Lin Jinyue wasn't too particular; after spending a few days with them, she knew what kind of people they were.

Lin Jinyue adhered to the principle of "if you don't trust someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them," and with her father's experience in managing talent, Lin Jinyue was not worried about them betraying her at all.

If anyone dares to betray her, she will definitely deal with them ruthlessly, making an example of them to deter others.

Once on the shore, Lin Jinyue felt somewhat uneasy.

The shore was full of people from Chenjia Village, all staring at her with eager eyes.

Jiang Mi and Jiang Shou immediately blocked Lin Jinyue's path: "What, what are you trying to do?"

Chen Mazi hurriedly said, "Hey, don't misunderstand, little girl. Do you remember me? I'm Chen Mazi from Chenjia Village. My whole family used to go and find snails for you. We always got the most."

Others: Shameless!

Lin Jinyue asked with some confusion, "What's going on here?"

Chen Mazi then said, "I just wanted to ask if we could move to your Yunhe Village?"

Lin Jinyue shook her head: "No, it's not allowed. When I went with them to register my household a few days ago, the county magistrate said that we can't poach people, otherwise it will be difficult for him too."

Chen Mazi looked ashen-faced: "So, we can only wait and see if Chen Dawei ever has a mental breakdown before we can go to your village?"

Lin Jinyue sighed, "Yes."

Look, how many laborers who could help with farming have she lost all of her work?

With the farm already at level seven, further upgrades become increasingly difficult.

Lin Jinyue looked at the large expanse of land.

What's the use of just having land?

Since we can't mechanize everything, we have to rely on manpower, and she also has to find ways to make money. We really don't have enough people.

However, Chen Mazi was quick-witted. "Look, we're in Cao Ying but our hearts are with Han. We can't move to your village, but can we do some hard labor? Like before, helping to pick snails or something."

Lin Jinyue frowned at first, "It's really hard to say."

First of all, they are from Chenjia Village.

The incident with the snails can be considered a lesson learned.

Lin Jinyue wasn't upset that the villagers wouldn't give her the snails; instead, she sold them to Chen Dawei.

These people had no choice. Chen Dawei's methods were dirty, and he was quite good at turning the tables. In ancient times, ordinary people were at the bottom of the food chain.

To put it bluntly, these people's status in Chenjia Village is probably not even as high as the dog that Chen Dawei keeps.

Lin Jinyue had to consider that these people had been driven to the brink of death by Chen Dawei and had no choice but to hand over those secrets.

Therefore, it's destined that they can't be assigned to more important tasks.

Lin Jinyue thought for a moment, "That's fine too. There are wild fruits for sale in town. Sweet ones are five coins a pound, and sour ones are ten coins a basket, about ten pounds. We collect these every day."

"There are also some hard jobs that don't pay much, and I don't know if you'd be willing to do them."

Chen Mazi's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, yes, I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of strength."

Lin Jinyue then said, "I'll make a simple plan and call you back in a while. It might take a month, but we'll always need the fruit."

Lin Jinyue actually wanted to open a general store.

They sell inexpensive items, such as soap, pens, and the like.

But a general store can't just sell these things, right?

There's always more stuff.

Products like coconut oil and chili oil can also be sold in grocery stores.

Even so, that's still far too little.

Lin Jinyue had to take it one step at a time, to avoid things getting chaotic later.

Moreover, she needed to secure a specific area for these people to make soap and bamboo pens.

If someone were to do it directly at home, Chen Dawei would probably either steal the technique or cause trouble.

Lin Jinyue was also annoyed by this person.

Tomorrow is the opening day of the teahouse.

Lin Jinyue prepared milk tea, various flavors of fruit wine, as well as some snacks and iced drinks.

The menu wasn't extensive, but each dish was something new and unfamiliar to the people of Shawan County, something they had never seen before.

Lin Jinyue had already brewed fruit wine a long time ago.

It should be drinkable now.

Lin Jinyue secretly glanced at her father, who was in the distance, huffing and puffing as he pulled the old ox to work.

She secretly glanced at her mother again; she was fine, busy teaching the girls how to take a pulse.

Her brother, Lin Xueqing, is being forced by his teacher to practice calligraphy.

Old Mrs. Tan adored her brother and insisted that he must become the top scholar in the imperial examination, so that the future champion wouldn't be ruined by his terrible handwriting.

Lin Jinyue was also amazed.

This old man has quite an appetite.

Seeing that the adults in the family were all busy with their own things, Lin Jinyue finally had a little free time, so she thought she would taste the fruit wine for the diners first.

Lin Jinyue was also particularly cautious.

Before drinking it, she had the system help her test the ingredients. Although she had watched relevant brewing videos and read related materials, water quality, air quality, and some small details all had a significant impact.

However, the scan results were still satisfactory; all of these fruit wines are safe to drink.

The diopters are not high either; the highest is only eight diopters.

It's like a beverage.

I imagine her in her past life going to bars and drinking whatever she wanted, even 30-proof liquor.

Unfortunately, her mother was too good at taking pulses; she could tell whether a woman had been drinking just by placing her fingers on her wrist.

Lin Jinyue was really having a headache.

Fortunately, her mother was very busy during this time and had no time to take care of her.

He said he was going to open a clinic in Shawan County, and since his apprentices had been training him for a while, he wanted to find some patients for them to practice on.

Lin Jinyue poured a small bowl of water from the wooden bucket.

I tasted it, and what's the difference between it and fruit juice?

It has only a faint aroma of wine.

Lin Jinyue drank the fruit wine like a beverage, trying a little of every flavor.

Her favorite flavor is lychee, which is sweet but not cloying.

As Lin Jinyue drank, she started to feel dizzy.

The chair in front of me started to appear as a blur.

There seemed to be auditory hallucinations as well...

She heard her mother yelling at her.

"Lin Jinyue!!"

Lin Jinyue turned around and saw her mother standing behind her, her expression obscured. Still confused, she wondered, "Why are there two mothers?"

A damp towel was applied, and her drunkenness immediately subsided by a third.

"Lin Jinyue! What are you doing!"

Lin Jinyue looked at her mother, who was holding a broom!

Goodness, every time her mother calls her by her full name, nothing good ever happens.

Lin Jinyue jolted awake, instantly sobering up.

Her first instinct was to run, to run fast, she absolutely couldn't let her mother catch her.

But she was drunk and out of control of her body. She tripped over her own legs with her left and fell down.

Jiang Wan pinched her up and made her a hangover soup.

Lin Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief.

My head is spinning, but Mom probably isn't angry.

After Lin Jinyue finished drinking, she drifted off to sleep.

She didn't sleep for long, only about an hour.

When she woke up, she saw her mother looking at a medical book at the table, and her scalp tingled with fear.

Jiang Yun: "Copy these books ten times in a bit."

Lin Jinyue:! ! !

Her hands will break from copying so many books!
