The shopkeeper was already very kind; he didn't say they were wasting their time and told them to go look elsewhere.
When Guai Bao heard this, she was thunderstruck and couldn't believe what she had heard. How could this be? This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Why is it different from what's written in the novel? Wasn't it supposed to be easy to earn tens of taels of silver?
Seeing her child's disappointed look, the old lady quickly comforted her, "It's alright, let's go look at other places, thank you shopkeeper."
Fortunately, they didn't touch any materials, otherwise we would have had to pay for the materials.
The shopkeeper didn't make things difficult for them and let them leave.
Mo Yan and the others had already left the restaurant, but... how could that transmigrated darling think that making money so easily was possible?
Mo Yan took the children to the county government office. The farm tools they had made last time were praised, and they received some silver. They also received a set of farm tools that had been made and delivered to their home. Mo Yan's family now had a memory of being associated with the county magistrate.
Mo Yan took the children back to prepare to start working.
On the way back, one of the officials said that if there was anything in the future, they could come directly to them, and of course, they could also take the blueprints to the county magistrate.
Mo Yan thanked the other party and gave them some useful information.
The recipient was quite happy to receive the dried mushrooms and chestnuts.
Anyway, it's food.
When the villagers saw that officials were escorting the mother and her children back, they were very curious.
Mo Yan didn't say anything, but the officials told them not to ask any questions. At this time, they were still very afraid of the officials, but some people still went to ask Mo Yan.
"Mo Yan, why are you being escorted here by government officials? Do you know them?"
They even wondered if Mo Yan wanted to remarry.
Mo Yan looked directly at the other person. "I'm sorry, the officer said we can't tell anyone else. Why don't you go ask him yourself?"
The other party stopped talking, and they dared not ask any further questions.
After they left, Mo Yan put all the tools back in the house, then took out some pig's blood and prepared to make them a spicy blood curd dish.
Indeed, they didn't have many of the ingredients, but they found chili peppers in the mountains. Mo Yan had brought them back earlier, dried them, kept the seeds, and turned all the chili pepper shells into chili powder.
They also found a lot of medicinal herbs, processed them all, and will use them to make braising sauce later.
Before long, Mo Yan made a delicious and colorful blood curd dish, which also included potatoes and green beans. Mo Yan planned to sprout some bean sprouts herself and make tofu when she had time in the future.
Actually, bean sprouts are the easiest to grow. Just take sand out of the river and put it in a cool place where it won't be exposed to the sun.
Block the surrounding area with stones, then layer sand and mung beans, or even soybeans. Water it daily, and after a week you'll have delicious bean sprouts to eat. However, there's a slight drawback: once you're ready to eat them, you must pull them all up, or they'll grow legs!
The children were somewhat shocked when they saw the bright red vegetables.
"Mother, what is this?"
"Pig's blood, little sister, didn't you recognize it?" Da Hua was getting impatient and wanted to try it as soon as possible.
"I didn't realize the color was so beautiful." Xiao Cao genuinely didn't notice; they never used to collect pig's blood when slaughtering pigs.
"Then you guys try it. There's another bowl of non-spicy food over here. If you can't handle this, you can eat the non-spicy one over there."
Mo Yan had thought it through; fearing the children wouldn't be able to handle chili peppers, she also made a non-spicy version.
When life is tough, good food can heal all the unpleasantness.
Several children tried it, and the first bite was so spicy that they kept wanting to drink water, but gradually they wanted to eat more and more.
"Mommy, this tastes so amazing! My tongue feels like it's on fire, but I still really want to eat it. It tastes so good!"
"Take your time the first time you try it. You'll get used to it."
The children ate a lot, and Mo Yan brewed tea for them.
After we finish eating, let's discuss school arrangements.
"As you can see, we got a good price today. I'm thinking of visiting the Master. Da Hua and Xiao Hua, you two go back to your studies."
Xiao Hua shook her head and looked at Mo Yan first, saying, "Mother, I don't want to go. I want to learn about farm tools from you, and also about the mud in our yard. It's so smooth that it's fine even when it rains, there won't be any mud."
"And the bows and arrows you made, I want to continue studying them, so that I can make various time-saving and labor-saving farm tools in the future."
After listening, Mo Yan nodded, first affirming his idea, "Yes, your idea is very good, and Mother appreciates it. But have you thought about whether you can understand the drawings that Mother showed you before?"
Xiaohua: "..."
This is a bit awkward; he didn't know.
"Do you know that you need to draw such blueprints in order to make farm tools exactly the same as them? But to make them, you have to learn a lot of things."
Your maternal grandfather traveled to many places, visited many people, and learned a lot of knowledge before leaving behind those blueprints. If you can't even understand the blueprints, how can you do it?
Perhaps you could make an exact replica of these existing farm tools, but is that all you want? Do you just want to keep imitating? Or do you want to learn something new, to research it yourself? Think about it carefully.
Then Mo Yan looked at Da Hua, wanting to know what he was thinking.
"Mother, your son wants to study and take the imperial examination in the future. He hopes to pass the exam and give you a better life."
Mo Yan was very pleased to hear this and reached out to pat his head. "Actually, you want me to study, not necessarily so that you can become outstanding or pass the exams. I just want you to be able to read and write and learn how to be a good person."
Having a skill is essential for establishing oneself in the future, isn't it?
I also hope that you can teach your younger sister to read and write, so that she can learn a skill in the future and have a better life.
In fact, neither men nor women should place their hopes on others. As long as they have the ability, they need not fear any storms.
Your mother once thought that your father was reliable and hardworking, and that we could live a good life. But what happened?
He may be able to work, but do you see that Mother is still able to lean on him?
Mother was wrong from the beginning. She shouldn't have relied on anyone or placed her future in someone else's hands.
Your mother should have taken you away long ago so that you could have a better life.
Little Grass, your mother is so sorry, I've made you suffer so much.
Little Grass's eyes reddened, tears welling up and threatening to spill over. She kept shaking her head, "No, Mother has always loved her daughter."
