Xie Yunshu's actions made Ye Zhen, who was telling a story, pause inexplicably, and turned to look at his leaving figure.

"Xiao Yi, just sleep by yourself. I'll go see what's wrong with him."

Although it is estimated that it is not yet nine o'clock in the evening modern time, it is already very late for the current era.

Xie Yunshu suddenly went out alone in the middle of the night, and Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel worried.

The other party's leg is not healed yet, so don't bump into it again.

Zhao Yi, who was huddled in the back of the bed, nodded his head and snorted obediently.

After touching his head to express comfort, Ye Zhen got up, put on some clothes and walked out the door.

Although it is located in the south, it is still more exposed at night.

As soon as she walked out of the back room, she saw Xie Yunshu pouring water.

"Are you thirsty?"

Ye Zhen asked a little puzzledly, and moved closer, and at a glance she could see the red ears of the other party.

The candle on the table had just been lit by Xie Yunshu, and the dim light shone on his face, making his usually very serious face soften a lot.

Xie Yunshu, who had just finished drinking a few mouthfuls of cold water, finally felt calm:...

Good guy, the anger that had just been suppressed suddenly came back up again.

However, Ye Zhen didn't notice the complicated look on Xie Yunshu's face at all. She reached out her hand with concern and lightly touched the other person's forehead with the back of her hand.

"You don't have a fever, why is your face so red?"

She was talking to herself, and also thought for a moment, should she exchange some antipyretic medicine for the other party?

For common medicines that are essential for household use, the price of the system is quite reasonable. It only has a few dozen merit points, and Ye Zhen can definitely afford it.

But Xie Yunshu's expression changed on the side, and he replied to her in a hoarse voice:

"I'm fine, I'm just a little... thirsty."

He originally wanted to say it was hot, but in the middle of the night, the temperature in the room was quite low, so he couldn't say it.

After probing the other person's forehead again and confirming that the other person did not have a fever, Ye Zhen gave up the idea of ​​exchanging antipyretic medicine.

"You're in such good health, you're still sweating in such a cold temperature!"

Muttering something under her breath, she wrapped her clothes tightly around her body and turned around to go back to the back room.

Little did they know that Xie Yunshu's current experience happened exactly by her own hands.

But how did Xie Yunshu, an ancient man, know that eel would have such a "big" effect? ​​He had an extremely hard night.

I didn't even dare to go back to the back room.

When Ye Zhen got up early in the morning, she found Xie Yunshu already sitting at the door.

After his legs were crippled, Xie Yunshu had no skills but no room to display them.

However, he continued to practice daily breathing and self-cultivation. This was more practical than Ye Zhen's statement that he would cure himself after leading everyone to get rich.

Glancing at Xie Yunshu who was concentrating with his eyes closed, Ye Zhen did not disturb him, but walked towards the kitchen.

Breakfast for a family of three is a meal of noodles filled with the aroma of meat.

After eating steamed buns, Ye Zhen couldn't stand it at first. Fortunately, there was leftover soup base from yesterday's braised eel, so she didn't waste it and made noodles.

The delicious soup was poured on the noodles, making the three of them have a hearty meal. Even Xie Yunshu ate half a bowl more.

When Ye Zhen was about to go out to eat, she opened the door and saw several women piled outside.

"Mrs. Xie, you're up."

Someone immediately spoke, but with a meaningful smile on his face.

Seeing the winking looks of this large group of people, Ye Zhen was a little confused, but she kept moving her hands and subconsciously moved people to the yard.

"You guys...have you been here a long time? Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"No, no, no, we just arrived."

Before she could finish her words, a woman immediately responded.

But looking at the bamboo baskets placed by these people, Ye Zhen didn't believe what they said.

But she didn't expose it, and still had a smile on her face.

"Have you all eaten? If not, I'll cook you some noodles."

The women quickly waved their hands and admitted that they had eaten. Then they bent down to pick up the bamboo baskets and carried them into the yard.

As soon as everyone entered the courtyard, Ye Zhen found that the two people, one large and one small, who were still sitting at the door, had disappeared.

She couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect that a dignified Sanyuan could be so afraid of women.

However, when this scene fell into the eyes of the women, it had a different meaning. They secretly looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles.

After returning yesterday, they saw the power of this eel!

Thinking back to Xie Yunshu, the young couple, don't these people have other thoughts in their hearts?

"Are these the eels and snails you caught?"

Seeing what was inside the bamboo basket, Ye Zhen leaned her head over and fiddled with the eel that was still alive and kicking inside.

"Yes! These are all our bosses, we caught them as soon as possible!"

At this time, there were seven or eight women gathered in the room. They were all people who had heard Ye Zhen's mobilization meeting yesterday. They had all rushed over to wait.

After a round of inspection, there were seven or eight bamboo baskets gathered together on the ground, the least weighing three or four kilograms, and the most weighing more than ten kilograms.

These added up to almost a hundred kilograms, and Ye Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

She also thought about buying some first so that these villagers could see the business opportunities and then start breeding them with conviction.

As a result, the other party directly gained nearly a hundred kilograms!

She can't afford this money at the moment.

Thinking like this, Ye Zhen also told the truth to the women.

