CHAPTER 94: CHAPTER 094: ACCUMULATING LITTLE BY LITTLE (3)

Buying baskets and bamboo baskets costs quite a bit.

With so many people at home, we have to buy several at a time.

Li Yuzhu came up with an idea and gave the three of them used cloth bags that had been used for storing rice.

Grasses and herbs are light; even if one bag is filled up, it only weighs five to six pounds, so carrying it isn’t hard.

Li Yuzhu shook off the dirt from the herbs and stored them all in her space.

Soon, these herbs turned into dry herbs.

The space automatically calculated that the five types of dried herbs weighed a total of ten pounds and two ounces.

She gave the fraction to the space as a fee for using medical equipment, keeping the whole pounds and ounces for herself.

These are cheap herbs, roughly estimated at twenty to thirty coins per pound, meaning the three of them earned two to three hundred coins this morning.

It’s not much money, but saving it like this every day amounts to a considerable sum.

Li Yuzhu told the estimated amount to the three of them.

Everyone was very happy.

The Great Princess said repeatedly, "I’ll rest for a while and then go dig for herbs again."

"Me too, eldest sister, call me in a while, I’ll take a nap." The Second Princess lay down again after eating.

The Great Princess rolled her eyes at her.

Little nephew Li Jing hadn’t seen his mother all morning and ran into Xue Family’s arms to act spoiled.

Xue Family was tired from squatting and digging herbs and was having the Princely Heir massage her legs.

She lifted Li Jing aside, "Go play with Grandma."

She had agreed that children were not her responsibility; why did this brat come to bother her?

"Grandma is holding the baby sister." Li Jing sighed in grievance.

"Go find your aunt, she’s free." Xue Family pushed him out of the cave.

Li Jing pouted and had no choice but to go find Li Yuzhu.

"Aunt, hold me." Li Jing rushed over, hugging Li Yuzhu’s leg.

"Alright, hold Jingjing." Li Yuzhu sat on a stone outside the cave and lifted Li Jing onto her lap.

She looked into the cave and shook her head speechlessly, was this child picked up by his parents?

Those two are so loving, they’ve neglected the child.

"Come, Aunt will tell you a story..."

.

After lunch, everyone got busy again.

Xue Family and the Great Princess, Second Princess, as usual, went to dig herbs.

Prince Luling took his three sons down the mountain to continue building houses.

Princess Consort Luling stayed with the two children for their afternoon nap.

Li Yuzhu collected the dried clothes, folded them piece by piece, and put them on each person’s bed.

She carried a basket and greeted Princess Consort Luling before heading to the South Mountain Slope.

She picked some wild vegetables, as it was almost time to prepare dinner for Mu Yuanxiu.

Everyone loves mustard green dumplings, so she decided to dig some more mustard greens.

Her luck was incredible that afternoon; besides filling a basket with mustard greens, she also caught a wild chicken.

Li Yuzhu decided to share half with Mu Yuanxiu.

She walked briskly to Mu Yuanxiu’s house.

Mu Yuanxiu was sitting in the courtyard, repairing an old chair.

He was hammering away, making a loud noise.

Seeing her approach, he nodded slightly, "The gate’s open."

"I noticed." Li Yuzhu walked in with a smile and showed him the wild chicken in her hand, "I caught a wild chicken, I’ll make wild chicken soup for you later."

Mu Yuanxiu’s eyes held a faint smile, "You made too much for lunch; I haven’t finished it yet, there’s no need to cook dinner."

Li Yuzhu was surprised, "You haven’t finished eating?"

Not believing it, she went into the kitchen to check.

Indeed, under the bamboo cover on the table, there was half-eaten food and a big bowl of rice.

Only ate this little?

"The clothes are done, come take a look." In the courtyard, Mu Yuanxiu called out to Li Yuzhu.
