Soon it was time for another day off.
Yingbao returned to the shop in the evening of the previous day.
It was already dark, the shops were closed, and there were not many people outside.
She stood outside the shop and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly took out several baskets of dried mushrooms and more than ten baskets of fruits.
Like lychees, papayas, longans, loquats, apples, etc., two large baskets of each were taken out.
Then he called out to the inside: "Big brother, second brother! Come out and get the things!"
The shop had just closed, and Jiang Cheng hadn't gone home yet, so he came out quickly. Seeing so many baskets of fruit and mushrooms next to his little cousin, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You went back home?"
"No, I bought these from a traveling merchant." Ying Bao handed him a piece of paper and said, "I saw that the price was quite cheap, so I bought some more."
Jiang Cheng was very happy, and hurried to open the door, saying, "Erquan has gone home to pick fruit, and the shop is worried about having no goods to put on the shelves. Your help is just in time."
He lowered two doors of the shop and moved in baskets of fruits and mushrooms.
My aunt and Zhang Yuying came to help when they heard the noise. They were surprised to see that their little niece brought back so many things.
Yingbao picked up some fruits and handed them to Zhang Yuying and Hongxiao, "Here, they are delicious."
Zhang Yuying took it, thanked him, and started eating grapes with her sister.
After dinner, the family sat in the main room and began to pack the mushrooms. Soon they finished packing dozens of kilograms of mushrooms.
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "A while ago, several customers placed orders for golden fungus and asked us to deliver them as soon as they arrived. Yingbao, these fungus fungi arrived just in time."
Yingbao touched her nose.
Jiang Cheng added: "Yingbao, I will give you the original price of the mushroom ear first. If you come across a good one next time, I will charge you more."
The golden fungus and snow fungus in the shop are always insufficient and usually sold out soon after they arrive, so Jiang Cheng was very happy to see his little cousin bringing back so many mushrooms.
Ying Bao nodded: "Okay." The mushrooms she had just harvested in her cave would dry up in about ten days, which would probably be just enough to make up for the loss. It would be a good idea to keep the principal now, and then send the golden ears back directly, and say that she had met a mushroom grower, and that he sent her mushroom ears regularly.
After all, Huimin Pharmacy also collects medicinal materials, and herbal farmers often send their herbs over to sell, so it is normal to purchase some yourself.
Afterwards, Jiang Cheng handed over the principal of this batch of mushrooms to Ying Bao, a total of more than nine hundred taels of silver.
He originally wanted to give his cousin some silver bills so that she could carry them easily, but it turned out that his cousin only wanted cash.
This is good, as I don't have to go to a money shop to exchange it, and save myself the trouble of paying interest to the money shop.
On the second day, Yingbao asked her eldest cousin to deliver two baskets of fruit to the county government office. She did not go there herself, but instead took her eldest cousin's wife's pulse in the shop.
Qiu Rong is already five months pregnant, her belly is slightly bulging, and the fetus's breathing seems healthy.
"Sister-in-law, you can eat more fruits at this time. Grapes and loquats are good. Apples can also be eaten. But lychees and longans are very hot, so don't eat too much."
Yingbao advised: "Eat more thoroughly cooked fish on weekdays, and don't eat those that are grilled."
Qiu Rong nodded repeatedly: "I will listen to my sister."
Ying Bao added, "Big brother has been busy lately, so why don't you just live with us? When I'm not around, you and big brother can just stay in my room temporarily. It will be more convenient with aunt looking after you."
Qiu Rong had also had this idea a long time ago.
She had nothing to do at home alone, and her husband was taking care of the shop and couldn't spare the time to accompany her all day.
Since my little cousin proposed this, I am absolutely willing to do it.
The two sisters-in-law were talking when suddenly a little kid of about three or four years old ran into the shop, crying and shouting to Zhang Yuying, "Brother."
