The old man had been a member of the hunting team in the village when he was young. However, he had survived the beast tide a few times.

Lin Gangliang knew that if he were to say anything, he would definitely be scolded. He rolled his eyes and looked at the busy woman in the kitchen. He made up his mind.

The old man had two sons and three daughters; he valued sons and daughters, and his daughters all married far away. The eldest son was honest and honest, with a few acres of land in the village that he barely managed to live on, and occasionally he even had to go to the county to carry his bag and earn money.

The eldest son's daughter-in-law was exchanged with a daughter of the old man. She had a stiff personality and was very compatible with Lin Gangliang. She knew how to work and didn't know how to talk, so she lived quite a rough life at home.

Lin Gangliang knew that even though this old man didn't say anything, his heart was definitely in love with his big brother. Back then, this old man also wanted to send his big brother to be a yamen runner, but he didn't have that much skill. Lin Gangliang used some tricks and got the old man to send him away.

Therefore, the old man felt guilty towards his big brother. If he could let his big brother and his family live a good life, the old man would definitely think about it.

"Father, don't be anxious." Let me ask you, how many families are there in our village? "

His son suddenly changed the topic. Lin Qiang knew that his second son was sly and must have some hidden meaning. He hesitated before replying, "It's only a hundred families. What's wrong?"

"What was the original level of this lady's house in this hundred and ten clans?"

"Not as good as us." Their family had not yet split up. With his second son serving as a yamen runner in the county, his family was one of the best in the village.

"But look at the current level of Jiao's mother's family. Her son had just come to her house to demand justice. Her family's walls were even higher than ours, and they even had a new mill built? And the pigsty down the slope is hers, too? "

"This …" Under his son's string of questions, Lin Qiang lost all face and reprimanded him harshly, "I wonder which wild man gave it to her. How can such a filthy thing be compared to our family?"

"Good, good, good!" Lin Gangliang knew his father's personality and quickly changed the topic, "Look at the families that can grind tofu in the village." Good, good, "Lin Gangliang knew his father's personality, quickly changed the topic," Look at the families that can grind tofu in the village.

Lin Gangliang had personally witnessed this with his own eyes. Without mentioning anything else, just the poor family next door who had worked in the house for two months had mastered the art of tofu grinding. Now, the thatched cottage was completely new and was ready to buy a donkey to grind tofu at home.

This time, before Old Man Lin could say anything, his old woman couldn't help but open her mouth. "That's enough, stop teasing your father. Hurry up and tell him what you think."

Making tofu was much easier than farming, and she was even earning so much money. She had long since wanted to get some information from the girl, but the old man had stopped her. The last time the girl came to beg for the two puppies, the old man had kicked her out.

She had originally wanted to give him some money, but if it really didn't work out, she would go to her daughter's house and work for a few months. She wanted to get the tofu recipe over so that her eldest brother's family could feel less burdened!

"Don't say it, I really want to come up with a scheme today. Listen to me first …"

Lin Gangliang covered the door and began to inform his parents of his plan.

That noon, Lin Qiang's daughter-in-law brought a bamboo basket to Lin Yang's house to buy two sides of tofu. She said that her brother and sister-in-law had not eaten tofu since they came back, and wanted to have a look …

Usually, Huang Yi would return this morning, but he was still nowhere to be seen. Cheng Yanzhong was even more anxious than the little girl, saying that if Huang Yi did something that would let him down, he would go find those brother-in-law brothers of his and teach Huang Yi a lesson.

It wasn't until lunch was ready that Huang Yi came back with the oxcart.

Cheng Huzhong paced back and forth at the entrance of the village. When he saw the Taoist priest pulling an ox-cart, he said with an extremely vicious expression, "I thought you were not planning to come back!"

He was much taller than Cheng Huzhong, and just like that, he took it over with ease. Cheng Huzhong leaned against his chest and felt the hardness of his chest, then jumped backwards, not caring about Huang Yi's excessive actions.

"It's all silver!?" After saying that, he realized that his voice was too loud. He hurriedly looked around and asked again in a low voice, "All of it was silver?"

