Chapter 13: Scare the Village Gossip



Sister Yuying came in with a wooden basin and saw the peach jam made by Lin Wanwan. She walked over and smelled it, "Is this peach? It smells so good~"

Lin Wanwan found two bowls, scooped some peach jam into them, added some boiled water, stirred it with chopsticks, and passed it to Li Yuying and Lin Bai.

"Sister-in-law, you try it first and see how it tastes. Xiaobai, you try it too!"

Li Yuying took the bowl, took a sip, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It tastes good! It's like peach juice, sour and sweet, so delicious!"

Lin Bai couldn't help but squint his eyes and drink it in small sips. It was the first time for him to drink something so delicious. What his sister made was even better than peach juice!

Lin Wanwan took a sip and found it delicious, but she still felt a little unsatisfied.

"It would taste better if you add ice or milk!"

Li Yuying thought for a while, frowned and said, "Ice is too expensive, most people can't afford it. There is also little milk, and the cost is too high. How do you plan to sell it?"

"I bought six beautiful porcelain jars today. I will sell them for one tael with the jars. If I don't have the jars, I will sell them for thirty coins per pound. What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Li Yuying carefully took the porcelain jar and couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Oh, you put peach jam in such a beautiful jar? This porcelain jar is not cheap, right? Last time I went to buy a jar, I saw one that was not as beautiful as the ones you bought, and it cost one tael! You are such a daredevil to spend money!"

Lin Wanwan is happy, but does that mean she is even happier?

"Don't feel bad, sister-in-law. Have you noticed that the people who come to buy things here today are all rich people? We ordinary people are not willing to spend money. At most, we buy a few buns to improve our meals. We earn the money of the rich, so we package it more beautifully, so that they won't buy it. We can even give this sauce as a gift!"

When Li Yuying heard this, she also thought it made sense, so she put the jar back and said hurriedly, "I have a few more jars at home. Wait, I'll get them for you!"

After saying that, he ran home in a hurry.

Lin Wanwan shook her head helplessly, scooped out the water in the pot, prepared to make candied dates, and made two bowls of soup for Lin Bai.

"Xiaobai, remember to rinse your mouth after drinking, otherwise your teeth will hurt!"

"Got it, sister. I'll rinse my mouth after I finish drinking!"

After a while, Li Yuying ran in with two large jars and placed them in front of her.

"I just bought this year. I haven't used it yet. I just cleaned it a few days ago. You can use it first."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law, I'll buy a few more and return them to you."

"It's okay, don't worry, just use it."

Lin Wanwan scooped the rest into a jar and sealed it, waiting to sell them together tomorrow.

Seeing that there was nothing left to do, Li Yuying was about to leave.

"Wanwan, I've got those done. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Lin Wanwan chased after her with the jar of peach jam and stuffed it into her arms.

"Sister-in-law, take it back and let Brother Dayong and Ping An have a taste."

"You kid! Why are you giving it back to me? Take it back now and sell it for money!"

Lin Wanwan pushed her to the door and quickly closed it.

"Sister-in-law, go back to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow!"

Lin Wanwan covered her mouth and giggled, ignoring Li Yuying's shouting outside, and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

She sent Lin Bai back to sleep.

"Xiaobai, have you rinsed your mouth? Go to bed right away after you rinse your mouth. I'll be busy for a while, so go to bed first!"

"Sister, I'm not sleepy yet. Let me light a fire for you!"

Lin Wanwan touched his head and smiled with relief: "It's okay, I can take care of it myself, you go to sleep first, you can go find Ping An to play tomorrow."

Lin Bai nodded, ran out to rinse her mouth, and then came back and said, "Sister, if you are too busy, call me!"

"Okay~ Go to bed!"

After working for nearly two hours, she finally finished making the candied dates and hawthorns. She put them on the wooden board to dry, washed her face and lay down to sleep.

She was really tired these days. She also wanted Li Yuying to help her, but she couldn't take the sugar out because it was too eye-catching. Unless she made white sugar in the future, the white sugar would be a life-threatening thing...

As she thought about it, she gradually fell asleep.

In the early morning, Lin Wanwan was awakened by the sound of a dog barking. It turned out that Li Yuying was calling her from outside. She quickly got up from the bed, put on her clothes, opened the door and welcomed her in.

"Sister-in-law, wait for me a moment. I'll wash my face first."

"Okay, don't worry. Are you tired these past two days? You are still young. Don't tire yourself out by being so busy every day!"

"It's okay, sister-in-law. I'm not too tired. I just slept very deeply last night. I still feel that my body is too weak and I want to practice more!"

Li Yuying couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "You kid! Do you want to be like Hu Zi? How are you going to get married in the future?"

"Why not? When I make money, there will be plenty of people to marry me! At worst, I can find a son-in-law! A good-looking scholar..."

Li Yuying stepped forward and covered her mouth with her hands, scolding her with a smile: "Oh my, my little ancestor, you are not ashamed! It's okay to say this at home, but if you go out and someone hears you, they will laugh at you!"

Lin Wanwan struggled out, raised her head and said, "That's right! I'm not afraid of what they say. They don't dare to say it themselves, they can only envy me!"

Li Yuying shook her head. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll find a scholar and marry you off when the time comes!"

Lin Wanwan chuckled, "Then we have to find someone as good-looking as Brother Li."

"Hey, you little girl, Chen Li is a scholar, and his mother said that she would find a young lady from a wealthy family for Chen Li to marry. You should just give up on this idea!"

Lin Wanwan wiped her face randomly and said firmly: "I won't! Unless Chen Li tells me in person, I won't give up."
