C72 Picking vegetables (2/2)

”Alright then. You can continue to chop wood. I'll go find my big brother.” After Fang Ru Xiu finished speaking, she left.

However, she didn't have to find Fang Yizheng this time. She would find him if she could, but if she couldn't, she should just pick the ferns first.

This place was close to the mountain peak, and there were more ferns here than there were below. Only someone as fast as Fang Ruzhu would be able to reach such a high mountain. Otherwise, they would have to spend all their time on the road.

Fang Yizheng should be down there, this mountain is huge, I must have missed out on him. However, Fang Ruxiu did not care. She just picked up the ferns by herself. There were a lot of ferns in this place, so she did not need to look for them. As long as her hands were fast enough, it would be fine.

Fang Ru Xiu was the kind of person who was quick to pick. After picking for a while, she was a bit tired, so she consoled herself and treated it as cultivation. Like this, her harvest was pretty good.

In less than an hour, she had already prepared a large sackcloth bag for storing the ferns.

Fang Ruzhu wanted to gather more each time. If she couldn't finish, she could just dry them and cook them into dried vegetables. She could use them when she ran out of dishes later on. The reason why the women in the village picked these ferns was so that they could eat them themselves. The other one could also be sold. There were a lot of people who bought these ferns in the town and it was said that some of the nobles in the city liked to eat them.

A single coin was enough to buy three pounds. However, in the eyes of these women, three pounds of money was equivalent to an egg. In their eyes, this was unfounded and naturally attracted many women to come to the mountain to pick ferns.

He didn't expect that the people of ancient times could do business here. Originally, he had thought that he could live on the mountain, but he didn't expect that someone would provoke her not long ago and let her earn a fortune.

Thinking about this matter, she blushed a little. However, this kind of ill-gotten wealth was much faster than the money she earned from hard work. Even if she painstakingly picked up a few pounds today, she would still be able to earn 10 gold coins.

Alright, she didn't think that a hundred taels was too much. Ten pieces of money wasn't too little for her. Now that she had started to earn money again, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

If she bought the land, built a wall, and built a house, then she wouldn't be able to keep the 100 taels of silver. She still wanted to buy a cow; it would be easier to work in this way. That's right, he still had to buy a few sheep. In any case, his seven to eight acres of land was huge and he had plenty of grass. If he were to raise the sheep, he would be able to drink some sweet goat milk.

Everyone loved beauty. She worked and practiced martial arts every day. If she did not take proper care of herself, her face would soon become as red as the rumours about the chapped land and the high altitude.

She also said that she wanted to bring the family to a whole new height, so she must have been defeated first with her appearance.

As she worked by herself, she thought about the beautiful things that would happen in the future as she picked ferns. Fang Ru's embroidery was rather relaxing, and time passed quite quickly. In the blink of an eye, the morning had already passed. Seeing that no one was around, Fang Ruxiu put her own ferns into her storage space and then easily used her footwork to walk down the mountain.

On the way, they met the youth who chopped firewood again. He was not much older than Fang Yizheng, but he was carrying a large firewood down the mountain. Fang Ru Xiu could only sigh at how a poor child took charge early. Without any hesitation, she ran past him, leaving the youth far behind.

Hehe, she doesn't have that kind of sympathy. She's still in a hurry to go home and eat dinner.

When they were almost to the door of their house, seeing that no one was around, Fang Ru Xiu found a corner and dragged back the large bag of ferns that she had picked.

Yeats was heating a fire and cooking in the corridor outside of the room. When he saw Fang Ruxiu dragging in a large bag of food, he immediately walked over and helped her bring it back.

”Ru Xiu, what's inside? Fern? ” Yeats looked at such a big bag of things and asked with some doubt. She guessed that it was ferns, but in her eyes, Fang Ruyi was just a young miss who only knew how to embroider.

”Yeah.” However, Fang Ruzhu nodded and said, ”I ran up there to see if Big Brother was there. I didn't think that Big Brother wouldn't be there, but there are a lot of ferns there. I'm afraid that everyone else would come up, so I picked them very quickly.”

”It's been hard on you, son.” Yeats told Fang Ruxiu to rest first, and then he moved the fern into the hallway by himself. After that, he walked over to the stove and continued lighting the fire.

Xu Soo Huan and Xu Suqiu, the two little friends, were playing in the courtyard. When they saw Fang Ru coming back, they followed behind her, but because they were still unfamiliar with her, they didn't speak.

Fang Ruzhu originally wanted to pinch the two little bun's face, but her hands were a little dirty at the moment, so she first filled a basin with water. After washing her hands, she called the two little bun over. She knew that this child loved to play and his hands were always dirty, so she earnestly washed them both before pinching their faces.
