After he finished distributing the silver, he took out his share, covered the remaining silver, and piled it aside. He watched from the side. Then it was Li Nan's turn. He started with the clothing workshop.
Although the clothing workshops didn't earn as much as the skincare workshops, they still made a considerable amount. After he finished speaking, he continued to speak with Lin Wenqing. By the time all the money from the workshops had been distributed, it was already late at night.
Lin Wenyi and the Jinan brothers were asked to move the silver to their house. After they left, An Shuyi and Xia Hua began to distribute their silver. Over the next few months, the two of them received 420,000 taels of silver.
The best-selling items are Xuan paper and skincare products, followed by spirits. Although they haven't been on the market for long, they're very popular. Perhaps when the money is distributed next time, they'll be able to catch up with the money from Xuan paper.
Now, the Xuan paper is no longer 500 small sheets and 100 large sheets, but 200 large sheets, and it is produced every two days. If it were up to her, she would not increase the amount of Xuan paper for at least one or two years, but Li Shou, the owner of Baomozhai, is too annoying.
Even though they didn't see each other often, he frequently instructed the shop assistant to ask him every day when he came in, which was so annoying that she changed it to two hundred large bills and one thousand small bills every day.
They took out the large barrel from the warehouse that held the silver. The 100,000 taels of gold ingots remained untouched, and there were 210,000 taels of silver. They poured in 420,000 taels, filling the barrel instantly, and there was still quite a bit left.
She put the already full bucket in, took out another large bucket, poured all the remaining silver into it, and then put the large bucket into the warehouse. She now had 630,000 taels of silver. She had used up most of her silver notes in the capital, leaving only 13,000 taels.
After dividing the silver, the two went back to their room to sleep. The next morning, the weather was exceptionally nice. After washing up, they went to the canteen for breakfast. Yesterday, they had given the recipes for morning tea to the women in the kitchen, but they hadn't made them yet. It seemed they would need to learn for a few more days.
After they finished eating, they told Village Chief Lin that they were going to stay in the mountains for a few days and that he would take care of the village affairs during that time. Of course, this was just them being polite; otherwise, they had never really taken care of the village affairs.
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Lin was quite puzzled. Why were his two sisters-in-law going again? However, he still nodded and said, "Since you two sisters-in-law are going to the mountains again, please be careful. I'll take care of things in the village."
“Okay, let’s go!” An Shuyi nodded, and she and Xia Hua set off with their baskets on their backs. This time, they were going to the mountains behind them again, since the mountains there were bigger and more suitable for hunting.
The two had just reached the outer edge of the mountain when they spotted a wild boar. Xia Hua took out her bow and arrow, pulled it back hard, and the arrow pierced the boar's skull. The boar howled in pain and ran around.
No matter how it ran, the arrow couldn't come out. Before long, it fell to the ground. Xia Hua went over, pulled out the arrow, and washed it clean with water. The wild boar was also thrown into the warehouse.
"Huahua, let's take a walk around outside this mountain first. If we see any wild boars, we should kill them. Otherwise, they might run into the village and hurt someone," An Shuyi said.
Although all the men in the village were there, it was still a wild boar, and they often stayed in the workshop. The village children often played down the mountain, and if the wild boar came down and bumped into a child, it would be a real problem.
Xia Hua nodded, "I'll start from this side, you go from that side, we can meet here later."
The two split up, but when they regrouped, none of the wild boars were there. It was possible that only one had come out. Since there were none, the two headed deeper into the mountains.
Not long after entering, we discovered that the number of animals in the forest had increased significantly compared to before. The pheasants and rabbits were obvious, but most importantly, there were wild boars. It seemed that the number of wild boars had increased considerably.
The two of them didn't spare any of the wild boars they saw; they killed them and threw them into the warehouse. They also killed quite a few pheasants and rabbits and threw them into the warehouse as well.
Seeing that it was getting dark, unlike in May or June when it got dark very late, the two stopped hunting and instead looked for a place to rest. Since it didn't look like it was going to rain, they decided to just take out their tent.
The two of them didn't cook. Instead, An Shuyi took food from the warehouse, put it on the table, and each of them took a bowl of rice. That's how they ate. The food for tonight was taken from the palace, and she had plenty in her warehouse.
After finishing their meal, they put the bowls and chopsticks in the storeroom to wash later. They sat on chairs, eating pastries, but Xia Hua didn't eat any because she thought they were too sweet. After it got completely dark, the two of them washed up quickly and went to sleep in their tent.
There wasn't much entertainment in ancient times, so they could only go to bed early. When they woke up in the morning, the weather wasn't as good as yesterday's, and it looked gloomy. However, the two of them didn't care at all. As long as it wasn't the kind of torrential rain that lasted for several days in a row, it would be fine.
After putting the tent in the warehouse, the two washed up, ate something, and set off to hunt. Not long after, they saw a herd of sika deer. Although there were still plenty of deer in the warehouse in the trading system, the two did not let them go. They picked up their bows and arrows and killed the sika deer.
With powerful arrows, there were more than ten sika deer this time. Although many still escaped, we were still satisfied with so many.
After putting the sika deer into the warehouse, the two continued hunting. However, An Shuyi noticed a tea tree in the distance. The tea tree was very old and had no tender leaves. She went over and placed her hand on it. Golden Melon Tribute Tea.
Moreover, it can sell for three thousand taels per tree. There is also a smaller one next to it. If you put your hand on it, it is also a Golden Melon Tribute Tea, but it can only sell for one thousand taels, probably because it is too small.
The two of them started digging tea bushes together, but they had only gone halfway when Xia Hua spotted a familiar figure. "Shu Shu, you dig here, I'm going hunting. I'll be back soon, don't wander off." With that, she threw her hoe into the warehouse and ran off into the distance.
After watching her leave, An Shuyi continued digging up the tea trees. Once both tea trees were dug up, Xia Hua returned carrying an animal. Upon closer inspection, it was a red fox. "Hua Hua, you're amazing!"
Although Hua Hua said she was going hunting, she didn't expect it to be a red fox. Now she can make her own cloak, and her red and Hua Hua's white will look beautiful together.
Hearing her praise, Xia Hua looked up proudly, "These are all small matters. Later, we'll find Xiao He to tan the leather, and once it's completely dry, we'll make it into a cloak."
"It's a pity we only saw this one. Let's stay a few more days and see if we can catch some more foxes."
An Shuyi smiled and said, "There aren't that many foxes on this mountain, especially red ones. It would be good if we could catch two, and one is enough."
