Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi's relationship made a breakthrough. The next day, when Lu Lin woke up and wanted to deepen their feelings, he found that Chen Xiaomi was gone.
Lu Lin scratched his head, thinking to himself: Chen Xiaomi must have gone hunting. Going hunting on the first day of their marriage is an insult to his abilities.
Lu Lin looked around and found Chen Xiaomi chopping firewood in the backyard.
Chen Xiaomi's movements were not affected at all. She chopped wood as efficiently as ever, and a lot of chopped wood chips had already accumulated beside her. Judging from the situation, she had been busy for quite a while.
Seeing this, Lu Lin didn't disturb her and wisely went to cook. Chen Xiaomi's appetite was proportional to her strength. Lu Lin had always suspected that Chen Xiaomi was so capable, but she didn't live a very wealthy life because of her big appetite.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaomi is very active every day, and although she eats a lot, she doesn't gain weight.
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Lu Lin went out and found Liu Guiyong and his group.
"Old Liu, what brings you here?"
Liu Guiyong smiled awkwardly and said, "We've come to deliver something to you two."
Liu Guiyong put down the two large baskets of sweet potatoes, rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly, and said, "They're nothing valuable."
"Grandma Liu, you're too kind. We don't have any land at home, and I was just about to go to town to buy some sweet potatoes. I didn't expect you to bring them to us," Lu Lin said with a smile.
Liu Guiyong said somewhat embarrassedly, "There are too many of these this year, and the price is low, so they don't fetch a good price. However, I thought you two didn't have any space, so I brought them over for you to try. Although these sweet potatoes are a bit small, they are very sweet. I hope you won't mind them, Brother Lu."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, you're too kind. Such good food is probably not enough for us, so how could we possibly complain?"
Liu Guiyong smiled and said, "It's just a small thing, I'm glad you like it, Brother Lu."
Liu Wen, who was standing behind Liu Guiyong, was pleased to see Lu Lin. "Brother Lu, I brought you fish and meat."
Although Chen Xiaomi knows how to hunt and her family shouldn't lack meat, no one would complain about having too much meat.
"Why did you bring so much stuff? We're so embarrassed."
Liu Guiyong and the others quickly replied, "Of course, of course."
Liu Guiyong and his gang have made a lot of money recently by repairing kang beds. They think they can make so much money all thanks to Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi.
After thinking about it, Liu Guiyong felt that he could not be ungrateful, so he brought some sweet potatoes to Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin. In addition to sweet potatoes, the group also brought some radishes, cabbage, ten catties of meat, two fish and so on. They brought quite a lot of things, which was already very kind of them.
The news that Liu Guiyong and others had come to Chen Xiaomi's house to deliver things spread throughout the village, and the villagers reacted in various ways.
"Have you heard? The people of Dawan Village actually sent gifts to Chen Xiaomi, that wicked star, and quite a lot of them, including fish and meat."
"They learned how to repair kang beds from Chen Xiaomi. I heard that these guys have made a lot of money in the city. The rich people in the city are willing to pay high prices to sleep on a kang bed as soon as possible. Zhang Dazhu and his group have also made quite a bit of money recently."
"It seems Zhang Dazhu and the others didn't send anything to Chen Xiaomi!"
"What are you giving away! We're all from the same village. Chen Xiaomi has no conscience. He only knows how to give away such good things to outsiders."
"That's not quite right. The things belong to Chen Xiaomi, and he can teach them to whomever he wants. If we had gone to help Chen Xiaomi repair her house back then, that would have been better."
"This is also the fault of the village head. How could he refuse such a great thing without everyone's consent? If the villagers had built a house for Chen Xiaomi first, how could these outsiders have gotten a chance?"
"Dazhu and his friends are just like that, all they know is how to go to the city to make money, they don't even know how to teach the people in the village."
"Dazhu said he would teach in a few days, but almost a month has passed."
“Dazhu and the others probably earned several taels each. Why didn’t Chen Xiaomi choose me to repair his house back then?”
"Your son always bullies Chen Xiaocai and Chen Xiaomai, and he even wants Chen Xiaomi to make you do chores? You must be dreaming."
...
Chen Xiaomi's family is getting better and better. When the villagers mention Chen Xiaomi, many of them are envious. However, the villagers' reactions do not affect Chen Xiaomi.
...
The Chen family.
"Dawan Village has had a bumper sweet potato harvest this year!" Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Yes! It seems like a lot of people in town are selling this stuff, but the purchase price doesn't seem to be very high! It doesn't seem to be easy to preserve."
Sweet potatoes are sensitive to cold; if they freeze, they will harden in the center and need to be stored in a cellar during winter. However, they still spoil very easily.
"Is that so? How about we buy some sweet potatoes and make wine?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin with some curiosity and asked, "Can you brew wine?" He thought Lu Lin would only take wine from the convenience store and that it would be gone once it was sold out.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin with some surprise. Lu Lin smiled and said, "Yes!"
Lu Lin came from the countryside. When he was young, he also helped his father and mother brew sweet potato wine. However, as living conditions improved and beer and other alcoholic beverages became much cheaper, costing only one yuan for a large bottle, people gradually stopped bothering with that.
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin drove the mule cart to Hongyun Restaurant. This time, the two sold thirty jars of wine in one go, earning twenty-four taels of silver.
After receiving the twenty-four taels of silver, the two went to Dawan Village and bought a lot of sweet potatoes.
The villagers of Dawancun were worried about selling their sweet potatoes, but when someone came to buy them, they sold them all to Lu Lin.
Sweet potatoes cost five coins for two jin, and Lu Lin spent five liang to buy two thousand jin.
Lu Lin bought sweet potatoes, piling most of them at the convenience store, and putting the rest in the newly dug cellar as a mere formality.
Lu Lin gathered the three Chen brothers together to make sweet potato wine.
Although she made a lot of money selling alcohol at the convenience store, Chen Xiaomi always felt a little uncertain. This time, brewing wine directly gave her a sense of security. Brewing sweet potato wine is quite complicated and takes a long time. The wine can't be drunk immediately, but the group ate their fill of sweet potato porridge and roasted sweet potatoes.
