The entire Chi family, young and old, secretly went up the mountain.

The eldest brother, Chi Shuxing, led the way.

Actions will be taken in batches.

Some dug up Artemisia capillaris, some bagged it, some gathered firewood to cover it up, some transported it, and some secretly hid it at home.

In summary, the division of labor is clear.

Only An'an was left at home, watching over Silang, Wulang, and Chitang.

But An'an was already sitting on the ground, using sand she had dug up from outside to turn her two younger brothers into little mud dolls.

She clearly said at the beginning that she would teach her two younger brothers to read!

Chi Tang sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking quite helpless.

She took a bottle of milk from the small courtyard and drank it herself.

The Chi family spent two hours in this commotion.

We also encountered villagers along the way.

However, when the villagers saw that it was all firewood, they didn't ask any questions.

"What a pleasant surprise! These pheasants are like they've gone mad, just fluttering around in front of my feet! Hahaha."

Chi Sanhe laughed heartily, which was quite unseemly.

Two pheasants were tied with hemp rope and hung around his neck, and then he held three pheasants in each hand.

Villagers gathered to watch.

"Chi Sanhe, where did you catch this pheasant? How could there be pheasants on the mountain?"

During famine years, anything edible on the mountain had long been hunted down by everyone.

Chi Sanhe tossed the pheasant into his empty chicken coop and shook his hand, saying, "I don't know. Ouch, my hand is so sore."

"You have no idea how difficult it was for me to catch three pheasants with one hand, and they were so fat!"

Firstbiood!

It's not easy for you, my ass!

The villagers almost cursed.

Regarding Versailles, Chi Sanhe is even more knowledgeable than his father.

"What's so amazing about that? If it weren't for Tangtang's good fortune, do you think you could have caught so many pheasants?"

The villagers were furious and couldn't help but retort.

How can a lazy person have a sense of superiority?

Chi Sanhe, that simpleton, actually nodded in agreement: "You're right, my Tangtang is so lucky. It's just a pity that your father is already sixty, right? I'm afraid he won't be able to give you a little sister."

Doublekill!

"Even if she were to give birth, she probably wouldn't be as fortunate as my Tangtang."

TribleKill!

The villagers were so angry they almost vomited blood!

They all stormed off in anger.

Some people rushed up the mountain to see if they could still get lucky.

"Ouch! Why did you kick me?" Chi Sanhe felt a kick on his buttocks, turned around and saw it was Xiao Zhou Shi, and immediately became unhappy.

Third Sister-in-law Chi cursed, "Are you an idiot? Catching a pheasant is your skill, why is everyone praising Chi Tang? What merit could a little girl like her have?"

And this idiot actually agreed with what others said!

I'm home!

"Watch your mouth!"

Despite Chi Sanhe's laziness and gluttony, he almost never swears.

He also finds it extremely offensive to curse.

Perhaps it's because of the trauma left by my grandmother, Zhou, when I was a child.

Chi San's sister-in-law was so angry that her liver hurt.

Chi Sanhe retorted, "That's true. Before I had my sister, how many times did you see me catch a pheasant?"

Sister-in-law Chi gritted her teeth in anger, turned around, and wiggled her hips as she went back to her room.

She's so angry!

As a result, inside the house, I saw that An'an had turned Shiro and Goro into mud dolls, which made me so angry that I spanked An'an until her bottom was swollen!

Because of the pheasant incident, everyone overlooked the fact that the Chi family had brought a lot of firewood home.

Then, at the crack of dawn the next day, Chi Dashan and Chi Sanhe got up, pushing a flatbed cart full of gloomy pheasants and two wild chickens, intending to sell them.

Aunt Chi planned to keep the remaining six pheasants for her own family to eat.

Now that she had a little money, Aunt Chi wanted to treat her children and grandchildren.

When the two brothers arrived in the county town, the city gates were not yet open, and they waited quite a while before they opened.

The two went straight to the pharmacy.

"Artemisia capillaris? It's processed well, but I don't need this much... This Artemisia capillaris needs to be dried in time, otherwise it will spoil..."

The other party talked on and on for a long time, their purpose being to bargain.

“…How about this, I can take your whole truckload, but the price will have to be a bit lower.”

Chi Dashan patiently asked, "How much?"

"Three coins a pound."

Chi Dashan smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have taken up your time, young man. Let's go ask somewhere else."

Dr. Li said that dried Artemisia capillaris costs 18 coins per pound.

However, there are specific techniques to drying the food. Firstly, they lack experience, and secondly, they are worried about being discovered. It's better to sell fresh food, which will be cheaper, but the weight is also heavier than dried food, so the price difference isn't that much.

This guy asks for three coins right off the bat. Does he think they're idiots?

"Have you thought this through? My family's pharmacy has the largest volume of business in town. If you..."

"I'll pay ten coins a pound, why don't you sell it to me?"

Manager Wang walked over with a smile.

The other person's expression changed: "Why is Mr. Wang buying medicinal herbs instead of running his cloth shop properly?"

Manager Wang is the same manager of Wang's Cloth Shop from that day!

"There's no need for Manager Li to worry about that. Although I don't sell medicinal herbs, I'm going to the city government to buy some later, so I can sell them there."

"you!"

Chi Dashan and Chi Sanhe exchanged a glance and decided that ten coins would be fine, so they readily agreed.

Neither of them interrupted, letting the two bosses argue.

After everything was finished, they followed Manager Wang to the backyard of Wang's Cloth Shop.

"...If you go to the city government to sell them yourselves, you should be able to get twelve coins per catty." Manager Wang actually made his point clear.
