After the other members of the Lin family planted the herbs, Lin Anru found the village chief and talked about purchasing and collecting the herbs.
"You can ask my parents for advice on how to identify and pick the fruit. Please help me talk to the villagers about this."
"It's such a good thing, why would I bother with it?" The village chief waved his hand. "But I have to talk to my own people first before I can tell others."
He is the village chief and also the patriarch of the Lin family. Privately, he would of course give benefits to his own people first.
"Uncle, you can arrange it."
The two discussed some details about the matter, and only after they were confirmed did Lin Anru go home.
"Call the other uncles over here, we have something important to discuss."
As soon as Lin Anru left, the village chief immediately and decisively instructed his son that making money cannot be done slowly, and of course the sooner the better.
So today, the elder members of the Lin family gathered together. No one knew what they talked about, but in less than half an hour, all the members of the Lin family went to the ancestral hall to hold a meeting.
After returning from the meeting, all the Lin family members went out to the fields, becoming a beautiful landscape in Yamada Village. This made the villagers of the other three surnames in Yamada Village curious.
But no matter how they asked, the man surnamed Lin refused to tell them what he was doing there.
By the time all the members of the Lin family had identified the herbs, March had already ended and the herbs planted by Lin Shiyu could be harvested.
Now, the empty spaces in the yards of the Lin family in Yamada Village are planted with medicinal herbs. As for those with other surnames, the village chief has just begun to inform them of this matter.
More than half a month had passed, and all the herbs near the village that were known had already been picked by Lin. The mature ones were picked directly and sold to Lin Shiyu, while the small ones were dug up and taken home to plant.
People with the other three surnames had to go to other villages to learn new knowledge and discover new herbs.
"It's nice to have someone with the same surname as the village chief~"
The villagers with other surnames complained in a sour tone, but when they thought about the fact that no one with their own surname was promising, they immediately stopped wanting to say any sour words.
…
"Individual strength and team strength are completely incomparable."
In just half a month, they made much more money as middlemen than they had earned by collecting herbs on their own.
"I made a net profit of twelve taels of silver. I hope to continue next month." Liu stared at the copper coins that Lin Anru had just brought back with a smile. She was in a very happy mood and felt much better.
"It's a little more in the first month, but there won't be that much later." Lin Anru poured cold water on her.
This month, the villagers picked all that could be picked, and next month, no new crops have grown. The goods that can be received are all picked by the villagers from other nearby villages, so the quantity will definitely not be large.
"It doesn't matter. If it's less, we can go pick other herbs and sell them. The silver we earn then should be not much different from this amount."
They have been at home helping to prepare medicinal materials for the past half month and have no time to go out.
Starting next month, if they don’t purchase enough herbs, they will have more free time and will go out to pick them themselves.
I have only taught the villagers to identify a few types of herbs before, and there are still many that I have not taught them. I haven’t picked them for more than half a month, and I don’t know how many have grown.
"After the busy farming season is over, I plan to go to school for a while."
With extra money at home, Lin Anru became more active. He had already decided to take the path of imperial examinations. Of course, he would continue on this path with determination after becoming rich.
In May and June, the work in the fields is done, and the heavy work at home comes to an end. I have free time to study and do odd jobs.
"Go ahead. I'm here at home. Even if I can't handle it, I still have my brother and the others."
The Dafang family moved into their new home two days ago. They moved in early because of the herbs growing in the yard and lived next door to them.
Their family now has neighbors, and their place has become much more popular.
Although Liu was reluctant to leave her husband, she knew that this was not the time to act according to her own selfish motives. She could not do anything that would hold her husband back.
"Thanks a lot!"
Lin Anru grabbed her hand and apologized repeatedly.
Liu just smiled and said nothing. Compared with other women in the village, her life was really not that hard.
Lin Shiyu originally wanted to call her parents to eat, but when she arrived at the door, she saw them holding hands and she was immediately filled with food.
She is fed dog food every day. (￢_￢)
"Mom and Dad, eat."
The two of them immediately let go of each other's hands and went to the lobby to eat as if nothing had happened.
"Boyu's craftsmanship is getting better and better."
Lin Anru usually has no time, and is reluctant to let Liu work hard. Lin Shiyu is young, so the task of cooking at home falls on Lin Boyu.
He started out as a novice, but with Lin Shiyu teaching him every day, he has now become a novice with unskilled skills.
"It's just so-so, barely edible." Lin Shiyu took a bite of the dish and put it in her mouth, saying lightly.
"You are so picky!" Liu was speechless.
Lin Shiyu shrugged. She missed the various modern delicacies. Just thinking about them made her drool, especially when she saw that here they only had porridge every day. Her saliva secretion was even more.
"I just didn't do well enough."
Lin Boyu retorted that after his sister brainwashed him with all kinds of delicious food every day, he felt that the food he cooked was really bad, very bad.
"Just spoil her!" Liu rolled her eyes, thinking that praising him was a mistake.
"Girls are meant to be spoiled."
The quiet Lin Anru spoke after hearing this. Not only that, his words were also recognized by Lin Boyu.
"Mom is also a girl, so she needs to be spoiled too."
Seeing Liu's indifferent expression, Lin Boyu added a sentence.
"You're just a chatterbox!"
Although Liu said she disliked it, she still enjoyed the vest.
As for her son's perception of her dull complexion, she refused to admit it, saying it was all due to her son's guilty conscience.
The amount of herbs received in April was indeed pitifully small. Even if the villagers went to other villages to pick them, there would not be much left.
Here, the more distant areas are still undeveloped, and wild beasts can be seen everywhere. The villagers dare not go in, and they only dare to pick herbs around populated areas.
"Next month will be better. If we have time this month, we can go pick the fruits ourselves. If we don't want to go, we can just rest at home for a while."
Next month, some herbs with fast growth cycles grown by villagers will be harvested.
Lin Boyu said he was tired and wanted to rest.
Lin Shiyu agreed.
Liu, the patient, has no right to speak. Even if she thinks she is not a patient, Lin Anru, the head of the family, thinks she is.
So the whole family unanimously agreed to rest at home this month.
Lin Shiyu, who had a rare moment of free time, began to think about delicious food. Lin Boyu, who wanted to take a break, felt a chill on his back.
He had a bad feeling...
