Chapter 30 Autumn Harvest 1



"Give me a pound of pork head! I'm going to work at my father-in-law's house today!"

"I also want two pounds of stewed meat and one pound of pig's head meat!"

The braised pork is selling very fast today. Sister Yuying is almost overwhelmed. She keeps making pancakes without even having time to rest.

After being busy for two or three hours, the number of people gradually decreased. Lin Wanwan thought that people around her would have opinions, but unexpectedly, everyone praised her.

Originally there were only a few people at the morning market every day, but until she came, the number of people coming to the morning market increased several times, and they could also sell their goods earlier and go home.

Lin Wanwan went to the vegetable stall and took a look. There were quite a lot of varieties on sale, including onions, garlic, cabbage, sunflower greens, leeks, water spinach, bean sprouts, pea seedlings, and cowpeas. There were also some wild vegetables. She even saw cucumbers, but the uncultivated cucumbers had thick skin and less flesh inside, with half of the fruit being pulp. However, they were all pure natural and pollution-free green food. Lin Wanwan bought some and planned to cook and try them when she got home.

We ended early today and sold out in less than three hours. Then we went to get the offal. It would probably be around ten o'clock when they got back.

As soon as Li Yuying got home, she took a sickle and went straight to the fields, trying to harvest as much as possible. Lin Wanwan also pulled a donkey cart to help, and by the way, they took the opportunity to get to know their own fields.

The rice fields were bustling with activity, with young and old in the whole family joining in the work. The children, unable to lift sickles, used small baskets to pick up the fallen rice ears.

Lin Wanwan first went to help Sister Yuying's family and pulled the bundles of rice to the yard to dry.

Lin Bai was also carrying a small basket and following Lin Ping'an to pick up rice ears. When he heard Lin Wanwan and Sister Yuying talking, he hurried over.

"Xiaobai, are you helping to pick up wheat ears? Are you hungry?"

Lin Bai shook his little head and said, "Sister, I'm not hungry. Brother Ping'an and I will go to the yard with you to watch!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Lin Ping'an and Lin Bai followed her to take up space and watched from there to prevent any confusion.

Then she saw Shen Mo's family also harvesting rice. Lin Wanwan waved to him, and Shen Mo dropped the rice in his hand and walked towards her.

"Shen Mo, are you going to take the rice to the yard?"

Shen Mo shook his head. "No need for now. My mother and I collected the goods this morning, so we didn't collect much. I'll borrow your donkey cart when the helpers we hired come in the afternoon."

"Okay then, just call me. I'll go help someone else first!"

"Okay, go ahead."

When Shen Mo returned to the field, Sun Zhenzhu snorted coldly, "That little vixen is looking for your brother again? Humph, she just bought a donkey cart, what's the point of showing off!"

Shen Mo said expressionlessly, "No, she came to ask if we wanted to take the rice to the yard, and I said we would do it together in the afternoon."

Sun Zhenzhu relaxed her brows, still said unhappily: "She still has some sense. If she comes again in the future, I won't scold her."

Shen Mo said nothing and continued to cut the rice.

Before lunch, Lin Wanwan delivered the rice of several families to the yard. She saw Chen Li was also there, cleaning the rice scale used for weighing with the village head. Seeing that they were busy, Lin Wanwan did not go to say hello. She led the donkey home to cook.

Lin Wanwan went back and poured the stewed soup in the deep pot into the big pot, preparing to stew a few pieces of meat. Today's stewed meat was sold out, leaving only the soup. After deducting 4 taels of money from buying the pig offal, there was more than 7 taels left. It seemed that she was still making a lot of money.

She kneaded another bowl of dough to ferment, and used the time to stew a bowl of Chinese cabbage in the broth, and fried a bowl of green onions and eggs. After the frying was almost done, she baked two more pancakes and put the chopped meat in them. She covered the vegetables and boiled some green bean soup in a deep pot.

I served two bowls of dishes and had lunch with roujiamo.

After dinner, she took out some ice cubes from the space refrigerator and put them into the mung bean soup, which cooled down in a short while. She took out two bowls of food, as Xiaobai and Ping'an couldn't eat much either.

The autumn heat outside was still very strong. Sister Yuying and her family had not come back for dinner and were still cutting rice under the scorching sun. She would go and bring them some lunch first.

When I went to the fields and looked, I found that they were all there. Some families just asked the elderly to go back and cook some food and bring it to the fields to feed the two of them.

Lin Wanwan brought the food to them. Li Yuying took it and was so moved that she didn't know what to say and kept praising her.

Lin Wanwan scooped some mung bean soup for them, fearing that they would get heatstroke in the middle of the day, and the two of them happily took it and drank it.

Then she brought a large bucket of mung bean soup and scooped a few bowls for everyone she saw to prevent them from getting heatstroke.

When she arrived at the edge of Shen Mo's field, she saw Shen Li was also there. The three of them were working hard. They might not have eaten yet. Fortunately, she had prepared a lot for lunch. Sister Yuying and the others only ate half of the roujiamo, and there was still some left in the basket.

Lin Wanwan called out to Shen Li, "Brother Li! Come here!"

Chen Li turned around in surprise and saw that it was Lin Wanwan. He ran forward and asked, "What's wrong, Wanwan?"

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Lin Wanwan poured him a bowl of mung bean soup, "Brother Li, drink some mung bean soup to cool down. I just delivered food to Sister Yuying and the others. Have you eaten yet?"

Shen Li took the mung bean soup, drank it all, shook his head and said, "We haven't eaten yet. Let's wait for the helpers to come and then go home to eat."

Well, she had guessed that!

There were still seven or eight roujiamo left in the basket. Lin Wanwan gave him the basket, put a few bowls in it, and poured him a ceramic pot of mung bean soup.

"I still have a few roujiamo left. You can have one first. It's hot, don't get a heat stroke."

Chen Li saw that the pancake was full of meat and gave it back to Lin Wanwan, "It's not easy for you to earn money, take it back and eat it yourself, we can go back and eat it later."

Lin Wanwan refused to take it. "Brother Li, you can just take it and eat it. I can't finish it myself. I'll just make it again tonight. Don't be polite with me! Okay, you guys go and eat it. I'll give some more mung bean soup to others."

After she finished speaking, she continued to move forward with the donkey cart and continued to deliver mung bean soup.
