Four people worked for two hours before killing most of the rabbits.

Li Wenxiu followed his daughter's instructions, salted the rabbits, smoked them two days later, and then took them down the mountain to sell.

The pigs that were killed some time ago are still kept in the basement.

Ye Yutong planned to make bacon, fill it with some sausages, save some for his own consumption, and exchange the rest for money.

I wonder if there are sausages in this dynasty? If not, this will be a good business in the future.

Now she needs to find more profitable businesses. When the famine is over, she will open shops and do business in various places.

Looking at Ping An's current plans, he should have other plans. There will be many places to use money in the future.

You have to prepare early. You don’t need to think about how difficult that road will be. Without money and food to open the way, everything is nonsense.

Looking at the pile of skinned rabbit skins, Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan discussed that they would come in to make the rabbit skins tomorrow.

Ye Mingzhe brought a large pot of roasted pork ribs with potatoes from the kitchen, and put a few pancakes on it, "Mom, eldest brother, and brother-in-law, come over for dinner."

Now his cooking skills are so good that his family praises his delicious cooking and asks him to show off his skills every time he comes in.

Ye Mingxuan washed his hands and came over, "Mingzhe, did you leave some for your sister?"

"Keep it. My sister likes the braised pork ribs I made the most. I left a big plate for her." Ye Mingzhe said with some pride.

Ye Mingxuan picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth, nodded and said, "It tastes really good. Second brother, let's stew the braised pork and eat it tomorrow night!"

"Okay, I'll cut a good piece of pork belly for you to stew tomorrow." Ye Mingzhe readily agreed.

"Mom, brother-in-law, tell me what you want to eat and I will cook it for you."

Li Yunze smiled and said: "Second brother, the braised pork is very good. I like all the dishes you cook."

"Brother-in-law is just being polite. We are all a family. Just tell me what you want to eat. No need to see anyone outside."

"Second brother, I am really not a stranger. Every dish you cook is to my taste. I like to eat it very much."

Ye Mingxuan saw the two of them lingering there and interrupted them, "It's getting late, hurry up and eat. My sister is still waiting outside."

Ye Mingzhe slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot about my sister."

Li Wenxiu smiled and shook her head. These three children were becoming more and more like adults. She didn't need to worry about anything. They had everything arranged well.

Seeing that it was half past ten in the evening, Ye Yutong entered the space and took the four of them out.

She didn't eat the food left by her second brother. She simply freshened up and went back to the bedroom to sleep. She had to get up early to practice martial arts tomorrow.

After this winter of training, the children in the valley seemed to have changed. He has a strong body, a rosy complexion, and behaves in a very orderly manner.

The most important thing is that now they have no shortage of food and plenty of oil and water. They have raised these children very strong and they have grown a lot in a few months.

Master Zhou was also very attentive to these children. He not only taught them how to read and write, but also taught them filial piety, loyalty, etiquette, justice and shame.

Li Yunze taught them martial arts and some rules of wealthy families.

These were things my uncle asked his husband to teach him secretly when he was at Shanhua Temple.

His uncle also invited many famous teachers to take turns teaching him at night. None of the six arts of a gentleman has fallen behind.

Now he taught this to his disciples.

His martial arts was taught by Master Wuchen himself. He didn't know how the master's martial arts were? All I know is that he and his fellow seniors combined are no match for the master.

His martial arts skills are the best among his senior brothers, but he can only defeat dozens of moves in the master's hands.

When Li Yunze, Ye Mingxuan, Ye Mingzhe, and Ye Yutong arrived at the martial arts training ground, all the children, big and small, were there, and Mantang was leading them to warm up.

I saw him shouting in unison: "Good morning, Master."

He greeted Ye Mingxuan and the others again.

Li Yunze nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started!"

Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe put their coats aside and joined in.

Ye Yutong ranked last. When she first started practicing, she didn't have much hope for herself, so she just wanted to learn a few tricks to defend herself.

But after these few months of training, I feel like I have some talent for martial arts.

During the competition a few days ago, her results ranked among the top four.

The first place is Mantang, the second place is Zhang Daqian, and the third place is Ye Mingxuan.

This ranking was completely beyond everyone's expectation. No one expected that Zhang Daqian was so powerful that he actually took second place, pushing his eldest brother Ye Mingxuan to the back.

And her fourth place is even more surprising. People who come and go every day and don't want to practice for a while still queue up in front of a few boys.

These boys are working harder now, getting up half an hour earlier than Li Yunze's prescribed time, and practicing an extra quarter of an hour before going to bed at night.

Seeing everyone in the room working so hard, his sense of crisis became even greater. He was afraid that someone might take away his first place, and he got up earlier than his juniors every day.

Ye Yutong felt that these children were so stupid that they couldn't be compared. They couldn't be compared.

So she gave up her ranking. She was not going to participate in future competitions. Let these children compete for first place! She's sorry.

After practicing martial arts for an hour, when he went to have breakfast, the whole room was full of people following Li Yunze.

Li Yunze saw that he was hesitant to speak and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

The whole room laughed innocently, touched their heads, and then asked hesitantly: "Master, when the snow melts, do you want to go down the mountain?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Master, do you think you can take me with you?"

Li Yunze then looked at him seriously and said, "I have to go down to do business, so it's not convenient for me to take you with me. Besides, besides me, you are the best in martial arts here. If we both leave, what will happen in this valley?" "

The whole room felt very proud when they heard that Master valued him so much. They puffed up their chests and said:

"Master is right, we can't all leave, one person must be left to look after the house. Then I won't follow Master. I will guard the valley here. If anyone dares to come, let them see how powerful I am."

Li Yunze patted his shoulder happily, "Okay, practice martial arts well from now on. When I come back, I will let you guys compete. If you still come in first, then I will let you be the senior brother."

The whole room said excitedly: "Thank you, Master."

The few boys following them looked at each other and decided in their hearts that they must practice martial arts well in the past few months and strive to become senior brothers.

By the time the snow melted, it was already the end of February. There were almost a hundred acres of land in the valley, and it would take a long time to plant all of it.

Li Yunze was going to plant crops in the ground and then go down the mountain. The large pond dug last year is already half full of water, which is basically rain and snow water.

Yongchang and Wencai diverted water from the creek to that side again, intending to fill the pond for irrigating crops in the future.

Ye Yutong is going to put some fish, shrimp and crabs in it, so that it will be convenient to eat in the future.

After lunch, everyone was working in the fields, and she and Li Yunze left the valley.
