The first thing the eldest son did when he got home was to quickly put the spices that Lin Jin'er gave her to buy on the table.

"Mother, look at it, everything you can buy is here, and there are a few more you explained, I ran all over the small shops and stalls and didn't find them."

Lin Jin'er hurriedly nodded to show that it was out of the way, and then poured out all the spices in the small cloth bag, and then crushed the spices into crumbles with a garlic mortar.

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

Chen You watched curiously, completely forgetting about his rumbling stomach, but Lin Jin'er heard it.

"Look at my memory, let's eat first, I'll tell you later."

Lin Jin'er put down her things and beckoned the family to sit at the dinner table, in addition to the wild vegetables, potatoes and pumpkin paste that she had every day on weekdays, there was also a chicken.

This chicken is a small rooster that Lin Jin'er specially bought from someone else's house, and it is also the first time that the whole family has eaten meat since Chen Gao died.

"Mother, have you encountered anything good?"

Xiao Liangzi looked at the chicken legs on the plate, his eyes straightened, and he couldn't help it a little while holding the chopsticks.

"Well, that's a good thing."

Lin Jin'er looked at her youngest son with a smile, and then grabbed a chicken wing and started eating, and the others saw Lin Jin'er move their chopsticks, and they couldn't help but start at this stewed chicken with a fragrant smell floating all over the house.

After dinner, everything was cleaned up, and Lin Jin'er sat in the middle and began to explain.

"You remember the pumpkin seed you tasted earlier."

Chen Xu nodded hurriedly, it seems that girls are born to like to eat snacks.

"My mother decided to take the pumpkin seeds to the market in a few days and sell them."

"Mother, I'm afraid no one will buy this thing, and I can't eat it as food."

The eldest son asked innocently, and Lin Jin'er shook her head and said that she would continue.

"We are poor families, and we have to think about how to eat and clothe ourselves every day, but the ladies and ladies of those rich families do think of ways to pass the time every day, and this pumpkin seed can just be used as a pastime to eat."

Lin Jin'er knew that the money of the poor was not easy to earn, so she didn't plan to make a fortune from the poor from the beginning, which would explain it to a few people, and several people suddenly realized.

"But mother, I'm afraid you can't fry these pumpkin seeds yourself, or I'll talk to the steward and come back early to help you."

"No, I discussed it with Aunt Wang, she helped my mother get it, and the money she earned was fifty-fifty."

The others didn't say anything, but the youngest son quit.

"Mother, why do you tell Aunt Wang. I still want to show off with Xiao Liuzi. ”

Lin Jin'er was originally a little angry when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she found that it was just a strong comparison between children, so she hurriedly said.

"Xiao Liuzi doesn't know about this yet, it's too late for you to show off."

After saying this, several people smiled at Chen Liang, with ridicule in their eyes, and Chen Liang also scratched his head and stopped talking.

"I'm just telling you, you are worried about me."

Lin Jin'er stood up and said that the family meeting was over, and then entered the small kitchen with the mashed spices.

Stir-fry all of these ingredients before preparing them for the next day.

…………………………

Aunt Wang was in a hurry, and in the morning the chickens didn't crow, so she knocked on the door to find her.

"Aunt Wang."

Chen You opened the door sleepily, and when he saw that Aunt Wang naturally knew what she was here for, he smiled helplessly.

"My mother hasn't gotten up yet, or you ......"

"Don't get in the way, I know your mother hasn't woken up."

Without waiting for Chen You to finish speaking, Aunt Wang dragged her eldest daughter-in-law into the courtyard.

"Damn the beans, you chop the pumpkin here first, and I'll go back and get a few bamboo baskets."

After speaking, he handed her a pig-killing knife in his hand, and then turned around and hurriedly went home to get something.

"This ......"

Chen You stood in the courtyard at a loss, and Chen Xu also stood aside, not knowing how to help.

"You don't need you, what are you supposed to do?"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family knew that Chen Xu was also very thin, not to mention splitting pumpkins, and she was often out of breath when she fed chickens and went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

"Why are you all so weak?"

Seeing that Chen Xu was standing beside him and was embarrassed to go back to the house, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family chatted with her.

"Before I got married, my body was not very good, but now it is much better."

In fact, Chen Xu's health was much better than now, at least he could often eat eggs, although it was not big fish and meat every day, at least he could still see the meat.

But it's also strange to say, Douzi's mother also eats wild vegetables, rice porridge and potatoes every day, but her body is very strong, which even Chen You is a little envious.

"Your man is going out, you go and tell me."

Looking up, the sun had risen, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family said, meaning that there is no need for Chen Xu's pestle to be here.

"Then I'll wait out and help you out."

Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and then he smiled shyly and went back to the room.

Not long after the eldest son left, Aunt Wang also came back, not only tied a few bamboo baskets on her back, but also came back with two pumpkins in her hand.

"Ouch, Aunt Wang, what are you doing here?"

Lin Jin'er also woke up because of the movement, so she put on a gown and came out, and saw the scene in front of her.

"What? You've said that this is a rush to trade, and you can definitely do more if you can. ”

"What's the hurry, someone will definitely buy your pumpkin in a few days."

Lin Jin'er smiled, and also found a small bench to sit aside, and was just about to get started, when Aunt Wang snapped her hand aside.

"You're going to be a conductor."

Aunt Wang smiled innocently, looked straight into her eyes, and waited for Lin Jin'er to explain what she had just said.

"Didn't you say that because pumpkins are not easy to sell, many families don't grow them, let's go to the market to sell pumpkin seeds in two days, if the business is good, there will definitely be people going around to collect pumpkins, and then you can sell all those pumpkins at a higher price."

Lin Jin'er paused, and then said.

"My melon seeds fried with spices, if others want to learn, they must buy some to taste, and when they study it, we will sell out, and then we will do something else, rich people like new things, and they are not afraid that they will compete with us for business."

After saying this, Aunt Wang gave Lin Jin'er a thumbs up, and it was still the same complimentary line that had not changed for thousands of years.

"She really deserves to be the daughter-in-law of Xiucai, she is smart."

Lin Jin'er could only smile awkwardly and complain in her heart.

Does this and that Chen Gao have a half-dime relationship? I don't even know what he looks like, dead and stained with my light.

"By the way, have you heard anything about building a school?"

Aunt Wang didn't let Lin Jin'er do anything for fear of her little arms and legs, she was really flustered, so she casually found a conversation and continued to chat with Aunt Wang.

"I don't know, I still listened to my son about that matter in Wangjia Village."

Lin Jin'er nodded thoughtfully, she was completely dead to her teaching.
