After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life

Chapter 166: Enough to Eat for a Lifetime

Therefore, from that day on, it stayed at Aunt Zhang's house until Yun Xiao came to visit Han Yi's family, and then it ran back...

Yun Xiao was also worried that it would be difficult to drive the carriage because of the rain, so he drove the mule cart to Ping'an Town overnight. On the one hand, he could carry some of the goods over, and on the other hand, he could ask Manager Tong to arrange some horse-drawn carriages to come over earlier.

Han Yi originally wanted to go with Yun Xiao, but was rejected by him. Thinking that Aunt Zhang and others would come early tomorrow morning to deliver the peppers, he no longer insisted and let him go by himself.

As Han Yiyi had expected, the next morning, as soon as Han Yiyi got up, someone knocked on the door. However, it was Aunt Wang instead of Aunt Zhang, and naturally his two grandsons came with them.

Han Yiyi looked at the people opposite him. They all had panda eyes, but their eyes were sparkling. He couldn't help but ask.

"Auntie, you guys, didn't you sleep all night..."

"Yes, I didn't sleep. How could I sleep when all these treasures are in the field? I haven't even picked them yet..."

It wasn't just Aunt Wang's family who didn't sleep all night. Most of the families who didn't finish picking the fruits yesterday also didn't sleep all night.

Of course, in addition to worrying about rain, they were also worried that their peppers would be picked by other farmers, as each pound of peppers was worth twenty-five cents.

If someone accidentally picked a handful, it would be enough to buy half a pound of meat for the child.

As expected, Han Yiyi hadn't even started weighing Aunt Wang and the others when other people came one after another. Without exception, they all had panda eyes, but their eyes were sparkling.

On the other side, at the Yunlai Restaurant, Manager Tong was stunned when he saw Yun Xiao appearing in the middle of the night with a cart full of chili peppers, and asked hurriedly.

"Young Master, when did you come to Ping'an Town? And you even ran to Zhuzhenshan Village in the middle of the night to steal chili peppers..."

When Yun Xiao heard what Shopkeeper Tong said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and thought to himself, this guy is becoming more and more stupid.

"What are you stealing? I just brought this from a restaurant. Please arrange a carriage to take it away and then send it to another restaurant..."

Actually, it's not surprising that Shopkeeper Tong thought so. He had always believed that Yun Xiao was in Kyoto. Now he suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, and secretly brought a cart of chili peppers. Anyone would think too much, right?

If Yun Xiao knew that Manager Tong was secretly complaining about him for being sneaky, he would definitely go up and kick him.

Seeing Yun Xiao's unfriendly look, he nodded in response.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right away, I'll go right away..."

I have to say that although Manager Tong was a bit of a chatterbox, he was very efficient. In just two hours, he arranged several horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, the next morning, at around 9:00 a.m., all the carriages arrived at Han Yi's house.

As the people brought the peppers over, they loaded the carriages. In just one day, all the peppers were harvested.

Han Yiyi roughly calculated that there were a total of 19 acres of peppers, of which 4 acres were chili peppers, so a total of nearly 23,000 kilograms of long peppers were obtained. The yield of chili peppers was higher, about 2,000 kilograms per acre, which was equivalent to 8,000 kilograms of chili peppers.

However, Han Yiyi did not plan to let them take all the millet peppers away directly. Instead, she planned to make some pickled peppers first, so that they could be stored for a longer time.

After all the peppers were packed up, they began to settle today's money.

Even the poorest families received nearly eight taels of silver, most received ten to twenty taels, and the largest amount went to Aunt Zhang's family.

Their family planted a total of four acres of land, two of which were used to grow chili peppers. Chili peppers cost thirty cents per pound, which added up to almost two hundred taels of silver.

Worried that it would be too much money for her to handle, Han Yiyi prepared some banknotes for her. Looking at the banknotes in her hand, Aunt Zhang's hands trembled slightly. She looked at Han Yiyi with a look full of joy and gratitude. In her opinion, this amount of money was enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives...

The next was the village chief's family. They planted a total of two and a half acres of peppers, including one and a half acres of long peppers and one acre of millet peppers. In this way, they earned more than one hundred and ten taels of silver. The next was Aunt Wang's family, who also earned almost one hundred taels.

When everyone saw that the three families of the village chief had won hundreds of taels of silver, they were so envious that they hurriedly asked Han Yiyi.

"Girl Han, you said before that these peppers can be planted twice. When do we start planting the other crop? My family wants to plant more this time..."

"Yes, Miss Han, my family is also going to plant more this time..."

When someone asked, everyone agreed. Even the village chief was looking at Han Yiyi expectantly. After all, growing crops was much better than growing grains.

However, after hearing what everyone said, Han Yiyi frowned. It was already June, and more than a month had passed since the second crop was planted. It was too late now, so he spoke.

"The time for the second crop has passed, but there is no need to worry. If you want to plant, you can plant more next year. The peppers sold this way are not mature, and the seeds have not been spread. I think the price of peppers next year will not be much lower..."

Although I was a little disappointed after listening to Han Yiyi's words, the disappointment was swept away when I thought that I could plant more next year.

He touched the silver in his hand again and became excited again.

Looking at everyone's happy faces as they left with the silver in their pockets, Han Yiyi smiled with satisfaction.

Yun Xiao, who was standing aside, looked at Han Yiyi like this, and the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed.

In fact, Han Yiyi could have bought their peppers without paying such a high price. The reason she paid such a high price was that she wanted to help these villagers.

How can anyone not be moved by such a kind-hearted woman?

Han Yiyi naturally noticed Yun Xiao's gaze, so she quickly looked away.

Because there were a lot of chili peppers left, the jars at home were not enough for making pickled peppers, so the next morning, the two of them prepared to go to the town to buy some larger ones.

But as soon as he left the village, he saw villagers in groups of three or five, talking and laughing as they headed towards Ping'an Town. Before Han Yiyi could speak, everyone took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

"Girl Yi Yi, you should go to the town too. Let's go too. We got some money yesterday, and today we want to go to the town to buy some things and buy some meat to feed the children at home..."

Han Yiyi: I don’t think I asked..., but seeing everyone so happy, Han Yiyi also felt happy from the bottom of her heart, and had a feeling that her coming to this world was not in vain.

On the other side, at the Yun Mansion, Old Madam Yun looked at the young man who had taken action and spoke.

"I asked you to go to the restaurant more often in recent days, but you went..."
