The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 998 Wild Yam



First they heard the howling of wolves, and then they met a wild boar. The two of them didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried down the mountain.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, they met two hunters from the village, Orion Tang and Orion Wang.

Although Tang Orion is only a few years older than Ye Xilin, he is tall and has a beard. He does not look like his peers, but looks like someone from Ye's father's generation.

Tang Orion's basket was full, and there were some old wild vegetables on the surface. It was estimated that there were good things hidden underneath.

He also carried a half-sized pheasant and a pure white hare in his hand.

The older one is Wang Orion. He is a famous hunter in the village and has better skills.

There were several pheasants and hares in the backpack, and a wild goat was carried on the shoulder.

The two of them had a good harvest today, and they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

Ye Xilin has been talkative since he was a child and took the initiative to greet the two of them:

"Brother Tang, Uncle Wang, you two have gained a lot today."

Tang Orion smiled heartily and said, "I heard that your wife is a famous female Orion in Dashan Village. Seeing how big and small you are, she really deserves her reputation."

Wang Orion on the side winked at Ye Xilin:

"You have good vision, and you have married a good wife."

The four of us all had a good harvest today. They were talking and laughing while going down the mountain, exchanging their own experiences.

Orion Tang and Orion Wang have been hunting in Langshan Mountain for many years and are quite familiar with this area. They know exactly where there are wolves and wild boars.

Afraid that the two of them would act impulsively at a young age, they were reminded of the more dangerous places and tried to avoid them when going up the mountain.

Li Guoer and Ye Xilin listened very carefully, and in order to thank them, they gave them some morels.

Li Guo'er knew that they came down from the mountains and had hunted a lot of prey, so she thought that the two of them were pretty good at it.

If you go into the mountains next time, you can call them. I just don’t know if people are willing to take them both.

After chatting for a while, Ye Xilin took a fancy to the pure white rabbit in Tang Orion's hand.

The fur is as pure white as snow, with not a single hair on it. If it is well-tanned, it will be a good piece of leather.

The hunters of the Tang Dynasty did not know how to tandoor leather, and the prey they usually caught were sold directly to restaurants in the town.

Seeing that Ye Xilin wanted to buy it, I readily sold it to him at the price of an ordinary gray rabbit.

Ye Xilin also made an agreement with the two of them that if there are any pure white rabbits next time, they can take them to Ye's house.

Sheepskin can also be used to make leather, but the wild goat hunted by Hunter Wang was hit by several arrows and the leather was damaged.

Li Guoer looked at the wild goat covered in bamboo arrows with distress on her face.

It's a pity that this sheepskin cannot be made into leather.

Orion Wang and Orion Tang came together to hunt today. They came in the same donkey cart. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the four of them separated.

Tang Orion and Wang Orion left first in donkey carts.

The Ye family's donkey cart was hidden secretly, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to find it.

Ye Xilin is truly a treasure hunter. When he was leading the donkey cart, he discovered a wild yam that had grown for who knows how many years.

"Guo'er, look to the left, there's a huge wild yam."

Li Guoer turned around and saw that there was indeed a familiar plant in the lush grass.

The vines grow very thick, and the leaves are mixed with weeds. If you don't pay attention, you might think they are a pile of weeds.

"It's better that you have good eyesight. This yam is growing in a pile of weeds. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed it."

Li Guoer had to admire that some people were born with good luck and wealth in their lives.

Ye Xilin put all the sacks on his shoulders and the basket on his back into the donkey cart, and then dug happily with a small medicine hoe.

“This wild yam powder is glutinous and glutinous, and it’s especially delicious when used to make porridge or soup.”

Li Guoer stood aside and nodded happily:

"Yam nourishes the stomach. My mother usually likes to cook yam porridge."

The ground was covered with dead branches and leaves. When you peeled off the thick layer of rotten leaves on top, you would see dark mulch underneath, which looked very fertile.

After digging a few times, Ye Xilin saw the yam hidden under the black soil. It was quite big.

Although the soil on this mountain is fertile, there are also many large and small rocks.

In addition, he was afraid of damaging the yams, so Ye Xilin dug them very carefully.

Ye Xilin had just moved a big stone away when he turned around and saw sweet potatoes and snowballs running over to help dig the soil.

Seeing this, Li Guoer also came over with a machete to help dig.

It took two people and two dogs half an hour to dig out this giant yam.

The smallest part of this yam is as thick as Ye Xilin's wrist. The largest part is almost as thick as his arm.

Moreover, this yam was extremely long. Unfortunately, it was accidentally damaged when digging and it was broken into three pieces.

Ye Xilin was in a very good mood, holding a few thick yams.

"Good guy, these yams weigh at least 10 kilograms."

Li Guoer: "I'll make you yam porridge and yam chicken soup tomorrow."

Digging yams took a lot of time. When the two returned home, it was already dark.

As soon as the two entered the door, Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye immediately greeted them and took them to look at them carefully twice.

Seeing that the two of them were not injured, they felt a little calmer.

Ye Mu glared at Ye Xilin and called out with one hand:

"You brat, didn't you agree not to go into the mountains? Why are you coming back now?"

Ye Xilin easily dodged Ye Mu's hand that wanted to hit him, and immediately hid behind Li Guo'er, stretched out his head and said with a smile:

"I had already gone down the mountain, but I found a big wild yam at the foot of the mountain, so I dug it out. I wasted a little time, so I came back late."

Suddenly, Father Ye came from behind and kicked Ye Xilin on the butt.

"You're getting more and more shameless, and you're still hiding behind your wife. It's so shameless."

Ye Xilin rubbed his butt and hid on the other side of Li Guoer.

"Dad, you attacked me secretly, how despicable you are."

Hearing the noise in the yard, other people in the family rushed over.

Ye Donglin was walking at the front. Before anyone arrived, a voice came over: "What good things did you find when you went up the mountain today?"

Speaking of this, everyone almost forgot that Ye Xilin and Li Guoer quickly moved the things in the donkey cart.

"Look, Guo'er and I found these."

With that said, Ye Xilin showed off and took out everything he found today.

"Wild yams, morels, 7 Pangasius, 2 Gastrodia elata, a wild ginseng and a sack of gold orchids, as well as several kilograms of common herbs."

"Guo'er said, these herbs together can be sold for more than twenty taels." Ye Xilin put his hands on his hips with a very proud expression.

Seeing that he looked like he needed a beating, Father Ye couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him.

"That's not why Guo'er is so awesome. He knows so many medicinal herbs, and it's up to you to pull them all out as weeds."

Ye Xilin proudly showed off his wife:

"Guo'er is great, and I'm not bad either. I fell in love with such a good wife at first sight, so I must have a good eye for her!"

Father Ye had a look of disgust on his face. He was afraid that he would not be able to have such a stupid son.