"I originally wanted to pay for the acquisition, but now it seems that the money on hand is still not enough."

After saying this, she also showed a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

However, the women didn't care and waved their hands to comfort Ye Zhen.

“Mrs.

"Yes, yes, just think of it as a little bit of thought from us."

The women were chattering away, their faces full of kindness. They had no intention of taking money from Ye Zhen in the first place.

In previous years, they not only had to work hard to catch these eels and snails, but they also had to find ways to destroy them. How could they have imagined that they could be made into such delicious dishes?

Ye Zhen, who was surrounded in the middle, although her mind was buzzing, was still quite grateful in her heart.

"Everyone! Although I am very grateful for your trust in me, I still have to give you due reward. Although I don't have enough money now, I will definitely be able to make up for it after I set up the stall."

After that, regardless of other people's obstruction, he went into the house to look for someone.

As soon as she saw Xie Yunshu sitting in the back room, she quickly put on a flattering smile and walked over.

"Um...can I ask you a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

Xie Yunshu raised his eyebrows as he rarely saw Ye Zhen like this. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Help me record the weight of these eels and snails. When we make money, we still have to give them the price."

Pointing to the bamboo baskets stacked in the yard, Ye Zhen looked very serious.

Seeing the group of chattering women, Xie Yunshu couldn't help but frown, and after a while he nodded slightly.

Seeing that he agreed, Ye Zhen quickly took out a pen and paper from the back room and handed it to him.

Speaking of which, these things are considered rare items in such a remote barbaric land.

This was given by people outside, so it can be considered a good use.

Almost every household has weighing tools, but Ye Zhen and her party have just arrived and haven't purchased any more yet.

Seeing that she insisted on recording it, the women had no choice but to ask the one who lived nearest to go back and get the scale.

After recording the information of each household, it was already noon.

Ye Zhen originally wanted to stay with the women for lunch, but they all refused. After all, the men from each family were still working in the fields!

They ate here, what should the boss do?

Everyone hurriedly went home to cook, but Ye Zhen hadn't stopped busy yet.

The bamboo baskets brought by the women contained mostly snails and relatively few eels.

Ye Zhen thought for a while, then went back to the house and took out the spices she had picked up earlier. Fortunately, the system's gift pack was quite reliable, and each spice was of sufficient quantity.

After washing the snails, she quickly made a pot of spicy fried snails and a stewed eel, lest Xie Yunshu or Zhao Yi couldn't eat spicy food.

After eating, Ye Zhen was shocked by the result.

After Xie Yunshu took two bites of the snails, his expression changed and he never stretched out his chopsticks again.

On the contrary, the young Zhao Yi stood beside him, his face was red, and he was eating snails hard, sweating profusely.

It was Ye Zhen who stopped him and stopped him from eating too much. After all, there was a lot of cooking wine in the spicy fried snails, so it was not suitable for children to eat too much.

"This...is so delicious!"

Zhao Yi stuck out his tongue, but still couldn't help but praise.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen smiled and touched his head and warned:

"You are still young, don't eat too much."

At this time, Xie Yunshu, who was standing aside, was very distressed. Why did he smell so fragrant but so spicy that he couldn't control it at all?

Ye Zhen doesn't care about this. After all, everyone's body is different. Some people can eat spicy food, while others can't.

After lunch, Ye Zhen led the whole family and started to process all the eels and snails.

The eels are not bad. They have to be killed and cooked to be delicious. They just need to get some water and keep them in a bucket.

The snails need to be cleaned carefully, otherwise there will be sand. This is very simple.

The three of them sat in the yard and washed the snails seriously all afternoon.

Occasionally, when people pass by, they feel like a family of three.

After packing everything up, Ye Zhen went out to Aunt Huang's house.

"Here we come."

Seeing Ye Zhen's figure, Aunt Huang hurriedly put down her work and went to meet her.

Ye Zhen nodded slightly and handed the plate of spicy fried escargots in her hand to the other party with a smile on her face.

"This is spicy stir-fried field snail. Use a bamboo skewer to pick out the meat inside and eat it."

She first taught the other party how to eat snails, and then got down to business.

Ye Zhen's idea was to go to the county town and set up a stall to sell braised eel and spicy fried field snails to test the waters first.

Generally speaking, people who sell this kind of food have to rent a separate shop, and few people set up stalls.

But now, she has so little money that she can't even think about renting a shop, so setting up a stall is more convenient and saves money.

One of Aunt Huang's nephews also set up a stall in the county town. He sold embroidery items such as handkerchiefs and fans.

Most of the women in this village were originally ladies, so of course they were embroiderers. They usually embroidered some things and sold them in their spare time, which was considered as a subsidy for the family.

Aunt Huang also heard that Ye Zhen wanted to go to the county town to set up a stall, so she took the initiative to invite her nephew to take her.

Today we just want to meet each other first, and we have to go together early tomorrow.

This village is located in a remote area, a few miles away from the county seat. Fortunately, there is an ox cart in the village, which can transport them.

Ye Zhen politely greeted Aunt Huang's nephew, made an appointment with him, and went back.

"What a shame! I didn't expect Mrs. Xie to be like this."

The dark-faced young man sighed and sighed as he watched Ye Zhen leave.
