"Auntie, are you processing eels? You're throwing away the eel's internal organs? And you still have to clean them? It's that simple?"
"My dear aunt, please tell me in detail how this eel was prepared?"
“My dear lady, we’re family. You must tell me properly how to process these crickets. How can you tell outsiders about how to make money? It’s better to tell our own family. Wouldn’t it be better if we made money together as a family?”
Everyone else watched Yue Jiuyue's family busy themselves, or helped out, and learned and asked questions about the preparation method. Only the original owner's second sister-in-law killed the conversation with a single sentence and offended everyone in the village.
The last time the whole village dug up medicinal herbs, only their family didn't take it seriously. Only their children followed suit and dug some. Fortunately, the money from the sale was divided equally among the whole village, otherwise their family definitely wouldn't have gotten a single copper coin.
So, when she heard that Yue Jiuyue was leading the digging for earthworms, this second sister-in-law immediately took it to heart. She took her whole family up the mountain and searched for a whole day. She was afraid that the earthworms would die, rot, or be wasted. That's why she set foot on the land she hadn't set foot on in ten years, hoping to secretly listen to Yue Jiuyue explain how to prepare earthworms.
But then she had a sudden thought: Lin Yueshi was a member of the Lin family, so the method of processing earthworms belonged to the Lin family. Why should she tell the whole village about it? Wouldn't it be better to keep this money-making method to herself and make money herself?
That's why I said those things before.
Everyone else was eager to know how to prepare earthworms, so no one paid her any attention.
Yue Jiuyue didn't notice what the original owner's second sister-in-law was saying. There were just too many people there, chattering away and making her head buzz.
"Ladies and aunties, please be quiet and listen to me!"
This method of processing earthworms wasn't something my third brother learned from the clinic, nor did he know how. But it was getting dark, and there wasn't time to go to the clinic in town to ask a doctor, so I thought of the method of drying fish and dried these earthworms as small dried fish.
To be honest, I don't know if this is the right thing to do, or if the clinic will accept it. I just don't want to waste these crickets. If the clinic doesn't accept them, I can keep them for myself.
So, ladies and aunties, if you want to learn, it's very simple: just wash it clean, suffocate it with wood ash, remove its internal organs, wash it again, and dry it in the sun.
"Alright, it's getting dark. Those who want to try should hurry back so as not to waste oil lamps."
Yue Jiuyue explained how to prepare earthworms in a simple sentence. Some people thought the method was feasible and went home to do it. Others thought it was unreliable, but were afraid of wasting their time, so they hesitated for a while and went home as well.
In the end, only the original owner's second sister-in-law remained in Yue Jiuyue's family.
"Hey, third brother's wife, are you trying to fool those old women on purpose? Tell me right now how you made the eel!"
Yue Jiuyue stared at the person for a long time before she realized who he was.
The main reason is that since the family split up, the original owner has never seen anyone from the Lin family again. The original owner's family usually fetches water from the ancient well, and the wasteland they have cultivated is all in the back mountain, where they are the only family's land. It's really not easy to run into them.
In addition, there is a ten-year gap between them. The fact that she could recognize who the person in front of her was all thanks to her youth, good memory, and quick thinking!
