38: Chapter 38 Transportation

Instead, they contentedly squeezed into the small chicken coop.

"Gui Yun, Xianglan, I will leave these three Mountain Delicacy Chicken to your care," Ye Jing said with a smile.

Wu Guiyun and Liu Xianglan were very surprised to see the three Mountain Delicacy Chicken staying obediently in the coop. Had Ye Jing really domesticated the spirit-rare chickens?!

That evening, Ye Jing did not mention what had happened in the mountains. At the dinner table, he asked, "Xuaner, Yier, how has your Cultivate been going lately?"

Ye Yi quickly said, "Dad, we have practiced the Black Whirlwind Axe Technique to perfection!"

"Very good. After more than a month of hard training, your strength has increased significantly. You can take Zheng Dali's place to deliver the golden spirit rice," Ye Jing nodded with satisfaction.

The golden spirit rice in the family's five mu of fields had matured and was ready for harvesting and threshing. The yield was several times higher than before, and the warehouse was almost full.

When these words were spoken, everyone in the family looked joyful. Being able to sell the golden spirit rice meant that the family business had recovered!

Ye Jing did not forget to add, "There is one more thing. I have tamed three Mountain Delicacy Chicken from the forest that need care. Once the Mountain Delicacy Chicken grow up and reproduce, our family will have another major source of income."

"Really? Dad! You are amazing! I have never heard of anyone being able to tame Mountain Delicacy Chicken!" Ye Yi was also shocked.

One had to know that Mountain Delicacy Chicken could fly and were game with Spiritual Qi, making them extremely difficult to tame. If they could be raised in large numbers, wouldn't their family be rich?

Ye Jing gave a light cough, "Don't be so quick to celebrate."

He put down his bowl and chopsticks and swept his gaze over his family at the table, "Although the Mountain Delicacy Chicken have been tamed, they have special habits. They like to eat grass seeds that contain Spiritual Qi from the mountains; they are not easy to raise with ordinary rice bran. From now on, Gui Yun and Xianglan, pay more attention and feed them with golden spirit rice!"

Wu Guiyun nodded quickly, her eyes full of anticipation, "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely take good care of them."

Liu Xianglan chimed in, "That's right! Dad! You can rest assured!"

Ye Jing nodded and turned to his two sons, "You must be careful about delivering the golden spirit rice. In the past, Zheng Dali handled the deliveries. You must wear face coverings, do not let Guo Zhengning recognize you, and be measured in your words and actions!"

Now that Ye Xuan and Ye Yi were doing the transporting, they could not clearly tell Guo Zhengning that this golden spirit rice was grown by the Ye family.

Both sons were Third-Stage Martial Artists; if that were revealed, the previous matter regarding the thief on the mountain would also be exposed, so they had to hide their identities well.

Ye Xuan nodded solemnly, "Dad, don't worry. We brothers will definitely handle this properly!"

After all, they had been going into the city to sell grain for so long; they understood these intricacies.

"Then Grandpa, what about us?" With everyone in the family having their tasks arranged, the neglected Ye Tianyao asked curiously while holding her drooling younger brother.

Ye Xuan helplessly pinched Ye Tianyao's little cheek, "Tianyao, you and Tian Hao just need to study well. Children shouldn't meddle in adult affairs!"

"Hmph!" Ye Tianyao gave a haughty huff, "Dad, you're so annoying! Brother, let's go play! Let's not get involved in their adult affairs!"

After saying this, she held her two-year-old brother and dragged her older brother Ye Tianhao to run outside.

Watching his Essence Spirit daughter, Ye Xuan also shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Ye Jing joked, "Xuaner, Yier, you two, work hard and give me a few more grandchildren to liven things up!"

"Yeah, yeah! Xianglan, I only have one son. Won't you give birth to a few more for me?" Ye Yi joked, giving his wife a wicked grin.

The petite Liu Xianglan immediately blushed and scolded, "Give birth to a few more? Do you think I'm a sow giving birth to a litter?!"

"More children, more blessings!" Ye Jing stroked his beard with a smile.

Wu Guiyun also giggled, covering her mouth, and fell into Ye Xuan's arms with a flushed face.

