As soon as Li Yu arrived at the door of his house, he saw Li Qing walking out, "Qing, where are you going?"

Li Qing saw the blood on Li Yu's body and was so frightened that he rushed over to check, "Sister, what's going on with you? You're bleeding!"

Li Yu smiled and comforted Li Qing, "It's okay, it's not my sister's, it's that boy named Ji Xiang."

"Jixiang? Jixiang is Mr. Jixiang's book boy! How did you meet them?" Li Qing followed Li Yu, "Today Mr. Jixiang and the two of them went up the mountain to see the autumn scenery! Sister, they encountered a wild beast. Right? Nothing happened?"

Li Yu put down the bamboo pole on his back and said, "Well! I met a hungry wolf. Fortunately, I helped to drive it away. It's just that Jixiang was a little injured. Don't worry, it's not serious."

Li Qing felt relieved and said, "That's good. Fortunately, they met you." Li Qing looked at the blood on Li Yu's body and said, "Sister, you go and wash up first."

Qian came out with hot water and said to Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, go wash up first and come back for dinner."

Li Yu came out of the shower. Qian handed the pickle money and the booklet that Xiao An had taken back from shopkeeper Liu to Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, Xiao An got this from shopkeeper Liu. Send it as you said." I bought a hundred cans and gave them to Shopkeeper Liu. Take a look at what Shopkeeper Liu wrote down."

Li Yu took the brochure, read it correctly, and smiled, "Yes, I went on a wasted trip today. I didn't hunt anything. The chestnuts I picked up also fell down."

Qian laid out the food and said with a smile, "As long as everything is fine, I'll steam the buns and you eat one first. You're tired after running all day."

Li Qing and Xiao An closed the chicken and washed their hands, and everyone started to eat. Qian waited for everyone to finish eating and put away quickly before going home with Xiao An to rest.

Li Yu and Li Qing sat in the yard, burning mugwort to drive away the mosquitoes. The siblings talked and then went to rest separately.

Li Yu went back to his room and counted. There were seventeen gold leaves, more than five taels of broken silver, and the banknote printed on it was two hundred taels from Huitong Bank.

Li Yu put the gold leaves and silver notes into the space, fell on the bed and thought: I thought Ah Qing's husband was an old man, but he didn't expect that he was a trouble. What is the origin of this trouble? He is being hunted down. It seems that Ah Qing has to give it to him. Qing found another academy... Li Yu slowly fell asleep thinking about it.

In the Zhou family, Zhou Jia and Ji Xiang's injuries have been bandaged. Ji Xiang is lying on the bed with a pale face and is unconscious. Zhou Jia sits on the chair in front of the bed and watches Ji Xiang take his pulse. After a while, Zhou Jia breathes a sigh of relief and says Ruyi said: "It's okay, the pulse has stabilized. Remember to give the medicine again at night."

"Yes," Ruyi agreed and looked at Zhou Jia angrily, "Master, that witch made you fail to even pass the provincial examination. She also used your wife's funeral to force you to agree to withdraw from the competition for the head of the family. We all avoided it. The old witch is here and I want to kill them all,"

Zhou Jia said calmly: "The Zhou family has long been a powerful force. She is just afraid that I will take the exam next year and that her son's position will not be guaranteed, so she sent someone here. Also, in my opinion, this is her last kill." Well, if we hadn't met the Li family girl today, I'm afraid Jixiang and I would have died in the mountains. It seems that our lives should not have been taken, but it is a pity that we finally found the medicine."

Ruyi went up to support Zhou Jia, "Master, Miss Li is really a strange person. I said I wanted to thank her, but she said she had already received the gift."

Zhou Jia smiled and said, "When Jixiang woke up, she said that she had taken away all the money from the killer, gave him the bronze medal and the jar, and threw the killer down the mountain stream with his sword."

Ruyi frowned and said: "It's strange. According to the villagers, Miss Li used to be as timid as a mouse when she was submissive to the Zhang family. How come she suddenly becomes so tough and has such skill?"

Zhou Jia pondered for a moment, "Maybe she had some adventure. Besides, thanks to her rescue today, we can visit her again when Jixiang and I are better."

