After everyone finished their meal, Li Yan and her aunt washed the dishes and took them back home.
After being busy for these days, the work is finally completed and everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Erlang looked at his daughter, who seemed to have lost some weight, and warned her, "Don't rush to raise livestock for the next few days. Take a few days off first!"
Li Yan nodded in agreement. The Mid-Autumn Festival would be here in two days. This was her first festival in this world, and she had planned to get together with her family.
Everyone has been very busy these days, especially uncle and old man Li, who have been working hard because of Li Yan's plan.
Lin said worriedly, "I don't know if your uncle can make it back. It's been so long!"
Li Erlang patted his wife's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it will be around these days!"
Everyone talked for a while in the main hall and then went back to their rooms to rest!
In the evening, Mrs. Lin was busy in the kitchen early. Her sister-in-law and daughter had been preparing meals these days.
Lin planned to let the two of them take a rest while she would get busy in the kitchen.
There was a piece of meat left at home, so Lin stewed the meat and fried bean sprouts and cabbage.
Chop the green onions and mix them into the white flour, then sprinkle a little salt on it. The thin pancake tastes salty, fragrant and soft.
After dinner was ready, the family gathered in the main room to eat. Just as they were about to start eating, they heard voices outside the door.
When everyone looked clearly, they saw a man with an unshaven beard and a frosted face standing in front of Li Erlang's house.
Lin looked at the person who came and rushed forward unconsciously. She grabbed Lin Feng's arm and looked at her brother carefully. Her brother looked much more mature after not seeing him for a while.
Lin Feng smiled and said to everyone, "Brother-in-law, please help me get the things I'm about to bring down. Sister, let's not stand at the door anymore. Come in quickly. I've been rushing all the way here. Is there any water at home? Pour me a glass quickly."
When Mrs. Lin heard her brother say this, she quickly made way, and Lin Feng walked into the main hall in three or two steps.
Lin Feng took the water handed to him by Li Yan and drank it in one gulp, but it still didn't quench his thirst. He drank another glass before he felt relieved.
Mrs. Lin looked at her brother, who looked exhausted. "You too, there are many tea stalls along the way, and you didn't even stop to rest when you were thirsty!"
Lin Feng: "I've been out for a long time this time, and I'm afraid you'll miss me, so I want to come back soon!"
Seeing Li Yan staring at him, Lin Feng touched Li Yan's head with a smile on his face: "Girl, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize your uncle? Uncle bought you a gift!"
As he spoke, he took off the bag from his body, took out a silver hairpin, and inserted it into Li Yan's hair: "Yes, your uncle has good taste. When I saw this hairpin, I thought our Yan'er would look very beautiful wearing it!"
Li Yan smiled and thanked her uncle, then put the silver hairpin away.
At this time, Li Erlang led Lin Feng's horse, which was parked at the door, into the yard, took off the several large bags on the horse's back, and walked to the main hall.
Lin Feng took the package from his brother-in-law, moved the food aside, opened the package and placed it on the table.
The bulging bundle was filled with all sorts of brand new fabrics. Lin Feng said to Lin, "These are the new fabrics I purchased during my trip to the south. I bought one for each of you. Take your pick, sister!"
Lin scolded, "You too, it's not easy to make some money, wouldn't it be better to save it yourself?"
Lin Feng just smiled and said nothing.
Li Yan called out to Lin Feng, "Uncle, please sit down. You must be hungry after all this travel. Let's talk while we eat."
After Lin Feng sat down, Lin said, "You guys eat first, I'll go make two more dishes!"
Without waiting for Lin Feng to stop her, Lin went straight to the kitchen.
Li Xiaomei also stood up at this time: "I'll go see if my sister-in-law needs any help!"
Lin went to the kitchen, found the eggs she had saved, and immediately beat four or five of them to make a steamed egg with chopped green onions, and also fried some sauerkraut.
Lin Feng was indeed hungry. Smelling the aroma of food on the table, he picked up the freshly made pancake without hesitation. He showed off three of the dishes on the table in one breath.
By the time Lin had prepared the dish and served it, Lin Feng was already half full.
Lin Feng pulled his sister to sit next to him: "Sister, do you know? I made a lot of money from the Lianqiao I brought out this time!"
Lin took the opportunity to sit next to Lin Feng, took another pancake, wrapped the vegetables, and handed it to her brother: "How much did you sell it for? Eighty cents per pound?"
Lin Feng nodded, took a bite of the pancake and said, "One hundred and ten coins per catty! A total of fifty taels." Then he slapped everyone!
Lin exclaimed, "How could they sell so many?"
Lin Feng: "The main therapeutic effects of this forsythia are clearing away heat and detoxifying, dispersing nodules and reducing swelling. This herb is indispensable in the prescription for treating colds! Plus, the forsythia we grow in the north is of high quality, so the demand for it cannot keep up with the supply!"
"Then we don't have to worry about selling these Forsythia at home!" said Li Yan.
Lin Feng finished the cake in his hand, nodded and continued: "That's right, when I left, the shop owners asked me when I would come back!"
Lin Feng excitedly recounted his journey to everyone while opening the package he had brought into the house. Four plump silver ingots appeared before everyone's eyes. "I didn't make this trip alone. I gave the ten taels of silver to the manager of the trading company! It's our reward."
Li Erlang said: "That's as it should be!"
Looking at the white silver in front of her, Li Yan said excitedly: "We still have nearly 3,000 kilograms of prepared forsythia at home. Uncle, when will you go to the south again?"
Li Erlang perked up when he heard Li Yan's words. "How much forsythia can this mountain produce? Have you ever estimated it?"
Li Yan: "Our barren mountain is at least 180 mu, and there are at least 80 mu of forsythia on this mountain. Even if the mountain is barren, I can harvest at least 200 kilograms per mu, and after drying and processing, it will be around 3,000 kilograms!"
Lin was surprised and asked, "If we go by the price your uncle mentioned, wouldn't our family earn three hundred taels from these forsythias?"
"That's right, mother. That's why our family's decision to buy this barren mountain was the right one!"
Li Xiaomei, who had been listening to the conversation, was so shocked that she was speechless! Three hundred taels of silver? Was she dreaming?
"Then after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to the south again and help you sell these medicinal herbs!" Lin Feng said.
Lin felt sorry for her brother and disapproved, "You've only been back for a short time, why are you thinking of going out again?"
Lin Feng: "Sister, you must sell these herbs while they are fresh. If they become stale or moldy, then all your efforts will be wasted! Besides, this is my livelihood, so how can I complain about the hard work!"
