Seven or eight days passed like this, and all the loquat fruits in the back mountain had been picked and brought back. A lot of freshly made loquat paste was neatly placed under the eaves of the Lin family's house.

This is the last batch of loquat paste. It will be delivered to Jishidiang tomorrow. If you want to make this loquat paste again, you will have to wait until next year.

Today ended early, and Lin Qingshan's family all went back home, refusing to stay at the Lin family for dinner no matter what.

He just said that there were so many people in his family and it was impossible for them to eat and drink at the Lin family every day. It would cost a lot of food. Lin's father and mother could not persuade them and had to let them go back.

"It's okay, but remember to ask uncle and his family to come over for dinner tomorrow, and we'll buy some meat when we get back."

Tomorrow, after Jishidiang pays the final payment, the two families will settle the accounts of the past few days. It is time to divide the money. After being busy for so long, it is time to have a good meal to celebrate.

When Mother Lin heard what Lin Yunchu said, she knew that tomorrow's event should be celebrated properly. She nodded at Lin Yunchu and responded with a smile, "I understand. Don't worry."

Father Lin had already gone to Old Man Niu's house at this time. He would have to rent an ox cart for another day tomorrow. There were a lot of things to take to the town tomorrow, and it was worth spending thirty copper coins to make the three children more comfortable.

Now the family has earned some money. Lin's father is a man who loves his children very much. He is reluctant to let Lin Yunchu and the other two carry such heavy backpacks to go to the town. At most, their family will just have to eat less.

The next morning, Lin Yunchu and the other two went to the town.

There was no need to go to the back mountain to pick loquats today. Father and Mother Lin took Lin Changshun and Lin Changan, closed the courtyard gate, and planned to go to open up wasteland.

Lin Yunchu said that he wanted to grow more land to grow peppers. The Lin family didn't have much land to begin with, and other crops had already been planted during the spring plowing season.

It would not be cost-effective to dig up the wasteland and plant peppers again now, so Father Lin thought about reclaiming some wasteland in his free time and planting as much as he could.

Lin Qingshan brought Lin Cuizhi along to help. He heard Lin Cuizhi say that Yipintang wanted to buy chili peppers from the Lin family.

He thought this was a good thing and couldn't be delayed. They didn't have any urgent work to do in the fields, so he came over to help his younger brother with the land reclamation.

Whatever money-making business the Lin family had, they would take care of their family. Lin Qingshan always kept it in mind. He didn't talk much and didn't know how to thank his younger brother and his family.

But he was thinking about his younger brother's family affairs. What's more, this was just helping to open up the wasteland, which was not a big deal. It just took some effort. He had been farming all his life, so this was exactly what he was good at.

Lin Cuizhi had nothing to do, so she came along to help. She now had great respect for her cousin Lin Yunchu and had learned a lot from her.

"Although this wasteland isn't as fertile as my own land, I can still dry and burn these weeds, and then use them as fertilizer. It will be good to slowly manage it."

Looking at the wasteland being cleared bit by bit, Lin Qingshan said happily to Lin Wenshan that what the farmers value most is the fields.

Not only are these wastelands difficult to clean up, but they are also covered with grass roots, and the soil is dry and hard. Many families in the village look down on them.

If you have this free time, you might as well spend more time taking care of your own fields. Only those who really don’t have much land and are poor will come to reclaim wasteland.

However, Father Lin didn't think so. He believed that having more land was a good thing. As long as he put in a little more effort, he could produce a lot more food.

"Yes, Yun Chu said that he wanted to plant more peppers. There's really no other way. The rest of the land at home is planted with crops. We can't pull them out now."

Lin Qingshan lowered his head and dug a small piece of land. Then he squatted down and shook off the soil on the roots of the weeds and threw them aside.

When Lin Yunchu and the other two arrived in the town, they first sent the mushrooms to Yipintang, and then went directly to Jishidiang.

Baiji had been waiting for the three of them since early morning. Last time, Lin Yunchu said that the last batch of loquat paste would be delivered today, and the shopkeeper asked him to pay attention.

The loquat paste that Lin Yunchu sent over earlier has already been delivered to the provincial capital and Shangjing by the shopkeeper.

I heard that it sold very well in the provincial capital and was very popular among wealthy families, who paid high prices for it. This batch of loquat paste made a lot of money and also made Jishidiang famous.

After hearing the news, many people came to the shop to inquire.

"Sister Lin, the shopkeeper is not here today. He went out to collect herbs. Before he left, he asked me to wait for you in the shop."

Baiji is one year younger than Lin Yunchu, but he is tall and thin. He explained to Lin Yunchu with a smile on his face.

Although Lin Yunchu was a girl from a farming family, Baiji really admired her. Not only did she know about herbs, but she could also make things like loquat paste. Even the shopkeeper praised her in the shop every day.

"Okay, thank you very much."

Lin Yunchu thanked Baiji and said, "Here is the last batch of loquat paste. Please count it."

Lin Yunchu left a can for his own family and Lin Qingshan's family, and brought the rest.

Thinking of how Lin Qingshan and Xu had repeatedly refused yesterday, Lin Yunchu had to persuade them for a long time before they accepted it.

This jar cost one or two taels of silver, and the two of them felt very sad when they thought about keeping it for themselves.

Baiji was in charge every time Lin Yunchu came. This time, the inventory was also very quick. It was done in a short while and Lin Yunchu was paid.

He also repeated the shopkeeper's words before leaving, asking Lin Yunchu to send it to him if he had anything in the future.

Lin Yunchu agreed to everything and then left.

"Should we go straight home or go to the market?"

Lin Changting asked Lin Yunchu.

"Let's go to the market and buy some meat first, then go to the rice shop and buy some flour. Chang'an said he wanted to eat the dumplings I made, so I'll make some for him tomorrow."

Everyone in the family has been very busy recently, so it's a good time to make something delicious for everyone to try. The dumplings made by Lin Yunchu are very popular among the Lin family.

It just so happens that all the loquats have been picked now, so I have some free time to make some delicious food.

After hearing Lin Yunchu's words, a smile appeared on Lin Changting's lips, and he nodded.

Lin Yunchu specially bought some extra meat and saved some for making dumplings tomorrow.

As soon as the clerk in the rice shop saw Lin Yunchu, he immediately put down the work he was doing and hurried forward to greet him.

"The girl is here. She needs to buy some candy today. The shop just got a new batch of candy this morning."

Lin Yunchu had bought almost all the candies in the shop before. This was the newly arrived goods. It was such a precious thing that Lin Yunchu bought more than ten kilograms at a time.

I originally thought she was just an ordinary farm girl, but I didn't expect her to be a big client.

Lin Yunchu smiled and shook her head. She wasn't here to buy candy today. "No more candy for now. Give me ten kilograms of flour."
