Along the way, Ye Muyu realized that there was a reason why there were so many wild wood ears in Black Water Village. The climate was indeed suitable.

When they arrived at the Xiang family’s wood mountain, they saw a large number of wood ears. Some of them were already over-ripe, but they were still edible.

Unfortunately, many of the wood ears had already gone bad.

Two months ago, the wood ears had started to mature. It was a little late to discover them. However, since the last batch had never been picked by anyone, there were still quite a few.

“We’ll start picking tomorrow. We’ll start from these that have already matured.”

“Different quality will be divided into different grades, and the price will also be different.”

“Cousin-in-law, I’ll go home to get my basket now. I’ll pick some back first. Cousin Heng needs to study and can’t stay too long at our house. I’ll be quick.” Xiang Ling’er was meticulous. Not only did she know that Chu Heng had to attend the upcoming exams and was busy reading, but she also knew that Chu Heng had to repair the house. These things were all a waste of time.

“That’s fine too.” Ye Muyu did not refuse after thinking about it.

“Fuan, go back and get the basket.” Du Heng instructed the coachman beside him.

The coachman nodded and returned to the Xiang Family.

“Sister-in-law, the wood ears are indeed not bad. However, what price do you plan to sell it for?” Du Heng squatted down and helped.

When Xiang Ling’er saw this, she silently snatched his work. She would even glance at his clean hands from time to time. There was not a trace of soil in his hands. How could such a young master do farm work?

“Yanxu, why are you asking this?” Ye Muyu could not help teasing him. “Are you afraid that Ling’er won’t be able to sell the wood ears?”

Du Heng blushed when he heard Ye Muyu’s probing. However, he calmed down and smiled. “Sister-in-law, I’m not worried. I just want to buy it first. After all, no one else knows the benefits of the wood ear. If my shop has it, we can make a profit.”

“Ling’er, are you willing to sell me the wood ears?” Du Heng tilted his head and asked Ling’er.

“No, cousin-in-law bought it first.” Xiang Ling ‘er shook her head.

Du Heng was speechless.

His handsome face cracked for a moment. After a while, he took a deep breath so that he would not be angered to death by this silly girl’s honesty.

“Haha.” Ye Muyu could not help but laugh.

Xiang Ling’er saw that Ye Muyu was happy, so she smiled too.

Du Heng watched from the side and could not help but feel a little helpless. This girl probably did not feel his sadness at all.

Thinking that his sister-in-law had already seen through his intentions, he became more direct.

“Sister-in-law, give me this business. I’ll give you a bonus when the time comes.” Du Heng stood up and said directly.

Ye Muyu did not mind. She had originally planned to start the wood ear business and help her aunt’s family improve their living standards. Chu Heng would become an official in the future, and his family background would be important.

Naturally, she would help as much as he could.

Ye Muyu was about to nod.

“I have a use for it.” Chu Heng refused.

“Brother Heng? Are you going to put it in the caravan?” Du Heng looked at him in surprise.

“Yes, it’s not unusual for vegetables to grow in Jiangnan during winter. After all, the temperature here is warmer. Some vegetables can be grown in winter, and winter comes early.”

“On the contrary, sending it to the north will fetch a higher price.”

Du Heng nodded slightly. “That’s right. In that case, it’s better to ship it to the north. It’s more suitable than selling it in the county.”
