There's no shortage of food at home now. When the kids grow up and are harvested, we'll exchange everything for gold coins.
Only by accumulating gold coins can you upgrade, and only by upgrading can you unlock more benefits.
What we should really care about are not these cabbages, but the valuable species.
With the addition of piglets to the household, the task of finding pig feed was assigned according to the kitchen staff's shift schedule.
Whoever is in charge of cooking is also in charge of finding pig feed.
Early the next morning, Dayong came in from outside, carrying a two-month-old puppy that looked a bit like a wolf.
"The Wang family's female dog had a litter of puppies with a wolf from the mountain. I thought we should have a dog to guard the house, so I brought this one, which is the best-looking and fiercest. Grandpa and Grandma, do you think it's okay? If not, I'll take it back."
Grandpa Qiao walked over, picked up the puppy, looked at its paws and teeth, and nodded: "It will grow big and have sharp teeth when it grows up. We can keep it. How much does the Wang family want?"
"The Wang family said it would be a small token, eight or ten coins would be fine." Da Yong scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I didn't bring any money with me, I'll send it to the Wang family right now."
Grandma Qiao would give each of her grandchildren some pocket money. Just as Dayong was about to go into his room, Grandma Qiao called him back.
“Such a good puppy, if you give him eight or ten coins, it makes us look stingy and like we’re trying to take advantage of him.”
“I think this puppy is worth three hundred coins. Take three hundred coins.”
As she spoke, Old Lady Qiao went into the house, then came out and handed three hundred coins to Dayong.
"Milk, this is too much." Da Yong felt a little distressed.
"Give only what it's worth. Remember, don't try to take advantage of your neighbors or those around you. Every penny you take is a loss, and you'll have trouble seeing them again later. Sometimes it's okay to give a little more." Old Mrs. Qiao has lived for decades, and these are her summaries of experience.
When we went to the Song family to bring Qiao Yunni back last time, so many villagers spoke up for the Qiao family, not only because Qiao Yunni herself did nothing wrong, but also because of the good character the Qiao family had built up over the years.
Da Yong said nothing more, took the money, and strode out the door.
Qiao Laosan and Lü Shi were making pancakes in the kitchen. They used fine flour to make meat pancakes, and then sprinkled them with chopped green onions. They smelled incredibly delicious. Each pancake was half a finger thick and as big as a plate.
Being able to eat such a pancake was something the Qiao family never dared to dream of before.
Everyone ate two, and there were still half left, so we packed them up and took them up the mountain to make lunch.
Mrs. Lü cooked another bowl of porridge, sprinkled some scraps of fatty meat on top, and added oil and salt. Old Mrs. Qiao picked out a large, chipped bowl to use as a dog bowl, poured the porridge into it, and the puppy wagged its tail and came over, burying its head in the bowl and munching away.
Seeing the puppy, which was smaller than a bowl, wagging its tail and pushing against its front paws as it ate with gusto, everyone found it particularly amusing.
"By the way, Sister Lian'er, why don't you give the puppy a name?" Da Meng said.
Qiao Lian'er thought for a moment and said, "Gou Lai Fu means good fortune. I hope our Qiao family will have a smooth and prosperous life. Let's call it Da Shun (meaning 'Great Fortune')."
“Da Shun, that’s a nice name, and it’s easy to pronounce.” Zhizhi nodded.
Everyone agreed.
After everyone had eaten, they went back to their work—some to the fields, some to the mountains, and some to the town.
It was still Qiao Lian'er and his two older brothers, Da Cheng and Da Yong, who went to sell the mushrooms. However, when they arrived at the intersection, they saw figures moving in front of them. Song Lao Da, Song Lao Er, and Da Ming and Xiao Ming walked over from both sides of the road and stopped them.
