During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

A plate of vegetables weighs at most three or four ounces. How much money can you make from a single plate?

How many times can one basket be worth!

After much deliberation, he gritted his teeth and decisively said, "I'll pay six coins, I'll buy it!"

"etc!"

The buyer, with his hands tucked into his fur coat, blocked his way and sneered.

"I already said that I'll bid seven coins from the highest bidder."

Although Manager Wang dared not offend his regular customers, he was even more unwilling to lose his hard-earned money, so he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, saying...

"I'll offer seven and a half cents... Distinguished guest, our small shop has dozens of employees, and we rely on this little bit of food to make a living. We have no other choice!"

The two of them clashed like that.

You add one coin, I add two coins, and Ye Qingqing's breasts are all cleared up.

Add more, add as much as you can!

I'll reap the benefits without lifting a finger!

In the end, the wealthy buyer finally managed to bid one tael of silver, leaving the shopkeeper speechless.

Ye Qingqing almost burst out laughing when she received the silver notes of over 130 taels and some loose silver from the servant.

A little over one hundred and thirty taels, in one day.

Her ambition to become rich and powerful in ancient times is just around the corner!

But before she could even put the silver into her pocket, several well-dressed people surrounded her, chattering amongst themselves.

"Young lady, do you have any more of this food? I have thirty taels, no, forty taels, could you get me some more?"

"I'll offer fifty taels! Young lady, this dish is an excellent gift! In the dead of winter, it's more precious than any delicacy!"

"I'll order ten catties! When can you get them? I'm hosting a banquet at my residence tomorrow, could you send some over?"

……

Ye Qingqing was surrounded by this group of people, and her eyes lit up.

Orders! These are all orders!

The money flowed into her wallet like water.

Ye Qingqing cleared her throat and said loudly,

"Gentlemen, it's too cold outside. This dish isn't available every day. If you want it, it depends on fate."

How about this, I'll take the orders first, at 1 tael of silver per pound, and everyone can pay a deposit of one-tenth of the amount they want.

I'll dig up some vegetables and deliver them to your homes around noon tomorrow. Is that alright?

Who wouldn't want to order such fresh and rare wild vegetables?

None of us are short of money.

A group of people scrambled to pull out their silver notes, as if afraid of missing out, and handed them to Ye Qingqing.

The shopkeeper's face turned green with anxiety. "Miss Qingqing, you...you're stealing my business!"

Ye Qingqing frowned. "Shopkeeper, I sell fresh vegetables, and you run a restaurant. How am I stealing your business?"

Are you going to order or not? Don't blame me if you don't order and it's sold out.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, "Order! Give me thirty catties!"

Ye Qingqing laughed heartily.

After receiving the silver notes and loose change, she borrowed pen, ink and paper from the shopkeeper and wrote down names and residences one by one, keeping herself very busy.

Surrounded by a large group of people, Ye Dazhuang frowned slightly and stood closely behind her, almost touching her body to shield her from those who were crowding too close.

Occasionally, if someone gets too close, a cold glance from him can send shivers down their spine.

In less than half an hour, Ye Qingqing held a deposit of more than three hundred taels of silver in her hand, and she was so beautiful that she was practically bubbling with excitement.

……

On the way back, Ye Qingqing sat in the carriage, counting the silver notes one by one, her face full of excitement, saying...

"Big Zhuang, guess how much we made today?"

Ye Dazhuang drove the cart without turning around, but the corners of his mouth still curled up slightly.

"Quite a few."

"Four hundred and thirty taels, my goodness!"

Ye Qingqing arrogantly held up the silver note and waved it in front of her eyes, then held it up to the sunlight, shouting, "We're rich! We're rich! Brother Dazhuang, we're rich!"

"If we sell wild vegetables all winter, our family might become the richest family in town!"

Ye Dazhuang, "..."

Listening to Ye Qingqing's chattering laughter, a slight sense of loss suddenly welled up in his heart.

This girl always had a persistent desire to get rich.

But with him, there was a restrained feeling of being neither too close nor too distant.

"Oh, right!"

Ye Qingqing tucked the silver note into her bosom, then suddenly remembered something, took out two still-warm fried cakes from her bosom, and handed them to Ye Dazhuang.

"Are you hungry? I bought this for Huanhuan... We still have a while before we get home, let's grab a bite to tide us over."

Ye Dazhuang paused for a moment, then looked down at the fried cake.

The aroma of oil was enticing, so he opened his mouth slightly and took a bite. The sweet, oily flavor instantly filled his mouth.

The sugar in the cake melted on the tip of my tongue, so sweet it was almost cloying.

But something inside him seemed to melt away along with it.

"Is it sweet?"

Ye Qingqing also took a bite, looked up and said with a smile, "I was a bit rushed today, otherwise I would have definitely gone to a jewelry store or a cosmetics store to browse around and buy some gold and silver jewelry or something."

My sister-in-law only has one silver hairpin in her hair, which she wears like a precious treasure every day. Although Cui Cui is still young, she is at the age where she loves to look beautiful, so she should dress up a bit.

Ye Dazhuang glanced at her sideways, his Adam's apple bobbing. "And you? What kind of jewelry do you like?"

Ye Qingqing was caught off guard by his question and casually replied,

"I like anything valuable, not just jewelry, I want gold and silver treasures!"

Ye Dazhuang, "..."

When we got back to Kaoshantun, it was just getting dark.

The courtyard was filled with the aroma of stewed meat, along with the rich fragrance of rice and steamed buns.

Ye Qingqing kicked open the courtyard gate and shouted loudly and proudly.

"Dad! Eldest brother and sister-in-law, Cuicui! We're back!"

Li Chunyan was busy in the kitchen when she heard the commotion and quickly ran out, laughing and scolding.

"What's wrong? What's all the fuss about? Second daughter, you're back, so what's with the noise?"

"You must be freezing! Quick, come inside and warm up!"

Ye Youliang's voice came from inside the house, calling out to her with concern.

"Judging from the weather, it's going to snow in a couple of days. We can't go into town anymore, what if you get cold?"

As soon as Ye Qingqing entered the room, she took out a stack of silver notes from her bosom and slapped them into Ye Youliang's hand.

"Dad, this is what I earned selling wild vegetables today. Please count it!"

Ye Youliang trembled all over, and took the silver notes with shaky hands, then looked at them one by one under the oil lamp.

"This...this is...ten taels? Twenty taels? My goodness..."

As he counted the money, his hands trembled, and he grimaced as he said, "Second Girl, you sold the wild vegetables for so much money?"

"Hmm!"

Ye Qingqing is getting better and better at pronouncing Kaoshantun. She said proudly, "This is nothing. Today, people in town were fighting over it. They were even fighting over it for a tael of silver per catty!"

Those who couldn't buy it, just order it from me for tomorrow. I even collected over three hundred taels in deposits!

"More than three hundred taels..."

Li Chunyan's legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground. "My goodness, are those people just bored out of their minds? They have perfectly good rice and flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but they eat wild vegetables instead!"

This is absolutely mind-blowing!

I really don't understand those rich people. Don't they enjoy rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish, and meat?
