Lin Wan asked Sister Yuying to help watch the business while she went to buy some food. Sister Yuying thought she was going to buy things for the opening and readily let her do the shopping.
Lin Wan went to the butcher shop and bought 70 to 80 kilograms of pork and two sets of pork bones, spending three taels of silver. Then he went to the rented yard in the east of the city to take a look.
They were all washed and changed into newly made clothes. The children also looked brand new. Although they were very thin, they were still energetic and were taking care of the chicks and ducklings that Lin Wan bought yesterday.
Lin Jiu walked up to her and said in a cold voice: "What do I need to do?"
Uh, protect me?
Lin Wan sighed, "You don't need to do anything for now, just take care of yourself first. There's no place for you to live in the village, I'll take you back after the house is built."
Lin Jiu said nothing, turned around and left without paying any more attention to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan couldn't help but waved his fist at him. Who is this person? How dare he treat the master like this? He is truly lawless!
Shuyun came over with a smile and said to Lin Wan, "Girl, don't be angry with him. He has always been like this. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he is still a good person."
"Humph, who wants to argue with him! Have you made your bedding? Do you have enough food?"
"That's enough, girl. It'll last you several days! The quilt was made overnight. It's comfortable and warm. It's the first time for all of us to sleep on such a good quilt!"
Alas, wait for her to work harder and try to let you cover yourself with a big quilt as soon as possible. If you can afford it, buy you a silk quilt!
"You and Second Mother should take a good rest these two days. You will be busy when my shop opens."
"Okay, don't worry, girl."
Seeing that nothing happened, Lin Wan drove the cart to a deserted place, moved a basket of eggs from the space, took most of the cart of vegetables, and moved a few bags of rice and flour, then returned to the shop.
Sister Yuying asked her why she bought so many vegetables. Lin Wan took her to the second floor and told her about the construction of the water mill, the repair of the bridge, the purchase of land and the hiring of servants.
Li Yuying blamed Lin Wan for spending money without knowing how to count, but she thought about it in the long run and couldn't think of anything wrong. Everything was useful, but she bought so many children...
"Wanwan, why did you buy so many children?"
Lin Wanwan said miserably, "I didn't want to buy the children at first, but I saw how pitiful they were! They were so skinny without any meat on them, staring at me pitifully with their big eyes, not saying a word. They were almost the same age as Xiaobai, so I softened my heart and..."
"But sister-in-law, I've thought about it. Let them go and accompany Xiaobai to study peacefully first. It will be better if he studies well. After he can read and do arithmetic, let them help manage the shop. After all, the family property is most reassuring when it is used by family members."
Li Yuying also nodded. She knew that Lin Wanwan was far-sighted, but she didn't expect that she was so thoughtful in every aspect. This child will definitely have great fortune in the future. However, she still has to be scolded and can't be allowed to grow up in a crooked way!
Around four or five o'clock, they finally finished the oven. The workmanship was very fine and it was basically completely restored. I don't know what materials they used, but the gaps filled and the appearance applied were very sticky and it didn't crack or fall off. It was magical.
The total cost of materials and labor was nine taels of silver. Lin Wan paid the money and gave them a deposit of one hundred taels.
She and her sister-in-law closed the shop and hurried back.
When I got home, I happened to meet Shen Mo and others who were delivering some things. Today we collected even fewer dates, only about 70 or 80 kilograms, but we did collect about 200 to 300 kilograms of walnuts and sesame seeds.
"We have almost harvested all the dates in the vicinity, and tomorrow is the last day for us to harvest."
Lin Wanwan thought that they were about to start school, and they had been working really hard during this period. She took out two hundred taels of silver and stuffed them in.
"This is the money from selling angelica root. There are 82 kilograms in total. The medicine shop charges 6 taels per kilogram. These are yours."
Lin Yusheng looked at the banknotes in Shen Mo's hand with his eyes wide open. This was the first time he had seen so much money. He was so shocked!
She saw Shen Mo frowning and trying to take out money from his pocket to give her the change, so she quickly raised her hand to stop him.
"I don't need these few taels, so you don't need to change. You can divide the money among yourselves later."
Shen Mo took Lin Yusheng and bowed to her.
"Thank you, Aunt Lin!"
"My dear aunt, you are so generous! Just for this reason, from now on, whenever you need anything, I, Lin Yusheng, will be there at your beck and call!"
"Haha, OK, then I won't lose money on this deal."
Lin Wanwan sent them off and started to cook stewed food again. The sugar was used up quickly recently and there was not much left. It seemed that she had to ask 857 to exchange some white sugar.
After finishing his homework, Lin Bai came out to help. While looking at Chai, he told her what he had learned today and recited it to her. Lin Wan happily cooked an extra dish in the evening, and the dogs also had a good meal. He rewarded them with a pot of meat and big bones.
The next day, she had to ask her sister-in-law and brother Dayong to help go to the county, as she had to stay to arrange some things.
"Sister-in-law, when you sell today, tell them that we will stop for two days. I think September 6th is a good day, so we will open in three days! Sister-in-law, please don't get the address of our store wrong. It's on Lin'an Street! The street full of cloth shops!"
"Okay, I know!"