"I know, you have a good rest, I'll go see Ji Xiang."

Zhou Jia waved his hand and Ruyi retreated. Zhou Jia lay on the bed and thought about Li Yu's expression when he rolled his eyes and disliked him, and couldn't help but laugh.

The next day, Li Yu took the pickles to Shunfeng Inn. After handing the pickles to shopkeeper Liu, he took the money and drove the ox cart back.

Not far away, he met Manager Wei. Wei Wencheng looked at Li Yu and said with a smile, "Miss Li, how is business going lately?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "My small business is just to make ends meet. Does Mr. Wei have anything to do with me?"

"I'm looking for Miss Li to buy pickles, and I want to discuss a business deal with you." Wei Wencheng said with a smile.

Li Yu said cheerfully: "Okay! Then please come to my house to talk, okay?"

"Okay." Wei Wencheng turned around and got on the carriage and followed Li Yu to Li's house. Seeing the courtyard door closed, Li Yu thought that Qian might have gone to the wasteland.

Li Yu opened the courtyard door and invited Wei Wencheng and the two people who came with him into his home.

Li Yu brought the small wooden table to the verandah, poured three bowls of boiling water in the pot, and said politely to Wei Wencheng and the two people accompanying him: "Mr. Wei's home is simple. Please sit down and drink water."

"Where, where." Wei Wencheng said politely.

A young man accompanying Wei Wencheng glanced at Li Yu and sat down. Wei Wencheng did not sit down until he sat down.

The man pointed to the sauce jars placed against the courtyard wall and said with a smile, "Are these sauce jars the girl's pickles?"

Li Yu shook his head, "No, those are bean paste, also used for cooking."

The man nodded and stopped talking. Wei Wencheng looked at Li Yu and asked, "Miss Li, do you still have plenty of pickles? I want to buy more this time."

"It's not much, but Mr. Wei, if you buy too much, you won't be able to finish it. The pickles will go bad over time."

Wei Wencheng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there are so many people and we won't be able to eat for a long time."

Li Yu calculated in his mind that there were only thirty jars of meat sauce that weighed 50 kilograms each, and there were fifty jars of cowpeas and kohlrabi that weighed one hundred kilograms. If he canned them by himself, he could at least hold more than eight thousand cans. , if he could buy it all at once, it would save him a lot of effort.

"Mr. Wei, there are enough pickles left at home to hold seven or eight thousand cans! Do you want them all?"

"Yes, it's going to snow soon, these pickles are just in time, Miss Li," Wei Wencheng looked at Li Yu, hesitating on what to say to Li Yu.

Li Yu looked at him and was not in a hurry. Wei Wencheng hesitated and decided to tell the truth, "Miss Li, to tell you the truth, we have tried making your pickles several times, but the taste has always been a bit worse. The most important thing is, The pickles don’t last as long as yours, we want to buy your recipe, are you willing to sell it?”

After hearing this, Li Yu knew that they might not have included white wine and sugar, but people could figure it out over time. If the price was right, it wouldn't be a bad idea to sell it.

"Mr. Wei, how much money do you plan to give me to buy the house?"

Wei Wencheng raised a finger and said, "One thousand taels, after you sell it to us, you can continue to sell it in Qingshui Town, but you have to promise not to sell it to anyone else."

"Since I promised to sell it to you, I will not do that kind of dishonest thing. One thousand, five hundred taels, I will promise to sell it to you. Since you have tried it, you should know the profit. If I have someone, no need You can earn a few thousand, five hundred taels a year." Li Yu said calmly.

Wei Wencheng glanced at the man accompanying him, and after seeing the man nod his head, he responded with a smile: "Okay, just one thousand five hundred taels. Miss Li, do you want a banknote or cash?"

Li Yu thought to himself: I have to go to Qingshan City to exchange the banknotes. Silver is better. Anyway, I don’t have to worry about storing more money if I have space.

"Cash money? It looks pleasant."

"Okay, Miss Li is such a cheerful person," Wei Wencheng turned to the guard standing aside and said, "Ah Sheng, go get the silver."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper." Ah Sheng took two wooden boxes, one large and one small, from the carriage and placed them at Mr. Wei's feet, "Sir, silver."