Huang Yi looked at his mysterious slut and revealed a smirk, patting his chest: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Hearing the sound of the colliding silver, Cheng Huzhong couldn't help being excited. This was a lot of silver after all.

His hands were shaking and his heart was thumping fast. He moved closer to Huang Yi: "Tell me what's going on first."

Huang Yi shooed him away like he was shooing a fly, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Cheng's mouth was wide open, and he had completely forgotten how he had maliciously guessed the other party's identity.

When he returned home, Cheng Huzhong immediately closed the door like a thief and pushed Huang Yi to hurry up and take the stuff out.

The cute girl was confused by their actions and could not figure out what was going on, "What's wrong?" Did you pick up gold on the way? "

Huang Yi smiled as he took out a piece of silk from his pocket and opened it. Inside were two pieces of silver the size of a baby's fist. It looked like it contained around a hundred taels of silver.

The cute girl was a little surprised. Although she felt that Huang Yi was a talented person in business who could be nurtured, this progress was too great!

"Where did you get so much money?"

Huang Yi stroked his short and sparse beard and chuckled, beginning to tell everyone about yesterday's fortuitous encounters.

He actually went to the market yesterday. Although there were women here to buy it, most of them felt that it was a bit expensive and started to bargain with him. At the beginning, Huang Yi was patient and kept going back and forth with them, but in the end, he only sold a few cans. Seeing that the sun was high in the sky and there was still half a car left, he picked up the rest of the cans and pulled the oxcart away.

Where to? Of course, they were going to walk towards the place where the rich gathered. Those servants and wives of the rich and powerful families would not be able to eat the good jam from their masters. They would be willing to eat some of this jam. Huang Yi sold quite a few cans.

He wanted to raise the price of the canned food to the rich and influential families. The ladies who tasted it all felt that it was worth it, so they paid for it with gusto.

This also reminded Huang Yi, why when placed in different places, the canned food would also be popular, but the prices would be different? Aren't these determined by different classes of customers?

Therefore, he packed up the cans and took the ox-cart directly to the riverside dock. There were many passenger ships there, and the people on the boats traveled for ten days to half a month. They definitely needed these canned fruits that were different in taste.

It had to be said that Huang Yi truly had a business mind. Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help but look at him with an exceptionally appreciative gaze, thinking that she really got a treasure this time.

Huang Yi was like … The loving gaze was a bit scary. It felt like his mother was praising him. He shook the goose bumps on his skin. The little girl was just a twenty-year-old girl, how could she have this kind of illusion?

He went on to say that he had gone to the riverside docks. The first few passenger ships that came were all ordinary, and even though there were a lot of people on board, most of them were guests who had to travel to their hometown. They did not have much money on them, so naturally they could not buy canned fruits.

In other words, it was possible that he could sell these canned fruits, and it was even more likely that he did not find anything.

Just as Huang Yi was disheartened and prepared to return to the market to sell, a brand-new passenger ship arrived. The ship stopped at the pier and a large group of maids and wives were surrounding a beautiful young girl wearing a veil, resting at the bow of the ship.

Huang Yi heard the supervisor on the boat asking if there was light food on the docks, and was hit by a sudden inspiration. He immediately pulled the oxcart over to recommend himself, saying that he could give his young lady a free canned food for her to taste.

The manager hesitated for a moment, then asked what the canned food was made of and how it was done. Huang Yi replied to each of them, then took the canned food and returned to the boat.

Huang Yi didn't know what happened next. Maybe the canned food really did suit his young miss, so the manager said he was going to buy the rest of the canned food. He was in a hurry, so he didn't even ask for the price and just left with a bag of silver.

When Huang Yi took the money and looked at it, he realized that he had really hit the jackpot! That was a hundred taels of silver! It was impossible to say that he did not have any other intentions, but like the lady said, he was a smart person. A smart person would know whether to have a chicken or an egg.

"What symbol is on that passenger ship you're talking about?" After hearing all of this, Ye Xuan's brows were tightly knitted. He hoped it wasn't like what he'd imagined.
