58 Chapter 58: Are You a Martial Arts Expert?
After trying twice and realizing that she couldn’t get the essence, Big Girl Li gave up.
“Ahem… in short, my Sister Sanya is a Divine Being!”
“In the end, not only was Boss Fang impressed enough to increase the price of the Chinese yam by one copper coin, but she also managed to get Boss Fang to buy our Chinese Toon shoots at a high price of five copper coins per tael.”
“Chinese Toon shoots is a fantastic item. It’s different from Chinese yam. After plucking, it can regrow! And it only takes two to three days to regrow!”
“From now on, Sister Sanya and I will go to town once every two days, and we will send ten catties each time. This is all money!”
Hearing this, Aunt Liu couldn’t stay calm anymore.
“You… you can get ten catties of it every two days?” 10 catties would yield 500 copper coins!
Even if her daughter-in-law could only get 40%, that was still 200 copper coins! This was not even including the money she got from selling the Chinese yam!
Good grief! Earning money this way was even faster than her eldest son working in town!
“Where… where did you two get these things?” Aunt Liu swallowed her saliva and could not resist asking her daughter-in-law.
She thought that if she could find these things, perhaps she could also send them to the Song family to exchange for money.
Unexpectedly, Big Girl Li’s expression changed suddenly.
Not only did her face turn icy cold, but she also looked at her mother-in-law and little sister-in-law with a warning expression.
The two of them almost lowered their heads.
Seeing the fear on the two’s faces, Big Girl Li realized that she had gone too far and quickly restrained her displeasure.
“Ahem… Mother, don’t try to ask around about this thing.”
“Sister Sanya said this is a ‘business secret’ between us. Only by keeping it a secret can we keep making money in the long run and maintain our good cooperation.”
“We’ve already agreed with each other that no one is to reveal the core secret. Not even to our own family. This is also to ensure that the method of making money is absolutely safe.”
Aunt Liu came back to her senses.
She thought for a moment and then nodded.
His daughter-in-law was right.
The things in the mountains had no owners. If their secret was discovered and someone else followed in their footsteps, it would definitely have a big impact on their daughters-in-law.
Seeing that her mother-in-law agreed with her words, Big Girl Li’s heart relaxed.
“The reason I’m telling you this is to let you know that I can make money and have a bright future working for Sister Sanya. I hope you can rest assured.”
“But don’t ask too much about other things. And don’t tell anyone about this.”
Aunt Liu hurriedly nodded.
Then, she looked at her own daughter.
“Listen to your Sister-in-law,” she instructed Liu Xiaomei.
Liu Xiaomei also understood the gravity of the matter and nodded in agreement.
Big Girl Li was satisfied.
“My Sister Sanya is a genius. Her knowledge and ideas were far beyond that of ordinary people. These Chinese yams and Chinese Toon shoots are just the beginning. I have a feeling that she’s going to do something else.”
“As for me, I just have to listen to her and work with her. As long as we don’t have any evil thoughts, our family will become rich sooner or later if we follow her!” Big Girl Li said again.
Sister Sanya sometimes felt that she was stupid, but was she really stupid?
Hah! She wasn’t stupid at all.
She would not give up a true money tree for a small profit.
As long as she hugged her Sister Sanya’s leg tightly, the benefits she would get in the future would be endless.
Back at the Song family.
With Qin Xiaoyao’s help, Madam Liu had turned more than half of the tofu into golden-fried tofu cubes.
Then, she stir-fried the streaky pork with golden-fried tofu cubes and chili sauce, before stir-frying another vegetable dish. She used the remaining tofu to make a vegetable soup.
The sumptuous meal made the family particularly happy.
This was especially true for little Song Ye, who ate until his little stomach was almost full.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li went out late.
They went to that mountain again and continued to look for Chinese yams.
When they arrived near the Chinese Toon trees, Big Girl Li saw that the trees they had just plucked yesterday had already sprouted new shoots in some places. She was utterly amazed.
“I told you this thing grows fast. If it rains, the speed will be even faster.” Qin Xiaoyao said with a smile.
“Let them grow for another day tomorrow, and we’ll pick them in the morning the day after tomorrow.”
“When the time comes, only pick those that are sturdy. After picking them, we’ll send them to town at once. Not only are they fresh, but we don’t have to worry about losing some from damage!”
“Alright!” Big Girl Li replied, nodding repeatedly. She felt that her Sister Sanya’s words made sense.
In addition, there was dew in the morning, so maybe it would add to the overall weight. She thought of this but didn’t say anything.
“This mountain is a treasure land. We’ll search inch by inch. We must not let a single Chinese yam off,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.
“Okay!” Big Girl Li nodded again.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao assign an area to Big Girl. Then, she and Big Girl started to search for Chinese yams in two areas not far away from each other.
Along the way, even if the two of them found the Chinese yam vines, as long as the quantity was not much, they would process them on their own.
They had already set themselves a target. Today, they would search for all the Chinese yams thoroughly in the designated areas.
Qin Xiaoyao found two vines and swung her hoe to dig up the Chinese yams.
Suddenly, she heard rustling sounds coming from the bushes not far away.
Her eyes flickered as she saw loose stones not far from her feet.
Without thinking, Qin Xiaoyao picked up the two pieces of loose stones on the ground.
Then, she held her breath and focused her attention, pouring her strength-attribute special ability into the stones, looking in the direction of the sound.
Then, when she saw two gray-furred creatures, she quickly struck…
With two anguished screeches, the two hares kicked their legs and struggled for a while before becoming motionless.
Big Girl Li had also heard the commotion by now.
When she turned around, she saw her Sister Sanya running off into the distance urgently with a smile on her face.
“Sister Sanya!” Big Girl Li shouted immediately.
However, she controlled the volume of her voice and did not shout too loudly.
Primarily, she was afraid of being overheard by other people, who would then discover that they were on this mountain.
This was their Treasure Mountain after all, so they had to do their best to keep the secret of this mountain.
Qin Xiaoyao heard Big Girl Li’s voice, but she didn’t turn around.
She kept running until she reached the location where the two hares were and picked them up.
Seeing this, Big Girl Li was shocked.
After that, she couldn’t be bothered to continue looking for Chinese yams anymore.
She threw her tools down and ran towards Qin Xiaoyao.
“Sister Sanya, you’ve trapped wild hares!” She exclaimed in a low voice.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao turn to look at Big Girl Li.
“I didn’t trap them,” she said with a grin.
Then, she carried the hares and walked toward Big Girl Li.
Big Girl Li quickly ran to Qin Xiaoyao’s side, and only then did she see the bloody holes on the necks of the two hares.
“This is…” Big Girl Li was shocked.
“I shot them,” Qin Xiaoyao said outright.
Seeing that Big Girl Li didn’t understand, she smiled.
She picked up a piece of rock, poured the power of her strength-attribute special ability into it, and shot it at a small tree not far away.
Then, a miraculous scene happened.
The small tree was instantly cut down by the stone.
“Ah!” Big Girl Li couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Sister… Sister Sanya, are you… you a martial arts expert?” Then, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao with reverence.
