Let’s go to the hawthorn tree. Shen Mo and the others are already waiting there.
Lin Shitou waved at her, "Aunt Lin, this way!"
Lin Wanwan walked over quickly and saw that everyone was there. She took out the oil-paper bag from her backpack and handed it to them.
"I made some new food. Please help me taste it and we'll talk after you finish eating."
Lin Shitou picked up a pancake and took a big bite. He was instantly shocked by the taste.
"What kind of meat is this? It smells so good! Come and try it!"
For a moment, everyone exclaimed that the meat was particularly delicious, but Shen Mo was the only one who frowned slightly and stared at the meat in the pancake.
After looking at it for a while, he said, "This meat... is it internal organs?"
Lin Wanwan was also a little surprised that he could find it, and nodded: "This is made from pig offal, washed clean and stewed. It tastes good, right?"
Shen Mo tasted it again. The meat was very soft and tender, with a different texture from meat. Although it sounded a bit unpleasant, it tasted very good.
Lin Yusheng came up and said, "Aunt, you asked us to come here to help you clean up the pigs, didn't you?"
Lin Wanwan shook her head.
"No, you guys are on holiday from farming. If you still have time, can you help me pick some dates and hawthorns? I've been busy lately, so I want to do more before winter."
While eating, Lin Huzi said, "I know there are many kinds of dates in the neighboring villages. How do we get them?"
"I charge seven cents for one pound of dates. You can take three cents for each pound you collect. Ten pounds is thirty cents, and one hundred pounds is three hundred cents. The more you help me collect, the more money you will earn."
Lin Shitou thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this price a bit high? You're going to add sugar to it, won't you lose money?"
"I'm afraid that the price we set is too low and you won't be able to buy them. So, you can do this: be more careful when buying them, and don't buy the rotten ones or those with insects. This can save some costs. When buying them, tell them that the price we offer is high, so we will be more selective, and ask them to just give you the good ones by weighing them."
Lin Yusheng patted the debris on his body and swallowed the food in his mouth, "Aunt Lin, we will go to collect it tomorrow!"
Lin Wanwan took out a purse from her cloth bag. She had put ten taels of silver in it before she came and handed it to them.
"Here are ten taels of silver. It would be more convenient if you could change them into copper coins."
Shen Mo pushed her purse back and said, "You still have six taels from me. Use these first. If you're not enough, I'll ask you for more."
"Here, you should take it first. What if it's not enough?"
"It's enough. If it's not, we'll fill it up first and tell you later."
"Well, I'll keep it like this for now. Thank you for your help!"
Lin Huzi smiled innocently, "No trouble, no trouble."
Lin Wanwan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Since you are all free, come with me to dig out that piece of angelica. I recently bought a shop and it costs some money."
"Hey! My sister-in-law bought a shop? Where is it?"
Lin Shitou jumped up excitedly and came forward to ask.
"It's across from that music building. Because it's close to that place, many people don't want to go there, so the price is cheaper."
At first, the young men were still wondering what building it was, until they saw Lin Shitou hinting with a wink, and they immediately realized it and their faces turned red.
Lin Huzi stammered, "Lin, Miss Lin, you are still an unmarried girl, how, how can you open a shop there?"
"Humph! What are you afraid of? It's just across the street and we're not going there for fun. Besides, if there are any food shops around, it's just right to open it over there. Sister Yuying will be there with me, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Oh, sister Yuying is with you, that's fine, Huzi is also worried about you, don't blame him."
Lin Yu was afraid that she would be angry, so he quickly explained.
"It's okay. Why should I be angry? I know Hu Zi is afraid that I will meet some bad guys over there. Don't worry, it's okay. I'll treat you to dinner when the restaurant opens!"
"Hahaha, then we must go and try it!"
“You have to go!”
Lin Wanwan followed the mark she had left behind and led everyone to the angelica root. She squatted down, carefully dug a hole on one side with a hoe, and took out a complete angelica root.
"Just dig it out like I did just now. Just be careful when digging."
"Okay, Shitou, you need to go back and get some hoes, so we can dig faster together."
As Shen Mo spoke, he rolled up his robe and sleeves, and started digging roughly with a sickle.
Lin Wanwan walked along the road, wanting to see what else was inside. She didn't see any familiar plants, only a few wild apple trees, whose fruits were small and astringent, and very unpalatable.
The trees were not so dense further in, but the weeds were still very tall. Suddenly, she heard a rustling in the grass opposite, and she walked forward carefully, thinking that maybe she could catch a little rabbit today, as she had never raised a rabbit before!
Lin Wanwan kept praying in her heart, it was a rabbit, a white and soft little white rabbit, hehe...
Gently pushing aside a bunch of grass, I was suddenly met with a pair of ferocious animal eyes...
She forced the corners of her mouth up and whispered, "I'm sorry, no offense, goodbye!"
Slowly put down the grass branch in your hand and quietly stepped back...
But who knew that the wild boar suddenly jumped out and headed straight towards Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan was so scared that she ran away, running back along the densely wooded area. The wild boar was fat and strong, weighing at least three or four hundred pounds. If she was caught up by it, she would be crushed to death!
The wild boar rushed all the way, and Lin Wanwan was like a rabbit, jumping up and down. The surrounding trees were particularly annoying and always blocked its movements, which made it very angry and it would not give up until it caught up with Lin Wanwan.