Seeing this, Ye Jing naturally did not want to disturb the young couple's good mood and returned to his own room.

Over the next few days, Ye Jing went to tell Zheng Dali that they could deliver the golden spirit rice and asked him to contact Guo Zhengning to come and pick it up.

From now on, it would be the Ye family sending someone to deliver the golden spirit rice.

Zheng Dali was naturally overjoyed to hear this. He told Guo Zhengning the news; he would still get a large commission, and he wouldn't have to deliver the goods with such anxiety in the future.

He immediately relayed this news to Guo Zhengning, who couldn't wait to come to Yuanhe Town to wait for the transaction.

That day, the radiant Ye Xuan and Ye Yi rose early. They quickly drove the ox cart, bringing the five hundred jin of golden spirit rice that had been packed the night before into the city.

This meeting was in Yuanhe Town. The two brothers wore bamboo hats on their heads and face coverings, effectively covering their faces completely, revealing only their eyes.

After the ox cart entered the small town, it arrived at Zhengs Meat Shop. Zheng Dali was looking around very nervously. Seeing Ye Yi and Ye Xuan arrive, he wiped away a cold sweat and quickly waved, "Here!"

Ye Xuan and Ye Yi pushed the ox cart to the side of the meat shop, and Zheng Dali nervously led them inside.

Inside the resting shed sat Guo Zhengning, with two sturdy-looking attendants in short-sleeved martial arts attire standing behind him.

Seeing Ye Xuan and Ye Yi arrive, a flash of surprise crossed Guo Zhengning's eyes. This was his first time seeing the seller behind this golden spirit rice. Both were Third-Stage Martial Artists, and judging by their mysterious attire, they likely had some background.

A warm smile appeared on his face, "Two brothers, you've had a hard journey. I am Guo Zhengning, it's an honor to meet you!"

Ye Xuan nodded. His gaze swept around the shed, and after confirming that only Guo Zhengning was there, his tense nerves relaxed slightly, though his voice still carried a hint of vigilance.

"Director Guo is too kind. We are here to deliver the goods. The five hundred jin of golden spirit rice is on the ox cart outside. After you inspect the goods, please settle the payment promptly!"

Seeing that these two were not beating around the bush, Guo Zhengning was also straightforward, "Fine! I, Guo, value integrity most in business. Since we agreed on payment upon delivery, I naturally won't go back on my word!"

As he spoke, he shouted toward the outside of the meat shop, "You two, go inspect the goods outside!"

The attendants immediately stepped forward to inspect the golden spirit rice.

At this moment, only Guo Zhengning, Ye Xuan, and Zheng Dali remained inside the shed.

Guo Zhengning asked with a smile, "You two, looking at your skills, you seem like trained fighters. May I ask who your master is?"

Ye Xuan replied coldly, "Director Guo, we are only here to discuss business; there is no need to ask about anything else."

He deeply understood the principle that one should not flaunt their wealth. The golden spirit rice was already eye-catching; if they exposed their family background as well, it would inevitably invite unnecessary trouble.

Guo Zhengning was not embarrassed by the cold rejection and laughed, "It was my mistake. You are right, brother! Let's only talk about business."

"The quality of your golden spirit rice is excellent, better than any tonic I have ever eaten. If you have good goods in the future, I am willing to purchase them long-term, and the price can even be increased a bit."

Ye Xuan heard this, and a glimmer of movement crossed his eyes. It just so happened that his father could domesticate Mountain Delicacy Chicken. If they could raise a significant number of Mountain Delicacy Chicken and achieve stable supply in the future, the profits would be very substantial.

But he did not agree immediately, only saying in a deep voice, "In that case, thank you for your kindness, Director Guo."

After the transaction was successful.

This delivery went quite smoothly. From now on, the two Ye brothers would be responsible for delivering the golden spirit rice.

For the sake of concealment, they had discussed it with Guo Zhengning. Guo Zhengning would secretly send people disguised as ordinary farmers to the outskirts of remote Yuanhe Town to pick up the golden spirit rice.

This way, they could trade directly. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was much more discreet than trading in the county town as they had done before.
