After transmigrating, Lin Yun-chu didn't even have time to feel sentimental before realizing that this peasant family was truly, utterly poor. They lived hand-to-mouth, their thin porridge was ...
"My elder brother and I were at Yipin Pavilion just now. Since it was noon, I brought you lunch."
Because they had rescued Xiao Er together in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, the two of them were now familiar with each other. Lin Yunchu didn't say much and handed the food box over directly.
Thinking of how Lin Yunchu had come to the Lu family to deliver food to himself and Xiao Er before, Lu Yanzhou's heart moved slightly, and he immediately thought of the time when Xiao Er had not left.
She reached out and took it skillfully, then put the lunch box aside. She touched the cloth bag and muttered, "Grandma, this is really hard on the eyes. And Auntie too. It's still hot now, why bother making a coat so early?"
Although his words were full of complaints, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Lin Yunchu didn't expose him, and said in a loud voice: "They are also thinking about you, these will always be useful."
"That's right, just focus on your studies and don't worry about anything else."
Lin Changting also comforted him, saying that the most important thing for Lu Yanzhou now was to prepare for the autumn examination with peace of mind. All the years of hard study depended on this one chance.
Listening to Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting's caring words, Lu Yanzhou put aside his usual taciturn appearance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a smile on his lips.
I raised my hand and brushed the cloth bag, feeling a surge of warmth in my heart.
When I went to the town to study in the past, I did everything alone. Since the Lin family and Yipin Pavilion cooperated, Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting often came to the academy to visit me.
Or they would bring something for him, such as food or daily necessities. Whenever Lin's father and mother prepared something good for Lin Changping and the others, they would always remember to buy one for him.
Lu Yanzhou has always been very grateful in his heart, so whenever he returned to Qingxi Village, he would go to the Lin family to help with work, even if they were reluctant to do the heavy work for him.
But I always have to do my best to feel at ease. Grandma often reminds me that when he is not at home, the Lin family often comes to take care of her.
This is why I can study in the town with peace of mind. Lu Yanzhou has always been a man who values ​​friendship.
Lin Yunchu and the other person talked with Lu Yanzhou for a long time outside the academy. Seeing that it was getting late, they hurriedly urged Lu Yanzhou to go into the academy.
"Brother Yanzhou, please go in first. My brother and I will go back first. If we are any later, my parents will be worried at home."
Lin Yunchu was planning to go back early and tell his family about the snails deal he had made with Yipintang today.
Lu Yanzhou nodded. It was indeed getting late and they still had to hurry back.
As it was getting dark, Lin Yunchu and the others didn't bother to buy anything else and hurried back to Qingxi Village.
As soon as the two arrived at the gate of their yard, they heard bursts of talking coming from the yard, which sounded like their uncle's family.
Lin Yunchu jumped off the ox cart and walked quickly into his yard. When he opened the gate, he saw that the whole family was in the yard. Lin Changping and Lin Changshun were squatting beside the wooden basin and washing snails.
As she expected, there seemed to be quite a few snails in the wooden basin. They must have gone to the river again today. Lin Cuizhi had just finished washing the fragrant leaves in her hand.
When he stood up, he saw Lin Yunchu pushing the door open and entering. His brows immediately lit up with joy, and he hurriedly exclaimed: "Yunchu, you are back."
"Look, my brother and I have picked up a lot of snails. Let's have fried snails tonight."
After Lin Cuizhi finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yunchu eagerly, fearing that she would disagree. They had been eating for two days in a row.
She couldn't sit idle today even though she had some free time, so she asked her elder brother and Lin Changshun to go and pick up a lot of them. She also went to the back mountain to pick some fragrant leaves.
At this moment, Lin Changping and Lin Changshun had just cleaned the snails they had picked up today, enough for them to have another meal in the evening.
Lin Yunchu looked around at the few people, and saw that Lin Changping and Lin Changshun lowered their heads and their faces felt slightly hot when they saw Lin Yunchu's eyes.
They were not greedy people, but they could not resist Lin Cuizhi's persuasion and went along with her. Thinking of the taste of the fried snails two days ago, they really couldn't help but go along.
Lin Yunchu thought that he had already discussed the new dishes with Xue Jingran today, so it would be a good opportunity to talk about it with everyone in the evening.
"Okay, I'll do it later and call my uncle and the others."
After saying that, he turned around and whispered to Pan Xiuxiu beside him, "Sister-in-law, ask Uncle Pan to come for dinner tonight."
Lin Yunchu knew that if he didn't tell her, Father Pan would never come no matter what.
Mr. Pan was stubborn and always worried that if he came to the Lin family too often, Pan Xiuxiu would be gossiped about by other people in the village. He also didn't want to add too much burden to the Lin family.
He was always reluctant to ask for help for things that Zi'er could handle himself, so it was always Lin Changping who went to the Pan family to help.
"Oh, oh, okay, I'll go right away."
Pan Xiuxiu looked at Lin Yunchu's serious expression, as if he had something to say, so she didn't refuse anymore. After she finished speaking, she went out and rushed towards the Pan family.
Knowing that Lin Yunchu had been busy in town for half a day, Lin Cuizhi and Zhao Chunxi only asked her to make some fried snails, and the other dishes were made by the two of them.
I have learned a lot from Lin Yunchu on weekdays. Although the taste of the dishes I cook is not as good as Lin Yunchu's, it is still acceptable.
When Pan's father and Lin Qingshan's family arrived, dinner was ready.
Lin Yunchu was not in a hurry to talk about what happened today, and had dinner happily with everyone.
After dinner and packing up everything, Lin Yunchu finally spoke.
"Did these snails really sell?"
After listening to what Lin Yunchu said today, Lin Cuizhi widened her eyes and screamed in surprise.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qingshan glared at her sideways.
Why is this kid so noisy and talking so loudly? He is not as steady as Yun Chu at all.
Although Lin Qingshan was a little shocked, he had already prepared himself mentally for what Lin Yunchu said. This kid has so many ideas that he can even open a workshop. What is impossible for him?
But he didn't expect that the snails they had been eating these days, as Yun Chu had just said, would actually be sold to Yipintang.
The taste of this thing is really great, but the snail shell is big and the meat is small, and it is not a rare thing. I didn't expect it to be able to sell well.
Lin Cuizhi was not unhappy when Lin Qingshan glared at her, but was very happy instead.
It would be a good thing to sell it. If it can be sold to Yipintang, the income will be quite a lot. She didn't expect that the thing she brought back to Lin Yunchu that day was not only delicious, but also could be sold.
Then she also has some credit for this. Thinking of this, Lin Cuizhi felt happy.
No, Lin Cuizhi quickly came to her senses. If she had known that this thing could be sold, she would not have eaten it tonight. How much money would it cost?
Lin Cuizhi pouted, looking regretful. She blinked at Lin Yunchu, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
