Chapter 499: Level Up New Changes
ly a few more words, then went back.Along the way, the two generations pondered.Although the woman just said many bad things about QingShui Village, if you think about it carefully, this place is actu...The sound of hooves, beating on the path, stirred up a cloud of dust and took away everyone's worries.
Only when Lord Hou and Li Lao Si and the others disappeared from sight did Madam Li say, "Go back now. There aren't many barbarian warriors left alive. Even if they march out, they'll be back soon."
This is a consolation to the family, but also a consolation to oneself.
Jia Yin quickly pulled her grandmother's hand and begged, "Grandma, the three little ones are still hungry. Grandma, please give them two eggs, okay"
As expected, Old Madam Li burst into laughter and scolded her granddaughter, "Your godfather didn't bring you a companion! He brought us another ancestor! Many families can't even afford enough to eat, and our family wants to feed foxes eggs This is simply outrageous!"
Jiayin smiled mischievously, pushing her grandma towards the courtyard. Everyone watching also started smiling.
Li Laotai has always been sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. She said she couldn't bear to part with anything, but in the end, she not only took some eggs but also a fruit.
The three are also born with the foodie attribute.
After eating the eggs and nibbling on fruit, it happily wagged its three tails from time to time, occasionally chirping a few times. It's unclear if it was saying, "Delicious, delicious!"
Jia Yin secretly stretched out her finger and touched San Tiao's tail. The fluffy feeling made her smile and squint her eyes.
Mr. Wen happened to have something to do in the city, so he invited Lao Er Li to accompany him. Lao Er Li put off the chores of the valley and changed into new clothes before going out.
He saw his little niece circling the fox's cage and said, "This cage is too small. When Uncle Er comes back, he will help Sanqiao buy a bigger one!"
Jia Yin quickly hugged Erbo's arm and acted cute, "Erbo, you should still care about your good and studious niece first!"
Li Lao'er couldn't stop smiling. He quickly crouched down and asked his little niece, "Come on, what kind of snacks do you want to eat The emperor gave us a shop the other day. Once we get it back, you can have as much as you want…"
"No, no!" Jia Yin heard this and her head was full of black lines.
Isn't her reputation as a foodie a bit too deeply ingrained
"Second Uncle, I want a set of historical books, preferably covering the centuries before the Tianwu era to the present day, including all major events of that time," Jia Yin quickly stated her request.
Sure enough, Li Lao Er was surprised, but he quickly recovered and praised, “Oh my, our Fu Niu is going to learn history Second Uncle must support her. I'll definitely bring you a set when I come back!”
"Thank you, Uncle Two! You're the best!" Jia Yin quickly showered Li Lao Er with praise, causing him to smile from ear to ear.
Tao Hongying carried a basket and was going to the valley. She planned to pick some vegetables on the way. Hearing this, she said, “This girl just knows how to spend money! A book from the bookstore can cost two or three taels of silver at random, and history books are thick. It's probably not less than five or six taels, she can't afford it at all!”
As she spoke, she was about to go back into the house to get the silver.
Li Lao Er quickly stopped her, "These few ounces of silver, I'm not short on. When I run out later, I'll just ask you for more!"
He tousled his little niece's hair, then joined Mr. Wen and left.
My mother's words did remind Jiayin.
Originally, the person who contributed the least to the family every year was Uncle Three. Now that Uncle Three has opened a canteen, he has daily cash flow and earns quite a bit throughout the year.
As for the second uncle, he only receives a stipend from his earl title at the end of the year. However, half of it is used to pay for rations, leaving him with about two or three hundred taels.
In an ordinary household, two or three hundred taels would be enough for a comfortable and affluent life.
But when an official, there's too much socializing, Uncle Two's expenses are also increasing. This bit of silver really isn't enough.
Afterward, she would look for an opportunity to help her second uncle find a way to make money...
And this path to wealth should ideally be both profitable and elegant, one that attracts popularity and expands the social circles of Second Uncle and the family!

Jia Yin was clueless at the moment, so she temporarily put the matter aside. Then, calling Shui Ling for help carrying the little fox, she went to the Ye family's courtyard.
When Jia Yin's stepfather was away, the Ye family courtyard became her private little world.
Although Zheng Feng and Zheng He lived in a dilapidated house, they were rarely there during the day.
The remaining Dongmei and Yeshan, they were already not talkative to begin with, and she could trust them as her "allies". She wanted to pull some strings here, so it would be the easiest with them!
When the sun reached its zenith, He Mam returned to her neighbor's house to help with the cooking.
Jia Yin brought the little fox into the inner room, while Dong Mei chased Shui Ling inside. Then she took her sewing basket and sat by the door of the inner room, personally watching over it.
Jia Yin heard voices outside the door and then, feeling relieved, brought the little fox into the space.
The little fox was still gnawing on a fruit when it was suddenly moved to a different place, so startled that the fruit fell out of its mouth.
Two little eyes widened, perfectly interpreting the phrase, "what it means to suddenly open the door to a new world!"
Jia Yin burst into laughter, tugging at its little tail, and began to make a pact with it.
"Alright, I'll let you out to play. You can go up the tree to eat fruit, or you can go into the chicken coop to eat eggs."
"But we agreed, you're not allowed to harm the seedlings and vegetables, and you're not allowed to kill the chickens, ducks, or rabbits! Otherwise, I won't let you in anymore, okay"
The little fox didn't know if it understood, but it anxiously pawed at the cage door, eager to explore the new world.
In this little world, Jia Yin is the absolute ruler, so she doesn't worry about the little fox running away.
She quickly opened the cage door.
The little fox darted out of the cage and vanished in a flash.
Jiayin didn't mind, she first fed the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs. Then she hurried to look at the cabbage seeds she had scattered last night.
Within a day, the cabbage seeds had already transformed into small seedlings with two leaves.
This speed, while not comparable to the nursery field, is definitely four or five times faster than an ordinary field outside.
With such wonderful news, her five mu of private land can now be seen as twenty-five mu!
If you don't procrastinate, you can have five harvests in a year's time within the space.
If we plant all of this, there will be enough food for the whole family to eat for five years.
If one is willing to work hard, be dedicated, and plan carefully, this can be a treasure trove!
Jia Yin was delighted, seeing the little fox curled up on the apple tree, munching away. She picked one herself and, as she munched, went to the front yard.
Last night, she didn't have time to investigate carefully. Now that she has some time, she wants to take a good look.
This space upgrade probably isn't just about the changes to the five mu of private land at the back...
Originally, in the temporary storeroom built against the wall at the front yard, there were two refrigerators where she had stored a lot of food.
Over the past few years, food hasn't seemed to change. It's as if time has lost its effect in the freezer.
She was the same before she crossed over, and she remains the same now, unchanged. But that's only within the confines of this small freezer space; everything else is normal.
After this upgrade, the whole front yard was magically frozen in time, just like a refrigerator.
This morning, she snuck in a half bowl of hot congee. It was still warm to the touch, but just one room away, in the main hall across the three rooms, it was different. The river of time suddenly flowed slowly.
Jia Yin could clearly feel these changes, but the specific details of the changes still need to be slowly explored later.
In short, it can now be confirmed that time in the front yard has stopped. Anything placed there will remain as it is, but living things are unaffected.
The time in the three main rooms has slowed down. The exact difference compared to the outside world is yet to be determined.
The vegetable garden and homestead in the back, where they grow food crops and greens, are five times faster growing than those outside. The nursery grows even faster...Hongying also turned her head, tears quietly seeping into her pillow...The Li family outwardly followed the lead of Li Lao Er, but internally, it was definitely Li Laotai who had the final say.Jia Yin...
