45 Chapter 45: Chinese Toon Tree

After the meal, Big Girl Li returned to the Liu family and told them that Qin Xiaoyao could help them sell their vegetables.

After that, she brought her tools back to the Song family and went into the mountain with Qin Xiaoyao.

“The few mountains out here have been turned upside down by the villagers, so I guess we won’t be able to find anything good. We have to go deeper inside.” Qin Xiaoyao led Big Girl Li and headed deep into the mountains.

“That may be true, but it’s very dangerous deep in the mountains. We’re both fragile women. What if something happens?” Big Girl Li was a little scared.

Qin Xiaoyao turned around and glanced at Big Girl Li.

Well, she would have to excuse Qin Xiaoyao’s poor eyesight, but she found it really hard to see how Big Girl Li was a ‘fragile woman.’

Of course, Qin Xiaoyao herself was probably more manly than Big Girl Li right now.

Ahem, forget it. She would not dwell on this question.

“I’m not going deep into the mountains. I’m just going to search around the nearby mountains.”

“I’ve been here before, but I didn’t encounter any wild beasts.”

It would be great if she could really run into wild beasts. If she killed them and sold their meat and skins, she could make a small fortune with just one beast.

“Then… alright.” Big Girl Li could only agree.

If it was only on the outskirts outside the deep mountains, there shouldn’t be any danger.

With this in mind, the two of them quickly went up the mountain where they had dug up the Chinese yams previously.

In the end, after walking for only a while, the two of them found a surprise.

“Sister San… Sanya, this… this is Chinese yam, right?” Big Girl Li almost cried out in surprise.

She remembered it very clearly, so she definitely wouldn’t be mistaken!

Qin Xiaoyao, who was walking not far away, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She quickly walked to Big Girl Li’s side and took a look. It was indeed a Chinese yam vine.

“Hah! It really is a Chinese yam vine! It looks like we’re going to be rich again!” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao put down the bamboo basket backpack she was carrying.

Big Girl Li also put down her backpack, took out her tools, and prepared to work.

The two of them quickly started working, and soon they dug out more than 40 catties of Chinese yam.

Big Girl Li looked at the Chinese yams that were dug out, and the more she looked at them, the more she liked them.

“Sister Sanya, will you still give me 20% from the sale of these Chinese yams?” She thought of something and looked at Qin Xiaoyao with anticipation.

Although she was the one who found the Chinese yams, it was still Sister Sanya who put in more effort to dig them out.

In addition, without Sister Sanya, there was no way to sell these Chinese yams to Fortune Mansion.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed as she wiped off her sweat.

“What 20%? When we go out together in the future, we’ll split 60-40 for everything we find in the mountains. I’ll take 60%, and you’ll take 40%!”

Qin Xiaoyao actually wanted to split it 50-50. However, after thinking about it, she realized that she was stronger and had indeed put in more effort.

Furthermore, she had allowed Big Girl Li to follow her. She had to take more to show off her big sister’s status, right?

Big Girl Li’s eyes were already shining.

“Oh, Sister Sanya, you’re the best!” She almost rushed up to Qin Sanya to give her a big, emotional hug.

She had really misunderstood Qin Sanya in the past. Her Sister Sanya was a good person, the best person in the world!

Qin Xiaoyao only felt a sense of chilly disgust and quickly looked away.

“We’ve only walked for a short while before discovering more Chinese yam. It seems there are quite a lot of Chinese yams nearby. Or perhaps, this mountain has a lot of Chinese yams.” Qin Xiaoyao analyzed and said.

If that was the case, then she could continue to earn money from the Chinese yams.

After hearing this, Big Girl Li was even more excited than Qin Xiaoyao.

“There’s more? Then what are we waiting for? Let’s continue searching!” she said.

Looking at the Chinese yams that she had dug out, Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and said, “I still have to go up the mountain. It’s not convenient to bring these Chinese yams with me. Let’s find a place to put them first, and we’ll take them with us when we come back later.”

She might be strong, but it would consume her special ability’s energy too.

In the past few days, she had used up most of her recovered power from her special ability, and didn’t use much of it to restore her body.

Whenever she could save her energy, she would want to do so.

She also wanted to lose all the fat and blubber on her body as soon as possible.

However, Big Girl Li was a little hesitant.

“What if they were taken away by others…” These Chinese yams were at least forty catties, which would bring in more than two hundred copper coins.

If she really lost them, she would cry herself to death.

“Who’s going to take them so deep in the mountains and forests? Besides, not everyone knows that this Chinese yam is edible.” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

“That… that’s true.” Big Girl Li finally nodded.

“Then let’s hide them well.” As Big Girl Li spoke, she personally took action.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed and lent Big Girl Li a hand.

After a while, the two of them had hidden the Chinese yams in the grass by the roadside.

Qin Xiaoyao even made a mark on a tree at the side.

“Let’s go,” she said to Big Girl Li after she was done.

“Okay.”

The two of them then continued to walk up the mountain.

They walked very slowly and checked the surrounding vegetation along the way for fear of missing the Chinese yam vines.

Suddenly, Qin Xiaoyao made a discovery.

“There’s Chinese yam here too! Big Girl, come over quickly!” She shouted to Big Girl Li.

Big Girl Li’s face lit up with joy, and she rushed toward Qin Xiaoyao.

“Where, Sister Sanya?” She had found another plot of Chinese yams. She was going to be rich, rich!

“Here! There are a few vines. Let’s dig them out and see.”

As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she began digging with the hoe.

After they finished digging, they didn’t get as many Chinese yams as they had at the previous place, but they still got more than ten catties.

“It seems that there are indeed a lot of Chinese yams in this mountain. If we search more carefully, we can probably dig up a lot more.”

“Yup!” Big Girl Li nodded excitedly.

There weren’t many Chinese yams this time. Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and didn’t hide them by the roadside.

Instead, she put them into her backpack and continued to walk up the mountain.

In the end, after walking for a while, she found something good again.

This time, it wasn’t Chinese yam, but a Chinese Toon tree.

Moreover, it was a large patch of Chinese Toon trees! There were at least a hundred of them.

And the one closest to her was right beside her.

The reason she was so sure was that her extraordinary sense of smell had already detected the fragrance of Chinese Toon shoots.

It was spring now and the perfect time for Chinese Toon to sprout. This was really good stuff!

“Big Girl, has anyone ever said that you’re a Lucky Star?” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly asked Big Girl Li.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Big Girl didn’t let her go deep into the mountains, perhaps she wouldn’t have gone up this particular mountain.

If she hadn’t come here, how could she have found the new Chinese yams and these Chinese Toon trees?

The young shoot of a Chinese Toon tree was a truly precious vegetable.

Even before the apocalypse, this thing was being sold in taels, or 1⁄16 of a catty.

“Huh?” Big Girl Li was a little confused.

Lucky Star?

“Big Girl, I think we’re really going to be rich this time.” Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Qin Xiaoyao turned around and looked at Big Girl Li with a solemn face.

Not only were the Chinese Toon shoots expensive, but they could also regrow after being plucked. Typically, it would take two to three days for new shoots to grow out.

This meant that these Chinese Toon trees could yield more Chinese Toon shoots for them.

“Huh?” Big Girl Li was still a little confused, but her heart started to beat faster.

“Sister Sanya…”

Qin Xiaoyao suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled over a small tree that was growing upright.

Then, from the top of a branch, she plucked a Chinese Toon shoot off.

“You try smelling…” She then handed the Chinese Toon shoot to Big Girl Li.

Big Girl Li pushed her nose forward and immediately smelled a strong fragrance.

“This is…” she asked Qin Sanya in bewilderment.
