draw the bow in both directions.

"Clap clap clap clap clap!"

When Zhao Changshan, Zhang Laoshuan, and other influential figures in the village arrived, Chen Zhu's face was already swollen like a pig's head.

A trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth!

"Ping An, stop!"

Zhao Changshan shouted, but his steps were unhurried.

Indeed, what decent family would want to keep such a good-for-nothing?

They looked at me like I was looking at dog poop; I wanted to stay as far away from them as possible...

Xu Pingan looked up and glanced over there. Two of the three powerful figures in the village had come, so he couldn't really refuse to give them any face at all.

He slapped Chen Zhu twice more, then threw him to the ground...

Why are there always treacherous subjects trying to harm me?
