Zhu Xiaoping, who was peeping from next door, heard Li Juan's words and her eyes turned bloodshot with jealousy!

They wished they could rush over and snatch the money for themselves!

Why does Su Yan earn so much? Why is all this money hers? She's an ill-mannered girl who instigated her parents' divorce, how can she earn money?

Zhu Xiaoping gritted her teeth, her jealousy and hatred towards Su Yan deepening.

She remembered that bowl of swill from earlier; she was determined to take over all of Su Yan's business, or she wouldn't be able to swallow this insult!

Su Yan had no idea what Zhu Xiaoping was thinking about her, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.

She is now considering taking control of the family finances.

Li Juan refused to accept the money she earned at Baicaotang, so she kept it all by herself.

However, she felt that the income from the stall should be kept by her mother.

As expected, when she raised this question, Li Juan's first reaction was to refuse.

“Ayan, I feel uneasy carrying so much money around. You’re smart, it’s safer for you to keep it,” Li Juan said.

Su Yan shook her head and said, "Mom, we can't leave so much money at home or carry it with us. Let's go to the bank, open a savings account, and deposit the money in it. We'll set aside two hundred yuan every day as operating costs, so we won't lose it."

Without giving Li Juan a chance to speak, she continued, "Besides, the money from setting up a stall is too loose, and I don't like carrying it around. Maybe I don't care about this small amount of money, but I don't even know how much I've lost."

Upon hearing this, Li Juan stopped complaining and scolded, "You silly girl, how come you don't even know how to cherish money?"

She knew her daughter was telling the truth, so she said, "Alright then, I'll keep the money from the stall. If you need it, I'll take it out. But you'll have to keep the money you earn from Baicaotang yourself."

Su Yan responded.

If she could find a thousand-year-old ginseng, she would ask for 15,000 to 20,000 yuan; she wouldn't sell it for less than 15,000 yuan.

Ginseng that is over a thousand years old has become a spirit. The price of 15,000 is low for her, but expensive for this era. If it were in later generations, she could sell it for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Hopefully, Wei Wu can help her out, otherwise she won't even bother with ginseng anymore.

After dinner, Grandma Li, Li Juan, and Su Lei were washing the duck parts.

When it was time to close up shop, Su Yan went to several places and bought back all the duck products from those places.

There are a total of 80 catties of duck products, 20 catties of pig intestines, 20 catties of vegetables, and 10 catties of pork belly.

Su Yan didn't participate because she was wrapping zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and she planned to go up the mountain in the afternoon.

She wasn't sure she could find the thousand-year-old ginseng this time, so she would have to make several more trips to try.

"Ayan, we've brought back so much today, won't we be able to sell it all tomorrow?" Li Juan asked worriedly.

We sold out six buckets today. These weigh over 100 pounds, so we'll need to fill ten buckets, right? And there's also medicinal porridge.

Without even looking up, Su Yan replied, "Mom, do you think we'll sell out today given how busy business is? Don't worry, there will definitely be people who can't buy any tomorrow."

Seeing her daughter so calm made Li Juan feel a little more at ease.

She was worried that since so many people had already eaten it today, they probably wouldn't eat it again tomorrow, since this stuff is so expensive.

Su Yan was so confident because she believed that her skills would make people linger.

Secondly, her "Su's Braised Food" has become very famous. People who have bought it today will definitely mention it to those who haven't, and those who haven't will definitely come to try it.

Moreover, after eating the braised food, there will be a long-lasting, faint medicinal aroma, and people who smell it will definitely ask about it.

There's absolutely no need to worry about business.

At any time, the taste of food is the key to capturing everyone's taste buds.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yan still mentioned to Li Juan, "Mom, I'll go up the mountain this afternoon, but I'll just stay at the foot of the mountain and definitely won't go deep into the mountains, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Li Juan frowned deeply and earnestly advised, "Ayan, our braised food business is already doing so well, you don't need to go up the mountain anymore. You can still make a lot of money selling braised food, why take that risk?"

"Mom, Manager Tang needs a certain medicinal herb. He spent a long time grinding it, and I only agreed because I felt sorry for him." Su Yan said with a look of her own headache, "Friends should help each other, right? He has helped me a lot, and I felt bad refusing him."

Tang Li, who was working at his desk, suddenly yawned, rubbed his nose, and wondered who was chirping him from behind.

Li Juan: "..." Daughter, that's not what you said when you were cursing the villagers!

Having no other choice but to compromise back then, she could only repeatedly instruct: "You can only stay at the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain, not in the deep mountains. If you can't find it, that's fine, understand?"

Su Yan nodded quickly.

Sigh, I managed to fool them.

Grandma Li glanced at her granddaughter's relieved smile, then looked at the naive and easily deceived Li Juan, and really couldn't understand how she could have given birth to such a cunning little fox.

She wrapped a total of eighty zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and after simmering them over a wood fire for five hours, Su Yan carried fifty of them up the mountain.

There were still many messy footprints at the foot of the mountain today. She guessed that Li Dajun and his group had gone up the mountain, but the direction of the footprints was different from the direction she usually walked.

Su Yan frowned. She had already clearly told them several directions, so how could they still go the wrong way?

Forget it, whatever they do, she can't be blamed if something happens.

Su Yan went to her usual spot and shouted "Wow!" but after waiting for several minutes, there was still no response.

She called out a few more times, not loudly, but Wei Wu nearby would definitely hear her.

Still no movement.

"They probably went to find something to eat."

After muttering to herself, Su Yan decided to go and look for Wei Wu's resting place.

Weiwu's usual resting place wasn't far from her usual spot; she arrived in just a few minutes' walk.

The weeds at the entrance of the cave were trampled flat, and Weiwu even dug several deep pits specifically for storing his usual prey.

Several deep pits contained prey that were still alive and kicking. Su Yan walked into the cave and called out, but Wu Hu still did not respond.

Su Yan put down the basket, feeling a little depressed.

The hunting range of Weiwu is limited to this area, so it shouldn't have gone far. Could it be... that it encountered danger?

Just as she was agonizing over this possibility, a tiger's roar, filled with grievance and anger, suddenly rang out from beside her.

Before Su Yan could react, she was tackled to the ground by a huge creature that pounced on her with the speed of a whirlwind.

"Awoo~ Roar!"

Weiwu stuck out his big tongue and kept licking Su Yan's face.

Su Yan rolled her eyes, almost fainting from its stench.

She quickly covered her face, urgently saying, "Stop! Stop!"

Wei Wu then reluctantly stopped.

Freed from her grasp, Su Yan immediately scrambled to her feet and wiped her face, exclaiming in despair, "Weiwu, do you know how stinky your breath is? From now on, please, please go to the river and rinse your mouth after eating! Oh my god! What happened to your foot?!"