Zhang Yuying was stunned, and quickly pulled him aside and asked, "Xiao Lang, why are you here?"
Zhang Xiaolang burst into tears and hugged Yuying, saying, "Brother, I want to be with you, wuwuwuwu..."
Zhang Yuying wiped Xiaolang's tears and found that her half brother's face was bruised and purple. She couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Who hit you?"
"My aunt beat me." Zhang Xiaolang sobbed, "She called me a bad person who betrays my family... Wuuuuuuu, brother, I don't want my aunt, I want to live with you..."
Zhang Yuying: …
"What's going on?" Jiang Yunniang came in upon hearing the noise, a rolling pin in her hand.
Zhang Yuying looked at her mother in embarrassment: "Mom, Xiaolang was beaten by that woman, he wants to live with us."
Jiang Yunniang frowned and said, "It was fine for us to support him before, but now I have divorced your father, so what's the point of him staying here?"
Zhang Yuying lowered her head, hugged Zhang Xiaolang tightly, and said weakly: "Mom, let him stay here for a while."
Jiang Yunniang looked at her son for a moment, said nothing more, turned around and left the shop, and went to the snack stall to roll pancakes.
Seeing Zhang Xiaolang clinging to Zhang Yuying, Yingbao felt sorry for him and gave him an apple.
Zhang Xiaolang took the apple, thanked him, gave Zhang Yuying a bite first, and then he started to eat small bites himself.
Qiu Rong was pregnant and couldn't bear to see such a pitiful little baby, so she hurried to the kitchen to get him a boiled egg: "Here, you haven't had breakfast yet, Yuying, go get a bowl of vegetable porridge."
Zhang Yuying nodded and took her brother to the snack stand to get some vegetable porridge.
It was almost noon, so Jiang Yunniang closed the snack stall and hurried to the kitchen to cook.
Eight-year-old Hongxiao helped her by sorting and washing vegetables.
Jiang Cheng went to deliver the goods early in the morning, and also went to the county government office to deliver some fruit. He was busy until noon before returning.
Yingbao and her eldest cousin's wife were selling goods in the shop, while Zhang Yuying was watching over them and occasionally helping with weighing.
Zhang Xiaolang sat obediently in the shop, playing with a tangram in his hand.
This is the toy Yingbao gave him, and he never let go of it.
After lunch, Yingbao staggered back to the hospital.
I bought whatever I liked on the way, and also bought a small charcoal stove and a kettle.
The charcoal stove I bought before is all at home, and it is not convenient to take it out from the cave.
When they were almost at the gate of the hospital, Yingbao put some fruits in her backpack and then walked into the yard.
The courtyard of the Yin-Yang Department is remote and the area is large enough, but there are few trees inside. There are only a few camphor trees, a few clumps of evergreen trees, and a clump of bamboo.
Yingbao looked around the empty yard as she walked and decided to plant some more fruit trees here, preferably a fruit forest, so that her master could enjoy fruit freedom.
He did what he said. While his fellow brothers were away and his master had gone somewhere unknown, he planted a few fruit trees and some grape groves in the yard.
Yingbao secretly ran to her master's room to take a look, and seeing that they were indeed not there, she immediately took out the fruit tree seedlings.
I dug several holes in a good place and finally planted the fruit trees and grapes.
These saplings are not big, so the holes don't need to be dug too big. In the later stage, just water them with more pupil spring water to ensure that they take root and grow quickly.
She was humming a little tune while watering the fruit trees when she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind.
Yingbao eats Wudingzhi all year round, and coupled with daily training, her keen perception is not like that of ordinary children.
She turned around suddenly and threw the scoop in her hand out.
"Ouch~!" The person behind was hit and cried out, covering his forehead with his hands.
When Yingbao saw who was coming, she got angry and kicked the person so hard that he was kicked far away. The person fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Why are you sneaking into the Yin-Yang Department?" She put her hands on her hips and glared at the person lying on the ground.
