Ye Caiping kept one box of each for herself, and gave each of Ye Lizheng's four families two boxes of pastries and two strips of cured meat.

Ye Lizheng and Wang Shuantou and the others did not refuse and left with smiles.

After they left, Ye Caiping brought two baskets, putting two boxes of pastries in each and two ginseng roots in each basket.

First, the Ye family was mentioned.

Mrs. Du was hanging out the laundry when she saw her and smiled, "Little sister, what brings you here?"

Ye Caiping placed a basket in her hand: "This time, my imprisonment is because of me, and I have dragged everyone down with me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're family, talking about this would make us feel distant." Madam Du smiled as she took the basket, initially thinking it contained brown sugar and eggs. But when she saw the ginseng, she exclaimed, "Ginseng? Such a precious thing, we can't accept it."

“Sister-in-law said this is a separate matter,” Ye Caiping replied, smiling. “This ginseng isn’t worth much. Sister-in-law, you should give the family more nourishing food recently.”

Mrs. Du was happy, but also a little hesitant to accept it. In the end, she took it: "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Have you discussed delivery business? It's been so long, are they still willing to order goods?"

"It's settled, everyone's willing. Oh, Yong'er took the cow out to graze, we'll bring it back to your house tonight."

"That's good. I'll go to my second brother's house first."

After saying goodbye, Ye Caiping went to Ye Erquan's house.

Upon entering, I saw Madam Wei chopping pig feed: "Second sister-in-law, where is second brother?"

"I've found Sanquan and Tieniu." He said this without stopping his hands.

Ye Caiping handed over the basket and said the same thing.

Originally, Mrs. Wei harbored some resentment towards Ye Caiping for causing their imprisonment, but now, upon seeing the ginseng in the basket, all her resentment vanished, and she was overjoyed, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"This is ginseng? I've never seen a whole ginseng before! And there are two of them!"

"This is for you two brothers and sisters-in-law to nourish your health."

"Okay, okay, thank you, little sister."

Ye Caiping smiled, chatted for a few words, and then turned and left.

Ms. Wei excitedly returned to her room, placed the pastries on the dining table in the main room, thought for a moment, and then locked both ginseng roots in the cabinet.

One is enough for nourishing the body; the rest can be sold! Maybe you can get two or three hundred taels of silver!

...

After Ye Caiping left, Shen Zhiyan wrote a letter.

He handed it to Duanwu and said, "Send it out!"

Duanwu took the letter, but before he could turn around, Shen Manman ran in: "Wait, I have a letter here too, let's deliver it together."

Shen Zhiyan chuckled: "What are you chatting about with your grandmother again? Why do you have so many words to say?"

"Mind your own business!" Shen Manman pinched her waist and handed a stack of letters to Duanwu: "Go on!"

Duanwu chuckled and said, "Miss, with this stack of letters, even the carrier pigeons are going to crash."

"Then send out a few more."
