"Ali, I should have collected about five kilograms."

"Ali, my brother and I each collected two large bundles. How much can we get in exchange?"

"Sister Pear, we've picked quite a few too. My mother said we've picked five pounds. Can we make a couple of cents?"

Chen Xinli looked at the young boys and girls in front of her. Each of them had a large bundle of fairy grass in front of them. Judging from her appearance, it weighed at least thirty or forty kilograms.

These kids are so agile that she can't carry so many of them.

Let everyone carry their own fairy grass to Shen's house. After arriving home, Chen Xinli weighed each person and made a record.

"My family has to go to town to sell bamboo fans tomorrow. Can I pay you after we earn some money tomorrow?"

Chen Xinli asked everyone.

Although the family is not short of the dozen or so cents from the settlement, Chen Xinli thinks it is better not to let the villagers think that this money is too easy to earn.

After all, human hearts cannot resist temptation.

Several children looked at it and expressed their understanding.

There are no adults in the Shen family now. Can Shen Xinli, who is the same age as them, get money from home?

Obviously impossible.

Only Qian Tiegen looked thoughtful.

Qian Tiegen is twelve years old this year. Although he is the eldest son of the second branch of the Qian family, he is not qualified to go to school like his elder brother Qian Tiefu.

Because his father died early, the Qian family is now supported by his uncle Qian Dayou.

Although his uncle wanted him to go to school, his aunt Qian Wang was very opposed to it.

Why? My second son Tiezhu doesn’t have money to go to school, so why should Tiegen, the second son, get a chance?

Tiegen's mother also told him not to have that idea.

The young boy watched his mother working silently and he was eager to earn money so that his mother would not be bullied by his grandmother and aunt at home.

As soon as he heard his aunt-in-law calling them to pick the wild grass, he ran over immediately.

He thought he could make money by delivering the wild mint, but when he saw that the Shen family's thatched cottage was not even as big as the Qian family's house, the young boy felt a little regretful.

Could this girl have tricked us into helping her with the work?

Qian Tiegen thought about it but didn't say it out loud.

He was the oldest among the group. Seeing that no one had any questions, he looked at Chen Xinli and said:

"Will you really give us money tomorrow? Your parents are not here, can you make the decision about this wild mint?"

After Qian Tiegen finished speaking, a group of children looked at Chen Xinli nervously.

Yes, from the beginning to the end they only heard Ali giving them orders, and did not hear her parents say anything.

The mood of the group of children instantly fell to the bottom.

It’s not that they feel bad after working for a whole afternoon, they also have to dig wild vegetables on weekdays.

But those two cents were just enough to buy a candied haws, and no family in Qianniu Village had extra money to buy snacks for their children.

Only during festivals can the children in a family be given a string of candied haws, and they can eat one candied haws for the whole afternoon.

Chen Xinli looked at the boy who was speaking, only to see that the boy's black eyes were also staring at her, as if he was expecting something.

This young man is quite amazing. Chen Xinli was slightly surprised.

But at the moment, she didn't intend to reveal who made the decisions in the family, so she said:

"Then let's do this. Take the grass from your Qian family back first! Bring it back tomorrow and I will still pay you."

After Chen Xinli finished speaking, she looked at the other children and said, "You can also take it back first and come back tomorrow."

"Brother Tiegen, let's wait until tomorrow. I believe Sister Ali won't lie to us."

Zhao Dabao is Zhao Xiaobao's older brother. Seeing Tiegen in front of him seemed to distrust A Li, he tried to persuade him.

Qian Tiegen thought for a moment and put down the wild mint in his hand.

"Okay, we'll trust you for now!"

The other children also put down the fairy grass and left.

The adults in the family were busy digging ditches at the moment, and no one noticed that a new round of experiments had begun in the Shen family's cottage.

He told his third brother Shen Yulin to light the fire and asked Shen Jinlin to keep watch at the door.

Chen Xinli put the cleaned grass jelly into a large pot and boiled it in the pot according to the ratio of one pound of grass to four pounds of water.

He then burned some clean straw to make some ashes, added some water, and washed out the clean alkaline water to pour into the big pot.

I searched for a long time at home but couldn't find sweet potato starch.

After thinking for a long time, it seemed that rice milk could also increase the viscosity, so I started cooking porridge in another pot.

When the rice porridge in the pot becomes a little sticky, skim off the top layer of rice soup and set aside. The remaining rice can be directly steamed into cooked rice.

After the herbal jelly was boiled in the pot for about an hour, a fragrant aroma emanated from the pot, and a layer of green gelatinous substance appeared on the edge of the pot.

Chen Xinli knew that the glue had come out, but she couldn't accept the green color in front of her. It always felt like a green worm.

I remember that the grass jelly I ate in my previous life was all black.

The third brother and his younger brother quickly put the rest of the magical herbs in the yard to dry.

The grass jelly made by drying it in this way should be black.

Pour out all the stems, leaves and sticky liquid in the pot, filter them with a piece of white cloth, and then pour the filtered liquid back into the pot to boil.

Pour in the rice water while stirring.

After a while, the grass jelly began to show signs of solidifying.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else at home, Chen Xinli went into the space, collected three large mangoes, peeled and diced them, and put them in a large bowl.

Once the grass jelly is completely solidified, you can cut it into small cubes and mix it with mangoes.

On Qianniu Mountain, people were still digging canals.
