“That’s more like it!” Niu Baolan said in a condescending tone.

From a certain spot on the back mountain, one can see the Chen family's house. Since Chen family gained some benefits, they have become increasingly unruly.

The two sons and daughters-in-law also quit their jobs and stayed at home to work.

Little Fu Bao carefully dug through other people's graves, searching through nearly a dozen, until she finally found something useful.

"Third sister, third sister, look, isn't this the blood-red lingzhi that eldest sister drew in her book?" Little Fu Bao asked.

"Another blood lingzhi?" Niu Baozhu watched Niu Cuihua read aloud and saw the blood lingzhi. She had heard Niu Cuihua mention that her father had also picked blood lingzhi before.

They made five or six hundred strings of cash, which was their family's capital for doing business. Otherwise, with the heavy taxes they paid every year, they probably would never have become rich in their lifetime.

“It should be Blood Spirit Mushroom. Let’s give it to Father and Mother!” Niu Baozhu said.

Little Fu Bao shook her head like a rattle-drum, "No, no, no, I want to secretly make a fortune and then amaze everyone! You're not allowed to tell anyone!"

"Little Fu Bao, Little Fu Bao, smell this! What smells so bad?" Niu Bao Lan called out from a meter away.

Xiao Fubao and Niu Baozhu went over to them.

However, the little girl was too short, only Niu Baozhu was taller. She stood on tiptoe and saw Chen Shi and her sons and daughters-in-law doing something.

Little Chen's voice was rather loud: "Mom, why does it smell so bad? Can this even be sold?"

Chen's second son said, "What's there to be afraid of? Stinky tofu is just as smelly, and so many people love to eat it! Anyway, it's not something we'll eat ourselves, so we'll just leave it outside to dry!"

These words reached the ears of the three little girls, making them even more curious. Little Fu Bao whispered:

"Third sister, we can hear them talking, can they hear us talking too?"

Niu Baozhu whispered, "That's not necessarily true. We don't speak loudly, but it's still better to keep it even quieter."

Little Fu Bao whispered:

"Third sister, carry me up there and let me take a look!"

Niu Baozhu was a few years older than her two younger sisters, so she squatted down and let Xiao Fubao climb on top of her. Niu Baolan was unhappy about this.

"Third sister, I want to see too!"

Niu Baozhu retorted mercilessly, "You're too heavy!"

Niu Baolan's heart was a little hurt.

Niu Baozhu whispered, "Did you see that? What are they doing? Are they messing with the latrine?"

Little Fu Bao climbed off Niu Bao Zhu and said, "I saw it! They're making pickled vegetables!"

“It smells so bad, would anyone buy it?” Niu Baozhu asked.

Xiao Fubao shook her head. "They've rummaged through several large vats. They're bound to have problems eating it. If their pickled vegetables cause problems, our pickled vegetables' reputation will be ruined too."

“The people’s eyes are discerning, and they all have a scale in their hearts!” Niu Baozhu said in a mature tone.

"I don't want to look anymore, I don't want to look anymore, it stinks!" Little Fu Bao shook her cute little head. "Let's take the Ganoderma lucidum and sell it!"

“Aren’t we going to tell Daddy and Mommy? We can’t hide it from them!” Niu Baozhu said.

"Shh, let's sell the Ganoderma lucidum and get some grouper fry to raise in the back room. Then we'll tell Daddy and Mommy, otherwise they'll think we're too young and worry about us."

Grouper fry are not easy to get.

That's a valuable item.

Carp are expensive, yet they sell quite well.

However, grouper is expensive and unavailable in the market. But it's not that no one raises them. There is a family in Jiangzhou County that raises grouper specifically for wealthy merchants and high-ranking officials.

Little Fu Bao wants to buy his family's grouper.

Buy live ones, raise the larger ones yourself.

They were all children, and buying them would not attract attention. Even if their intentions were exposed, they would not arouse jealousy.

The three little sisters, Fu Bao and her brother, secretly ran away on their little horses, carrying the blood spirit mushroom. However, these three little girls were not tall, and the blood spirit mushroom they were carrying was large, and no one could see them.

It was impossible to hide it from Niu Da and Shen Yu.

Niu Da was unsure what the three children were thinking, so he said to Xiao Heng, "Hitch the horse at home onto the cart and go take a look."

The carriage was too heavy and too conspicuous.

The handcart is light and easy to maneuver.

“Okay, godfather.” When Xiao Heng followed, the three little girls had already left Niushan Village.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Heng asked.

When Xiao Fubao saw that it was Xiao Heng, she reached out and let Xiao Heng pick her up, saying, "Why are you here?" She thought that her father might know, and she felt a little disappointed.

"We were planning to sell the blood-red Ganoderma we dug up and then buy seven or eight grouper to raise, but you guys found out."

Little Fu Bao pouted.

Xiao Heng patted Xiao Fubao's head and laughed, "You're so clever for your age! Aren't you afraid of being tricked? Do you even know how to choose a good grouper?"

Little Fu Bao had only ever seen pictures of grouper in her older sister's miscellaneous books.

“Your godfather won’t forbid you from raising fish! Besides, you definitely won’t sell this Blood Spirit Mushroom to anyone else, you’ll definitely sell it to your aunt’s husband, and your aunt’s husband will tell your father then, won’t he?” Xiao Heng said.

As he spoke, he drove the carriage, carrying one horse and three people, and sold the Blood Lingzhi to Xue Huaimin, receiving 620 strings of cash. Xue Huaimin then issued them a silver note for 600 strings of cash.

Then they went to the Zheng family, who sold grouper, to buy some. Their family didn't have much of a relationship with the Zheng family, and their restaurant wasn't open yet.

When the head of the Deng family heard that someone wanted to buy thirty groupers, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but seeing that it was just a few children, he didn't think much of it.

"These kids came to buy things and just to amuse you. Is it really worth calling me here in person?" Old Madam Deng scolded the housekeeper reproachfully.

“We are the owners of the land next to yours, and we are very interested in buying the grouper!” Xiao Fubao said, taking out the silver notes.

When Madam Deng saw Xiao Fu Bao take out a six hundred tael silver note, she was quite surprised. It wasn't that she had never seen a six hundred tael silver note before, but rather that the person opposite her was a child.

"Why are you buying grouper?" asked the old lady of the Deng family.

"Our family plans to build a commercial street and open a restaurant on the east side, so we plan to buy thirty of these and try selling them in our restaurant."

In reality, her family only owned two grain shops and one fruit shop; Weixiangzhai had been converted into a fruit shop for many years.

“If you sell it to my family, my restaurant can do business with the Deng family for a long time,” Xiao Heng said.

What he said is true.

Even if Xiao Fubao bought thirty grouper fry, it would take at least ten years to raise enough for a restaurant to feed year-round.

At that time, the Niu family will definitely open a second restaurant.

The old lady of the Deng family gave her a slightly cold look. She had seen plenty of people who made empty promises to her.

"Not for sale!"

Little Fu Bao grabbed Xiao Heng and started to leave: "If you don't want to sell, then don't sell!"

She put away the banknotes and left.

Madam Deng was somewhat taken aback. They were leaving already?

Kids will always be kids.

She stared blankly at the twenty miles to the east for a moment, then angrily rebuked the steward, "Does someone like that deserve to be called by me?" She stormed back into the house.
