Chapter 239: The King of the Barbarian Mountain VS the Indifferent Scholar (11)
Tao Yanqi looked at Qiu Yanping standing there in a daze, her brows furrowed, she walked quickly to Qiu Yanping and said, "What are you doing standing here stupidly?" ”
Qiu Yanping pursed his lips and did not answer Tao Yanqi's words.
"Your ecstasy is useless for the time being, you can see if you can make a little anesthetic, I can go hunting wild boars!"
Speaking of wild boars, Taoyan's eyes lit up.
"You can take the herbs in the herb room as you like, but you have to report them to me, do you know?" Tao Yan made a straight face, deliberately scaring Qiu Yanping.
Qiu Yanping clenched his fists, and it took a long time before he slowly let out a "um" from his nose.
Tao Yanqi waved her hand and asked Qiu Yanping to leave, while she herself was busy with other things.
In the afternoon of the next day, the first group of people who went down the mountain to sell sugar gourds returned.
Their faces were full of joy, and they told the people in the cottage how popular the sugar gourd was, and how much silver it sold.
This made the people in the cottage very happy, and strictly speaking, this was the first money they had earned through legitimate means.
Tao Yanqi was also very happy, at least she didn't have to worry about starving.
Because of the success of the sugar gourd, there is almost no need to urge anything, and everyone is actively working to sell more silver.
That night, the dog returned.
He told the people who listened to the wind that the man had paid the rest of the honorarium, a total of fifty taels of silver.
But on the way back, he bought some seeds, fruits and vegetables, and some meat, so that there were only forty taels left.
Tao Yanqi also understood that the dog wanted to improve his life in the cottage, so she didn't say much about the ten taels he used.
If the dog didn't say it, she didn't know how much money the listening wind boy had given.
The dog didn't hide it from her, but told her the truth, which reassured her a little.
The monkey will come on the afternoon of the third day, and all the money on him will be spent.
Tao Yanqi glanced at the things he brought back and nodded with satisfaction.
Because the monkey actually brought back a roast duck! Oily roast duck!
God knows how long it's been since she's eaten meat!
Tao Yanqi was so excited that she almost cried, but fortunately, she couldn't break down to stop her excitement from crying.
Tao Yanqi and the dog monkey shared the roast duck and ate it, as for Qiu Yanping, of course he didn't have his share!
Eat two bowls of millet porridge a day and still want to eat roast duck? No way!
The following days became extremely busy, and the seeds she brought back needed to be sown and taken care of at all times.
And in order to let the people in the cottage have meat to eat, she also led a few bandits to hunt wild boars.
The traps set up before were very effective, and basically a hare or pheasant could be harvested every two or three days.
Tao Yanqi kept the hares and pheasants in captivity, and when they grew a little fatter, they could be slaughtered and eaten!
Tao Yanqi focused on "eating", completely leaving Qiu Yanping behind.
During this time, Qiu Yanping took out the herbs he wanted from the herb shop little by little and hid them, just waiting for the day when the herbs were all available to refine the medicine he wanted.
Qiu Yanping naturally noticed the change in Tao Yanqi, and he didn't know when he no longer existed in that woman's eyes.
Qiu Yanping sometimes felt a burst of sourness inexplicably, he didn't know why this feeling appeared, he desperately wanted to escape from all this.
