Aunt Wang was sitting at Lin Jin'er's house, talking about the gossip she had just heard.

"The village chief of Wangjia Village was arrested like this, fortunately, our village chief has little ability, and the money has not been scraped together, otherwise I estimate that he will be the first to be arrested."

Lin Jin'er still doesn't know the specific situation in this village, and it's rare that Aunt Wang's house stops today, and she has time to come over and talk about gossip.

"Looks like this new county official is good?"

"Well, it's okay to look at now, who knows what will happen in the future, if you want me to say it......"

Aunt Wang closed the door of the courtyard with a thief's eyebrows.

"It's just that there is less money to make a show, and in the future, if you really have a big fat meat, you may be more greedy than the previous one."

After saying this, Aunt Wang unhurriedly took out a pumpkin from the cloth bag and put it on the table.

Lin Jin'er's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.

"Where did you get this?"

"What's that? You say this? ”

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then giggled, and it took a long time before she spoke.

"I dug in the field today, I didn't tell you a few days ago, I was thinking that potatoes and other things couldn't be sold at a price, and it took me several hands to buy pumpkin seeds."

Lin Jin'er nodded, thinking that if this was the case, she could completely sell melon seeds to start a business.

You must know that there are not many pastimes for rich wives in this year, and Aunt Wang's family buys pumpkin seeds, which shows that this thing is not unusual.

"Do you still have seeds at home, just give me a little bit?"

"Okay, I'll help you plant in the spring next year, I don't dare to let you be tired with your bones."

Aunt Wang said as she went to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife, and when she came back, she split the pumpkin.

"Yes, I'll send the Buddha to the west, help you steam it, and let your son get it when I come back."

She knew that Lin Jin'er and her daughter-in-law didn't have much strength, and she was afraid that she would hurt Lin Jin'er again because she was kind.

"Look at you, I'm embarrassed to send things to my house, I don't know how to thank you."

Lin Jin'er was a little embarrassed and pulled the corner of her clothes, but Aunt Wang felt that it didn't matter.

"Although this thing is also golden, if it is really gold, I will not give it to you."

After speaking, a simple smile appeared on the chubby face.

"Don't throw the seeds, I'm useful."

"This seed can't be planted, it has to be the kind of old one."

"I know, I'll keep it for Liang Zi to count."

"Tut-tut, Xiucai's daughter-in-law is just not ordinary."

Aunt Wang praised Lin Jin'er, and wanted to chat for a while, but she listened to a few insults in the courtyard next door.

"Ouch, I have to go back, my daughter-in-law always beats my grandson."

Aunt Wang stood up suddenly, and then ran outside, while explaining that Lin Jin'er remembered to look at the ignition.

Seeing this woman who was as strong as a cow running out of the house in a hurry, Lin Jin'er also found a small basin and began to clean these pumpkin seeds.

"Five-spice powder...... Where can I find this thing? ”

Lin Jin'er looked at the pumpkin seeds that had been washed and drained in her hands and began to worry again, what she originally thought was so simple that it was really difficult to do.

That day, Lin Jin'er and her daughter-in-law went to the market, and they deliberately looked at it and found that there was no one selling chili peppers, which means that this kind of thing should not have been passed on now, and as for the cinnamon star anise used for five-spice powder, she seems to have seen it.

After taking a few small tiles, Lin Jin'er first put the pumpkin seeds on the stove and roasted them, waiting for her eldest son to come back.

It wasn't the coldest yet, but the days had become very short, and by the time the eldest son returned, it was completely dark outside.

"Aunt Wang brought it?"

"Hmm."

The eldest son smacked his lips while nibbling on a pumpkin.

"I persuaded her last time not to grow this thing, and it would be hard for people to eat and pull a cart out."

"Why aren't there so many people eating?"

"If you don't have enough to eat, you won't be hungry in an hour. Only those from wealthy families will buy them to make some snacks, but the common people don't like to eat them. So there are no more people. Think about it, after all, the rich are a minority, so don't so many pumpkins rot in the ground? ”

"Isn't this thing cheap?"

"What's the use of being cheap, it's better to buy some japonica rice with this money."

Lin Jin'er rolled her eyes, thinking that she might be able to buy some pumpkins directly, but she would have to wait until next autumn to give birth to her own eyes.

"Will you come back tomorrow and bring me some cinnamon spices?"

Lin Jin'er wiped her hands and prepared to eat a piece too, although she didn't like to eat this thing very much before, but now it has become delicious.

"Mother, what are you buying spices for, we don't stew meat, spices are so expensive."

As soon as the eldest son said that, Lin Jin'er thought that most of the spices in the past were not products of the plains, so she hesitated and asked the price.

was within an acceptable range, thinking about how much he used to fry melon seeds, so he told Chen You to buy less.

The eldest son is filial, although he thinks it is a waste of money, but it is rare to see Lin Jin'er so energetic, so he agreed.

"Wait for my mother to get you the money."

"No, mother."

Chen You stopped Lin Jin'er, and then also said about the head of Wangjia Village.

"I don't think this school will be built for a while."

"Don't worry, when you have a child, maybe Liangzi can teach him."

The eldest son smirked when he heard Lin Jin'er say this, and then looked at Chen Xu.

"Mother, Liang Zi can't count, and he still teaches my son to read and write?"

Lin Jin'er was almost about to refute, but after thinking about it, her eldest son was a little naïve, so she held back, put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran to the kitchen to see if her melon seeds were baked.

"What is this, mother."

The youngest son couldn't stay idle, although the wild vegetables in his mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, but he ran out of the big house with Lin Jin'er and came to the small kitchen.

"Don't know the melon seeds?"

"I don't know."

The youngest son shook his head, then reached out and pinched one.

"I can eat it, I can taste it."

Lin Jin'er raised her eyebrows and gestured, and Chen Liang threw the shell into his mouth without saying a word.

"What stupid!"

Lin Jin'er squatted down and peeled off one for him, and then looked at it with expectant eyes.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's very fragrant, but you have to eat as much as you need to eat to be full."

Boys are afraid of trouble, although it is indeed delicious, but it is not interesting to eat so troublesomely.

"It's not enough to eat, but this thing can make us eat meat later."

Lin Jin'er smiled mysteriously, then put the melon seeds into a small bowl and carried them back to the house.

"Taste it too."

Lin Jin'er pushed the bowl, then pinched it herself, peeled it off and stuffed it into her youngest son's mouth.

"Mother, this is pumpkin seeds, right?"

"Hmm."

"Don't tell me, I've never seen anyone eat pumpkin seeds."

The eldest son put it down after eating a trouble, but the daughter-in-law watched Lin Jin'er eat melon seeds, and it didn't take long for her to learn.

"What do you think?"

The daughter-in-law looked at Lin Jin'er's expectant eyes and hurriedly responded.

"It's delicious, it's more fragrant than meat."

"Nonsense, then you eat melon seeds and we will eat meat."

Lin Jin'er replied to her daughter-in-law with a smile, and then prepared to try to spice up the next day when the spices arrived.
