Lin Cuizhi and Zhao Chunxi were also quick-witted. After watching Lin Yunchu do it once, they almost learned it. Lin Yunchu then let go and let the two of them do the rest of the bamboo shoots themselves.

After one round, she had learned most of it. As long as she did it a few more times, she would be able to do it with ease. After that, she could rest assured and leave the matter to the two of them.

Seeing the satisfied look on Lin Yunchu's face, Lin Cuizhi and the others were also very happy, and they secretly made up their minds to do this well.

The monthly wages are more than 300 wen, and the combined wages of the two of them are more than half a tael of silver. In their free time, they can also help pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots at home, and still earn a lot of money.

The more Lin Cuizhi thought about it, the higher the corners of her mouth rose, and her grin never let go. Her life at home was getting better and better with her uncle's family.

If this continues, it won’t be long before my family can afford an ox cart like the Lin family.

A few days ago, our family brought home two little piglets. My uncle and his family helped build the pigpen, so we can eat the New Year pigs during the Chinese New Year this year.

If this had happened in the past, she would not even dare to think about it. Now that the family has enough food and clothing, she and her sister-in-law will naturally do their best to help complete the task that Yun Chu has assigned them.

Lin Yunchu had no idea that in just a short while, his cousin had already thought of so many things. She had explained everything about the bamboo shoots and bay leaves to the two of them.

From now on, she will let the three of them help with the snail matter, and she will feel at ease.

On the other hand, the village head took Lin's father to talk about this matter from house to house in the village.

When everyone first heard what the village head and Lin's father said, they were so shocked that their eyes widened, just like the village head's expression when he heard Lin Yunchu's words at noon.

His face was full of disbelief. This one pound for two cents, the Lin family must have too much money and don't know where to spend it, so why would they want something that no one wants in the river?

However, no one dared to say this out loud. Seeing the village head's happy expression, if they dared to speak so carelessly, they would probably be scolded by the village head immediately.

Having such a good thing, they still dare to gossip about the Lin family. But the Lin family doesn't know what the use of this thing is, and they are willing to pay such a high price for it.

"The Wenshan family has their own uses for these snails, so you don't need to worry about it. Just make them according to their requirements."

The village head was afraid that the villagers would not be grateful and would upset the Lin family, so he hurried to explain.

"The Wenshan family is a good family. They haven't forgotten us even though their lives are better. Everyone, please don't be ungrateful."

The head of the village suddenly looked stern, and while Lin Wenshan was out, he said something earnestly to the people in the village.

As soon as the words fell, everyone came to their senses and thought carefully. They felt that what the headman said made sense.

If the Lin family didn't consider that everyone was from the same village, they wouldn't be able to take care of everyone so much. They also helped to grow potatoes and paid high wages as workshop workers.

Now when it comes to picking snails, the first people who come to mind are the villagers, and the money they pay is not low. If the Lin family spreads the word about this job, many people from all over the place will rush to do it.

How could it be their turn? After all, the Lin family is kind-hearted. Even when their own lives are better, they don’t forget to help everyone else.

If they are still so ungrateful, it would really be a waste of the Lin family's kindness.

When I think about the fact that I can pick up snails until winter, there are still several months left. How much money can I save? I am afraid I can have a good and comfortable winter this year.

Thinking of this, everyone nodded in unison to the headmaster, vying to express their opinions: "We understand, you can rest assured about this matter."

"Yes, don't worry, we will do our best."

"Yes, I know a place with lots of snails. I'm going there right now."

One of the men had a look of joy on his face. He had seen this thing in the river outside before, and he didn't expect that he could make money with it.

He had to go earlier so that he could pick up more and earn more money.

"I...I know that too. I'll go too. I'll go home and get the bucket."

Seeing this, everyone turned around and went home to get things to catch the snails, and they couldn't wait to go down to the river to pick up the snails.

I didn't know this thing was called snail before. From what the headman said just now, this thing is edible, but now it is worth two cents per pound. Who would be willing to eat it?

They all quickly picked up the meat and went to the Lin family to sell it for silver. The most important thing was to use the money to buy a piece of meat for the children at home to have as a snack.

When Lin Wenshan came back, the crowd had dispersed and only the village head was waiting for him.

"Why... why are all the guys leaving?"

The village head waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is going to work quickly. Don't worry about what you said. Everyone will do their best to do it well."

Even if Lin Wenshan didn't say anything about this, he would still visit the Lin family from time to time. If anyone dared to cheat and make up the number by not cleaning the snails clean before sending them to the Lin family, he would see how he would teach those people a lesson.

The Lin family is doing this for everyone, so the money they give is high. If there is someone so heartless as to cheat others, he can deal with that person without the Lin family saying a word.

With the headman's words, today's matter was finally resolved. Lin Wenshan finally put his mind at ease and returned to the Lin family without delay after finishing the matter.

There is still a lot of work to do in his own fields, and he dare not delay. When he has free time, he can go to the river to pick up some snails, which can save his family some money.

Although his family is not short of this little money now, Lin Wenshan, who has suffered for half his life, is used to being frugal, so he saves a lot every time.

The next day.

People started coming to the Lin family one after another, bringing cleaned snails and waiting for Pan's father, Lin Cuizhi and the other two to check them. If there were no problems, they would weigh them and pay them on the spot.

A woman held the silver money paid by Zhao Chunxi in her hand, with a smile on her face, and she finally felt relieved.

The Lin family's collection of snails was absolutely true. She was a little worried yesterday, but now the money is truly in her hands.

The men in the family could only earn ten cents a day working as odd jobs in town. She went to the river to pick up some coins for a while yesterday, and she counted them and found six cents.

If she spent more time, she could earn more than her husband could earn by doing odd jobs outside. No, she had to go home quickly. With this distracted time, she could pick up more snails.

When the people behind saw the woman leaving happily, they immediately rushed forward and asked Pan's father and others to help look after the snails their son brought.

"Everyone, don't worry, come one by one."

Lin Cuizhi waved her hand and raised her voice to speak loudly to the people in the yard.
