Chapter 30 Doing Business



"Grandma went too far!" the eldest child said indignantly.

Yin Lan showed the peanuts in the cloth bag to Da Wa and asked him, "Is Grandma still being unreasonable now?"

She needs to let her children know that some people may seem good on the surface but harbor malicious intentions, while others may seem bad on the surface but are actually good inside.

For example, the female lead that the future second male lead has his eye on!

The eldest child's expression turned serious. It seemed that this child understood a little bit.

As a result, the eldest child raised his head and said, "Mother, let Grandma come back and beat you again!"

Yin Lan: ....

"I think you're the one who deserves a beating!"

That brat!

But with peanuts, things are much better now.

Yin Lan then asked Erwa to borrow two more basins from the Zhao family.

Considering that the demand for filter cloth was greater than last time, Yin Lan secretly used all of the cloth.

Last time, I also brought back some banana taro leaves, which the two kids used to cover their heads. Yin Lan soaked the leaves in water, and they can be used tomorrow.

With everything prepared, Yin Lan told the two children to go to bed early.

The two children used to refuse to wash their feet, but now Yin Lan requires them to do so. They used to resist, but Yin Lan forced them to wash their feet through coercion. Now they know how comfortable it is to go to bed after washing their feet.

They've already started boiling water and bringing it over on their own initiative.

After applying frostbite cream these past few days, the red and swollen hands of both kids have improved a lot, and their previously dark and thin feet are now white and slender. It seems they still need to rest a bit more and gain some weight.

"Take off your pants," she instructed the two children.

She didn't want to look at it at first, but the eldest child had annoyed her, so she had to take a look at the frostbite on the two children's bottoms herself.

The older child hesitated, "Okay...it's already fine, no need to look."

Erwa immediately pulled down his pants, twisted his body to show Yin Lan his chubby white bottom, and said, "Mom, look, my bottom doesn't hurt at all now!"

"Hmm, very good. Chen Yiqi, where's your butt?" Yin Lan pretended to have a stern expression.

"I..." The eldest child blushed.

How could he let his mother see his butt?

After washing his feet, he took off running.

"Erwa, bring your brother over here, we want to see his backside!" Yin Lan issued the order.

The second child immediately became very happy and carried out the order with great enthusiasm.

The two kids were running all over the house, one of them yelling, "Stop!"

A voice cried out, "Erwa, you just wait!"

The third child, who was lying down, sat up on his own, clapped his hands, and tried to stand up to join the chase.

"You should rest. Don't you realize you're too old to even control your poop and pee?" Yin Lan pressed the third child down to sit. The little guy wasn't angry; he just chuckled and mumbled, "ma...ma..."

So adorable, Yin Lan has the heart of a loving mother!

There was a commotion for a while.

We still didn't see the baby's bottom, but it should be almost healed.

Once the children were in bed, the second child automatically snuggled into Yin Lan's arms, becoming the first little warmer. The older child watched, wanting to sleep next to his mother, but Yin Lan gave him a subtle hint, so he went to her feet, since warming her feet was a very important thing.

That night, after doing physical labor and eating a hearty meal, the three children and one adult slept exceptionally well.

The tranquil Iron Sword Village has also drifted into a sweet dream.

At four in the morning, before the roosters had even crowed, Yin Lan opened her eyes.

She got up quietly, without waking the two children, and after getting dressed, went to the outer room.

Because Shu Baiwang has a unique food fragrance, it is very particular about freshness. We start making it now, and after it is done, we let it sit in the car. When we arrive in the county town, it will have just solidified into a block. This is when it is freshest and ready to be sold.

Yin Lan already had experience. Following the previous steps, she first wrapped the leaves, mashed them, soaked them in water, and rubbed them repeatedly. After working like this for an hour, all the leaves of the yam that she had picked last time were used up. After filtering, she added them to the chopped mint leaves and stirred them continuously.

After finishing everything, the basin was full of lily bulbs, and all the bowls in the house were filled with them, with some still left. We really don't have enough tools, so we need to buy a few large porcelain bowls or earthenware jars as soon as possible.

This time, Yin Lan chopped up the peanuts she had fried in advance and sprinkled them on top of Shu Baiwang.

Adding pale yellow accents to a pot of lush green peanuts not only makes the colors more appealing and resembles a dish or dessert, but also makes the ingredients look more substantial. More importantly, the roasted peanuts have a unique aroma.

People in this dynasty ate peanuts raw and had no idea how delicious they tasted when stir-fried.

The aroma of leaves, the refreshing taste of mint, and the rich fragrance of peanuts create a complex and lingering flavor.

Yin Lan tasted it herself and found it to be much tastier than what she made yesterday!

She herself is stunning, let alone people of this era, who can handle it in a heartbeat.

While Yin Lan was washing banana and taro leaves, Da Wa rubbed his eyes and got up, calling out, "Mother~"

Yin Lan instructed him to take good care of his two younger brothers at home, and finally he cooked for himself. There were also winter bamboo shoots, bananas and taro at home.

Although there's no meat, it's still considered a top-notch dish in the village when stir-fried with lard.

"Mom, where are you going?" the older child asked worriedly.

Yin Lan had already cut the banana taro leaves into small pieces and was using a bamboo strip as a knife.

The food is natural, all the tools are natural, and it looks quite authentic.

"Mother went to the county town to sell the tree, Baiwang," Yin Lan replied casually.

Da Wa's eyes suddenly lit up. When he heard Grandma Dao say that no one else had ever seen it, he had already thought about selling it. However, he thought about selling it in the village and neighboring villages, but he didn't dare to say it. He didn't expect that his mother thought the same way and was already doing it!

"I want to go too!" he said excitedly.

"What will happen to the two kids at home if you go? This time, Mom will go first to test the waters. Next time, I'll take you and the second child. If sales are good today, Mom will buy some good food. You can stay at home today. Even if you go into the mountains, you can only wander around the edge. You're not allowed to go inside, understand?"

Yin Lan spoke the last sentence with particular sternness.

Da Wa thought of the terrifying wild boar, and although he was unwilling, he could only nod.

Everything was ready. It was already six o'clock in the morning. Just as Yin Lan was about to call Zhao Dashan, his oxcart arrived at the door of the thatched hut.

Before Yin Lan could say anything, he had already started helping to carry the things.

If he still had prejudices against Yin Lan last time, after these two days of contact, his opinion has completely changed.

However, Old Mrs. Zhao reminded him around 9 pm that this Mrs. Yin didn't seem to be cut out for business at all. She wouldn't say a word even if you beat her a hundred times. If she couldn't sell her goods, Zhao Dashan should help her out and not let Mrs. Yin cry and whine in the street.

Zhao Dashan looked embarrassed; he had no experience in doing business.
