Chapter 5: Making candied dates and selling them for money



"Brother Dayong!" Lin Wanwan greeted him with a smile.

"Wanwan is here. Come on, let's eat first. Yuying, get a pair of chopsticks for Wanwan and Xiaobai. We don't have anything good at home, so just join us and eat something."

"Okay, thank you Brother Dayong, we won't be polite then."

Lin Ping'an also smiled at Lin Wanwan, "Hello, aunt!" He turned his head and winked at Lin Bai and said, "Hello, uncle!"

Lin Bai was so scared that he quickly waved his hands, "Brother Ping'an, I am your younger brother, not your uncle!"

“Pfft! Hahahahaha!”

Everyone was immediately amused by him. Li Yuying patiently explained to him, and Lin Bai finally understood. He then said to Lin Pingan, "Brother Pingan, you always take me out to play. There is no distinction between us in terms of generation."

Lin Ping'an nodded, thinking that it was not in vain that he brought this kid out to play!

Li Yuying took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Lin Wanwan. "Look at you, you are so dirty. What are you busy doing at home?"

Lin Wanwan then remembered and quickly handed the thing to Li Yuying.

"Sister-in-law, this is what I made. Can you take a look?"

Li Yuying opened the oil paper and looked at the things inside. She was stunned. "What is this? Dates? What is this?"

"Haha, sister-in-law, please try it, and everyone should try it to see if it tastes good."

Li Yuying took a candied date and handed it to Lin Dayong, "Come, Ping'an, you try it too." She then took a hawthorn ball and gave it to her son.

As soon as it enters the mouth, it is filled with sweet fragrance, and the dates melt in the mouth like honey.

"Wow! Why is it so sweet! This is so delicious! Is this a date? Oh, how much sugar does it take!"

Lin Dayong also widened his eyes and looked at the dates in his hand.

"How is it, sister-in-law? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, sure..." Li Yuying turned around and glared at Lin Wanwan, "You're such a spendthrift! Do you know how much sugar costs? It's more than 60 wen this year, how much food can you buy with it?"

Lin Wanwan really didn't expect that the price of sugar was so high in this dynasty, so she had to appease Li Yuying first.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I know how expensive sugar is. Just listen to me and tell you slowly. After the fall that day, I went back with a high fever and almost died..."

"What! Why didn't you tell me yesterday? Are you still having a fever?"

"Yuying!" Lin Dayong interrupted her, "Listen to Wanwan first."

Lin Wanwan stood up and turned around, "Look, sister-in-law, I'm fine."

He sat back down and continued talking.

"That day I was delirious with fever and didn't know where I went. There were things I had never seen before. Then an old man came out and took me around and told me what everything was. Finally, he gave me a pill. The pill was so bitter that I almost vomited it out. The old man also gave me a candied date. I tasted it and asked him how the date was made. He told me in detail how it was made. Finally, he said that I had a weak relationship with my relatives and had a bad fate. I should do more good deeds in the future. He also gave me a book, but I couldn't read the words on it. In the blink of an eye, I was back..."
