After breakfast, Grandma Jiang instructed Hu, "Eldest daughter-in-law, have you finished wrapping the flatbreads? We won't be going home for lunch today; we'll just grab something to eat on the mountain."

Madam Hu nodded, "Mother, the flatbreads are all wrapped up, and the bamboo tubes are filled with water. Even Wan'er and the others are ready."

"Alright, alright. Everyone, go and get ready; we'll head up the mountain in a bit."

"Yes, Mother."

After everyone left the table, only Zhu and Hu were left to clean up the dishes.

Today, it was Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Xun, and Uncle Jiang who went to town again. Jiang Jialin, Jiang He, and Jiang Hu stayed home to make mosquito coils. The rest of the people went up the mountain to cut mugwort and peel elm bark.

The Jiang family members who were going up the mountain began to prepare the tools they would need, while Jiang Wanwan, her second uncle, and Jiang Xun also started preparing things to go to town.

Uncle Jiang led the ox to the outside of the courtyard gate, and Jiang Xun helped him hitch up the oxcart.

Jiang Wanwan returned to her room, closed the doors and windows, opened the online store, and ordered a large batch of mosquito coil bags to take to town to pack mosquito coils later.

Jiang Wanwan put the mosquito coil sachet into her basket and then carried the basket out of the house.

At this time, the sky was beginning to lighten.

Grandma Jiang and the others carried dry food and water, and took their wood-chopping knives as they left their homes.

Jiang Wanwan and her two companions were selling mosquito coils, so there was no need to rush to town. They only needed to arrive in town at 9:00 AM.

It's only the middle of the Mao hour (6:00 AM), and there's still an hour and a half until the Si hour. There's still plenty of time.

Therefore, Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Xun, and Jiang Erbo helped each other make mosquito coils.

Soon, an hour passed, and it was time for Jiang Wanwan and the other two to prepare their things for going to town.

Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xun were carrying mosquito coils from the stove in the kitchen and loading them onto the oxcart.

Because there were more mosquito coils today than yesterday, three large buckets were filled to the brim.

Jiang Wanwan pondered that the number of shops ordering mosquito coils would only increase in the future, and it would probably be inconvenient to use these wooden barrels to store the goods. It seemed that buying a batch of large wooden barrels was an urgent matter.

She walked over, put the basket on her back behind the oxcart, and said to Uncle Jiang, "Uncle, after we sell today's mosquito coils, let's buy a few large wooden barrels as tall as a person to store them. Otherwise, if shops order more from us in the future, we won't have enough barrels to transport the mosquito coils."

“Alright, we’ll go buy some mosquito coils after we sell them,” Uncle Jiang said readily, jumping onto the cart shaft. “Wan’er, Xun’er, you two get on the cart too, let’s set off now.”

"Hey, Second Uncle, wait a minute." Jiang Wanwan remembered something, left a sentence, and hurried towards the woodshed.

Jiang Xun, not understanding what was going on, followed Jiang Wanwan over.

"Wanwan, where are you going?"

Jiang Wanwan rushed into the woodshed, saying, "Come help me move some straw."

Jiang Xun asked in confusion, "What are you going to do with the straw? Feed it to our cow? Hey, Uncle Er already cut some fresh grass to feed it this morning, we don't need this dry straw."

“This straw isn’t for the oxen to eat; it’s for them to sleep on in the oxcart! Our oxcart is spacious enough that we can lay some straw down and catch up on some sleep. I don’t want to sit idly in the oxcart like yesterday, swaying all the way to town. That’s too tiring.”

If she weren't worried about her family finding out, Jiang Wanwan would definitely buy a cushion at the mall and spread it on the oxcart to lie down comfortably.

Jiang Xun's eyes lit up. "Hey, how come I didn't think of that?"
