"Ali, wake up!"
The next day, Chen Xinli heard her mother calling her while she was still asleep.
She wanted to continue sleeping in, but thinking of yesterday's arrangements, Chen Xinli quickly packed up and got up.
Daddy once said: Although the family can eat the eggs and fruits she takes out from the space every day, there must also be visible income.
Otherwise, even if the villagers don't say anything on the surface, they will make groundless speculations behind your back.
Chen Xinli couldn't help but praise her father's wisdom.
Can you?
There is no food left at home now. When she went up the mountain yesterday, she could already guess that this month was destined to be difficult.
Every household is waiting for the wheat to mature.
But due to lack of water, the wheat grains were shriveled.
Chen Xinli didn't know much about farming. In her previous life, she lived in the south and grew rice.
But I heard my eldest brother mention it over and over again in the past two days.
Water is extremely critical for wheat grain filling, otherwise the grains will not develop fully and the weight of the wheat ears will be reduced.
Production cuts, even large-scale ones, are an impending reality.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinli instantly realized that in this era where people depend on the weather for their livelihood, the fate of the people at the bottom of society is extremely cruel.
If there is another famine in the north, I am afraid that we won’t even be able to find a place to buy food, let alone make money.
Therefore, the most important thing right now is that the family must have money and food.
It would be best if she could store some food in her space.
Otherwise, if a famine really happens, it would be too terrible. I would be powerless and carrying a secret. If it were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, I would definitely become the target of public criticism.
Thinking of the terrible situation, Chen Xinli's belief in making money quickly became more firm.
Even the dark sky outside is no longer so offensive to me.
Mrs. Wu couldn't see what her daughter was thinking.
But looking at her daughter's thin body and sleepy eyes made her feel distressed.
Ever since my daughter woke up, her temperament has changed a lot. She has a subtle feeling of being a little adult.
Looking at her daughter who had become more sensible, Mrs. Wu couldn't help feeling guilty.
She didn't understand the world of fairies, even though her daughter told them that they could exchange things from the fairies' magic weapons and persuaded them to sell eggs.
But she and her husband were still worried that if they accidentally angered the gods one day, it would bring trouble to their daughter.
It’s all because my husband and I are incompetent, and our children have to suffer with us!
"Ali, take these ten cents. When you get to town, buy whatever you want to eat. Don't starve yourself."
"Mom, I don't need it. We are going to town to make money!"
Chen Xinli was used to being independent in her previous life, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But when he saw A Niang's somewhat disappointed expression, he took the money and A Niang immediately became happy.
After breakfast, the two families began to divide their work.
Because they didn't want others to know that they were selling eggs, the Shen family planned to let the uncle and nephew go earlier.
Then Shen Fugui was responsible for weaving bamboo fans at home, while Wu Yuehua and her sisters-in-law were responsible for dyeing the bamboo strips, picking dye grass, and watering the wheat fields today.
Although the family was unsure how much money they could make from the bamboo fan business, they were all certain that it was a viable business.
If all else fails, you can still sell eggs!
These can all make money!
Zhang Fangju watched the three people walking away, and some thoughts began to arise in her mind.
I wonder if my niece taking out so many eggs at once will make the gods unhappy.
Fortunately, he was a bald god, so it was a blessing in disguise.
***
Qianniu Village was still immersed in the hazy moonlight.
The distant mountains cast a huge shadow of a cow, as if it was about to swallow up the entire village.
The dry wind blew towards me, bringing a hint of coolness.
Shen Fuyu and Shen Jinshan were walking on the road carrying their loads. They were very excited and walked faster and faster.
Chen Xinli followed behind, running with her short legs, barely able to keep up with the two of them.
After a while, she was exhausted and out of breath.
On the other hand, my second uncle and eldest brother acted as if nothing had happened.
"Ali, sit there and take a break."
"No, brother, I can still hold on."
Seeing the two of them each carrying such a heavy burden without saying a word, Chen Xinli silently cheered herself up.
Seeing that his sister was already sweating all over her face, Shen Jinshan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
If I had known earlier, I would have let my sister wait for Uncle Xu’s ox cart, so that he and my second uncle could go to the town first.
At the moment, my second uncle’s two large round bamboo baskets are difficult to move easily for fear that the eggs will break. Here, one round basket contains a bamboo fan, and the other contains a bamboo basket, which are also difficult to move.
Shen Fuyou also felt a little regretful.
But if he let his niece wait here alone, it wasn't even fully light yet, and he was more worried about the child's safety.
The uncle and nephew had to slow down their pace as much as possible so that the little girl could keep up.
After receiving countless encouragements of "almost there", Chen Xinli was already questioning her life and her legs were shaking.
When I have money in the future, I must buy a carriage.
Chen Xinli silently added an item to her shopping list, not realizing how much a carriage would cost in this era.
Stone Town is the only town among several nearby villages.
It was more than ten miles away from Qianniu Village. When the uncle and nephew finally arrived, it was already dawn.
It was still early and there were not many people setting up stalls at the market.
"Ali, that's where they sell wontons."
"That's where they sell pancakes and buns."
Knowing that it was his niece's first time in town, Shen Fuyou excitedly introduced things to her like a shopping guide.
The country bumpkin Chen Xinli felt that the town in front of him was a little different from what he had imagined.
